Savannah snorted at my side and looked up at me. Giving her a wink, I said, “Well, my future wife saw my car and apparently, she knows about cars.”
I knew what he was thinking. I already claimed her in the eyes of my club, but I hadn’t relayed exactly what all it meant. Even though I figured she would know, but she didn’t know what it meant to be claimed by me.
And I didn’t know the entire story of why she left her old club and moved away.
“Better keep an eye on her; plenty of brothers would go to war for a woman that knew her cars.” And even though Cam was happily married to Michelle, I had to clench my fists when I saw the wink he tossed at her before he walked out of the mudroom and into the kitchen.
Letting out a breath, I looked down at her, “Need anything from your bag?”
When she shook her head, I saw that her eyes weren’t as bright, and her face was a little pale. I knew that she was wiped out.
Nodding at her, I placed my hand on the small of her back and said, “Come on, I’ll give you a quick tour, and then you can rest.”
And then when I looked at Savannah's face as we stepped through the mudroom, let me tell you something.
Watching her take my house in from the outside was amazing, seeing the amazement on her face from the inside?
I thought she was beautiful seeing her picture on Powers’ phone, thought she was gorgeous seeing her face-to-face, but watching her face while she takes in everything she can see in my house? Utterly stunning.
And the pride that swelled in my chest as I watched happiness blossom on her gorgeous face?
There are no other words for it.
Looking down at her, I nodded over to one of the bar stools and pulled it out for her to sit on it.
After she was settled, I said, “Okay, allow me to make the introductions. We will start with the men and then move to the women. From right to left. You’ve met Powers, next to him is Heathen, asshole is Cam. Next to him is Gage, then Clutch. Then you have Lincoln, and next to him is Savage. And you’ve already met Monroe.”
Each of them nodded when I said their names and freaking Cam smirked at my asshole comment which got an elbow to the stomach from his woman, Michelle.
“Now, the women, they are standing next to their men. You have Lil, June, Michelle, Conleigh, Cora, Mackenzie, and Shiloh.”
They each smiled at her and then stepped forward, completely surrounding her, and talking a mile a minute.
Looking over at Savage, I asked, “Where are the kids?”
“Outside. Prospects are watching over them.” I nodded then and stepped over to him and followed his line of sight right to Shiloh.
Ever since Shiloh went missing, he wasn’t the same. Even though he told us he wanted to go it alone to find her, we hadn’t let him. So, when we weren’t busy, we were out on the streets hitting the ground with our ears to the pavement looking for any lead that could tell us where she was and what had happened to her.
And seeing that shy smile on her face now, she was still getting used to new people being in her vicinity.
“You okay, brother?” I asked him, my tone low so the others wouldn’t overhear.
“Yeah, just glad as fuck she’s back home where she belongs,” he told me as he took a pull from his beer.
Nodding at him in a way that said I got what he meant. The feeling I had when I pulled up my driveway with Savannah a little while ago it honestly felt as though everything in my world was whole.
I looked over to the living room where I saw them take Savannah. Seeing that she was laughing with the other ladies, I stayed in the kitchen with the brothers as they went over the shit that their women brought.
It was about an hour later when the women migrated to the kitchen to get some drinks and snacks. Savannah stepped to my side and handed me a bottle of cold water. Taking it from her, not even having to ask, I unscrewed the cap and handed it back to her.
She gave me a grateful smile and then took a sip.
I was leaning onto the island with my forearms braced on the marble countertop when I asked, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re no longer as tired as you were?”
In a barely-there whisper, she said, “Because your family is amazing.”
And then she followed the women back to the living room.
