Everyone nods their heads, and Prez is the one to speak this time. “We still need to give our shots. Don’t worry, we will make sure she will still bake for us.” Bear chuckles along with him.
I just stand there while they both take a shot by punching me in the stomach. I knew they could have hit me harder than they did, but no one is going to bring it up. I think that they mostly just wanted to follow the tradition of old rules more than anything else. I knew how serious they were by their words alone anyways.
We head back inside shortly after and I lock my eyes onto Sophie right away. She looks me up and down making sure that I’m not moving funny or have any visible injuries. I can’t help but laugh. I think she might have been serious about never baking for us if I was hurt and, when I look at my brothers, I can tell that they were all thinking the same thing too. When she smiles and nods her head, I think we all breathe a sigh of relief. She’s the best fucking baker I have ever known.
I finally sit beside her and pull her into my arms. The fact that she comes willingly, and automatically leans against me, proves how right this is and feels.

I spent a lot of the night trying to figure out how I feel about Trigger, and if my uncle would lose it the second that he found out.
Then a guy named Crash had introduced himself to me and started leaning a little too close for comfort.
I was so thankful that Stacey had come and made it clear that it wasn’t wanted.
I’m glad that I can depend on her to have my back.
When she whispered in my ear that Trigger looked like he was a second from losing it, I glanced over at him and could tell that he really was.
I couldn’t help but hope that this wouldn’t turn out like my last relationship, but I can see that there are a number of people who would back me up if Trigger ever laid a finger on me. By the look on everyone’s face when I had bruises all over, I can tell that they don’t take well to hitting women. I still need to get my mind around the idea because my heart is already wanting to claim this man, but my mind wants to be cautious.
I guess I can only give it time because even I am not foolish enough to not give this a go.
I spend the rest of the night in Trigger’s arms. I can’t exactly explain how right it felt to be there. It was like coming home for the first time.
I worry that these moments aren’t going to last because I have a feeling that Vince isn’t going to let me go so easily.
I can feel it.
Chapter Seven

One month later{
This has been one eye opening month. Things with Colton (as he now tells me to call him) have been wonderful. Other than a few kisses here and there, we haven’t engaged in any other sexual activities.
It’s not that I don’t want to or that I don’t want him, but I think he doesn’t want to pressure me. While that’s sweet and everything, I would just like him to get to the point already.
I have never wanted someone so badly in my life, but I don’t know how to begin to seduce someone. I know that I would be the type to trip and fall or get stuck in my skinny jeans trying to take them off and hit myself in the face. I know that is definitely a possibility because I did that exact thing just last night. When I had come downstairs, and my uncle asked what happened, I had to tell him that I punched myself trying to get out of my jeans. To say that he and Aunt Sasha laughed is an understatement. I don’t think that I will live that down any time soon.
I had to then explain the story to Colton later because I ended up with a little mark and I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole club knew by now.
I have learned not to be embarrass by everyone now because I have had some moments where I wasn’t at my best.
We still haven’t heard from Vince or my mom, but everyone is still on alert because I think that it’s only a matter of time.
I still stay in everyday and haven’t left my uncle’s house. Colton told me that he was looking for a house since he only had a room at the club and an apartment that was perfect for a bachelor, but he wanted something bigger so that there would be room for me. He also wanted somewhere to take me that wasn’t surrounded by brothers. I completely agree with him because there’s something about the idea of having sex with him for the first time while I’m in my uncle’s house that just doesn’t scream ‘let’s get it on.’
I’m waiting for Krista to come over. We have exchanged texts over the last few weeks when my uncle brought me back a new phone and number.
She is one of the women who I have gotten close to over the weeks. I talk to Stacey quite a bit too. That woman always tries to show me that she has my back and I’m thankful for that because, after another not so subtle attempt from Crash, she
