“Umm because you drank like half the bar last night”
“Oh, that's nothing”
“Nothing dam Maggie you put all us young guys to shame last night” Colt says smiling
“Fuckin' women could always drink” Razor says walking in kissing Maggie on the cheek than me and shaking Colt’s hand why do you think I don't let her come to the parties I'd be spendin' a fortune to keep the placed stocked
“Oh, Razor hush” she says smiling at him
“Don't hush me only women I've ever seen drink a bottle of tequila in one sitting and still pass a sobriety test when she was pulled over by the cops one night”
“Shut up Razor don't give these two any ideas now who's hungry” she says turning back to dish up breakfast, we all sit and have breakfast talking about last night’s party and when where done Maggie and I do the dishes and we all head into the living room to open gifts
*
“Oh, Niya you shouldn't have it's beautiful” Maggie says smiling
I'd gotten her a gold bracelet with intricate carvings all filigree with three diamonds in it one for me her and Razor and a silk scarf, perfume new slippers and a new recipe book healthy living of course, I got Razor new wallet with Devils Soldiers insignia engraved on it and a new helmet cologne couple of shirts and a new pair of ray-ban aviator glasses
“Thank you darlin' I love it all” he said giving me a kiss, I handed Colt a couple of boxes the usual man gifts as Maggie called them socks, clothes, cologne I got him a new face mask for when he rides and a new iPod knowing Stryker stood on his, a couple of weeks ago
“Baby this is too much” I just kissed him knowing the best one was still to come
“And this is from Colt and me” I hand Maggie an envelope
“Oh, Niya Colt this is too much”
“What is it?” Razor says taking the envelope
“It's none refundable and you’re going to use it”
“This must have cost a fortune”
“Maggie, you and Razor have given me a family a life and I... we want you to have it” it was an all-inclusive weekend away at a Lovers Spa and Retreat in the mountains just what Razor needed he was looking so warn out lately and I could see it was taking a toll on them and Colt said he'd passed through the town last year and had read pamphlets on it so we got it for them.
“Oh, thank you both” and she gets up and hugs us both and so did Razor
“Ok our turn she said” and passes me a small box, I stare at it.... I'm so nervous my hearts beating
“What's wrong honey?”
“I... I... I've n... eve. ever had a Christmas gift before” Colt’s grip tightens on my waist and Maggie grabs my hand and squeezes
“Open it baby” he whispers my palms sweating, I slowly undo the paper not wanting to rip the beautiful gold and silver paper
“Just rip it open” Maggie says
“I don't want to rip the paper it’s so pretty”
“Honey I have a whole roll of it”
“Oh” I feel a bit silly
“Just rip it” she says again and I smile and tear into the paper with the excitement of a kid at Christmas, everyone laughing me included
“Oh my god Maggie you got me an iPad”
“From Razor and me honey you can download music, books anything you want”
“Oh, I love it thank you” I also got shoes clothes perfumes make up and a new phone
“I feel so spoiled, I don't deserve all of this”
“Honey you’re our daughter now and if we want to spoil you than we will isn't that right Razor”
“Fuckin' right babe” Razor said with a big smile, I burst into tears feeling over whelmed and loved
“Oh, honey come here” she grabbed me and hugged me until I stopped when I stopped blubbering all over Maggie I stand up and sit next to Colt again reach into my pocket and pull out a box
“Merry Christmas Colt” I hand it to him just before he opens it Maggie and Razor get up coffee, tea we both shake our heads no and they walk to the kitchen leaving us alone
“Baby what's this you already got me something”
“They were just man gifts this is your real one”
“Man gifts”
“Yeah Maggie said it's the standard you get things you need and then you get a special gift from the heart”
“Oh, I always wondered why I always got socks and underwear every yeah from my mom and then soaps and deodorants for years”
“I think you mom was telling you something Colt”
“What that I stank?”
“Maybe” I laugh “Open it Colt” he takes the box off me and opens the box
“No fuckin' way babe”
“Do you like it”
“I heard you and Stryker talking about them the other week and I've been looking for one since”
“Baby this is too much I know how much these cost”
“Colt it's a Christmas gift and you’re taking it it's from the heart dam it” I yelled the last part
“What the fucks going on why the yelling?” Razor says coming back in
“Fuck boss...... did you know what she got me”
“Why the fuck would I know that?” and he turns the box around so Razor can see in side
“Right it's a watch what of it”
“What of it...what of it boss it's an OMEGA Speed Master Racing Automatic Chronograph Black Dial”
“And”
“Boss this is a twelve-hundred-dollar watch that's what”
“Fuckin,' twelve-hundred dollars for that! fuck off”
“Ok now your pissing me off, if you don't want it Colt I'll keep it”
“Baby he grabs me and hugs me I love it it’s just too expensive”
“Colt your worth it it's my money I earned it and if I want to spend that much on you than that's what I'm going to spend” he smiles at me and kisses my nose
“Put it on me baby” I take it out of the box and help him put the watch on than he kisses me again taking my breath away
“Your turn baby”
“What you've already given me a new handbag and purse Colt I don't need anything else” even though I love my new Michael Kors bag and purse, I've never been a brand person but Diamond had a pink Michael Kors handbag at the club and I instantly fell in love
“The gift of love, remember”
“Ok”
“Close your eyes baby” when I do he grabs my hand and places a small box in the palm of my hand
“Colt” I say to scared to look at it
“Open baby and look” I slowly open my eyes and there's a small black velvet box sitting in my hand I slowly lift the lid and gasp
“Colt it's beautiful”
“Do you like it”
“Oh, I love it”
“Read the inscription” I turn it over
Niya and Colt forever
“Oh, Colt its beautiful thank you”
“Open it baby” I slowly pull on the locket and I gasp when I look inside it’s a picture of him and me a couple of weeks ago, Stryker was trying out his new camera on his phone and he took it of us
“Thank you so much”
“Turn around baby let me put it on” I turn and lift the strands of hair that have fallen out of my messy bun and then turn back to him
“You look so beautiful Niya” I smile and kiss him again. After all the gifts were done we all cleaned up and Razor and Colt watched TV while Maggie's started pre-paring for dinner at the clubhouse tonight her and Razor where going over to start cooking the six Turkeys and all the trimmings no wonder the kitchen at the clubhouse was so big. I was in my room trying to decide what outfit to wear to meet Colt’s family today I hadn't actually met them yet but I felt like I already knew them I wondered would they like me or would they hate me, god what if they did hate me. I start hyperventilate and grab the dresser shit I can't breathe
“Baby you red.......fuck baby what's wrong” Colt says coming into my room panicking when he sees me.
I'm waving my hands in front of my face to calm myself or to try and catch a breath
“I... I... I... I... c... c... c... an... an. an. t... t... t... br... br... bre...brea.... breath”
“Put your head down between your legs baby and try and breath slowly” I lean down and do as he, says, I can feel my breathing normalising
“Shit baby what happened?” a few deeper breaths and I could speak again
“I'm nervous Colt what if........what if your family don't like me”
“Baby there ganna love you”
“How do you know”
“Because I love you” he kisses my forehead “Now get dressed” I wore my new jeans with my new long-sleeved shirt with capped sleeves and black boots side braid in my hair and kept my makeup light used my new perfume and simple silver studs to match my locket “Fuck baby you look good” Colt says as I walk into the kitchen where the two of them are sitting
“Oh, honey you look so beautiful” Maggie says making me smile, but I still feel so nervous
“Thank you both of you” Razor walks in than and smiles
“Dam girl you look gorgeous”
“Oh, Razor that's the first sentence I've ever heard you say without the word fuck in it”
“Very fuckin' funny” he says and we burst into laughter
“Ok you two go and we'll see you both at the clubhouse later”
“Okie dokie see you than” I kiss them both and head out the door with Colt. Riding his bike was a little more stimulating even though it was cold out it was nice snuggling up to Colt, I had on my coat that covered me to my knees and gloves and scarf but even though it was cold I was feeling very flush. By the time we got to Colt’s mothers house I was over stimulated and blushing with the vibration of his bike stimulating places that have never been stimulated before.
“You ok baby you look flushed” I bite my lip but just nod
“I'm good” I say as he smiles at me
“Come on” I notice another couple of bikes in the driveway
“Who's here?” I nod towards the bikes not recognising them
“Tiny and Stryker always spend Christmas with us”
“Oh, shit Rochelle's not here is she”
“I fuckin' hope not mom hates that bitch” I smile and laugh
“What's funny?”
“I think I like your mom already”
“Come on baby” he takes my hand and leads me to the front stairs
“OH MY GOD” I hear yelled, then a middle age woman standing in the doorway with her arms out and gives us both a hug together
“Hay mom Merry Christmas” he says giving her a hug and kiss
“Oh, honey Merry Christmas and this must be Niya oh sweetie you’re so pretty look at you come in come in”
Chapter Fifteen
Niya
The house is nice cute Christmas decorations are placed around nice and tastefully not as many as Maggie but a fair few Colt doesn't let go of my hand and I'm grateful until the rest of his family come out. Colt's mom introduces everyone
“This is Tobias's grandmother Grace” (Tobias I mouth to Colt) and he shakes his head “And this is my sister Beth her husband Dan their two daughters Lilly and Rose this is My brother Mark and his husband Charlie and this is my other sister Alma and her husband Benny
“Nice to meet you all” I say with a little wave
“And of course, you know these two Tiny and Beau”
“Dammit mom I've told you to call us by our road names”
“Tobias Oliver Wade if you think that I went through twenty-seven hours of labour with you, with seven stitches countless stretch marks and an ass two sizes bigger than it used to be, than you are sorely mistake young man. I gave you that name Tobias the day you entered this world and I'll breath it to my last” I could see everyone with their heads down trying not to laugh except Stryker who laughed so hard and so loud everyone couldn’t help it as Colt slumped down on the sofa next to him slugging him in the arm
“Come here baby sit next to me” he pulls me down next to him
“So, Tobias huh” I say and he frowns at me
“Don't start baby it's Colt and nothing else, Stryker's still smiling as I lean over Colt
“Beau” he looks at me and shrugs his shoulders smiling
“It's a good solid name” he says smiling
The lunch was a mad house everybody talking over everyone and I couldn't help but just sit back and admire this family get together. I'd always imagined what it was like to have this experience only ever seeing things like this on TV but to actually be a part of one was a bit serial but I loved it all.
“Baby you ok” Colt leans over and whispers in my ear, I nod and smile at him
“I'm better than ok Colt” I say smiling at him and he leans down and pecks me on the lips softly and I my body comes to life, he squeezes my leg and I place my hand in his as I watch this wonderful family and friends enjoy each other’s company.
“Aren't you Jeff's daughter” Colt's Uncle asks me and I instantly freeze
“Sorry”
“Yeah you know Jeff Stevens isn't he your dad” I nod my head
“You know my father”
“Yeah he was always at my bar you know Benny's”
“Benny's”
“Yeah the name sort of gives it away” it clicks Benny's Bar and Grill
“Oh, right yeah”
“How's your old man, haven’t seen him around”
“Oh, you know he's busy” I lie feeling sick for lying to Colt’s family but what can I say that his nephew and friends torched and killed him
“Oh, right given up drinking has he”
“Something like that” I say technically not a lie dead people can't drink
“Well you tell him I said hi”
“I will” I say smiling and look at Tiny who winks at me, Colt’s grandma was the next person to ask questions
“How did you meet my grandson Niya” Shit what do I say that I was kidnapped by a bunch of bikers him being one of them and we fell in love and here we are. I go to say answer but Colt distracts everyone showing them the watch that I bought him and then proceeds to tell them about what it does taking the spotlight off of me.

By the afternoon I've managed to avoid all personal questions with Colt running interference with anything that required my life’s story and the four of us leaving for the clubhouse at the same time kisses hugs and more kisses and five minutes later we were on the road. Pulling up to the clubhouse there where bikes cars and trucks filling the compound old and new where there some of the old bikers who'd hung up the Cuts but where always Devils Soldiers where there to, the two newest members the twin Prospects. If I thought last night was a get together than I was in la la land there where kids running around women I'd never meet families everywhere one huge family reunion, Razor was dressed as Santa of course he had the Devils Soldiers embroidered on the back of the Santa outfit. It was comical when all the kids charged him to get to the sweeties he had in his bag everybody drank partied and had fun and the best thing no club whores, this was the only party out of the whole year that they weren’t allowed at Razor and Maggie introduced me to everyone and Colt kept his eye on me all night making sure I was ok. By late in the evening all of the food had been eaten kids where slowly disappearing only leaving adults, Razor had gotten the guys to light up a big bon fire out the back-placing chairs all around and Colt and I cuddled in on one of them with a blanket that Maggie had given us, we made out like two horny teenagers.
“Did you have a good day baby”
“Colt I've had the best day of my life, your family are amazing, your mom oh Colt I love her and your Grandma your Aunts and Uncles you’re a lucky man Colt. They love you so much and your cousins are so nice too, I've meet so many wonderful people today. I have Razor and Maggie and now I'm sitting here in the arms of the man I love, what wasn't to love about today”
“Fuck I love you baby”
/> “I love you to Colt” I say kissing him again

It was the day before the New Year’s Eve party and the clubhouse was getting ready, Maggie had gotten all of the Old Ladies over to help decorate the club house from top to bottom. Food was being cooked the bar in the process of being restocked with kegs placed around the room, the clubhouse was well on its way to be ready for one kick ass costume party.
