She nodded, feeling a sadness envelop her.
They had lost a lot of people along the way. Some they had never even gotten the chance to meet. She placed her hands on top of Lash’s where they rested on her stomach. Their very first child. She had not been able to bring it to term. The club had been under attack at the time.
“Don’t,” Lash said.
“I know. Don’t worry.”
“I can never lose you,” he said.
“You’re not.”
She looked around the room, seeing Anthony first, then Chloe, and finally coming toward Connor.
Her three babies. Their children.
“Can you believe we made them?” Angel asked.
“When they’re behaving, I think they’re yours through and through, but when they’re not, they’re all mine.”
She couldn’t help but giggle. Spinning in his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck. “You always claim to be a bad boy, but you and I both know you’re not.”
He shook his head. “And you, babe, are far too trusting. Have you forgotten how I finally won you over?” His brow was raised.
Angel chuckled. “I think showing me who you really are did that. You being you is what made me fall in love with you.”
“Ah, but you see, you wouldn’t have seen me if it hadn’t been forhim.”
She knew thehimhe was referring to. Her father. Lash had killed him because he was going to further put her life in danger.
Moving up to her tiptoes, she pressed her lips against his. “Thank you.”
“For what.”
“For wanting me.”
“Angel, babe, you do not have to thank me for wanting you.” He ran his hands down toward her ass, drawing her in closer. She felt the hard ridge of his cock as it pressed against her stomach. “Wanting you has never been the problem.”
She gasped, feeling her own arousal speed up. All Lash ever had to do was touch her, and she was on fire in his arms. That had never once diminished.
She was about to suggest they step back into his office, but all of a sudden, chairs were thrust out of the way.
“Oh, shit,” Lash said.
Angel turned to see Killer and Dick standing toe to toe, which was the only part of their bodies that matched up. Dick was tall, but Killer was known as a giant.
“You got something to say?” Killer asked.
“Yeah, I want to know if I can take you in an arm wrestle. I want to know if all that is for show.” Dick then slapped both of his hands against Killer’s shoulders.
“Oops,” Angel said.
Lash let her go and immediately rushed toward the two men.
“I bet Killer squashes him,” Nash said.
She turned to glare at her brother-in-law. “Not helping.”
“What? Come on, we all know that Killer is the winner here. Dick is all mouth, and Killer is all muscle.”
