Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(60)

When my parents found out I was dating someone from a MC, thanks to whoever told them, they immediately called wanting to meet him. I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad thing. My parents are pretty open and understanding, but they know the Last Hangman are outlaws. They always were pretty worried when I was hanging out around them with Ayden, when we were younger. I have no idea how it’s going to go, but they are coming over tonight for dinner and I’m shitting myself. Aleck is acting all cool, but I know he’s as nervous as I am.

“Stop pacing, you’re going to make me nervous!” He chuckles and grabs my hand, tugging me onto his lap.

“I can’t help it! I know they are pretty laid back, but they know the history of the club. I just don’t want them to get the wrong impression of you.”

“It’ll be fine, Gorgeous. I just hope you won’t get rid of me if they don’t approve of us being together.” He kisses my neck.

“Nothing will tear us apart. Just try not to swear too much.” I can’t help but chuckle.

“I’ll try, but can’t promise anything, Line.” He kisses along my jawline, making me moan.

“Stop it! You’re going to make me horny and they’ll be here in a few minutes.”

“I thought you were always horny for me?” He raises his eyebrow.

“I am, trust me! Don’t make it worse.” I glare at him and kiss him deeply, grinding my ass into his crotch.

He groans. “Don’t do that then!”

“See what I mean!” I laugh and get up when I hear the doorbell ring. I’m about to say something, but he cuts me off.

“I know, no swearing, no talk about the club, drugs or anything bad, be nice and smile. Got it.” He rolls his neck and pumps his fists, clearly mocking me.

“Ass!” I flip him off and go to open.

“Now, who’s the rude one!” His chuckles follow me.

I open the door and smile at my parents. “Hey, Mom, hey, Dad. Come in.” I move to the side and let them in. “I hope you had a good trip.”

“Hi, Sweetheart. Yes, we did, your father managed to get us lost, but we made it. You’d think we’ve never lived here!” Mom shakes her head as I laugh.

“Typical Dad.” I grin and hug them both.

“It’s your mother’s fault, she told me to take the wrong exit!”

“Oh, no you don’t, Robert, you’re not blaming this on me!” She glares at him and I have to laugh. They’ve been married for thirty years and still act as if they were still in their honeymoon stage.

“A little help here, Aleck,” Dad begs him.

“Women and directions.” He shakes his head agreeing with my father and goes to shake his hand. “Nice to meet you, Sir.”

“Finally someone who agrees with me!” Dad looks at his tattooed hand for a second and shakes it. “Nice to meet you. Come outside with me for a minute, I’d like to have a little chat with you.” He doesn’t wait for a reply and walks back out the front door. I’m sure it’s just the ‘you hurt my daughter I’ll hunt you down’ speech, but still, it’s not reassuring.

“Of course,” Aleck says before walking to me, kissing me softly and walks out closing the door.

“Not sure if I should be worried or not, Mom.”

“It’ll be fine, Sweetheart. He just wants to have the manly talk with him, that’s what he said on the way here. You know we don’t judge people. I’m sure he has a lot of qualities for you to have chosen him…”

“But…?”

“But he does have a lot against him. He’s an outlaw and has most likely been doing illegal stuff all of this life. I wouldn’t want any of that to fall back on you.” She squeezes my hand as we walk in the kitchen.

“I know he’s done bad things, we’ve talked about it and while I can’t change what happened in the past or tell him what he can and can’t do, he’s seriously the kindest and most stubborn man I’ve ever met, and he makes me happy when he’s not being an ass…” I grin innocently.

“When he’s not being an ass or when you’re not being bossy?” Mom raises her eyebrow at me.

“How dare you, Mother?” I fake being offended and we both laugh. “Alright, I might be a bit bossy at times, but it doesn’t seem to put him off.” I shrug.

“I love her bossy side.” Aleck chuckles from behind me, scaring the shit out of me.

“Don’t do that!” I elbow him, making him chuckle again. “Good to see you’re still alive.” I kiss his neck.

“I just needed to talk to him, Princess. Don’t worry. We’re good, he knows where I stand.” They both look at each other and Aleck nods at my father once.

“Okay? Whatever that means…” I look at them then at my mom confused.

We all sit at the table, passing the food I spent all afternoon preparing.

“So, Aleck, Charline told us that you have a daughter?” Mom questions out of nowhere.

“Yes, I do. She’s five.” He beams.

“Why isn’t she with us tonight?” Mom asks sounding a bit disappointed.

“She is quite shy around new people, I didn’t want to put her through meeting you two so formally and well, to be honest I wasn’t sure if you would accept me or kick me out at first glance. I’d rather save her the heartache. She really likes Charline.” He smiles squeezing my hand. I smile back, melting.
