The night went better than I had even planned it to. Sure, it was crazy; but it was also full of laughter.

As much as I didn’t like Dani checking out my dad, it seemed to get her out of her nerves.

I could tell my parents approved of her, which means a lot.

Hey, I may be a grown man, but I want them to like the woman I want to spend my life with.

I always knew that they wanted me to be happy. They did the best they could for me, considering they spent most of their time looking for Zeke or riddled with guilt about losing him.

I take Dani back to the club. She is the reason that I haven’t stopped smiling all night.

When we get to the club, a bunch of brothers and club whores are partying.

I look over everyone and see Viking checking out a club whore who seems to be smirking at him.

I shake my head hoping that Ana doesn’t see that but, when I turn to the kitchen, I see her standing in the doorway looking at Viking with a sad, defeated expression.

“Go. I think your friend needs you,” I say softly to Dani.

“Thanks,” she says and gives me a light kiss before walking over to Ana.

I head to the bar and grab a beer, sitting close to where Viking is.

“What are you doing, brother?” I ask when I notice that he isn’t taking his eyes off the club whore.

Finally, he turns my way. “What do you mean?” he asks.

I let out a sigh. It might not be my place, but seeing that defeated expression on Ana’s face did something to me.

“You know what I mean. With the club whore. You’ve got a good woman at your side,” I tell him.

“I know she’s a good woman, brother. I’ve known that since I met her. Things are just going on that you don’t understand,” he says with a sigh.

“Well help me to understand. If you don’t want Ana anymore, then let her go,” I say.

He scoffs at my words. “You know it’s not that easy. She has got my patch, and my ring on her finger.”

“Well, if you don’t figure your shit out, you are going to lose the one woman you have; that is, if you haven’t already,” I say.

He drops his head with a sigh. “I know it, brother. These women here are nothing but temptation. That’s all it is. I haven’t touched them. I don’t plan on it. Ana always told me if I wanted to fuck someone else, to let her go instead of cheating on her.”

“When you guys were going through your shit a few years back, you said there wasn’t anything that would make you let her go. What changed?” I ask him.

“We just have seemed to hit a stall. I guess happily ever after doesn’t last forever. Sometimes it gets a bit boring fucking the same woman all the time. Never anything different. These women here aren’t wearing much, but Ana wouldn’t be caught dead in that. Always seems to cover up in her baggy clothes. She let herself go after we got married,” he says.

I look at him with disgust. “Brother, I don’t know what the fuck is going on with you, but you better figure your shit out because someone might come along and see the amazing woman she is, and you won’t have anyone to blame but yourself.”

“Not likely,” he says with a shake of his head.

Before I can say anything else, the club doors open and a voice shouts. “Guess who’s back!”

A grin spreads over my face. “Ice! What the fuck are you doing here?” I walk over and grab him in a hug.

“I finally fucking transferred. I didn’t want to say shit until it was approved, but my Prez told me this morning that I was free to come to the mother chapter, and that the mother chapter Prez approved it, so here I fucking am!” he says with a grin.

“Well, it’s about fucking time,” I tell him and walk him over to the bar for a drink.

“Finally fucking left that place. It was a good club and good brothers, well, most of them; but I couldn’t stand to be around them anymore, you know?” he says.
