The wordsI love youare on the tip of my tongue as he holds me close, both of us trying to regain our breath, but I hold them back. Now isn’t the right time to be making any big declarations.
Chapter Twenty-Three
A Not So Surprise Party
Beast
My birthday has always just been another day of the year to me, but the guys always like to make a production of someone’s birthday. I mean, we are outlaw bikers and any reason for a party is a good reason. So, every year I go along with it, joining in the festivities and the debauchery that goes along with a party thrown by the Gypsy Bastards.
This year is a little different, though. After I fucked Irene over her desk at Dusk, I drove her back to the motel she’s staying at, and we went at it three more times before passing out. This morning she woke me up with what she refers to as “birthday head.” This means I woke up to her sucking me off like it was the last thing she would ever do, before we showered and I dropped her off at work.
Best.
Birthday.
Ever.
We only decided to try this friends-with-benefits thing last night, but I don’t regret it. I would rather have her in my life a little than not have her at all.
The ringing of my cell phone pulls me out of my daydream. My sister’s name flashes across the screen and a smile blooms across my face.
“Hey, Trinity. What’s up?”
“Not much. Happy birthday, Kelly,” her soft voice carries down the line.
“Thanks, girl. It would be better if I could see my little sister, though.” I miss her like crazy.
I’ve been her guardian since she was twelve years old, when our mom passed away. She is twenty now and away at college. But the last time we spoke she hinted that she might show up here around this time.
“I’m so sorry, Kelly. I wanted to surprise you and be there tonight. It was all planned. But these midterms are killing me.”
“Don’t beat yourself up about it, Trinity,” I reply. “I know if you could be here, you would. But you’ll be home for Christmas?”
“I wouldn’t miss it for anything,” she replies enthusiastically. “I need to meet this woman you and Justice keep talking about. And find out how I can convince her to give you a chance.” She laughs.
We talk a bit more before she has to run off to class. I miss her like crazy, but she’s getting the education she needs to make a better future for herself. Trinity worked her ass off in high school to get a scholarship because she didn’t want to burden me. I’m so proud of what she has already accomplished.
“Where’s Irene?” Justice asks as he carries a case of vodka behind the bar.
“She working,” I reply as I help him stock the bar.
“The whole day?”
“Yeah,” I reply. “Maurice isn’t doing well so Preacher is going down to Florida to see him.”
“Shit. That sucks.”
“It does, but Irene told him she’s closing at two no matter how busy they are, and he agreed.” I smile. “She may miss most of the party, but she will join us as soon as she can.”

The music is pumping through the speakers and laughter fills the room. All the guys are here with their women. It’s just past one in the morning and all the children have already left with their respective babysitters so the PG rating has been lifted.
Some of the guys have women on their laps, while others have disappeared deeper into the clubhouse to get their freak on. Sparrow and Mad Dog are playing pool and taking money from anyone willing to challenge either of them.
Hadley has secluded herself into a corner where she is working on a piece of ink Pope wanted on his chest. Storm and Kaiya are smiling and dancing. Everything is falling into place.
