With a smirk, she shakes her head. “You don’t have to do that part, but… it would unchain you from that desk job.”
“Alright. You’ve convinced me.” I roll my eyes and take the phone from Brittany’s hand while she does a happy dance in the passenger seat. “We’ll be there in about six hours. Hungry.”
“Come to the clubhouse. Brittany can tell you where to go. There’s always food here.”
Epilogue
Brittany
“Right this way, folks,” the hostess of the restaurant says as she guides us through the restaurant to the table where I met Jacob for the first time. We reserved this table for the same day every month so we can ‘relive’ our first date every month, down to the same seats and everything. It’s corny, but it was Jacob’s idea, so I go along with it regardless.
“How was your day?” he asks after we place our drink order with the waitress.
“Army actually came to buy flowers today. I think he’s dating someone.” The president of the Aces has never dated a woman as far as I know, but he bought the biggest bouquet I had, and he looked like he was sweating from the urgency of it. “It seemed like he had to make up for something.”
Jacob chuckles. “Army just bought a laundromat to stalk his high school sweetheart. I guess that’s where she’s been doing her laundry. He probably does have something to make up for.”
“To stalk her?”
Jake shakes his head. “You’d be surprised what these guys do for their Ol’ Ladies, what I’d do for you.” He reaches across the table and takes my hands in his, drawing circles over the back of one of them with those fingers that have turned calloused and rough from holding onto handlebars all day. “You don’t even want to know.”
“I don’t. You’re right.” The biker life scares me sometimes, but I’ve never known anything different. I have to trust that he’ll come home to me every day safe and whole, and he always does. And he’s happy- with me, with the club, with all the friends he’s been making at the clubhouse. They seem to be more aligned with his personality than those guys at Tech Hub.
I take a drink of my Pink Cadillac margarita when our waitress drops it off, and smirk at Jacob as soon as she’s gone. “Should we go to the bowling alley this time?”
The laugh makes him choke on his whiskey, but he recovers quickly. “No, I think the entryway floor is more appropriate.” His eyes suddenly narrow, and the muscle in his jaw flexes.
I turn around, following his line of sight, and it hits me. The women walking through the door right now with men who clearly belong to a club, those are his sisters, the ones he said are hooked up with the Kings. The two of them have a very strong resemblance to Jake- it’s undeniable.
The only other thing he’s ever said about his sisters is that he wants nothing to do with them, but when I spin back to tell him we can leave, he gives a silent nod, a gentle gesture to tell them it’s okay.
And suddenly, Sapphire and Jewel are on him, wrapping their arms around him, completing his transition from grumpy loner, to a man with people. A man who is settled into the world around him. A man who fits.
