He helped me to my feet. I went to the sink, filled the glass that was conveniently placed on the vanity with water, and rinsed out my mouth. It wasn’t enough. “Do you have a spare toothbrush?”

“Use mine,” he said without hesitation.

I did. I had to get that awful taste out of my mouth. Eagle watched as I scrubbed my teeth, gums, and tongue. I rinsed again. “Better.”

He pulled me against him, and we stared into each other’s eyes. “Jesus, I don’t ever want to be that fucking scared again.” He didn’t need to say why; we both knew. “My brothers are dealing with shit.” He kissed the tip of my nose.

“The sheriff—”

“Accepts that it was self-defense, babe. He’ll want to talk to you later.”

I nodded. “Later is good.” I didn’t want to talk to him just yet. I didn’t feel like going to work. I didn’t want to go home to an empty house. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. That was a lie. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to stay with Eagle.

Forever.

Chapter 37

Eagle

Wolfe, Bear, and I were sitting at a table in the back of The Animal’s Den, hiding in the shadows and watching our old ladies. They knew we were there, but we’d promised them that we wouldn’t interfere with their girls’ night out if they behaved. They were sitting at a table close to the front door, drinking, eating, dancing, and cutting up. Delta and Lola were there too, which explained why Buck and Lynx were sitting at the bar, keeping their eyes on them.

Why those two didn’t claim Delta and Lola puzzled a lot of us, but we didn’t question it. It was no one’s business but theirs, and besides, those of us who had old ladies had our hands full. Especially when the girls got together like they had tonight. Get a few drinks in them, and they cut loose. It was fun to watch, and even more fun when we had to step in and remind them who they belonged to.

All I would have to do was back Leo up against the wall and whisper all the filthy things I was going to do to her when we got home, and the rest of the night she would be mine. I was fucking sure that Wolfe and Bear did something similar with their women to keep them in line. We were possessive as fuck over our women, and we couldn’t keep our hands off them. Not that they complained.

It was amazing how much peace and calm Leo brought into my life, something that I’d needed for a long time. If I had a bad day, all I had to do was walk through the door and see her to bring me out of my bad mood. The best thing I’d ever done was move her in with me right after the shit had gone down with Mandy three months ago. We’d both been shaken over how close we’d come to losing each other and had decided that life was too fucking short to wait for what we both knew we wanted now. In the past I’d had a habit of self-sabotaging potential relationships, until Leo had come along and showed me that all it took was the right woman to break through my walls of self-doubt.

The sound of her laughter made me smile. I glanced over to see her and Delta scooting out of the booth and heading toward the dance floor. I watched them dance together for a minute, fighting the urge to go over there, but once Buck left his stool and headed for Delta, I lost the fight.

“Where you going, Brother?” Wolfe asked.

I snorted. “Where the fuck you think I’m going, Brother?”

We shared a laugh, and then I walked up behind my woman at the same time that Buck wrapped his arm around Delta and pulled her against him. Laughing, Delta turned her head up to see who’d grabbed her. Leo continued to move to the music, and I took a moment to stare down at her little ass as she shook it to the beat. Damn. My dick stirred at the sight. I shot Buck a leering smirk and curled my arm around Leo’s waist, yanking her against me until her backside was flush against the front of me.

I felt her tense, and I put my mouth to her ear. “Just me, darlin’.”

She relaxed almost immediately. “You’re supposed to be over in your corner.” She started to move again, rubbing that little bottom over my hard-on.

I groaned and bit down on the lobe of her ear before sucking the sting away. “How am I supposed to ignore you when you’re over here shaking your ass?”

“Show some restraint,” she laughed, then wound her arms up and around my neck, and all I wanted to do was take her tits in my hands and squeeze. I peered down at the twin swells popping out of her dress.

I transferred my hands to her hips and began to move with her. The only thing that would have made this feel better was if we were naked. My dick throbbed in agreement. “Do I need to take you to the wall?” It wouldn’t have been the first time.

“Do you want to fuck me?”

I’d let my hair grow out, and her fingers played with the tips at the back of my neck.

“Stick that big cock inside me, and fill me up with cum?”

My fucking knees threatened to buckle as the image of doing just that slammed through me. “What have I told you about saying shit like that when we’re in public?” I growled in mock anger. She’d discovered how much her teasing got to me and seemed to take cruel delight in doing it as often as possible.

Carefree laughter escaped her as she kept grinding her ass against me, not caring who might be watching. “I’m being good!” she finally said, just loud enough for me to hear over the music.

I bumped my hips against her. “You’re asking for it.”

There was that soft, cool laughter again. The one that said, “What are you going to do about it?”
