My heart starts slamming against my chest. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m scared. Really scared. I’m not sure what’s happening. Inhaling through my nose, I let the breath out of my mouth as I wait for whatever it is that’s coming my way.
The woman I’ve never seen before takes a step toward me. “Are you his wife?” she asks.
“Hiswife?” I murmur.
“Itch’s wife? I heard he got married.”
Sliding my tongue across my bottom lip, I sink my teeth into the inside of my cheeks as I try to figure out just what I’m going to say.
“I’m his wife,” I whisper softly.
I don’t know if everyone else can hear my heart slamming against my ribcage, but to me it sounds extremely loud.
She gives me a soft smile, then takes a step toward me. “My name is Tempt. I hope we can be friends?”
“Why?” I blurt out.
“Because I’m going to have Itch’s baby.”
ChapterTwenty
ITCH
Pulling up to the clubhouse,I have no idea what to expect. We have a whole pickup truck full of weed, but that’s the least of my concerns. The way Legacy said Tempt was here, the tone in his voice, it held a warning and caution. It was in a way that I don’t think I’ve ever heard from him before.
“That Kiplyn’s car?” Agony asks.
Turning my head, I look over to see Kiplyn’s ride parked in the lot. I don’t know what that means. Maybe there’s some kind of emergency? Fuck if I know what the hell is going on, but I’m going to find out.
I open the car door, jump out, and head straight for the clubhouse. Tugging the door open, I march into the room, stopping abruptly. My feet halt instantly, my entire body jerking. Tempt is there, all right, along with Duke, but that’s not what has me stopped in my tracks.
It’s my wife.
Piper stands just behind Tempt and slightly to the side. I can see her from over Tempt’s shoulder, and she’s got tears welling in her eyes.
“What the fuck is happening here?” I demand.
My eyes flick between Tempt and Piper, my heart racing and my mind spinning with confusion. Something is going on, something big, but I’m standing here with my dick in my hand and no goddamn idea of what it could be. I look like a fucking idiot. The anger in my body climbs higher and higher with each passing moment. My vision begins to go dark at the edges, and red replaces it.
“I’m pregnant,” Tempt announces.
My brows rise, and I let out a burst of laughter. The darkness and red in my vision simultaneously disappear. What the fuck is everyone being so goddamn serious about? A sweet butt is having a fucking kid. Who the shit is surprised? They fuck anyone and everyone.
“Good for you, but why the fuck do I give a shit?” I ask.
“It’s yours,” she states.
I don’t make a move. Not a single solitary move. I’m unsure that I heard her correctly. But instead of asking her, I stay silent and just stare. Some might call this shock, but I don’t know how I would classify what is going through my head. I shift my attention to Piper as tears stream down her face.
“How?” I finally ask.
Tempt’s lips curve up into a smile. “You know how,” she whispers.
Fuck.
I do know how.
“You taking care of it, then?” I ask.
