She grimaced and he knew it was Reno.Fucker.

“You look tired, you should have gone home.”

For a couple who’d been fucking for years, this small talk was new to both of them. Strange but it was all he’d ever wanted. To know the shitty little details of her day.

“Wanted to see you.”

Her face split into a grin, but it was short lived when the roar of motorcycles turned the street corner. Butcher cranked his head around to see Axel approaching with someone with him. Reno. Fucking Reno. Did the guy live here now?

“Shit,” he heard Roux say and Butcher braced his feet on the road.

“What the fuck are you doing here with my daughter?” The anger from Axel blasted when he kicked the stand of his bike and swung his leg over, striding toward Butcher.

Reno the dickface followed.

“Calm down, you’ll wake the neighbors.” Roux tried. Axel ignored her.

“Asked you a fucking question.”

“Stopped by to borrow a cup of sugar. Do people still do that? Wasn’t sure.”

Roux giggled and he sent her a wink.

“Get inside.” Axel told his daughter who didn’t move an inch. “I said get the fuck inside, I won’t tell you again.”

This put fire in Butcher’s gut.

He didn’t want to get into a brawl.

Nor get shot or start a war.

But talking to Roux in that fucking tone he wouldn’t deal very well with.

“How about you don’t talk to her like she’s a fucking dog, yeah?”

“Dad, it’s fine. I asked Tad to come by to let me know how Tag was. Please don’t start shit tonight, he hasn’t done anything that I didn’t ask of him.”

In that moment he knew what side she was choosing.

She was choosing him.

It was all the sign he needed.

Thank fucking God.

Axel growled but said nothing other than to stare bullets at Butcher’s head.

He knew protective fathers—was buddies with some of them. He hoped to feel that one day, he would if he got his way.

Butcher deserved the beating years ago. Whether he was culpable or not, a father protected his baby daughter when a grown man was sniffing around her, he did what he had to.

Butcher didn’t hold that shit against Axel.

He would have understood him hating Butcher and protecting her from getting with a biker if he hadn’t all but handed her off to one of his own men.

Fucking hypocrite.

Rival clubs would always feel a betrayal if one of their women wanted someone from the other side.
