“Don’t encourage her, Tate,” Tiny said.
Tate chuckled, taking a seat at the table. Her rounded stomach was starting to show. She’d almost lost her child after an attack from Gonzalez. Fortunately, Tate hadn’t died, and neither had her unborn child.
“Get your own cereal,” Prue said.
Angel looked at her. “Don’t mind those two. They’re always bickering.”
Lacey felt like she was suffering from whiplash with the way the two women were talking. Eva and Tiny were talking, and Miles kept eating his food while glancing at his sister. Tabitha was dancing on the spot, not doing as she was asked. There was so much going on.
“Fine. You can go, but make sure Devil knows about it as well. I’m not going to be dealing with his shit because of you two.”
“Lexie has already got Devil’s agreement. We’re going to meet up at Paradise Rocks.”
“That’s fucking hours away,” Tiny said, spitting his coffee back into the cup.
“Yeah, but it meets at the middle. I’m not having Lexie come here and risk Devil kicking your ass. I’m not going to Piston County and have you follow me to kick his ass. Paradise Rocks is neutral territory. It’s not owned by The Skulls or Chaos Bleeds. It’s like Switzerland,” Eva said.
Tiny looked like he wanted to say something else. He looked around the room, and his gaze settled on Lacey. “Does Whizz know you’re out?”
She nodded. This man was scary as fuck. She didn’t want his anger directed at her, not one bit.
“Don’t you have a voice?”
“Dad, stop scaring her. Prue looks like she wants to shoot your ass, and I heard she’s pretty mean with a gun,” Tate said.
“Shut up.” Prue glared at the other woman before turning to the president of The Skulls. “Whizz knows she’s out. She’s not a fucking dog. I’m taking her out with Angel.”
“Lash know about this?”
Lacey wanted to die. They were treating her like she was something evil that needed to muzzled or something. Not that she could blame them. None of them knew her, not really. They only knew she had been part of a club that had killed several townsfolk. Eating her toast, she stayed quiet while the others started to talk.
“He knows, and he’s fine with me going with them,” Angel said, cleaning Anthony up.
“Really?”
Angel looked at Tiny. Her face was bright red. “Really. Lacey is not going to hurt me. You’re being rude in treating her like you are.” She stood, turning her back to Tiny. Lacey saw her hands were shaking.
“Dad, enough already. You keep questioning Angel then Lash is going to kick your ass.” Tate took a spoonful of her cereal and smiled at him. “Besides, Tabitha’s more likely to hurt Angel than Lacey.”
“Am not.” Tabitha’s little voice came from the corner.
“Are too,” Tate said, sticking her tongue out at her little sister. The two sisters were also giggling as they played with their dad.
“Stop it, you two,” Tiny said, shaking his head. “Your mom’s going to see Lexie with Simon. I better not hear any more crap from you, missy.” He pointed his finger at Tabitha before moving onto Tate. “You should know better. You’ve got a kid of your own and one on the way.”
“Will do.” Tate saluted him.
He shook his head, walking out.
Tabitha walked over to her sister, and they high-fived. “We had him, did you see?”
“Yep.”
Was this what it was to be a family? Lacey had been ten years old when her family had been torn from her. Pushing the thoughts aside, she finished eating as Zero walked into the kitchen.
“What have I told you about leaving my bed?” He pulled Prue into his arms, slamming his lips down on hers.
Lacey wished she could have something like that. Zero was careful of Markus as he kissed Prue.
“You were snoring your ass off. I’ve been awake for ages. I’m not lying around all morning just to get a kiss with your morning breath.”
“Woman, I swear I’ll spank your ass.”
Prue’s smile grew wider. “Is that a promise?”
Everywhere Lacey turned the signs of love and devotion were clear to see. Lacey finished her food, climbed off her chair, and made her way to the sink. She washed the dish aware of her hands shaking.
Angel stood beside her. “It’s okay to be nervous. I was nervous when I first arrived here.”
She smiled at the other woman, hating her reaction to being around the club. Lacey wanted to be part of it while she felt she didn’t deserve it. Her family was long gone, dead, by the men who were now around her.
“Stop mauling me.” Prue slapped Zero in the gut. “It’s time for us to go before we get stuck in a shitload of traffic.”
“Come on.”
“Wait, have any of you seen Rose?” Zero asked.
Angel had grabbed her arm and started leading her out of the room. The two women stopped to look at Zero.
