We walked the girls out to the VIP table and sat them down. We let them see Kathy. I walked out to the bar with Spike and I saw my older sisters. Kathy, my sisters yelled running to me and hugging me. We hugged each other crying. You are safe they asked? Yes, this is my boyfriend Spike. He takes care of me. Just then Rage, Anger, Temper, and Mark walked out of the kitchen with soup and coffee for the girls.
We sat the bowls of soup in front of the girls before we sat down next to them. Eat the soup girls they said. We saw that the girls ate half the soup before saying they were full. Rage looked at a prospect and told him to take the bowels to the kitchen. We all sat talking in quiet voices so we did not scare the girls. We noticed that every now and then some single club members looked at the girls with lust in their eyes.
I growled. What is wrong Temper? So help me god if they continue to look at the girls like they want to eat them I will kill them. My brothers, Anger, and Rage looked over and saw it as well. Our father yelled eyes of the girls. They are taken so do not get any ideas. The men all looked away from them. We need to make sure they are protected at all times dad Anger said. At least until they get to know us and we can claim them.
I am worried Mark said. About what? Kathy, Iris, Piper, and Luna will be together. Grace will be going to a club where she knows no one. She will be alone without our her sisters. I am not sure how she will be able to take being separated from them. Her fear for their safety could intensify and she could become depressed. Why don't we bring Sara here to get to know the girls and Grace? That way Sara will be able to reassure Grace when she has to leave.
I think that is a good idea. Grace will not feel so alone when she leaves Kathy, Luna, Piper, and Iris. As well as me. Don't forget about me James said. Alright, and James the big baby. We all laughed at that. We were looking over at one of the prospects when he walked in from the kitchen and slipped on a wet floor and spelled spegattie on top of his head. We heard the girls giggling and then everyone in the club was laughing.
We smiled down at the girls as they looked over at the prospect laughing. This was the first time we heard them laugh. We looked at each other. We like hearing them laugh. The prospect looked over at our table and yelled, "what are you laughing at"? The girls stopped laughing and shifted back against the booth in fear. Prospect Anger yelled. Do not ever raise your voice to them again. Not if you know what is good for you Temper yelled.
***
Yes, it is. I have waited a very long time for your mother. Now it is going to happen and I am going to be a very happy man. If I remember the history of you two. You loved mom even when you were in high school. That is the truth. But, she was dating your father. I just decided to wait in the shadows and hope that she was very happy. I never thought that your father would ever get killed and then I would have a second chance with your mom. Don't take that wrong boys.
We just grinned at him. Well, it looks like mom finally decided to give you your chance. Which, I am very grateful for. I could never claim a woman. Not unless it was your mother. That is why I have been single all these years. Now, after 30 years I can finally do that. Claim a woman as mine. The woman I waited for all these years. I want to make her happy. I want us to have a happy life together. I will protect her as I always have.
A lot of people ask me why I waited so long for her. Simply that I love her. I can't love anyone else. Not the way I love Dottie. She is special. She is loving, caring, smart, and beautiful. Plus, she is a great cook. No one can deny that. She makes the best homemade bread, pies, and cakes. Your mouth waters when you smell her bread baking. And the pies. You would kill to have one of her apple pies.
