“Maybe. Just maybe, we will get a little break with all this bad shit happening,” Griffin mentions offering hope.

Everyone is quiet the rest of the ride to the club. And when we do arrive, Cutter is waiting at the bar area in the club, where he can see the front door. I trail inside behind the guys with Rowan behind me.

Cutter greets Hayden and claps his hand with his. “Has it been taken care of?”

“It’s taken care of. Rowan and Claire did the honors.”

Cutter does a slight head tilt toward me, and I return the gesture. Hayden grabs a beer for both of us, takes my hand, and leads us to the bathroom. He immediately strips out of his clothes, and I follow suit, leaning up to kiss his lips.

“I think my princess has a little beast inside her.” Hayden grins against my mouth, and it causes me to smile. “It fucking turns me on, too,” he adds, starting the shower.

He steps in and offers his hand to help me. We continue kissing, and he reaches between my legs, and I immediately know and pull away. “I think I started my period.” I look down to see blood swirling toward the drain.

“I hate to admit it, but that turns me on even more,” Hayden steps forward closing the distance between us. Pressing his forehead to mine, he looks into my eyes and admits, “I need to be inside you.”

“Fuck me, Hayden,” I respond. “And don’t hold back.”

The need between us is beyond primal, and I have a feeling Hayden won’t hold back this time.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

CLAIRE

At breakfast the next morning, I am talking with Astera to make plans to go dress shopping because I don’t want to wait to get married to Hayden.

“Hayden and I decided to get married on Friday.”

“This Friday? As in the day after tomorrow,” she questions.

I giggle. “Yes.”

“Well, shit, we have a lot to do then. Why are you still standing here?”

I hear, “Take Killer with you,” and I give a look at Hayden.

He stands, cups my neck with his hands, and leans down to plant his lips on mine. “Just as a precaution. I promise this will ease up once we get through the wedding. So, I don’t want anything to happen to either of you while I go on a run with the guys.”

“Okay.” He can easily talk me into just about anything. “Whatever you are doing, be careful.”

“Always.”

“Ready?” Astera straps her purse over her shoulder.

“I’m ready.”

“That dress looks amazing on you,” Astera says, beaming. With our dresses in hand, we head out to the SUV.

Dress shopping is exhausting, but I picked out a cute two-piece dress. The top piece is all black lace and form-fitting. The skirt is white, long and flowy with a bow in the back and the bottom is black. It’s definitely me.

“It’ll be perfect to wear my combat boots underneath,” I mention.

“It’s going look so good altogether.”

We continue talking when Killer pulls into a place I am not familiar with. “What are we doing here?”

Astera grins. “I thought we could check out some places to get married. Being that it is winter, you have to do it indoors.”
