I shake my head, not knowing where the hell he’s going with this. “You’ve lost me,” I tell him.
“You know how all those bikers left the bar last night?” I nod, waiting for him to continue. “They were going after the girl. She’s one of theirs. It’s been years since I’ve seen her, which is why I didn’t recognize her straight away, but she’s like club royalty and pretty close with my stepdad and Tanner. Chief said they all attended the crash to help free her, and then crowded the waiting room, waiting to hear how she was doing.”
“Really?” I ask, a little more interested than I should be. To be quite honest, the whole Black Widows Motorcycle Cub scares the crap out of me. They’re a bunch of really rough dudes who are willing to do just about anything to get what they want. I’ve read up on plenty of romance books all including motorcycle clubs. And as thrilling as it sounds to be one of their girls, I can’t possibly imagine how scary that life would be. I’m so glad Bull never followed his stepdad and brother into that life.
But being someone they see as worth protecting … well, she must be able to get away with murder. She’d be one hell of an interesting chick with all sorts of thrilling and terrifying stories to tell. It’s a shame that she’s been involved in this situation. Though, something tells me that the men of her MC won’t let the person who did this get away with it, even if it was just an accident.
Bull nods before rolling us again and hovering above me. “What are your plans for the day?”
I smile up at him. “Bryce is dropping the girls off around ten, so I have to get home for that, but apart from that, absolutely nothing.”
“So, you don’t mind if I tag along and crash your day? My mom’s been with Ashlee all week, so I was thinking we could grab the girls, pick up Ashlee, and head out for a day at the park and ice cream.”
I smile wide as I raise my head off the pillow and give him the softest kiss. “I couldn’t think of anything better,” I tell him, “But you’ll have to watch out. Ryan is going to be jealous when she realizes that you have another little girl in your life.”
“Trust me, there’s no escaping Ashlee’s charms. Those two are going to love each other so much they’ll both forget who the hell I am.”
I shake my head. “That’s not possible.”
Bull laughs as he pushes up off the bed and drags me along by my ankle. “Come on,” he says with a wicked sparkle hitting his eyes. “Shower time.”
I can’t help but laugh as he drags me right to the edge of the bed before grabbing me and hauling me over his shoulder. “Put me down,” I screech, knowing damn well that he’s about to throw me in the shower, making sure to put the cold water on first.
Bull acts as though not a damn word has come out of my mouth and happily tosses me in the shower, cold water and all, chuckling to himself as he watches me dive out from under the freezing spray.
We get ourselves showered and dressed, and before I know it, we’re making our way back to my place.
I’ve been missing my girls since they were picked up by their father last night, but I can’t deny that despite missing them, I had a really great time. I can’t help but smile over at Bull. His suggestion to take the girls to the park with his niece and have ice cream warms my heart. He’s fallen for my girls just as much as I have, and I absolutely adore that.
The park is Ryan and Coby’s pride and joy. Coby dominates the slide, scaring off the other little kids and refusing to share. Judging by the snide whispering and death glares I always get from the other moms, they must think I'm a pretty shitty parent. Ryan, on the other hand, lives for the swing set. She’s constantly demanding that I push her higher and higher, even though it scares the crap out of me. I have this unrealistic vision that she’s going to go flying right over the top one of these days, and it terrifies me. I wonder what all the bitchy moms would say about me then.
I can just see it now; Bull is going to relish in pushing her higher, and they’ll both giggle like school children as he does. He’ll probably teach Coby how to go down the slide backward, and then both of them will probably spend the afternoon in the emergency room.
No, I should give Bull more credit. He’d never allow the girls to get hurt, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not going to encourage their daredevil personalities.
