“Find a shelter,” Co says in Mohegan making me laugh.
I look at him. “Some things just don’t translate into English, Co. ‘Find a shelter’ doesn’t have the same ring as ‘get a room’.”
Lily cracks up and Co nods. “You are right my wise Prince. I will work on that.”
I throw my leg over and put my hand out for Lily. “They are fuckin’ funny with that dry sense of humor.” She wraps around me and I’m loving the feel of her against my back.
Chapter Three
Little Ben
“Jeremy is due in before Church. I think he’s staying with Taylor, but it’s not clear so he could be here later.”
She looks up smiling. I love that smile. “Okay. Does he need anything special while he’s here?”
“No, he takes care of himself. He has books and his computer in his room. He knows where everything is and comes and goes as he pleases. He doesn’t leave the compound without Security and he’ll leave a note if he’s going to be anywhere for a while.”
She laughs. “He has a room here?”
I guess I didn’t mention that. “The blue one. He has stuff at Taylor’s and Brantley’s too, but he sleeps here a lot.”
“I don’t have a problem with him here, but why wouldn’t he stay with his Brothers?”
I smile. “No one sleeps here but me. Jeremy doesn’t like company – Taylor and Brantley are bikers with healthy sex drives.”
“Oh. No one has ever slept here?” Thank fuck she didn’t ask anything else.
I shake my head no. “You are it. No, that’s not true. My parents and Pres did before I gave them a house of their own so I didn’t have to share.”
She laughs. “Good to know. Thank you.”
I sit and pull her to my lap. “My life was meant to be shared with you Lily. In everything, I am all in. When you told me how I was treating you I fixed that. I will do everything I can to make you happy and show you I’m all in every day for the rest of our lives. Marry me Lily.” I show her the ring in my hand.
She’s surprised and tears fall. “I didn’t expect this so fast. You’re like a train speeding down the tracks.”
Is that bad? “Does that mean yes?” Jesus, why am I nervous? She has the ability to hurt me with a no. Of course I’m nervous.
“Yes!” She kisses me and my heart slows. When she pulls her mouth away she smiles up with her tears. I don’t know why, but I want to laugh. “I don’t know why you were nervous. I’m already on your insurance.” She watches her ring moving closer to my mouth.
Laughing, I kiss her hand. “Thank you. I love you Lily, for always.”
“Love you too, my handsome Prince. I have to call Brenda and Aubrey!” She tries to jump up.
“Hold on babe.” She relaxes back and I show her the bracelet and necklace. “All your jewelry is tracked. Between here and the MC we have you covered. I’ll get you some rings and barbells and get tracking in them so you have changes to keep you happy. For now, you keep your jewelry on and I’ll breathe easy. Yeah?”
“They’re beautiful, thank you. Yes, I’ll keep them on. You made it easy.” I get a kiss and she’s up like a jack in the box. Jeremy walks in with a big smile.
I follow her and wrap my arms around her from behind. “I have to get to Church. I’ll have Jeremy with me,” I say bending close to her ear without the phone against it. She nods and screams. “Fuck. I’m out babe. Call me if you need me.” She nods stomping her feet with a big smile on. Jeremy laughs. “Let’s go before she screams again.” He follows me out. I’m glad she doesn’t hide her reactions from me. I like seeing her excitement.
We make the gate with Darren, Sheila, Jared and Brantley following us. Jeremy falls back with Brantley and Jared, and Sheila stays behind them. Thank God he doesn’t pull out and fly through the streets. I can feel him laughing and tell him to stay behind me. I get a, ‘yeah Prez,’ in my head.
The lot is filling up and I wonder why everyone is getting here early.
I look at him. “Some things just don’t translate into English, Co. ‘Find a shelter’ doesn’t have the same ring as ‘get a room’.”
Lily cracks up and Co nods. “You are right my wise Prince. I will work on that.”
