for being your only female friend then,” she teased.
    I snorted.
    “You can come drink beer with us anytime you want,” I invited, gesturing to the table of my friends.
    Peek and his wife, Alison. Griffin and his woman, Lenore. Wolf and his kid, who was currently sleeping in his room. Ridley and Casten. Even Apple, the prospect, wasn’t half bad.
    We were a bunch of people that had become family out of necessity.
    And I would trust each and every one of my brothers to have my back if I needed it.
    And Annie was easily becoming one of the few women in the world I would trust.
    “I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard why you and your wife got together. What’s the big deal?” Lenore asked with confusion.
    I was surprised Griffin hadn’t shared.
    It wasn’t a secret.
    It just pissed me off to think about.
    So I didn’t tell anyone if I didn’t have to.
    Which luckily wasn’t often since my brothers were more than willing to tell it, like it was obvious that Wolf was ready to do.
    “Jennifer came to one of our parties. We don’t have many, so when we do open them up to the public, quite a few people show up,” Wolf started. “This bitch must really have been jonesing for this party, because the moment she walked into the door, she locked her eyes on Mig.”
    “Now, anyone who’s been around this town for a while knows that Mig isn’t exactly the nicest one of us. He doesn’t even pretend to be. So there she was, walking straight in and right up to Mig like they knew each other,” Wolf continued. “And not one of us thought it was odd at the time. We went on about our business, drinking and having fun. Mig tried to ignore the woman and was doing spectacularly at it until a fight broke out among two young girls over who was going to play pool next.”
    “Okay… So, what happened then?” Annie asked while Wolf paused to take a sip of his beer.
    “What happened next was cloudy for most of us. All we saw was Mig breaking up the fight, then going back to his table where he was talking to a couple local officers and drinking his beer,” Griffin started. “The next thing we know, he’s taking Jennifer to his bedroom and leaving the party. But who are we to block him from what he wants.”
    “Except…” Annie urged.
    “Except for Mig waking up the next morning totally blank on what happened, with a headache from hell, and a sore cock,” Ridley piped in.
    Annie blinked, turning to me.
    “You were drugged?” Her voice rose.
    I nodded, the bile burning deep.
    “Went to the doctor the next morning thinking I was dying. Turns out I had enough roofies in my system to knock out a two-ton rhino,” I answered.
    “And you think it was Jennifer?” Annie asked.
    “I know it was Jennifer. Went searching for her the next day and found her brother who informed me just how vindictive his sister really is. Took me to her room in the apartment they shared, saw the fuckin pill bottle that the roofies came in. Took it to have it tested, then came back to confront Jennifer a week later where she told me her plan. Apparently, her mother had helped her come up with a plan to bag herself a ‘heir’ as a husband,” I answered.
    “You’re an heir?” She asked.
    Casten slid the bottle of vodka he’d been sharing with Ridley for the last half hour across the table.
    It came to a stop in front of Annie, and she was looking at it in confusion.
    “My dad owns Konn Vodka,” I answered.
    Her eyes widened.
    “I think I have some of that in my cabinet right now,” she answered, turning the bottle around.
    “I think everyone does,” Lenore answered, pulling the bottle to her and looking at the label.
    “So what happened next?” Annie asked.
    “Didn’t hear from her again for eight weeks. Then she shows up at my work and tells me that she’s pregnant,” I answered.
    “And you fucking married her?” Annie screeched.
    I snorted.
    “After I had a DNA test to make sure the kid was mine, yes.”
    Annie shook her
