There was silence for a moment and then he commented, “Nice pick on takin’ the hellcat.”
“Awww, you have a pet name for me. Can I make one up for you?”
“No,” he replied blandly before he ended the call.
Grinning, I rolled my eyes. I liked teasing that man. He was easy to rile.
“We’re just gonna head to the last I have for them until Blaze can confirm it,” Tech informed us.
Dad looked at Tech. “How long does—” The phone rang with Blaze’s name lighting up.
Tech grinned at Dad before he answered. “Blaze.”
“Phones are saying they’re both at home.” He gave us the address, and Tech nodded.
“Thanks, man,” Tech said.
Blaze grunted and hung up.
Dad snorted. “Is he always like that?”
Tech and Saint chuckled, but it was Tech who said, “Yeah, but you learn not to take it to heart. He’s a good guy. Just rough around the edges.”
“Except with Henri,” I said.
Tech nodded. “Except with Henri, Sawyer, and Arlo. But if anyone fucks with them…” Tech shook his head. “They’ll be dead.”
“He used to deal in body parts,” I told Dad.
He swung his wide gaze around to me. “For real?”
“Yep.” I bobbed my head. “Henri told me about it the other day. It was what broke them up ages ago, but then Henri called Blaze to help rescue Dusty and they reconnected. Blaze gave up that business so he could keep Henri. He won’t let anything come between them again.”
Dad huffed. “Takes a good woman or man to come along and wake you the fuck up.”
“Damn right. Kylo was that for me. One blow job later I was a goner,” Saint said.
Tech groaned, Dad chuckled, and I grinned before I asked, “Seriously? One BJ and you were obsessed?”
“Please don’t ask him,” Tech complained.
“Fuck yes I knew he was meant to be mine.”
I nodded. “That’s pretty cool. Maybe I need to get Gun to teach?—”
“Fuck’s sake, kid,” Dad yelled.
Tech snorted before he laughed while Saint just roared his mirth.
Smiling, I shrugged. “Just saying I’d like to find my own one day.”
“Or two,” Saint commented.
I shoved him. “Zip it, peen head.”
“Dodge, you and Low are gonna be missed, but it really won’t be the same without our girl around,” Saint said, making me all buttery.
“Aww, you like me.” Stretching over, I hugged him, which he returned before patting my head awkwardly.
