Instead, Reese just stood quiet.

“What?” Hawk asked. “You got nothing?”

“Take it easy, brother,” Brett said to Hawk. “There’s history there. You know that.”

“History. Can’t un-pop a cherry.”

“That’s enough,” Levi said as he stood from taking a shot as he played a game of pool with Ellis.

“Prez, I’m just fucking around,” Hawk said.

“I said that’s enough,” Levi said in a stern voice. “Use your mouth to drink some whiskey or eat some pussy. Other than that, shut it.”

Hawk curled his lip and turned around.

Reese carried a big tray of food to his room. It wasn’t exactly the normal kind of night he was used to at the clubhouse, but any time he could spend with Josie, he was going to take it. Not to mention that Steph closing her eyes turned into a long nap. Long enough that he and Josie took a shower (together, of course) and hung around the front of the clubhouse before the whiskey started flying with ease.

When Steph finally did wake up, she was hungry.

At the door to his room, a prospect stood there. He side-stepped and opened the door.

“There you go, sir,” the prospect said. “Next time, if you need food, I can get it for you.”

Reese nodded. “Go get a beer.”

“For you, sir?”

“For yourself. Get something to eat and a beer. Then get your ass right back here.”

Reese went into the room and found Josie and Steph in bed next to each other, watching some sitcom show. Two guys were talking fast, using big words, that somehow was funny. Reese paused and glanced at the TV but saw no value in mindless shows.

“Food,” Steph said. “Oh, Thank God.”

“Eat up,” Reese said. “You too, Josie.”

He put the food on the bed and everyone took a plate. The club had lucked out about three months ago when a guy showed up wanting to become a member. He was a chef and got tired of the kitchen life. There was a longer backstory to his life, but the two points were this… he wore the prospect cut and did as he was told without fight. And he was damn good at cooking. Which meant the MC had been eating like kings for a while now.

“This is amazing,” Steph said with a big bite of burger in her mouth.

She wiped the corner of her mouth of gooey cheese and ketchup.

“Feed that baby,” Reese said. He leaned against his dresser, chowing on a burger, drinking a beer.

Steph sat up with her legs crossed.

Reese admired the bulge on her belly, still amazed that she was pregnant. He really couldn’t imagine what Lasz would do if here were alive to see this.

Josie looked at Reese and he winked. Her cheeks turned red almost instantly.

It was a good feeling. It was a real good feeling. Almost like a sense of home. The MC was family, but this was home. Fulfilling everything he said he would. Meaning taking care of Lasz’s stepsister and falling in love with Josie. Even with the hell waiting outside the room and outside the clubhouse.

“So, are we sleeping here?” Steph asked.

“Yeah,” Reese said.

“Yeah?” Josie asked.

“Sweetheart, the guys are all getting loosened up,” Reese said. “So, anything you came here to talk about, it’ll have to wait until tomorrow anyway. You’re safe here.”
