I didn’t know why I was trying to get out of going home. Maybe I was afraid that if I did, things might change.

“I already paid for the week here.” I tried. “It’s nonrefundable.”

He laughed softly, making me bounce lightly against his chest.

“I already took care of it. They only charged you for two nights. If you get out within the hour it’ll only be one.” He explained.

“I didn’t buy anybody any presents.” I tried again.

His mouth widened from a lip tilt to a grin. “I know damn well you did thatweeksago. You’ve been shopping on the internet for a while now.”

I scrunched my nose up at him. “They’re probably really mad at me.”

My laugh was audible now. “They actually thinkI’mthe dumbass. None of them has any negative opinions about you, I promise.”

“I drove my car.” I said weakly.

My lips went from his ear, down his jaw, and settled on his lips.

“I drove my bike, but I think we won’t have a problem getting your car back, honey.” He said as he stood up, walked to the window that overlooked the driveway and the beach beyond, then pulled the blinds backward.

“Holy shit,” I breathed.

Every single one of the men that belonged to the Benton Chapter was on the beach.

The driveway was absolutely filled to the brim with bikes. Some even had to park in the sand. “How the hell are they going to get that bike out of the sand?” I asked worriedly as I saw one bike in particular buried midway up the wheels.

Kettle’s eyes flitted to that particular bike and shrugged. “It’ll happen... eventually. There’s enough manpower.”

Baylee was sitting on the tailgate of Sebastian’s pick-up feeding her daughter, and when she looked up and spotted me, she waved furiously.

I returned the wave and dropped the window treatment before turning back to Kettle. “Thank you, Kettle.”

He crowded me until my back was plastered up against the window and leaned forward. He was so close that I could see the striations in his beautiful blue eyes.

“So, will you come home with me?” He rasped.

At my nod, he smiled. “I love you, Addy.”

My eyes filled with tears. “I love you, too, Tiago.”

He leaned forward, closing the last bit of distance between the two of us and gave me a scorching kiss I felt to the tips of my toes before pulling back abruptly.

His heat left me, and I stumbled forward with the loss of his body.

Following my movements, I watched as he walked quickly across the room and stopped beside a large box, picked it up, and returned to the window that I was leaning against.

“I had these made for you. I knew it had to be something different, since you can’t be seen walking into school with a huge ass ‘Property of Kettle’ patch across your back like all the other old ladies wear. Minnie spent a ton of time on these, and I really hope you like them.” He said as he took the lid off the box.

Inside was a killer set of boots.

“Oh, God,” I breathed. “Oh, my God. They’re beautiful.”

Black leather, with chrome colored steel accents and pointy heals that were painted blood red; they were the most bad ass looking boots I’d ever seen.

The top half of the boots were fairly plain except for a wraith like woman stitched into the leather with ‘Kettle’s Property’in bold white underneath.

Immediately, I started ripping at the sleep pants I was wearing, pushing them off my legs in a rush. Once off, I painstakingly undid buckles, unlaced the leather tie-ups on the inside and shoved my feet into each.
