Moving On (Dominant Devils Mc Book 1)

by H. M. Stewart

  I turned and headed back into the kitchen stopping a few steps in and yelling over my shoulder, "and if any of that shit takes batteries you'll have plenty of time to go buy them or charge them. Now breakfast will be done in thirty. I suggest you get yourselves cleaned up and back here ready to eat." Then I finished my trek to the kitchen like a boss.

  Hart

  I waited before I knew Carrin was in the kitchen and out of earshot before I went to face the henchmen that stared looks of death at me.

  "I'm sorry fellas. We honestly thought we were being nice." Wincing as I rubbed my jaw I heard the first cackle come from the group.

  "How’s the jaw feeling asshole," Axle said while laughing.

  "It looks like that shit hurts. Old Care Bear’s still got it, though. She learned from the best I might say," Wall added smiling broadly.

  "Yeah I'll give her that. That shit hurt like hell. She sure as shit don't hit like a girl that's for damn sure," I said still holding my jaw.

  "I'm sure your ego is hurt and all Hart but care to explain to me how little miss ended up walking the second story hallway?" Leave it to Athena to get to the seriousness.

  "If I had to guess she's learned how to climb out of her crib. Carrin leaves her door open so she can hear her. Looks like we’re going to have to lower the mattress in her crib all the way to the bottom and get some of those baby gate things," I said sounding almost like a responsible adult. A responsible adult who plans on baby proofing the fuck out of the house as soon as possible.

  Later on, that afternoon I sat and watched my family sing happy birthday to the precious little girl, who at only one was causing trouble. Lord help us all when she gets older.

  I looked at the mound of clothes and toys Tivie received for her birthday sitting around the picnic tables. Half of them were from the Commander and Rosalie. They were apparently making up for not being here in the flesh every day. Next to the unopened presents where envelopes from Romy and Blaze. I grinned to the first losers that had bowed out of the bet before it even began. There was also the battery operated Harley from me, along with the battery operated jeep from Wall. Happy had spent almost two hundred bucks on some popular brand of doll that looked to be close to Octavia's size. Athena had supplied the pink little coupe pedal car while Madison opted for something similar except it was the open and had some type of handle that stood up in the back so the adult could push it along. Then you had the duplicate tricycles. One from Axle and the other from Aiden. We all looked around as the little diva opened her gifts waiting to see which one she was going to prefer the most. We had Rosalie and Queenie convinced to be the judges.

  When Carrin was all done helping Octavia open her gifts there was a sound of a four-wheeler coming from the back of the house. We all jumped to attention looking for the danger headed our way. I instinctively rushed over to put myself in front of the woman and child I wanted to be mine someday. When a grinning Izzy rolled up on some kind of ATV we all stopped frozen in place. Izzy pulled right up in front of me in a motorized Honda ATV that resembled a gator. It was painted purple with all kinds of girly sugar skulls and graphics on it. It sat high like a four wheeler but had the bench seat like a golf cart. It was completed with a roof and had a small truck like a bed on the back. What caught my eye was the personalization on the small tailgate. "Property of the Dominant Devil's Diva" was done in pink and chrome letters.

  As soon as Izzy stopped Octavia was making her way around me to go to her. I watched as Izzy pulled the little girl into her arms and took off around the yard. Pissed I lost but still grinning as I watched Tivie’s face come alive while riding with her aunt.

  “We so lost this shit brother," Wall said out loud stating the obvious.

  "No shit man! And here I thought my biggest competition was going to be that damn pink jeep you bought. At least, I bought a motorcycle."

  "If I had realized that it wasn't truly on two wheels I would have gotten it. Never go into the toy store with a hangover dude. You don't think so clear. I was trying to be responsible and go for the death trap on four wheels," he said chuckling to himself.

  Throughout the day, we each had to take turns riding the diva around. I even took her through the trail we were working on leading over to the clubhouse. Nothing like the present to show her the way. Hopefully, that way she would learn if there was ever any trouble at the house she could make her way over to the clubhouse.

  A few hours later while on my third shift of riding the diva around I noticed she had finally crashed. I headed back towards the crowd of people. I was met by Carrin as I came to a complete stop. She had balloons in her hands but still managed to take a sleeping Octavia from me. "I can carry her to the den if you need me to babe."

  Smiling at my little term of endearment I let slip every once in a while, here recently, she just shook her head thinking of what to say. "I've kind of got something I need to take care of, just me and Tivie. Go pay up your part of the bet handsome. I'll see you guys in a few," she said as she took off towards the falls with her hands full.

  Carrin

  I made my way down to the falls where the bench sat, Hart actually built it for me last month. Something told me he knew I came down here to talk to Brookes even with part of him sitting in the den on the fireplace mantel. I laid Octavia across the bench keeping her head in my lap. I sat there playing with her pitch black curly hair in silence. I knew what I was here to do. I just had to work up the courage to say it out loud. I knew when I finally did I would have the closure I needed. After I said my peace I would let off the balloons that would hopefully find him to let him know we're okay.

  As I looked up to the sky I found the strength I needed. "We celebrated her birthday today. I can't believe she'll be one tomorrow and you’ll be gone a year as well. This year has been hell without you but I got through. Even though I think I've done a good job of moving on with life like you asked I haven't been able to let you go. I'm almost done with school. I'll finish up clinicals in February and will graduate the end of March. We've all settled into the house quite well. We have a few pictures of you throughout the house and we show them to her every chance we get."

  "I finally watched your video today. I had planned on waiting until after her birthday but it just felt right to do it today. I'll make sure that Octavia gets to watch it whenever she wants to, but I have to let you go now. I will always love you but I can't be in love with you anymore. I can breathe again and I'm sure you bringing new family members to me had a big hand in that. I will say that video proved you knew me better than I knew myself. I do feel things when he’s around. I know I would never have felt those things if you were still here but you’re not. Without you here those feelings have bitten me right in the ass, babe. Not sure if anything will ever come from it but I promise to let Hart in if that's what it comes too. For now, I think I'll live up the single life or maybe even go on a few dates."

  I carefully stood making sure Tivie wouldn't roll off the bench. As I looked up to the sky a slight wind blew across my face. It's was like he was there with me giving me the last bit of encouragement. I raised my hand that still held the few balloons as I spoke my final words. "Fly high babe. I will always love you and I know you will always be watching over all of us."

  Letting the balloons go took more effort than I would have imagined. Once I did though I had a huge smile creep across my face. It meant closure in regards to him but it also meant a new beginning of life for me.

  Hart

  I watched Carrin walk off towards the falls as I made my way over to the crowd of bull shitters that had gathered. "Pay up bitches! It's time to pay the piper," an over eager Izzy sounded.

  "I got your damn money woman but I gotta know what possessed you to give that to a toddler for her first fucking birthday," Wall bitched to Izzy.

  "Carrin had been looking at golf carts and shit since she moved in asshole. It wasn't a secret or anything," she fired back at him. "Anyway, the trail wagon was brought to me almost
two years ago for repairs. When the fuckers welshed on the bill it became mine. It's just been sitting at the shop. Worked out for me when our little bet came about. Tivie loves to ride and Carrin wanted something to use to go back and forth through the woods to the clubhouse. It was a win-win for me. Now, pay up bitches," Izzy said way more excited than the rest of us dumb enough to join in the little bet. None of us were enthused except for the two standing over by Izzy. Her brother and sister.

  "I just got to know, was it a three-way split between you guys," I said as the thought popped into my head. Blaze, Romy, and Izzy all looked from one another before finally laughing.

  "To be honest, no, the split is for Octavia. I knew as soon as I saw Izzy messing with that thing in the shop what her intentions were but I had already declined the bet beforehand," Blaze said trying to contain his laughter.

  "Yeah you guys ought to know that Izzy always wins with shit like this. I knew I wasn't throwing my hand in just to lose even if it would be for a good cause," Romy added.

  I noticed the group getting agitated for the two not divulging what Izzy was up to, but before anyone could call them out on it Izzy addressed the tension before it erupted.

  "Take a chill pill you sore losers. I made them swear to secrecy when they found out and in return they made me promise to give my winnings to a good cause," Izzy said while taking turns looking at each one of us.

  "I mean come on. I might be the best bike mechanic in the state of South Carolina but I have no painting or artistic skills in my body. I had to let them in on it in order to get the thing done up the way I wanted for the little diva. There is a reason both of them just gave Tivie birthday cards. You’ll see once Carrin opens them that they contain bank receipts from the deposits they both made into a savings account they opened for our spoiled diva. That little shit will end up with close to a grand in her account from today."

  We all looked at Izzy with a look full of fucking stupidity. Not really understanding what the hell that meant. "What the fuck do you mean she'll end up with a grand today?"

  "Think about it dumb ass. They each dropped two hundred bucks into her account and in order to keep my secret until today, I had to promise to deposit my winnings in the same account. So you see that spoiled club brat is making out like a bandit and doesn't even know it," she said in between laughs.

  "I still have bragging rights for winning even if I didn't get to spend my winnings on the new leather I'd been eyeballing."

  Well damn, I guess I won't mind giving up my fifty bucks now that I know who will end up with it, that was until the taunting started from the tiny little red head. She sure as fuck wasn't going to let us live this shit down.

  Chapter 14

  Three months later….

  Zeus

  I woke up today deciding that it was time I made my move when it came to Carrin. It was a fluke sixty-eight-degree day in the midst of January. With everything that happened, I never got my rain check for the bike ride from back in October. That changes today, though. We managed to get through the holidays unscathed. Everyone had been so busy and with the cold spell that had been wreaking havoc everyone was grumpy.

  After the mess with Madison's apartment, we did some changing of the bedrooms to make room for her. Madison actually took my room on the third floor and I moved into the spare room on the second floor. It worked out so that one of the men were on each floor.

  With my thoughts running wild I turned the water off in the shower in the second-floor bathroom. I stood behind the curtain drying myself as I was thinking of what to do with her today when my thoughts flipped X-rated. Visions of her beneath me with looks of pleasure on her face had me grabbing my cock in my hand. I had found myself using my hand quite a bit in the last seven months or so. Every time my thoughts went to her they quickly consumed me. I found myself stroking just a little harder as I thought back to her in that hot little neon bikini she rocked during the summer months. When I was just about to the home stretch the shower curtain flew back. Normal people would have been embarrassed and covered up sprouting excuses but not me. Maybe it was me or maybe it was because the one I had been dreaming of was standing in front of my naked ass with her eyes glued to my dick. She zoned in on the hand that was working so hard to get me off. Waiting for her to retreat I kept up the pace. She stood there watching my every move getting aroused herself. I could see the peaks of her tight little nipples bud under the tank top she had slept in. When she licked those sexy as fuck lips of hers I lost it. As I began to shoot my seed in the drain of the shower as our eyes locked. She couldn't look away even after I was finished. I didn't know what to say to her so I decided on a little sarcastic flirting.

  "I can always take a shower again Care Bear if you wanna get dirty with me," I said watching her face change from shock to lust. The sexual tension that keeps building between us is driving me crazy.

  "I'm much more to handle than your hand stud. From what I hear, you've been on a dry spell since coming here. Not sure you'd be able to handle me being your out of practice and all," she countered.

  Not bothering to wrap the towel around me I stepped out of the tub directly in front of her. My girl didn't falter or even take a step back as I invaded her personal space. "You'd be surprised at what I can handle sweetheart. Besides I know you haven't been with anyone in a while yourself beautiful."

  "Just because there haven’t been men invited in my bed recently doesn't mean I haven't bought stock in batteries. You must sleep with ear buds in. I know I'm a screamer even if it is me and my b.o.b getting hot and heavy in between the sheets."

  The thought of her lying in a bed in the room next to mine pleasuring herself was enough to have my cock standing at attention again. Moving in closer placing my hand on her cheek pulling her face towards I made her an offer I hoped like hell she wouldn’t refuse. "Now baby all you'd have to do is say the word and you would never need anything battery operated again."

  Moving close enough for me to take her lips and claim her she fired back again. "Prove it asshole." With that, I let the lust for this sexy ass woman consume me. I took her lips like an animal putting months of built up sexual energy into it. I slid my calloused hands under her shirt finding rock hard nipples. Using my forefinger and thumb I pinched and rubbed her nipples until they were hard enough to cut class. I kept one hand on her tit while I made use of the second one. I let my hand slide down in her flat stomach into her sleep shorts slowly looking for signs of her wanting me to stop while I eased my hand to cup her mound.

  Holy fucking Christ, she was a commando. This bitch was going to make me cum again before she even put her hands on me. Trying not to seem like an under experienced teenager I used my fingers to part the lips of her sopping wet pussy. Carefully I started applying pressure with my thumb teasing her clit in hopes of getting her to the promise land. When I felt her growing wetter I dipped the first finger in her tight hole. Plunging my finger in while still using my thumb on her clit she grabbed a hold of my back with both hands as if she was afraid I'd walk away and leave her hanging. No way in hell was that happening!

  With my lips still owning hers, she began to moan louder into my mouth as I dipped the second finger in her hot little box while trying to keep my own growing need for her in check. I was a little larger than most and I knew it had been a while for her. I wanted to make sure she'd be good and wet when it came time to take me. I didn’t want to hurt her.

  Still punishing her pussy, I broke from her lips only to kiss and nip my way down her long neck and didn't stop until I had her unattended nipple in my mouth. Carrin threw her head back shouting out a string of curses while scraping her nails down my back. I knew she was close, god knows I didn't know how much more restraint I had left before I pushed her to the fucking bathroom floor and lost myself in her for as long as she'd let me.

  I sucked and plunged working her into a complete frenzy. In a matter of minutes, it was like my own personal fireworks show. She came screaming my name and
digging her claws into my back. I slowed my onslaught of her pussy letting her ride out her orgasm.

  Still standing upright, but leaning her head on my chest she spoke. "That was fucking incredible. If you can do that with just your fingers I can't wait for you to ruin me with that cock of yours."

  Before I could answer her we were pulled out of our euphoric bubble by the wails of the fifteen-month-old diva that both of us forgot was asleep down the hall. Before she had a chance to flip out about what just happened I took control of the situation again.

  "Why don't you go ahead and get in the shower. I'll take care of our diva this morning. Take your time and get yourself together. I have a big day planned for us, baby."

  Placing a finger over her lips as she began to speak to silence her I spoke again. "You still owe me a rain check for a bike ride from a few months ago. I checked the weather channel and it's supposed to be damn near seventy today. I've already hit up Queenie to watch Tivie and being I'm not a prospect anymore I don't have to ask permission from anyone. Besides, I think Happy will be joining us if he's awake."

  With a grin a mile wide she nodded her head in agreement. I bent to pick up the towel to wrap around my waist as she began to shed her shorts. Leaving her bare ass bent over in front of me I took the opportunity to swat her on the ass just for the hell of it. I was prepared for her to lay into me but instead, she just shot me a devilish grin over her shoulder as she climbed into the shower pulling the curtain to.

  Still hearing a sobbing Tivie I rushed to my room to throw on a pair of mesh shorts quickly. In less than thirty seconds I had approved clothing on and went to scoop up the crying little girl for a dry diaper and food in her belly. When I got to the crib Tivie stopped crying and was smiling as big as she could with her hands in the air yelling "up". Just like the rest of the women in the family, she wasn't afraid to tell you what she wanted.
