I stepped back from her and put my hands above my head, turning to face the officer, who had his gun pointed at me.

I smirked, and his face paled.

He knew exactly who the fuck I was.

He’d do his thing, but we wouldn’t be locked up long. And he was on my list.

Hope he spent his last few hours alive wisely. He’d ripped me away from fucking my woman.

CHAPTER TWELVE

Joey

I stepped out of the chapel, a grin pulling at my lips. Whiler was sitting at one of the tables, nursing a beer as he scrolled through social media on his phone. He looked up at me and arched a brow. “What’s got you looking so amused?” he asked.

“Can you watch Antonio for a little while?” I asked him. He nodded. “I need to go pick up Elaina and Alejandro from the station.”

“Ah, fuck,” Whiler groaned, but he was fighting a smile. “Do I want to know how they got arrested?”

“Fucking,” I bluntly told him, my grin widening. Whiler was laughing so hard, he had to set his beer down. I clapped him on the shoulder, just as amused as he was. “Thanks for watching him, brother. I’ll be back.”

He waved me off and got up, heading over to where Antonio was playing. I slipped out of the clubhouse and headed over to Elaina’s SUV, pulling her set of spare keys from my pocket.

A hush fell over the station when I walked in. Not even the least bit bothered by it, I walked up to the front desk and slid over my ID. “I’m here to pick up Alejandro Garcia and Elaina Dirks,” I told the lady working.

She handed me back my ID as she stood up. “Of course. I’ll be right back. Just take a seat.”

I shoved my license back into my wallet and then took a seat in one of the hard, cold, metal chairs. Leaning back, I threw an arm over the back of the one next to me and scanned the room. Two officers sitting at a desk were eying me warily and talking quietly amongst themselves.

Everyone that worked for this police station knew just what the Sons of Hell were capable of. They also knew that trying to stick anything on us would never work, hence why Alejandro and Elaina were both getting out within mere hours of being arrested for public indecency.

A waste of paperwork for the officer, to be honest. Maybe he’d get to finish it before Alejandro made him mysteriously disappear for this though.

No one ripped him away from his woman without consequences. And putting her in handcuffs and restraining her… he was lucky I wasn’t going after him myself.

A few minutes later, Alejandro and Elaina emerged from the back. Elaina’s eyes were bloodshot, and her cheeks were red from crying. When I stood up, she rushed to cross the remaining distance to me. I gathered her into my arms and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Come on, sweet girl. Let’s get you home.”

Sniffling, she nodded. I kept an arm around her waist and led her out the door to the waiting SUV. Once she was bundled into the backseat, I tossed the keys to Alejandro and slid in beside her.

“How the fuck did you two get caught?” I asked Alejandro once we were on the road. Elaina was curled against my side, seeking my comfort. Poor woman probably thought she’d lost this when she got arrested. We’d protected her from the cops thus far. She probably thought she’d never have to deal with being arrested—not with me and Alejandro guarding her. And normally, she wouldn’t.

We’d made it clear she was fucking untouchable. Cop that arrested them had to be a damn newbie.

“Fucking cop was doing a ride by, I guess,” Alejandro told me. He glanced in the rearview mirror at us. “Little one, you doing okay?”

She nodded against my shoulder. I glanced down at her hand when something metal brushed my skin, and I grinned.

“You got the ring on her finger?” I asked Alejandro. I grabbed Elaina’s hand to look at the sapphire and all the diamonds. Releasing a low whistle, I winked at her, making her blush. Made the plain silver band on her left ring finger pale in comparison, but I didn’t care.

Elaina had cried when I gave her that ring, and she refused to allow me to replace it.

He nodded. “Which was why we were indecently exposed,” he said, a grin playing at the corners of his lips.

Elaina’s entire face turned red. I chuckled and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. “Always so eager for sex, aren’t you, sweet girl?”

She didn’t say anything, but she did turn redder.

Fucking adorable.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“Deep breath, girly,” I heard Vern say, the sound of his tattoo needle buzzing filling the otherwise quiet clubhouse.
