Hannah’s eyes bugged out. “You’re getting married here? Where? Did you book the church?”

Sloane shook her head. “Uh, actually, we don’t know where we are getting married. Aero asked me suddenly, and I didn’t want to wait. Dove’s dad mentioned this place, and here we are.”

“Seriously?” Hannah asked.

There was a good possibility she thought we were all idiots.

“Uh, yeah.” Sloane hooked her arm through Aero’s. “Like I said, this is all really sudden.”

“Where are you guys from?” Hannah asked.

“Texas,” I replied. “We’re not trying to step on anyone's toes by being here.”

Hannah reared back. “You guys are totally welcome here. The club would love to meet you guys.”

Dove glanced at me.

Hannah pulled out her phone. “Let me see what Ice is up to today.” She smiled wide, pressed a few buttons, and put her phone to her ear. “The club owns Knight Building, and I never know where they are.” She pasted a cheery smile on her face and waited.

Aero turned his head toward me so Hannah couldn’t hear him. “I don’t know how to feel about this shit, brother. Part of me is on alert with her being so nice to us, but then I know Sloane would do the same damn thing if the tables were turned.”

“Same,” I muttered. “Just stay alert, and we’ll see how this goes.”

“Ice?” Hannah called. “It’s me. I’m in town, and I happened to make some new friends.” She paused a bit and then continued. “They’re from Texas and part of an MC. Wouldn’t it be fun to invite them to the clubhouse?”

Aero glanced at me. “I’m picturing Yarder on the other end of that phone and all the cuss words he would be saying.”

“Uh, I’m in front of Bay Books, why?” Hannah called.

“Uh, oh,” I muttered.

Hannah turned and looked down the street. “Okay.” She ended the call and smiled brightly. “Ice and Mercury are actually just down the street. They’re on the way.”

Jesus.

A blacked-out truck rolled down the street and parked across the street.

“Honey,” Hannah called.

The driver opened his door, and a large brown dog jumped down. He barreled across the street and straight into Hannah.

“God dammit, Samson,” the man called. “Can you at least look when you cross the street?”

“Daddy took you to work today, didn’t he?” Hannah cooed to the dog.

Sloane crouched down next to Hannah and meekly petted Samson.

I watched the man cross the street, but my eyes moved to the man who got out of the passenger seat.

“Fifty bucks says he’s the prez,” Aero muttered.

I was not going to bet against that.

The two men made it across the street and stood behind Hannah.

Hannah stood, and the driver of the truck pulled her into his arms.

The passenger nodded to Aero and me. “I’m Mercury, prez of the VII Knights MC.”
