Petros (Royal Bastards MC)
Page 12
She beams up at me, the twinkle back in her eyes instead of the worry for Blake. It fucking warms my heart she’s not just my woman but loves the club equally fierce. Today is our three-year wedding anniversary.
Took me over a year to pop the question because this woman didn’t believe in marriage. Not too weird with how shit went down due to her father. So, the whole waiting a year before popping the question gave me the time to show her life gets as real as it can between the two of us.
No hidden skeletons—well, for sure as shit none in my closet when it comes to her and me—and skeletons, dead bodies, whatever, we had to deal with over time; we bury together. In the MC world there is no place for weakness and the kind of strength she holds fires up mine. She belongs by my side, and it’s the reason I officially asked her and managed to slap a ring on her finger.
Well, to be honest, I didn’t really pop the question. I threw a knife with a little bag attached to it when she was about to retrieve her own knives from the board. I’ll never forget the angry look she threw me over her shoulder when I threw the knife. It quickly changed though when she noticed—and opened—the tiny bag and saw the ring inside.
She jumped straight into my welcoming arms, screaming yes over and over. Two weeks later we were married. Every day on our anniversary we head out for burgers and take a long ride after and end it with eating ice cream in bed. Exactly how we’re determined to end up tonight…the ice cream dripping down her body while I lick every inch of her.
Hopefully life can hit the pause button long enough for us to enjoy ourselves for the night. Blake and whatever he's dealing with, the debt collecting business where some shit can backfire easily. Not to mention the rival MC who popped up when we wiped out Iron Grims MC.
Never a dull moment, and life might be in the balance at every turn, but it doesn’t mean you don’t have to stop from putting your heart at risk along with it. Even if it makes you vulnerable it can also strengthen enough to face the whole fucking world together, head on. And it’s exactly what she does to me, and the club. Our Princess right along with it.
“Ready,” Kinsey says. “Let me check on Angelina one more time.”
“Fuck no,” I growl. “You know how these guys spoil her rotten when we’re gone; she’s in good hands. Besides…we’re already late as it is.”
“And whose fault is that?” She shoots me a fierce glare.
I know damn well I’m the reason we’re late because I strolled right back into the clubhouse to give our girl one last hug before we left, because she was on Blake’s hip standing in front of the window with her arm raised and fucking tears in her eyes.
I shrug. “It’s a hard world, darlin’. Rushing from start to finish. Sometimes we get to say fuck it, turn around, and take the time to get one more fucking hug or sloppy, drooly kisses on the cheek from our kid. But I’m all yours now.”
“You do know what you just said would allow me to get the one more hug, right?” She damn well smirks at me.
Leaning close to her ear, I whisper, “Woman…between you and me we’d never leave if we keep doing the one more hug thing. And I really want your tits pressed against my back while we ride to our little place where my cock can have one of your sloppy kisses.”
She rubs her damn thighs together at the same time I hear Helix yell, “Would you two get the fuck out of here already? How can I spoil the kid with fucking candy when you guys never leave?”
“No candy!” Kinsey and I both snap at the same time.
“See?” Helix barks. “Fuckin’ leave already.”
I glance back at Kinsey, eyes filled with the love my heart holds for her. I let my lips find hers and brush them against her. “Come on, let’s do this.”
My fingers lace with hers as we head for my bike to enjoy our ride, hamburgers, ice cream, life, and everything else this fucked-up world has to offer.
