“I’ll send you a couple over. It’s a good way for you to get to know the men, too. I’m assuming you’ve decided to hang with us for a while.”

“Yeah, thinking I’m going to like it here. Besides, I got called a biker today and realized I was still wearing the cut that Ford gave me when I washed my hands of the SOMC. He wanted me to wear it while I decided on my next move.”

“We’ll be glad to have you. I think you’ll fit in great here,” Crusher says, as we make it to the door.

The first sight I see is Gabby laughing with Dani and Nicole, staring at the sofa like she won the lottery. The smile on her face lights up the room, just like it always does.

“Yeah, it’s starting to feel like this is definitely where I belong,” I respond, my gaze never leaving Gabby’s face—despite feeling the weight of Dragon’s stare.

Chapter 18

Gabby

“Is everyone gone?”King asks as he and Pez walk through the front door.

Pez is a newly patched member of the club. He’s tall and cut, but not as muscular as most of the members. I don’t know him that well, but he seems like a good guy. I think he’s kind of hung up on Iris, Devil’s daughter. I hate to break it to him, but she only has eyes for Micah, one of Diesel’s sons. This place is like a full-time soap opera, honestly.

“Yeah, they left about thirty minutes ago. What is that?” I ask, frowning.

“I decided to add a few more items to the mine column,” he says, avoiding my eyes.

“What does that mean?”

“It means the man went crazy and bought two televisions. The other is still in the truck. This here bad boy is so nice though, that we’re all coming here to watch the games on Saturday night, Gabs, so you need to prepare,” Pez answers, as they put the box down.

“You bought two televisions?” I ask King.

“Ut oh. I know that tone. I’ll go out and get the second TV on my own. It’s smaller,” he adds as he leaves the room.

“Now, Sunshine?—”

“I told you to stop calling me that,” I growl, crossing my arms at my chest. “I told you I didn’t need a lot.”

“I know.”

“It’s important to me I pay my own way, King. I thought you understood that!”

“I do,” he responds, making me want to slap him.

“Well, it sure doesn’t look like it!”

“Are you going to bitch, or are you going to let me explain?”

“I’m leaning toward bitching, only because you explain, but you never stop pushing my boundaries. Do you know how much money you spent today? And I don’t want to think about how much this television cost! It’s huge.”

“It’s eighty-five inches.”

“Oh my God. Why would you need a television that big?”

“Don’t girls always say that size matters?” he quips.

“Quit trying to be cute. I’m seriously pissed at you right now. You aren’t allowed to try to derail that, King.”

“So, you’re saying that I could?”

“I don’t want you spending money like this. Jellybean and I are fine. I know you were behind everything the club did tonight, too.”

“Only the furniture. The rest of it was all Dani and Nicole, I swear. C’mon, Gabby. Even you have to admit they were great tonight.”
