Maverick

I wasn’t in the mood to search for another hotel room, so I was relieved when Bishop gave me the okay to stay at the club tonight. He was already expecting me, but wasn’t aware that Henley had come along. After asking a hundred damn questions, he finally agreed to let us both stay. I didn’t blame him for being concerned. Bishop’s the president of the club, and he’d worked hard to protect his brothers and their families. Having Henley with me made him apprehensive, but I assured him we’d be gone as soon as I signed the adoption papers.

When I opened the door for Henley, I was surprised to see Courtney and Bobby sitting at the bar. I put my arm around Henley’s waist, nudging her forward. I hadn’t really had time to prepare her for Court, but I had a feeling she could hold her own.

“Well, if it isn’t Mr. Serious himself,” Courtney called out as we walked over to them. “It’s good to see you, stranger. Lily told us you were coming in tonight, but she didn’t say you were bringing your girlfriend.”

“It’s good to see you, Courtney. Been awhile. Have you been keeping yourself out of trouble?” I said, laughing.

“Always!” she replied, trying to sound defensive. She motioned her head over in my direction and said, “He’s a great guy. You know, once you get past all that broody moody stuff.” She extended her hand out to Henley and said, “I’m Courtney, and this is my fiancé, Bobby.”

Henley looked over to me, waiting for me to correct Courtney’s girlfriend comment from earlier, and when I didn’t, she said, “I’m Henley. It’s nice to meet you both, and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who calls him out on his grim disposition.”

“Tell me about it. It takes an act of Congress just to get the man to smile,” Courtney laughed.

“Well, some things never change. Crack Nut, get your woman to behave,” I teased. “Mind if I grab a beer?”

“Brother, it looks like you could use more than one. Grab us both a couple,” he said, smiling.

I reached into the cooler, grabbing us each a beer, and then sat down next to Bobby. “Bishop still around?”

“He had to go check on Tessa. She’s had some trouble with the pregnancy, and they put her on bed rest for a couple of weeks. But before he left, he said for y’all to take one of the empty rooms. There’s one down the hall. Second door on your right.”

“Appreciate it,” I told him, before Courtney started rambling on. She talked nonstop about school, the wedding, and me. She hadn’t changed a bit since the last time I was here. When I had to lay low, the Devil Chaser’s opened their doors to me, on the condition that I helped them out with Courtney. They’d had some trouble with a rival MC gang that was trying to come into their territory, and they’d needed me to keep an eye on her.
