What the fuck is wrong with me? Women aren’t supposed to come before the club. Especially one who isn’t patched. Not wanting to leave my girlfriend alone with bad memories isn’t a good enough excuse to skip a meeting with my brothers.
As if the universe wants to toss me a bone, Libby whirls through the front door. I blow out a relieved breath. At least I won’t be leaving Emilyalone.
“How was rehearsal?” Emily asks.
“Ah-may-zing!” She tosses her coat in the closet, kicks off her shoes, and hurries into the living room. Her eyes widen and a big grin stretches across her face when her gaze lands on us. “Dex! You’re still here.”
Emily chuckles and shifts herself out of my arms.
“You’re going to come to the play, right?” Libby asks.
“Wouldn’t miss it,” I promise.
“Oh, Em. I’m gonna stay at Linda’s Friday. We’re getting up early to work on sets Saturday and I know you like to sleep in on the weekends.”
Emily frowns. “What’s her parents’ situation again?”
“Uh, her mom’s single. She’s a nurse at Johnsonville Memorial. Brother’s a bratty little twerp.”
“Who’s going to drive you to the school Saturday?”
Libby glances away for a second. “Her mom.”
“What if she gets called into work?”
“Mackenzie will pick us up.”
Emily grumbles but agrees. “Or you can call me for a ride.”
“Whatevs,” Libby says. “How many people fit on the back of your bike, Dex?”
“Uh, one.” I wrap my arm around Emily’s waist.
“Em, can Dex give me a ride to school on his bike?” Libby asks with excitement in her voice.
I’m not touching that one. Not my place.
“Uh…” Emily’s gaze darts between her sister and me. “Yeah, that might be fine one day. You need the right helmet though.”
Libby fluffs her hair and seems to reconsider.
“I gotta head out.” I try not to notice the look of disappointment on Libby’s face. What does it say about me that I’d rather stay and listen to their back-and-forth instead of sitting down with my brothers?
Nothing good.
Emily slips her hand in mine and walks outside with me. I’m trying hard not to be a possessive dick, but I really want to toss her on the back of my bike, feel her holding me tight for the whole ride, and then tie her to my bed at the clubhouse.
“Thank you.” Emily loops her arms around my neck.
“For?”
“Today. Everything. Just being you.”
“You’re welcome.” I lean down and brush my lips against hers. “I hate going. You know that, right?”
“I’m trying to be nice about it because I know it’s important.” She pulls me down for another kiss.
“How would you feel about coming up to the clubhouse this weekend?” I ask. “I can pick you up after work Friday. We’ll stay over. Do the whole family breakfast thing Saturday morning. Sounds like Libby will be at her friend’s, then busy with her play.”
