“Oh?” Josie asked.
Reese leaned down, the scruff of his face tickling her cheek.
“The night isn’t over, sweetheart… I’m following you home.”
Chapter Eleven
Reese knew exactlywhat he was walking into. He checked in with Ellis and there was nothing happening at the clubhouse. Zac and Levi were working to find any cameras that could help them find out who the guy was that gave Starla all the drugs. Hawk, Brett, and Jason were on a run south to take care of some personal business withDRM. And Luca was handling some training with the prospects. Which meant that he called up old friends with cash to bet on fighting. He would set up fights between the prospects and have a little party.
In other words, it was basically a normal night for the MC.
With the exception of Reese.
He stood in the doorway to Steph’s room, watching her as she slept. Propped up with some pillows, her head to the side.
She really had been a pain in the ass kid. Always looking for a way to hang out with Lasz. She loved her stepbrother and Lasz would have died to protect her. Hell, in some ways, that’s exactly what happened. Now she was eighteen and pregnant. Her entire life ahead of her, doing it with a kid at her side.
“Hey, you okay?”
Reese turned and saw Josie standing close by.
A black t-shirt unfairly hugged the curves that Reese’s hands had memorized so many times over. She had traded her jeans for black pants that were a little baggy. Another dagger to the temptation that flowed through Reese’s heart and mind.
“Just checking on her,” Reese whispered.
“Let her sleep.”
He pulled the door shut.
They walked to the living room where Josie had two beers on the table.
“I’m sure you can use a drink,” she said. “All things considered.”
Reese lifted the bottle and nodded. “Yeah. All things considered.”
“What do I do here, Reese?” she asked without hesitation.
“What you’ve been doing,” he said.
“This place isn’t big enough for a baby.”
“Well, you’ve got a few choices then, sweetheart,” Reese said. “Make it work here. Find a way to have a little nursery in Steph’s room. Get a bigger place. Get Steph her own place.”
“She can’t handle that,” Josie said.
When Josie tried to turn, Reese slipped a hand to her hip to keep her from actually turning.
“Why not? She needs to learn.”
“This isn’t a game. She’s pregnant. She’s going to be responsible for a human life.”
“I know that. But you can’t wipe her ass all the time.”
“Oh, says the guy who just comes and goes so freely. Sorry, I’m not a biker.”
“Don’t put your wall up right now.”
“Don’t tell me what to do.”
