“You look lovely,” Mav quietly states, and grabs my arm as I trip over his foot. Which I have to tell you has a massive biker boot on it. He’s wearing black jeans, a button-down shirt and the leather vest which has all the writing on. The cult vest as I think of it.

I climb into the SUV that he guides me to and helps me sit inside before closing the door. After he removes his vest and places it on the back seat, then gets into the vehicle, we quickly make our way to the club, talking quietly as we traveled.

Walking into Club Whisky a while later, I trip over something on the ground and nearly fall onto my hands and knees. Mav grabs me around the waist and rights me once more. I’m not sure why I seem to be so clumsy of late! “You’re really trying to fall at my feet, aren’t you?” Mav chuckles.

Now, I’m not one to take offense, but I think if someone trips or falls, you don’t make fun of it, so I scowl at his response even though I know he’s joking. Looking where I’m going I see a lot of men wearing the same vest as Mav is wearing, and without thinking, I mumble, ‘It’s a cult!’

“What’s a cult?” Mav asks, but before I can reply someone steps between us and I scurry to a nearby empty table where I quickly take a seat, and think that solves the tripping incidents for now.

The evening progresses well, and we have what is called a basket meal. Mine is fried chicken, fries and onion rings, and it is great. “I’ve not had a basket meal before, and I love it.”

“They are good, and there is a wide choice now too. We have the best desserts around if you want to try one?” Mav is licking his fingers and I’m fascinated watching how he sucks, then slides his mouth down a finger. I swallow hard because this has my mindwandering to some naughty thoughts, which I’m brought out of when Mav asks, “You okay, Blake?”

Dang, he noticed, and he’s amused. The sparkle in his eyes tells me he knew exactly where my thoughts had wandered to. Thankfully, before I can reply, a lady sits at our table and gives Mav and me a huge smile. Then a massive man sits next to her, throwing his arm around her shoulders. He looks me right in the eye and smiles, and that is when my eyes notice the dimples…

“Yeah, she’s got the look. The dimples did it, didn’t they?” The woman asks me.

“Sorry, that was rude of me, but my eyes just saw the dimple pop on his cheek and it took my attention.”

“Happens to everyone, don’t worry about it. I’m Jo and we met at the Coffee House when Mia had the coffee morning. That was the morning one of the twins had gas, and I mean he had it bad.”

“Oh…I remember the twins and the gas incident.” I grin because it still amuses me that the one twin had smelled the butt of the other.

“I wanted to say hello before we head out. Bitty told us all that she claimed you as a daughter,” Jo giggles. “You will have to watch those three. They are trouble and can rope you in for any mischief they have planned. I know because they have got me involved plenty of times.”

Laughing a little, I reply, “For now, Bitty has not gotten me in any trouble. In fact, she’s done the opposite. But I will take what you have said and watch what Bitty is doing.”

“Okay, my man, I have a scene to play out,” Jo says to her man and gives him such a look that I feel myself blushing. Theyboth jump to their feet and nearly run out of the club, and I’m watching in total amazement, I have to admit.

“Sex. That’s what she’s talking about. She’s an author, writes hot as fuck sexy stories, but she has Knuckles play out all the sex scenes with her, so she has them right. Well, that’s her excuse. I think she just wants in his pants,” Mav chuckles.

Before I can respond a woman walks up to the table from behind Mav, so honestly he doesn’t see her coming. But she throws herself onto his lap, wraps her arms around his neck, and before he or I can say or do anything, she’s kissing him.

Now, I’m no idiot and not going to be disrespected, so I’m on my feet before you can say ‘Jack shit’ and I’m out the door looking around for a cab. I know they hang around waiting to pick up customers, so make my way over to one quickly and jump inside, telling the driver my address.

I know I was rash running like that, but he didn’t push the woman off quickly as you would expect when on a date with someone else. It told me he knows her and they have been intimate. No way am I sitting and watching that on a date. He needs to get his act together and his past just where it should be, in the past, before he contacts me again. I need to see and speak to Bitty tomorrow. I’m thinking she’ll have some good advice for me on this subject, and I’ll be quite happy to go along with what she suggests.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

-:- MAV -:-

I’m so taken by surprise I don’t react quickly enough, and fuck, I’m going to pay for this. I jump to my feet and watch as Sharon falls to the floor squealing ‘Ouch’, as if I give a shit about her.

“BLAKE!” I shout as I run after her out of the front door of the club, and see her in the back of a cab while it pulls away, leaving me watching my date leave.

Storming back inside, I see my club brothers staring in shock at what they just witnessed. But what has me stopping in my tracks and my mouth hanging open is Raven, who had been having a meal with Grease.

“What the shit do you think you were doing? How dare you assault Mav like that?” Raven is right in Sharon’s face, but it’s frightening because she is not screaming or shouting. She is deadly quiet. Turning to look at me, Raven surprises me even more, “Mav, I reported this as assault to Forest, and he’s sending Ty and Aaron to arrest her. I’m a witness, and so is everyone else.”

“No, I didn’t assault him. I just kissed him,” Sharon whines.

“That’s classed as sexual assault.” Raven is getting angrier as the minutes tick by, and I look at Grease, who is watching Raven with pride in his eyes…we are all fucked! We watch our women being bold and independent and we glow with pride. What happened to bikers being in charge? I blame Axel for this because it all started to go downhill when Mia came on the scene. Mind you, I’m not brave enough to say that out loud. Iwant my balls to produce kids one day, and not be sitting in the bottom of Mia’s purse.

“Go find Blake and speak to her. Go on, move it, or you’ll lose your woman before you even get her. What a first date this turned out to be,” Raven snaps, which shakes me out of my stupor, and after giving her a chin lift of thanks, I dash outside and to the SUV.

It doesn’t take me long to get to Blake’s house and I know she is safely inside as a light is on in the bedroom. I shout her name, but she’s not answering, and when I step back and look again at the window, the light has been extinguished. Fuck…fuck…fuck!

Walking into the clubhouse, I head right to the bar and grab a bottle of beer. Taking a seat, I swallow half the bottle in one go. I’m well and truly in trouble now. I know that Bitty claimed her as a daughter and she’s gonna be hot on my ass, that’s for sure. Sighing because I know tomorrow is going to be one hell of a day.
