“I’m fucking lucky, beautiful. I’ll be thankful every day that you’re with me.”
“You’re too sweet,” she yawned.
“Rest, Callie. I’m not going anywhere.”
Neither of us moved the entire night.
Waking with a woman in my arms was a new experience. One I never cared about before now to explore.
Callie’s head rested over my heart, and I lazily swept my fingers over her spine, caressing her skin. How did she keep it so soft? And was that perfume or body spray that hinted at citrus and wildflowers? Because it was fast becoming a scent that I couldn’t live without.
Me. The guy who never remembered the name of the girl he fucked the night before or mixed up the names of sweet butts in the past. The one who didn’t believe in romance. I smirked as I thought about Callie and a date. The fact that I considered it all proved I wasn’t fucking around.
I could hardly wrap my head around it.
My phone buzzed as I reached for it and checked the time, cursing when I realized it was nearly noon.
Shit! I didn’t want to leave Callie but I couldn’t miss church. It was too important.
Pushing her hair aside, I kissed her forehead. “Sweetling, I need to leave. It’s almost noon.”
She mumbled something I couldn’t make out.
“Crow is waiting for me to start church.”
Her eyes fluttered. “Okay.”
“Don’t leave. I’ll find you when it’s over.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Heading to the bathroom, I took a piss and dressed, stopping to gaze at the gorgeous woman in my bed. I pulled up the covers, tucked her in, and smiled as I left my room, closing the door behind me.
Crow stared me down as I entered the chapel, the last to arrive. “Sleep well, princess?”
A few of my brothers snickered.
“Yeah, yeah. I’m here, pres.”
He picked up the gavel, slamming it down as he called the meeting to order.
“We all know what this shit is about. Fucking Undertaker and his club. They shot Hawk and nearly injured Callie. This vendetta will continue until he gets what he wants. He isn’t going to stop.”
“No, he’s not,” I agreed. “We need to make a move. Show him we’re not gonna back down from this fight.”
Jay slammed a fist down on the table. “I’m tired of hearing about Undertaker’s bullshit.”
“He sent his fucking guys to the hospital to finish me off,” Raven reminded us. “They wanted to take Bree and assault her all over again. If anyone wants that motherfucker to pay, it’s me.” He didn’t add that Chronos had assaulted Bree for eight days before Raven rescued her because Undertaker ordered it. The fucking bastard.
“You have that right,” Crow agreed. “So does Hawk.”
I cleared my throat. “Sadie Withers has a sister named Callie.”
I let that sink in.
“My Callie.”
“Are you sayin’ the chick you helped out and went to jail for is the missing girl on the news?”
