I hug Sugar goodbye before she pulls back and cups my face.
“Don’t worry about Hank. You know Lollie will take good care of him, and I’m close by should they need me. He’s important to you, therefore, he’s important to us.”
“I know. Thank you, and thank you for coming down here when you heard what happened. You didn’t have to.”
“You needed me. Where the fuck else would I be?” She rests her hand on my shoulder and squeezes before stepping back and climbing into the waiting car.
Ivan closes the door, shutting her in. I reach over and grab his arm.
“Take care of her.”
“With my life, Reese. You know that.” He nods before climbing in and driving away.
I turn and jolt when I see my guys lining up behind me with their arms crossed. I almost pull my cell phone out to take a photo, but I don’t want to look like a weirdo.
“So Reese huh?” Graves crosses his arms over his chest.
“I’m still just Malice to you guys.” I shrug.
“And that’s the infamous Sugar. I gotta admit, she’s smaller than I thought she’d be.”
“Don’t let her size fool you. She could kill all of you without even blinking.”
“Of that I have no doubt,” Law murmurs.
“There was something familiar about the blonde. I don’t think I’ve ever met her, but I swear I’ve seen her somewhere before,” Blink muses.
I shake my head and walk toward the house.
“You know, I’ve never had a problem with what Lollie does for a living. But just once, it would be nice if my boyfriend didn’t know what her vagina looked like.”
“Wait, what? I told you I’ve never met her. She’s—”
“Lollie Evans. Porn queen and one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet.”
“Holy shit,” Blink whispers, looking at me as if he doesn’t know what to say.
I laugh in his face. People’s reactions always crack me up.
“It’s fine. I’m only teasing you. If I had a problem with everyone who’d seen Lollie naked, I’d end up alone with a chip on my shoulder and carpal tunnel from getting myself off. Though now that we are all together, I’d really appreciate it if you come across videos of Lollie when you are looking for spank bank material that you…well…don’t come across her video and scroll on by.”
“You are all the spank bank material we’ll ever need, Duchess.” Vega grins, throwing his arm over my shoulders as he walks us into the house.
“Wait, you sent Hank to stay and go to work with a porn star?” Graves stops me with an incredulous face.
“Yeah?”
“Well, I think it’s safe to say the man won’t be pissed at you for long.”
“Eww. As fun as this conversation has been, I don’t want to think about my pseudo-father jerking off to my best friend.”
Law laughs, stepping up to kiss me. “I better get going.”
I pout, which makes him grin before he gently nips my lip.
“You know you’re more than welcome to stay. Not just tonight, but for however long you want. These two do.”
Graves points at Blink and Vega.
