Both our laughing dies out to a stop and a few of the boys chuckle from their positions. Beast wasn’t one of them laughing, and neither was Hella.
Beast stalking to us, shoulders pressed back and his jaw set in a straight line. Before he reaches me, I swing my leg off and roll my eyes with the girl following behind him. “Relax, Beast. No-one got hurt.”
Wrapping his hands around my arms, he pulls me into him so I come crashing into his rock hard chest. “You could have, though. Fuck.” He runs his hands over his head before dropping them down to his sides. “That shit was hot, but don’t ever do it again.”
“Can’t promise that.” I smile, peering up at him.
His hard face softens as he brings his lips down to mine, running them over and sucking my bottom lip into his mouth. “Don’t.”
I laugh, lost in his eyes when a cough interrupts my thinking. Beast steps aside, wrapping his hand into mine where I sink into him naturally.
“Hey, I’m Jada,” she greets, placing her hand out to me.
I look between her and Beast before pulling my hand out of his hand and take hers with it. “Hi, Meadow. Jada as in who got out with you?” I ask, looking up to Beast.
He nods his head. “Yeah, she’s going to keep you girls company today for a couple hours while we go and sort some stuff out. That okay?”
I nod my head. “Of course. You don’t have to worry, we’ll be fine.” I know he has a lot on his plate right now, and the last thing I want to do is be a hurdle that he constantly needs to jump just to get through his day. He runs a club, a very, very big one. He’s not just President of The Devil’s Own, Nevada, but he’s National President of the entire Devil’s Own MC—and there’re a lot of chapters. I’m secure enough with what we have here to not be a pain in his ass, even though I want to.
Pulling me into him again, he runs his mouth along the rim of my ear, his warm breath gliding across my lobe sending shivers across my skin. “When I get back, we can continue your training.”
My eyes snap open and I pull back from him, a huge grin set on my lips. “What kind?”
His eyes narrow. “Not that kind! Jesus, what have I created…” he murmurs and the girls crack up laughing in the background. My cheeks redden and I tuck my hair behind my ear.
“Your archery, baby. I want to train you on a few other things, too. Basic MMA, we’ll see how you go.”
My heart warms, my skin tingles, and my smile stretches wider. “Really!” I answer excitedly.
“Really, really. I won’t be long.” He pushes one final kiss on my head before walking off with the rest of the boys, who all turn around to smirk at me before getting on their bikes.
Once they have all left, I turn my attention back to Jada and Melissa who’s made her way beside her and they’re both staring at me in awe.
“What?” I ask, wrapping my arm around my waist, suddenly feeling empty without Beast here. I can’t do that, the depend-on-a-man thing. I have lasted this long without a man on my arm, I’ll be damned if I start now.
Jada shakes her head in shock. “He loves you.”
I tilt my head and scoff. “I wouldn’t go that far. And if he did, I’d prefer to hear it from him first.”
She nods her head. “I understand, but he does. He’s never batted an eye at any woman before. Sure, he sleeps with a few and has his regulars, but never ever like he was just then with you,” she states.
Swallowing down, I point to the barn. “I need a drink.” They both nod their heads and follow me into the bar where we make our way straight to the alcohol, ignoring the other four guys that are still here sitting around by the pool table.
After telling the old fella what I needed—vodka on ice—and just one because I’ll need my wits about me when Beast returns for my training, I sigh, slouching into the seat. Jada takes a seat beside me on one side and Melissa on the other.
“You wanted to meet us?” I ask Jada, sipping on the ice cold vodka.
She nods her head. “Yeah, at first, I planned on giving you the hard word and all that. And although you seem like such a sweet person, I’m almost one hundred percent sure you have some fire in there, and also, I see what you and Beast have. No need for my bust your nut talk.”
I smile, taking another sip. “Thank you.”
She tilts her head, scanning over me and I take this moment to take in her appearance. She’s beautiful in a bad girl kind of way. She has tattoos all over her body, one whole sleeve, and a tiny diamond that sits under her eye. I guess on anyone else, it would look ridiculous. But with her long inky black hair and piercing blue eyes and her soft feminine features, she pulls it off and she pulls it off well.
