It takes all my willpower to take my eyes off Noelle and head into the bathroom, wet a washcloth, and come back to her. I clean up between her legs, and not once does Noelle budge. Once done, I take the cloth back into the bathroom, toss it in the sink, and jump in the shower real quick. As much as I’d love to climb back in bed with my woman, I’ve got church, and that needs to take precedence. We’ve got to figure out how to get rid of the threat that is sure to come our way, thanks to Hector and those fucked-up parents of hers.

I rush through my shower, get out, and dress in a pair of dark jeans and a black fitted tee. I put my shoulder holster on, then my cut and boots. I shove my wallet, phone, and keys in my pockets. I grab my gun out of my safe that I have on the dresser and slip it in the holster. Usually, I don’t have my gun on me unless I’m out handling club business, but after what all we found so far, I’m not taking any chances.

Ready to head to church, I walk back to the side of the bed and kiss Noelle on her cheek. She stirs, and her eyes open ever so slightly.

“Hey,” she whispers.

“You getting up, baby?” I ask, giving her a smirk.

Noelle shifts and sits up slightly. “Where are you going?”

“Church.”

“Oh, right.” Noelle nods and pulls that bottom lip of hers between her teeth.

I sit on the edge of the bed and brace an arm on the other side of her. My gaze locked with hers. “I’ll be here if you need me, but I’ll be in church. If something happens, get one of the prospects to come knock on the door. Otherwise, I’ll find out after we’re done. Why don’t you go join the other ol’ ladies? I’m sure Bride would love having you around. She loves bragging and claiming her cooking skills though Harlow usually does most of it. Granted, Harlow is showing her what to do and how to do it.”

Noelle again nods, but also cocks her head slightly.

“What?” I ask, sensing she wants to ask me a question.

“Why did you want to hire a nanny? It looks like you have so much help already.”

“Because they might be helping, but they also have their own lives. Bride needs someone with her when I can’t be and I can’t constantly ask the ol’ ladies.”

“I can understand that.” Noelle plays with the edge of the blanket. “But it seems to me they love having her with them.”

“True.” Reaching up, I snag her chin between two fingers and force her to look at me once more. “Bride loves being around them too. However, she needs someone who will be with her at night so she’d be in her own bed and not here at the clubhouse or another house. Having a nanny gives her the opportunity to do just that. Now, as for a nanny job, that’s no longer what I want.”

Noelle’s lips part as if she were about to speak, but I stop her.

“See, I figure since I have you in our lives, you can help with that. But you’ll also be able to do so much more. And we’ll talk about all of that later. Right now, though, I’ve gotta get to church.”

Leaning into her, I claim that sweet mouth of hers in a brief yet wet kiss that has my cock perking up.

If I didn’t have to get to church, I’d take things further.

I pull away and stand next to the bed, holding her gaze. “Don’t do anything to get in trouble.”

I grin at the way Noelle’s eyes widen in surprise and leave her to do whatever she’s going to do. Stepping out of the room, I make sure to lock the door and pull it closed. I no sooner release the handle and get three steps down the hall when two of the clubwhores, Daisy and one I haven’t yet met, step out of Kevlar’s room giggling.

Daisy zeros in on me and gives me that knowing look. “Hey, Cyprus,” She all but purrs as I go to walk past her. “Have you met Lorena yet? She’s one of the new girls.”

“I haven’t,” I answer, keeping my voice smooth as I go to walk away, but both women crowd either side of me.

“Is he the one you were telling me about?” Lorena coos and runs a hand over my shoulder. “The one with the—”

“Don’t even finish that,” I growl, shooting the woman a glare. “Few things to know if you’re gonna be around her. One, you don’t talk about the brothers, or anyone else. Two, you stay away and don’t touch unless you’re invited to do so. I haven’t given you permission and I sure as fuck won’t be.”

“Don’t tell me you’re taken too,” Daisy huffs.

Ignoring her comment, I leave them standing in the hallway and head for the room we hold church. I hate when the clubwhores think they have a claim over every one of the brothers. It’s not something we allow, and they damn well know it. Right now, there’s only a few good clubwhores around here. Daisy is one of the pushy ones and it seems she’ll have Lorena in tow. I think Valentine is the only nice one and that’s because she doesn’t sleep with everyone around her. In fact, she seems to stick to herself and helps around the clubhouse where she can.

Pushing thoughts of the clubwhores from my mind, I step into church to take my seat. It’s time to get to business and figure out a game plan.

“Early this morning, I got an interesting phone call,” Stoney announces, leaning back in his chair. We’d just finished going over the usual stuff and are now getting to the rest of it.
