CHAPTER SIX

Ivy

I flip down the lengthy drive that results in the large home on Hardtail Ranch, the place Peaches and Gunnar stay. Sage and I are at all times invited when the MC hosts events and household gatherings. The decision to point out up at two this afternoon hit in another way, although. This was no get together.

“What are we doing right here right this moment?” Sage asks in a whiny tone.

Oaklee, Grey’s child sister, flashes a large smile and leans ahead between the seats. “We’re right here as a result of when Peaches and Mother say leap, we ask how excessive.” At eighteen, she’s already a stunner, with thick brown hair and brown eyes that go from gold to espresso, relying on her temper.

Sage laughs. “Can’t argue with that. Ella Mae may have made some form of meals, so I don’t actually care what they need. I’m going inside.” I pull to a cease within the parking circle, and she or he pushes open the door, hops out, and darts into the home with out a look again.

“Hungry bitch,” I whisper below my breath, however Oaklee’s bark of laughter says it’s not low sufficient.

“Ugh, we have been too busy consuming final night time to even take into consideration meals. Then we slept in till you got here knocking earlier. Neither of us has had a single factor to eat since yesterday.” She pauses, then provides rapidly, “However don’t you dare inform my Mama and Daddy about that.”

I grin as we climb out of my beat-up sedan. “Inform them what, precisely?”

“Precisely,” Oaklee repeats with a smirk. She bounds up the steps forward of me. I grasp again, eyeing my junky previous experience. Perhaps it’s time I deal with myself to a candy new experience. I find the money for saved up.

“The whole lot okay?” Peaches’ voice pulls my gaze from my automobile to the girl who’s a second mom to me.

“Yeah. I used to be pondering I would like a brand new automobile. Any suggestions?”

“Sure. Take Grey with you so these good ol’ boys don’t make the most of a fairly face. And don’t get a big-ass pickup truck, please.”

I snicker. “You will have one.”

Peaches laughs earlier than she wraps me in a hug, kissing my cheek the best way she at all times does in greeting. “Yeah, properly, I’m a loopy previous woman, so I get to do dumb shit like that. However in a couple of years, it’ll be exhausting as hell to get my previous bones up in that factor.”

I cease and stare at her. “Outdated? Peaches, you’ll by no means get previous.”

Her burgundy brows shoot up in shock. “Aww, hon, you’re such a sweetheart.”

“Now, what’s taking place that you simply referred to as all people over right here to assist?”

Peaches’ expression modifications to considered one of pure pleasure. “A celebration. We’d like you ladies to assist with, properly, with all the pieces,” she says with amusing.

Nobody throws events just like the Reckless Bastards. At the least, no get together I’ve ever been to has stacked as much as theirs. There’s at all times a ton of meals, booze, and the rest you may wish to improve your party-going expertise.

As a dumb child, I at all times over-did the get together favors. However after I hit twenty-one, I discovered that a few pictures, a beer, and a sizzling biker are the proper mixture for a enjoyable time. “What are we celebrating?”

“Being alive,” Peaches solutions in that sassy means of hers that’s candy however leaves no extra room for questions.

I shrug and comply with her contained in the kitchen, the place Ella Mae is already feeding Sage and Oaklee. Her smile brightens when she sees me, and I settle for her hug and supply up my cheek for a kiss. Certain, I’m Grey’s previous woman, however she’s extra to me than my boyfriend’s mother.

“You look lovely,” she whispers.

“Thanks. I showered.”

“Did you?” Sage asks sarcastically earlier than taking an enormous chew out of a burrito.

“Ivy, extra burritos are warming within the oven. Egg, potato, and black bean. Sage and Oaklee, I would like you ladies to assist with the meals.”

They each groan in unison, and I snicker. This scene has been taking part in out for years. The one distinction is we’re all just a little older this yr. “Have enjoyable with the meals, ladies.” I shouldn’t taunt them, nevertheless it’s enjoyable, and I already know what my project shall be.

“Ivy will assist me arrange the bar and chairs within the yard,” Peaches says, attempting to make Sage and Oaklee really feel higher.
