Dante was not one for examining his emotions, but he suspected what was going on. What had been happening from the moment he’d laid eyes on Sage.

They all teased Sonny about falling for Avery. Dante most of all.

It turns out, the joke was on him.

He’d gone and fallen for Sage. Fallen hard, fallen for the first time. Ever.

And he didn’t like it one fucking bit.

“Fucking woman,” he muttered to himself.

“We’ll get you back to her in one piece,” Sonny assured him with a pat on the back.

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Don’t play dumb. You’re just like me. Oh, man, how the mighty have fallen.” Sonny chuckled darkly.

Dante offered up two middle fingers.

“So, are you two exclusive or what?” Sonny asked, pulling out a cigarette and lighting up.

“We aren’tanything,” Dante proclaimed, a lump forming in his throat. “I told you before, we fucked. That’s it.”

He hated lying.

“Whatever. I know what I see. Man, you are so fucked.”

“Me? I ain’t the one with a kid on the way. If anyone’s fucked, it’s you.”

Jackson and Wyatt sidled up to them. “You guys ready for the fight?”

“I am, but Dante not so much. He’s worried about leaving his lady behind.” Sonny laughed.

Dante scowled at his brother but got nothing but a smile in return.

“Nice hickey. I guess she sucks real good. Care to share?” Jackson taunted.

Dante shoved his brother in the shoulder. “Watch your mouth.”

“Why? She’s just a rando bitch, right?”

“Shut your mouth. Or I’ll do it for you.”

Dante got up in Jackson’s face, his temper near to boiling over. He’d never come close to punching one of his brothers but there was a first time for everything.

“Stop taunting him.” Wyatt smacked Jackson on the back of the head. “And let me do it. Hey D, you gonna marry her and have a bunch of rugrats?”

“Can we fucking leave this alone and focus on the job? Jesus Christ, you guys are so goddamn nosy for a bunch of bikers.”

Jackson shrugged. “Hey, it’s not every day we see you acting strange over some woman. Any woman. This is major, man.”

“Enough, it’s time,” Sonny reminded them.

“Why’s Avery suiting up?” Wyatt asked.

All of them looked over to find Avery, decked out in black leather, checking out her weapons. The woman was a total badass bitch.

“I told her it was too dangerous in her condition, but you think she listens to me?” Sonny scoffed and finished his cigarette. “I’m gonna have an ulcer at this rate.”
