Mia laughed and he knew that he'd want to hear that sound every day for the rest of his life.

Chapter 21.

Mia sat near the window sipping her coffee. Ratchet had woke her an hour ago with kisses. He'd made love to her before saying he had to take a ride but that he'd be back in an hour or so. She'd nodded. He'd already talked to Bone about what had happened to Matt. They were riding to the city in a few days to impress upon the guards there the need to not cause problems for the club. She was a bit worried about that ride. She didn't want anyone getting hurt.

Only she didn't want the men who'd hurt Matt to get away with it. He'd always been such a sweet young man and what had been done to him would scar him. Much like what happened to Monica, who was still catatonic had scarred her. Vera had come over just a few days ago to tell Mia that she'd be resigning at the school. She'd asked if Mia wanted to stay on as a teacher or if they should try to find someone more permeant.

Since she loved teaching the children she'd told her she'd love to stay. The woman had been grateful. She'd felt bad leaving so abruptly but her daughter needed full time care and she didn't want to leave her in the hands of strangers. It was a sad state of affairs. She was glad that her friends were safe now. They were taking to the world outside the city well. Raven was working with two other women at the farm that tended to the cows and the chickens and strangely Raven loved it.

It wasn't Mia's cup of tea but if it made Raven happy then so be it. She was also seeing a man in the town about two miles away. Marcus was joining the Devils. He'd said that being a part of something that protected people like Matt was something he could feel good about. He'd been given his cut with just the club patch this week. He was officially earning his place in the club as a prospect now.

He'd taken to the bike like a fish to water. He and Lacy would ride out with a few other men in the club often. Having them all here and happy was wonderful. She'd also been happy in the last two months since her big blow up with Ratchet. Now that she knew why the man wouldn't call her when he was away she'd been okay with messages from Tick and Charity when he was out on a run. A few times he'd called her and they'd had phone s.e.x which they'd both enjoyed.

He'd told her that it still made him want to turn his bike around and come home to her. Her life with Ratchet was amazing and the little things he did for her made her heart squeeze with love for the crazy man. He'd even spent way more credits than she wanted to think about setting up a drive in movie theater for her so that she could watch her favorite movie "The End of us All" sometimes. The other women in the club had loved the movie theater. That was how the friday night movie showing had started.

So far ten different movies had been played. The whole club loved the theater and some had offered to pay back some of Ratchet's credits since they were watching the movies with them but he'd refused. He'd told her that it was because seeing her smile was worth every one of those credits he'd spent and he wanted it to be something she'd always know was just from him. And that it was because he loved her.

She could see his bike pulling up outside and smiled. She took another sip waiting on him to come inside. She felt her heart jump when she saw from the window that he wasn't wearing a shirt again. He still didn't like clothes much which was okay with her as long as she got to see his s.e.xy abs.

"Where are you?" Ratchet called from the front room. Mia shook her head the man was forever yelling to see where she was because he didn't want to take the time to search.

"In here." She called to him.

Taking the last sip of her coffee she set it down on the table beside her. Ratchet walked in carrying a folded cut. She wondered if he was giving one to Matt. The boy was following in Marcus's footsteps as usual and was joining the Devils too.

Ratchet walked over scooping her into his arms he dropped the leather on her stomach. Then moved toward the bedroom.

"Uhh...what are you doing?" She asked, not that she minded him taking her into the bedroom. She wasn't an idiot after all.

"Taking you back to bed. I patched you now you have to tie me to the bed and have your way with me." Ratchet gruffly demanded.

Mia let out a laugh. "You haven't patched me you foolish man. I've been thinking you weren't going to. After all it's been six months.'

"Just did." The insane man said. Then set her on the bed and went in search of the handcuffs.

"No you didn't." She called from the bed, confused.

"Did too." He called back from inside the closet.

"When?" She demanded.

He walked out of the closet with the cuffs already clicking them to his wrists. He walked over to her jerked the leather off her stomach and shook it out.

"Patched. Now get naked I want you to f.u.c.k me." He growled ripping off his own cut and tearing off his pants then clicked his right wrist to the bedpost. "Here do the other one."

Mia didn't move she was too busy staring at the leather vest he'd just handed her. It said Property of Ratchet-Red Devils M.C. on the back. Then she looked up at the crazy man. Wasn't he supposed to do this all romantic and s.h.i.t? All the other women in the club had told her about the ways their men had asked them to wear their patch. Her man had just thrown it at her then told her to get naked.

She stared surely this was a joke? He was going to get romantic and beg her to agree or something? Right?

"Woman what are you waiting on. Click this in place and get naked to take advantage of me." He growled.

She walked over to the wrist he was shaking at her. And clicked the cuff into place on the metal bedpost, but then she just stood glaring at him. He had not just told her she was patched without even asking had he?

"What?" He demanded looking at her innocently. As if he didn't have a clue.

"That's how you're going to ask me to wear your patch? Throw it at me and say your patched now get naked?" Mia demanded irritated that the man seemed to be serious.

"We both know the answers is yes and I'm h.o.r.n.y. Been thinking about you tying me up for weeks." Ratchet told her smirking.

That son of a b.i.t.c.h really thought that he could just throw it at her and say you're patched. That was it, like she'd be so overcome with joy at the thought of keeping him she'd be ready to do whatever he wanted. She glared at him before she turned heading to the door.

"Where the h.e.l.l are you going woman?" Ratchet demanded jerking on the cuffs.

She turned back to him smiling. "You just patched me. I have to go tell all my friends about it. And I do mean all my friends baby even the ones in Devils Falls. I should be back in less than three hours I think."

She turned and Ratchet was not happy. She was leaving? With him cuffed to the bed naked. She must be kidding. This was just payback for him being impatient. She'd go in the other room and then come back surely. She wouldn't leave him like this for three hours, he thought smirking. She'd be back in a minute and then she'd take advantage of him.

He was sure right up until he heard the truck crank up. Then he started yelling only it didn't do any good the woman had really just left him hard and cuffed to the f.u.c.king bed while she went off to tell everyone he'd patched her. f.u.c.k when was he going to learn not to be so d.a.m.ned impatient. f.u.c.k. He settled in. he had a feeling this was going to be a long wait.

When his woman finally returned and let him out of these cuffs he was going to paddle her a.s.s before he let her cuff him to the bed again to have her way with him. He chuckled as he waited. d.a.m.n he loved that woman.

He was still thinking that an hour later when Tick came to release him from the cuffs. He didn't even care that the man was laughing so hard that he almost couldn't manage the ch.o.r.e. When he was dressed he headed out to find his woman. She still needed to take advantage of him.

Chapter 1.

Bone snuck around the living room trying to be as quiet as possible. He couldn't wake Molly. She'd been asleep when he'd left their bed an hour ago. She'd looked like an angel lying there with her hand cradled under her cheek. Her little nipples had been ripe berries that made his mouth water and his c.o.c.k protest the need to sneak away from their bed rather than take his sweet old lady to their own personal heaven again.

He almost laughed when he thought of how disappointed his poor c.o.c.k had been. But he'd needed to get this present hidden before she awakened. It was hard to fool his woman these days. Her shy, quiet beginnings with the club and him had become a fiery, confident, demanding woman who knew how to handle her husband. Not that he minded. h.e.l.l no. He loved that woman more today than he would have thought possible two years ago. She always seemed to know what he was up to.

His heart squeezed a bit when he thought of the one thing Molly wanted more than anything else that he hadn't been able to give her. Her inability to get pregnant even though they'd been trying for over a year was breaking her heart. He knew there were options still and that they were going to make it despite the disappointment, but he wished that it wasn't so hard. The tests Doc had run on them would be back from the lab in the city this week and they were both nervous.

That was why her not knowing about this present he was hiding from her was so important. He wanted to see his Molly smile that brilliant smile that lit up his whole world. f.u.c.k that woman made him, a biker for f.u.c.ks sake, think in candy hearts and flowers. For two years she'd made him happy, and he couldn't imagine his life without her. Bone moved away from his office where he'd hidden Molly's gift. He was headed to the kitchen to make breakfast when he heard a thump above him that made him smile as he heard a grumble coming from the lips of the woman who was his whole world.

"d.a.m.n it. That hurt. Where is that man?" Floated down to him. He knew he was wearing an ear to ear grin, but he couldn't help it.

Molly woke to a cold bed which didn't make her happy. Bone didn't usually leave without telling her and she was disappointed that he'd run off without a word. She groaned as she rolled over. She didn't want to get out of bed. It was too cold, but she would have to. She needed to get to the clubhouse in less than an hour to help Pearl and Aunt Mae direct the children who were preparing for the Christmas pageant.

She wondered what was going on with the club that had pulled her husband from her bed this morning without even a goodbye kiss. She knew that they'd had a strained relationship for the last month. It worried her. She knew that she was happy, but with the stress from the Jackal's and them not getting pregnant were wearing on Bone. She knew that in the past two years they'd grown as a couple, but she was a little worried.

He'd been acting strange for three weeks, and although she trusted Bone she was worried. He'd been with her for two years and that was longer than he'd been with any woman. She didn't want to think that he may be cheating on her, but his behavior of late had been secretive. Her heart ached thinking of him with another woman. She sighed. Rising from the bed with her heart squeezing in her chest. She knew that if he was seeing another woman she wouldn't be able to forgive him. It broke her heart, and she knew that she'd be unable to deal with the pain of her loss if that were the case. She almost couldn't bear the pain just thinking of it.

Walking into the closet she grabbed jeans and a sweater then quickly moved to the shower. The hot water washed over her taking the slight chill away from her skin, but not easing the worry that seemed to be consuming her this morning. She got out getting dress in the clothes she'd brought in with her. Feeling slightly better. The worry about Bone's strange behavior wasn't as easily shaken. She headed into their room still stewing about the possibility that he was seeing another woman.

She was so distracted from her thoughts that she forgot about the new chest that was at the foot of the bed and hit her toe on the edge. She jumped up and down screeching out.

"d.a.m.n it. That hurt. Where is that man?" Because her preoccupation was all his fault. If he hadn't left their bed without even a goodbye kiss she wouldn't have been so upset that she forgot the chest. She headed down the stairs. She was surprised to see her husband in a white shirt, his cut, and a pair of jeans. He looked guilty standing in the middle of the room.

What was he up to? Had he been out with a woman and thought that he could get back to her bed before she woke? These thoughts swirling in her mind she looked at him with suspicion.

"What are you up to?" Molly asked him not bothering to hide her suspicion. Though she didn't ask the question that burned in her mind. Was he breaking the vows they'd made to each other almost two years ago?

"Nothing, baby. Did you hurt yourself?" Bone asked smiling as he walked to her taking her into his arms. Kissing her. His tongue caressed hers making her moan and melt into him. Grateful that she didn't smell another woman's perfume on him. He smelled like Bone and leather like always. Her man. She loved him so much she almost broke with it. He finally pulled back from her his hands holding her a.s.s his hardness pressing into her belly.

"You want me to make you breakfast before we head over to the clubhouse?" He asked, kissing her nose.

"Sure, but I can make it." Molly told him.

"Together then." Bone said, smacking her a.s.s as he moved towards the kitchen with a smile. He hoped that she didn't discover what he was really up to, he thought as they began making breakfast together.

Molly stood watching Max who was a playing one of the wis.e.m.e.n in the play the children were putting on jump up and down. He was trying to get Aunt Mae's attention. She'd been giving out cookies to the younger kids and he wanted one. She smiled at the little scamps.

"He's cute as a b.u.t.ton. I can't believe how well they're behaving." Racheal said from her seat beside her.

"Yeah, they're all adorable. And so eager to put on this play for everyone." Molly said with a wistful smile. Still worried about Bone's strange behavior.

"Okay, b.i.t.c.h. What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?" Racheal demanded looking at her with narrowed eyes.

"Nothing. I'm just a little stressed." Molly replied, not wanting to worry her friend.

"No it's not nothing Molly Brighton! I've seen that wistful almost smile three times in the last hour, and we both know that it's the one you give when you're upset about something, now spill." Racheal said, finally having had enough of this sad sack who was pretending to be Molly. She'd been acting strange for over a week now.

"It's nothing." Molly told her looking miserable.

"Spill." Racheal demanded.

"Fine, I think that Bone may be cheating on me." Molly said, her voice teary sounding.

Racheal looked at her friend. Had she lost her mind? That man was crazy in love with her and the idea that he was cheating on her was ridiculous. She knew for a fact that the man had gotten her the sweetest gift that was going to make her friend cry for sure, but in a good way.

"Molly, that's not possible. He's so in love with you he doesn't see any other woman." Racheal told her. Molly grimaced.

"I don't know he's been acting strange, and he's hiding something. I know it." Molly whispered.

"Molly, he isn't hiding an affair. That man is so crazy about you it isn't funny. Besides the man doesn't have time to have an affair. He's always with you or taking care of club business. He may be hiding something, but I don't think for even a second that it's an affair." Racheal told her friend. She had a sneaking suspicion she knew what Bone was hiding from Molly. If she was right then this worry her friend felt would be taken care of in a few days when he gave her the gift he had for her.

Molly knew that Racheal was likely right, but she just couldn't shake the worry that Bone wasn't as happy with her as she was with him. She had no reason to suspect her husband would ever hurt her that way, and she felt a little shamed that she was thinking it of him. Only he wouldn't tell her what he was hiding and the longer her imagination was given to stew on it the more she thought that was what was going on.

"Your right. I shouldn't worry, but I just can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. I know it's silly, but I just love him so much. Thinking that he might not be happy makes me crazy." Molly told her, smiling at Travis, Lisa's son as he walked up to her holding up his tiny baby arms to her. She leaned down picking him up. Smelling his sweet baby powder and cookies scent she sighed.

"I promise it will be fine. Perhaps it's something to do with the Jackal's. He wouldn't tell you about that. Our men are so overbearingly overprotective." Racheal told her although she suspected that it wasn't that, but the surprise for Molly that Bone was hiding from her.

"Maybe." Molly said, her face buried in Travis's hair. Racheal felt her heart ache as her babies kicked. d.a.m.n, that might be part of Molly wistful sadness. Racheal knew. They'd been trying for over a year and still they weren't pregnant, and Molly was sure that it was all her fault. The tests that Doc had run when Racheal was first pregnant hadn't told him what was wrong. Just that Bone's sperm count wasn't low.
