Moving to Mads, I snake a hand around her waist, pullingher into me as I rest my arse on a stool. Her body stiffens. I know she only wants what’s best for them both. It isn’t our place though. They need to sort that shit out themselves.

“Do you want to hold her?” Mads asks him, her body relaxing.

He looks at me. “Probably break her.”

“You won’t,” Mads says.

My hand stays on her hip as she moves forward, placing Grace in Travis’ arms. Grace is swamped by him. “See,” Mads coos. She steps back into me, turning her head back to face me. Is she softening him up before I sit down with him?

I dip my mouth to hers, her smell suddenly making my jeans tight. We haven’t had sex since Grace was born. Mads has been healing and so have I. It hasn’t stopped me wanting her every hour of the day though. The love I have for the woman looking up at me is immeasurable.

Jack coughs. “Sorry to interrupt.”

I look up, then extend a hand, leaning forward as he hugs me.

He turns to Travis, his eyes widening as he looks at Grace. “She’s a little ripper, mate.”

Travis looks up to Jack, and the pair exchange a weird look.

I can’t help but laugh.Idiots. Sure am going to miss them, especially if the club deserts me and Jack leaves. But they’re the rules.

“What will you do now?” I ask Jack.

He signals to Talia behind the bar, pointing at the bottle of Jim Beam. “Another glass, darlin’.”

“Sure, honey,” she says. The glass is placed next to our still empty ones.

Jack scratches his head. “Fuck knows. I’m going to have to go home, see the old man. Not quite sure how to explain it all to him.”

Where would he even begin?

“Will you keep working?” Travis asks, and I notice how he makes sure Grace’s feet are covered under her blanket. He’s a natural.

“Like to. I’d also like to stay, see what lays ahead for me here, you know?”

Travis dips his chin, and I spot Red walking to a table. She bends, and I look at Jack. He’s watching her, staring fixedly as she wipes the table down.

“Dude?”

Mads cottons on, following his gaze. “You should go talk to her.”

“What?” I say, shocked Mads would entertain it.

She looks at Red. “I think she’d appreciate someone actually getting to know her.”

As opposed to just fucking her?

“She’s made some changes. Trying out something new for herself.”

Jack looks intrigued.

“She didn’t want to join a threesome when I last asked. I’d say that’s new.” Travis shrugs his shoulders with a joking look, moments before Red walks past.

“Hi,” Red practically sings at the sight of Jack.

His eyes don’t leave her as she walks to the kitchen.

“Come on.” I gently slap Mads’ arse. “I don’t want to watch this disaster unfold.” I stand, and Travis passes Grace back to Mads. We’re here to wet the baby’s head before we move to our new home, but there’s one last piece of business to see to first.
