“Wrath, we can talk… later,” Sierra said. “Just put me down.”
“I’m not fuckin’ lettin’ you out of my sight again,” Wrath avowed.
“I’m here for a week, you big lug. I promise I won’t leave again without saying goodbye.”
Wrath adjusted her on his shoulder, giving her butt a hard smack.
“Honey, seriously,” Sierra rasped. “I can’t breathe. Let me down.”
Honey?
Well, this just got interesting. The pain in my leg was quickly forgotten as I watched the drama unfolding in front of me.
“Please,” she begged, and Wrath lowered her gently to the ground, but did not release her completely.
“You fuckin’ left,” he accused.
She nodded. “I know. I didn’t have a choice. Let’s get through today and we can talk.”
He scowled, and Sierra laid her hand on his chest. “I’m not going anywhere for the moment. I promise, we’ll talk.”
Before I could see Wrath’s response, Jekyll appeared in front of me, and I looked up at him. “Hey.”
“Hey, baby. Enjoyin’ the show?”
“Well, I was. But you’ve interrupted my programming with your sexy ass instead.”
He chuckled. “Come on. We’re heading back to the club to drink.”
“Do you happen to have any ibuprofen?”
He frowned. “You bad?”
“Little bit, yes.”
He slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out a pill. “I grabbed one of your Vicodin.”
“Bless you,” I said, taking it without water.
He cupped my face. “Don’t wait next time, got it?”
I gripped his wrists. “Yes sir.”
He kissed me quickly, then helped me to my car and drove us both back to the club.
* * *
Jekyll picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and I couldn’t stop a guffaw of laughter. It was almost midnight, and I was tipsy, bordering on drunk, after an afternoon and evening of food, drinks, and general mayhem as we all let off steam after the funeral.
“I’m gonna be sick, honey,” I warned, and Jekyll shifted me, so he was cradling me rather than carrying me like a sack of potatoes.
“Better?” he asked.
“Yes,” I said, looping my arms around his neck. “Thank you.”
He grinned, kissing me as he climbed the stairs up to his room.
“Tomorrow do I get to drive your bike?”
“What the fuck?” he asked.
I chuckled. “I knew that would get your attention. I want you to teach me to ride.”
“The only thing you’ll be doin’ on my bike is ridin’ bitch, baby.”
I wrinkled my nose. “That seems rude.”
We arrived at his room, and he set me on my feet. “If you want to learn to ride, GoGo, I’ll teach you, but it won’t be on my bike.”
“Why not?” I asked as he locked us into his room.
“Because no one rides my bike but me. More than that, however, if you can’t pick it up, you can’t ride it, and my bike weighs more than I do, so that’s not an option for you.”
“I’m strong.” I held my arms up and flexed like a body builder which made him laugh.
“I don’t doubt it, baby, but let’s find you a bike that you’ll feel more comfortable on.”
“So, you’re not saying no?”
“Why would I say no?” he challenged, removing his cut, and folding it neatly over a chair.
I shrugged. “You’re all alpha, so I wasn’t sure.”
He slid his hand to my neck and tugged me forward, kissing me gently. “I’ll move heaven and earth to make you happy, baby, so if you want to ride, I’ll teach you to ride.”
My hands went to his belt, and I unbuckled it, moving my hand under the waistband of his jeans. “Right now, you’re the only thing I want to ride.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah,” I parroted. “So, get naked and assume the position. I’m going to taste every inch of you.”
“Oh, really?” He pulled his shirt over his head, and I grinned.
“Really.”
We didn’t go through the trouble of undressing each other, rather we stripped as fast as we could, and I pushed him onto the bed, straddling him. “You have to let me finish, capisce?”
“Depends on how long you take.”
“Ah… no.”
“Ah… yeah.”
I rolled my eyes. “Hyde, my plan is to swallow, so you have to let me get that far.”
“I have never stopped you from doin’ whatever you want to me.”
“Bullshit,” I argued.
“Baby, I can’t—”
“Hyde, how much noise do you want to make before you realize you’re wrong?” I hissed out. “Just shut your pie hole and let me suck you off.”
He raised an eyebrow, then smiled slowly and spread his arms wide. “Yes, ma’am.”
“Thank you,” I said, leaning down and kissing his pulse. “You smell so good. You always smell so good.” I ran my tongue over his collar bone.
His hands moved to my ass, but I slapped them away. “No touching.”
“Jesus, I can’t touch you?”
I met his eyes. “Nope.”
“You’re askin’ too much, GoGo.”
“It’ll be worth it,” I retorted.
His arms spread again, so I figured my full body taste was gonna have to wait. He’d never be patient enough to wait that long.
I headed south, his cock already hard and ready. “You have the best looking dick.” I wrapped my lips around the tip, then took him further into my mouth.
Jekyll lifted up slightly and I wrapped my hand around the base of his dick, moving my mouth up and down slowly. Apparently, it was too much for Jekyll and I found myself lifted and dropped onto the bed with my ass in the air.
“Hey!” I snapped. “I wasn’t done.”
He slid into me from behind and as much as I didn’t want to admit it, he effectively shut me up. I braced myself on all fours and he slammed into me twice before sliding his hand between my legs and fingering my clit. I pressed back against him, and he kissed me between my shoulder blades. “You were sayin’?”
“You’re the devil.”
He buried himself deep again. “That is correct.”
I didn’t have any sass left in me as he began to move again. Harder and harder, faster and faster, until an orgasm hit me, and I fell onto the bed. He fell with me, keeping his hand on my clit which meant the mattress pushed his fingers against my body and riled me up all over again.
“Hyde,” I panted out and he moved again, slamming into me over and over until we both came, then rolling us to our sides in spoon fashion.
“Oh my god, I love you,” I whispered.
He kissed my neck. “Love you too, baby.”
“We need to do this every day.”
He laughed. “Honey, we do do this every day.”
“Oh, right. Well, let me specify. I want you to fuck me from behind every day.”
“I’ll be sure to take that under advisement.”
“Thank you. I promise my Yelp review will be positive if you make that happen.”
“Jesus.” He busted out laughing. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Pulling out of me, he stepped into the bathroom and grabbed a warm washcloth which he used to clean me up and then he pulled me under the covers and wrapped his arms around me. “Sleep, baby. We gotta get Mina early.”
“Do you think Wrath and Sierra hashed things out?”
I’d met Sierra and then Wrath had dragged her away and I hadn’t seen her again for the rest of the night. I was dying to know what the deal with them was, but unfortunately, no one seemed to be openly sharing, so I was left to wonder.
“Go to sleep, GoGo.”
“But—”
“Indigo, it’s none of our business. Go. To. Sleep.”
“Fine.” I kissed his chest. “’Night, honey.”<
br />
“Night.”
* * *
We woke up a little earlier than expected, and despite the copious amount of alcohol I’d drunk the night before, I felt pretty good. I wrapped my arms around Jekyll and leaned up on my tiptoes to kiss him.
“What was that for?” he asked.
“Well, one, I love you, and two, thank you for making me hydrate and not mix my alcohol last night. I feel great.”
He chuckled. “You’re welcome.”
We headed downstairs and Jekyll paused at my door. “You need a bigger car.”
“Why?”
“Because when we get married and adopt Leo, Bri, and Mina, you’ll need something big enough to fit everyone. I think we should keep your car for when Leo’s drivin’—”
I gasped, grabbing his cut before promptly bursting into tears. “Say that again.”
“We’re gonna elope—”
“Not that!” I snapped, tugging on his cut.
He smiled gently, cupping my face. “We’re gonna adopt Leo, Bri, and Mina.”
“Yeah, that,” I said, sobbing into his chest. “You’d really do that for me?”
“Baby, I’m doin’ it for me, too.” He slid his hand to my neck and squeezed. “I never thought I’d be one who liked kids, let alone, loved them. But those three have fuckin’ changed my mind.”
“And me. I’ve changed your mind, too, right?”
“You changed my heart, baby, and that’s the biggest miracle of all.”
I laughed through my tears as he leaned down to kiss me.
“Now, let’s go get our kids,” he said.
“Okay.”
I climbed into the car and reached for his hand as we drove.
My heart was full, and my world was perfect.
Indigo
Two years later…
I set the stepstool on the floor of our brand new, blinged-out closet, and raised one foot just as Mina bellowed, “Mama!”
“In here!” My heart sang at the sound of her little voice, and I walked back into my bedroom to find her flopping onto my bed.
Jekyll had built us the most amazing home in Colorado Springs with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a den, and a full basement that was perfect for a kid’s playroom. It also had an area that was unfinished, and Jekyll suggested we turn it into a place for my dad and his new wife if they ever got to the stage where they needed it.
Jekyll’s capacity for love seemed to multiply every day, and I was so proud to call him my husband.
“What’s up, Buttercup?” I asked, as Mina sat up and huffed. She was about to turn nine and her little girl attitude was always pegged to eleven.
“When’s Dad gonna be home?”
I cupped her chin. “In about an hour. Why?”
She shrugged.
“What’s going on in that brave and pretty head?”
“I need to talk to Dad.”
“If you have it in your mind that Daddy’s going to beat the crap out of someone for you, I’d stow that.”
She rolled her eyes. “No, it’s not that. He’s already scared Trevor’s dad so bad, all the boys avoid me now.”
Mina had a run-in with a bully and since it was illegal for Jekyll to threaten a minor, he threatened his dad instead and Mina was suddenly no longer harassed… by anyone.
“He’ll be happy to know that.”
“I’m not gonna have to move out, right?” she whispered.
“What? No! Why would you think that?”
“Because you’re gonna have a baby.”
“Which means, you’re gonna have another brother or sister.”
“But it’ll be your real kid.”
“Honey, you’re my real kid. Just like Bri and Leo,” I crooned, stroking her cheek. “Nothing and no one’s ever going to take you away from me and Daddy. We’ve got the paperwork that ensures that.”
“So you won’t stop loving me?”
“Holy crap, no way.” I lifted her chin to meet her eyes. “I love you with my whole heart and nothing will ever change that. And you know for a fact Daddy will protect all of us, so we always stay together.” I settled my hands on my belly. “This baby just multiplies the love, honey. And I know you’ll be the best big sister, ever.”
“But Bri’s the best big sister, ever.”
I grinned. “You’re right, she totally is. And now you’ll get the chance to be just like her.”
“I really like my room.”
“Oh, I get it,” I said, sitting beside her and wrapping my arm around her waist, pulling her close. “Your room is your room, baby girl. No one will ever make you give it up. It’s why Daddy built such a big house.”
“Where the hell is everyone?” Jekyll growled, stalking into the room.
“Daddy!” Mina squealed, making a run for him.
He caught her, lifting her high so she could wrap her legs around him. “Hey, Mouse. Did you drive your brother and sister away already?”
“Leo took a girl out and Brianna’s at Auntie Bellamy’s for a sleep over.”
This was my new hell. Leo was dating and using my car to drive them around. My only solace was that Jekyll was teaching him how to be an amazing and respectful human, and I embarrassed the hell out of him every day reminding him to use condoms. I did not need to be a grandma at thirty.
Leo was also making much better friend choices since Chucky had ‘chosen’ to move to Portland to start a new life. Jekyll had organized a chance for him to prospect for the Dogs of Fire MC out there, and from all accounts, Chucky was thriving.
“You mean, Mama and I get you all to ourselves?” he asked, hopefully.
“Only if we can have ice cream,” she bargained.
“I think we can make that happen,” he said.
“After dinner,” I added, and Mina hugged Jekyll again before he put her down. “Remember, Grandpa and Martha are coming over for dinner and you still need to clean your room. So, how about you go take care of that before we eat?”
“Okay, Mama.” She rushed off to do her chores, and I wrapped my arms around my man.
“You’re home early.”
“Last client bailed,” he said. “No refunds.” He nodded toward the door. “Mina okay?”
“She’s afraid the baby will change things.”
I filled him in on the whole conversation and he sighed.
“It’s good we can spoil her a bit tonight then, huh?”
“Very,” I agreed.
“How are you feeling?” he asked, stepping into the closet.
“I’m good.”
“Why is this stool here?”
“I needed—”
“Indigo,” he growled. “We talked about this.”
“I can get up on a stepstool without killing myself, Hyde.”
“I’d rather you wait and let me get you whatever you need.”
“I just need the Christmas bedding. It’s in the big box on the right.”
He reached up and pulled the box down. He was tall enough, he didn’t need the stepstool, and he carried it out of the closet, setting it on the bed.
“What’s this?” I asked, lifting a padlock out of the box.
“That’s the padlock I took off the door.”
“The door?”
Jekyll had mentioned he’d had to pick a lock or two to get to Mina and her friends, but I didn’t realize he’d held onto it.
“Yeah.”
“Why did you keep it?” I asked.
“Because one day, she’s gonna need it to remind her that I’ll do anything to protect her. But more importantly, that lock signifies she has the power over her life, and no one can ever take it away from her again,” he said. “No one will take it away from any of them.”
The rest of the girls were still at Walker House and getting the counseling and support they needed to heal. None of them wanted to be put into the adoption system, so they were welcome to stay as long as they wanted, particularly since the Howlers had done even more renovations (w
ith more of Cliff’s money), and we had another ten beds.
“Oh my god,” I breathed out. “You are the best human on the planet.”
He chuckled, leaning down to kiss me, sliding his hands to my butt. “Back atya.”
“Thank you for being you.”
“That’s all you,” he said with a grin. “You make me who I am, baby.”
“I think we make each other,” I countered. “We’re a fucking good team.”
“Hell, yeah,” he agreed, kissing me again.
“I love you more than ice cream,” I said.
“That would be more of an impact coming from Mina,” he pointed out, and I laughed.
“This is true.”
He kissed me again, and we headed downstairs to get dinner ready.

Jekyll
“Push, baby,” I encouraged as Indigo let out a groan and pushed with all her might.
“We just need to get these shoulders out and you can hug your baby,” the doctor said. “One more big push and he’ll be here.”
I wiped Indigo’s forehead and kissed her temple. “You’ve got this, beautiful.”
She took a deep breath, and let out another grunt, delivering our baby boy into the doctor’s waiting hands. She cleaned him up, then set him gently on Indigo’s chest and I took in the miracle that was Gray Hugh Roberts.
“Oh my god,” Indigo breathed out, stroking his perfect little cheek. “We made that.”
I blinked back tears. “We made that.”
“BTS and Ed Sheeran made a baby,” she whispered.
“What the fuck?”
Indigo laughed. “Something Bellamy said a long time ago because she’s kind of stupid, but kind of right at the same time.”
“Well, that pretty much sums her up, so I’ll let it slide.”
A nurse came to Indigo’s other side. “We’re going to get his weight and height and finish cleaning you up, then we’ll give him back.”
“Okay,” Indigo said, reluctantly releasing Gray.
I followed the nurse to the other side of the room and once they were done poking and prodding him, they let me hold him for a few precious minutes. “Hey there, son. I’m your daddy. And you have the best mama on the planet. You have two big sisters and a big brother and they’re gonna love you almost as much as I do.”
I kissed his cheek and carried him back to Indigo who was already blubbering as I settled him to her chest. “Oh my god, there isn’t going to be another person in the world who will be loved as much as you,” she breathed out, kissing his cheek.
