“Goody.” His bright eyes flick to Cal. “And is the sheriff your Ol’ Man?”
My heart rate spikes as I glance at Cal over Darcy’s head. His lips twitch and I swear that little movement makes the weight lift off my soul.
“He is, brother.”
“Boom, bitches. So does that mean that I can have all the free ice cream that I want now? And I can shout at people who are mean to me and Sheriff Cal will not arrest me?”
A loud round of laughter fills the room at his questions, making him bounce on the balls of his feet in excitement.
I laugh because this man brings so much fucking joy to the club.
“Hendrix, honey, you can have free treats within reason. I am sure that your mom does not want you to have an upset tummy, just like I don’t, okay?” my sweet girl tells him.
Drix rolls his eyes and sighs. “Fine. I agree to that.”
“Drix, brother, if anyone is mean to you, I expect you to call me so that I can shout at the fuckers for you, okay?” Cal leans in and Drix mirrors him. “I may even put them in handcuffs to scare them, make them pee their pants.”
That gets us loud booming laughter from Drix, before he runs off to tell Lennox, Astrid, and Adley.
“Come on.” I tug on Darcy and angle my head at Cal.
I lead them down to my room that I keep at the club in case I am too tired to ride, or I have drunk way too much to ride. Safety first, people.
Pushing the door open, I let them step inside before I close the door behind me and lock it. Darcy stands with her hands on her hips, mindful of her wound, while Cal sits on the edge of my king-size bed.
“I want to know what is wrong. Ever since I was in the hospital there has been this tension between you both and I don’t like it.”
“It is nothing, baby, we are all good, right?” I look at Cal, imploring him with my gaze to agree with me, but he shakes his head, sighing.
“You are right. When you were being seen at the hospital we got into a disagreement over how to handle the man who hurt you.”
“What kind of disagreement?” she asks, then stops us with her hand in the air and sighs. “Never mind, I can only imagine. You wanted the law to take the lead, and Maverick wanted the club to handle it.”
He nods to her.
“Since you look like you are ready to run, I can only assume that the club won.” Turning her glare to me, I rub the back of my neck, looking away from her penetrating gaze.
Shame rocks through me seeing the amount of pain and shame that I am forcing on Cal. With my need to find this fucker who hurt our girl, and Kady, I had tunnel vision with the idea that me and the club should find him and end his life for what he did.
Now looking at Cal, really looking at him, I can see that my stubbornness is causing him to be distressed.
“So, you and your pigheadedness are making him step back with his solemn vow to serve and protect, so you can go and hunt? You and the club trying to prove that you have the bigger dicks?” Her voice is hard, stern, and I feel like I am being reprimanded by my mom.
I shrug. “Well, I do have a big cock, baby, but so does Cal.” I try to break the heavy tension but it doesn’t work.
“Now is not the fucking time to be a brat, Maverick Burke.”
“Sorry,” I mutter, looking down to the floor to hide my smirk.
Shit, I love it when she is feisty and sassy. Cal coughs to hide his laugh and I kick his toe with my boot, making him bring his twinkling eyes to mine.
Something passes between us, like understanding but also the love that we feel. Being in a relationship with two people is hard enough, but when there are three of you, there has to be a fuck load of understanding and sacrifice.
“Baby, come here.” Cal beckons her to him and she goes willingly.
She perches on his thighs, I move to sit my ass on the edge of my desk, fold my arms over my chest and cross my ankles, waiting to hear how he explains this to her. Cal kisses her lips, his hand sinking into her thick hair, while his mouth takes hers in a sweet seductive way.
My dick likes what it sees but now it not the time.
