“What about girls, Damon? Or boys? What if he gets his heart broken or he’s a heart breaker?”
“We’ll be there for him. Always. You and me.” He kissed his son by pressing his lips to her stomach.
Teri put her hand next to where his lips were. “He’s settling down.”
“That is because he knows not to get in his daddy’s way.” He kissed her stomach. “I’ll sing to you tonight if you let me fuck your mother.”
The women groaned, and Teri laughed. “You can’t say that kind of stuff to him. What if his first word is fuck?”
“Then we know we’ve got a fellow Dirty Fucker on our hands.”
Teri laughed again as he stood, pulling her into his arms. “How are you feeling?”
“Good.”
Her pregnancy had been healthy, but he was worried it could take a turn for the worse, so he was constantly checking on her.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” He pulled her in close and kissed her lips. “I’ll see you downstairs.”
“I’ll be there.”
He stepped out of the room and headed down to the main clubhouse. It had frozen over last night, so all the decorations had been moved into the main clubhouse.
Pixie sat with his wife and kid.
Kitty continued to organize everything.
The heavy scent of flowers clung to the air.
This was his wedding day.
James came toward him. “Are you sure you picked the right best man for this job?”
Dane stood at the make-do altar, talking with the priest.
“I am.”
“Teri and Dane have a history,” James said.
“God, not you too. Is this like a sickness between you and your wife?” he asked.
“That’s not funny.”
“Neither is questioning my decision. Dane is trying. He’s proving himself at the club, and you know it. He’s one of the best prospects.”
“Only because he knows what we like,” James said.
“Exactly. Maybe it’s time to cut the man some slack. He’s here. He’s not going anywhere.” Lucy, Lewis, and the kids were also invited. They sat on his side. He’d already seen Dane talking with them.
From what he could tell, the drama with Ryan had dissipated. Father and son were now on speaking terms, and everything was progressing nicely. While Dane built his house, he and Ryan had moved into the apartment with Anna and Cole. Teri now lived with Damon. It had been Kitty’s idea for them both to live in the apartment, seeing as he was club, and he needed a place to stay while he got to work building his house. So far, everything seemed to be moving fine.
He kept his word and hadn’t told anyone else about Dane’s history, apart from Teri. Damon had promised there would be no secrets between them, and there weren’t.
Stepping toward the altar, he joined Dane.
“Are you ready for this?”
“I’ve been ready for a long time.”

Teri was nervous.
“I promised myself I wouldn’t be the pregnant bride.”
“You look beautiful,” Skylar said.
“Stop worrying,” Cora said. “There’s nothing wrong with being a pregnant bride. You and Damon are so good for each other.”
She knew that. Damon was her soul mate. The other part of herself. The past four months had proven that. She’d moved out of the apartment, into his home. At his request, she had made changes to make it more of a home she’d stay in. Not that she needed to make too many changes. The house was perfect as is.
With Halloween fast approaching, they had already started to go shopping for decorations. They were both on the same page for that.
She loved it.
She was in love with Damon.
“Are you ready?” Skylar asked.
She glanced down at her sister’s hand and nodded. “Yes, I am.” Gripping her hand, she began to walk down the corridor, toward the stairs. Skylar didn’t let her go as she moved down the steps.
What bride wore sneakers with a wedding dress?
She needed the comfort though, and Damon had found them for her, all white.
They got to the door that would lead to the main clubroom.
“Let’s do this,” she said, opening the door.
No music came on.
Teri looked toward Damon, who smiled at her.
“It’s about time you showed up,” James said. “Your outfit is missing something.”
She frowned as she glanced down at herself. “Huh?”
He pulled a leather jacket from behind him. “We all took a vote, Teri. You’re one of us. Always have been. Always will be.”
Tears filled her eyes. “I can’t cry. It will ruin my makeup.”
“There’s no need for tears.” James held the jacket out and Teri stepped into it. “You’re club, Teri.”
She heard the round of applause and looked around.
“You’re family,” Cora said, wrapping an arm around her.
Teri looked toward her man. Damon stood at the altar, Dane by his side. He had told her everything and asked if he could have him as his best man. She knew this meant a lot to him, and she had no feelings for Dane.
Her love was all for Damon. It always would be.
