me the grand tour of the firehouse, guiding me into a small supply room where he pushed me up against the wall and kissed me for all I was worth.
His hand went to my breast before he broke the kiss, dropping his forehead to mine. “Well, now I’m gonna be thinking about you every time I walk in here.”
I smiled up at him. “Sorry, not sorry.”
“I could have sworn I saw him go upstairs,” a female voice mused from outside the door.
“Busted,” he breathed out. “That sounds like Cat.”
Pulling open the door, he peeked outside, then pulled me with him. “Lookin’ for me, little sister?”
Catalina turned and grinned. “Yes. Hi.” She rushed to us, pulling both of us in for a hug.
The firefighter who had been escorting her nodded and headed back downstairs.
“I thought you’d both be here,” she said. “I want to throw a housewarming party but not without you two. So, how’s Friday?”
Catalina had finally found a townhome not far from the club, and with the way she talked it up, I couldn’t wait to see it.
“Good for me,” I said.
“Me too.” Shadow raised an eyebrow. “You could have texted.”
“I was in the neighborhood. I brought cookies.”
“Did you bring those peanut brownie cookies that grandma used to make?” Shadow asked.
“I sure did.”
Shadow took my hand. “Let’s get one before they disappear.”
I chuckled, and we made our way downstairs to the food.
“They’re like an orgasm in your mouth,” Shadow said, handing me one.
“I highly doubt that,” I whispered for his ears only and took a bite. “Oh my god, you’re right.”
He laughed. “Told ya.”
“Thadow!” Sterling yelled, making a run for Shadow.
He scooped him up and grinned. “Hey, buddy. Did you have fun with the hose?”
He nodded.
Doom and Lyric approached. Doom was holding their almost one-year-old daughter, Aria. I smiled. Lyric’s sisters were named Harmony and Melody, and in fact, Melody was currently the biggest pop star in the world, so it was natural the Lyric would want her daughter to have a musical name, and I loved it.
“Thanks for all your help with Jane,” I said to Lyric.
She grinned. “Oh, that was fun. I told Doom I wanted to do a few more defense cases, so I’m going to start looking for some pro bono ones.”
“That’s amazing,” I said. “I’m sure whoever you choose will be grateful for the help.”
“Right, beautiful people, I’m going to go,” Catalina said. “Friday works for everyone, so I’ll text the details tonight.”
“I’ll bring copious amounts of wine,” Lyric promised.
“Perfect,” Catalina said, before hugging us and leaving.
The rest of the afternoon was spent getting to know Shadow’s other ‘brothers,’ and I felt totally welcomed by every one of them.
By the time Shadow took me home, I was exhausted, but since I couldn’t keep my hands off him, I rallied and made him fuck me a couple of times before we slept.
It was a perfect day.

Friday night, the weather had warmed up enough to ride over to Catalina’s housewarming party, and I was excited to drink a little wine and get to know Shadow’s sister more.
We pulled into her driveway and parked next to another Harley and a huge truck. Pulling a case of beer out of one of the saddlebags, Shadow then took my hand and led me inside.
“We’re here,” he bellowed, closing the door behind us.
I shrugged out of my leather jacket and hung it on the hook attached to the bench inside the front door.
“Hi!” Catalina exclaimed, rushing into the foyer, and hugging us both. “Come in. Silas is manning the grill.” She took my hand. “Come and meet Melonie. You’re going to love her. We’re already making plans for girls’ night and you and Jane have to come.”
I grinned. “I’m always up for girls’ night.”
Shadow set the beer in the kitchen as Catalina led me into the living room to meet her bestie.

After dropping the beer in the kitchen, I grabbed a bottle, and walked outside where Doom and Shutter were deep in conversation by the grill.
“Hey.” Doom gave me a chin lift and I smiled.
“Hey, brother. You got news on the warehouse fires yet?” I asked.
We were still trying to figure out why the fire records were hinky, but we kept running into deadends.
Doom shook his head. “Nothing we can do anything about yet.” He sighed. “Rabbit’s still workin’ it from his end, but if there is something hinky, whoever’s doin’ it is smart and has connections enough to keep it hidden.”
“Yeah,” I agreed. “Tried to
