“What?” I ask
He smirks. “You think that’s a good idea?”
“I think it sounds like fun.” I stand my ground and wait for him to pull his phone out like he does every time he’s trying to persuade someone to do something the way he feels his President would want.
“Don’t pay any attention to him, Emmalyn.” Rose touches my arm as she walks back to the counter to finish the chicken salad.
I walk close to him. “It’s not that big of a deal. Why are you acting all big brother? You’re not the big brother. You’re the little brother.”
He grins at me and the dimple on his right cheek pops up making it difficult to scold him due to how adorable he is. “Regardless, little or big, I’m still family, Em. It’s not me you need to worry about.” He nods his head toward the door to the kitchen area.
I turn to look and see Diego standing in the doorway. My heart beats faster, and it has nothing to do with the conversation I was having just a second ago with Kid. This man makes me lose my breath each and every time I see him. His eyes light up when he sees me as well, and that’s how I know that what we have is real. How I ever doubted him, I’ll never understand.
Chapter 40
Kincaid
“What are you ladies in here gossiping about?” Kid laughs, and I see the girls at the table turn toward the center without responding.
The last time I walked into a situation like this, the women were planning a trip to Vegas. That, of course, was long before Emmalyn came along, but I can’t help but get the same vibe right now.
“Just making plans,” Emmalyn says with a shrug of her shoulders as she walks up to me and kisses my cheek. PDAs in front of others really isn’t her thing, and that puts me on even higher alert.
I look over her shoulder at Kid who’s standing against the counter waiting for the truth to come out. He looks thoroughly entertained, and it makes me grin.
“What kind of plans?” I ask softly in her ear and kiss her neck. I love the sigh that slips past her lips and my cock stirs in my pants. I will it to behave because it acts like it hasn’t been near her in days, when just an hour ago we were wrapped around each other in our bed.
Em pulls away from me and takes a step back. A step I notice closer to the table of women who are doing their best not to draw my scrutiny.
“We’re having a girl’s night.” I love how her cheeks begin to flush, and she bites her bottom lip.
“A girl’s night, huh?” I look over at Snapper who has her head down but an eyebrow raised and a smirk on her face. It was her idea to go to Vegas last year. I had no issue with it, but the other guys in the club weren’t too happy about them trolling for other men while they were there.
Snapper told them to take a stand with them or leave them be. None of the men were willing to settle down, and so they went. One of the girls apparently met the man of her dreams and never came back from Vegas. We got a wedding invitation from her a few weeks ago.
“We’re going to go watch strippers,” Rose says like only she can. She’s a “rip the Band-Aid off” kind of woman, and I love her for it.
I tilt my head and give Em an amused look doing my best to keep my lip from twitching. I’m trying to remain stoic, but it gets harder with every second that passes and every shade of red her face turns.
For less than a second she looks scared, and suddenly she straightens her spine and looks me in the eye, and I couldn’t be prouder of my girl than I am at this moment. “When we’re allowed to leave the clubhouse we will be going to Bull’s.” She lowers her voice, “to watch strippers.”
“You have to take Kid,” I say somehow maintaining a serious look on my face.
She smirks and looks around me at Kid.
“Bullshit!” He yells standing to his full height. “Seriously, Kincaid?”
I shrug my shoulders. “Maybe you can pick up some dance moves while you’re there.”
“One time!” He says holding up his pointer finger. “I tried that one time! I was drunk! It would have gone differently if I weren’t drunk.” He drops his shoulders and leaves as I laugh my head off.
I calm myself and look back to Em. “What happened?”
I steel my face. “Club business,” I say and wink at her before leaving the room. I’ll tell her later, but it’s not something I’m going into today.
