A loud whoop sounded as the women celebrated her words.

Sugar slid an arm around her shoulder. “We kinda like having you around here.”

“Now, Diamond,” Gorgeous blurted, “it’s time for you to get inked!”

“What are you getting?” Pixie asked Diamond with an excited smile on her face.

Diamond grinned. “Rock requested that it saysRock’s Reward.”

When she finished speaking, the women in the room let out a collective sigh.

“That’s so sweet,” Ruby commented.

“When you get yours, what will yours say?” Diamond asked.

Ruby felt panic rise in her. “Not sure we’ll get there, but… I don’t know.”

“Whatever.” Pixie waved away her words. “You aresooooogetting there.”

“By the way,” Darlin’ said as Diamond and a few of the girls moved down the hall toward one of the work rooms, “what are you doing for Rebel’s birthday, tomorrow? I know the club is having a big party for all the birthdays of the month, next week, but are you doing anything?”

“What?” Ruby pulled out her phone and unlocked it. She pulled Rebel’s text string up and sent him a text.

>It’s your birthday tomorrow? Why didn’t you tell me?It’s just another day.Bullshit. How old are you going to be?29. Seriously, Ruby, it’s not a big deal.We’re having a get together at your house, tomorrow night, at six.<

She didn’t even wait for his reply. She shoved her phone in her purse and huffed out a breath. “I can’t believe he wasn’t going to tell me about his birthday.”

Chapter nineteen

Rock

Sittingatatablein the clubhouse with Rebel, Pike, and Siren, Rock was sipping a beer. His kids, all four of them, were in the cafeteria room with Axle, and he was helping them make personal pizzas. Axle was excited to introduce Nugget to Miles and Jenna, and also to start building a bond with his newest niece and nephew. Rock thought it was adorable, not that he would tell Axle that, and he wasn’t about to turn him down.

They were discussing the plans for the carnival and what needed to be done when the front door opened, and Diamond walked in with Gorgeous, Ruby, Pixie, and Sugar behind her.

His eyes locked with Diamond’s, and he asked, “You done?”

She nodded and bit her bottom lip, making him want to suck on it. “Want to see it?”

“Yes.” He set his beer down and stood.

“I can show you right here,” she said and started to lift her shirt.
