Beginning of the Reckoning

by Vera Quinn

  “Well our g ifts are from Devil and Kat but we are presenting. First something blue.” Sarah says and hands me her blue bag. I open it and there is a beautiful sexy garter. It’s simple but dainty and I love it. But there is two and a note. It simply explains it is from Kat and one is to throw and one is to save.

  “Next is something borrowed.” This is coming from Hann a and she hands me a white bag. I look inside and it is a beautiful handkerchief with a note. It is really very nice. It is embroidered with initials and it has a lot of lace but it is very small. I read the note and it is from Kat and it says it was her mom’s and one day she hopes Kim will use it at her wedding. This woman is going to make me cry.

  “I have the something new and it is from Devil.” Fe gives me a pink bag. I look inside the bag and there is a jewelry box. I open it and there is an amazing pair of diamond tear drop earrings and they are gorgeous. I take out the ones I have in my ears and replace them. My hair is up in back but it falls down around my face is soft wisps, so these will look amazing in my ears. I read the note. He says he didn’t have to buy me a ring so he splurged on these earrings. They are perfect. Everyone is smiling and oohing and awing over everything when my dad walks in and he tells everyone to clear out he needs a few minutes. Hanna comes back and hands me a penny with my birth year on it and tells me to put it in my boot. Ok, I can do that. Another superstition. My dad comes over and sits beside me and I know I am going to cry. It’s the serious look on his face. He takes my hand and faces me. “Baby girl you have always been my heart. Since the day I held you in my arms at the hospital. I know you have said you are sure about what you’re doing but I want to make sure one more time. I will get you out of here no questions asked. I will take care of everything.” My dad is having a hard time adjusting to me leaving and I hate it, but it has to happen.

  “Dad I am sure. I have to do this and I really like Devil and his family. Dad, you know I have never believed in forever with one person. I accept what Devil is offering. Whole heartedly. Please try to understand. When Mason did what he did it just screwed my head up more than what it was before. I can accept honesty, loyalty, and commitment as a relationship. I will embrace it. As long as I have that I will be ok.” I kiss the top of his head as he has done so many times to me. I want to be reassuring to him.

  “Ok, I have to accept it then. So I have your something old.” He brings out a s mall box and puts it in my hand and as soon as I open it I remember it. It is a necklace. It has a new chain but it is the horseshoe charm Tommy always wore around his neck. I had forgotten about it. How could I forget something I had seen on him every day?

  “Will you put it on me? Where has it been?” I ask him stupid questions, I know, but it is what comes to me. “I put it up for this day. I purchased a new chain and put it in my safe. It was the only thing Tommy had left from his dad and it meant a lot to him. I knew he would want you to have it and I knew on this day it would make him seem closer to you.” He takes the necklace and puts it on me. He’s right, as soon as it is on I feel Tommy here in the room with me.

  “Thank you, dad. It means the world to me.” I know I can do this now. “I’m not done yet.” He takes a comb out of his pocket and the minute I see it tears spring to my eyes. It had belonged to grandma. She wore it for special occasions because it had diamonds in the intricate designs and had been in their family for many generations. “Grandma told me or should I say made me promise, I would give this to you on your wedding day. So now you have part of both of them here.” I start to cry. I can’t help it. Dad has made this day perfect in an imperfect situation. I feel complete. Dad pulls me into his arms and hugs me. “You are never too old to come to me. Never. You will always be my baby girl and you remember that. Now dry your face up and let’s get my baby married before I change my mind and lock you in your room until your old and gray.” That’s dad’s way of getting control of his feelings again and I love my big bad biker dad.

  “Ok dad. Kelsey will kill us both if I mess up her masterpiece, as she called me.” I don’t want mascara running in my pictures. “Ok daddy let them know we are ready to start.” I look in the mirror and everything is ok. I make sure everything is where it should be. “Let’s do this dad.” I take his arm and we join my friends in the hallway. Callie & Devil

  Devil You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Callie Cheyenne Monroe Black to Kylar “Devil” Damien Steel.

  I’m standing at the end of the aisle they have formed with my dad, Keifer, and Hawkeye beside me. They are the three closest people to me and the only people I would have standing beside me at this time. My dad is the man I respect most in this world. He gave me life and he is not only my dad, but my brother in our Feral Steel MC. Keifer is my blood brother and my club brother. Hawkeye has been my friend for the last ten years and he is a club brother. These three men are with me through everything. Right now they are just helping with the nerves of getting this thing done. It’s time now. I hear the music begin and the doors have opened. First down the aisle is her friend Felix. He seems nice enough and he keeps those three females grounded. Behind him is Hanna. She is the one who has had the least amount of contact with us. She seems ok, but Tito said she is being kept at arms length from them right now by her mom. Something to do with her mom and Chief. Keifer has kept an eye on her the last few hours. Apparently him and Kizzy are calling it quits again. Nothing new. I told him hands off. Then there’s Sarah and when she comes down the aisle I see Tito wears nothing but a smile. Definitely something going on there. Now it is Callie’s time. I wait. Then the doors reopen and I get my first glimpse of the woman I am marrying. She is absolutely stunning. She did not go for the traditional dress but a knee length dress with cowboy boots. Damn, if she isn’t beautiful the way she is. I see the earrings in her ears I bought and I want to beat my chest and say mine. Chief brings her down the aisle to me.

  Callie

  Dad and I made our way down the aisle to where Devil is and he looks gorgeous in his pressed dress shirt with his cut over it and his starched jeans. The perfect specimen of a man. I see his mom sitting behind his side and she is crying. Kelsey and Chelsea are crying, but I just feel at peace. I thought I would dread this, but I don’t. I want this. For once, I chose this. I chose the direction for my destiny to take and it feels freeing. It feels like I belong. Now to get on with the rest of my life with Devil.

  Chief

  The wedding is over and my baby is gone now. She’s a woman and I have to let her go. It’s one of the hardest things I have ever done. All I want to do now is get drunk, find a club whore and forget for the rest of the night. Life is changing. I don’t like change. I’m sitting in my office reflecting on the day. At least my baby had a beautiful day. Something for her to remember. Then I hear a knock at my door. I knew this day wouldn’t end this easy.

  “Come in.” Ty and Driller walk in but behind them the last person I would expect to see. In he comes, along with his two buddies. Mason Brumley, Cru London, and his twin Jeb. “What the hell are you doing here boy? You’re about two hours too late. Callie is a married woman and gone. You have your nerve showing your face here after the shit you pulled with my daughter.

  “Sir, I know I screwed up with Callie but I love her. I love her with everything that I am and I will do everything I can to make this up to her.” Mason gives to me but I just am not interested in what he has to say. I get up and walk around my desk and then I have this little fuck by his neck and I slam my fist into him and I let him go so he can hit the floor. Ty is in front of Cru and Driller in front of Jeb.

  “Get off my damn floor and quit bleeding everywhere.” I see I ha ve busted his lip open and he is lucky I stopped. “Say your piece and get out. Callie is married and there isn’t anything you can do about it now.” I know I have to hear him out or he will keep coming back. He’s stubborn that way.

  “Mr. Black, I love Callie, but I was weak. I won’t give up on her. I know she still loves me and she will realize that an
d come back to me and I will be here waiting. I’m not resigning and I’m taking an early out. I know I made this mess and I am responsible for Callie marrying this guy, but when she comes back, I will be waiting. I don’t care how long it takes. I will be the man she loves again.” The boy sounds convincing but I know how hard that can be and if Callie hears about him fucking around with her friends she will never come back.

  “Well, which one of her friends will you be whoring around with? There are things you don’t understand.” I don’t know what he wants from me. I won’t help him in any way.

  “All I’m saying, sir, is I’m waiting on her. Whatever is going on she will g et through and then I will be here. Waiting on only her. I was too late today, but I came as soon as I could get here. I have to go back for about four weeks and I’m leaving day after tomorrow and then I’ll be back. I won’t give up on her. She didn’t give up on me. I owe her that and so much more.” With that they all three leave. Ty, Driller and I are left just wondering what the hell just happened.

  Devil

  I see the drive for the cabin and I have noticed how Callie has gotten quiet and started fidgeting with her hands. She’s nervous but I don’t know how to calm her down. I park my truck in the drive and get our bags out and Callie is still sitting there. I stick my head back in the cab of the truck.

  “Are you coming? You know nothing has to happen tonight. We have all the time in the world. Are you hungry? I’ve been told I can grill a mean hot dog. Ok, I nuke them, but I bet we have some chili and cheese to make them better. Mom knows how I love them and I saw some in the cabinet when I was up here yesterday.”

  “You were here yesterday? Why?” she’s still stalling but she is getting out now. “I came up to check the place out. Make sure the people stocked the food. Make sure there was no repairs needed and no one had damaged anything last time someone was here. Since we’re older, we don’t come here as much. Never enough time. Ma and dad come up, but never check everything out. We have a hot tub on the back deck and I made sure it was working, and cleaned it since it has been awhile since anyone used it. It’ll be ready as soon as I take the cover off and set it. Would you like to use it later?” she looks surprised. We get to the door and I set our bags down and unlock the door and she starts to enter but I stop her and swoop her up bridal style and carry her over the threshold. She’s shocked but laughs. We enter and I set her down on her feet. “I didn’t take you for the traditional type. Nice though. I like it.” She laughs and I see she’s starting to relax. “The hot tub is a good idea to relax. Can we eat first though? I am a little hungry.” She is taking it all in. “This is really nice. As close as we live to Beavers Bend, I have never been here. We usually go to Lake Bob Sandlin when we camp. There’s a little town called Pittsburg and we have a lake house right on the lake. I crappie fish off our dock. There’s three lakes close together and we love it there. This is nice too. We don’t have a hot tub.” I can see she has relaxed and started opening up.

  “Do you swim? We usually have a boat here, bu t dad is upgrading and has it at the house right now, but we can go canoeing or kayaking tomorrow. They have places to rent them, but I warn you this water is cold. Very cold.” She looks interested.

  “Yeah, that sounds like fun. I love to swim. Show me the rest of the cabin.” I grab our bags and head up the stairs with her right behind me. We take the first bedroom on the right. It’s not my usual room but it has an attached bathroom. I won’t use the master bedroom. Only ma and dad go in there. Dad’s rules.

  “ This is nice. Lots of room. You can see through the window on the bed. That is beautiful. Can we go hiking tomorrow? I brought my camera and I could get some awesome nature pictures.” She is looking out the window and I notice how good she looks in my family space. She looks like she could have been here many times. She fits so well into my life.

  “Sure we can do whatever you like. I wish we had longer to stay, but the next two days is all I could get away. Maybe we can come back later in the summer. I’m going to put these here and go turn the hot tub on and then fix us some food. You want to come help?” I hope I’m not pushing her. With females, who knows. I’m trying my best to make her feel relaxed with me, but I’m not patient by nature. I want to try for her. Somehow, she makes me want to be more. We make our way back downstairs and I go out and turn the hot tub on and then go back in the kitchen, but she is already getting the hot dogs ready. “Thought I would help out some. How many do you want?” she is putting the hot dogs on to cook and she has cheese out to grate. I get out some plates and get the bread and chips out.

  “Three, please. I’m a growing boy have to keep my energy up.” I think about how that sounds and I guess my face says it all because she breaks out laughing. “You should have seen your face when you realized what you said. It was priceless. Relax. I’m not going to break. I was just nervous. I am fine now.” She laughed so hard she is wiping tears out of the edge of her eyes. I guess she has relaxed some, so I can. We finish and eat in a nice quietness.

  Callie

  We finish our food and then we clean up everything. I walk into the living room and everything is so nice. I love the way Kat has made it so homey. Nothing is overdone. I think I could live here permanently. I sit on the sofa and Devil comes over and sits beside me. He pulls me onto his lap, and it seems so natural. I face him and he brings me to him and starts a slow sensual kiss. Nothing fast or grabby, just slow and soft. He kisses my lips and scoots me slowly towards him. I am as close to him as I can be sitting like this. His arms have me wrapped up and I feel safe and happy. He doesn’t rush just moves slowly. He runs his tongue so softly over my lips and I open for him and at first our tongues just barely touch and are timid and getting acquainted. He tastes amazing. Just a touch of mint and everything else is all him. A flavor I have never quiet tasted before but I want more of. Do I need to go brush my teeth first? I probably taste like hot dogs.” I ask him. Feeling a little paranoid about I taste.

  “No baby, you taste so sweet. Do I taste bad?” he asks me in a husky voice. “Do you want to stop? I’m not rushing you, I just want you closer.” He gets out but he is already putting angel kisses on my neck and it is making me try to get even closer to him.

  “You taste amazing and no everything is fine.” I no sooner get the words out and he captures my mouth in another kiss, but this one is deeper and I can feel butterflies in my stomach as I feel him hardening underneath me. But it doesn’t scare me or put me off. I want more. I run my hand up the back of his hair to feel the texture between my fingers. Everything feels so much more. He slowly puts his hand up the back of my shirt and when I feel his hand on my bare skin it’s like every pore in my skin can feel it and I am on fire. He takes his lips from my mouth and runs them over the side of my face. He leaves soft kisses in a trail to my neck and behind my ear. Up and down my neck, I feel his tongue glide slowly over my skin. I am gasping for air. I am trying to calm down but I feel every slow motion and then he nips my earlobe and takes into his mouth and sucks on it lightly. I feel myself getting wet and I can’t help grinding my crotch on the swollen cock under me. This man is driving insane from moving so slowly and never moving too fast. I feel my whole body beginning to get hot.

  “Baby can I take your shirt off?” and when I nod my head yes, he quickly lifts it over my head and discards it on the floor. He quickly sees the tattoo I have below my left breast on my side. “For your brother? I like that. Shows your loyalty.” He starts on the other side of my neck moving me around. He slowly kisses that side of my neck the way he did my other, but this time going lower to the top of my breast. He kisses over the tops of my breast while gliding his hands down my sides and across my stomach. He gently moves me to my back with him leaning over me and whispers just loudly enough for me to hear “You are so beautiful. You will never know how badly I want you right now.” His hand undoes the button on my jean shorts and unzips them, but he leaves them on. He positions himself carefully between my legs a
nd comes back down to me and takes one of nipples into his mouth with my bra still on. It is the one that is pierced and it’s like a thousand jolts of electricity has shocked me. It feels so damn good. I finally get the courage to say to him “show me how much you want me. I want more…so much more.”

  “Careful baby, I don’t have very much control right now. Is your nipple pierced? God that is so hot. You keep surprising me. What other surprises do you have for me? If you want more I will give it to you, but be careful what you ask for.” He sounds husky and his breathing is heavy and I know he is fighting for control but I want him to let go. I want him to want me as much as I want him. I know what I am asking for and I want it and I want it all now. I need it. My body is on fire and there is something happening to me and I need it so badly. “Give it all to me. I want it all. I’m ready.” I get it out but I can barely understand myself my voice is so low and breathy. He reaches between us and undoes the clasp of my bra and moves it off of me and on the floor with the rest of my clothes. He softly caresses my breasts and brings his mouth to me and begins to suckle me softly. My nipple is getting hard and sensitive. I can feel his tongue lavishing attention on one and then the other so they are both aching for more. I want to feel his skin next to my now moist skin. I reach for his shirt and he helps me get it off and I go for his belt and get it undone. not nearly as smooth as his moves. I am trying to fumble with his zipper when he takes my hand in his and brings it to his mouth and kisses it and I hear him say, “Slow down baby. We’re not in any hurry. We have all the time in the world. I want to make this so good for you.” Then he unzips his pants and pushes them to the floor. He toes his boots off and takes his pants the rest of the way off. He stands there, his cock hard with pre-cum at the head. He must not wear underwear because there is none. He is so big. I hope we fit each other. I notice how muscular and tone his legs are. They look so powerful. His chest is broad with just a little hair. I guess I have never really looked closely at just how sexy this man is. He has model good looks. I start to feel self- conscious about my looks and bring my hands up but he stops me.
