“Seriously, dude, you claimed her as your woman, go and get her,” Nash said.
Heat filled his cheeks. “She, erm, she doesn’t know.”
All of the men turned to look at him.
“Okay, let me get this straight. You’ve been dating a woman, and she doesn’t have a clue that you’re actually dating. We’ve been keeping an eye on her shop.”
“It hasn’t ever come up,” Baker said.
“For fuck’s sake, Baker, man up and grow some fucking balls,” Lash said.
Anger hit Baker hard. The men turned to Lash in surprise.
“What? You want me to pussyfoot around him? He’s got a woman out there, and it’s not up to us to make him make a decision. He either wants Millie or he doesn’t. She’s a nice woman, and Angel likes her, okay? If Baker hurts her, it’s going to hurt Angel, and if you hurt Angel because you hurt her friend, I’ll fucking hurt you, do you get me?”
“I get you.”
Turning away, he made his way outside. Stink and Sandy were wrapped around each other, and he just didn’t want to see that shit.
It’s time to move on.
He was once married to the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen, until Millie. Happily married, baking every single day, and now, he was running with The Skulls.
You were always more than a baker.
Pushing the thoughts out of his mind, he rode into town toward Millie’s toy shop. She ran the only toy shop in Fort Wills.
Baker loved being around her. She was so damn sweet, even more so than Angel. Millie was also oblivious to the dangers in the world. Once he was outside her shop, he climbed off his bike and made his way inside. He paused as he took in the sight of her. She was sitting on a stool behind the counter, a pencil running across her lip as she tried to do the crossword puzzle. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail.
Clearing his throat, he waited as she looked up. The moment she saw him, she smiled.
“Baker, I wasn’t expecting you.” She placed the puzzle down, and climbed off her chair, rounding the counter.
She wore a pair of pale blue jeans and a long shirt. None of her curves were on display even though he knew that she possessed them.
“I want you to come to the clubhouse,” he said.
“Why?” She frowned, and Lash’s words ran through his head. He had to have balls, and right now, he wanted Millie at the clubhouse.
“Look, you’re my woman, and I’m not going to pretend that you’re not.” He moved past her, grabbing her bag and keys, shutting down the computer as he talked. “The club is on lockdown, and I want you there.”
“Baker, you’re scaring me. I don’t understand.”
He stepped up close to her, placing her jacket over her shoulders. “You’re mine. You’ll always be mine, and I’m not going to pretend anymore.”
“We’ve had a couple of dates. I don’t understand.”
Grabbing her arms, he pulled her against him, slamming his lips against hers. Sinking his fingers into her hair, he moaned as her sweet scent surrounded him. He’d never known heaven like this, and he never wanted to know anything else.
Suddenly, Millie pushed him hard.
“No, you don’t just get to kiss me and think everything is going to be okay.”
“I claimed you as mine, and that puts you at risk.”
“I’m not going with you.”
Baker sighed, pulling out his cell phone. He dialed the club, and waited. Ink was the first brother to answer.
“I need a car.”
“You took your bike.”
“Yeah, Millie is being difficult.”
Millie rolled her eyes and moved back toward the counter. She grabbed her bag from him, and continued to glare.
“Damn, I’ll be there.”
Closing his cell phone, he stared at Millie. His cock was so damn hard. He didn’t know why, but he had always assumed that she’d be happy to be on his radar when in fact, she couldn’t stand to be near him.
She folded her arms and looked at everything but at him.
“You can’t seriously tell me that you didn’t know this was coming?” he asked.
“I thought you wanted to be my friend.”
“I took you on dates.”
“So? You talked about going out as friends. This, between us, it hasn’t been happening.” She shook her head. “This isn’t fair.”
“Everyone knows I want you but you,” he said.
“You’re still mourning the death of your wife and unborn child, Baker. You don’t want me. You see me as easy.”
“I don’t see me fucking you right now.”
She snorted. The sound was totally unladylike, and he’d never thought he’d hear her make the sound. “What is it? Chubby Millie wouldn’t be able to turn down a chance at a hot guy like you. You just assumed I wanted you.”
Baker growled. “Don’t say shit like that.”
“What? The truth? Come on, you had to admit you didn’t even for a second doubt that I would want you.”
