  “Izzy, darlin’, you sold me the moment you mentioned tattooing a bitch on her pussy,” Burner says laughing.

  “Watch it, brother,” Jerod growls as he pulls me into his arms, kissing me thoroughly before he turns me so that I have my back against his chest. I love when he holds me like this. “Let’s go see what the price for this place is. Izzy, you’re right. This is a great space but just for the record, you ain’t fuckin’ getting any tattoos close to that pussy of yours. That belongs to me and I ain’t about to go without so you can get some tattoo there. Hell no, not happen’.”

  “Twist, I wasn’t talking about me getting one but there are women out there crazy enough to get there woohas tatted,” I laugh at him for even thinking I would consider doing that shit.

  “Let’s go to talk to the sleazeball and see about putting an offer in on this place,” Jerod says pulling me toward the door.

  When we walk through the door Terrance finishes his call putting his phone away and turns in our direction. “Well gentleman what did you think?”

  “What’s your asking price?”

  “This building is more or less a lease but if I were to sell this space the price would be five hundred thousand.” Terrance is crazy if he thinks he can get that much for this place. I did my research and know it’s not worth more than one fifty and the man knows this. I’m pissed that he’s trying to screw the club over.

  “We want to buy it but not for five hundred, it ain’t worth that fuckin’ much. Try again.” Thankfully I warned Jerod earlier Terrance would try to do something like this.

  “I’m sorry but that’s my price.”

  “Then you can shove it up your damn ass. I’m not paying that much for a building when I can build one for cheaper than that.”

  “The lowest I will go is three hundred.”

  “I’m not spending more than one fifty.”

  “I’ll go two hundred and that its.”

  “Then you can find another buyer. As it is right now, it looks like it's been on the market for a while. I won’t go any higher. Either take my offer of one fifty or we walk, and it can sit vacant.”

  “One seventy-five,” Terrance speaks up.

  “No,” Jerod says firmly.

  “Fine. You have a deal. This building has great value but you’re right, it has been sitting vacant for a while and I need to get it gone.” Terrance sighs before looking at me. “I’ll draw up the paperwork and give you a call. Give me about two days and I’ll have it ready for you.”

  “How about you have it drawn up by tomorrow and we’ll come by your office with full payment,” I say holding my hand out ready to seal this deal.

  Terrance takes my hand nodding his agreement that he will have it ready tomorrow.

  “Baby, let’s go. We gotta get back to the club,” Jerod says handing me my helmet and waits for me to climb on behind him. “Just so you know, I’ll be paddling that ass for letting that fucker touch you.” I don’t get a chance to respond as he starts his bike up. Holy hell, I can barely wait. I’ll be the first to admit I’m addicted to anything that he does to me. Doesn’t matter if it’s his hands, mouth, or dick— long as it’s him.

  When we arrive back at the clubhouse, the lot is full. Nerves hit when spotting Kenny and Lynsdey’s SUV’s, guess it’s time to finally face them both. We need to clear the air between us, hopefully, they understand how sorry I am for the way I’ve acted towards them.

  “Baby, I got to get into church. Why don’t you hang out with the women for a while,” Jerod says as he gets off the bike.

  “Yeah. I want to spend some time with Kenny and Lynsdey, clear the air. I hope they can both forgive me for the way I’ve treated them.” I can’t look at him as I start to feel embarrassed with how I’ve let everything get out of control.

  “Baby, you don’t have anything to apologize for. They’re family and they understand that you had shit going on in that head. Now, I won’t say Kenny won’t try to kick your ass for scaring her, but I know you can hold your own. You’re strong, babe, if you need me, send me a text or grab one of the prospects. Whatever you do, don’t fuckin’ leave the clubhouse,” Jerod says taking my hand and walking to the door.

  “Who are all these people? There’s got to be twenty extra bikes in the lot.”

  “I told you the South Carolina charter was coming in.”

  “I know you told me, but I didn’t realize it would be so many.”

  “Twister, you motherfucker, where the hell you been, man?” A giant calls out making his way toward us, pulling Jerod in for a hug. When they pull away, I notice the front of his cut says his name is Hammer and that he’s the president for the South Carolina charter. It’s then that it dawns on me something must really be up that not only are there so many people from another charter here, but this man is here as well. Isn’t it like a rule or something that the president of the charter is supposed to stay near the clubhouse? I need to talk to Jerod. He can help me understand this stuff better.

  “Hammer, man, it’s good to see you. I’d like to introduce you to my ol’ lady Izzy. Izzy this is Hammer.”

  “It’s nice to meet you, Hammer. Jerod, I see Kenny over in the corner with J.C. I’m gonna go say hi to them,” I say before leaving them to talk.

  Seeing that Jerod’s not paying attention to me, I decide to go to our room, needing to regroup at the realization of not knowing exactly where I stand in the club.

  What the hell is an ol’ lady supposed to do?

  I saw conflict in Izzy’s eyes before she took off to go talk to Kenny. I’ll have to talk to her later about it. Right now, I need to call church and get the South Carolina charter up to speed on why they’re here.

  “Hammer, it’s good to have you here. Let’s get the brothers into church before they decide to get shitfaced,” I say knowing my brothers will want to show the boys from South Carolina a good time by taking them to Outlaw Racks.

  We may be on semi-lockdown, but it won’t deter them. Especially when we still need to celebrate Badger gaining his patch. Semi-lockdown is only for women and children. We don’t need them out there without protection until we know who is after Izzy and where the fuck they are. I won’t allow anyone to be hurt to gain access to my woman. If all the women are here, no one can get to them. Therefore, the brothers can still party tonight as long as shit don’t go down.

  I look around the room to see Kenny sitting alone at the table with my nephew. Where the fuck did Izzy go? Catching Kenny’s eye, she nods her head in the direction of my room. What the fuck? Shaking my head, I don’t have time to go see what’s going on. I need to get to the church.

  “Church motherfuckers,” I yell out as I walk past them. Hammer and Horse are right behind me as we make our way into the room. Thank fuck when I designed this room, I made sure it was big enough for when we had meets like this. For those that don’t sit at our table, there’s room for them to sit along the wall.

  Before the door is closed, Gadget starts to pull up the screen on his tablet, sending it to another one for everyone in the room to see what he’s doing.

  “Alright fuckers, I know you’re all anxious to get back out there to start the party, but we have some serious shit going on,” I say as I bang my gavel on the table. “First, I want to start with the fact we went to go look at a building that Izzy picked for a tattoo shop. When we talked to the owner of the building, he wanted us to pay five hundred thousand for it. That shit won’t happen. He saw reason when I told him I would only pay one fifty for the place. He agreed to our price, but I don’t feel right about this fuckhead. Gadget, I want you to look as deep as you can into him. I want everything down to the last time he took a shit.”

  “You got it, Prez. Nerd will be here in another hour with Tracker and Coyote.”

  “Why are Nerd, Tracker, and Coyote coming here?” Hammer interrupts.

  “Nerd’s coming to help break through some firewal
ls that we’re hitting. I don’t know why Tracker’s coming, but Coyote is coming to visit Izzy,” I say looking at the screen Gadget pulls up next.

  “What the fuck is he coming to see your woman for? What are you two sharing a woman now?” It takes everything in me not to punch Hammer in the face. I’ve got to remember he doesn’t know Izzy’s history.

  “Coyote is pretty much like my ol’ lady’s brother,” I say looking over at him, letting him know he’s pissing me off. Hammer is known to be a dick but he’s a good brother to have at your back when shit goes south. “Thorn, Rage what do you have set for the run coming up?” I turn my attention to the task that’s a priority.

  “Yeah, the cameras we installed caught a few more of the Dragons Fire MC guys hanging around the docks. One of the men met with a worker, givin’ them cash before walking off. The fucker’s gonna try to ambush us, I think,” Thorn grids out as Gadget shows the video. Looking at the screen, I get an uneasy feeling. When I reached out to Ratchet, he declined meeting with me. Said we had nothing to talk about and hung the phone up on me.

  “Fuck, we don’t need this shit. I talked to Grigory, he had the same assumption and asked that we switch the time of meeting him. Hammer, you cool with a few of your guys going with the ones here scheduled to go on this run? I don’t want this shipment lost to some Dragons Fire fuckers that think they can take our guns.”

  “Fine with me, Twister. Malice, Axe, and Gunner can go with your men,” Hammer says.

  “Thanks, brother.”

  “That’s what we’re here for. We don’t want those assholes taking the docks from us. I may not have been on board with this charter in the beginning, however, you’ve proven to be able to handle it when shit happens,” Hammer says.

  “Alright brothers, you know what you gotta do. I want everyone on standby just in case. Thorn, Rage, get with the others and figure your route and what the game plan is,” I say banging the gavel on the table.

  Getting up, I make my way out of church to find my woman. Not finding her in the main room, I head to our room to see if she is in there. I open the door to find her sitting in the middle of the bed with her laptop and headphones in her ears. As frustrating as it is to find her secluded, I’m turned on at how she looks. I make my way over to the bed; Izzy jumps when I pull out her headphones.

  “Holy hell, Jerod, are you trying to kill me? I swear you just cost me eight lives scaring the shit out of me,” Izzy screeches placing the laptop on the bed.

  “Babe, you would have heard me if you didn’t have the headphones in your ears. Why are you in here and not in the main room hanging out with the other women?”

  “I um, I needed some time alone. I can go out there now if you want me to,” Izzy murmurs her voice changing instantly from frustrated to pained when she answers.

  “What’s wrong, baby?” I pull her into me needing to feel her body against mine. I’ll never get enough of her. Whether it is sexual or not, I need to be able to touch some part of her.

  “It’s nothing, honestly. Come on, let’s go out there, I need to talk to Kenny and Lynsdey. I shouldn’t have come in here before talking to them.”

  “Babe, I swear to fuck, start talking. Tell me what the hell is goin’ on with you,” I demand.

  “I don’t know how to be an ol’ lady, Jerod. When we got back here and you introduced me to Hammer, I didn’t know what to say or how to act around him. It’s stupid really,” Izzy voice trembles.

  “You don’t have to do shit but be yourself. Do you realize that you are the most amazing person that I’ve ever met? Izzy, from the first day I met you, I knew how special you were going to be to me. You’ve overcome so much shit these past few months and have really started to show others the fire that I see in you all the time. Being an ol’ lady is just that, showing you care and are willing to be there when others need you,” I tell her as I look into her eyes.

  “I can do that.” Is all she says placing her head on my chest.

  “Now that we have that settled, let’s go drink, party, and have a good time with everyone out there,” I say giving her a smack on the ass.

  “Okay.”

  * * *

  Sitting at the table with Izzy on my lap, I listen to her and Kenny catch up. The way they talk you would never know they went months without speaking or had a fight. Kenny gets up and places my nephew in Izzy’s arms, telling her that J.C. has missed his Aunt. I hold Izzy to me as she snuggles the baby closer to her chest, her eyes shine with longing in them. I make up my mind that I want this for her, for both of us.

  “Baby, you want kids?” I ask looking down at my nephew thinking how lucky he is right now to be laying on Izzy’s tits. I’ve never been jealous of anyone, but I could be right now. I want to have those tits in my hands.

  “I haven’t thought of kids since before my brother died. I always wanted them though. Even though my mom and dad didn’t care too much for me, I know I would be a better parent then they were,” Izzy says softly not to spook the little boy.

  “Then let’s make a baby. I want a family with you, Izzy. Fuck, I want to give you the fuckin’ world,” I tell her giving her a kiss.

  “We can’t just have a baby. It takes time, planning, and I want to be married before kids come into my life. Plus, I need to figure out what I’m going to do for a job still.”

  “Baby, you don’t have to worry about marriage. I’ll marry you any time, day or night when you’re ready but I’m putting a baby in you as soon as I fuckin’ can,” I say against her lips loud enough for only her to hear me. “And as for a job, do whatever you feel like doing. You want to start your own company, do it. You want to stay home with our kid, do it. I’m not stopping you from doing a damn thing. I want you happy and I want you by myself, so you're marrying me and having my kid, got me?”

  “Okay. I accept your proposal but I’m not getting just any job. I want to flip houses. That’s what I want to do.” Izzy smiles as she leans in, taking my mouth in a demanding kiss.

  “Umm yeah, you two give me my kid before you smother him,” Kenny laughs taking J.C. from Izzy.

  “Sorry, Kenny,” Izzy says blushing. “I was just accepting your brother’s marriage proposal.”

  “What?” Kenny squeals out, giving the baby to Horse, who takes the poor kid as Kenny jumps out of her seat and hugs Izzy to her. “Oh my god, that means you won’t be just my best friend but my sister. We’re going to be fucking related.”

  “Congrats, man.” Horse smiles.

  “Thanks,” I grin pulling Izzy into me.

  “What’s going on?” Lynsdey says as she sits down with Anna Leigh, one of her and Thorn’s twins, in her arms.

  “Izzy and Twister just got engaged,” Kenny says.

  “Holy fuckin’ monkey balls. Congrats, Izzy. I’m so happy for you,” Lynsdey yells out startling the baby in her arms. “Oh, shit. I’m sorry, sweetie, mommy didn’t mean to scare you.” She soothes the little girl to keep her from getting upset.

  “Thank you, Lynsdey,” Izzy says with a bright smile on her face.

  “Well, I don’t know about you fuck heads, but I’m gonna take my woman to celebrate properly before Kenny gets any ideas about wedding planning in her head.” I stand, taking Izzy with me.

  “TMI, Twister. I don’t want to hear about you celebrating in any form. It’s bad enough I know you do it, but fuckin’ gross. Oh, we definitely need to figure out what type of wedding you guys want. Izzy, let’s start on that tomorrow since we can’t leave the clubhouse,” Kenny continues to ramble as I guide Izzy away from the table, not letting her respond.

  The moment we enter the room, I’m ripping her clothes from her body. Turning Izzy against the wall and lifting her body, I slam her down on my dick as she wraps her legs around my waist. I fuck her harder than I mean to. I’d wanted to take her slowly, but this woman has a way of taking all my control and having me snap. All she’s gotta do is look at me a certain way and I’m ready to take her at once. If she were anyon
e else, I’d even fuck her in front of my brothers.

  I have her coming around me within minutes, following her over the edge as her pussy clenches my dick. I yell out her name when I come, holding her to me. With my dick still deep in her, I carry Izzy over to the bed, sweeping everything off it as I lay her down.

  “Baby, don’t think I’m done with you. I plan on fuckin’ you into tomorrow when the sun comes up,” I murmur against her skin.

  “Bring it on, big boy, I’ve got all night,” Izzy giggles.

  “Challenge accepted, baby.”

  Holy shit, I didn’t know that my body could be as sore as it is right now. We finally passed out around five this morning, holding each other. I was shocked at his proposal last night even if it was more or less him telling me that we were getting married. It doesn’t matter how it happens only that I get to marry the man of my dreams.

  Getting out of bed, I shower and get dressed for the day. I want to finish putting together my plan for Letters From Above. Last night, before Jerod interrupted me, I’d submitted the forms to the government in order to start this charity. I believe it could really help those children out there that have lost a parent. Whether it be that the parent was killed in war or an accident, a child still feels the pain of not having their parent around. I want those kids to be able to overcome their grief.

  Making my way into the main room, I find Jerod sitting at a table with Hammer and a few other guys. When Jerod’s eyes catch mine, he motions me to join him. I start to shake my head and move to another table, but the narrowing of his eyes have me changing my direction.

  “Hey babe, what are you doing?” Jerod says pulling me down on his lap, eyeing my computer.

  “Nothing, I figured I would sit out here and work on my laptop.”

  “What is it your working on?”

  “Umm, nothing important really,” I say hugging my computer to my chest.
