CHAPTER 11
BLACKJACK
I wake the next morning with Elyse tucked against my side. It shouldnât feel as good as it does, but this time Iâm the one who is going to steal from the bed.
Carefully, I shift from under her, and once Iâm free, I slip out of the bed. I glance at her. Sheâs still asleep, her eyes rimmed with dark smudges that seem less pronounced than they were last night.
I canât resist leaning over and kissing her bare shoulder. Itâs exposed above the blankets, tantalising. I wish I had time to fuck her again, but I want to get this shit over with and get back to her.
Forcing myself away from her, I dress, pulling my underwear, jeans and tee on before shrugging into my kutte. She doesnât stir the entire time, which Iâm grateful for. I want to leave her sleeping as long as possible.
I go to the sofa so I can pull my boots on. I have to admit, Iâm worried about her. She looks like hell.
Is it the pregnancy or concern about Howard?
As I lace my boots up, my gaze shifts between her and what Iâm doing. Iâve never had to protect someone before. This is new ground for me, but I want to keep her safe.
Her, my kid, and Aaron.
Standing, I grab my keys and wallet off the side where I left them before we laid together after I fucked her, and slip both into my jeans pocket, before straightening my kutte.
I donât care what it takes. Nothing is going to touch her again.
This Howard fucker is going to regret laying a hand on her.
I slip out of the room, careful as I shut the door behind me. As I step into the common room, streamers and balloons are scattered everywhere. Beer bottles and glasses too. The two prospects are cleaning up, bin bags in their hands as they move around the room, clearing each table as they go.
Amongst all the chaos, I find Howler sitting at the bar. He has a mug of coffee in front of him.
He glances up as I sink down next to him. âMara and Trick took Aaron home with them last night.â I already knew that. Trick messaged me late last night before we went to sleep to tell me. âYou sort shit out with your woman?â
My woman.
Fuck.
âAinât claimed her yet,â I tell him.
He side-eyes me. âBrother, you claimed her in front of everyone when you dragged her from the room after Rug spoke to her. You might as well have pissed on her fucking leg.â He smirks, which makes me scowl.
Thatâs not why I went postal on him. âFucker had his hands on her. Heâs lucky I left him breathing.â
âHe wonât make that mistake again,â Howler says. He understands. He would kill anyone if they touched his old lady, and while Elyse isnât officially mine, I donât think there can be any misunderstanding what she is to me.
âThe fuck are you doing up so early anyway?â I ask.
âPia.â
I cock a brow.
