Delight (Legacies, #1)

by Erin Osborne

  When we get home, Bounce explains why I just want to head to bed to my boss. Tonya lets me know we’ll talk tomorrow and I thank her for watching Karson. Finally, Bounce walks in the room without his boots on as I’m sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing lotion into my skin.

  I’m wearing nothing more than a small pair of panties I haven’t removed yet. Bounce has a thing about wearing clothes to bed. So, I’m enjoying his eyes bugging out of his head as he watches me rub lotion into first one leg and then the other. He’s standing in the doorway and leaning against it with his arms folded across his chest.

  “See something you like?” I ask him, my voice low and sultry.

  “Oh, I definitely see somethin’ I like. A lot,” he responds.

  “Why don’t you come take a closer look then?” I ask him.

  Bounce doesn’t waste any time in walking over to me. He takes his cut off and places it on the back of the chair then removes his shirt and unbuckles his jeans as he stops in front of me. I stare up at his face as I slowly slide the zipper the rest of the way down and let his cock spring free. Opening my mouth, I slide it as far down his length as I can and he moans out my name.

  Yeah, tonight is definitely the night Bounce got over his fear of touching me. We more than made up for the time we spent apart. All night long. He worshipped my body until I couldn’t think or see straight; until I passed out from being so sated.

  Chapter Thirty-One

  Bounce

  THINGS HAVE BEEN going okay with the three of us living together. Syd and I have been talking about the baby and I’ve let her know I’m honestly scared to death about becoming a father. We’ve decided on names for a boy and girl, planned out a nursery in the spare room next to Karson and that we want to find out the sex of the baby when we can. So far, he or she isn’t cooperating though.

  We had a scan last week and I swear the technician was laughing and told us the baby was crossing their legs so we couldn’t get a look at what it is. I don’t think it’s funny. I want to know if I have to upgrade my gun collection or buy stock in condoms. Sydney does think it’s funny and keeps telling me the baby is as stubborn as I am.

  Today though, I’m nervous as fuck. In a little bit, we’re heading to the clubhouse for a cookout and I have a surprise for Sydney and Karson. That’s the only reason I’m nervous. Sydney loves all the guys in the club and they all love her. Hell, anyone who meets my woman loves her because she just has that way about her.

  “You ready to go?” Syd asks, walking out of our room wearing a dark summer dress and flip flops on her feet.

  Karson is standing next to her in a pair of jean shorts and a tee-shirt with the logo of the club on it. He’s got sneakers on his feet and a hat on his head. I can already smell the sunscreen on him and know there’s a bottle in Sydney’s purse to apply more as the rest of the afternoon goes on.

  “Yep. I’m ready to go when you are,” I answer.

  “We’re ready. I just need to grab the salads and brownies for the cookout and load them up in the car. Karson, run and get your bag for me please,” Syd responds.

  Karson takes off toward his room and appears a minute later with his book bag slung over his shoulder. We leave the house after I grab the containers of food and load them in the front seat of the car for my woman. Karson gets in his seat and Sydney leans over to buckle him in. It’s getting a little harder for her to do that as her stomach has begun to pop out with the evidence of our baby growing.

  We’ve talked to Karson and he’s excited about us having a baby together. He wants us to have a girl because he loves Syd so much. But, he wants a boy because he knows that’s what I want to have. Sydney doesn’t care either way as long as the baby is healthy and doesn’t have anything wrong because of the attacks against her.

  Leaving the house, my nerves ramp up and I can’t believe today is about to happen. It’s such a huge step for me, but I know I’m ready to take it. I’ve talked to Blood several times about what’s going to happen today and he’s ready and he’s going to be right by my side. He knows and understands how huge this is for me. For Sydney and me. If it weren’t for her and the love she shows me on a daily basis, I wouldn’t have gotten my head out of my ass and realized what was right in front of me. As it is, it almost took an ass beating from Blood and a permanent silent treatment from Tonya to make me realize it’s okay to let someone in; to love them and let them love me in return.

  I follow Sydney and Karson on my bike as we head to the clubhouse. Once we pull in, I park in my spot and quickly shut the bike off and climb off so I can help Syd and Karson. They’re parked over in the car section reserved for ol’ ladies and visitors of the club so it’s not against the fence. And there’s already a ton of people here for the party.

  After getting Karson and the food out of the car, we make our way in the clubhouse. Everyone greets us and it seems to take forever to get to the kitchen. But we finally make it there. I put the salads on the counter with the rest of the food and Syd puts the brownies on one of the tables already loaded down with desserts. Karson’s eyes bug out of his head as he takes all the food in.

  “Time to eat?” he asks.

  “Not yet, buddy. Let’s go out back and see what’s goin’ on out there,” I tell him.

  He nods his head and Syd takes his book bag before we head outside. I walk over close to the grills where Blood, Breaker, Colt, and Logan are standing. They all greet Karson with a fist bump and Blood hands him a bottled water and me a beer.

  “How you doin’, little man?” Breaker asks him.

  “Good,” Karson answers, looking at the playground we just installed for him and any other kids coming to the clubhouse. Not that there are any right now.

  “Here comes trouble,” Breaker says, as I turn around to see Lynne making her way over to us.

  “I’m not here to start anything,” she immediately says. “Tonya asked me if I’d keep an eye on Karson so you all can enjoy the cookout. That’s all I’m here for.”

  “Appreciate it,” I tell her as she ignores all of us and turns her attention toward Karson.

  “Hey, honey. Do you want to go play on the playground?” she asks him.

  Karson looks to me and I nod my head that it’s okay. I’ll be able to see him still and so will Sydney when she gets out here. He tentatively takes her hand and they walk over to the playground. I watch as he climbs up on the swing, facing us, and Lynne begins to push him gently. She’s not doing anything to hurt him or scare him. Lynne is definitely one of the better sweet butts we have here and I’m glad Tonya thought to talk to her about watching him today.

  “You ready for later on?” Blood asks me.

  “Yeah. I’m nervous as hell, but I’m ready. Is it all here?” I ask him.

  “In my office waitin’ on you,” he assures me.

  “What’s goin’ on?” Colt asks.

  “Our man here is finally claimin’ his woman,” Breaker answers.

  “Congratulations,” Colt and Logan say.

  I thank them and take a sip of my beer as Tonya and Syd start bringing out the side dishes and desserts. They place them on the tables under the canopy. As they head back inside, Colt and Logan run to catch up to them. They’ll help them while Levi is behind the bar and Charlie is on gate duty. It’s not unheard of for the sweet butts and hang arounds to show up early and today isn’t the day for that. Today is family day and that’s how it’s going to stay. Tonya put her foot down about that.

  The day has been good. Lynne has kept Karson occupied and Sydney has taken a load off and is sitting and relaxing. She’s enjoying the day by my side and talking to the different people here. Yeah, I definitely made a good choice when Sydney knocked me on my ass.

  Now, it’s time for me to give her the surprises I have for her. Colt runs into the office to grab the boxes as I call her and Karson over to me. Everyone around us shuts up and listens to what I have to say. All the officers already know what’s about to happen because they had
to vote on it. Everyone else is waiting to see what’s going on.

  “Syd, we’ve taken a long road to get where we are today. I fought myself at every corner to push you away and keep you in the friend zone. You weren’t gonna have it though. You wormed your way into my heart and life and I can’t thank you enough for givin’ me everythin’ you have. You’ve given me yourself, your unconditional love, Karson, and a new baby on the way. Today, I want to make it official,” I begin. “Syd, will you do me the honor of bein’ my ol’ lady?”

  As I pull out the rag I ordered her, Syd’s eyes fill with tears and she nods her head before turning around so I can help her put it on. I’m instantly hard as fuck as I see the ‘Property of Bounce’ on her back with our club colors. Everyone starts clapping and whistling as I pull her in for a deep kiss.

  When I pull away, I raise my hand to get everyone’s attention.

  “Today isn’t just about Sydney though. Karson, I have somethin’ for you too. You already show a love for bikes and you’re a part of our family. So, we took a vote and got you this.”

  Logan hands me another box and I pull out a small cut just for Karson. It’s got our club colors on it and the bottom rocker says, “Future Prospect’. Karson’s eyes light up and he smiles as big as his little mouth will allow him to. Sydney is standing next to us, crying. She’ll tell us it’s her hormones because she’s pregnant, but this is a moment for her too. It’s showing her we’ve not only accepted her into the family but we’ve accepted Karson too. That’s something that’s extremely important for her because not many people do.

  We hang out until the sweet butts and hang arounds begin to show up. Because I’ve been drinking today, we’re staying at the clubhouse. I’ve moved to a room that has an adjoining room so Karson can have his own space and Syd and I can have ours. Tonight, we definitely need our own space.

  Putting Karson to bed, he’s asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. I help Syd to our room and tell her to strip. Once she’s naked, I slide the rag back on her because tonight I’m going to fuck her with this on. Before I strip, I get on bended knee in front of her.

  “Sydney, as I said earlier, you have broken down all of my walls and pushed your way into my heart. I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone and I want to make this official in every way possible. I don’t have the flowery words and shit women love to hear, but will you marry me?” I ask her, once again nervous beyond belief.

  “Yes!” she whisper shouts so Karson doesn’t wake up.

  “You’ve got one month to plan the weddin’, baby. Not waitin’ forever to make you mine,” I tell her.

  I take out the ring I had made for her and slip it on her finger. She takes a minute to look at it while I strip my clothes off. The ring has a diamond in the middle surrounded by rubies. Her favorite color is red and that’s why I chose to have rubies surrounding the diamond. They form a heart and I’m happy as fuck with how it turned out. There’s a matching wedding band too. The only difference in our rings is her band has diamonds and rubies lining the entire thing. My band has one diamond and two rubies in the center of the band. All three rings are platinum.

  “On the bed on your hands and knees, baby girl,” I tell her. “Want to see my name on your back while I’m inside you.”

  Sydney does as I ask and I spend the rest of the night showing her how much I love her and how happy I am that she’s going to be in my life forever. Because I’m never letting Sydney, Karson, or our new baby go. I hope we have more than just one baby to add to our family.

  After several hours of us showing our love to one another, we fall asleep in a tangled mess of legs and arms. Sydney’s head is on my chest and I’m wrapped as tight around her as I can get. I’m the luckiest son of a bitch in the world. And I’m selfish for bringing Sydney into my life. Now that she’s here, I’m keeping her. I’m keeping them all and that’s why I’m selfish. I’m the only man who’s ever going to know how she tastes or feels wrapped around. This is the life I was meant to live and I fall asleep with a smile on my face and dreams of my family.

  Epilogue

  Sydney a.k.a Delight

  TODAY IS THE day I’ve been waiting for; I marry Bounce today. And, I’ve got a surprise for him to make today even better. I know what we’re having. Bounce couldn’t go with me to the last appointment because he was on a run so I found out what we’re having and now he gets to find out with everyone else.

  My main concern is the ceremony though. We’ll have the ceremony and then as we’re walking back down the aisle as husband and wife, one of the guys will hold out two balloons and I’ll pop the pink one for a girl or the blue one for a boy. I think Vanish is going to be the one to hold the balloons. He still feels horrible about the shit that happened at Legacies but it’s not his fault a customer decided to be a douche canoe and take matters into his own hands and beat the shit outta me when he found an opportunity.

  Tonya, Heaven, and Santana are with me as we all get ready in Bounce’s room at the clubhouse. Tonya has done my hair while Santana has done my make-up. I asked Blood to walk me down the aisle because I don’t know who the fuck my dad is and since he’s never been in my life, he wouldn’t have the chance to walk me down the aisle on one of the most important days of my life.

  Blood has been more of a father to me in the short time I’ve known him so he gets that honor. When I asked him, I shed more than one tear because I honestly didn’t know what he was going to say. Blood pulled me into his arms and held me tight to him as he told me it would be an honor for him to walk me down the aisle to Bounce.

  We’re holding the ceremony and reception at the clubhouse because as long as I’m marrying Bounce, I don’t care where we get married. I love Bounce for who he is and I don’t want him to change one thing about him for one day of our lives together. So, we’re getting married somewhere he loves, we both love, and he’s wearing his normal attire of jeans and his cut. I don’t want him to be uncomfortable for some dream he thinks I want.

  Specs is going to marry us while Carver, Breaker, and Crave stand up with him. Crave will be his best man.

  “You ready, mama?” Santana asks me just as a knock sounds on the door.

  “I’m more than ready,” I answer, a smile on my face as Blood comes in.

  “You’re all so beautiful,” he says, looking mainly at Tonya. “Syd, I have somethin’ from Bounce for you.”

  He hands me over a small box and inside, nestled in tissue paper, is a gorgeous ring. Picking it up, I see it has four birthstones in it. Two on one side of an infinity symbol and two on the other side. They represent Karson, the baby, Bounce, and me. Tears fill my eyes as I slide the ring onto my finger and hold it out for the rest of the women to see it.

  “No crying,” Tonya admonishes jokingly. “You want to get to your man and it’s going to take longer if we have redo your make-up.”

  I use the tissue Santana hands me to dab my tears away as I smile and the five of us make our way out of Bounce’s room and down to the main floor of the clubhouse. Vanish hands me a bouquet of flowers; roses and baby’s breath as I get to the door.

  The women walk out and Blood waits for the wedding march to come on before he leads me out the back door of the clubhouse. My eyes immediately zoom in on Bounce standing at the end of the aisle with Karson standing right in front of him. Bounce has one arm on Karson’s shoulder as he looks up at me and his entire face lights up with a smile. I can see the love pouring from the man who vowed never to have an ol’ lady or children. He’s opened himself up to not only me, but to Karson and our new baby as well.

  As soon as we stop at the front of the crowd, Blood gives me a kiss on my cheek while Bounce growls at him. The crowd laughs at the two grown men. After handing me over to Bounce, Blood sits down in the front row and I take the last step to Bounce and Karson. I turn to hand my bouquet to Santana and hold out my hands for Bounce and Karson. We decided we wanted him to be a part of our ceremony and that he’d stand with us as we
got married.

  “We’re goin’ to keep this short and sweet,” Specs says. “Bounce and Syd have decided to say their own vows today. Bounce, go ahead.”

  “Everyone knows I never wanted a family; I already have one in the club. I didn’t want to waste my time with an ol’ lady or kids because I didn’t want to be tied down. Freedom to live my life the way I want was the most important thing to me. Until you. Syd, you captured my attention the first time I saw you walkin’ in town with a little boy in tow. When I saw you up close, I knew I had to have you and thought I’d be done with you after one time inside you. Instead, you captured me heart and soul. Then, I thought I was too dumb and lost the only good thing in my life. Not once, but twice,” Bounce says as tears pour from my eyes. “Sydney, you don’t take my freedom away from me or hold me back at all. You make my life better and I’m a better man because of havin’ you in my life. Karson too. You’ve given me the gift of Karson and our new little one and I’ll never be able to thank you for everythin’ you give me on a daily basis. I love you more than my Harley.”

  Once again the crowd laughs. I do to. Leave it to Bounce to say he loves me more than his Harley.

  “Syd, it’s your turn,” Specs says when he calms down.

  “Bounce, I never wanted a man in my life. You know why. I just never thought it was in the cards for me. Yeah, I knew I wanted you, but I didn’t think it was going to be permanent or as much as I do. You treat Karson as if he’s your own and you have since the first time you laid eyes on him. Your actions show how much you love and care for us each and every day. It’s the little things you do that captured my heart and make me fall even more in love with you on a daily basis. Our new baby will only make our lives better and we’ll be the family we always wanted and didn’t get. I’ll stand by your side until I’m taken from this Earth and I’ll continue to love and watch over you from beyond. Bounce, I love you more than you love your Harley,” I tell him with tears streaming down my face.
