Page 94 of Enemies to Lovers

“Saw y’all getting married, and kissin’, and all the phones come out, and I stopped to let y’all get the pictures without me and Boss in all the background shots.” He paused. “Thank God I did. I think he might’ve taken me out otherwise.”

I focused on something that wasn’t so important, which was the man I had no clue who it was.

“Um, who’s Boss?” I asked. “And what’s your name?”

I don’t know why I felt the need to know the man’s name, but he was stuck here with us and I wanted to make sure that I knew all the players.

“Garrett Carter, K-9 officer. Boss is my K-9 partner,” Garrett Carter answered. “Nice to meet you, ma’am. Congratulations.”

I had the insane urge to laugh.

I swallowed hard and said, “Thank God none of the other kids came.”

Since it was so last minute, and we hadn’t told anyone until a couple of hours before, all the kids had alternate places to be.

“I still technically count as a child,” Webber’s daughter, Eedie, said. “Seventeen’s still a child, right?”

“Correct,” Webber growled. “I shouldn’t have let you skip school.”

I loved Eedie.

She wasn’t around much since she lived with her mother, but when she was around, I could see the love that Webber had for his daughter.

I wasn’t sure of the dynamic between Webber and his ex-wife, Elizabeth, but it was bad enough that they still fought to this day about what was best for their daughter.

Then there was Eedie.

She was sweet, and so go with the flow that it was relieving.

I had a feeling if she wasn’t, she’d have some issues.

From what I’d heard from Webber and the guys, Elizabeth was a real shrew. This particular incident wasn’t going to go over well with her.

“Your mother is going to use this against me and never let you out of her sight again,” Webber grumbled, echoing my thoughts.

“Mom doesn’t even have to know,” Eedie pointed out.

“Dadadada,” Holt cried. “Dadada.”

There was some shifting as Cutter moved closer, and then another barrage of bullets and dust.

“Dadada,” Holt continued on.

Copper shifted off of me slightly, and then Holt was pulled into our arms.

I snuggled my baby tight, then pressed a kiss to Copper’s throat.

“SWAT is here,” I heard Garrett Carter say. “And a few more bikers just came out of nowhere according to the SWAT team. They disarmed him, but he ran and got into an armored vehicle.”

Said armored vehicle took off, and the BANG of metal hitting metal could be heard.

“He’s taking out all the police cruisers,” Garrett continued. “Shit, he’s taking those cruisers out like they’re made of Play-Doh.”

I glanced over to see a few of the guys now peeking over the top of the planter, trying to get a better view.

“Cakes and, holy fuckin’ shit. That’s Bodie!” Cutter supplied.

I’d heard all about Knight as well. He and his wife, Elaine, had moved overseas because Knight had been stationed in some faraway country for the last year.
