I bent over Gregory, gripping his cut in my fists as I hauled him up off of the floor, bringing his face close to my own. “This is your last warning, Gregory,” I quietly snarled. He nodded. “If I catch you disrespecting my woman again when you think I’m not around, I’ll cover these walls with your blood. You got me?”
He nodded jerkily, knowing from experience not to take my threats lightly. I shoved him away from me, sending him crashing back to the floor again. Drawing in a deep, calming breath, I turned to face Adelaide, finding Sam standing beside her, his hand on her shoulder, ready to move her out of the way had that situation escalated.
I ran my hand down my face tiredly, wiping away the anger that I felt as I did so. I wasn’t Tristan nor Joey. Adelaide would never be faced with my rage when my anger was for someone else. Even if I was furious with her, I wouldn’t raise my voice at her. I would always do my damnest to be reasonable.
“I’m going out to the garage for a little while,” I informed Adelaide. There was no fear in her eyes, just concern for me. And I loved that about her. She was perfect for me, able to stand by my side as I wreaked destruction. “Remember, if you need me, come get me. And if Gregory or anyone else starts any shit with you, let me know,” I ordered.
She reached up with her free hand, rubbing the slight stubble along my jawline. “Grab a beer out of the fridge while you’re on your way out,” she instructed quietly. “You look like you need it.”
I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers, not missing the way she softly sighed against my lips. I moved my head so my lips were at her ear, my stubble rubbing against her cheek. “A beer for now, but later tonight, I want you bent over my bed with those thick thighs spread as I fuck you hard from behind,” I whispered huskily, nipping her ear lobe as she moaned softly at my words.
I stood back up to my full height, smirking at her flushed face. I reached up and rubbed her bottom lip gently, watching as she slightly parted her lips on a soft sigh, those pretty brown eyes practically begging me to fuck her.
Dammit, my cock was hard as fuck for her.
Shaking my head, a slight smirk tilting my lips, I stepped back from her and strode to the kitchen to grab a few beers because after that little moment with her, I was going to need a hell of a lot more than just one.
I stepped out of my room in a fresh pair of jeans and a blue and black flannel shirt rolled up to my elbows, my cut on over it. I found Adelaide at the bar with Reina, teaching the newer girl the ropes of mixing drinks. Adelaide laughed when Reina muttered something, her brown eyes lighting up with amusement.
Fucking perfect.
I stepped up to the bar, drawing Adelaide’s eyes to me. I reached over to wrap my hand around the back of her neck, drawing her lips to mine for a hot, slow kiss.
I was so fucking addicted to her. It was hard as fuck to keep my hands off of her.
When I pulled back, her eyes were slightly glazed over. She blew out a shaky breath as she locked her eyes on mine. “You have got to stop doing that to me, especially when I’m trying to help someone,” she complained, but there was a smile on her lips.
I smirked at her. “What’s the fun in that?” I teased.
She rolled her eyes, but there was a beautiful smile on her face. Her eyes flickered over my shoulder when the clubhouse doors opened. I turned around, watching as Sam let in Joey and Ink.
Adelaide squealed and ran around the bar. I grinned, loving how happy she looked at that moment. I knew she would always love Joey, but as I told her, as long as she continued to live for me, I didn’t care how much she loved him.
She launched herself at Joey, and he caught her, his back slamming against the wall as she locked her arms and legs around him, her shoulders shaking as she began to cry. He released a soft laugh as he locked his arms around her, burying his face in the curve her neck. My smile widened, loving how beautiful she looked when she was properly being loved.
How she should have been loved all along.
Surprisingly, there wasn’t any jealousy in my veins as I watched Joey settle in a chair in a dark corner. He nodded once at me before he focused his attention on the beautiful, crying woman in his arms.
