“I’m good, you seen Cherry?”
He cupped his hand over his ear, “Who?”
“Cherry! Have you seen her?” I screamed louder.
“Oh yeah! She’s in the lockbox,” he pointed towards the back and my entire heart dropped and the anger began to rise again.
I grabbed the keys from behind the bar and raced as fast as I could to the back room, this time I didn’t even wait to hear what was going on, I pushed the door open and let it hit the wall behind it.
“What the fuck!” Cherry jumped sky high at the intrusion, clearly she wasn’t expecting it.
I rolled in and looked around the empty room.
“Where is he?” I asked looking towards the small bathroom attached to the room.
“Where is who?” Cherry asked looking around with me.
“The bitchass whose dick you decided to jump on today.” I got closer to the bathroom and didn’t hear a peep.
“Ryder, are you serious?” Cherry asked from behind me.
I turned to look at her. She shook her head and stormed back to the corner. “I am not in here fucking anyone, I haven’t brought anyone in here since the last time you said something. I am getting really tired of all your bullshit.”
She was alone?
Now I felt like an asshole, “Shit, my bad. I just assumed.” I rolled back towards her, “What are you doing back here then?”
“I’m restocking, I want the girls to have condoms and shit, not to have to worry about the man bringing one to the party.” She slammed a few things down and tried to storm passed me.
I reached out and grabbed her hand before she could get far, “Hey listen, I’m sorry. That’s real. I don’t know, I just got so pissed off when Lucky told me you were back here in the lockbox.”
“Ryder, you knew what I was from the start, you guys have never made me feel bad about my sexual needs and now it seems like that is all you do. I can’t take this, not from you.”
I looked around, trying to find a way out of this conversation but I knew that I needed to talk to her about it.
‘“I know and I don’t want you to feel bad about your sexual needs. I love that you are so insatiable, it's always been a personal challenge. I just want more for you Charity.” I pulled her down so she could sit on my lap, I wanted to be on her level. “I want Larry to be able to look up to you, you deserve someone who is going to take care of your every need, someone to make you breakfast in bed and fuck your brains out for dinner, someone who will treat you like a princess.”
She shook her head and tried to get up but I held her steady on my lap, “Ryder, you and I know that I am never going to get that. I am a club bunny. I’ll never get the white picket fence and the big fancy wedding. I chose this life and now I have to stay here. Yeah, now that I’m a little older, I envy some of the other women who are ol’ ladies but I know I will never be one and I accept that.”
“You are more than just a club bunny, Cherry. Stop saying that. You are a club owner, you supervise dozens of women, you are the woman of our home, you’re a great mother. Your days as just a club bunny are long gone.” I swiped a strand of hair behind her ear. “Why do you think I didn’t tell Wire the truth about what happened between us. He would’ve had no choice but to ban you from the club and we would all be lost. What the hell would I do without my Charity?”
“Oh, Ryan.” She melted into me, her head resting on my shoulder. “There you are.” She whispered in my ear.
I laughed slightly, patting her bottom softly, “Don’t get used to it babygirl, I’ll be cursing and screaming again in no time.”
“So I guess that means that I should take this opportunity while I can, huh?” She turned and softly straddled my lap. She kissed me softly, and just the feel of her lips on my caused my whole body to relax.
“You always could read my mind babe.” I wrapped my arms around her and deepened the kiss. This woman was like my own personal oasis, she quenched a thirst in me no one else could satisfy.
I ran my fingers in her long, soft hair, combing her silky stands slowly.
“Mmm, Ryan.” She let her head fall back into my hands, the strands of her hair kissing the small of her back. She was clearly enjoying the feel of my hands on her scalp, “Am I hurting you, is this ok?” She asked in a whisper.
“This is perfect Charity, absolutely perfect.” I let my head fall to her neck where I kissed and licked in the sensitive spot. She put her hands into my hair and pulled my lips up to hers. She kissed me slowly, letting her tongue play inside my mouth. I loved that shit, I wanted her dizzy with want by the time we finished. I let my hands roamed down her back and squeezed her ass softly. “You are a fucking masterpiece Charity, the best.”
“Ryan, you always make me feel so much. You’re so overwhelming. I never want to give you up even though I know I have to.”
I stopped kissing on her, not because of what she said but because of what I wanted to say. For the first time in my life, I didn’t want her to give me up.
“Let’s just think about right now baby, let me adore every part of you while we have each other all to ourselves.
“Yes, daddy.” She purred and swiveled her hips on my lap.
I growled and squeezed her ass a bit harder. I let my hands fall down to her full hips and I trailed my fingers up, she was wearing the smallest of G-strings. “Damn baby, what are you doing to me. I pushed her forward on my lap just a little, enough that I was able to move the string and play with her soaking wet pussy.
“Oh, yes. It’s been so long. I need to cum Ryan. Please.”
“Your wish is my command.” I rubbed her nub softly but quickly and used my free arm to make sure she didn’t fall.
Her hands roamed over my body and to my surprise when she got down to my cock it was as hard as a rock.
“Ryan, do you trust me?” She asked sitting forward and looking me in my eyes.
“Yes,” I said immediately.
“Can I try something if it's no good we can stop immediately, just say the word. I don’t want you to feel embarrassed or ashamed, ok.”
“Cherry? What are you about to ask me to do?”
“Nothing, nothing, just sit there and relax.” She quickly undid my belt and zipper and pulled out my dick. It was a dark red, a small bead of pre-cum at the tip.
“Cherry, you’ll get lockjaw before anything happens. Don’t worry about me babe, let me take care of you.”
“No, no, I don’t want that. I want this?” She raised up on her knees, used her hand to move her panties all the way to the side and slowly slid down on my dick.
I was panting before she was able to seat herself fully on my cock. I was starting to panic. I had been getting some sensations in my legs and my pelvis but so far, my cock only showed up for duty but he never let me know he was working. I was about to embarrass the hell out of myself but if it satisfied her I was willing to do it.
She held on to my neck tight, her front was completely flush with mine. She wasn’t looking me in the face, maybe not to make me uncomfortable. “Are you ok?” She whispered.
“Yes, I’m ok.” I didn’t know how else to reassure her.
“Can I move?” She asked.
“Yes.”
With that she slowly began to flex her legs up and down, bouncing only barely on my lap. That pressure that I had felt before in my arms and chest started again, only this time it was radiating from my head down to my midsection and every so often I would feel a tingle in my legs. We kissed and she fucked me, she kept her composure until she was close to cumming. “Oh, hell, yes, yes. You feel so good Ryan, you always feel so good.” She moaned in my ear. She swirled her hips a little faster, grinding down hard on my lap. A shock of electricity struck out from the center of my abdomen to the base of my dick and I bucked forward slightly.
“Shit.”
She pulled back from me fast, looking into my eyes. “What’s wrong? Am I hurting you?” She tried to get off my lap and I pulled her bac
k down.
“Do that again.”
Her eyes opened wide, “Yeah?”
“Charity, do it again,” I begged.
She dropped down and ground on me again, the electricity sparked again. A strong pull from my lower abdomen towards my cock let me know that I was close to cumming. She picked up again slowly and ground on me one more time.
I sucked in a breath, wrapped my arms around her waist, drop my head to her shoulder and I cried.
“Ryan! Ryan, what’s wrong! Tell me. Please.” She tried to push my head off her shoulder but I wasn’t ready to let go of her just yet. “Ryan, you’re scaring me, please.”
This time I let her push me back, I smiled wider than I had in years. She cradled my face in her hands.
“Tell me.”
I let out a small laugh, “My dick works.”
She rolled her eyes, and playfully smacked my shoulder. “You had me thinking something was wrong.”
“Nothing in the world is wrong right now.” I kissed her gently and she raised up on me slowly again making sure to grind down. A deep rumbling grunt came from my throat as the sensations continued to wake up inside me little by little. I couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Charity, I need more. Can you handle more? I can’t stop… fuck.” I held onto her ass tight, trying to force myself to keep my composure.
“Take it, daddy, it’s all yours.”
“Thank fuck.” I slid my hands under her thighs picked her up and slammed her down hard on my cock. The lightning bloomed further in my body. I chased that feeling over and over until Cherry was screaming out my name and she had fallen completely limp in my arm. I was fucking her as hard as I could using only my arms. “Oh shhh…” I didn’t even have time to prepare her for my climax. The sensation pushed through my cock so suddenly, the only thing I could do was lift her bare pussy off my cock as it spurted wildly between us, spraying both of us with my seed.
“You felt all that?” Cherry asked
“Not all of it but the most important parts, yes I did.” I relaxed back in my chair and let her get down.
“Um, so any change in the legs?” She brought a wet wipe to where I was sitting and wiped me down.
I could feel the pressure but not enough to the point where I could move my legs, “No, still nothing.” I was trying not to think too much about it. Things happen in their own time. I knew that with time and as long as I put everything I had into the physical therapy I would get back to where I was or as close as possible.
I fixed myself and checked my phone, Storm texted me five minutes earlier to let me know that he was done with the count and would wait for me in the truck.
“I gotta get back, Storm is outside waiting for me.”
“Oh, can you guys give me a ride or are you going for more pickups?”
“No, we’re headed home, come on.”
We said our goodbyes to Maven and Lucky and made our way to the back where Storm was.
“Ugh!” A guttural grunt came from the other side of the van, “Motherfucker.”
The sound of flesh hitting flesh came from the same place. I raced to the other side of the truck to see Storm getting wailed on by two dudes in jean rags. The strange J looking symbol stitched in bright red in the light material.
“What the fuck!” I yelled out trying to get the attention of the two men and I pulled my gun from where I kept it hidden at the small of my back. They stood up from beating on him and looked in my direction. I aimed but before I could squeeze the trigger, someone else ran up behind me and pulled the weapon from my hand.
He had the same jean kutte on, he looked at my weapon and tossed it to the side like it was a fucking paperweight.
He used his foot to push my chair forward, depositing me on the floor right along with it.
I turned over if I was about to get shot, I wanted to see it coming.
“Who the fuck are you? Do you know who’s shit you are messing with right now? You’re gonna wish you chose a different truck boy.”
“Look at this old dog here.” He kicked me once in my gut causing me to curl to my side in pain. “You think we’re scared of you? You think your little club strikes any fear in our hearts? I promise you it doesn’t. We let you think you ran this town long enough, the Djinn era has officially started. I guess you can let your President know that he just graduated to being my bitch. Actually, I think I’ll leave him a note.”
He started kicking me again, the two men behind were still beating on Storm who was much too silent for my liking.
“Stop!” A loud screeching voice echoed behind everything. The kicking stopped as he turned to see who it was. “You leave them alone and get the hell out of here.”
Cherry had picked up my gun and pointed it at them.
“Oh sweet girl, you know you don’t want to do that. Just give me that and I’ll take good care of you.”
“Don’t you fucking talk to her.” I wheezed out from the floor.
“Cher...shoot, shoot them.” Storm whispered from his position on the floor. His breathing was ragged.
“Stop! Just go the fuck away.”
“Nah, girl, you too sweet for me to just go away.” The man rushed her and in quick succession, Cherry pulled the trigger three times. Two in the chest, one in the head.
The man who was previously kicking the shit out of me, lay lifeless on the dirt in front of me. The two men behind me took one step in her direction but Cherry was quick, she didn’t hesitate to get him in her sights. “That is your life.” He threatened her. He backed up staring her down all the way until they both made it to their crotch rockets, they were riding Kawasaki’s, that shit in itself pissed me off.
Once they peeled off Cherry raced to my side. “Oh baby, Ryder, what do I do?”
“Check on Storm,” I mumbled trying to stay conscious.
“Ok, I’m going.” She stood up and ran over to Storm.
It was a few seconds and I didn’t hear Storm talk, “Brother!” I screamed out. “Stop fucking around.”
I turned on my stomach, a sharp excruciating pain burned through my back, I grunted and dug my hands into the dirt and pulled myself through the pain. I crawled on my belly to where Cherry was trying to wake Storm up. She was shaking him and crying but he wasn’t responding.
I made my way to him and checked to make sure he was still breathing. There was a lot of blood coming from his head but he was still breathing.
“Cherry, we need to get out of here, go inside and get some help.”
“Ok, I can do that.” She jumped up and ran back inside the building.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket. I dialed Wire but it went straight to voicemail, so Clean was the next on the line. He picked up.
“Barry’s Kitty Clinic, if you got pussy I want it!” He answered the phone, a group of people laughed around him.
“What the fuck did you say?” Someone laughing in the background asked him. “Only you would say that dumb shit. I’m going to answer the phone like that next time.
“Clean.” I tried to call out to him but he was too busy laughing at his own joke to hear me good.
“Bullshit, get your own shit,” Clean yelled at whoever was there with him.
“Clean!” I screamed at the phone.
“Yeah, Ryder, damn you in a bad mood again?” He stopped laughing and finally started speaking to me.
“Clean, we’re fucked. Call everyone. We down.”
“Shut the fuck up!” Clean screamed to everyone who was near him before coming back to the phone with me. VP Clean was on the phone now, “Ryder, what are you talking about brother? Where you at? We’re rolling right now.”
“We’re at Satin Wings, Storm is in a bad way. Fuck, just get here Clean.” I let the phone fall down to the ground and rolled over to my back. Storm was still unconscious and the pain in my back was excruciating, I looked up at the sky, my equilibrium was off and I could feel the world spinning.
“What the shit!” Maven and
Lucky came running out the club, Maven and Cherry dropped down to my side while Lucky ran over to where Storm was.
“Goddamn it. Girls, he needs a doctor, right now, and we need to get this guy to the doctor, he’s pale as hell.” I heard him dial someone on the phone and start talking. I could only assume it was his people at the Spawns but I passed out before I could hear the entire conversation.
I could feel myself floating deeper and deeper into the blackness but there was nothing I could do to stop it; in fact, it was so peaceful my body seemed to just want to give up. The thunder underneath my body is what brought me back to consciousness. I opened my eyes to see Cherry hovering over me, big tears falling onto my face.
“Ryder, wake up ok. Please just be ok.” She cried while she gently rubbed my face and head.
“They’re here, it’s about fucking time.” Maven jumped up from where she was.
The ground was shaking harder now, if I didn’t know better I would have thought it was an earthquake but no, that rumble I felt under my body was my brothers. It must have been the entire club that came because the roar of the bikes drowned out any other sound as they made their way to our location. Engines cut off and people started running towards us.
“Ryder!” Wire yelled out before he could make his way to me. He skidded to a stop and dropped down next to me, “Ripper check on Storm.”
“On it!”
The entire Wings of Diablo crew minus Archer was there, and even Tex, Shepard and Rooster from our brother crew, Spawns of Chaos, were there, weapons in hand.
“Madre de dios! What the fuck happened here.” Rooster walked around to the body of the Djinn member that was cooling on the dirt.
“Clean, get over there and see if that fuck has any identification. I want to know who he is.” Wire called out not leaving my side.
A few seconds past, Wire and Shepard were both trying to figure out a way to move me and Storm without having to bring an ambulance here.
“Oh shit.” I heard Clean’s telltale expression of trouble. As did everyone else, and it seemed they all had the same reaction as I. They closed their eyes and just sighed out in defeat. Clean has never said the words, oh shit and things were ok. Not since I’ve known him.
