Cindy plucked Gabi out of Hannah’s arms as they strutted away.
“I guess Gabi’s giving everybody a nickname. Did she really just call her Cindy Lou?” Cara asked, causing the group to laugh.
I would like to say I was shocked, but I wasn’t. Just like this place had become home for me, it had for Gabi as well. She was welcomed by all the children, no matter the age. There were several times Gabi had spent the night at Crystal’s, and she would send me pictures of Gabi hanging with the older kids as well.
She would sit on the bean bag with Marco while he played a game. He would even give her a controller, so she could think she was playing, too. Hannah and Cindy pampered Gabi like a true princess. I had countless pictures of those two giving the younger girls pedicures.
This club was closer than most families, and ninety percent of them weren’t related.
After everyone had congratulated us, we settled in the dining hall for dinner.
“Christian, honey, when are you going to settle down? I want some grandbabies from you, too?” Crystal said in the middle of dinner, causing him to start choking on his food.
“How you…. just …going to randomly throw that out there?” he sounded like he was about to cough up a lung as he stared at his mother, perplexed.
Crystal shrugged her shoulders. “I just want to know. All your siblings outside of Marco have settled down. When are you?”
“Not anytime soon. Okay?”
“Well, why not?”
“You want to know why? Okay. Cara’s house is like a zoo for starters.”
“Ex-squeeze me. You do know this fork I’m holding is very sharp,” Cara sassed, rolling her neck.
Capone and I were quietly laughing. As long as Crystal didn’t come for me, I was fine. The other Ol’ Ladies had already warned me that if Luca and I got to this point, she would start asking for grandbabies. I loved how she cared for all the kids equally, no matter if they were related by blood or not. Each one of them held a special place in her heart.
“You know I love all my nieces and nephews, but come on, Cara. The triplets and Chase are always up to some kind of mischief. Blade’s girls are spoiled rotten. Naomi actually rolled up on me the other day and requested a hundred dollars. When I asked her why, she said, ‘because she asked.’” He paused when the group fell out in laughter. “Not to mention Hannah and Cindy, the Kung Fu Ninja warriors. Yeah, no thanks. I’ll pass for now and enjoy my best single life.”
“Don’t be coming for my grandbabies. They’re angels,” Crystal scolded, coming to the kids’ defense.
“You’re right, they are, but from time to time, they turn into demonic miscreants, and I want no parts of that right now,” Torch replied.
“Miscreants?! Chris, you better stop playing with my babies!” Cara laughed along with the rest of us at the table.
As much as everyone wanted to deny his claims, we knew we couldn’t. That was the life of parenthood. One day, your kid could be well behaved, and the next, they would find some crazy stunt to get into. It certainly kept you on your toes, but in the end, it was worth it.
Once dinner was over, all the kids were unsurprisingly asking for a sleepover at Crystal’s. After she left with all the kids in tow, we settled in the common room. Victoria also had taken CJ home with her, so even Blade and Bianca were able to stick around.
I was currently sitting in Luca’s lap, laughing with the other Ol’ Ladies. “Where is Will? He keeps promising to make me some of his margaritas?”
“Oh, he went on a date tonight,” Alice said with a little extra volume.
“A date?!” Tech appeared out of nowhere. His outburst had a few brothers looking him over with concern.
“Yes. You know, it’s that thing single people do.” Alice smirked as Tech tried to keep a straight face before he stormed out of the clubhouse.
If I had to take a wild guess, Tech was probably about to try to track Will down. I watched as Alice pulled out her phone and began texting. There was no doubt she was warning her best friend of the incoming angry biker.
As the conversation continued to flow, I tried my hardest not to give away what I was truly feeling at the moment. Luca was as hard as a rock under me. I could feel his hardened length against my ass. I was beyond wet just from the mere thought of him stretching me out. To make matters worse, he was caressing me and whispering in my ear. God, the things he was saying would make a porn star blush.
I was ready to get out of here.
It was time to celebrate in the best way.
I knew Luca was in tune with me when he tapped my thigh, gesturing for me to stand. He grabbed my hand, leading me away without a word to the group. By the time we got to his room, my body was on fire.
As soon as we were inside his room, Luca placed me against the door and smothered my mouth with his. His hands roamed every inch of my body. Luca pulled back just enough to free me of my shirt, and then he was back to devouring my mouth.
