Breaking from me, he pulled me over to the table. “Glad you like the tat, babe.”
“I more than like it. I love it.”
“Worth the pain?” he asked as he grabbed my tee.
“Yes.”
“Good.”
I drew my brows down when he pushed the tee over my head. I thought he’d taken me to the table for a different reason, not to dress me.
“What’s going on?”
“Nothin’.” He took my hand and dragged me out of the room.
“Don’t you need to clean it?”
“Later.”
“But…” I glanced back at the room. “I thought we were going to have sex to celebrate.”
He grunted, dropped his head, but then lifted my hand with the ring on it. I was too busy looking up at my hand in the air to notice.
Until the room erupted into cheers.
I startled and looked at our families in the reception area of the shop.
Mum, Dad, Cody, Channa, Drake, and Ruby. Plus, Julian and Mattie with Aelia. Even Aunt Violet, Travis, and Izzy were there. As well as Low, Dodge, and Rommy.
Mum, Low, and Julian were crying. Dad, Dodge, and Uncle Mattie were consoling the ones crying happy tears with eye rolls or sighs. The rest were smiling big.
“I could have done without knowin’ you wanted to get naked, sis,” Drake said, since he was the first to approach.
“Oh God, please forget that.”
“Don’t worry, I will. I’m bleaching my brain later. Congrats, you guys.” He grinned, hugging us. The others all came forward and congratulated Texas and me.
“Party at Texas’s,” Low yelled, and people started filing out.
Dad stayed, though. He stood in front of Texas and me with thin lips and hard eyes. Until they softened when he cupped my cheeks. “You’ll always be my little girl. No matter what, you know you can come to us if he pisses you off, and I’ll kill him.”
Sniffing, I blinked the tears out, and said, “I know, Dad.”
I gripped Texas’s hand tightly when I saw Dad’s jaw clenched. “You’ve grown up into an amazing woman, Maya. I’m proud of you.”
“Dad,” I choked, emotions clogging me.
“Love you, darlin’ girl.”
“Love you too, Dad.”
He nodded, swallowed, and grunted. Removing his hands, he dipped in, and kissed my temple while I hugged him tightly around the waist. He stepped back, cleared his throat, and reached out to punch Texas on the arm.
“She’s yours to take care of, and you’d better do a fuckin’ good job as her husband.”
“I will, Prez.”
He tipped his chin up. “I know.” Dad turned and stalked out of the shop, leaving Texas and me alone.
