It doesn’t take us long to get back to the clubhouse and as we pull into the park area, my nerves start to thrum through me. Does everyone know I ran away? They’ll hate me now for thinking I abandoned my children, and my family.
Chains must sense my unnerving as he shuts the bike off and drops the kickstand back down. He then gently helps me off the bike. Soon as he’s standing, Chains pulls me into his arms and holds me to him. “What’s wrong, Bitsy?” he asks, gravely.
“They’re all going to hate me. I abandoned the twins and you. I didn’t think of what everyone else would think when I came back,” I murmur, tears welling in my eyes.
“Bitsy, no one is going to think anything. We had a fight that’s all. It’s done and over with. If someone says anything then we’ll deal with it. Until then try to remain calm, remember you’re pregnant and I don’t want you stressing out,” he states, gliding a hand up my back to slide over my cheek until he’s palming the side of my face.
“Okay.” I nod, deciding its best to listen to him.
“Now, come on, let’s get inside,” he orders, though he doesn’t move us toward the door but rather leans in to press a tender kiss to my lips. “You need your rest tonight ‘cause, I’m spending all night ravishing this body of yours. And I’m doing it without any barriers between us. My cock wants to feel that tight pussy against him.”
Giggling, I wrap my arms around Chains’ neck. With him leaning down like this I’m able to reach to do so. Normally I can only wrap my arms around his waist unless he picks me up and I wind my legs around him. “I love you,” I murmur.
“I love you more, baby,” he says, grinning. He then does the unexpected and swings me up into his arms and carries me bridal style to the club’s main doors and opens them. “Guess what brothers, Tiny’s officially my wife,” he announces into the main room filled with nearly every member of the club.
Cheers of congrats are heard throughout the room.
“This calls for a party,” Brake yells.
“No party,” I groan, leaning my head into Chains’ chest.
“We’ll see,” Chains murmurs to me then turns his attention back to his brothers. “We’ve got church this evening be prepared. I’ve already seen Félix DeLancy in town.”
At the mention of Félix DeLancy, I stiffen and lift my head up off Chains’ shoulder. “Um, I need to tell you what he said to me.”
“Don’t worry, baby, I didn’t forget to ask you about your conversation with him,” he grumbles and continues to walk through the clubhouse carrying me in his arms.
When we get to our room, he unlocks and opens the door without putting me down. Stepping inside he uses his boot to shut the door behind us and climbs in the bed, where he finally releases his hold of me.
Chains sits up on the side of the bed, removes his boots, and slides his cut off his shoulders, placing the material on the nightstand. He then reaches behind his head and strips his shirt from his body. I always love seeing the tattoo covering his back. It’s a magnificent piece of art and I love it. My property tattoo actually is nearly the same but a whole lot smaller with his name situated in the middle of it.
I’m so enthralled with his tattoo that I don’t bother stripping out of my clothes until he turns around and begins doing it for me. “I can do it,” I say, feeling a little nervous by his actions.
“And I can also get you ready for bed, Bitsy. You’ve had a rough night and an excited one this morning. Let me take care of my woman, okay?”
Holy mother.
Wow.
Nodding, I allow Chains to strip me down to my panties. He leaves the bed long enough to grab one of his shirts for me to put on. As the shirt falls over me, covering my exposed body, Chains lifts the covers up over me and slides into bed.
“Alright, baby, tell me what Félix said to you at the diner,” he commands, pulling me into his chest and begins to stroke my back.
Sighing, I snuggle into his warmth and hold on tight. “He said he didn’t hold hard feelings for me killing Deanna. That he and his brothers were not retaliating against the club, though his father wanted to. He also said something about he and his brothers decided it was time for a change.”
Chains’ body stiffens slightly though he doesn’t stop his fingers from trailing up and down my back. After a long pause he relaxes back into the bed. “This evening, I want you and the twins to stay in here. Fèlix is coming to the clubhouse for a meeting and I don’t want him near you again. Not until I know what his game plan is. He might say one thing, but Fèlix is a DeLancy. Deanna was married to his father and though he says he hates her she was still family. I want to make sure nothing happens to you. And with you being pregnant, I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure nothing happens.”
“Okay,” I murmur, trusting in him to keep me safe. He’s always been my protector.
And he always will be.
Chapter Nine
Chains
Without waking Tiny, I slowly slide out from under her. I’d lain here for as long as I could holding her to me. My mind playing over the fact I nearly lost her due to my fuckin’ mouth. I can’t stop thinking about what happened between my sister and brother-in-law when they first got together. How she
