“I don’t get him,” she said, hugging Daisy. “You okay?”
“I should be asking you if you’re okay. I don’t know what their game is.”
“Luke wants to fuck with Simon. He likes you,” Anthony said. “Be careful there. Ryan’s unhinged.”
“And you’re sane.”
“I’m not pissed at my leader’s infatuation. Ryan is.” Anthony turned toward her.
“I don’t encourage any of that shit! We were here first.” Her anger built.
Anthony held his hand up. “I didn’t say you did. What I’m saying is what I’m seeing. I’m making you aware. That’s all.”
“Did you follow us?” Daisy asked.
“You don’t go anywhere where I can’t guarantee your protection,” he said.
“What does that mean?” she asked.
“It means I will always be there if you need me.”
Okay, she was starting to feel like she’d invaded a private moment. “I think it’s time we headed back.”
Daisy kept staring at Anthony.
Tabitha tugged her arm.
“Right, heading back. Yes. Let’s head back.”
“Is Simon free yet?” Tabitha asked.
“They’re negotiating his party,” Anthony said. “Chaos Bleeds are coming to town.”
“Oh, joy,” Daisy said. “When they come to town, there’s always a chance they could argue. I hate it.”
“They’ve been on good terms for a long time,” Tabitha said. “Don’t worry about it.”
“I can’t help it. It feels like something big is going to happen and that scares me. Doesn’t it scare you?” Daisy asked wrapping her arms around herself.
“I’m starting to believe you’re a little paranoid.”
“Again, I don’t know why that’s a problem. I get this horrible feeling something bad is going to happen and each time I do, something does,” Daisy said. “You should heed my warning. I don’t make them every single day.”
“Have I told you lately how much I love you?” Tabitha asked.
“Don’t mock me.”

Eighteen.
He was at that age he could get married without his parents’ consent.
He just needed to wait until Tabby was of age and then she’d belong to him. Glancing down at the woman in question, he smiled. Her head rested on his chest. Her hair fanned out. She was so beautiful. He glanced at the clock and saw it was a little after six. His parents had already arrived yesterday, as had the club.
Running a hand down his face, he didn’t want to move. Tiny and Eva hadn’t given any sign of movement yet. He’d have no choice but to sneak out and pretend to be there for breakfast. He didn’t know if they’d fooled her parents yet, or if they were very much aware of his presence at night.
Tabitha let out a moan and stretched.
“Morning, beautiful,” he said.
“Happy Birthday.”
“Ah, so you remembered my birthday?” he asked.
“Of course, I remembered.” She sat up, stretching, pushing her hair off her face. “I even got you a present.” She leaned over him and he got a good look at her shapely ass. Seconds later, she sat back and held out a slim box for him. She pushed some hair out of her face and smiled. “Open it.”
“Open it?”
“Please, it’s your present. You’re going to have so many later. You’re eighteen. Legally an adult.” She ran a hand down her face. “Open it.”
He reached out, grabbed her neck, and pulled her close.
“I have morning breath,” she said.
“I don’t care.” He kissed her hard. She wrapped her arms around his neck, moaning, and he swallowed it. Still holding the present, he didn’t let go of her.
She pulled away breathless. “Open it.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll open it.” He wanted to keep on kissing her.
He untied the ribbon and slid the box open. Inside was a locket.
“I got it ’specially designed. There’s a jeweler who was willing to put your Chaos Bleeds symbol on the front. You can put any picture inside you want. I had to make sure you had one of me.”
He opened the locket and inside was his woman.
“You can change it of course.”
“I wouldn’t change it.” The chain was big enough it slid over his neck. “I love it.”
Wrapping his arm around her, he tackled her to the bed, capturing her hands. He locked them above her head and kissed her. As he slid between her thighs, his cock hardened and he pressed against her core.
She got one of her hands free and it ran down his body, cupping his dick.
As much as he wanted to let her continue, he captured her wrist and shook his head.
“You don’t want to?”
“No.”
Tabby frowned. “Why not?”
He leaned back, putting some space between them. Holding the hand that had been on his cock, he released a breath.
