But none of them saw it that way.
Nope, he was her brother and their son.
And even though they had the same mom but different dads, they acted so much alike that it was uncanny.
I had just pulled up my swim trunks when my text pinged.
Star Shine – Want to swing by and pick me up?
Me – Be there in fifteen.
Star Shine – Be careful.
Me – Always.
I pulled into their driveway not even ten minutes later.
Garret had his arm around Valerie, helping her walk, seeing that she was seven months pregnant.
Connor was trailing after them, laughing at something Creedence had said.
And at the sight of her, damn but I was glad as fuck that she wanted to be around me.
I chuckled as she kissed Connor’s cheek, then her dad’s, and then Valerie’s. Then she skipped her way down the driveway and to my side.
I tagged the black helmet that was solely hers and handed it to her.
She still had on her navy tee and blue-jean shorts, but I could see black straps tied around her neck.
She took the elastic out of her hair and handed it to me. I wrapped it around my wrist, and then she put the helmet on.
After she climbed on, I lifted my chin at Garret and then started up my bike.
Creedence wrapped her arms around my waist and leaned into my back.
“Ready!” she called out to be heard over the growl of the motor.
Then we were off.
And on the way to the lake, we met up with the rest of the club and the families.
Novalie was with Cotton.
Dale, Lucy, and Shiloh were in the SUV following them with Jasper and Cassidee.
Marley was with York.
Caristiona was driving with Kiera and Maddox.
Cooper had Miriam on the back of his bike.
Phoebe was with Xavier.
Sydney was with Walker.
And Fiona was with Knox.
The prospects trailed behind us.
