“You just say when,” I told her, and Heathen, well, he looked irritated but the love in his eyes as he looked at June, there was no other like it.

Then I met Cam and Michelle’s two kids, Laci, and Cruz.

That was followed by Lincoln and Mackenzie’s two, Wren and Micah.

I smiled huge at Skinner and Harlow’s daughter, Chelsea. She was cute as a fucking button.

Gage and Conleigh’s daughter, Collins, was next followed by their son, Axel.

And last I got to meet Savage and Shiloh’s two daughters, Layla and Ember

When something hit me, I looked at Mackenzie and asked, “Do y’all not have club bunnies?”

I hadn’t realized that Powers was behind us listening.

She nodded, then smiled, “Yeah, but the men who are taken, they don’t touch them. It’s in the contract they sign before they are even considered to be a club girl. Mostly the prospects use them. And since this is a family-only party, they were told to clear out tonight.”

I nodded, then she asked, “Why do you ask?”

“At my father's club, it didn’t matter the event, the club bunnies were always there. And the only man I know that was faithful and didn’t hike one of their skirts up for the entire club to see was Gaston, the pres.”

Mackenzie growled, “Yeah, I really want to go there and have our boys beat the fuck out of them.”

Powers let us know he had listened when he said in a dark tone, “We might just do that.”

Then he walked away.

To say I was shocked had been an understatement.

An hour after we had eaten, the music started, not too loud, and for that I was grateful.

After we said our goodbyes because it had been a long day and it was getting colder, I was surprised when Zeke grabbed everything before I could and carried it out to his SUV.

I stopped, then I looked at him, “How did you get that here when you rode your bike all day?”

He shrugged, opened the back door, and then deposited the bags in the back, “Had one of the prospects go and grab it.”

“We could have ridden your bike,” I commented back.

He smiled at me, then opened my door for me, “One, you're pregnant. This world is full of fucking stupid ass people who can’t see a person on a bike. I don’t want to be sitting in prison with the memory of you dying while carrying ou…your baby because I’d kill whoever hit us. And I just found you. Not ready to fucking lose you. Two, I knew the ladies were going to be getting you things. They wouldn’t have fit in my saddlebags. And three, it’s late and I know you have to be worn slap out.”

He was so right.

Smiling up at him, I climbed into the SUV, buckled up, and then settled into my seat.

After he closed the door, rounded the hood, hopped in, and started the car, within ten minutes on our way home, I had fallen asleep.

And once again, I freaking missed being in his arms as he carried me into the house.

Chapter 9

Zeke

When my phone rang in the middle of the night, I let out a groan, then I rolled over, moved my hand to the nightstand, and tagged my phone.

All the while, I completely forgot it was charging, so when I pulled it to me, it bounced out of my hand and then clacked down on the hardwood floor.

I let out a curse, and then winced, hoping it hadn’t woken Savannah.
