She freezes as if she just heard me, shock in her eyes. “You love me?”
I smile. “Fuck yeah, I love you. But I need to know you’re safe, so I am one hundred percent focused. You don’t have to like it, babe. You can even be a bitch to everyone if you want. Just stay there until I come back to you.” I kissed her mouth, her throat, and then her collarbone, making her shiver beneath me. “I’ll take the first fifty diaper changes.”
She brightens at that. “Yeah?”
I nod. “Hell, yeah, I will. Just come to the clubhouse and stay there. Please?”
She lays a hand on my face, and I turn, kissing her palm and her wrist, all the way up to the crook of her arm. “Tank.” Her tone is a mixture of lust and pleading. Her resolve is weakening, even if she doesn’t want to go, she’s thinking about it. For me.
“Say yes, Sophie.”
By the time she answers, my hands and mouth are on her tits, driving her wild, making her hips gyrate and her hands searching for something to hold on to. “Yes, okay, Tank. Yes.”
“Good girl,” I tell her and then give her another orgasm before we head to MC headquarters.
CHAPTERTWENTY-SEVEN
Sophie
“Thanks for coming with me, Josie.” I squeeze her hand tight as we settle at a table in the clubhouse where all the women and club whores gather with food and drinks. And babies.
“No problem. It’s kind of like a field trip to the zoo, seeing all the animals in their natural habitat.” She laughs, looking around with wide eyes as if we’re on some safari. I backhand her arm. “Ow, what the fuck?”
“Stop it. These are people.” Rude people, apparently, but still. “And we’re guests here.”
Josie rolls her eyes. “Reluctant guests. You called me, remember that. Something about not wanting to be behind enemy lines on your own?”
Yeah, I called in a favor to my best friend, and because she’s the absolute best, she dropped everything and showed up at the clubhouse with her own duffel bag. “And I appreciate it, but let’s try not to make things worse.”
Josie rolls her eyes. “Oh, come on. They’re not even paying attention to us. No one has come over to even sayhey, welcome to lockdown. If you need anything, just let me know.” Her gaze scans the room, scorn on her face as she shakes her head. “We’re here because Tank swung his dick, and you said yes. These chicks aren’t our friends, but I don’t care. You do.”
“You’re right.” I shouldn’t care, but I do. Most of these women were nice to me when they came to the clinic. Now, though, since Dr. Nova’s gone? It’s like I’m trash or something. “Whatever. I don’t care.”
“You do, but it’s part of your charm.” She flashes a wide, teasing smile that makes me feel a little better. “Have you talked to your parents about everything?”
“Yes and no. They saw the clinic on the news and called. Mom wanted to come over to check on me, but I told her the police didn’t know who did it or who was the target, and it wasn’t safe right now.” I hate lying to my parents, but I would hate it more if something happened to them because of me.
“At least it kept them away, but you know you can’t keep the baby from them forever, right?”
I glare at my best friend. “Yeah, I know. I’m hoping that showing up with an adorable baby in my arms will make them forget everything else.”
Josie laughs out loud. “Solid plan. I approve.”
“Thanks,” I say, trying to hold back a smile, but I fail.
“So, why is everyone here?”
“Lockdown,” I answer easily, ignoring the pinch that even minutes later, no one has come to say anything to us.
“Why?”
I shrug. “Tank didn’t say. Just that they needed to take care of some shit, and he couldn’t focus on what needed to be done if he was worried about me.” I tell Josie about the guy at the grocery store, and she doesn’t take the news well.
“What the fuck, Soph? You know that means they were following you, right?”
I nod. I hadn’t thought of it at the time, but on the drive home, it came to me. “I know. But I didn’t want you to worry.” I feel like I’ve been saying that a lot lately.
Josie takes my hands, forcing my gaze to hers. “You know that normal people in regular relationships don’t have to deal with this shit, right? There’s no danger lurking around every corner, and I mean this sincerely as fuck. Are you sure you want to bring this constant level of worry into your life? Mine? Your family’s?”
