"I can help with that," I said.
" too," Kennedy agreed.
"Thank you. We’ll really need your input."
Don had co back into the room a while ago, but he hadn’t said a thing. He still didn’t as he hugged tight, kissing the top of my head, doing the sa to Kennedy.
"Remi, you got a second?" Gabe asked, and I nodded, pulling away from rrick.
Gabe slid his arm around my shoulders and led off to the side of the room, out of earshot of the group. He pulled in for a hug and I couldn’t stop myself from glancing at rrick whose body had just locked, as his gaze hyper-focused on Gabe. I pulled away from my friend, but let him keep hold of my hand.
"Who’s the guy, Rem?"
"rrick. I t him a couple of years ago."
"A biker."
"A lawyer."
"He’s a fuckin’ lawyer and a biker?" Gabe asked, his tone one of disgust.
"Yeah." I pulled my hand away and crossed my arms. "And I love him, so how about you stow your attitude?"
"Don’t like that you’re with so biker gang."
"Oh my god, Gabe, I’m not with a biker gang," I snapped. He was acting like a jealous boyfriend and I wanted nothing to do with it. "I can’t believe you’re pulling all this shit in front of your parents, at Michelle’s viewing. It’s totally inappropriate, not to ntion, none of your business."
"Ti to go," rrick said, stepping between and Gabe and taking my hand. He stood facing Gabe, which ant, I was hidden and protected...like always.
"Excuse , I was speaking with Remington."
"And now you’re done," rrick said.
"I beg to differ."
"Don’t give a fuck. You wanna talk to Remington, you call or text and set up a more appropriate ti. But, you’re on notice. If you plan to lay into her like you’re doing right now, you’re not getting anywhere near her."
"You her guard dog?"
"Yeah, you could say that," rrick retorted.
"Gabe, text , okay?" I said, gripping rrick’s arm with my free hand. Our fingers were still linked, and I held on tight, taking his support. "Maybe we can get together after the morial service. Sound good?"
"We’re leaving now," Kennedy announced, glaring at Gabe. She’d never been the biggest fan of Michelle’s brother, but that was probably because she’d hit it and quit it, and broke his heart a little. He hadn’t handled it well, and made her life difficult whenever he could, which made Kennedy rage a little.
rrick wrapped his arm around my waist, gave Gabe a chin lift, then walked and Kennedy out to the lobby where several of the Dogs were waiting...including Mouse.
Kennedy made a beeline for him, falling against him as his arms wrapped around her like a vise. This was interesting...and weird. Kennedy said she only believed in one-night stands. She wasn’t relationship material and refused to be tied down. I was getting the impression her opinion may be changing on that front.
rrick took my hand again, and a few of the bikers gathered around and ford a protective circle as we stepped outside. Once inside the car, I noticed Kennedy didn’t follow.
"Mouse has her," rrick explained. "We’ll head back to the compound and you can get drunk with everyone or we can hang in my room."
"I don’t want to see anyone."
"Okay, baby, we don’t have to see anyone."
"You can hang with your brothers, honey. I’ll be okay."
"If you think I’m leaving you alone, you’re high."
I smiled. "Thanks, Tweety."
He linked his fingers with mine. "You’re welco, Eeyore."
Arriving back at the compound, we parked toward the back of the property, considering the parking areas were packed with bikes and family cars. I really didn’t want to see anyone, but I didn’t need to worry, rrick guided in the back and up a different set of stairs, away from the crowd. I knew Kennedy would be tended to, so I let rrick take to his room and I curled up on the newly made bed, hugging a pillow to my chest.
"I’m gonna go grab food," rrick said, kissing my cheek. "I won’t be long."
"Okay," I whispered.
"Text if you have a craving."
"Pickles and ice cream."
"Okay, baby."
"And wine."
"Got it."
"Burger," I said.
He chuckled. "I’m going, honey. Text if you want more."
I nodded, and he headed out.
I woke to an empty bed. A little discombobulated as to where I was, it took a second to realize I was in only my panties and tucked into rrick’s bed.
I sat up and reached for the lamp on the nightstand, flipping it on and finding a note sitting underneath.
Downstairs, baby. Text if I’m not next to you. Tweety.
I noticed rrick had plugged my phone in and set it next to the note, so I sent him a quick text to let him know I was awake, then headed to the bathroom.
"Rem?" rrick called, apparently having flown up the stairs.
"Bathroom," I called back as I washed my hands.
"You okay?" he asked from the doorway.
"I don’t like waking up and finding you not next to ," I said and dried my hands. "But other than that, I’m good."
He held his arm out and I walked into his hug. "I was saying hi to a couple people. Sorry I wasn’t here."
I smiled up at him and kissed his neck. "I’m just giving you a hard ti. I’m good, honey. Love that you signed the note with Tweety."
"Yeah?"
"Yep."
"You hungry?"
"Starved." I fell asleep before I could eat, so I was now ravenous, and everything sounded good to .
"I brought up a few things, but I can run down and grab you a burger if you want."
I nodded. "That would be amazing."
"Yeah?"
"I’m hungry enough to eat an entire cow, so, yeah."
He kissed gently, then left again. I took a few minutes to pull on one of his T-shirts and pull my hair back in a scrunchy before he returned with a burger and potato salad, along with a carton of ice cream and a bottle of my favorite wine.
"Do you want to go back down to the party?" I asked, then took a bite of the burger.
"Nah, I’m good, baby. I’m all yours."
"You sure you don’t have anyone else you need to catch up with?"
"Pretty sure I’m covered. Why?"
"Because I’m gonna eat, then I’m gonna brush my teeth because I love you, you’re welco, then you’re gonna fuck . Hard." I smiled and forked so potato salad into my mouth as I focused on rrick’s dick. The fact it rose to attention at my promise made eat a little faster and by the ti I’d brushed my teeth and slid out of his T-shirt, rrick had on the bed and was yanking my panties off.
