"You tired?" Dalton asked later that night as they walked the mall. She'd needed to get a couple shirts, and he carried her bag in his hand, his other arm around her waist.

She yawned loudly. "Yeah." She closed her eyes, putting her head on his shoulder for a second. "Sorry I'm no longer the life of the party."

Mandy had never really been the life of the party, but he wasn't one to split hairs. "Let's get you home."

By the time they pulled out of the mall parking lot, she was fast asleep in the passenger seat. Stopping at a red light, Dalton gazed over at her. Her features were soft in slumber, like most people's were. His heart squeezed with the emotions he felt for her. Reaching over, he grazed her cheek with his knuckle. He would do whatever it took to keep her happy; there was no doubt about it now.

Mandy felt heavy and warm. Opening her eyes, she realized she was in her and Dalton's dorm room, but she wasn't sure how she'd gotten there. Dalton sat in the chair oppo

    Mandy looked out at the gorgeous day from her office window. Late summer in Kentucky was usually so hot and humid you couldn't walk outside and breathe at the same time, but they'd had a cold front move in overnight. The sidewalks and roads were still damp, and she could hear the birds singing and smell the fresh cut grass of the courthouse lawn. The breeze from the open window caressed her skin, causing her to close her eyes and think back to the night before.Dalton giving her his patch had meant more to her than she thought it would. It had been something she always wanted, but it was as if she'd never realized the implication. In her life, the patch meant more than the ring, and she couldn't wait to be able to wear that jacket.She breathed deeply; excited about the way things were going and the direction they were moving in. She was the happiest she'd ever been, and she knew most of that had to do with Dalton and his ability to apologize and work with her on things they needed

    "Do we know where they are?" Liam asked as they congregated at the clubhouse. He wore a grim expression on his face, obviously worried for his family. The only one safe from the threat was the son who sat over in the corner, brooding, probably thinking of everything he could do to this asshole to get his mom and sisters back.Steele sat at his computer, running different programs, trying to figure out what in the hell was going on, while trying not to focus on what could be happening to his wife."Tyler!" They all lifted their heads when they heard Meredith's frantic voice. "I've been trying to get in touch with you, but someone cut our lines and messed with our cell phones at CRISIS. The alarm at Doc Jones' office has been going off for more than thirty minutes."Dalton watched as Tyler tightened his jaw, tagged Jagger on the chest, and motioned for the door. Turning to Meredith, he spoke in a calm voice that gave them all chills. "You get the kids and come back here, take one o

    "You okay?" Denise asked her daughter as they sat in what looked to be an empty warehouse. It was dark, damp, and a little chilly—even with the hot, sunny day they'd left in the outside world. She glanced around, seeing Christine, Jessica, and Tatum huddled together too."Scared," she whispered. "What do they want with us?""I don't know," she whispered back. "As far as I knew, this shit was over, but don't worry, the guys will find us. They're good at that. They've rescued a few of us more than once."Mandy hoped like hell her mom was right. She was worried, not only for herself, but for Tatum and her own unborn baby. Crossing her arms over her stomach, she did her best to control her breathing, to stop the shivering of her chin, and the trembling of her whole body. She kept telling herself her dad, her brother, and the love of her life would be there for her. They wouldn't let her stay here too long.The door to the warehouse opened and a man walked in. He had an air about hi

    "That was the weirdest situation I've ever been in, in my life," Mandy admitted as she lay in bed later on that night with Dalton. "He never actually threatened us, wasn't particularly mean or rude, but he went to all that trouble."Dalton tightened his arms around her. "That situation was exactly why I pulled away from you all those months ago. Why I worried myself sick, but I should have known you were stronger than that. I think Tyler was right. What he wanted to do was prove he could. Maybe he has other plans up his sleeve, maybe he's planning on hitting a bigger club in another city. Either way, they let us leave, they didn't hurt y'all, and tonight everybody's safe. That's all I can ask for. Calvert's a wild card. Sometimes things set him off; sometimes he's in it for the shock value. I kind of think he did this so he could say he was in charge. Ya know, he took you all, and then it was up to him to let you go. He chose to do it, which gives him power over Liam. Not directly, b

    The fallout from the girls being taken had affected everyone in the club differently. Liam kept watch over his daughters and wife a lot closer, the guys kept their wives closer, and it looked like Tatum and Remy were spending a few afternoons together a week. Dalton noticed Remy was the picture of a gentleman. Him, though? He'd been thinking more and more about the land he'd intended to purchase. It was still for sale, and he had a meeting scheduled to get approval for it."You leavin' early today?" Liam asked as he came to sit next to Dalton.They were all taking a break from the work at the shop. A huge thunderstorm had rolled in, and the group of them sat in the garages, drinking Cokes and shooting the shit while they waited for the lightening to subside."I am. Thanks for letting me go on such short notice, by the way." Dalton took a drink and wiped his mouth. "I'm going to the bank to see if I can get approval for the land in Barren County and financing for a house."Liam

    "I don't understand why I'm wanted at the clubhouse and why you're forcing me to wear this dress, Tatum," Mandy moaned and groaned a few days later.She'd been busy with Dalton, moving into the new modular home that had already been set up on the property. They hadn't had much stuff between them to move out there, but with her having limited capabilities of movement, setting up house was taking her a while. And today, while she'd been in the middle of it, Tatum had showed up with a dress, telling her to fix herself up nicely and come with her to the clubhouse.Who in the fuck had time for this?"My enormous tits are going to fall out of this dress," she complained as she put on the one good maternity bra she had left, before putting the dress on. The color was gorgeous, a pink that set off the pregnancy glow she still had, along with her dark hair, and dark eyes."Would you stop complaining?" Tatum chastised her. "I'm wearing a dress too if it hasn't escaped your attention. We'

    Dalton knew he'd never held anything more precious in his arms than he did right now. They'd handed his son over to him so he could walk out and greet the family that had gathered. His arms shook because he held them so rigidly, but he was scared to death he was going to drop him."Go straight out those doors and an entire waiting room is there to see you," one of the nurses told him. "I don't think I've ever seen this many people so excited for the birth of a child."It filled his heart to know that his son was already loved by so many people. It gave him hope and made him believe maybe this was the end of the cycle. Perhaps he had broken it by having his child and bringing it into this group of people who would love unconditionally no matter what."There he is." He could hear Drew as soon as he opened the doors and stepped out. He was bombarded.Liam, who'd already met his grandson, stood to the side, letting everyone else get a turn. The questions were frantic as Dalton trie

    Two weeks into their role as new parents, Dalton realized they were getting a new routine. They'd both been peed on, spit up on, cried at, and they'd had lots of sleepless nights. For a while, he was almost sure Walker hated both of them. But tonight, he seemed pretty happy."You think he's getting used to us?" Mandy asked as she had a seat on the couch next to Dalton.Walker lay in his car seat—where he seemed to be the most content—on the coffee table. They were looking at the creation they'd made together, both amazed they'd managed to make it two weeks."I hope so." Dalton yawned, scratching his beard growth. Shaving was one thing gone by the wayside as they figured out their new parent routine. "I'd love to get some sleep." He put an arm around her shoulders.A knock at the door interrupted them. She got up and went to open it, exclaiming with excitement when she saw her mom and dad. "What are you two doing here?" she asked, escorting them in."We came bearing food." Her

    The temperature in the cab of the truck was downright frigid as Remy drove to Tyler's house to drop off Addie first. Tatum refused to meet his gaze and that flat out pissed him off. If she was going to give herself to another man and then have the balls to sit in front of him like this, she should at least have the decency to meet his eyes when he looked at her."Am I going to have to explain to Tyler why I'm dropping you off at one in the fucking morning?" Remy glanced in the review mirror of the truck, looking back to where Addie sat in the extended cab."No," she shook her head, looking about as tired and unhappy as he felt. "He's at the clubhouse. He and Mom had planned to stay and they took Caelin with them."Well, thank God for small favors, because the one person besides Liam he didn't want to face off with tonight, was Tyler."You're lucky I don't call him and tell him where the hell you've been. How could you let her go up there with him?" he questioned her, the irrita

    Tatum's heart beat through her chest as she followed Gavin upstairs to a much quieter part of the house. Her mouth was dry – the result of her nerves, or the alcohol she'd consumed – she wasn't sure which. Her hand gripped Gavin's tightly, but she knew it wasn't because she was excited, it was because she wanted to yank on it, and stop him from leading her into the empty bedroom. Part of her wanted to put a stop to it, the other part wanted to go through with this so she could throw it in Remy's face. Those stubborn traits she'd inherited from her dad were alive and well tonight.She glanced over her shoulder, spotting Addie pulling out her phone and making a call. The worried look on her friend's face told her all she needed to know. Addie was probably calling in reinforcements and her time had suddenly become very limited."You feelin' good?" his deep voice questioned in her ear, causing her hair to stand up and goosebumps to appear on her arms. This time it was different than wh

    Remy was in a piss-poor mood, had been since the night of the Christmas party and everything that had gone down with Tatum. He bit off the head of anyone foolish enough to ask if he was okay. He'd been eating lunch by himself, and overall had been a miserable fucking loner. Even right now, while everyone else was partying their asses off, his big date was being in the gym and beating the ever-loving shit out of a heavy bag. It was the only thing that seemed to calm him the last few days.Hearing his fists connect with the bag felt good, even if it was muted by the gloves he wore. His arms burned, his shoulders and back ached, his chest heaved, and sweat poured down his forehead and into his eyes; making them sting. The sting felt good though, because it distracted him from the guilt he felt for the way he'd treated Tatum. And that guilt was pressing down on him like he was trapped under a thousand-pound boulder.He'd felt every emotion on the spectrum since she'd walked out on him

    Tatum's blue eyes took in the party-goers around her. In different parts of the room, she could see members of her graduating class, some kids that were now seniors, and a few college kids. God, this had never been her thing, she'd never found high school or college parties worth anything to her. She could see everything that went on at them and more, at the club parties. Plus, this was a mob mentality – everyone here went along with everyone else, and it was so boring. Nobody had any individuality. Normally, she'd have tossed the invitation in the trash can and not even thought twice about it. She would have spent the night at the club's New Year's party and have an actual good time with her friends and family.Tonight though, she was on a mission."Do you see anybody?" Addie asked as they surveyed the room.Tatum took a drink from the bottle of Strawberry Boone's Farm she carried in her hand. It was the bottom shelf stuff, guaranteed to get you loaded in the least amount of tim

    Tatum had never felt anything like the all-consuming lust that blasted through her as soon as Remy grabbed her hip and pulled her deep into his body. She'd thought she had but damn, she was wrong. Her fingers grasped at his shirt, trying to ground herself in the feelings, when she felt his bare palms slip up under the hem of her dress. The sharp intake of breath, and the way he nipped at her lip indicated he'd discovered she'd worn a thong."Fuck, Tate," he moaned as he pulled his lips from hers.She almost cried as he abandoned her lips and smeared his mouth down her neck. She felt the sharp nip of his teeth down to the core of her body. It caused her nipples to tighten further against the lace of strapless bra, and before she knew what she was doing, she was rubbing up against him."Please, Rem," she gasped out when she felt one of his hands on her ass venture back over her hip, and closer to the wetness and heat she felt between her thighs."Has anybody touched you?" he grow

    He knew the second she walked in, just like he'd known when she'd entered the bakery. Even seven shots of Pappy in, he could feel her, he knew she was there by the way the hair on the back of his neck stood up, the goosebumps he got on his arms and the way his dick stirred to attention. He wasn't sure what kind of hold Tatum Walker held over him, but it was strong, maybe dangerously so, like some sort of Jedi Mind Trick he'd never be able to resist. And dammit if his hand didn't shake as he took his next shot."Too much for you?" Drew asked as he noticed the slight tremble of the other man's hand.How did he tell the man sitting beside him, he was hard up for his little sister? Easy. He didn't."Nah, I'm good, but I gotta hit the head. Be back."Plan number two when plan number one didn't work? Run and hope she wouldn't follow. As much alcohol as he had consumed, he wasn't sure he could push her away this time. After all, he was only a man and he wasn't immune to the way she lo

    He should have brought a date. Those were the first words Remy thought when he walked through the door of the clubhouse. It hit him like a ton of bricks, and all he wanted to do was turn around and head back to Cash and Harper's. Normally, he lived at the clubhouse, but he'd had dinner at their place tonight. He could relieve the babysitter watching Maddy, and he wouldn't have to worry about keeping his guard up.Couples were paired off, which meant anyone without a plus one would be inevitably thrown together. Looking up, he saw mistletoe was hung randomly around the room. Shit. Since he was the youngest, he seemed to be one of the few without a woman on his arm. Sure as the world turned, he'd find himself thrown toward someone tonight.Gazing around the room, he didn't see Tatum and for that he was extremely thankful. He'd been able to avoid her since the day at Harper's bakery, but it'd hadn't been easy. Not that she'd gone out of her way to be around him but they were in the sa

    Remy told himself to slow down as he grasped her neck, hauling Tatum closer to him. He cautioned his lust-drunk body not to make a fool of itself. He warned his libido not to let this go too far. They were in the middle of the bakery, in the middle of downtown. Anyone could walk through that door from some dumbass off the street, to her brother, to her dad. But he couldn't stop, couldn't force his hand not to trail down her body and grasp her tight ass in his fingers. He wanted desperately to pull her lower half into his, wanted to shove his thigh between her legs and feel the heat he knew would be there. His tongue was forceful as it made its way into her mouth, testing how far she'd let him go.Turned out she'd let him go as far as he wanted to.His brain tried to warn him that this was progressing too quickly. It was getting too out of control, too fast. If he didn't watch it, he'd be picking her up and putting her ass first against the nearest wall. He was losing his mind, losi

    Son of a bitch. Something in the way Tatum's gaze met his made him think he'd said those words loud enough she could hear them. But fuck, she looked amazing. Even more than she usually did. Tatum had been gorgeous for a long time, but with her hair in this new cut, she looked sexy, and almost… sophisticated. But this was Tatum. She'd never fully be a lady, not really. She didn't do dresses unless she had to, she didn't do caked on makeup, and she could hang with the guys – no matter how raunchy it got."Do you like it?" She asked again, this time looking much more unsure than when she'd started out. Very slowly, she ran her fingers through her hair, giving it a tousle.Remy cleared his throat, not sure how honest he wanted to be, but at the same time knowing he couldn't help but be honest. If he lied to her, she would know, and it would do nothing to help the situation they seemed to always find themselves in. The two of them always seemed to be either pushing or pulling at each ot
