She lifted a brow, yeah, there’s that shield falling a little bit more.
I groaned as I adjusted my cock and then checked the road and pulled back on it.
Which caused her to giggle, and because my hand was resting on her thigh, I pinched her.
She jumped and then started laughing.

I watched as mom looked behind Alec, and then she lifted a brow. “No woman?”
He looked at Tatum, then back at her. “No, Mom. Done with women for a while. I ever bring another one. I’ll be serious about her.”
Mom’s eyes went to Tatum, and the apology was clear in her gaze.
She was glad that Alec was doing that, and yet, she hated that it took Tatum getting hurt for that to happen.
Just then, I moved in and wrapped my arm around her side, my hand landing on her hip, letting her know I was there.
After that, dinner flowed like it always did.
Ethan and Melanie were sitting together.
Bronson, Madalyn, and Cole were sitting beside Lila and Madalyn had her head bent, giggling at something Lila had said.
Dom was there, eying Talia for some reason.
I’d ask him about it later.
Mom and Dad had decided to keep Madalyn, Cole, Melanie, and Granger for the night and shooed us all off.
We all looked at one another, and it was Bronson who said, “Virgin Mary’s?”
And that was how we all ended up at the bar.
And I was about to slam some motherfuckers face into the bar top if he watched my woman’s ass one more time as she passed by.
Tatum caught my look and growled at me.
I narrowed my eyes at her and glared.
She threw her hands up in the air.
There it was, that little shield slipping further down.
Bring it on, Tink.
Cause I want it all.
“What do you want me to do about it?” she asked.
“You can tell that motherfucker that if he looks at you like you’re his one more goddamned time, I’m going to reach into his chest and rip out his fucking heart.”
She sighed, “Seriously?”
I shrugged, then took a pull from my beer, “Heart doesn’t beat, ain’t gotta worry ‘bout him.”
That was when Tatum shook her head and then started giggling.
