“We’ll see how long that lasts. Brooklyn can’t stay away from the bakery. Even though it drives Slash crazy and he tries to get her to slow down.”

“What’s an Old Lady?” I asked. “Is it like, a biker wife?”

“Sorta, yeah. But an Old Lady is more than that. If something were to happen to Slash, the club would make sure Brooklyn and the baby were taken care of. We’re family.”

“Oh.” I nodded. “Well, that’s nice.”

“Nice. Yeah.”

Jazz brought over my croissant and tea, her gaze bouncing back and forth between us. “Need a refill, Bones?”

“No thanks. I’m good.” He sent her a smile.

“So, what are you guys doing today?” Jazz asked.

I broke apart the buttery croissant as I waited for Bones to reply.

He flashed a grin. “I’m getting fitted for a tuxedo.”

“You’re getting fitted for a tuxedo?” Jazz repeated. “Why?”

“Because I’m going to a charity gala with Hayden. As her date.”

“Not really, why?”

“Because Jazz seems to know you well enough to tease you.”

“Jazz hangs with the club sometimes.” He adjusted his seat. “I haven’t fucked her, if that’s what you’re getting at.”

I made a noise in the back of my throat. “That wasn’t what I was getting at.”

“Okay.” He lifted his cup of coffee to his lips. “Speaking of fucking—are you fucking anyone? Because if you are, you need stop.”

“Can you lower your voice?” I snapped, feeling my cheeks heat. “We’re in public.”

“So?”

“So, can you not drop the F-word so casually?”

“The F-word? You’re adorable. And your face is red.”

“You need to be put on a leash,” I muttered.

“The only one getting collared is you.”

“Okay, whoa. If you can’t behave, I’m leaving.” To back up what I said, I stood.
