Chapter 6

It took far too long that evening for Bo and Lucky to escape Bo’s big, loving family. No one spoke of Bo’s father. Many of the folks there were Ink’s or part of the motorcycle club Ink and Becky belonged to.

Not the family they were given, but the family they’d made for themselves. Like Lucky had done.

Oddly enough, the tattoo artist’s kids turned out to be a lawyer, a nurse practitioner, and a high school English teacher, with not a single tattoo in sight.

Go figure.

They made it as far as the man cave and got stopped again. It took five minutes of faked yawns to convince Ink and the others they didn’t want a beer. Chicken watched Bo’s every move, but didn’t seem hostile.

Good. Lucky wouldn’t have to hurt him. Ink just had to hug them again. He sure was touchy-feely.

“Want a joint?” Snake asked, reaching into his pocket. All conversation dropped. Arkansas wasn’t in the SNB’s jurisdiction, thank heavens.

“You do know Bo and Lucky are drug agents, right?” Ink drawled.

Snake froze, eyes wide. “I’m not holding, I swear.”

“What’s he talking about?” Bo asked, all fake innocence.

“Beats the hell out of me.” Making arrests at Thanksgiving with bikers might mean they never got invited back, if their bodies didn’t suddenly disappear. A nice way to avoid family, but Bo might not want to avoid them now that he’d begun seeing them again.

While hugging Lucky goodnight, Ink whispered, “Want me to turn the TV down or up?”

So, were they going to sleep or fuck? “Up.” Lucky liked this man.

Ink winked. “Sure thing.”

Lucky cast his gaze around the man cave. “What was this room when Bo lived here?”

“Drew’s. You wouldn’t believe the stories they told on each other about what they heard from the other room, or how many times they bitched about each other’s music.”

Bo had mentioned Drew’s loud music triggering his PTSD. Ink, no actual relation to Bo but through the aunt, had taken Bo and Drew into his home. For all his horrid past, Bo had turned out to be one helluva man. These folks played a part.

“I want to thank you,” Lucky said in a moment of sappiness.

Ink’s brows reached for his non-existent hairline. “What for?”

Lucky hiked a thumb over his shoulder in Bo’s direction. “For stepping in when he needed you. Being there for him. Helping him become who he is.”

The big, bad biker blushed. Actually flushed bright red. “He had some rough moments there, so did Drew.” Ink laughed, a great big, body-shaking belly laugh. “Hell, so did I growing up. And my kids? By the time Bo and Drew came here there wasn’t too much they hadn’t done, though they’d moved out by then. But me and Fox tried to be there for all of them. Sometimes I wonder if one day she’s gonna regret not having kids of her own.”

Lucky glanced toward Bo and back to the mountain of a man. “She does have kids of her own.”

“You coming?” Bo called from the next door.
