at
her, she made sure to make herself busy. Checking the time she started to fire
up the coals for the barbeque. Within the next half an hour, Gash would be
arriving, and she didn’t want to have him waiting around for food.
“Hey,” Lexie said, approaching her.
“Hey. Is everything okay?” Eva asked.
Don’t give anything away.
“Club stuff. Devil’s always worrying about something.”
Glancing up, she saw Devil talking on the phone. She
didn’t like the way the two clubs were going. Between Alex and Devil’s
suspicions they could tear apart the bond the Chaos Bleeds crew and The Skulls
had formed in the last few years. She liked the crew, but The Skulls would
always be her home.
“Are you sure everything is okay?” Eva asked.
“Yeah, Devil’s missing home. He wants Gonzalez taken care
of as much as you do.”
Something wasn’t right, but Eva didn’t have a clue
what to do about it. Her gut was telling her that Devil was going to cut away
from them and get this done on his own.
Running fingers through her hair, she went to talk
about her fears with Lexie. Before she got a single word out, the commotion of
the men returning cut off all conversation.
“We’re back, and we’ve brought him home,” Nash said, yelling for all to hear.
Pushing the troubled thoughts to the back of her mind,
she entered the clubhouse to greet their new arrival.

Tiny laughed as Gash lifted Tabitha up easily.
Considering the guy had been in jail for the last five years he was looking
good. It had been too long since he saw the other man. The anger wasn’t present
in his eyes as he swung Tabitha in the air. Miles was next in line. The
children were flocking toward him as if he was some kind of light and they were
moths.
“Fuck me, I turn my back a moment and you’re all
breeding like rabbits,” Gash said.
“This is my woman.” Tiny tugged Eva to his side.
“Finally, you decided to lay claim to her. I thought I
was going to die before you laid claim to this peach.” Gash pulled Eva into a
hug. “Lovely to see you again, darlin ’.”
Eva chuckled. “You’re a charmer like always.” She took
Tabitha out of his arms. Miles was next, and Tiny moved away while Lash
introduced Angel to Gash.
“Well, I never thought I’d see the day I’d have an
angel in my midst. Hey, baby, this bastard treating you well?”
“He’s treating me how he knows best.” Angel shook
Gash’s hand. Tiny tensed as Gash pulled her in for a hug and kissed her on the
lips. Lash tensed, but Angel pulled back, looking startled.
“Keep your hands and lips to yourself, Gash. I don’t
want to beat the shit out of you before you get settled back at home,” Lash
said, pulling his woman to his side.
“Sorry, I’ve got to get as much action in as
possible.”
Tiny stared at Angel. There was a time when she’d be
terrified of such attention whereas now she looked more taken aback than
scared. Her hands were steady as she tucked some of her blonde hair behind her
ear. He’d never seen her look so calm and relaxed.
What had happened to the scared woman who only felt
safe around Lash?
“What’re you thinking about?” Eva asked, pulling him
out of his thoughts.
“Nothing.”
“You can’t lie to me. You’re thinking something while
you’re staring at Angel.”
He kissed the top of her head. “You never miss a
thing. I was wondering when Angel changed.”
“What do you mean?”
“There was a time she’d be crying or shaking at Gash’s
attention. She’s taken it all in her stride and is even laughing about it. What
did I miss?”
Eva tapped his chest. “She’s been through a lot of
crap to get where she is. Be happy that she’s gotten this far without breaking
down again.”
A few years back Angel was attacked and she’d been
pregnant but had lost the baby, sending Angel into a mental breakdown. Since
then, Lash had been very protective of his woman, to the point of over-protective.
“It just opens up
