“My god, Kinsey, you’re gonna be the death of me.”
“I hope not. I want more of that first.”
“Baby, I’ll give you that anytime you want it, all you have to do is ask.”
I’m in love with Reid Knight.
CHAPTER 17
reid
I’min love with Kinsey Hayes. Having her on my bike? In my arms? Fuck, touching her and making her come? I’m a goner. I don’t deserve her, but I’m gonna make sure I do everything in my power to keep her anyway. We rode for hours, wind in our hair, nothing but long strips of empty road in front of us. Her squeals as I turned fast and hard around tight bends will live rent-free in my head forever. I knew she would love it, and pulling back into the clubhouse, I can already tell that whatever was haunting her was left on the open road. We still need to talk through a lot, but I can see the Kinsey that I know again, and that’s the progress I wanted.
I steady my bike, turning it off and standing with her in my arms. There’s a group of members hanging out on the porch, watching us, and I know it’s now or never if she’s going to meet everyone.
“Yo, Rogue, woman goes on the back of the bike,” Malice teases.
“You sure? Pretty sure I like her ass right where it is, Mal.”
“You did not just say that, holy shit.” Kinsey blushes and it’s so fucking cute.
“Sweetheart, I know you’ve got a quick mouth on you, so I’m gonna need you to dig out that wit now ’cause it’s the only way you’ll survive bein’ around these ass clowns.”
I stand with her in my arms, turning so that she can adjust her skirt out of their eyesight. I wouldn’t want to have to pluck out my brother’s eyes for seeing something they shouldn’t.
“You good, sweetheart?”
“Yeah, I’m ready.”
Kinsey starts to walk, and I keep my arm slung over her shoulders, pulling her into my side, wanting everyone to know that she’s taken. I never thought about making someone my old lady someday, but that all changed with Kinsey. It takes a vote, since it’s welcoming a new member into the club, so she needs to get to know my brothers.
We walk up to the porch, Malice immediately grabbing Kinsey’s hand and bowing like a lunatic. I smack his hand away from her with a violent growl.
“No touching.”
His eyes do this crazy thing where they get really big, and he shivers his entire body like he’s scared. We both know he isn’t.
“Kins, this is Malice, the club’s sergeant at arms. Malice, Kinsey. Be nice.”
“Hey, nice to meet you,” she replies.
“Pleasure is all mine, I’m sure of it.”
“Mal . . .” I warn through clenched teeth. If he could just hold his crazy in for a few minutes. He’s the one I’m worried will scare her out of here.
“Don’t mind him, Kinsey, he’s missing a few brain cells. I’m Wrath.”
“Hi. Thanks for housing me the last few days and saving me.”
“We’d do anything for Rogue, and it sounds like you’re an extension of him, so that includes you.”
Kinsey blushes and looks up at me with her beautiful blue eyes, and I hope she understands the gravity of what he just said. Once I make Kinsey mine in the club’s eyes, their protection will extend to her, they’ll take care of her in my place if I can’t, they’ll die for her if need be. Behind every powerful biker is a queen who has his back and his heart.
“Where’s Prez?” I ask the group.
“Doing Prez shit inside somewhere.”
I nod and turn to leave, my hand pressed to Kinsey’s back. “We’ll catch you all later.”
