Grinning, I shake my head. “We’ve already entered it, so let’s have some fun in making a statement.”
“Fuck yeah.” Twister snickers.
“I’ll go get the toys.” Gadget chuckles.

“You ready?” I ask, looking at my brothers. We just finished putting the explosives in place and getting the warehouse wired to blow, and I, for one, am ready to see it happen. Without it, I can at least have the vision of that bastard staring at my woman wiped from my head. Not really, but at least the building will be gone that he saw her in.
“Ready,” Gadget confirms and holds out the trigger to detonate the building.
I look to the others and hold it out, offering it to them, but Horse and Stoney shake their heads.
“Your woman, you blow the place,” Horse mutters.
I nod and look back to the building as I push the red button. The sound of the explosives going off is like music to my ears. It would be more satisfying if the’Marionette’ were actually inside. But for now, I can say it suffices me. We’ll get him, and when we do, I’ll make sure he feels enough pain for what he said to Athena.
“Now that’s done, let’s get back to the clubhouse. I feel like I can sleep for a week,” Horse grumbles and sighs. “Shit, I’ve got to get to the house, sleep for all of an hour, then take my daughter to archery practice. I told Kenny I’d take her while she takes the boys to some party.”
“Have a prospect follow Kenny,” Twister mutters. “None of the ol’ ladies are to be without protection.”
I nod, fully agreeing with my Prez.
Together we all leave the burning warehouse and head for our bikes. Time to get back and rest up. Tomorrow or, well today, who knows what will happen. But one thing I do know is when it comes to Athena, I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she’s safe. The same goes for that kid of hers, Jesse. I’ll make sure she and that boy get the life they need. It might not be bad now, but regardless, they deserve a world of happiness, and I intend to make it happen.
CHAPTER23
ATHENA
Waking up to arms around me, I sigh happily. It’s a feeling unlike any other. And I like it enough, I know I don’t want to lose it.
I turn in Brass’s arms and tilt my head back to face him. He looks peaceful in his sleep. The thought of leaving passes through my mind, and I shove it away. I’m perfectly content in staying right here where I am.
I brush my fingers over his bare chest and bite my lower lip, remembering what all he’d done to me.
“You going to just lay there looking at me?” he asks, voice filled with sleep, and he makes a noise in the back of his throat, clearing it.
“The thought does sound appealing,” I answer and twirl a finger over his nipple ring. I didn’t think something like a pierced nipple could be sexy, but it definitely is hot.
“Well, we’ve got shit to do today,” he announces and rolls me to my back. His bigger body moving between my thighs, his cock at my entrance, eyes locking with mine. “Before we get to that shit, I’ve got something right here to take care of.”
Surging forward, he sinks inside me, and that’s all it takes for me. I wrap around him and let him take me however he feels the need to.
It’s incredible. Truly amazing and blissfully erotic. I love the feeling of him inside me. It’s a feeling I will never forget not even when I’m old and gray.

“What is it you said we’ve got to do today?” I ask, facing Brass. After our latest spout of sex, we showered together and now we’ve just gotten dressed.
“I didn’t say what we’re doing, but I’ll tell you now,” he says, coming in my space. “We’re gonna go get Jesse, then go back to your place.”
“What?” I can’t help but blink up at him.
“You heard me.” Leaning in, he presses his forehead to mine. “Last night, I told you you were done with this shit. Meaning you’re done. I want you, and I want to be with you. Having you means also getting Jesse. He needs to be able to get used to having me around and so do you.”
“Brass . . .”
“I know what you’re about to say, and you can save it,” he grunts and pulls me flush against his chest. “We’ve known each other once upon a time. Now, we’re back in each other’s lives. I’m not afraid to go after what I want. Things are going to have to change, and we’ll work on it together, but we’re doing it together.”
