King(10)

Round One went to Shade, but at least Lily hadn’t caved in to his demand without question.

Lily turned back to Lucky expectantly. “Are you staying for dinner?”

“Actually, dinner and breakfast. I’m moving in.”

“That’s great. I was worried you would move away, and I wouldn’t see you anymore.”

“I think you’re going to be seeing a lot more of Lucky than you ever expected to see.” Evie couldn’t help herself. Shade and Lucky’s hard stare didn’t faze her, either. She was looking forward to seeing how they were going to handle Lily.

“Let’s go home, Lily,” Shade said, taking Lily’s arm and moving her toward the pathway to their new home he had built behind the clubhouse.

“Spoil sport.” Evie called after them.

“You're feeling brave today.” Lucky slid a box out of the truck, handing it to her then took another for himself.

“Not necessarily. Lily was here. You can get away with all kinds of shit when she’s around.”

“I see you’re taking advantage of the situation.”

“Fuck, yes. Of course, he pays us back later, but it’s worth it.”

“I’ll take your word for it. He might give you an extra shift or dock your pay; however, he’ll just beat the shit out of me when she leaves.”

“Don’t be a pussy.”

“I’ll try.”

They carried the boxes up the steps to the clubhouse as Viper and Razer were both coming down.

“We put you in Knox’s old room. That cool?”

“That’s perfect. He had the biggest bed,” Lucky said, going up the steps.

Razer took the box from Evie, following him up the steps.

“I take it he’s going to make up for lost time?” Viper said.

“I bet he hasn’t even had a blowjob in the last five years. What do you think?” Evie asked flippantly.

Viper laughed. “I better warn the women.”

“Too late.” Jewell’s seductive voice could be heard coming from the upstairs.

Evie went into the kitchen where Bliss and Stori were finishing cooking dinner and most of the members were already in line. Evie took a plate.

“Lucky is upstairs,” she said casually. When Bliss, Stori and Ember put their plates down, leaving the room at once, Evie got in the shortened line. Winter shook her head at her.

“You’re not joining them?” Train asked, surprised.

“No. I’m going to let them have Lucky while I reap the benefits of the rest of the men.” Evie began filling her plate.

“Just save some for me.”

Evie knew he wasn’t talking about the food. “Don’t I always?”





Chapter 5




It took several attempts before she managed to shove a snoring Train off her. Sliding out from between him and Cash, she managed to get out of the bed. Evie stretched languidly, staring at the two male bodies sprawled on the bed, tempted to climb back in. Regretfully, she went to the bedroom door, going to her own room to get ready for work.

Dressing in a sweatshirt and jeans, she drew on her fur-lined boots. She would be glad when the last of winter was done. She hated cold weather, and Kentucky winters seemed to drag on forever.

Once she got to work, the factory was busy, so there wasn’t much time to talk. It was almost the end of the day before Evie remembered tonight was the night she was supposed to have dinner at King’s house.

After work, she went to her room. Looking through her closet, she studied her clothes, trying to decide what to wear. Evie was certain Lily and Beth would both wear dresses, yet she hated wearing dresses and dressing up. However, she did have several church dresses she could pick from.

Pulling out a black dress shorter than her church dresses, she showered before changing into it. The deep V showed a small amount of her breasts, but it wasn’t over the top. Evie brushed her hair, pinning it on top of her head, and then stepped back to stare at her reflection.

Her hand grasped the dresser. It had been several years since she had seen the reflection staring back at her, and the elegant woman she glimpsed had not been missed. The painful memories her image brought had Evie taking down her hair, brushing it out and leaving it loose.

Going back to her closet, she took out a dark navy dress that wasn’t as formal and was fitted on her body. Shade had texted her that he and Lily were ready to leave, so she slid on a pair of heels and headed downstairs, meeting them by the front door.

“You look pretty tonight, Evie,” Lily complimented her.

“Thanks, Lily. You look gorgeous.” She was wearing a dark purple dress that highlighted her violet eyes.

“You ready?” Shade asked.
