I reeled her into my arms and dropped a kiss on her forehead. “I promise, the guys will leave you alone. They know better. But it’s not like they’ve never seen a naked woman before.” I copped a feel of her ass cheek. Yeah, I definitely wanted her again.
“I’m not sex on a stick. I’m not a kitten, Storm, and I don’t want to be treated like one.” She shoved my chest. I could tell she was getting worked up, so I needed to quickly defuse her.
“Baby, they’d never treat you like a kitten. They know you’re mine.”
“They do?”
“Yeah, baby. Bringing you up to my bed and ditching the party sealed it. You’re mine. They won’t disrespect you. They know I’d beat the shit out of them if they did.”
“Wow. But still—”
“My shirt covers more of your body than the pretty little dress you had on yesterday.”
She twisted her lips, looking down at herself, then flashed a brilliant smile.
“You are so right. I’m swimming in this shirt.” She laughed. “Okay, let’s go.”
“That’s my girl.” I took her hand and led her to the kitchen.
The clubhouse would be busy, which was perfect for parading my girl around.
And she looked damn fine in my favorite Ozzy Osborne tee. Ozzy was hitchhiking to hell. I rarely wore it, always afraid I’d ruin it. Uncle Matt had given it to me on my twenty-first birthday. All these years later, it was priceless to me. I loved it. I loved it even more on Madeline. Fuck, I was hard just looking at her in it.
“Morning, Prez,” Track greeted us with a smirk. His brows shot up, seeing Madeline in my coveted T-shirt. “Morning darlin’. You’re looking mighty fine with Ozzy on your chest.”
“Good morning to you, too. This old thing, I just threw it on.” She playfully waved him off. Damn, my woman knew how to handle herself with my brothers. She just kept getting better.
Track chuckled. “Well, you’ve improved it.”
“I agree.” I pressed my lips to her temple. “Coffee, baby?”
“Please. Just a little creamer.”
I jerked my chin to a barstool at the giant island. She took a seat two down from Track.
As the president of the club, I didn’t serve anyone. I was always served. It was just how it was in my world. An outsider wouldn’t understand it. So when the eyebrows of some of my brothers shot up, I was sure they wondered if I lost my fuckin’ mind offering Madeline a cup of coffee.
I poured two mugs while more guys filed in and lingered near the island with curious eyes. Most looked groggy after partying last night. I was surprised there weren’t any kittens hanging around. The boys must have worn their asses out, so much they left after preparing breakfast.
“Oh, you’re still around…”
Well, one kitten was here. I cringed, hearing Carla’s salty voice. Damn Lynx was supposed to have straightened her out. I slowly glanced over my shoulder at Madeline. She didn’t seem fazed. Rather than rush to her defense, I hung back and observed.
If Madeline was going to be my old lady, she needed to learn how to deal with the kittens. The club whores knew their place here and accepted it, but they acted like they owned the cocks in the club. They had no claim to any of us, but there was a pecking order and Carla was at the top. They claimed ownership over the men when a new girl entered the kittens domain. Like Carla was doing now.
The way Carla acted yesterday with Madeline wouldn’t be allowed, but it was better to let the women deal with each other in situations like this. Madeline needed to show Carla and all the other kittens who was boss if she was my woman. My queen.
If it got out of hand, I’d step in and shut it the fuck down. Especially since I hadn’t warned Madeline.
“I am. Did you just get here? I hope you got lucky last night.” The smartass tone in Madeline’s voice made me chuckle.
Carla huffed. “Yeah, well, at least I’m dressed for the day.” The stupid woman never could think up a quick comeback. But she knew how to be mean and nasty. Not sure why I let her stick around, other than she was an expert cock sucker.
I glanced over my shoulder again just as Madeline shrugged.
“We stayed in bed having sex this morning and planned to have more after breakfast. Getting dressed for the day seemed…pointless.” Madeline tilted her head with a sassy expression.
Carla scowled and several deep chuckles filled the room. I knew my woman could handle herself.
