“I make you scream everywhere,” I reminded her. “You good with him now?”
“Yeah.” She propped herself up on my chest. “Thanks for letting me handle it.” She rolled her eyes and laughed.
“You got more than I wanted to give. But you handed him his ass—impressive.” I smirked. “You know me, Jericho, Bear and Thorn, we’re the hard cases most of the other bikers fear.”
“And?” She arched an eyebrow.
“You’ve stood toe to toe with all of us.” I swiped her nose. She was badass in a Red kind of way, so sweet right up until she laid you out cold.
“You all should fear me,” she teased. “I’m a badass biker babe.”
She was all smiles, but her words were true. It gave me a new idea.
“We love and fear you in equal measures.” No humor tinged my voice. “You get your own status without me.”
“I’m nothing without you. ’Cause you own my heart.” She kissed me. “I love you.”
“You’re the world, Red. You fit me, belong here.” I was going for it because I needed her now, all tied up and sworn to me. “Probably crazy, should wait, but I want you with me, part of my family here. Will you be my old lady?”
Chapter Thirty-Four: Lila
My world slid sideways. His old lady? Emotion churned in me, all competing to burst free first. I rolled on top of him. “Hell yeah, I’ll be your old lady.”
His blue eyes widened in disbelief then he whooped. “Fuck yeah. You said yes.”
“Of course, I love you.”
He rolled me over until he pinned me under him. “Undress.”
“Can’t with you lying on me.” I pushed against his chest and laughed.
He kneeled and tugged me up beside him. In seconds we were undressed facing each other.
“Gotta ride you.” I leaned forward and bit his bottom lip.
His soft smile turned wicked as he lay back on the bed. “Feeling lazy today.”
I stroked his stiff cock before I rolled on the condom. Then I faced him and sunk down until I rested on his lap. I moved fast, needing him in a different way. He tugged my nipples as I bounced on top of him, racing toward my own orgasm.
“Can’t wait. Come with me.” I gasped, pushing down harder.
“Baby, I’m there.”
We came together.
Breathing hard, he kissed me and smiled. “I love you. You’ll make the best old lady ever.”

The sun shone bright today—the first day of May—and the first day of my new life. Before the sun set, I’d be Dare’s old lady.
Glory turned my wavy curls into ringlets. “It’s a gross name, and I hate the idea of a person being property.”
“I think it’s romantic—a happy ending.” Avery fluffed the short black lace skirt I’d picked to wear today. “She even swears a vow.”
“To the club.” Glory’s flat tone made her opinion clear. She gave my curls a pat before she held up a mirror for me.
I admired her skill with the curling iron because my hair never behaved for me.
“But if you’re happy, then so am I.” She kissed my cheek.
Avery jumped up and down in front of me. “My turn! You have to open my surprise.”
Laughing, I took the present she held out for me.
I ripped off the bright pink paper and opened the box. A red strapless top lay on top of black tissue paper. In a bold gothic print the words Dare’s Property covered most of the front.
I snorted a laugh. “Subtle, I love it.”
“A couple of the ladies at the club told me lots of the women get a special shirt made for the day.” Avery pursed her lips. “Do you really like it? You don’t have to wear it.”
“I love it, really. I’m a badass biker chick now. Besides it’ll look amazing with the property cut and my skirt.” I kissed her cheek and hugged her to me.
“If you want to go all covert, there’s a tear-away tank top under the tissue paper. Or you can wear it for Dare another day.” Avery tilted her head with a sly look. “A private striptease.”
“So why wear the tank?” I hadn’t followed her explanation.
“You keep the Dare’s property hidden until the oath is done, and then you rip off the tank and, voila, you reveal the sexy red number.” Avery giggled.
“Hmm, I’ll think about it.” I frowned, wondering how the tear-away tank worked.
The front door opened, signaling Dare’s return. He’d gone out to grab us lunch.
Both my friends left after promising to see me at the club later. Dare sauntered into the bedroom with a to-go bag. “You’re hot, Red. I—”
