Holiday Havoc (Reckless Bastards MC 7)

“No, I didn’t,” she insisted. “You saved yourself. And I’m so glad you did because look at us now. We’re so blessed. We have a loving home.”

“A hot as fuck wife and two strong little boys.”

She squirmed on my lap until I groaned and gripped her hips to keep her still. “Hot as fuck?”

“You know you’re the hottest thing in all of Nevada, babe. And the whole wide world.”

She laughed and poked her soft midsection. “Me? With this baby gut and thunder thighs? You must be in love,” she joked and batted her eyelashes prettily.

“You have no idea.”

Jana slid off my lap and grinned. “I have some idea, and I have something for you.” She disappeared up the stairs, leaving me alone with my thoughts for a moment. I thought about my boys, giggling loudly as they opened up presents. Pint-sized motorcycles, building blocks, trucks and even a miniature ten-gallon cowboy hat for Charlie who believed Lasso to be a real-life cowboy and wanted to be just like him.

My boys were the second and third best thing that had ever happened to me and watching them be normal, healthy, well-adjusted kids made me proud. Hell, made me grateful that a screwed up bastard like me had a hand in them turning out that way. Jana thought I did it, that I was the strong one, but the truth was, Jana was the heart, the soul and the muscle of our family.

“Here we are. Time for grown up gifts.” Something altogether different crossed my mind until I looked up, wiggling my eyebrows and saw Jana, weighed down by three large boxes. “Not that kind of grown up, ya big perv!”

“A man can hope, can’t he?”

“He doesn’t need to hope because I have it on good authority that you’re getting lucky tonight.” She rolled her eyes and set the boxed on the table in front of me. “Open up and don’t be afraid to go crazy like the boys.”

I looked up at her and laughed. “Very funny.”

“Open them!” She was so excited I found myself tearing at the paper with the snowmen dressed in leather to get to the first box.

“Oh babe, you shouldn’t have.” It was a brand new leather vest with little mockups of where my patches would go.

“I wasn’t sure on protocol for things like that but I saw this vest and I just knew you’d look super hot in it. So go on,” she waved her hands at me, “and put it on!”

With a laugh, I did as my woman instructed and slipped on the vest. “Well?”

“Hot as fuck, baby.” She licked her lips hungrily and I barely resisted the urge to wrap my lips around her hard nipples peeking through her top. “Next one.”

The next gift was for me. In a way. “Jana, I’m afraid this isn’t my size.”

She laughed and smacked my arm. “It’s for me to wear. For you.”

“Well this gift is one I can cash in tonight. Right?”

She nodded slowly, her lips in a seductive grin that was fucking irresistible. “We’ll see.” Green eyes slid to the final and biggest box.

“Damn. You drive a hard bargain, woman.” Still I tore into the final box and ripped through the lid and froze. Three little leather jackets were inside, two black and one pink. “Babe? What? Are you…?”

She smiled, her skin flushed a beautiful shade of pink. “No, I’m not pregnant or anything but I think we should keep going until we get a little girl to put that pink jacket on.”

I was already sold on that idea. “And if we have two more boys before we have a girl?”

Jana rolled her eyes. “We live a stone’s throw from Vegas, I doubt there will be a leather shortage in our future.”

I stood and pulled Jana in my arms. “You sure you want that many kids with an old fucker like me?”

She smiled and jumped into my arms. “I want a whole fucking brood with my handsome husband who can sometimes be a little surly, but I love him anyway.”

How in the hell a guy like me got so lucky that a beautiful, talented woman and loving mother like Jana fell for me and married me, I’d never know. All I knew was, I’d spend the rest of my life being worthy of her. Of our family, however big it grew. “Good because he loves you more than anything.”

“Yeah? Wait until he gets a load of me in that leather dress.” Before I could say anything, her lips were on mine, slow and deep they way she always kissed, like every damn time she wasn’t just showing me how much she loved me, she was telling me too. With every slide of her tongue I swear I fell deeper in love with this woman. With my woman.

“Babe in or out of that dress, more out of than in though, hey!” I laughed when she nipped my ear a bit too hard. “I love you no matter what, that’s all I’m trying to say babe.”
