I almost feel bad for this motherfucker—almost.
Chapter 16
Ghost
As soon as the meeting is adjourned, I head to my room in search of my woman. When I enter the room, panic takes hold, she’s not in bed or in the bathroom. I start to freak out and run out of the room in pursuit of her, she can’t be gone, no way I believe she’s left the compound. I tell myself trying to calm my racing heart down. Going through the common room I still don’t see her. So, I run through the dining room and into the kitchen where I find her preparing dinner. I nearly forgot what time it was and that she’s always making sure we’re fed at meal times. I give myself a verbal lashing at not using my head instead of letting my fear take hold. I couldn’t help myself after receiving the information I did during our meeting.
“Hey sweet cheeks, what’cha making?” I ask her as I come up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist.
She leans her head against my shoulder and asks, “Is everything okay?”
To which I reply, “Not yet, but it will be soon.”
“It’s not our friends, is it? That’s all I could think about is that something went wrong after we left.”
“No sweet cheeks, our friends are good, it’s something I can’t discuss right now, but when I can I’ll fill you in, I promise,” I reassure her, not wanting her to think for a second that something’s wrong with those she loves.
“I know you will, thank you, and to answer your question I’m just getting burgers ready to go on the grill. Tic wanted to grill out tonight and this is the fastest thing I could prepare,” she tells me as she turns around and gives me a quick kiss. She tries to pull away quickly which isn’t working for me. I pull her face back to mine and plant a proper kiss on her, once we separate I can see her chest rising and falling with anticipation.
“Later,” I tell her as I wash my hands to help her get the burgers ready.
Bristol
I know something’s going on, but I trust my man and know he’ll tell me when he can, so I enjoy him helping me with the burgers and put the rest out of my mind. We make a good team as we get thirty burgers ready to grill and I make some baked beans, potato salad and prepare some cupcakes for dessert. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that these guys have a sweet tooth, I make chocolate, red velvet cheesecake and vanilla cupcakes. I love to bake, it’s the one reprieve I had as a child and it’s followed me into adulthood.
I always hum when I cook or bake and didn’t realize until Ghost was smiling at me that I’m doing it now. I smile shyly at him since it’s the first time I’ve been lost in my activities around him. “Don’t stop on my account,” he tells me.
“It’s just that I don’t normally have an audience. It’s embarrassing for me to forget myself sometimes around you. I’ve never done that before, unless it was with our cook. Humming, singing, anything of joy wasn’t something allowed for me as a kid,” I tell him and start to feel a little sorry for myself.
“Sweet cheeks, there’s absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about here. Your humming and smile makes me feel like I’m doing something right. It means you’re happy here with me, with all of us.”
“I am, I really am Brady.” And it’s the truth, I don’t remember ever feeling so happy in my miserable life.
“Good, it’s my personal goal in life to see you smile every day and live life to the fullest. I’m so happy you’re here and that you’re mine,” he says to me, as he leans down and kisses my forehead. These little actions he does tells me how he feels more than his words ever will.
“I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us, for me,” I tell him and look up at him from my mixing bowl. I see him lost in thoughts with a frown on his face. I hope it’s not me or anything I’ve said, but those insecurities from childhood creep up on me and I wonder if I’m really what’s good for him.
“Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it?” I ask him to try to get to the bottom of what’s going through his head.
“All good sweet cheeks, we’ll talk later. Alright?”
“Sure, I’m all ears and will listen to anything you tell me and not share it with another soul…pinky swear,” I say to him with a wink. Where this false confidence is coming from I couldn’t tell you. Personally, I think I’m just trying to be cute so he won’t be mad at me. Not saying that he is, but the way he just spaced out has me a little concerned.
“Sweet cheeks look at me please.”
I do as requested not realizing that I’d looked away from him. “Nothing for you to worry about right now. I’ve got this covered, I promise to talk to you, later though, I want to enjoy tonight with you and our family.”
“Okay Ghost.”
“What happened to Brady?”
“Huh?”
“You heard me, you call me Brady when it’s just us. We’ve been over this, sweet cheeks.”
“Oh, sorry. I was lost in thought and didn’t think before I spoke. Are you mad at me?” I can’t help but ask. My nerves are frazzled and I need to know that it’s not me that has him in this mood.
“What the fuck? Why would you think that?” He looks truly confused by my question. It makes me stop and think, guess it wasn’t me after all.
“You just spaced out on me after I brought up our future, it just got me worried is all,” I tell him, speaking what was on my mind without a second thought.
“I spaced out because of something that came up in our meeting, sweet cheeks. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you. You know I can’t talk about this with you yet, but once I can I promise you’ll be informed. I promise.” I smile at him thankful to know that he doesn’t plan on keeping whatever is bothering him from me. At some point, anyways.
Chapter 17
Ghost
As the night wears on I’m anxious to find out what Tazer and Bomber have come up with. I can’t seem to tear myself away from Bristol’s side though. I have this feeling of impending doom and being away from her is the last thing I want to do. We’re all sitting outside by the campfire, I have Bristol in my lap and a beer in my hand. Listening to my brothers tell stories about their conquests and past indiscretions is enough to make me forget what’s going on, for now.
I look down at Bristol and notice she’s passed out. I decide to finish my beer then carry her into our room. She’s exhausted from the last couple of weeks and I want to make sure she gets plenty of rest tonight. I have plans for her in the morning, and she’s going to need all the rest she can get. Sitting my beer bottle down, I tell my brothers good night as I stand up with my girl in my arms. Life doesn’t get any better than this. I carry her through the clubhouse and into our room, my girl doesn’t even move a muscle. I get us into our room and lay her down, I start removing her clothing and she’s still out like a light, I can’t help but to chuckle at her lack of movement. I get her situated under the covers and rid myself of my own clothes.
I crawl in behind her and get her settled right next to me. Never thought I’d be the spooning type, but I can’t help but want her as close to me as possible. “Night sweet cheeks, rest well,” I tell her as I close my eyes and succumb to sleep. I wake the next morning with the sun beating down on my face and I want to go back to sleep. Only I can’t, I can’t because I’m thrown into the sweetest fantasy known to man. My dick is standing at attention and I have the most delicious mouth wrapped around my cock. Opening my eyes to that sight is one to beat all—I see Bristol’s head bouncing up and down and it’s enough to almost make me shoot my load instantly. Knowing that I don’t want to cum down her throat, I put my hands in her hair and remove her mouth from me.
“Not coming down your throat, beautiful, I want inside my pussy,” I tell her.
“You do, do you?” she asks me with a devilish look in her eyes.
“What are you up to, sweet cheeks?”
“Nothing Brady, I swear, I just woke up needing you.”
“You have me, you have all of me. Now scoot on up here and put tha
t pretty pussy around my cock and ride me like there’s no tomorrow.”
She slowly climbs up my body and I can’t help but look at her glorious tits as they sway on her ascent up my body. Once she gets into position I lift my upper body up and grab one of those delicious nubs with my mouth. I suck on it like it’s the last dessert on the planet and it’s all mine. She moans as I make out with my treat. Nipping the tip with my teeth I decide I need to show the other one the same amount of respect. I use my tongue and teeth, nipping and licking my way over. I grab her other nipple in my mouth and show it the same treatment. Then all the breath leaves my body since I wasn’t prepared for her to slam herself down on me.
Once I’ve recovered and take a deep breath I tell her, “Damn, sweet cheeks, you feel so fuckin’ good.”
“Uh huh,” she says to me as she rides me like I asked her to. Such a good girl I’ve got, she takes me places I’ve never dreamed of going when I’m inside of her. I grab her hair and pull her mouth down to meet mine. I put all my feelings into the kiss—love, sacrifice, protectiveness and devotion. I tell her all of this with my mouth and she returns the kiss with her own declarations. I can feel her love pouring through her and it makes me feel like I should puff out my chest and bang on it like Tarzan. I finally have my Jane and I’m never letting her go. We will swing through the jungle on our vines making our way through life together. Getting out of my head and back into the moment I am hypnotized by the bouncing of her breasts and the sounds coming from her mouth and realize I’m only seconds from blowing.
“Babe, how close are you? Don’t. Know. How. Much. Longer I can last!” I rush the last of the sentence out knowing that it’s coming quicker than I first anticipated. I’m having to hold my breath and think of anything other than her tight pussy wrapped around me. I need to make sure she gets at least one before I go.
“I’m there Brady, so close!”
Wanting to help her along I take my thumb and make circles with it around her clit which sets her off immediately. I happily follow her lead and let go myself. I see stars, blinding white lights and feel like I’m waiting on the room to stop spinning. She may just yet be the death of me.
“Best morning ever,” Bristol says as she recovers her breathing.
“I couldn’t agree more,” I tell her, and mean every single word.
Chapter 18
Ghost
The last couple of weeks have been busy, trying to get a lead on this son of a bitch that wants my Ol’ lady have been a pain in the ass. Every time we think we have a lead he’s already gone. It’s like he’s one step ahead of us at every turn. My brothers and I are getting really antsy in anticipation of what this weasel has planned. We don’t want any past mistakes to repeat themselves so Bristol has a shadow everywhere she goes, including the clubhouse and she’s getting pissed off and taking it out on everyone.
I can understand where she’s coming from since no one has told her exactly why she can’t even take a shit on her own. Her words not mine, but she’s right, we don’t let her move without someone being a pace behind her. I just can’t let her out of our sights, my gut says it doesn’t matter if she’s here behind the walls of our clubhouse, she’s not safe.
I know I need to sit down and tell her what’s going on, but I’m afraid she’ll get spooked and run off to Kid and the others. That’s something I just can’t allow to happen, I’m a selfish bastard and need her here with me. She starts school soon, and since she still can’t make up her mind on what she wants to do, she’s getting her basics started and out of the way. I’m so proud of her and know she needs her independence which means I’m going to have to tell her soon what’s going on or she’ll never understand why things are the way they are.
I can’t lose her, I won’t survive it—she’s the love of my life. For the first time ever I understand what it means—love. It’s been something I’ve thought of in passing but never thought it would be something that would happen for me. It’s something I thought I had before, but I was wrong. Love isn’t selfish, it’s understanding and patience. It’s kindness and tenderness, something I’ve never shown anyone else in my lifetime. Only Bristol has shown me what that is and what it means and I will give her every piece of myself.
Out of the blue I hear yelling coming from the kitchen so I get up from the bar and my musings and head that way to see what is going on. “I mean it, get away from me and let me breathe, I’m only making myself a sandwich for fuck’s sake,” I hear Bristol screaming. Upon entering the kitchen I see she’s standing toe to toe with Carson. He looks sick to his stomach like he doesn’t know which way to turn. He’s not a Proby any longer but he’s taken on the job of one, only because I trust him and know he would lay down his life for her. That’s why he’s her main shadow and no one else.
“Calm down, sweet cheeks, he’s only doing what he’s been ordered to do,” I tell her in defense of Carson.
“And why exactly would that be Ghost?” she sneers at me. Fuck that!
“Enough!” I boom out at her a little harsher than I intended, but damn that woman could suck the paint off the walls with her snippiness.
“You know what?” she says to me standing taller and puffing out her chest, which only brings my eyes to her tits. “Fuck you and fuck you,” she says first to me, then points at Carson. “I’ve had enough of this bullshit, either tell me what’s going on or leave me the fuck alone!” she screams at us as she stomps her way out of the kitchen, sandwich forgotten.
“Guess I’m making her something to eat then having a conversation I’m not ready for,” I mumble to myself not ready to have this talk.
“Good luck with that brother,” Carson says as he too stomps out of the kitchen. Guess everyone’s going to be a tit bag today. Not what I’m necessarily in the mood to deal with, but what else can I do? I can either not tell her and watch her pull away, or man up and deal with her hysterics and anger.
“Fuckin’ women,” I mumble to myself as I finish what she’s started, slapping some mayo and meat and cheese between two slices of bread while throwing my own temper tantrum. I toss her sandwich on a plate and grab a mini bag of chips and then grab a bottle of water, better make sure all my bases are covered before I go deal with the hornet’s nest that’s waiting for me in our room.
We’ve moved into our house, but I won’t let her stay there without me and bringing in one of the brothers is an act of congress. None of them want to deal with the fall out that is my Ol’ lady. She’s gotten pretty pissy with them when they refuse to leave or let her have her own way. Which is usually alone, she hates the feeling of being baby sat. A lot of that is due to her upbringing and the way she was treated growing up. I get a feeling of despair every time I think about how she’s been treated, it’s not that I’m trying to hurt her or infuriate her, I just want her safe.
Bristol
“Fucking hard-headed motherfuckers! All of them,” I mumble to myself as I slam the door to our room behind me. I’m so fed up and tired of this bullshit, I have to get permission for everything I do. It’s annoying the shit out of me and I’m ready for Ghost to either tell me what’s going on, or get everyone off my back. There’s only so much I can take before I lose it and I’m at my last string. Sitting down on the bed I decide to watch a little television to help soothe the temper and keep it from flaring and saying something I shouldn’t.
It’s not easy for me to sit back and relax these days. What I really want to do is give Brady a piece of my mind and I intend to do just that the next time we’re alone together. Tonight, it has to be tonight because I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I feel smothered and I hate that feeling, it reminds me of my childhood and the way someone was always watching over me. Telling me what I could and couldn’t do, it’s not setting well with me.

Wasp
Tic and Levi are out on a fact-finding mission today and I haven’t heard from them yet. This whole situation has the hairs on the back of my
neck standing on end. Who is this guy and why won’t he leave Bristol alone? There’s more to this story than we know and it’s time for Ghost to sit his girl down and find out if she knows something about this fucker. I don’t want anything happening to her, but this club’s safety is my responsibility, the lives of my brothers and their families is my top priority. We’ve been through enough over the last few years, my family has seen its breaking point. I won’t let the women in my life suffer any more than what they already have.
My phone rings and I see it’s Tic who’s calling. Finally! I know it takes time to get intel, but I feel like I’ve been sitting here twiddling my thumbs. I can’t stand to sit on my ass while my family may be in danger once again.
