I can tell EJ is going to be a lot like me—a protector. He’s so aware of his sister, it’s astonishing that he’s only one, but when people come near her that he’s never seen before, he finds a way to get to her. It’s amazing really, but it makes me glad knowing that not only will his sister have me and my brothers to protect her, but she’ll have her brother too.
And Harley, she’s still smaller than her brother, but she has exceeded what the doctors thought possible. She was able to put on the weight and keep it on very quickly and she never had any health problems that you sometimes hear babies have if they’re born prematurely. She even took her first step before her brother did.
Both of the kids have me and their mama wrapped around their little fingers, but Dani has a soft spot for EJ and I guess you could say I have one for Harley. Dani always makes fun of me, telling me I’m turning soft because I’ll give my little princess anything she wants, especially when she starts crying. It just breaks my heart. Dani’s the same way with our son, though she just doesn’t see it like I do. But hey, isn’t that the way it’s supposed to go—Mama’s boy and Daddy’s girl?
Today, we’re having a big party for their birthday at the clubhouse. All my brothers will be there and I’m sure there are going to be tons of gifts for the kids. Harley and EJ have more than any one-year-old could ever need or ever possibly want. Yeah, my kids are spoiled as fuck. But I can’t put all the blame on my brothers, I’m just as guilty. Dani is always making fun of me and saying I spoil them, but I couldn’t care less. I want my kids to have everything they could ever dream of.
“Zane! Do you have the kids’ bags packed and in the truck?” Dani yells from upstairs.
“Yes I do. Everything is ready to go. We’re just waiting on you,” I yell back, then look down at the kids playing with blocks on the floor. “Your mother is going to make us late for your party since she just had to go in to work this morning for some reason.”
EJ stands and makes his way toward me. I pick him up and walk to the bottom of the stairs. “Mama. Mama!” he says, and I know that hearing him, Dani will move faster so she doesn’t upset him. See, Mama’s boy.
“All right, all right, I’m ready. Let’s go,” she says, bounding down the stairs. When I see her, my breath catches in my throat and I have to adjust my cock inside my pants. Holy fuck, she looks hot! She’s wearing tight black leather pants, a tight white tank top, and her favorite leather jacket. My woman is a fucking MILF.
When she walks past me, I slap her ass hard. “You trying to drive me insane, Baby Girl?” I groan.
“Is it working?” she asks, then winks before heading toward the kitchen.
Growling in frustration, I say, “You’re going to kill me one of these days.” That makes her laugh, then she turns around and comes back toward me and places a heated kiss on my lips.
“Mack’s watching the kids tonight. And when we get home, I’ve got a surprise for you.”
When she walks away this time, she puts a little extra sway in her hips. “You better watch it, Baby Girl, or else you might find yourself in a compromising position,” I say just loud enough for her to hear. Her laugh rings loudly from the kitchen, but I let her be. I’ll have my cock buried deep in her pussy soon enough.
***
After I pull into the clubhouse parking lot, Dani goes to get EJ out of the truck and I get Harley out. As soon as their little feet touch the ground, they’re off, running as fast as they can to the front door where Mack is waiting for them with a balloon in each hand.
“Papa!” they both yell at the same time. Yeah, they have Mack wrapped around their fingers too. It’s sometimes funny to watch such a big hard ass like Mack be so soft and calm with them, but it’s a good look on him. I hope he can find someone and settle down. He’s not old, but he’s getting to that age that I just want him to be happy and my hope is having an Old Lady would do that for him.
Taking Dani’s hand, I walk with her up to Mack. She gives him a hug and whispers something to him before he looks at me and smiles. Reaching out to shake my hand, he says, “I can’t believe they are a year old already.”
“I know. They’re getting so big, they need to stop growing!” Dani says with a laugh, but I can hear a little bit of sadness hidden behind her words.
Mack leans down, picks up both kids, then turns and takes the kids into the backyard. Dani follows, but as soon as we pass a storage closet, I can’t wait anymore.
Grabbing her by the wrist, I open the door and yank her in behind me. Locking the door, I flip on the switch and look at her with my intent clearly written all over my face.
“Zane, we can’t! It’s the kids’ birthday party!” She tries to stop me, but I’m too far gone. Seeing her look the way she looks today is just too much for me to handle. I can’t wait until we get home. I’ll fuck her here, right now to take the edge off and then when we get home, I’ll take my time with her.
“Can’t wait, Baby Girl. I need to be inside you,” I say before I take her lips in a hard kiss.
Reaching down, I unbutton her pants and slip my hand inside. She gasps when I flick her clit, but I swallow it with my mouth and continue working her hard and fast. With my other hand, I pull down the top of her shirt so I can suck on her beautiful tits, but I stop when I see a bandage over her left breast. “What the fuck is that?” I growl.
Dani must know exactly what I’m talking about because she looks down before she brings her gaze back to mine. She smiles and then starts to take the gauze off. I have no idea what it could be, but it has me worried.
“I was going to wait till tonight to show you, but I guess now’s a good time too,” she says just as the gauze pulls free and I’m left looking at a new tattoo over her heart. It’s the MC’s emblem and name, but what it says below it makes my breath catch and my cock harder than I think it’s ever been.
“I’ve thought about it a lot lately, and I know I said I would never do it, but I changed my mind. I love you more than my own life, Zane, and I love this club. It’s time I show that love and loyalty to everything that sees it,” she says, looking at me with a smile on her face, but I can’t stop looking at the brand that marks her. My brand. At the bottom of the FSMC emblem, it reads “Property of Blaze.”
Not able to hold out any longer, I pull her pants down roughly, then turn her around before bending her over. “Do you have any idea what it does to me to see my mark on you?” I growl as I reach down to release my hard cock. “Hold on tight, Baby Girl, I can’t wait any longer.” I ram into her tight, wet pussy in one thrust. “Fuck!”
I don’t give her time to adjust, I just keep pounding into her with a hard, fast rhythm. “Oh God, Zane, right there.” She moans, and I can feel her pussy quiver around my cock. She’s close.
“Don’t come until I tell you to,” I demand, needing her to wait until I’m ready. I want to feel her grip my cock as we both come.
Grabbing her hips roughly, I pick up the pace, racing toward the finish line. “Fuck, Baby Girl. I love the way your pussy feels on my cock.” At my words, her pussy starts to contract and I know she can’t hold off any longer. “Come, Dani. Come all over my cock,” I growl into her ear as I lean over her and thrust into her three more times.
“Yes!” she screams and I feel her come hard.
“Shit. Fuck!” I still inside of her as I feel her pussy milk my cock.
We stay like that for a few minutes, both of us trying to catch her breath. When I finally pull out, she whimpers at the loss. “Come on, Baby Girl. Let’s celebrate our kids’ birthday. Then tonight, I’m going to fuck you nice and slow, all night long.”
Chapter 21
The Birthday Party
Dani
The party is in full force when Zane and I finally come outside. We should have been out here sooner, but I can’t complain, I needed that quickie just as much as he did. Plus, I’m kind of glad I was able to show Zane my new tattoo. I honestly didn’t think I could hold that in any longer.
<
br /> When I asked Mack to meet me at the shop this morning, he thought I wanted to talk him about the shop and how things are going with the kids and work. But when he got there, I got right down to the real reason I asked him to come. I’ve thought about this long and hard since that night when we had a heart to heart in the bathroom. I didn’t lie when I told him I would re-live every bad thing that happened to me as long as I got him in the end. I know he doubts me—us—sometimes, but I’m hoping that with this new tattoo—his brand—that he’ll finally understand and believe in my love for him.
Sara catches my eye and I make my way over to her as Zane crosses to where the kids are playing with Mack and a few of the brothers. “Hey! I’ve been looking for you!” she says, though I’m sure she knows exactly what Zane and I were up to.
“Yeah, sorry. Something came up that I had to take care of,” I say with a wink. Yeah, she knows.
“I bet.” She laughs and then pulls me over to a picnic table. “So, I wanted to talk to you about something. Toby and I have set a date for the wedding. Now, it’s not going to be anything big or fancy, but I’d love it if you would be my Maid of Honor.” I’m stunned. Toby and Sara got engaged right after all that shit went down with her crazy ex, but up until now, they never made any mention about setting a date. When they first told us they were getting married, they just said it would happen when the time was right, but I think their reason for waiting was because of my pregnancy and things being a little tense in the club. I don’t know what’s going on, but something seems to be brewing. But I’m secretly glad they’ve waited.
“Oh my God, of course! I’d love to me your Maid of Honor! Thank you!” I say then pull her in for a hug. Sara has become like a sister to me. I knew when Toby first told me about her, even before I met her, that we would be close. I never had any siblings, but to me, she is my sister.
Sara looks happy and a little relieved. “Thank you! I was a little worried that you wouldn’t want to,” she says hesitantly.
“Why on Earth would I not want to? This is the biggest day of your life. You both mean the world to me. Of course I will stand beside you while you marry the man of your dreams. I’m honored, Sara.” I’m humbled that she thought of me.
Toby is like a brother to me, more so than any of the other men here, even Louie. When I first met him, I felt a connection to him and it’s always been there. He’s been there for me, he’s helped me grow into the woman I am today, and he’s protected me and helped make sure I could protect myself and those I love. I couldn’t be happier for both of them. They’re perfect for each other and destined to be together. I just know it.
Sara pulls me into another hug. “Thank you. You have no idea what it means to me.” I just nod, afraid if I say anymore, that either or both of us will break down into tears, and today is not a day I want to cry – whether they are happy tears or not.
“Mama!” I hear EJ yell from across the yard. I smile at Sara and stand up.
“Duty calls,” I say, then make my way over to my baby boy.
“Mama!” EJ says again just as I make it over to him.
“Yes, baby, I’m right here.” I bend down and pick him up, holding him close to my chest. God I love this little boy. He looks just like his daddy and I couldn’t be happier about that.
“Mama!” he yells and wiggles in my arms, waving his arms around and toward the presents. Of course. I should have known as soon as we got here that we wouldn’t make it long before one or both of the kids would see the presents and want to rip into them.
“Not yet, baby boy. We need to wait a little while longer,” I say, hoping I can distract him or talk him into waiting, but no such luck. Harley comes wobbling up to me and pulls at my leg. Picking her up, it’s a struggle at first with EJ squirming around, but I finally get her into my other arm.
“Mum mum mum,” she says.
Knowing there’s no way they’ll wait, I place a kiss on both of their cheeks before letting them down. “Okay, okay. Let’s go find your father and we’ll open presents.” I set them both down and they both take off as fast as their little wobbly feet can go, searching for their father.
They find him almost instantly, and run and jump into his lap as he sits and talks with Toby, Louie, and Jax. Watching him laugh and smile as they squeal and yell in delight about opening up presents, I realize how good my life turned out. I thought destiny was just using me as a toy and liked to see how far she could throw me before I’d break. I hated the shit that was thrown my way in my life and thought it was to punish me or break me down. But now, I see it for what it was. It was a way to make me stronger, to build me up, and make me the person I am today. To lead me where I am today, where I belong. Here with my family and friends, the love of my life, and my two beautiful children. I still can’t believe I have everything I ever wanted, and more.
Now I realize that sometimes, destiny isn’t made, it’s born.
Bonus Chapter
Toby and Sara’s Wedding Day
Toby
It’s five minutes ’til show time. I’m sitting here with all my brothers and watching the clock tick. I’m counting down the seconds till I finally marry the woman of my dreams. Okay, that may be a lie. Not because she’s not, but because I guess I never really dreamed about the perfect woman for me or about getting married or having a family.
Ever since I could remember, the only thing I ever dreamed about was a day that I wouldn’t have to look over my shoulder or fight for the most basic things I needed in life. Even after joining the club, I still used to dream about my childhood or about losing the only family I’ve ever really known.
So I’ve never really thought about the woman I may end up with. I figured I would die alone. But as soon as Sara walked into that gym, I just knew, deep down, that she was the woman of my dreams, if I would have ever dreamt of the perfect woman for me. I love her with everything that is inside of me and honestly do not know what I would do without her in my life. I don’t think I could live without her.
“Yo, Toby! It’s time, brother,” Blaze says behind me.
I blink out of my thoughts and check the clock. Shit, I didn’t even realize that the time was flying by while I was lost in my own head.
I must look a little flustered because Blaze claps me on the back. “You all right, brother? Not having second thoughts, are ya? ’Cause if you are, I may not be able to protect you from Dani. You know she’ll be pissed if you break her friend’s heart.”
“Nah, man, no second thoughts at all. I would have married that girl the first day I met her if I could have,” I say with a laugh, knowing deep down that it’s the truth.
Blaze laughs with me and leads me over to the bar where I notice all my brothers are waiting for us with shot glasses in their hands.
“Here’s to you, brother. May you and Sara have a lifetime of happiness, days full of laughter, and nights full of amazing sex,” Blaze says while holding his drink up.
Before I can down the shot that was handed to me, though, Louie steps forward. “Here’s to you, Toby. You’ve been like a brother to me from day one. You’ve always been there for me when I needed you—sometimes even when I didn’t—and you were always up to cause trouble with me. And even though I know I’ll have to find someone else to raise hell with me now that you got your woman, I can’t be mad ’cause what a woman she is. You got yourself one fine ol’ lady there, man. I hope you both have a long, happy life. I love you, man.”
Next, Mack steps up to me and with the hand that isn’t holding his shot glass, he squeezes my shoulder. “You’ve picked a fine woman, son. I know that you’ll both be very happy. But I will warn you, brother or not, if you hurt her, I will make you regret it.” And I know he means that. He’s pretty much adopted both Dani and Sara and would do anything to make sure they’re happy and safe.
“If I hurt her, I’ll hand you my own gun to shoot me with,” I say seriously, because if I do ever hurt her, you might as well kill me because I won’t be
able to stand the knowledge that it was me that caused her to cry tears of sadness.
Next, my newest brother raises his glass. “I may not have been around as long as the rest of these guys, but I will tell you this. You and Sara belong together. Anyone can see it just by looking at the both of you. So here’s to a long life of having your soulmate by your side, for better or for worse,” Jax says.
It crazy to think that a year ago, this guy was a stranger to me. He came to town and I had no idea what to think about him at first. Dani said that they were best friends from high school, but I hated it. I didn’t want some guy coming in here and taking up residence in her life only to leave her again. But as it turns out, he stayed and decided to join our family in the best way possible. So he may be new, but he’s my brother just the same as the rest of these guys.
The rest of my brothers all raise their shot glasses and each say a small wish of happiness and congratulations, then we all down the shot.
“All right, brother, let’s get you hitched,” Blaze says.
Walking outside, surrounded by my brothers, I know that today will be one of the happiest moments of my life. Today is the day I make the woman I love officially mine. It feels like a long time coming. We’ve both been through hell, but now we’re finally where we are meant to be. I would do anything for that woman, and I’m so fucking grateful that she loves me and is marrying me.
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives, and I know, for better or for worse, we will fight anything that stands in our way of happiness.

Sara
I know that most women say they waited a lifetime to get married—they dream about what their future husband will look like, who will be in attendance for the ceremony, and what their dress will look like. To be completely honest, that was me too. I dreamed I was going to marry a doctor. He was going to be tall, but not much taller than me. He’d have blond hair and blue eyes that would only shine when they looked at me. He’d be lean and muscular, but not a meathead. I imagined hundreds of people attending my wedding. I wouldn’t know all of them and I wouldn’t care less. I just wanted everyone there to see what I thought would be the happiest day of my life.
