A prez and father were in the house. Butcher stayed where he was but cranked his neck around to find blue eyes bullet sharp trained on him.

Right behind him, standing like two pieces of soldier toast were Reno and Chains. Of fucking course, the whole gang was here.

He moved to Roux’s side but made sure they saw him slipping his hand around her waist and nudged her into his body.

“Axel.” Butcher started. “We dropped off your shit. You’re welcome.”

There was nothing headier than feeling his woman curve her body against his, aligning them as a team. It calmed something within.

He didn’t want her to be on the outs with her family, especially her dad. He didn’t want her to have to choose between them. So he was going to swallow his pride as much as he could for her and do what he needed to make this situation work.

“Reno, I see you hiding back there,” his girl proclaimed in a haughty tone that was hot enough to nearly get him hard as stone.

Reno pushed passed Axel and glared. “I wasn’t hiding. Was waiting my turn.”

“For what? And if you say what I think you’re gonna say, let’s have it out now. Who were you with last night?”

The other man blinked. Butcher could feel sorry for the asshole getting grilled by a determined Roux, but he was too busy grinning on the inside and giving her hip a supportive squeeze.

Axel ignored him and prowled over to the coffee machine. Chains sat himself at the table.

“What?” Frowned Reno.

“You heard me. Which of the club chasers were you screwing last night?”

“I don’t know her name.”

“There you go. And this is who you want me to spend my life with, dad, seriously? You want him to run around on your daughter? Your only baby girl? Your favorite princess?”

Chains chuckled into a cup and even Butcher felt his lips twitch. She was laying it on a bit thick, but her meaning was crystal clear.

“Give it a fucking rest,” Axel said.

“I’ll be faithful after you put my ring on.”

His Roux made a sound that if he hadn’t been holding her, he was sure she would have launched at the guy. “I swear, if I felt even a flicker of anything for you, which I do not, thank fuck, I’d punch you in the dick for that remark. I was with Tad last night, so I guess we both cheated.” She gloated with a smile stretching her perfect lips.

Butcher slid a hand around her hip, up her back and to the back of her nape. “Cookie.” He warned low but he wanted to grin like an idiot.

He faced the devil head on, switching his eyes to Axel. “You gonna be good with this or is it something we need to talk about? If it’s not made clear, Roux wants to be with me. We’re together.”

“So that means I am not now or ever will be engaged to a cheating, sweet bottom fucking, asshole.” Roux piped in and he pressed her nape gently.

Seriously fucking gone over this woman. Her and her big, lovely mouth.

“Prez?” Reno said, “not that I want our girl with aSouls…”

“Not your girl.”

“Not your girl.”

Butcher and Roux spoke together, and she pinged a grin up at him.

“But you think we should say something now?” Reno finished.

Axel was busy brooding like a bear.

It was Chains who said, “Fucking hell, girlie. Your dad has only tried to look after you, right? You know it’s what he does.”
