It sailed just barely over the back fence, but it went, and it counted.
Mother fucker, but did it count.
Chapter 19
There’s nothing like taking your bra off when you walk in your door after a long hard day of having boobs.
-Raven’s secret thoughts
Raven
“I had a really great time with you ladies,” I said to the room full of women.
Lenore waved her hand as if to clear away my words.
“We enjoyed getting to spend some time with you again,” Lenore replied as she leaned forward. “But we all have a burning question to ask you.”
I blinked, then tilted my head slightly. “What?”
“Does Wolf really have as naughty a personality as he comes off as having?” Annie asked. “He’s always so dark and standoffish. Like Mig used to be, but way worse.”
I smiled at her.
“Wolf isn’t dark. He just doesn’t talk unless he wants to,” I explained. “Engage him in a conversation, and see what comes of it. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.”
“I don’t think Wolf could disappoint anyone,” Tasha put in. “He gave me a ride once. I felt like I was cheating on my man just by having my arms around him.”
I laughed then.
Yeah, Wolf was beautiful. He was also taken. Very, very taken.
And a tingle of jealousy rolled up my spine at hearing all the stories that were floating around that surrounded my man and his good intentions.
“Do you need any help taking these to the car?” I asked Freya.
Freya shook her head. “No. I have a man for that. Although, I haven’t seen him in a while.”
“That’s because the men are having a powwow on the porch with someone.”
I blinked, surprised by that.
“I thought that they were meeting at the clubhouse,” I said. “That’s what I heard Wolf say to whomever he was speaking to on the phone earlier when they called.”
“Something happened,” Annie said as she licked the rest of the salt off her margarita glass. “I saw them with their heads pressed together. Then some man showed up.”
A burning feeling started to tickle my belly.
“What’d the man look like?” I asked, standing up.
“Tall, dark. Bright white smile and brown eyes. Brown hair. Black clothes. Couldn’t tell much more than that because they disappeared around the side of the house when they saw me snooping,” Tasha grinned unrepentantly.
“You should’ve been more covert about it,” Kitt, Core’s wife, said. “How do you think I know the things I do?”
“Because you fuck the answers out of your man, that’s how,” Tasha said. “My man, however, knows the importance of keeping his trap shut.”
Kitt snorted. “You’re full of shit. Just last week you told me that you heard Wolf enjoyed spanking and tying people up from Core. I know for a fact that Wolf didn’t just offer that information up to anyone and everyone that wanted to know.”
I gritted my teeth at the irrational surge of jealousy that rocketed through me at knowing that these women knew about Wolf’s kinks.
“I also heard that Core told you about Lenore being pregnant,” Kitt said.
I sighed and stood up.
“Be right back. Have to pee,” I told them and darted out of the door of Freya and Ridley’s living room.
I stopped at the bathroom and did my business before sneaking out of the bathroom so they wouldn’t hear me go. Then hurried to the backdoor and slipped outside.
I peered around the corner, and I could tell instantly that my attempt to be quiet had not gone unseen.
Mainly because the moment I poked my head around, Wolf’s big ass body was just there, stopping me.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“I’m trying to see who you’re hiding out here,” I said. “What are you doing here anyway? I thought y’all were going to the clubhouse.”
“We were, but then something came up,” he said.
“What came up?” I asked.
“The water, which somehow managed to untie our boats that are now nowhere to be found. Hence, why we’re here,” he explained with a grin on his face.
I pursed my lips.
“Good enough,” I said. “But what are you hiding?”
“That would be me,” a familiar voice said, whipping my head around to my back so fast that I likely sustained whiplash.
“What are you doing here?” I snarled.
“Now, is that any way to talk to your brother?” he teased.
I bared my teeth at him.
“I don’t have a brother,” I said stubbornly.
Okay, I really did have a brother, but this man wasn’t him.
Not anymore, at least.
He lost the right to that title the day he left me to join the military and didn’t look back.
True, I’d been ten at the time, but it still left a lasting impression on me.
He’d been my rock, my everything, and he’d left me in that shitty assed foster home without a backwards glance.
I didn’t care if he tried to come back years later, which happened to be around the time that Wolf came into my life.
