“Are you just going to lay there smelling my hair, or are you going to kiss me good morning?” Athena teases.
I tickle her side, right above her hip, making her laugh. “I was tryin’ to let you sleep.”
“No need. I’ve been awake for a while,” she admits.
“Well, what the hell? I could have been havin’ my way with you this whole time?” I deadpan.
She rolls over, so she’s facin’ me and looks me dead in the eye. “You still could.”
Her words make my dick hard and I groan.
“Goddess,” I growl out.
“What?” she asks innocently.
“You know what,” I tell her. She bats her eyelashes at me. “Athena,” I warn.
“Okay, okay, I’ll wait.” She gives me a soft kiss on my lips and crawls out of bed. She’s wearin’ my t-shirt and it falls to mid-thigh on her.
“Damn it, Goddess. You’re a damn temptress,” I laugh.
She glances at me over her shoulder. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She sways her hips as she walks to the bathroom. I roll onto my back and let out a laugh. I wait until she closes the bathroom door before I climb out of bed and get dressed. Athena comes out of the bathroom to see that I’m out of bed and fully clothed. She sticks out her bottom lip and pouts.
I walk over to her, pullin’ her into my arms. “I have a meeting in a couple hours. I gotta make sure my officers are around and ready. After my meeting is over, I’m all yours.”
“Promise?” she asks.
“I promise.” I tilt her chin up and suck her bottom lip between my teeth before kissin’ her. “Stay in here as long as you want.”
A couple hours later, I’m sittin’ in Church with my officers, Ranger, Gunner, and Robbie, plus Raze. Along with Andrei Orlov and his guys.
“Since when is he one of your officers?” Andrei asks, pointin’ at Raze.
“He’s not yet. I’m preparin’ him to take over as Prez one day,” I admit. Not a single person in this room is shocked by my admission.
“You’ll have to step down some day. He will make a good president when you do,” Andrei says. “Now, on to business.”
I take the time to fill them in on everything that’s happened with the cartel and Athena’s ex. By the time we’re done talkin’ and makin’ plans, two hours have passed.
“I’d like to see my daughter and grandson now,” Andrei says when we’re done.
“Of course. Let’s go find them,” I tell him.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Athena
The past couple of weeks have been quiet around the clubhouse. The light lockdown has honestly been nice. I have been able to get to know all the Ol’ Ladies. Cali, Buster’s lady, and Wren, Sketch’s lady, both have kids.
Caden, Cali and Buster’s little boy, will be one next month. He’s already walking and has been roaming the clubhouse non-stop, keeping Buster on his toes. The ladies are all hoping we’ll be able to have a birthday party for him, but Bull says we have to wait and see what the threat level is like.
Wren and Sketch’s little girl, Fallon, will be three months old on the fourteenth. Little Miss Fallon has her uncle Hollywood wrapped around her tiny little finger already. All the brothers seem to dote on her. Him specifically though, he hardly lets anyone else hold her. I’d say that man is built to have a daughter of his own. Hopefully, one of those babies in Tink’s belly is a girl for his sake.
Because of the lockdown, Tink brought her puppy, Belle, with her. She’s so well behaved for being so young still and she’s already fully potty trained. Caden has had a blast following her around and playing with her.
With everyone here, it’s been a full house, but it’s comforting having everyone in the same place. Except for the cut sluts anyway. Some of them are okay, but I’ve caught Carmine eye fucking Bull more than once. I make a point to hang all over him when I catch her staring. It pisses her off, which is entertaining. Even though she has no legit reason to be mad, she’s just a jealous bitch.
