“Dani is, well, a complicated woman,” Robyn says softly.
Zeke snorts and laughs at her words.
“She doesn’t give a fuck what anyone thinks. This one time, I warned her away from this guy in school and she went out on a date with him just to prove a point. She didn’t even like the fucking bastard, but she was making sure I knew I couldn’t tell her what to do,” Zeke explains.
“So, you are telling me that because I am giving her a hard time, that is just pushing her to pursue whatever it is between them?” Prez asks, looking at Zeke.
Robyn sighs. “Dani isn’t someone who can be told what to do. She has been that way her whole life. She obviously didn’t get it from me,” she says, biting her lip. We all know what she means though. She gets this trait from her father.
“Would anything I say make you change your mind?” he asks, looking at Dani with a pleading expression.
She shakes her head and sighs like she’s dealing with a child. “No, it won’t. If I like Zane, then I will see where it goes. Nothing you can say or do will change that. You know your club brothers better than I do. I’m sure if he was cruel to women, you would let me know and I might change my mind, but I don’t get the impression you let anyone into your club like that.”
“Well, they can be assholes, it’s part of the life, but they wouldn’t lay a finger on you, or touch you, without your permission,” he admits in a defeated voice.
“Right. So just so we are clear, I can have breakfast with whomever I want,” she states.
Prez lets out a sigh. “I suppose so. But if he hurts you, I will cut off his hands for even touching you.”
Dani pretends to think it over. “I guess that’s fair.”
“Well, I don’t wish to have my hands cut off, but I would never lay a hand on her in anger or touch her if she didn’t want me to. But, as she said, we were just having breakfast,” I tell them. They all jump like they fucking forgot I was even there. Rude.
“As long as we understand each other,” Prez says while looking at me in warning.
“Good. Now I want to go shopping, and Zane here told me I need to have a prospect with me,” Dani says, changing the subject.
“He’s right. You need to bring someone with you. Can’t leave you unprotected,” Prez says in agreement.
“Oh shopping!” Robyn says with an excited voice.
Dani shakes her head rapidly. “Mom, no.”
Robyn’s shoulders drop. “Why not? It could be fun.”
“You spend like twenty hours in the stores, and I don’t feel like being there all day,” Dani says.
“How about if I promise twenty minutes in each store and you can kick me out after?” Robyn asks in a hopeful voice.
Dani sighs but gives in, and I make sure the prospect knows just how important it is that he keeps Dani and Robyn safe.
I know I will worry until she’s in my sight again, but I can’t keep her locked up in the clubhouse and chained to me; no matter how much that appeals to me.
Chapter Five
Dani
Shopping with my mom is long and dreadful like I had suspected it would be. She takes more than twenty minutes in each store when I prefer to just grab my shit and get out.
It doesn’t help that I want to spend time with Zane, which is crazy because I only just met him. I like the way he didn’t try to hide that he wanted to be with me from my father. I don’t think I would handle it well if I was someone’s secret.
I’m excited to see where this goes.
I breathe a sigh of relief when I see my mother heading up to pay for her stuff. This is the last store we are going to. The prospect who came with us’ name is Hank. He looks as happy as I am to be getting out of there.
He doesn’t complain though, which I think is because of my father. He wouldn’t want to get on his bad side. Especially since he’s close to getting his patch.
The prospects are here for a year, and then there is a vote to decide whether they are accepted to be part of the club. From what I learned, Hank’s year is done in a month. There is no guarantee that he will become a brother.
