Wait ...what if she wasn’t joking, though?
My boots smack against the concrete as I hurry to my bike to lean down into the mirror.
I don’t really have a fucking wonky eye, right?
There’s no way the chaos in my head is that much on display.
Right?
Valkyrie laughs as she watches me tilt my head one way, then the other as I try to see it.
I turn to glare at her when I decide she is a big, fat liar.But then it’s my turn to smile as she climbs on the back of Manic’s bike.
Well, well, well.
He swore he’d never let a woman ride bitch unless she wore his name across her neck.Seems my brother has finally decided to claim his woman.
Even during his relationship with Emma, his son’s mother, that seat stayed empty.
Valkyrie’s fate is sealed, and she remains unaware of it.
If I was a good brother-in-law, I’d probably warn her.Fuck that shit, though.I’ll sit back and watch the explosion.An enormous bowl of popcorn couldn’t hurt either.Hell, I’ll throw some hustle and sell tickets to the show.Start a betting pool or some shit.Bet I could make some good money.
They’re still bitching at each other when I fire up my bike and fly past them.I shake my head.Fucking amateur.He should have already worn her ass out for that mouth.
My hair dances in the wind as I fly through the street.
I grin, thinking about the past with my woman.
Birdie used to love being a brat on purpose.
Is that part of her still in there somewhere?I’m betting it is.
Wicked, dangerous hunger rushes through me at the thought of bringing the brat out of her again.
Devious waits on the porch as I pull up.He meets me at the bottom of the steps.
“How are they doing?”
“Alive and breathing, Prez.Heard some cute little giggles a bit ago, so I’d say they’re not complaining about where they’re at.”
“Birdie been out today?”
“They were all out here playing earlier.Will say one thing, Prez.Those three got a bond like I ain’t ever seen before.Their love for one another runs deep as fuck.She’s a good mom.”
“Naw, brother.She’s a great fucking mom.Thanks for looking after them.”
“Anytime.I’m just a phone call away if you need me.”
I clap him on the back.“You’re one hell of a prospect, Devious.You’re going to make one hell of a brother.”
He clears his throat and glances away just as Manic and Valkyrie climb from his bike.“Appreciate it.”
“Are you being a big bully again and making prospects cry?”Valkyrie snarks as she stomps up the porch.
“You two fight like you’re brother and sister or some shit,” Manic mutters.
Valkyrie’s lip curls back at his words.“No, thanks.The last brother I had let us down.”
