Lily shrugs. “It’s just a thought. Innocent question,” she says.
I hear laughter from the doorway. “Lily, babe, quit torturing the poor guys,” Prez says with a shake of his head.
“We just came for breakfast,” I say throwing my hands up in the air.
“There is no such thing as ‘just breakfast’ in this clubhouse,” Ella says entering the room.
Lily nods her head in agreement.
“Well, it’s something I wanted to know too, but I didn’t want to ask. I’m glad that someone did. Now we don’t have to wonder,” Ella says with amusement in her eyes.
“Well now you know; let’s change the subject,” Bullet says trying to change the subject.
We sit down for breakfast until we have Church. Usually we have been having Church to find out if there is any progress on Cutter, but we haven’t found anything yet.
Bullet looks nervous though, and I wonder if he’s torn because the Wicked Dragons are leaving in a few hours.
We all get up and head to the room where we hold Church.
Firstly, we discuss how we haven’t found anything on Cutter yet. This has become our main topic of Church lately. Bullet was trying to help find him with the security footage Tech has managed to grab.
“Well there is one last item on the list and that’s to decide on Bullet,” Prez says looking at him.
“It’s known around here that he’s a Wicked Dragon and has shown loyalty to his club. What came unexpectedly was the relationship between Bullet, Pyro, and Krista. Before one of you claims her as an Old Lady, we have to discuss what your plan is,” he says, not taking his eyes off Bullet.
Bullet clears his throat. I’m tense. I didn’t expect this to happen so soon.
“Well, Krista has made a life for herself here. I didn’t see how much until we came back here. She loves it here and I can’t be the one to ask her to come back home or chose between Pyro and me,” he says.
Prez and Krista’s dad nod their heads like they had expected Bullet to say that.
“I don’t want to leave her. Plain and simple. I love the fuck out of her. She’s my woman, our woman, and I would do anything for her. Having her taken from me ripped me apart, and I don’t want to spend another day without her.”
Both presidents look at each other having a silent conversation.
“All those in favour of Bullet becoming a Vicious Snake and taking Krista as his Old Lady with Pryo, raise your hand,” Prez says.
I raise my hand with pretty much everyone in the room.
“You will always be my brother, but there’s something to be said about a man who is willing to do anything for his woman. I know that she’s in good hands with you two. You will always be a Dragon, but you can be a Snake too. You might not wear our patch, but you will be our brother at heart,” Krista’s dad says.
“We had this made because we had a feeling that this would be the outcome when you came home with Krista and Pyro,” Prez says.
Damien pulls out a Vicious Snakes cut with Bullet’s name and patch on it.
I can’t believe he did it but, then, I would have also done it too.
Bullet changed his cut, and Ink tells him to head to the shop right after so that he can give him a Vicious Snakes tattoo.
“Now, are you men going to claim Krista as your Old Lady?” Prez asks.
We both speak up that we are at the same time.
“Alright. Then we had this cut made too,” he says, surprising me.
It’s a woman’s vest with the club symbol and my and Bullet’s name on the back of it.
“You tell your woman and take her to the shop with you. Get that tattoo on her,” he says, and we both nod our heads.
Once we leave Church, we head out to my room. Krista is laying on the bed playing on her phone.
“What’s going on?” she says, sitting up straight.
“Well, Bullet is officially a Vicious Snake now,” I say gesturing to his new cut.
Krista’s eyes well up with tears and her chin starts wobbling. “Y-you changed clubs?”
Bullet looks at her with soft eyes. “Of course I did, baby. I’m not spending another day without you.”
“I can’t believe you did that. I would never ask you to leave the club. You love the club,” she states, and Bullet chuckles and looks at her like she’s crazy.
“Babe, I love you. Of course I would do anything for you. I can’t be a Dragon here. As you know, we don’t have a clubhouse in or around this area, but this life that you two had here before I came along is something worth keeping. I’ll always be there for the Dragons, but I need to be here with my woman. The Vicious Snakes are good men, and this is where we belong.”
She gets up and pulls him into a hard hug.
“We also have something for you,” I say, holding up the cut for her to take.
She takes it with a smile on her face.
“Oh my… You didn’t have to do this. You can’t take this back now; you do realize that, right?” she says with a huge smile breaking across her face.
“There isn’t any way that we would want to take it back, baby,” I say softly.
She moves towards me and kisses me hard on the lips.
The kiss quickly becomes heated as I take her ass in my hands and pull her closer to me. She locks her legs around my waist and Bullet moves behind her, kissing her neck.
“You’re our woman now. There isn’t any way we would let you go,” he says in her ear.
“We got to make this quick; we have to get you and Bullet some tattoos,” I say, my voice hoarse.
She nods her head and unwraps her legs from my waist to make quick work of taking her pants and underwear off.
“I’m ready,” she says, and I can’t help but let out a low chuckle at how eager and greedy she is for us.
“Lay back, baby,” I say as I remove my jeans.
Bullet takes his pants off too and moves to the other side of the bed.
When he moves to grab a condom, she shakes her head. “No, no condom. I’m your Old Lady now. I don’t want anything in between any of us.”
I still at her words. “Are you sure?” I ask.
“Yes, I’m completely sure,” she says.
She spreads her legs, unashamed.
I suck in a breath at the sight of how wet she is.
“Fuck baby. I’m going to take my time with you later,” I say as I stroke myself.
I climb on the bed and move between her legs.
I stroke her clit and push my finger inside of her. She gasps and fuck she’s wet.
I get to my knees and slowly sink myself inside of her.
Bullet pulls her head in for a hard kiss as his hand finds her nipples and starts pinching them.
I thrust into her hard and fast and bring a hand down to stroke her clit. It only takes a couple more thrusts before she’s clenching around me.
My hips still as I find my release and I’m breathing hard. Yeah, I’m going to be taking my time later, but we don’t have any time right now.
I move so that Bullet can move in between her legs, and I move to the side to kiss her.
She’s breathing hard and her skin is flushed; she looks so fucking beautiful.
I pinch her nipple hard.
“Give us another one, baby,” I say against her lips.
Bullet throws her legs over his shoulders to get her from a different angle, and she moans into my mouth.
“Fuck, fuck,” she chants against my lips.
His thumb finds her clit while he picks up the pace of his thrusts. “Come on, give me another one baby. Don’t hold back,” he says through clenched teeth.
She breaks our kiss and her mouth moves to my neck as I play with her nipples.
When she finds her release, she bites down on my neck hard. I don’t think she’s aware that she did it but that was hot as fuck, so I don’t mind at all.
“Damn, that was the best quickie ever,” she says with a smile.
“
Now, as much as I would love to lay with your naked body, Ink is waiting on us,” Bullet says.
“I’m getting my tattoo today too?” she asks excitedly.
“Yeah baby, I designed one for you not too long ago,” Bullet says pulling on his clothes.
I grab a cloth to quickly clean up Krista, and she runs into the bathroom to finish up.
She comes out with a huge grin on her face. You can tell that she’s excited to be marked as mine and Bullet’s.
“Well, I can’t wait to see it! Where am I getting it?” she asks as she pulls on her clothes.
“I was thinking her shoulder, how about you?” Bullet asks me, and I nod my head.
“Yeah that sounds perfect. She loves to wear tank tops, so it will be able to show if she’s not wearing her cut,” I say.
Krista nods her head in agreement.
“Okay, let’s do this,” she says as she leaves the room.
I chuckle and follow after her.
Chapter Eighteen
Krista
I watch as Blake gets a Vicious Snakes tattoo. He doesn’t flinch or anything, but that doesn’t surprise me with the amount of ink he already has on him.
We sit and talk to him while Ink is working.
Blake made it clear that he wanted to be the one to tattoo me, and I have no problems with that. It feels more personal having my man do it.
Declan went to get us something to eat once my stomach started making noises. Everyone had chuckled, and I let out an embarrassed laugh, but the point that we needed a food run had been made.
The shop isn’t too busy today, but Ink had informed us that he minimized the amount of appointments while I was taken and until this business with the Devil’s Souls is finished. If people didn’t want to wait for his work then he wasn’t going to lose sleep over it.
I could tell that he’s good at what he does. He has pictures of tattoos he has done, and he definitely has talent.
It’s not long after Blake’s tattoo is done that he gets his station ready for mine.
I’m excited. He hasn’t let me see it yet.
“Okay babe, I’m going to put it on. Do you want to see what I drew up, or do you want it to be a surprise?” he asks.
I look at him with soft eyes. I have no doubt that he came up with something amazing.
“A surprise. Do your thing, baby,” I say with a wink, and he chuckles softly.
Once he starts, I try to keep still. I mean, it’s my first tattoo. I had waited my whole life for the day that I would be marked. Growing up in the club, it was normal, and I had hoped that one day I would be someone’s Old Lady.
The pain isn’t too bad. It hurts, but I just talk to the guys so that I don’t have to concentrate on it.
“How ‘you doing?” Declan asks me.
I smile at him since he’s sitting in my view. “I’m great. I’m being claimed.”
His eyes darken with desire. When Bullet stops for a moment, I know that he has the same look on his face.
“Yeah you are, baby,” Declan says with a grin.
The heat never leaves his gaze and I know I’m in for a good night.
Every night with my men is a great night.
When Blake is finished and brings out a mirror for me to see, I suck in a breath at the sight of my tattoo.
Tears well in my eyes.
“It’s beautiful, Blake.”
The club symbol is in the middle of the tattoo, which is to be expected. I have seen Ella, Olivia, and Sophie’s tattoos. Theirs have their men’s names across the bottom.
Pyro’s name is written across the top and Bullet’s name is on the bottom. It’s so beautiful. In the middle is a picture of bike handlebars. On one end there’s a dragon’s head with a bullet in its mouth, and on the other end is a snake’s head breathing out fire. In the middle where the handlebars are connected is a princess crown. There is a jewel in the middle of the crown in the shape of the letter “K.” It’s absolutely stunning.
I let Blake wrap it up. My tears are trying not to fall the entire time, but I have never been this happy.
When we get back, I put a tank top on and wait until Blake says that I can remove the wrapping to show everyone my tattoo.
Ella gets teary eyed. “I knew this would happen from the moment you left Pyro’s hospital room blushing. It’s about damn time!”
I can’t help but chuckle.
Pyro was the first man I was attracted to that wasn’t Bullet. From the moment I had laid eyes on him, I thought that he was gorgeous and wanted anything he would give me. I had felt the exact same way about Bullet.
Everyone celebrates Bullet joining the club in addition to him and Pyro claiming me as an Old Lady.
The club will find any reason to party.
Camilla still hasn’t left Derek’s side at the clubhouse.
We are on the opposite side of him and the higher ranks.
I’ve been waiting since she got out of the hospital to talk to her. Lily just told me that she doesn’t want to see anyone right now.
I really hope that I can find a way to help her.
I talk to Sophie about having a girls’ evening, if Camilla comes for at least some girl talk that would awesome.
Ella overhears and suggests using her room since it’s bigger because of the kids. Since we are on lockdown, we can’t go out.
Once we all agree, we plan to have it that weekend.
I am already making a list of booze and junk food in my head.
This girls’ night is going to be filled with some serious girl talk and a lot of shots.
Chapter Nineteen
Krista
A few days later…
The night is finally here. We planned for the men to watch the kids in the main room while we did our girl talk, snacking, and boozing in Ella’s room.
Lily and Sasha were all for it and said that they would make sure that Camilla showed up. I let them know that Camilla doesn’t have to share anything that she doesn’t want to, but we are all here for each other.
Thankfully, Camilla is walking in the door as I set up the blender on the dresser. Any chance to stay in the room, the better. I’m not missing out on anything because I have to make more daiquiris.
“Have a seat. Krista was about to make daiquiris. You want one?” Olivia asks. Camilla nods her head slightly.
Once all the women settle around the room on the chairs we each brought in, we start with the small talk.
Camilla is obviously nervous.
“Well, tell us about you and your men,” Ella says with excitement in her eyes. All the other women perk up at her question and I can’t help but laugh.
“From the beginning?” I ask.
They all nod their head eagerly.
“Well, I didn’t think that Bullet was going to go against my dad and the club for me, and I was tired of being alone, so I did the only thing that I could think to do at the time. I ran. But the club life was never far from my mind. It was and has always felt like a place where I belonged. When I met Olivia and she got together with Steal, I knew that he was with the Vicious Snakes who were friends, not rivals, with my father’s club. I didn’t think that anything bad would happen if I enjoyed some of the life but still chose to hide,” I say.
“The beginning of my relationship with Pyro was so up in the air that I didn’t think that anything would come from it. I was surprised when he showed up at the club with the intention to claim me as his woman. I had never been more hopeful. I wanted the love that all of you have with your men.”
Lily nods her head. “When these men love, they do it with everything they have.”
“That’s the truth. I didn’t think that I could fall in love after I lost Jeff but, slowly, Damien stole my heart,” Ella says with a sigh.
“When Steal came into my life, I didn’t think anything of it, except that my son would have his father in his life, but he came and won me over. Sure, we had our problems, but I think it has made us stronger,”
Olivia says with a nod.
I look at Sophie with a raised eyebrow. She blushes. “Trigger is amazing. I didn’t stand a chance once he decided that I was going to be his woman.”
“Bear took me by surprise too but, honestly, I didn’t think that this life was for me in the beginning and I resisted as long as I could. Damn, that man knew how to win my heart. I tried to push him away when I couldn’t have kids,” Sasha says with a smile.
“See, they are all great men. I couldn’t wait until I found my one, but I guess I found two and I’m happier than I have ever been,” I say.
We all take a shot to our men with smiles on our faces.
Camilla lets out a sigh. “That’s wonderful. It’s very rare that a love like that exists, but you all found it.”
We all nod, and everyone starts talking about what we love and what bugs us most about our men.
I look at Camilla with a smile. She looks less nervous now than when we started. I had just wanted her to relax.
“How have you been?” I ask softly.
She smiles softly. “Alright. I have had both some tough days and some good moments, but it’s going to be a long journey before I’m healed. I’ll get there. I had lost hope while I was in that place. I didn’t think that I would ever come out alive. Now that I’m finally out, I feel like this completely different person.” I nod my head.
“I miss my family and friends, but I’m not ready to contact them yet or go home. I know that I can’t go home until this is over anyway, but I wish I could let them know that I am okay,” she says softly, tears gathering in her eyes.
“Would you like us to get a message to someone? Is there someone you trust that won’t tell anyone where you are; you know, in case anything bad happens?” Lily asks softly.
“Yeah. My twin brother Xavier. He’s probably worried sick about me,” she says with a small smile, probably thinking about her brother.
Lily nods and writes his information down.
“Did you want to do it later, or I could try right now. He can hear from you as long as we know you trust him.”
Camilla nods, “Yeah, we can do it now.”
“Okay, let me get Derek and he can listen. Sorry to do that, but he’s already protective of you,” Lily says, and Camilla gives her a look of understanding.
