I groan. “I knew she couldn’t keep her mouth shut.”
“She had no choice. I basically accused you two of having an affair.”
I glare at him, and he laughs. “Brother, I know you wouldn’t go there, but it got me the information I needed, and then she spent the night giving me makeup sex to prove she’s only got eyes for me.”
“You’re a narcissistic prick,” I tell him.
“How did it go, and why the hell didn’t you want me to know?”
“Cos I wanted to avoid this bullshit,” I say.
“Who is she?”
“No one you know.”
“Brother,” he says, sounding exasperated, “come on, give me something.”
“She works near The Bar,” I mutter reluctantly. “We’ve had a few dates.”
“Fuck,” he says with a shit-eating grin. “You like her.”
“Don’t be a dick.”
“You do, cos you’re keeping her from the club. You don’t wanna scare her off.”
“Well, she’s gonna be at the opening, so there’ll be no more hiding her.”
“That’s great, brother. I’m pleased for yah. What’s her family like?”
I smile at the memory of last night. “Nice. Welcoming. She’s got her parents and two sisters. They look like a normal family.”
“Good. Did Fable give you shit last night?”
My smile falters. “I caught her almost fucking Fletch on the bar.”
He stares at me for a long minute. “What’s going on there, brother?”
“Nothing,” I say a little too quickly, “but she should be resting after having the kid. The brothers need to lay off her.”
“She’s free to say no at any time,” he says. “Was Fletch outta line?”
I shake my head. “No, nothing like that.”
“I’ll speak to the guys, make sure they check she’s okay before they do shit.”
I give a nod, hating the thought of my brothers being with her. “And for the record, she likes being called Luna.”
“Why?”
“That’s her name, dickhead,” I say with a grin. “I like it.”
“I reckon you like way more than her name,” he says, his tone teasing.
I give my head a shake. “Nah, it’s not like that, Pres. She’s a mess, barely looking after the kid, and she’s got no money. I don’t need a reminder of my own mother.”
“Which is why you’re dating a mystery woman with a good family?”
I give a nod. “Exactly. She’s a businesswoman and has her head screwed on right. She’ll be good for me. I’m just helping Luna get back on her feet so she don’t let that baby down.”
