“You let him claim you without knowing if he loves you?” my dad growled.
“I let him claim me because I lo—” Pressing my lips together, I barely stopped myself from declaring my feelings for Maverick to my dad instead of him. “You can’t be surprised by how things are going down in my relationship. Not when you’ve cheered on your club brothers as they’ve claimed their women pretty much the same damn way that Maverick did with me.”
“It’s different,” he insisted. “None of them are my daughters.”
I huffed out an irritated breath. “The double standard is so ridiculous. And frustrating.”
“There’s no ‘if’ about it, princess,” Maverick murmured when I dropped my arm back to my side.
I twisted my neck to stare up at him, my brows drawing together. “What?”
“You said that I needed to give the words to you…if I felt them,” he explained, tangling my hair in his fist to keep my head tilted back. “You gotta know there isn’t a single doubt in my mind about how I feel about you, princess.”
My breath caught in my throat at the emotion shining from his blue orbs. “There isn’t?”
“Never believed in love at first sight. Thought it was a bunch of romantic bullshit before I met you.” He brushed his lips over mine and rasped, “Felt as though I was hit by a bolt of fucking lightning. Straight to the heart.”
“It was the same for me,” I whispered.
“Shoulda told you before I left, no matter how little time we’d had together. I love the fuck out of you, Molly Mackenzie.”
My heart was racing as fast as it’d been when that gun had been held to my head. But not from fear this time. It was because I was getting everything I’d ever wished for. “I love you, too. So, so much.”
“Thank fuck.” He claimed my mouth in a deep kiss, uncaring who was watching. Our tongues tangled together as he stole my very breath from me, leaving me in a sensual fog when he finally lifted his head again. “Never gonna let you go, princess. You’re mine. All mine.”
“Then I guess it’s a good thing I wasn’t planning on going anywhere.” I smoothed my hands down his chest. “Because I’m never letting you go, either.”
“Love seeing my property patch on you.” Maverick stroked his hand over the leather vest that meant so much to me. Then he slid his palm down my arm to capture my left hand. Lifting it, he pressed a kiss to my ring finger. “But I want you to have my last name too.”
Grinning up at him, I tilted my head to the side. “Is that your way of proposing? Because you missed a couple of things. Like a ring. And actually asking me.”
“And getting my permission,” my dad muttered.
“Wasn’t planning on asking since it’s a done deal, and I don’t care about your dad’s permission unless it matters to you.” Maverick slipped his hand into a pocket on the inside of his cut and pulled out a diamond solitaire. “But I do have a ring.”
“It’s perfect,” I sniffled.
“Just like you are.” He slid the platinum band onto my finger before claiming my mouth in another deep kiss.
“I’m starting to think you don’t give a single fuck that I’m standing right here,” my father griped.
I beamed a smile at him. “Consider it payback for all of the times you practically made out with Mom in front of me, which was like every day of my life.”
He shook his head with a sigh. “You really love him?”
I nodded. “As much as Mom loves you.”
“Shit,” he groaned, stroking his hand over his beard as he eyed Maverick. “Then I guess the tie between the Silver Saints and the Iron Rogues is gonna get a fuck of a lot closer. But all bets are off if he hurts you.”
“That’s never gonna happen,” Maverick swore.
“It better not,” Dad warned.
“If it does, I’ll take care of it myself.” I winked at my dad. “Just like you taught me.”
“Shoulda known all those lessons would come back to bite me in the ass someday.” My dad chuckled. “Made you so damn sassy, you weren’t afraid to ride off on the back of Maverick’s hog. And your sister didn’t hesitate to cover for you. I’m gonna have to keep a closer eye on Callie to make sure she isn’t hiding any shit from me too.”
I quirked a brow at him. “Maybe Dane is the one you should be keeping an eye on?”
