Beginning of the Reckoning (Feral Steel MC Book 3)

by Vera Quinn

  “What are you doing here Dra?” That’s when I notice the woman that steps around Dra so she can be seen. I need to go. I can’t breathe. This is my worst nightmare.

  “Is that any way to welcome an old friend?” Dra says with his eyes going between me and Callie. This is not good. Dra needs to leave. “I was here to talk to Devil, but he is busy right now, so I thought I would bring Sunshine to meet everyone.” Kellan walks into the room. Callie looks at her boys.

  “Kellan take your brother to your room and play in there. Can you do that for mama?” Kellan walks up to Callie and she sets Killian down beside Kellan. “Is that little man? He is getting so big ,” Dra says looking at Kellan. Dra is one of Kellan’s godfathers. I guess they haven’t seen each other in a while. Devil doesn’t like Dra around Callie very often. It’s a long sad story. Kat walks in with B and my heart stands still.

  “I’ll take them up ,” Kat says. Dra is staring at me and B, so is Sunshine. Callie doesn’t let it go the way I have been praying for her to. She just doesn’t realize the can of worms she is going to open.

  “Cat got your tongue Dra?” Callie asks in a hateful tone. It’s like Dra has been slapped.

  “What the hell bitch? Do not talk to my man like that!” Sunshine says and Callie laughs. It looks like Dra has not filled Ms. Sunshine in on my sister’s temper. “Dra get your house mouse out of my house and while you are at it, go with her!” Callie is seething and I know this is my fault but I don’t know how to stop it without Dra finding out about B.

  “I’m not his house mouse, bitch. I’m his ol’ lady.” I look at Sunshine and my heart breaks again. Of course, she is his ol’ lady. She is beautiful just like Dra. Sunshine is everything I am not. She’s tall and has long tan legs that go on forever and has the shiniest dark hair I have ever seen. It is cut short and shaved on one side. Her hips are slender like mine will never be again since being pregnant. She is showing plenty of cleavage and her flat toned stomach is on full display in her short crop top. Yes, Sunshine fits Dra’s life.

  “She’s mine?” Dra asks quietly. I have tears running down my cheeks. Callie looks at me and I see when understanding seeps in. Something flickers in her eyes, but it is gone as fast as it appeared.

  “You have my man’s daughter and didn’t tell him? What a cunt!” Sunshine yells at me.

  “Is she mine?” Dra yells. B starts to cry. I try to sooth B, but I look at Dra. I can’t find my voice to speak.

  “Yes.” I can barely hear my own answer. Sunshine grabs for me but Callie steps in my way and Bo steps up behind Dra. “Bo get these two out of here ,” Callie says and pushes Sunshine back. Sunshine turns on Callie and that is when my sister pushes her out the door. I don’t know what is happening because my eyes are on B and then Dra. I feel someone come up behind me.

  “Get your woman and get gone before I put you all to ground and you can bet that Devil will be dealing with your ass,” Bourbon says. My eyes go to Callie and she is on top of Sunshine. She’s not hitting her but she has her arms pinned so she can’t move.

  “I’ll go , but Maddie, I will be back for answers. You damn well better be ready to answer them and you damn well better be here! I’m contacting a lawyer,” Dra yells at me. Bo helps Callie up and grabs Sunshine.

  “Are you going to let these people treat me this way Dra?” Sunshine asks him . “Shut it woman!” Dra looks to her and then back at me. “What is her name?” “Betsy but I call her B,” I tell Dra.

  “You named my daughter after Grams?” I knew Dra loved his Gram so I used her name so at least B would have part of her dad. Dra has tears in his eyes. “Be ready Maddie and be ready for me to take my daughter.”

  “Is that a threat?” Bourbon asks. “Take it any fucking way you want old man,” Dra fires back at Bourbon and then he looks at Sunshine. “Bike now.” Sunshine doesn’t hesitate. Then Dra looks at Callie. “I never knew the real you, did I?” Dra doesn’t wait for an answer. He walks to his bike and mounts it. Sunshine pulls herself closer to Dra on the bike and they are gone. Callie walks in the house. Bo looks at me.

  “Never a dull minute around here ,” I hear Bourbon laugh. He walks over by Callie and I shut the front door. I look at Callie and I can see the disappointment in her eyes.

  “He’ll be back. You better be ready,” Bourbon says.

  “I’m going to take B and let her nap for a while.” I just need some time to think.

  Five weeks later

  The last few weeks have been long days working to get our businesses back on track and trying to get a lead on King and Lisa. It’s like the two of them and whoever the other two men were just disappeared. I know it is just a matter of time before they rear their ugly heads but the Feral Steel have become stronger now. We are not relaxed with our heads in the clouds. We know we have more than one enemy out there and we are ready to meet them head on. We are keeping our family safe and prospering. I am worried about my brother, Tito. He keeps his days busy on his computer looking for anything that will get us a lead and he is making progress. He found Lisa’s bank account. There wasn’t a lot left there but Tito transferred what was left to the Flowers family. He was also able to see some of the places she has used her plastic and we know she is making her way back south so we are ready. Rome and Tara are still grieving but each day they seem somewhat better. Joy told me that as soon as the doctor gives them the green light they are going to try again for a baby. I’m not sure I could be that strong but I am watching to see how it turns out. I still miss the open road and I have the yearning to hit the highway. I’ve talked to Tito some more about the nomad situation and I think we could make it work between four of the clubs but I am not sure about the Colorado club. Things have been strained between the clubs since Maddie and B took off in the middle of the night with Kat’s help. We will need to watch that situation. I talked with Joy about going nomad and she is ready to get on the back of my bike and hit the road. That’s my woman. I know one day, Joy is going to want that family but being nomad is not a life commitment, just until we have a reason to stay in one spot and put down roots.

  Speaking of my woman, I have been laying here in our bed in our apartment. Yes, we did all get to go home and this apartment gives us more privacy and I like having Joy to myself more than I thought I could any woman. Thoughts of Joy consume me during the day when we are away from each other and the thought of any other man touching what is mine sends me into a blind rage so by the time we return to the apartment I am ready to ravish and taste Joy until the early morning hours. To bring both of us pleasure until we have no energy left and we fall into blissful sleep in each other’s arms but I don’t let Joy know how she owns me. I need to keep her on her toes but if she doesn’t bring her ass out of that bathroom I am going to kick the door in. I look up as I see the door open and there stands my woman as naked as the day she was born. I know Joy’s mind has been in the same place mine has. She leans on the door jamb and cocks her hip out and I can’t get enough. “Come here sugar, you look good enough I need to taste you.” That makes Joy smile.

  “You think I am a sure thing, do you? What if I have a headache tonight?” Joy never turns down a chance to have my cock but I’ll play along. “I’d say I have a tongue depressor with some Tylenol on the end of it. Open up and I’ll make you all better.” Joy prisses her way over to me swinging her ass around as she comes to the bed. When she is in arm’s reach I grab her and pull her over my body so her back hits the mattress. I devour her mouth, pushing my tongue into her mouth and mouth fuck her until she is breathless and she is trying to reach for me but I don’t let her hands reach my cock. That would make this way too fast. I want to taste my woman. I am addicted to her sweet nectar. I move down her body kissing my way and dragging my tongue between her juicy tits. I know she wants me to take her nipples in my mouth but I keep moving south down her belly. I position myself between her legs and widen her legs so I can see the lips of her sex. I widen her more and take my hands and move her lips
apart. I run my nose from her glistening pussy to her hardened nub. I flatten my tongue and run it over her clit slowly. I put two fingers in her pussy and feel how wet Joy has become. I move my fingers easily in out of her from her juices. I flick my tongue faster and then slowly suck her clit into my mouth with just enough pressure and then flicking my tongue over the swollen nerves. Joy is writhing and grabbing the sheets in her hand. I feel her muscles flutter but this is not how this is going to end. It’s just the beginning. I will have my cock buried in Joy when she comes. I see Joy has her eyes closed and she has a slight sheen of sweat covering her tits. I move up fast and push my cock inside Joy before she knows what I am doing. I hear her surprise. Joy’s pussy is milking my cock with every stroke. Joy brings her legs up around my waist and squeezes and I think she is going to make me cum just from the tightening around the head of my cock. I pull almost all the way out and thrust back in her so hard I think I can feel her womb.

  “Damn sugar, you feel good,” I moan in a deep voice I don’t even recognize. “Harder, fuck, I need more,” Joy moans. I give my girl what she needs and I feel when she ignites around me. I almost can’t stop. I stop pushing in and put my hand between us and rub on her clit until Joy comes down from her orgasm. When her muscles have stopped clenching so tight, I move again. I begin with long slow strokes. I see Joy has opened her eyes.

  “You didn’t scream my name sugar.” Joy smiles and she rolls me over and I let her. “My time to ride.” Joy sits up straight and starts to grind on me and then lifts herself up and slams back down. Joy brings her hands up to her tits and starts pinching her nipples between her fingers as she grinds down on me and then back up.

  “That’s right sugar, play with my beautiful tits.” Joy’ s hands are running over her tits. I can see her hands are sliding easier from the sweat on her body. I arch my back off the bed to meet Joy’s body making the penetration deeper. “Shit, oh yeah like that.” Joy’s hands trail down her body and her middle finger is playing with her clit. I buck up and then back down. I feel the tingle crawl up my back and my balls start to draw up. Then Joy rotates around cowgirl style so her ass is in my face. Joy has picked up her pace and I know I am not going to last much longer. She is a woman on a mission. “Damn!” Joy is sliding her body where only my head is left in her drenched pussy and then slams down hard. I see she is playing with her clit and I feel her pussy muscles begin to clench again. I lick my finger in my mouth and work the tip into her ass. Joy goes wild and when she goes down to grind on me I push my finger deeper in her ass and I feel her ignite and I follow her in my own release.

  “Heath, oh god it is so damn good!” I remove my finger and pull her hips down on me and she swivels her hips and I feel my seed release into Joy. I wish I could sleep with my cock in this woman. I roll her over and get up and go to the bathroom and get a damp towel in the laundry basket and throw it on the cabinet and then wash my hands. I turn and go back in the bedroom and crawl back in the bed. Joy is still in the same position. I reach over and turn her around and she is smiling. “Damn Heath, you broke me and I refuse to move.” She sounds so sleepy. I give her the towel and she wipes herself and hands it back to me and I throw it at the basket in the corner.

  “I do believe you were the one doing all the moving the last time. Now come here woman and give me those lips so your man can get some sleep. We both have work early.” Joy rolls closer to me and I bring her into my arms and Joy lies her head on my chest where she will sleep until I start to snore too loud. Yes, my woman even loves me when I snore.

  “Are we going to grow old together Heath?” Joy asks me and I look at her and pull her chin up to me and kiss her softly on the lips. “Su gar, we went through the beginning of the reckoning together and you didn’t run for the hills. I love you with all my heart but no one is promised tomorrow. I will be with you until my days are over or until you run my ass off. Now give me those lips and let’s get some sleep.” That’s all I can say on it. I feel like we did go through hell to get where we are now and I still lie to the woman I love. I wouldn’t leave even if she did try to run from me.

  The end for now…

  Things to come:

  Beginning of the Reckoning brought back ghosts from Devil and Callie’s past but there is more to come of the Feral Steel MC series. I have at least two more books in the Feral Steel series to write. I have no timeline for release dates since life always seems to get in the way of my schedule. All I can say is they are in my schedule for 2018/2019.

  Beginning of the Wrath will be book four in the series and it will be Bo’s story. Beginning of Eternity will be a return to Rome and Tara’s storyline and Joey’s story. For my Demented Revengers MC: Quitman Chapter series some things are changing. Surviving Until the End is the next book but it is the entire Demented Revengers MC all chapters and after that I will go back to the Quitman Chapter for

  Surviving the Chaos of Life which you will get an update of Rebel and Gracie but the storyline will be on Brody. There’s not enough hours for me to write all the books I have planned in a year. I also have some collaborations I want to concentrate on this year with Darlene Tallman and Liberty Parker. Darlene Tallman and I were together at an event in Tampa this year and while I was signing books we outlined a book together. You just never know when an idea will hit you. Darlene is a fireball and she is very creative and can run with an idea. I loved it. Liberty Parker and I collaborated for a novella in the When Clubs Collide Anthology. I have gotten many requests, as she has, to finish it and hopefully our schedules will come together to do that. After that I have an MMA standalone I have been working on for two years and a contemporary romance series I have started and want to give it some attention. Like I said not enough hours in the day.

  I do not have a newsletter set up yet. To tell you the truth until I have enough requests for it I am not going to attempt it. I love to write and all the social media pulls me away from my writing time. Not saying I will never do one but right now I have not had enough requests. When I get the requests, then it will happen.

  I don’t have a website. It is on my to do list after the first of the year. Again, it takes away from my writing time. If anyone wants a signed copy of one of my books then PM me. They are all ten dollars plus shipping except for the anthologies. I keep them on hand for signings and will get them mailed out to you. I don’t mind PMs but I am not on Facebook very much so it might be a few days before I see it but I will get it.

  The last thing is signings for the first half of 2018: Kansas City Author Event- Mar 10th Wanderlust in San Antonio-May 5th

  Hard Rock Author Event in Tulsa, Oklahoma-July 14th

  I hope to see you at one of the signings. I have a couple more later in the year but these are through the summer.

  EXTRA: Now I have a couple of bonus reads for you. It’s for the ones who h ave not read my BlackPath MC series and do not know the first part of Devil and Callie’s relationship. I have put in Never Forever and Catching Forever for backstory. One of my favorite parts of a story is its backstory. Be sure to read the novella in the back to get more backstory on Callie’s childhood before Chief adopted her. Backstory, backstory, backstory.

  EXTRA #2:

  I am giving you a sneak peek into Maddie and Dra’s book. Just the first couple of chapters. Some changes may take place before the final edits.

  Severed Ties That Bind

  Troubled Fathoms MC Bk. 1 Author Vera Quinn

  I knew three years ago when I met Dra he would change my life forever. My life had already changed so much but I knew he would be an impact. Did I know we would have a one night stand that Dra would regret in the light of day? No. Did I know his bad boy looks with all his glorious tattoos and his dark brooding ways would ma
ke me go weak in the knees and forget everything my mom and aunt Deb ever taught me about men? No. Did I know the night I lost my virginity would also be the night that my beautiful baby girl would be conceived? No. Did I know my heart would be forever lost to a man that was still in love with my sister? No. Would I change any of it? No. If I did then I wouldn’t have my precious daughter, Betsy, my little princess B. Would I have told Dra as soon as I found out I was pregnant? I don’t know. I don’t know if it would change a damn thing. I don’t know if Dra wouldn’t blame me for getting pregnant. What I do know is I am on the run now with my daughter from a man that hates me. I snuck away in the middle of the night like a thief stealing something without a word to any of the people who care about me. How do I justify it? I can’t. I just know I will not let anyone take my daughter from me even if I must leave everyone and everything in my life that I love. I couldn’t stay and face the wrath that Dra has saved just for me. He was speechless when he laid eye on Betsy. Somehow, he just knew that she was his Could be because she looks just like her daddy, not that she knows that. She’s too young to know anything or I hope she is. I don’t know who was more shocked last night when I opened Callie’s front door and there Dra stood. No phone call beforehand. Just a knock on the door and there he is with his new ol’ lady. Yes, he brought Sunshine to meet his ex-wife, my sister Callie. Who does that? Brings a new ol’ lady to meet old ol’ lady? Damn, that’s a mouthful. Does it even make sense? I feel like my whole family is one more relationship away from being in a starring role on one of those daytime shows with the title ‘Who is the daddy uncle or in this case aunt mama?’ Good gosh almighty. This is the point my mom and aunt Deb would say it is time to put on my big girl boots and wade in the shit storm I have made and start shoveling. How did my life get here again? Oh yes, I’m a coward that can’t stand for people to be mad at me and I hate confrontation. In other words, I have no backbone but I will not take the chance that Dra will try and take B.
