The Biker's Fate Chapter 36

Danielle

"What about my clothes?" she asked.

"You wanna play the whore, babe, you don't need clothes."

I covered my mouth with my hand, both liking the way Austin was standing up for me, but also a little sad at another woman's humiliation... even if she did bring it on herself.

"Buzz, no one in my room except me or Dani, yeah?" Austin demanded.

"Yeah, Booker. Sorry."

Austin scowled at Tiff. "What are you waiting for? Fuck off."

She started down the hall, her head bowed, her countenance very different than it had been a few minutes ago. I stood in stunned silence, Annie's arm still around me, and watched as Austin stepped back into his room and emerged holding Tiff's clothes. He shoved them at Buzz and then grabbed my arm and pulled me inside. Annie followed.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against his chest and I couldn't stop myself from crying into his shirt.

"Baby. It's okay," he whispered.

"I thought... I..."

"I know."

"I'm so sorry. I should have trusted you."

"We're still new. Tiffany's a bitch, but she's a smart bitch. She had a fifty-fifty shot of freaking you out enough to mess with your head. I don't think she was ready for the consequences though."

I glanced up at him. "Thank you for giving her back her clothes."

"Baby, there are kids downstairs."

I leaned back with a frown. "So, if it was adults only, you wouldn't have given them back?"

He smiled. "I'm pleading the fifth on that one."

"Probably a good choice." I buried my face back in his chest and let him hold me.

"So you fucked Tiff," Annie murmured.

"Don't start," Austin said.

"That's scrapin' the very bottom of the barrel big brother. What the hell?"

"I was drunk and horny. She was there and willin'." My body locked and Austin gave me a gentle squeeze. "But we don't need to go there."

"Ignore her, Dani," Annie said. "She's a total skank who seriously has fucked pretty much everyone in the club, other than a couple of the recruits."

"But that's kind of sad," I said.

"How so?"

"Because when a woman feels insecure enough to sleep around, especially that much, she has bigger issues... like her dad didn't love her enough maybe. I think that's sad."

"Holy shit, Booker," Annie said. "How the hell did you manage to convince this woman to give you a chance? She's obviously too good for you."

"I'm hoping she won't figure that out until after I marry her." He kissed the top of my head. Austin loosened his arms and pulled me to the chair opposite Annie's. He sat down and guided me onto his lap, wrapping an arm tightly around my waist. Because he was so much taller than me and the chair was huge, I was able to settle myself on his chest quite comfortably.

"What's going on with Bullet?" he asked.

"Maybe you should talk about this in private," I said.

Annie waved her hand dismissively. "Honey, if you've got my brother talking marriage, you're already family."

"This is the first I've heard of it," I said.

"Classic Booker," Annie said with a giggle. "Romance is not his forte."

I bit my lip which made Austin chuckle. "She knows."

"He's romantic in his own way," I said.

"Seriously," Annie said. "Saint."

"Yeah, she is." Austin kissed me quickly.

"Stop," I whispered, but I had to admit I was feeling better than before.

"What's going on with Bullet?" Austin asked his sister.

Annie grinned. "Nothing he won't learn from."

"So it's like that," Austin murmured.

"He just needs to miss me a little I think." Annie cocked her head. "Something you'll need to learn, Dani, is when these men get out of line, or start to take you for granted, you need to dish out some lady justice. Keep 'em on a tight leash."

"Shut the hell up, Annie," Austin said with mock irritation.

I giggled. "If I run into issues with this one, I'll call you."

"You will not," Austin said. "You will never have her phone number."

"We'll see," Annie said. "Let's get downstairs. I'm ready to get my drink on."

"You're comin' home with us tonight, right?" Austin asked.

"If you don't mind."

"We don't mind," I said, quickly and climbed off Austin's lap.

Annie and Austin stood, and Austin grabbed my hand. "We'll meet you down there, Annie." She nodded and left the room and Austin pulled me into his arms. "You okay?"

I looped my hands around his neck and smiled. "I will be. I'm sorry I thought the worst."

"I promise, I'll never cheat, baby. If I fuck up so badly you stop loving me and giving me you, then we'll break up, but I won't ever cheat."

"I love you."

"Love you too, babe." He leaned down and kissed me, and it quickly turned heated. Austin laid me down on the bed and, as was his go-to, he slipped his hand under my shirt and pulled down the cup of my bra. His fingers rolled my nipple and I whimpered as I deepened the kiss. I felt a buzzing from his pocket and he broke the kiss with a curse. Rolling onto his back, he answered his phone. "What? Yeah. Okay." He hung up.

I sat up and fixed my bra and shirt.

"Sorry, baby. We'll resume this later," he said and slid off the mattress, pulling me with him.

"Everything okay?"

Austin nodded. "Bullet's here."

"Oh," I said. "Drama?"

He chuckled. "One thing you'll learn about Annie, there's always drama. Come on, let's go have some fun."

I checked my appearance in the mirror and then followed him downstairs. A tiny body collided with my legs from behind and I glanced down to see Lily hugging me.

"Dani, Dani, Dani."

I hunkered down beside her and grinned. "Well, hello pretty girl. How are you?"

Lily jumped up and down. "Daddy said I could stay up and have a cupcake."

"Oh, my goodness! That's so exciting. May I join you for the cupcake?"

She nodded.

"But you have to eat your dinner first, right?"

She nodded again, but her little nose went up in a wrinkle.

I giggled. "Good girl."

I stood again and she slipped her hand in mine as we continued into the great room. We walked in to find a standoff of sorts with Austin, Hawk, Mack, and a tall blond man who was having it out with Annie, however, I didn't miss his devotion to her. He stayed connected to her, kept himself between her and the other men, and they may have been arguing, but I could see a spark of mischief in her expression, which made me think she was very happy to see her man.

"Daddy!" Lily called.
