“Gray is going to be an asshole about his eyes.” Tate reached over and gently ran his finger over Lucky’s fuzzy hair.

“Let him.”

CHAPTER 20

Reagan

I was cleaning up dinner that night when the front door of the house burst open and around ten women rushed in. Vera and Nellie were leading the pack but Maxie was there, too. The guys were at the table, Lucky giggling happily in West’s arms, but Tate and Mills each jumped up until they saw who was coming in.

“Why are you here? Did y’all work things out? I hope you made them work for your forgiveness because they were giant dicks to you.” Vera made a face at her brothers. “Whatever you’re doing, stop, Reagan. It’s time for our…girl date…”

“We didn’t work anything out other than a work schedule.” I rolled my eyes in the guys’ direction. “How did you know I was here?”

Maxie held up her hand.

“Jolene told me and I told everyone else.”

An older woman I didn’t recognize stepped away from the group and wrapped me in a hug, completely ignoring the sponge I had in my hand.

“Oh, honey. You’re just as beautiful as these ladies described. I’m Sugar Moore. I own the local dentist office and I’m a whiz with kids so as soon as your little one is ready, come on in. You’ll get the girl date discount.”

Mills came over to stand against the island behind me.

“What girl date?”

I shot him a look.

“I don’t think it’s any of your business. You’re my boss, not my boyfriend.”

His eyes flashed and for a moment I felt like I was staring into the eyes of the man who’d fucked me senseless at Club Devil. We were back at that night, his body sweaty as he fucked me with that same expression on his face. His eyes dipped to my mouthand I watched as his hands tightened where they gripped the counter.

“Oh, Mills. Relax for once in your life.” Nellie waved him away and wrapped her arm around my shoulders. “Okay, this is going to be a challenge but you’re coming with us and you’re going to leave Lucky with our brothers.”

I hesitated. They’d never been alone with Lucky. They’d only held him a few times. I couldn’t just leave my son with…his fathers. Taking a deep breath, I looked back at Mills and searched his face.

“Are you comfortable watching—”

“He’s my son.” With those three simple words Mills ended the debate before it started.

I washed my hands and ran them through my hair.

“Should I change? I should change. Right? I’ll go change really fast.”

I was back downstairs in just a few minutes, dressed in a pair of leggings and an oversized t-shirt which hung off my shoulder. The other women had been dressed casually so I figured it’d work. Vera whistled when she saw me. “No bra? You’re a tease, aren’t you? I love it. Well. I’d love it more if it wasn’t my brothers you were teasing.”

I coughed out a denial. “I’m not— no one’s teasing anyone.”

Nellie nodded and glared at her sister.

“Good. Because that would imply you’re still interested in our brothers and you shouldn’t be. At least not until they prove they’re worthy of you.”

A woman I quickly learned was Ava, owner of Pearly Things, stepped forward and ran her hands through my hair.

“You have so much hair. If we didn’t have plans already for the night, I’d insist on getting you in my chair and giving you a cut. I bet you’d look amazing with a butterfly cut.”

Maxie fluffed the ends of her pink hair.

“Ava does my hair monthly now. We had to stop for a while when I was pregnant with Hank and that was painful. I’ve learned that after going pink I don’t want to go back to any other color.”
