She wasn’t all the way comfortable being at his club, but this was part of their compromise. “We can stay.”

Her phone started to blow up and she laughed out loud reading the reams of messages. “Who is it?”

“The boys sending their congratulations.”

“Little badass ripping off the cartel.” He smirked with pride and kissed her lips. “You need to eat.”

She did, but what she wanted more was time with her man. She told him that and he all but carried her over to one of the sofas, plonking down, he took her onto his lap.

Almost as though he was in her skin with her and knew what she needed, he cupped her cheek and brought her face forward.

It wasn’t rushed and frantic when his lips took hers and the storm of his kiss caused a sweep of air to leave her lungs.

His taste sank deep into her bones, his heat and embrace as familiar as her own. He kissed the fuck out of her in slow sips.

Hard and fierce. Possessive and loving.

They hung out with his boys for a few hours then headed out to go home, both silently agreeing they wanted to be alone.

Roux was richer then she’d been this morning, but her intention was never to keep the money if the card game went as she’d planned it to.

“I’m proud of you, baby, but couldn’t give a shit what you do with the cash. I got plenty enough for the both of us.” Tad had told her when she’d shared with him how she wanted to give it to Axel to invest in the MC. What with his deal with Ruiz going south and some of the boys still in jail, theDiabloswere close to breaking point and she couldn’t see that happening.

She had plans to go to Manhattan soon, hit the gambling there. The Bianchi organization ran a big table, she’d caught sight of the man himself milling around the underground basement on the night of Tag’s fight. There were always secretive games going on and her luck was high right now, she wanted to capitalize on it before the baby came.

Thinking of the baby made her mushy and she reached out to lace his fingers.

Eager to get home.

Weeks went by.

Amazing weeks.

She felt everything so much deeper now Tad was in her life.

Things tasted richer and the way he loved her was spectacular.

Had a woman been as lucky? No idea. She only knew she felt amazing in that love.

She was learning to split her time, straddling two lives wasn’t as hard as first thought.

If she was at the Renegade Souls place she was there as an old lady.

And when she was home, she was the daughter to that rabble. She’d warned them around the dinner table how she was not their spy. Not even if they drowned her in diamonds. They got the message where her loyalties lied and when she met her dad’s eyes she was sure she saw pride looking back at her.

She met Tad’s dad on video chat.

He’d sprung it on her, thank god she had clothes on. Savage senior was a carbon copy of his son, she saw where Tad got his looks and salty humor from. The robust man with his silver hair, tight shirt, and fingers full of silver rings was a sign of where she was heading with Tad and she was in for a treat. He was also a sweetheart and she couldn’t wait to meet him in person. Once he knew about their baby he was booking a plane ticket.

Family were not always those who shared the same blood, she’d made a family of hardass bikers who cursed, watched shitty sitcom reruns, and got into a lot of trouble most days. And she wouldn’t change them.

Family were people who stuck around, who were at your side through good and bad.

She was looking forward to adding Tad’s dad to the list of people she gave a shit about.

Roux never anticipated that she wouldwillinglyenter a relationship.

Not before Tad anyway.
