I pull away and smile at him again. “How much longer do you have before you have to go back downstairs?”

That dims some of the smile he gives me, but not as much as I figured. “I’ve got time. Enough that I can probably go one more round, go check on the kids with you, and then introduce you to the guys before we have Church.”

“One more round, huh?” I’m never going to turn down orgasms, that’s for sure. I gently clench my inner muscles around him, making him groan and then hiss. “Did you bring a second condom in here, big guy? And is your hot water going to run out soon?”

“Probably, so we’ll have to move this out of the shower, but I already scoped out the vanity. It’s perfect height for me to fuck you from behind and watch you in the mirror.”

Oh, now that sounds hot as hell. “Then I guess we'd better get to it,” I purr, leaning forward to nip at his lower lip. “We can shower afterward since we’re just going to get dirty again.”

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX

HULK

I see why they call him Taz.

I expectthat we’re going to walk up to see the kids, but Avery stops me when we walk out of my room. I’m feeling a lot more relaxed after so much time with Avery, that’s for damn sure. The world doesn’t feel so heavy right now, but I know it’s going to come back, so I want to spend a little more time with her and get to know the kids better. They’re important to her, so they’re important to me. I just have to hope that they can accept me and that we can have a good relationship.

Still, that’s a bigger worry for another day.

Instead, I follow Avery down the hall toward the stairs. “Apparently, everyone is hanging out in the common area now,” Avery explains, holding my hand tightly. “They blacked out the windows so no one can see out or in and locked the door.”

That eases some worry. I don’t want Sawyer or Isla seeing any of the bodies lying around. Who knows how long it will takefor the Feds to get that all cleaned up, so I guess we’ll have to get comfy in here for a while.

When we reach the top of the stairs, I stop her and pull her back, and give her a quick kiss. “Thank you,” I murmur when I pull her away.

She smiles at me. “I’m always here when you need me,” she murmurs back. Then she winks. “Though I think I should be thanking you for all those orgasms. I haven’t been this relaxed in a long time.”

I chuckle. “Angel, I’ll give you as many as you can stand every time.” We descend the steps, and I see the room is full of all three club members, along with Thea, Rose, the kids, and the Prospects. All of them are eating, but of course, Isla’s the first to notice us.

The wicked grin she gives us already has me bracing for what she’s going to say. Of course, she doesn’t disappoint. Isla stands up and starts a slow clap. “I thought we were going to have to send someone up to do a welfare check, with how long you were gone. I was even prepared for an ER visit and having to do some stick drawing again. You know, to be helpful.”

Everyone starts laughing, but I see Savage exchange a look with Rogue, and the two of them get a pinched look on their faces. Savage must feel my stare, because he holds my stare, and once everyone goes quiet, he asks, “Is that one yours?” with a nod at Isla.

“She is,” I return evenly. I don’t need a situation like we did with the Misfits. I hear Avery’s quiet intake of breath, and out of the corner of my eye, I see Isla’s eyes widen.

“Brother, you in the market for two more just like her?” Savage asks me drily. He jerks a thumb at Rogue, who glares at him. “He has twin girls the same age as her, and they’re just as bad. Maybe I’ll send them all to you, and they can be your problem.”

“Fuck off,” Rogue growls at him, clearly annoyed that his President would offer up his children.

“Brother, they walked in on you and your Old Lady, walked back out, and made you a freaking sign to walk out to. What did it say? Oh, yeah, it said, ‘She’s faking it. Try harder next time.’ You about blew a gasket, and Scarlett spent the entire night laughing.”

“I love them,” Isla gushes, clapping her hands.

“If they come here, can I go there? Please?” Sawyer begs with a groan. “I can’t take three of them.”

“We haven’t even added Macy to the mix,” Rose snickers. “Oh, yes, please, I want to have all these lovely girls under one roof.”

“Like hell,” Bullet growls. “Shadow doesn’t have enough bail money for all the Coven and their crazy friends.”

“Bail money?” Taz asks, perking up. “Wait, wait, wait. You have a bail fund for the women? And you call them the Coven?” He giggles like a schoolgirl. “What do I need to do to join this club? I bet I could come up with some great ways to use that money.” He grins wickedly.

I watch as Rose gives him a thoughtful look. “Oh, I think we could come up with something for you, handsome,” she flirts.

Taz preens and looks at a glowering Bullet. “Don’t worry, brother, I won’t allow her to fall for me. I know how perfect I am, but there has to be some of me left to give all the lovely ladies out there.”

“Yeah, a freaking aneurysm having to deal with all your bullshit and mood swings,” Karissa calls out from the other side of the room. There’s a lot of snickers and laughter at that from their club.

Taz pouts. “I’m in touch with my emotions, there’s nothing wrong with that.” Then he grins wickedly. “And I’m not the one who climbed into bed looking for dick when you were drunk.”
