between them, and pull Shay into my lap. Her body is ridged at first, so I place my lips against her neck. “It’ll be fine, baby.”
After a second or two, her body relaxes into mine. Then, she snuggles in closely and wraps her arm around my side. I can tell she’s nervous, and it makes me happy as hell that she’s allowing me to protect her. I place another kiss on her neck, rewarding her for her trust, before lifting my eyes to Tin. “Brother.”
“What’s up?” He asks, just as he lights up a cigarette.
Rollo lets out a laugh. “Judging by the hot piece on his lap, I could probably tell you what’s up.”
I cut my eyes to him. “Don’t.”
He throws his hands up in the air and laughs even harder. “I was just fuckin’ with you, man.”
“Not about her,” I say, rubbing my thumb along her ribs. “She’s not a club whore.”
Rollo looks at Shay then back to me. “I can tell that.”
Tin butts in, getting us back on topic. “What’s going on?”
“I need you to take a ride with me.” I answer, giving him no further information. I’ll tell him more later. For now, I don’t want to talk about this shit in a clubhouse full of our father’s lackeys.
“If the riding has anything to do with woman sitting in your lap, I’m in.” He shoots Shay a wink then looks back to me. “Especially, if she’s the one doing the riding.”
I look down at Shay, trying to judge her reaction. She’s smiling, fuckin’ smiling. “The only riding she’ll be doing is on my bike.”
He ignores me and looks right at her. “Come on, Shay. You know you want me to take you for a ride.”
She shakes her head, but never loses her smile. “Nope, Bowie already told me to stay away from you. You’ll have to wait ‘til he’s not around and ask me again.”
My arms tighten around her, letting her know I don’t like the game she’s playing. Then, I realize that it’s the first time I have seen her smile since she heard about her mom. A real fuckin’ smile and I love it. Just like me, my woman lets her worries go as soon as she gets on the back of a bike.
Tin-Man throws his head back and laughs. “You are going to cause all kinds of trouble for my hermano , aren’t you?”
“She sure in the hell is.” Rollo adds.
Her body tightens again, and she loses her smile. Finally she whispers out, “More than you know.”
Tin’s eyes narrow on her, but she ignores him and looks up to me. “When are we leaving? I really want to see Mom as soon as possible.”
Just by the tone of her voice, I know all her worries are back. I wish I could take them away, but I can’t. I can get our asses on the road though. “Just a minute, I gotta grab my shit.”
I raise my eyes to Tin-Man. “We’ll be gone for a few days.”
“Do you need me riding back-up?” Rollo asks.
“Nah, man, we got it handled.”
He nods, before standing up. “I’m gonna head out then. If you need me, just call.”
“Thank you, brother.” I say before he walks away then looks back to Tin. “You ready?”
He doesn’t ask any questions, just nods his head. “My saddle bags are still packed from my last ride.”
I lift Shay from my lap and stand up. “Give me five and meet us outside.”
He cuts his eyes to the hall then back at me. “Leave Shay with me. I’ll walk her to the bikes.”
I’m about to say no, when I see Domino leaning against the doorway to the hall. She looks at Shay then brings her eyes to me. The smirk on her face says she’s about to cause trouble, and I don’t want my woman having any part of that. She takes a step forward, and I shake my head. Luckily, the bitch stops in her tracks.
Finally, I look down at Tin-Man. “Take her out. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
I lean down and place a kiss on the top of Shay’s head then motion for her to go to Tin. As soon as she is safely by his side, I make my way
