Sage…

“Rev, you got a minute?” I asked, wiping the wet off my frozen hands on the seat of my jeans. He stood up from the bundles of busted light strings that were just trash and looked me over.

“Come here,” he said, and he sounded like such a fucking dad.

He already knows.

“Word of advice when it comes to my little girl,” he said, putting an arm over my shoulders. “You have to break her heart for any reason, do me a favor and do it as gently as possible,” he said. “Other than that, wear a fuckin’ raincoat, and I catch you doin’ club sluts or cheating on her? I’ma cut off your johnson.”

I laughed, bowing my head, and shook it. I finally nodded and said, “Noted.”

He sighed and said, “Be honest, I hate that she’s growing up. Fuckin’ hate it, but she’s got a good head on her shoulders and I know you. You were a good kid, and you’re an even better man. I ain’t worried about you two.” He backed off of me and held out his hand, and I clasped it. He pulled me in and pounded me on the back.

“You two make it and get hitched, I’m gonna have to insist you call me ‘Daddy.’”

I lost my shit. So did Trigger, Disney, and Reaver who were standing nearby.

“Way to fuckin’ ruin the moment there, bro,” Trigger said, and we all fell out laughing all over again.

Red-Thirteen came around the corner and asked, “What’s so funny?” which made us all laugh even harder.

“Rev’s Dice’s new daddy,” Reaver crowed, and we all died all over again.

Red-Thirteen took off his hat and scratched his copper-washed strawberry-blond head and shook it. “I don’t get it.”

I think it was a laugh that we all fuckin’ needed.

We got it done, there were enough of us, but still by the time we were done, I was fuckin’ freezing and they weren’t even close to done with the trees inside. I slipped up behind Eden and placed a hand on her hip. She jumped slightly, and I murmured in her ear, “Gonna grab a hot shower and change my clothes,” I said. “Then, I’m gonna steal you to decorate that tree.”

“Okay,” she said, smiling up at me and that smile… fuck, it was the world.

“You okay?” she asked, her smile fading at my expression. I felt the corners of my mouth tip up when she asked.

“Yeah,” I said. “Just freezing my balls off.”

“Well, go get warm!” she said brightly. I smacked a kiss to her temple and breathed her in. Her hair smelled like apples, her perfume some kind of cinnamon. Good enough to eat. Which I would, in good time. There was no rush. I was still trying to get used to the idea of having someone. The fact that everyone else seemed way ahead of me was actually kind of making me more nervous – not less.

I went to my club room, found some fresh clothes and ditched my wet and sweaty ones in my laundry.
