Hawk (Reckless Kings MC #2) - Harley Wylde Page 0,45

Hayley. You and Freya are my priority. I’m not letting anything happen to my girls, okay?”

She gave me a smile, then leaned forward to kiss me. I threaded my fingers into her hair, holding her close as her lips lingered on mine. As much as I wanted to continue, the parking lot wasn’t the place for it.

I pulled away and shut her door. Before I got into the truck, I let Nitro and Wrangler know exactly where I was heading next. When I pulled out of the parking lot, they were right behind me. I reached over and placed my hand on Hayley’s thigh. I could feel the tension in her body and wished she didn’t have a reason to worry. As soon as we found out who’d targeted her, I’d make sure the asshole paid.

The baby store wasn’t as much fun as I’d hoped. While I did pick out a few things for Freya and encouraged Hayley to get more clothes for our daughter, I could tell Hayley was too worried to enjoy the shopping trip.

“Baby, nothing is going to happen to you, okay? Let’s get whatever you think Freya needs, or some toys she’d enjoy. Let me spoil the two of you a little.”

I got a faint smile and nod before she threw her arms around me. I hugged her to me and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

“I’m sorry, Hawk. You’re right. This should be fun, and we’re getting to spend time together without our daughter crying non-stop.”

“Get a package of diapers for her and more formula, then we’ll get the fun stuff.”

I paid attention when she placed the necessities in the basket so I’d know what to get next time. While Hayley added frilly dresses to the basket, I tossed in tiny shirts and leggings. My daughter might be cute as hell, but I didn’t know what the fuck to do with a girly-girl. I’d teach her how to change the oil in her car, fix a flat tire, and how to ride a Harley. I’d leave the other stuff to her mom.

I picked up a toy that lit up and played music, showing it to Hayley.

“Hawk, it says it for six months and up. Our daughter isn’t old enough for that one yet.”

“But we can put it aside for when she’s older, right? The months will fly by. Better to be prepared.”

She rolled her eyes at me, something I noticed she did frequently. Good thing I found it endearing. “Fine. Go wild! Buy whatever you want.”

I grinned. “You’re learning.”

I swatted her ass when I walked past her, making her squeak in surprise. If I’d known how much I’d like having an old lady, I might have gone looking for one sooner. Then again, it wouldn’t have been Hayley, and I was starting to think we were meant for each other. Why else would she have gotten pregnant our one and only night together?

By the time we checked out, we’d filled two carts and even Nitro and Wrangler had tossed in some items. Yeah, my little princess was going to be spoiled. And I’d spoil her mother too. I’d touched Hayley every chance I had. Innocent touches, but they were enough to heat my blood. A slide of my fingers against her waist as I leaned past her to grab something off a shelf. The brush of my hand against hers. I hoped no one noticed I was sporting wood in the baby store. Definitely not the time or place. Although, the way her cheeks pinked told me she was just as affected.

I loaded everything into the back seat, except the larger things like the baby swing. I put that in the bed. Nitro said he’d help unload everything when we got to my house. Once we had Freya home, and got her new things put away, I’d sit Hayley down and tell her what was going on, even though I still didn’t know a damn thing other than she seemed to be in trouble again.

The last thing I expected was to see Chief Daniels leaning against his truck at the gate to the compound when I got there. To anyone passing by, he would seem relaxed. He’d folded his arms and crossed his booted feet, almost looking bored. I knew the moment Hayley spotted him. She let out a gasp and gripped my hand tight.

“I didn’t think he even knew I left,” she said.

“Wait. What the fuck, Hayley? You didn’t tell your
