Linc nodded. “You like the band?”

“I grew up on them.”

Ethan grinned. “So did we.” He shook my hand. “Nice to meet you.”

Once all the members of the Second Sons sat down, we ordered more drinks along with some pub food. Even though I’d never been around many musicians, I really liked the guys. Gaby was right about them being one big family. They joked and ragged on each other just like my cousins did.

After I’d made my way through way too many chicken wings and Corona, I eased back in my chair. At the sound of canned music echoing out of the speakers, Gaby stood up. She flicked her wrist at me. “Come on.”

“Are you about to take me to a backroom to ravish me?” I questioned hopefully.

Gaby threw back her head with a laugh. “You can’t be serious.”

“I am.”

“I thought it wasyouwho always ravishedme.”

“I’m an equally opportunity lover, not to mention horny as hell after what happened earlier between us.”

With a roll of her eyes, Gaby replied, “I wanted to dance with you, not screw you.”

At my grimace, Gaby wagged a finger at me. “Now listen here, Danny Boy, if you’re going to date a Latina/Italian mix, you’re going to have to get over this aversion to dancing.”

“Did you just call me Danny Boy?”

She grinned. “Yup.”

“That’s such a cliché.”

“Look, it’s pretty much all I know at the moment.”

“I guess I need to educate you more on my heritage.”

“Definitely the Irish side, but you don’t have to worry about your Southern side.”

“Why’s that?”

“Because I know all about it because of my uncle Jake. He even lives in the boonies.”

I laughed. “Yeah, that’s where most of my mom’s family lives, too. Hell, we might even be related.”

“I’m pretty sure if you were related to Jake Slater you’d know.”

“Oh, so he’s not one of your blood family. He’s your dad’s band member.”

“Yep. That’s Jax’s dad.”

“I see now.”

“We call them aunt and uncle because they’re practically family. I’m closer to them than some of my family.”

“That’s like Mason’s parents. They’re my cousins, but I call them aunt and uncle because I’m so close to them.

A dreamy look came over Gaby’s face at the mention of Mason. “I wonder if Mason and Laurel are having a good time on their honeymoon.”

“If they’re fucking each other’s brains out, then I’m sure they are.”

She scowled at me. “A honeymoon is about more than just sex.”
