Bishop"What's with these cars you and Caelin are messing with?" Harley asks as I sit in the office with Jagger, telling her what parts we need ordered for some repairs we're working on.Jagger's eyes cut at me, then at her, and back to me. "Well, that's my cue. Let me know when the two of you are done and I'll finish putting in my order."He runs out like his ass is on fire. "Fucker," I yell after him.I turn to Harley and it's like we're facing off. It's a place I never expected to be with her but, looking back, it was stupid of me to think she wouldn't find out. "Who told you?"She tilts her head to the side. I take a moment to admire her. Her face has become fuller, her eyes brighter, and there's this glow to her skin. It's the one that everyone talks about when women are pregnant. "I mean, you act like I don't know everything that goes on around here. I'm not going to notice the increase in our power bill? I took a look at the cameras because I thought some crackhead was hooking
HarleyReaching down, I smooth my hand over my stomach. It's grown even more the past few weeks and I have my appointment tomorrow that tells me the gender of what we're going to have. Which is why I'm here right now, looking at this room in our apartment that once belonged to Justice. Tomorrow, I'll know how I want to decorate it.I always believed I would be the type of mother who would decorate in neutrals and not care so much about perceived gender colors but, the closer I am to finding out what I carry, I'm wanting to go hard toward either pink and lacy or blue and all boy. It's not a big room. Justice took the smaller one because she's always let me have what I want. To say I'm spoiled is an understatement and she's one of the reasons why. "You okay?" Bishop asks, walking in and eating a bag of chips. "I told you I was home, but you never said anything.""Just thinking." I walk over to him. "When this room was Justice's, I never thought of it being anything other than hers. No
BishopThis is the first appointment I've been to and I'm as out of place here as I am at a fancy dinner. Glancing around, I'm the only guy in the place. It would help if there were at least one more, at least then I wouldn't feel so alone. My dad never taught me how to handle these things and I've never been in this situation before. Kinda wish I had dressed better than I did. My jeans and shirt are grease-stained and my boots have seen better days."You sure you want me to be here?" I lean over, asking her quietly. "Of course I do." She glances over, appearing to be confused. "Why would you think I don't want you to be here?"Looking down at myself, I motion to my jeans and shirt. "Maybe I should've changed my clothes.""No, you are who you are," she whispers. "I don't want you any different than the way you are right now.""A dirty mechanic?""Yes." She turns so that she's looking into my eyes. "You work hard. You provide a good life for us and you're my baby daddy.""It's not alw
Harley"We need to get this done." I sigh, glancing around at the white walls."What you need to do is not be in this small of a room with all these fumes around," Bishop argues. "Which is why Caelin, Tyler, Liam, Drew, and I are going to do whatever you want. They'll be here in a few minutes and then you can order us around like the queen you are.""I've never been a queen.""Negative. You've always been my queen." He reaches down, brushing a strand of hair away from my face.This soft guy is the one that's only mine. He doesn't show himself to everyone. This one is mine only. "Look at you being all sweet before the guys get here.""I'm always sweet," he retorts. "But can I tell you how surprised I am that you chose red and gray for his room? For some reason, I had it in my mind when we heard boy that it would be blue.""Are you new here?" I laugh. "No, I'm not and, looking back at it, I don't know why I thought you would go with that color. I admit gray and red goes well with Heave
Bishop"I'm toast. Who knew painting and putting together furniture took so much out of a person?" I sigh as I sit on the floor in the nursery. Looking around, I'm proud of what me and the guys accomplished today. Being a part of a family like this is all I ever wanted and to know I can call them whenever they're needed still amazes me. With my dad and even my mom (who goes along with whatever he says), it wasn't about helping to help. It was about helping to keep track of what's owed.Heaven Hill and the Walker family have never kept track of what they've done for me. That type of trust means everything to me."You wanna take a shower?" Lee asks as she stands across from me. "I think we could both use one. Maybe you more than me since you wouldn't let me do much.""Massage my shoulders?""If that's what you want." She gives me a shy smile."Oh, that's exactly what I want." I hook my arm over her shoulders as we walk toward the bathroom."Then your wish is my command."Hearing those
HarleySitting on the chair in the kitchen, I open my mouth for Bishop to feed me a spoonful of the ice cream we're eating for dinner. As he slips me another bite of the vanilla cream covered in chocolate syrup, I moan. Everything tastes better the last couple of days, as if my tastebuds are on some type of enhancer.His gaze is on my chest. Following its path, I see my nipples are poking through the tank top I'm wearing. "You need me?" He asks, his voice husky. "I didn't think I did, but I could definitely be encouraged for another round."He pulls me to him before he picks me up, spreading me on the counter before him. "Put your hands on the other side," he whispers. "And hang on. I'll make sure you have a good time."I have no doubt he will. He always does. Before I know what's happening, he's spread my legs and propped my feet on his shoulders. Diving in, his mouth covers my heat and his tongue does things I've only imagined it could do. "Fuck," I groan. "Did you watch porn or
Bishop"You can head out," I tell Caelin as we close up shop. It's going on ten o'clock at night and we've been working to get this batch of cars done for Hawk and the boys. This is mostly for me, for him too, but more for me and the baby. I hate to see him working so late when he's doing it for me."Are you sure? I don't mind staying with you.""I know and I appreciate it. Go home to Justice. I'll be headed home to Harley soon. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here at all hours of the night. Go and enjoy your time with your wife."For a moment, it looks like Caelin is going to argue with me, but then he makes a decision. "Okay, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call. I can be back here in fifteen.""I won't need anything. You're good."He waves at me as he strolls out of the bay. A few more swipes with the rag and this car is ready to get back on the trailer. I'll come in early tomorrow to get it taken care of. Walking around, I start my routine of making sure all the lig
Harley"Is he okay?" I ask as I bust through the doors of the clubhouse. The call I received was one of the scariest of my life. Not knowing how bad he was hurt and, at the same time, knowing there was nothing I could do for him."He's okay," Gramps says as he catches me before I go further into the clubhouse. "Physically and emotionally, he's hurting. He had a fistfight with his dad. No matter how much they don't like each other, that's still a big mindfuck. I, of all people, know that. He's going to need you to be there for him right now, but not ask him a bunch of questions. Can you do that push pop? Can you be what he needs and not demand answers he can't give?"As much as I want to be annoyed at him for asking this of me, I know he's doing it for my own good. "I can, but I need to see him first."He holds me tighter. "Make sure you can, because you don't get to do this twice. He needs you. This isn't about you, it's about him."I want to argue that anything involving him is abou
