“With you women, you never know,” he drawls, relaxing slightly.

“Are you going to punch me again if I hug him?” Peyton jokes.

“Only if you do it a little too long,” I warn her with a wink. She laughs and gives Viper a quick hug before pulling away.

“I like her, so if you fuck it up, I’m going to be very disappointed in you,” Peyton warns him with a cheeky grin.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” he replies with a roll of his eyes. Then he pulls me back to him and gives me a quick, hard kiss. “I’m spanking that ass later for messing with me, baby girl,” he whispers in my ear. Heat burns through me and I watch him as he lets me go and walks over to talk to some of the other men milling around.

“I don’t know what he said, but good for you, girl, if he makes you look at him like that after,” Peyton grins, holding her hand up for a high-five. I smack my hand to hers, and then I introduce her to Sadie. Of course, the two of them get along swimmingly.

The best part of the day though, was Macy running into the clubhouse and screaming, “Nana Rose! Nana Rose! Guess what?”

Rose turns to look at her in surprise, but a huge smile pulls at her face as she scoops her up. “What?” she asks excitedly.

“Mom’s got two babies so that means I get two baby brothers or sisters,” Macy exclaims excitedly. “So now Daddy has to triple our bail fund allowance. I don’t know what that means, but does that mean I get lots more money to buy stuff with?”

We all laugh, and I look over to see Shadow and Quinn both grinning at their daughter. “I think so,” Rose agrees, beaming over at Shadow and Quinn. “And it also means we need to go shopping for more stuff too. So you’re going to need to get some more money in that piggy bank of yours, right?”

Macy nods seriously and then looks around the room. Her eyes land on Viper, and I barely manage not to laugh when the coy look comes in her eyes. “Favorite Uncle Viper,” she calls loudly, and then heads toward him when Rose sets her down.

“That’s my girl,” her grandfather calls out with a laugh.

Viper for his part plays along perfectly, letting her charm him out of fifty bucks, before she heads off to find her next victim. Hell, I’m pretty sure before she leaves that her piggy bank is going to burst with the way she has this group wrapped around her fingers.

“So when are you going to have one of those?” Sadie asks me cheekily. “I think that sweet little girl could have this place funding your baby's college education before they hit five.”

“Maybe eventually, but not yet,” I tell her with a roll of my eyes. I look over at Viper who catches my gaze and shoots me a cocky wink. I smile at him and focus back on Sadie who’s grinning like an idiot.

“The way you two look at each other, I give it a year,” she predicts. I roll my eyes and ignore her.

The rest of the evening is full of fun and laughter, and when I’m finally sitting with Viper out by the bonfire, I realize how much I love this. Being with this group of people, a new family to me, and seeing Archer laughing and playing with some of the other kids that arrived. This is what I needed, and it’s really nice to be accepted for who I am. Not just by Viper, but all of them.

“You good, baby girl?” Viper asks me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I look up at him and grin, “I’m good.” Then I lower my voice and whisper, “But I’d be even better if we were in your room, with you inside me, Daddy.”

His eyes flash with heat and he’s moving before I can react. I let out a burst of laughter as he hauls me over his shoulder. “Get it, bitch!” Peyton calls out with a laugh.

“If you’re back in anything less than fifteen minutes, I’m going to be disappointed, big guy,” Sadie laughs.

Viper flips them both off and heads for the clubhouse, with me swinging over his shoulder, and people catcalling us as we go. I should probably be horrified, but I can’t find it in myself to care. Especially not when he reaches what is now our room, kicks the door shut, before tossing me back on to the bed. “Baby girl, you’re trouble,” he grins.

“Good thing you like it then, huh?” I tease, going up to my elbows.

“Oh, I do,” he agrees as he shrugs off his cut. “I also like that I get to punish you when you’re being sassy. So get those clothes off, baby girl. Now.”

Heat settles in my core as I lie back and give him a taunting smile. “Make me, Daddy,” I breathe.

His eyes burn as he moves toward the bed. Anticipation builds. I hope no one’s looking for us for a while, because we’ll definitely be longer than fifteen minutes.
