"You'll hurt quit it." She was too far-gone to give a f.u.c.k and I gave her what she wanted. If her p.u.s.s.y hurt later I'll take care of it. I looked down at my name scrawled across her back and something strange happened to me. I never knew that seeing that s.h.i.t would make me go blind with l.u.s.t.

This wasn't just your average everyday l.u.s.t though. I think I went crazed for a minute while the haze covered my eyes. I pulled back from her cervix and then went back in a little harder this time but still not enough to cause her pain, not yet.

I kept that up for a while teasing in and out of her cervix until I was sure she could take what I was about to do. Pulling back almost all the way I slammed back into her hard as f.u.c.k. She came with a scream. I came, and came, like there was no end in sight. "I think you should make it permanent." I leaned over her back and whispered in her ear before pulling out. "Told you it wouldn't take long."

"You're a fiend Hayden, I think you moved something that time." I rubbed her tummy to ease the discomfort but I knew she'd enjoyed that s.h.i.t because her p.u.s.s.y was still throbbing.

She hopped down off the bed two minutes later when she could finally move. I was already up heading for the en suite to get a washcloth. "Where're you going?" I stopped her in her tracks as she headed to the bathroom.

"I have to clean up, I can't go to the BBQ with you leaking out of me."

"Two things, one, when I shoot into your cervix there's hardly ever any leakage and two, there's going to be a lot of unknowns there today, I want my scent on you." I threw her top to her and went about cleaning myself up.

There was one more thing I needed to take care of before we left and I was hoping it didn't start any s.h.i.t. I'd saved it for the last minute because; f.u.c.k if I know. Women are unpredictable so this s.h.i.t could go either way.

"You know Deanna's gonna be there with Holly right? So I need you to please just stay out of her way." I saw the tensing of the spine and the squaring of the shoulders and figured I'd stepped in it. There was never an easy way to deal with this situation, no matter how I dealt with this s.h.i.t I always end up being the bad guy, when all I'm trying to do is keep the peace.

"Why doesn't she stay out of my way?" Oh she was furious alright.

"Why is it that every time we are going to be in the same air s.p.a.ce as your ex you pull this s.h.i.t? Why don't I do us all a favor and stay home?" She tugged her top off over her head as she spat obscenities at me. My little Ivy- league grad knows three or four languages and the little well brought up society belle knows all the cuss words in those languages.

I didn't have the first clue what she was calling me this time but I knew she was p.i.s.sing me off with her s.h.i.t.

"Put your clothes back on Lily we don't have time for this s.h.i.t."

"No I'm not going, how dare you stick up for your ex over me?"

"What the f.u.c.k? How pray tell am I picking up for her. Today there's gonna be a lot of s.h.i.t going down, things could get sticky if cool heads don't prevail. I'm asking you as my woman to chill the f.u.c.k down and stay out of her way because you and I both know that she's chafing because of the engagement and there's a good bet that she might mouth off about it."

"I don't see why she even has to be there if you want to know the truth." Is this same woman I was just buried b.a.l.l.s deep in? How the f.u.c.k did we get form there to here? if I'd said that same thing to a male they would've understood and seen my side no question.

"You know that she and Jackie are friends, they were friends before you and I even met. Holly's gonna be there, she's bringing Holly over it's as simple as that. She's not coming there for me and even of she was I'm not interested and you should know that by now. I'm simply asking you for the sake of peace to steer clear of her that's all. I know you're not the one who starts s.h.i.t, but I also know that if she pushes too hard you won't back down either. All I'm saying is walk the f.u.c.k away. Now come here."

She took her sweet time making her way over to me but I let her slide. I pulled her in and held her until she calmed the f.u.c.k down enough for me to kiss her. "You okay now my little h.e.l.lion?" She blushed pink and hid her face in my chest. "Yes, but you're gonna have to make it up to me for hurting me feelings, culo." I know what that s.h.i.t means.

There was already a f.u.c.k load of bikes lining the street leading up to Jake's place. The driveway had been left clear for my guys and I, along with Jake's team. There was music coming from around the side of the house along with children's laughter. The guys were following Stephanie and her mom over and should be here soon.

There were a few members from the three crews here already and of course the men were posturing like ten year olds. I caught Jake's attention and he walked over with a beer in hand. I wasn't planning on having too much because I needed to keep a clear head and I tried not to imbibe when Lily was on the back of my ride.

The three heads beat me here it looked like with their henchmen in tow. This s.h.i.t was beginning to feel like a mafia sit-down or some f.u.c.k. "How's the atmosphere Jake?" I took a sip of my beer and watched Lily across the yard yakking with Jackie and some other women that I didn't know. Women are strange f.u.c.king creatures that way, they can meet and strike up conversations like long lost friends. Men not so much, especially not this bunch.

"They're cool." Long-winded f.u.c.ker.

We walked over to get things moving since the guys were all sectioned off in their own groups. "Shamus, Jared, Slash." I greeted each man with a pound and stood back to see who was gonna set s.h.i.t off.

""Blade." Shamus was the eldest one here, as head of the h.e.l.lraisers he's been doing this s.h.i.t for a minute and he looked it. He was a true throwback to the bikers of old. With the foot long greying beard and the beer gut to go with it. He was getting up there in age but word was he was still the wrong motherf.u.c.ker to mess with.

Jared probably had a few years on me. He led the Outlaws and though he was tatted up from head to toe with bulging muscles, he didn't have that hard look to him yet. I think he used to be an attorney or some s.h.i.t in his past life. It was left to be seen what, if anything he could bring to the table. That was whole purpose of this little get together after all; to pool our resources.

Slash, the head of the Invaders was in his late twenties and with his white blonde hair shaved close and his tats and piercings on full display, he was a cross between the other two. From my quick once over of the men they'd brought with them it seemed each crew had a theme. Wish the f.u.c.k I could get my boys to be this uniformed. Deke would probably kill me in my sleep if I tried to get him to wear anything other then leather and Stryder was a GQ model wanna be. So not happening.

"We doing this now or you guys need some time?"

"Nah I think we're all ready." Shamus spoke for the others and Jake nodded his head in the direction of the far side of the backyard where he had a table set up. I shook my head no when Deke and Stryder started to follow me. The others could have their shadows follow if they liked but this was my turf. I didn't feel the need to flex my muscles, not yet anyway.

The boys weren't too pleased but they stood down, though they stayed close. What the f.u.c.k am I? Their grandfather or some s.h.i.t? I ignored them and headed over to the table where the others waited. I was the picture of relaxed, but I was ready for anything; just because these f.u.c.kers claimed they came in peace that didn't mean I was about to let my guard down. The U.N. has been holding peace talks for f.u.c.king ever before two factions and that s.h.i.t was in Nowheres land.

I sat back and waited for one of them to talk, after all they were the ones that needed to sell me on the idea of letting them in. My deal here today was to make sure that they understood what it would mean if we accepted them. I wasn't power boating but I wasn't about to play fast and loose with this s.h.i.t either. Too much was at stake for me to be anything but hard with this s.h.i.t.

Once again Shamus took the lead. "So what is it that you guys do anyway?"

"A lot." What the f.u.c.k?

"I mean what exactly is it that you do on a day to day. We've only got the bare bones of the operation and if we're gonna be getting on board we need to know just what it is that we'd be getting into."

"Here's the deal, this s.h.i.t is serious. What we do is offer protection where it's needed but there's a lot more to it than that. We have our hands full with a whole slew of s.h.i.t from security detail to relocation etc. etc. etc. Now the only reason I'm even contemplating letting you guys in the door is because we're stretched thin. This thing has taken off and become huge. We're getting request from states all over the map not to mention internationally. We try not to turn anyone away.

Sometimes there's more than one complaint at a time and since I don't believe in short changing one to take care of another, we could use the extra help. We don't need it but we could use it. The other thing that you guys need to know." Here I looked at each one of them with my adon't f.u.c.k with me' expression.

"We run this s.h.i.t like the army, there's no stone left unturned and every situation is handled with care from beginning to end. Any questions?"

I've got one. How do you choose who you help?" Slash sat forward with his elbows on the table.

"We don't, they choose us. Here's how it works, we get a call or email or what the f.u.c.k ever. The first thing we do is make sure it's legit. With that we either do a background check or send a few guys out to scout the area. Once we've ascertained that we're really needed a team heads out right away. Some cases are more serious then others, some might take days some weeks. Here's where you guys come in. All of you have chapters in other states that can be deployed if need be. But understand anyone interested in joining us have to go through the training.

This s.h.i.t is about more than riding around looking tough, they need to know how to deal with victims of abuse along with some other training that we have in place. There's no grand standing and no fighting for supremacy, this is the h.e.l.lions deal plain and simple anyone don't like that can walk now. We've been doing this s.h.i.t for a couple years now and we pretty much have s.h.i.t on lock, we can always use new blood and we're always open to ideas. But nothing goes down on one of our cases without coming through me. When there're too many chiefs and not enough Indians s.h.i.t gets FUBAR."

I noticed Flash and Jared to a lesser extent flexing but that s.h.i.t didn't faze me one bit. I wasn't about to f.u.c.k around with this s.h.i.t and get an innocent killed. When we ran an Op it was combed over in minuet detail from beginning to end, no room for f.u.c.k ups. From the time we hit the ground running everything was in place.

There was no last minute calls saying I can't make it something came up. Or any of the other bulls.h.i.t slackers got away with in the areal world'. Each man had a part to play that was essential to things going as smoothly as possible and there was one more thing I needed to remind my colleagues of lest they forget. Remember, we're doing this for the children and for those victims out there who need us. It's not about us it's always about them.

Now are you guys still interested?"

They mulled s.h.i.t over and we hashed things out. In the end we were all agreed that it was something we could work with together and all that was left was to organize training for the men who were gonna be onboard. I was still gonna keep me eyes on these guys and their crews because I didn't know them like that, but so far during the preliminary backgrounds I'd ran on the charter members there hadn't been any red flags.

With that s.h.i.t over I could turn my attentions to enjoying the day. Jake's women had put out a spread of monumental proportions which was needed when the rest of the guests started showing up. I was having a time of it keeping my eye on my guys and making sure they weren't getting into s.h.i.t. Just because I'd just made a deal with these guys didn't mean that some knucklehead wouldn't say or do the wrong thing. It was par for the course when dealing with this ilk.

Lily was gabbing away in what appeared to be the women's designated area so she was fine for now. Lil bit hadn't shown up yet and the guys were talking about a game of shirts and skins. Everyone except Deke that is, if there wasn't a bat or pigskin involved he wasn't interested. I figured I could relax since everyone seemed to be getting along well.

I grabbed a beer and went to the table closest to the entrance to wait for my little girl. I know she loves s.h.i.t like this, and between her and the others kids milling around I had no doubt Jake's place would be s.h.i.t in ten seconds flat. Better him than me. I was beginning to grin at the thought when I caught movement out the corner of my eye.

I turned around in time to see Deke throwing some guy into the side of the house. I was running before I knew I'd even stood. "Deke what the f.u.c.k?" I had to speed up before he reached the guy again which he was about to do. "Deke, drop him."

"No, he has to apologize."

"I don't have to do no such thing, who are you anyway? This has nothing to do with you." I didn't know what the f.u.c.k, but I did notice Jake's tenant standing there close to tears and wringing her hands.

"Deke, put him the f.u.c.k down now." he shook him like a rag doll before dropping him like a sack. "What the f.u.c.k are you thinking? We talked about this s.h.i.t."

"You didn't hear what he said to her." I could see him tensing to charge again. Meanwhile the a.s.shole would not shut the f.u.c.k up and the woman was out and out crying now. f.u.c.k me can't I have just one day?

"What happened?" Deke puffed up before he looked at me square in the eye. "He said he shouldn't have to dole out money for the kid, that it wasn't his fault that she'd gone ahead and had the imbecile after he told her not to."

"How would you know what I said to my wife if you weren't eavesdropping on our conversation? Anything to do with my family has nothing to do with you." Before I could deal with the a.s.shole Deke made a step towards the woman. "You're still his wife?"

"No his ex." The a.s.shole reached towards her and Deke pulled her out of his reach. "Don't f.u.c.king touch her." What the f.u.c.k was going on here anyway? He said something to her I don't know what and she walked off and headed back to the other side. So far it didn't seem like anyone else had witnessed this little showdown and I'd like to keep it that way if only the a.s.shole would put a sock in it.

"You shut the f.u.c.k up."

"I'm not one of your boys." He did the air quotes deal and kept mouthing off. "You can't tell me what to do."

I just walked over and throat punched the f.u.c.ker. "Educated idiot."

He choked out and his legs started kicking like he was going into shock or some s.h.i.t. I figure that was better than letting Deke cap his a.s.s, which I was pretty sure would've been next.

"There ought to be a law."

"What law is that boss?"

"Where you can shoot a motherf.u.c.ker for being stupid. There are entirely too many scholastic inst.i.tutions in this f.u.c.king country for people to be that f.u.c.king dumb."

By the time d.i.c.khead got his s.h.i.t together and crawled away with his tail between his legs Jake was making an appearance from the other side. "You better hope you didn't do any damage to Jake's house or it'll be your a.s.s."

"Nah Jake's cool besides he'll agree with me. maybe I should tell him what that f.u.c.ker did."

"No you will not. There're women and children here they don't need to witness any bloodshed for f.u.c.k sake." If there was one thing I knew from the years that I've known Jake and his family it's that he's very protective of the women and children. Somehow this woman and her son had become part of that unit. There's no telling what the f.u.c.k he'd do to this guy, deserving or not.

He finally made it over to us. "I saw you spear chucking the a.s.shole what was that about?"

It was nothing he was just mouthing off.

About what f.u.c.ker's mouth barely moves but his eyes don't miss s.h.i.t.

"It was nothing, just a little misunderstanding." Jake c.o.c.ked his brow in his aI eat f.u.c.kwits for breakfast' way. Deke smirked at me like he had me and came within two minutes of feeling my boot in his a.s.s "Jake looks like your kid is trying to see how your grill really works."

His head snapped around and he was moving "Where the h.e.l.l is his mother? f.u.c.king kid."

Tell me about it.

I turned back to my own problem child but was waylaid by my daughter's scream of excitement. The little ball of energy came flying towards us at top speed.

"Dee, Dee, Dee." what the f.u.c.k?

She made a beeline for her boy, hands up ponytails flying and the biggest grin on her face. He on the other hand had knelt down and opened his arms for her. His smile was almost as big as hers as she kissed his cheeks and gabbed away before turning to me.

"Daddy."

"Oh so you noticed me did you?"

She reached and I took her not the least bit put out that she'd gone to her big brother first. It was always jolting seeing those two together. Deke was as hard as they come but he'd come a long way from the menacing boy I'd put away years ago. Seeing him so loving and tender with my kid did something to me every time.

When she grew tired of us she climbed down and ran off to find her friends. "You're good with her Deke. When are you planning to settle down and start one of your own?" I was just f.u.c.king with him because I knew his mind was nowhere near that s.h.i.t, but his answer threw me.

"I'm thinking about it." I followed his gaze to Jake's tenant. f.u.c.k!

"Deke, you f.u.c.k with that and Jake will have your a.s.s boy." He laughed it off and clapped my shoulder as he walked away but I wasn't convinced. "It's just a thought boss, just a thought."

s.h.i.t.

I'd told Donna not to bring Steph until a little later in the afternoon. I figured by then any s.h.i.t that could go south would be over and done with. She was a little skittish when she first showed up which was understandable, until she saw that all her boys were here. I hadn't told the other crews about her they weren't one of us yet and it was none of their business, but it would be good to see how they interacted with the kids.

She took a minute to warm up but the other kids soon had her running and jumping like the nine year old she was. Her mom was being cosseted by the sisters and all in all it was a good break for the two of them. My guys were on high alert and without being too obvious Jake's men and mine were patrolling the perimeter. There was always the threat of one of Dwayne's a.s.shole pals showing up here and instead of shrugging that s.h.i.t off and thinking no way, I decided to be cautious.

I watched the other MCs as they milled around and got acquainted, sussing them out I guess you can say. Slash made his way to me about ten minutes later. "She one of yours?" He nodded his head in Stephanie's direction.

"Yep." That was all the f.u.c.k he was gonna get outta me until I knew where he was going with this.

"She's still hurting, it's in her eyes. He in jail?"

"The case starts Monday."

His jaw ticked and the veins in his arm throbbed as if he were holding himself back, and just like that Slash became my boy.

"What do you say me and my boys come along on this run, see how you do things."

I slapped his shoulder and sipped my beer. "Don't see nothing wrong with that."

Things were going good, looked like everyone was having a good time. My kid's laughter could be heard ringing out as she played with her friends, which was always a good thing for me. I saw the women in some type of huddle and was about to tease Jake about what the f.u.c.k they were up to when I noticed the dynamics.

Most of the women were bent over Lily's hand, which could only mean one thing; they were gushing over her ring. There was one person who wasn't taking part in the festivities and from the look on her face she was loaded for bear. Her eyes connected with mine and she made a beeline for me. Well s.h.i.t.

"How could you do this to me, how can you embarra.s.s me like this?"

"Not here and not now."

"I can't believe you're actually gonna marry her, whatever happened to all your big talk about Holly, and giving her the life she deserves?"

"She does have the life she deserves, because I'm there twenty-four seven if she needs me and she never wants for nothing. What did you think, that by some miracle we were gonna get back together?" She folded her arms and tapped her feet.

"We're leaving."

"My kid's not ready to go she's having fun; don't do this s.h.i.t. It's neither the time nor the place." She stomped off and to keep the peace I decided to let it go. There was no point in spoiling everybody's f.u.c.king day. No, just my kid's; one more thing that Deanna f.u.c.ked up with her selfish bulls.h.i.t.

When Holly started kicking and screaming I headed over there, it broke my heart every time I heard her cry, and there was nothing worst than leaving her in that state. "Hey baby it's okay, daddy will come get you tomorrow and do something fun." I picked her up and tried to calm her before s.h.i.t got out of hand.

"No I don't wanna." She stiffened up her little body and fought to get down. Deanna tried taking her out of my arms but she wasn't having it. When she tried wrestling her away I almost lost my s.h.i.t. "Don't manhandle my kid Deanna, I don't care how upset you are you don't ever do that s.h.i.t."

"Let's go Holly I'm not gonna tell you again." She totally ignored me and growled at the poor kid who had nothing to do with this s.h.i.t. I started to walk with them back to the car. Halfway across the yard I saw Deana throw a triumphant look over her shoulder.
