Her spider senses went nuts.

“Safe from what? And what does it have to do with Reno? ‘Cause, dad, you offloading me to someone is pretty fucking cruel, gotta say.”

He frowned and scrubbed a hand through his already messy hair before he took a seat opposite her. Their living room was spacious with two massive L shaped couches. Thankfully, he’d always let her have the say on décor.

“Kiddo, trust me, okay?”

“With anything else, I do. With this? It’s stupid. Reno is probably at the club right now screwing a skank, and that’s who you’d choose as your son in law?”

“He can look after you.”

“All grown up, dad. I know you don’t want to face it. Look, I…” She knew Tad was a sore subject for him and she didn’t want to get into that with him now, there was plenty of time for him to discover Tad was her man and would stay her man this time. So, she went with the lesser of two evils. “I’m moving out.” When he frowned, she went on. “I’ve been looking at apartments.”

“What the fuck for? You have a perfectly good house here.”

“You know it’s time. it’s weird I still live at home with my father.”

He scowled again. “Bullshit. Is it because of that fuckingSouls?”

“Tad or Butcher. You know his name and no. I’ve been looking for a while, I narrowed it down to a couple.” She didn’t tell him both options were in the center of Armado Springs. “You need the house to yourself so you can start dating.” Not that she had any desire to think of her father with a woman. He wasn’t old, he should have someone.

Then a thought hit her.

He was just a few years older than Tad. You’d think they’d get on like an old man’s house on fire.

It tickled her funny bone and she started to chuckle.

“I’m glad you find it amusing. I don’t want an old lady, took me long enough to get rid of the last one.” his disdain was clear.

The last one being her mother and they weren’t even married.

Lord help the woman who got that stubborn pig-headed man one day. Roux would be settled in her own home by then and wouldn’t have to deal with his manly moods and spurts of bossiness.

She left him scowling in front of the TV. She didn’t want to lie to him, not after her whole adult speech, but it was better not to tell him she was going on an overnight trip with Tad.

She met him on the corner, he slid out of his truck before she got there and had the door open for her and a smile on his face.

He captured her mouth in a melting kiss, his forehead touching hers. “Fuck, missed you, Cookie.”

“Missed you too,” and she waited until they climbed in before she attacked his mouth again and buried her face into his neck, “god, you smell good.”

“You like my smell? It’ll be all over you as soon as I get you to our hotel.”

She grinned at him. “We’re not staying in a motel? I don’t mind, they’re cheaper.”

“Roux, it’s the first real fucking date I’ve been able to take you on, couldn’t give a shit about cost, we’re staying somewhere nice.”

“I like our motel though.” She said and he grinned hot and sultry, as if he was thinking the same memories as she was. Their times together were always fast, but they made each one as memorable as they could.

Now it meant she only had to see that motel door and she became horny.

“I do too, but I booked a hotel room. Buckle up, Cookie, gotta stop by the club real fast.”

Oh, fuck. She’d never been on Renegade Souls property before. She clenched her fingers together and listened to him talking the whole way there. When he parked the truck in a bay on their compound, she couldn’t help but be impressed with their updated clubhouse buildings.

“I think I should wait here for you,” she said, and he kicked up an eyebrow. “The hell? You’re not waiting in the truck, Roux. Come on.”

“You do remember who I am, don’t you?” She pressed when he latched onto her hand, lacing her fingers through his.
