Bradan wraps his arm around my waist and holds his hand out for the box as Tangy grabs it, a look of disgust on her face. She places the box in his hand. He lifts me and carries me out of the apartment before I burn this motherfucker down.

“That’s half my damn wardrobe,” I growl.

“Do you really want any of that shit back? I’ll replace it all.”

“I’m gonna beat her ass. Put me down. I’m not leaving until I teach her some respect.”

Bradan chuckles but doesn’t stop moving out of the apartment. I kick and wiggle to get free, praying Angel is on her way in as we leave out so I can see her.

“She isn’t worth it. She is also human and it’s against the by-laws of the club for you to harm her. I’m not able to banish my mate or allow my brother to, so reel that shit in, Taylor. Calm the fuck down.”

I take a deep breath and calm. Banished? Angel isn’t worth losing my family. I finally have one and I’m not going to allow her to take anything else from me.

“Fine,” I mumble.

Clearly, I need to get ahold of the club by-laws to find out all the things I’m not supposed to do because, at the moment, I’m ready to kill a bitch. They are only things, but they’re my things. I’ve worked hard for everything I have.

As a child, I had to take what was given to me and cherish it. Too many times, as the smallest child, others took my things, and I said nothing. I’m not that child anymore.

I shake away the memories and calm down. My fists are still balled, but I have more control of my temper.

“Good girl. Let’s go home,” Bradan murmurs.

Taylor sits in my lap with a beer in her hand as she throws her head back and laughs at Tala and Violet. The she-wolves surround us as we have a few drinks and laughs. My little mate seems happier now after nearly exploding in that apartment.

“You guys have some of the funniest stories. I can’t wait to spend more time on the pack grounds. I wish I could have seen your wolves,” Taylor says through her laughter.

“You will love it. Our wolves have all been excited to meet you. It’s never been like this with anyone else before,” Violet says.

“I know Tika, my wolf, she adores you. When you’re not around, I can’t get her to shut up about you,” Tala adds.

“Aw, I feel so special.”

“You are,” I whisper into her ear.

She looks over her shoulder and smiles at me. A broad smile comes to my face. This is the most laid back it’s been around here in a while. I love watching Taylor fit in.

Since our talk earlier, I’ve been watching her find her confidence. I’ve often wondered how a mate would fit in with this lifestyle. Biker life can be taxing without all the supernatural dealings we have.

The one thing we have over human clubs is the lack of attention from law enforcement. Oh, they have tried but we spin them in circles easily. Not to mention, we have several human members who are in law enforcement.

So far, Taylor has proven this is where she belongs. Hearing the joy in her laughter warms my heart, especially after that scene at her old apartment. I was surprised to see her lose it the way she did.

My little one is really leaning into that fire inside. The more she does, the more she’s been coming out of her shell. The shy tension that’s also in her body has loosened up. Her new friends are good for her as well.

“You want another beer?” I breathe into her ear before nuzzling into her neck.

Her scent has been changing, taking on a smokier note. I hadn’t expected the change to happen so fast, but it’s one more thing that proves she belongs to me. I inhale deeply and savor her smell.

“Yeah, one more would be cool,” she says.

I replace her longneck without looking up. I know she has it for sure as her throat begins to move when she downs the new beer. I lick her soft skin and suck it into my mouth.

We’ll be heading upstairs soon. Her pussy pulsing against my lap proves my thoughts right. The heat coming from between her legs is calling me.

I begin to think of all the things I’ve taught her already. We’ve done a few different types of fire play. She seems to enjoy cigar play a lot. Watching Taylor give cigar service is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. Smoke play is another that has gone over really well.
