Chapter 16

Iwalked back over to Riker, pulled him close with my fingers through his hair, and slammed my mouth down on his. The brothers had my back, so did my sunshine. Plus, we’d got rid of those who were going to be a problem. If they popped up in the future, we’d take care of them again.

Pride had me breaking the kiss and looking around at my brothers.

All of them supported my choice. Even after throwing the surprise of my new relationship in their faces, they showed that their loyalty was thicker than those other bigoted cunts.

“Thank you, brothers. Know it’s early, but I’m declaring a damn party day. Stock the shelves, bring in the women. It’s time to celebrate livin’.”

More cheering arose.

I’d enjoy all the days I could with the club. Until I handed it over to Spade. Until Riker and I moved with the family and put down roots in a different place.

No matter where we were, though, I’d keep an eye on the club. If they ever needed help, I’d find a way to do it.

They were my family, no matter where I would be in the world.

Riker wiggled against me. “Even though I wanted to gut them, I liked watching you take care of that annoying issue. You were smoking hot. Not that you’re not all the time. You are.” He nodded. “All. The. Time.”

Chuckles sounded around us.

“We get it, Riker. You think the prez is hot,” Spade said.

“All the time,” Monkey added.

More laughter rang out.

At least I knew from Riker’s wide grin, he didn’t want to kill them for their teasing.

It’s gonna be a good day.

Cupping his ass, I lifted him into my arms as I sat so he could straddle my waist. A brother dropped off a couple of drinks for us, but Riker wouldn’t touch his. He didn’t need it to have a good time. He was pure sunshine already. All he needed was a conversation or a smile and he could switch in a blink of an eye. Loved that about him. Loved a fucking lot about the man in my arms.

He turned to Spade as my brother said, “Aww, look at the lovebirds.”

“Don’t be jealous, Spade. You’ll find our kind of love one day.”

“I hope so, kid. I do.”

The doors opened and the women entered. Riker kissed me quick and jumped up.

“Got to go talk to my posse. Drink, get merry, and I’m sure I’ll enjoy the reward from it later.” He winked and skipped off.

“Hell, Prez, I’m definitely seein’ the appeal. He’s sweet to look at, violent, fast, possessive, and kind,” Coms commented.

I huffed. I liked that my brothers were seeing Riker for the deadly and sweet person he was, but still…. “Don’t look too long there, brother, or I’ll have to cut your eyes out.”

Maybe.

It was possible.

If he really pissed me off.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
