“Why?”
    “Why not?” He answers back and leaves the shop. I stand there in shock, not knowing what to do with myself now.
    Do I go back in the room with the girls and Sketch? I know he’s restarted Drew’s tattoo because I can hear the tattoo gun.
    “Plus I have to have the best looking girl on my arm.” I turn around and see Devlin back at the front door to the shop. He’s deadly serious and his words cause shit to stir in me. Without giving me chance to reply, he gives me his signature smile and leaves me standing alone.

 
     

     
    Why the fuck am I freaking out over what to wear tonight?
    It’s only a night out with everyone. Sure, Devlin has actually asked me to go with him and he did say that he wants me on his arm. Who knew he had a sweet side?
    “Holy shit you look hot!” Lauren claps from my bedroom door.
    I’m currently wearing my high wasted black leather trousers with a matching black crop top that shows off a little flesh on my stomach.
    “You think?” I ask her, looking at my reflection.
    “I know.” She smiles. “Don’t you dare change.”
    I look her over, she’s wearing a red dress that’s tight on her breasts and waist and then flows out in a flattering way down to her knees.
    “I see red has become your colour.” I smile.
    “I believe it has.” She winks across at me.
    She loves the tattoo Grim had put on his chest of her, she did look hot that night and everyone knew red was her colour. It just pops out against her dark features and now that Grim has her tattoo and the fact she’s wearing another red dress makes me smile.
    “Anyway, someone’s here to see you.” She pouts her lips and raises her eyebrows, obviously curious.
    “Who?” I ask, even though I have my suspicion.
    Lauren frowns. “Oh you know.” She accuses me. “Why didn’t you say?”
    I shrug. “Didn’t think it was important.”
    “Liar.” She scowls. “Is there something going on between you two?”
    “Me and Devlin?” I laugh. “God no!”
    She looks me over carefully and then finally nods her head. “I told him to wait in the front room for you.”
    “Thanks.” I smile.
    Lauren gives me another curious look before leaving and when she’s gone I feel relief wash over me. Why did that feel like an interrogation?
     

     
    “Why would your brother be here for Natasha?” I ask Brandon as I slip on my heels.
    “I don’t know.” He answers as he watches me. “Just leave them to it.”
    “But Devlin’s a player.” I point out. “And Natasha isn’t as hard as she looks. She went through worse shit than me, I just don’t want her to get hurt.”
    “She’s a big girl.” Brandon pulls me up to stand in front of him. “Now, let me kiss those lips before we leave the house.”
    ***
    When Brandon and I eventually show up at the bar, I’m scared that everyone will know why we’re so late. After Brandon had his fill with me, I found that Devlin and Natasha had long ago left. Turns out time really does go fast when you’re having fun.
    “Congratulations!” Screams a tipsy Elise as she grabs me in a hug.
    “Thanks.” I laugh, making sure she has her balance.
    I look around and see that a lot of people are here! Mostly the young members, even the ones with old ladies and have brought them along. I’m glad because as the VP’s old lady, I need to get to know all these women. Even Brandon’s brothers are here, blood related and club. I didn’t expect this at all.
    “Well done on the job Lauren.” Scrappy says as he embraces me in a hug. I hug him back but I feel Brandon’s arms rip us apart and he steps between me and Scrappy.
    “Scrap.” Brandon warns.
    “What?” Scrappy raises his arms. “I know my boundaries.”
    Laughing, I take another look around the club and it’s then that I spot Natasha. She is stood at the bar with Devlin and they look pretty cosy. They’re only talking, but it’s the way their bodies are closely facing each other and the way Devlin looks at her.
