Cal breaks the kiss, leaving them both breathless.

“Baby, yes, we did have some words over how to handle the man who attacked you and Kady. We all know that the club can do more than what the police can but that does not mean that I will not stand taller in the future when it comes to certain cases. This time it involves you and I will do anything to keep you safe and avenge the cunt who hurt you.”

“But can you come to some sort or agreement?”

“We did. I am going to help the club unofficially, to bring the bastard to justice. There will be no blowback on me or the club. We know what we are doing, okay?”

She nods, then looks to me.

“We are fine, baby. We will find this fucker and make sure that he never hurts anyone again. I know that you want us to help him, but from what we have seen, I think that he is past that point. We believe that you are not his only victim; we think this has happened before. So he will pay.”

I step to them, cupping each of their faces, keeping them looking at me.

“Nothing will break us apart. You both belong to me, in turn you belong to the club, and we will always protect what is ours. You will learn that when it comes to the Rugged Skulls MC, no one stands alone.” I kiss them both, before I pull them onto the bed for us to snuggle.

I may be a biker, but I love a good snuggle with my woman and my man.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

DARCY

“Oh, I love that color, Adley.” I smile over at the little girl who is sitting in a chair that is far too big for her while she gets her nails painted.

Her infectious smile beams at me. No one can be sad around this darling little girl, who is so freaking strong at such a young age.

“Thank you, Aunty. Mommy told me that I can have any color I wanted.”

The nail tech grins at the little girl, who has selected the color purple with glitter.

“Well, your mom is the best.” I tap her nose, making her giggle.

The sweet sound fills the room and it lightens my heart.

Astrid smiles over the top of her daughter’s head while getting her nails done. Tomorrow is my first day back at Darcy’s Delights since the attack, so the women of the club decided that they would take me out for the afternoon to get my nails and my hair done.

It has been three weeks since the attack, and I am ready to get back to work. My staff have been simply amazing with keeping the shop open, my mom and sister stepped in to help also.

When my family arrived at the hospital, my father and brother demanded to know what the club was going to do to find the man who attacked me. Hell, they wanted in on it also but Magnum put his foot down, along with my mom, saying that the club would handle it.

Maverick has been devoting every waking moment to hunting the man down, and I know that Cal has been putting on a show at the station trying to find him also, even though we all know that Cal will stand back and let the club deal with him.

I have hated seeing the divide in Cal’s eyes, but he made it very clear to me that this was the best option. The club would not let this man get away with hurting Kady and me, or anyone else, and if I wanted to stay with Maverick, then I have to understand that the club does things that I may not approve of.

The Rugged Skulls MC may not be a one percenter club, but they will fight for their club and loved ones.

That is something I can stand by.

“What color are you getting, Aunty Darcy?” A sweet voice pulls me from my thoughts.

“I am not sure, Adley. What do you think I should get?”

Her lips twist in that cute way when kids think, then her eyes pop wide open, matching her smile.

“You gots to get ice cream on your nails.”

“Ice cream? Wow.” I look to the nail tech.

“I can do that.”
