Grim returns with a clean shirt and socks for me so I run back to Natasha’s room to get dressed. Plus, I want to see her before I have to leave because now my dad wants to give me a piece of his fucking mind and he’s in full club President mode. When I walk into Natasha’s room I see her in just a towel, dripping wet. Fuck me.

“Fuck you look sexy.” I shut the door behind me and quickly make my way over to her. As soon as I reach her I grab her close and kiss the living daylights out of her. Hearing her sweet moans makes my dick grow and I thrust against her.

“Wow.” She whispers as we break apart. Without saying a thing, I put on Grim’s shirt and socks and then my boots and leather vest. All the while we look at each other, not saying a thing.

“I’ll catch ya later baby.” I kiss her again, this time longer and more dick thrust. I want to be on her mind all day.

“I’ll look forward to it.”

Shit, this woman has got me securely by the balls. She must know that if I want her to be my old lady how I feel about her right? I’m shit scared of saying those all-important words.

I give her a wink before leaving her standing looking back at me, fuck that was hard to do.

Today is West’s birthday bash and everyone is at the clubhouse celebrating with him. It’s nice to see him with a genuine smile on his face. After he was seriously hurt by The Devils in his own house, he hasn’t really been himself. He has only just started to become independent from his injuries because they fucked him up that bad. It’s been horrible to see him so down, he hasn’t even been able to ride his bike.

“Hey lovely ladies.” West sits down at our table.

I’m sat with all the girls, including Maci, Marie and Nelly. For the past week or so, we’ve been getting closer.

“Happy birthday West.” I say. He seems a little tipsy and after what he’s been through, beside the fact that it’s his birthday, he deserves to be.

“You been having a good day?” Drew asks him.

“Now that I’m sat with you beautiful ladies, I sure am.” He winks, making us all laugh.

“Such a charmer.” Marie laughs.

“Well, I have to have something going for me after nearly dying.” He pouts.

We all laugh. Yes, West did very nearly die on that road and many times recovering, but he sure does milk it. Especially with the ladies.

“You poor baby.” I rub his back in sympathy.

“West.” I hear Devlin voice and look up to see him standing behind us.

Devlin’s eyes are fixed on my hand that’s sarcastically rubbing West’s back. Ever so slowly, I remove my hand and took it safely back on my lap. Nelly’s face looks weary and I know why, Devlin has told me he wants me as his old lady and here I am rubbing another man’s back. In the normal word, that wouldn’t be such a big deal, but here in the MC world it really is. The men here are more old fashioned and protective of their women.

Devlin hasn’t come out right and told everyone he has claimed me as his, but he has made it known in other ways. He sleeps in my bed, even though we still haven’t had sex. He lets me ride on the back of his bike and is seen by my side often. He doesn’t need to say the words, the members already have a clue and so do the women. I tell them most of what happened between us anyway.

“Hey Devlin!” West greets without having a clue what’s really going on here. He’s too drunk. “Thank you for coming!”

Oh fuck, Devlin really does look pissed. The longer Devlin frowns the angrier I seem to get. Why should he be so angry? I’m not doing anything seriously wrong. I’m having a little fun and West is none the wiser. It’s not like I’m openly flirting with another man. Devlin should know I’m not like that, not anymore anyway.

“West can I have a word?” Devlin asks him, after he’s done glaring down at him.

“Sure.” West agrees.

“Oh my god!” I shout. “Are you serious?” Every around the table, including some club members surround, looks to me.

“Deadly.” Devlin shoots those dark intense eyes at me but I ignore the flutter in my heart.

“You’re not talking to him.” I demand.

“And why not?” Devlin steps closer.

“Nothing is wrong, there’s no need to.” I glare at his stupidly sexy face.

“From where I was standing, I think I do need to have a chat with him. Some thing’s need to be made clear.” He doesn’t look happy at all. I know that I’m in trouble and we seem to have everyone’s attention now. Great, not only is he pissed for me touching West, but now I look disrespectful to him. Fuck this shit.

“Do what you want Devlin!” I storm off, storming through members and their families. God I’m so fucking angry! As I make it outside to the clubs garden, and I hear someone behind me.

“Go away Devlin.” I snap.

“It’s me.” Lauren runs around me, panting from having to catch me up. “I told him to stay away for a couple of minutes.”

“Thanks.” I stand still, looking up to the sky and growling. “What the fuck of wrong with that man!”

“He likes you.” She shrugs. “It’s obvious.”

“But he’s being pathetic!” I argue.

“He hasn’t openly claimed you as his old lady and it’s clear it’s killing him.” She smiles at me, trying to calm me down. “He’s just jealous that he saw you being playful with West, even if it wasn’t meant in that way, Devlin saw it that way.”

“Yeah maybe.” I agree. “Men really are stupid.”

“Hell yes they are.” Lauren laughs along with me.

“What the fuck just happened?” I ask nobody in particular as I watch Lauren run after Natasha.

“You are one stupid man.” Grim laughs at me.

“Shut the fuck up.” I push him away and go to follow the women but Elise, Drew and even my dad and Grim stop me.

“Give her some space.” Drew glares at me.

“I need to talk to her.” I insist, trying not to hurt my sisters feelings as well.

“Son, take it from my and listen to your sister. Give Natasha some space and wait for her to come to you.” My dad declares, like he’s the fucking bitch whisperer or something.

“No, give her an hour to cool off and then go talk to her.” Grim corrects my dad. “She will think you don’t care if you leave her too long.”

I look at every one, all thinking they have an input on my life.

“What the fuck?” I ask. “She’s my woman, and I’m going after her!”

“Oh really?” Elise rolls her eyes.

“Yeah, didn’t see that one coming.” Scrappy jokes.

“This funny to you?” I push him away, Scrappy doesn’t seem to like that and storms back over to me.

“Yeah, not such a joker now are you?”

“Calm down!” My dad shouts. “Natasha really your woman?”

I look him in the eye. “Not officially, but I’ve told her.”

“She agree with that?” He asks.

“Yes, but she’s not ready just yet.” I answer him honestly.

“Well that’s enough for me.” My dad straightens up, a sign he’s back in President mode. “Everyone leave him the fuck alone and let him deal with it the way he chooses.”

Almost immediately, everyone steps away and goes back to their own business. The president’s word is final. Drew however, still stands firm. “Don’t you hurt her.”

“I won’t.” I promise, kissing her forehead as I pass her by.

“He’s going in!” Baby shouts as I walk in Natasha’s direction. The little shit.

“Make sure to protect your balls!” Grim shouts after. God if they weren’t my brothers I’d fucking kill them.

“That man is so fucking stupid.” I complain.

“I hear ya.” Lauren holler back,
