KILLIAN: The O'Donnell Mafia

by Zoey Parker

  “This is really you, isn’t it?” I asked her.

  “It is. That’s why I fell for you, Gunner. I was only working so much when I was around you. I couldn’t work any harder on you because you just disarmed me every time you spoke or touched me.”

  “That’s what I thought,” I told her.

  “Well, come on,” she said, pulling on me. “Let’s join the MC outside. Everything’s over now. Let’s enjoy some much needed downtime. And besides, I didn’t put on this bikini for nothing, you know.” She gave me her devilish grin as she pulled away from me and backed up through my door to the patio.

  The celebration was going full swing, and before I knew it, I had a plate of food in my hand and a new drink. Our DJ was cranking out some old classic rock tunes for everyone to rock out to, and I needed to find a place to sit so I could eat the massive steak in front of me.

  The guys had really outdone themselves this time. It had been a couple of years since we’d done anything like this, and it was really good for the MC to have it at my place. Everyone was safe, and we had private security watching over us, so we didn’t have to worry about anyone coming in and causing trouble while we partied.

  I tried not to think about business while I sat outside, but I still had the diamond on me. I wasn’t going to leave it lying around again. We had to reach back out to our original buyer and see if we could get more money this time, especially since it had changed hands again, technically. We basically had to try to kill someone and steal from them to get it back.

  The value had to have shot up.

  As I watched my old lady jump into the pool, I realized that we now had access to a jewelry specialist. She had spent her entire career stealing valuable jewels. She had to know something about them. Sierra might not have realized it, but she was about to be a big help in getting someone to purchase the Sun Stone from The Immortal Devils.

  Epilogue

  Sierra

  “You look great,” Cora said, stepping back to look at me. It was the first time I could remember another woman genuinely paying me a compliment. There was no knife aimed at my back, and it wasn’t in the heat of business. Cora, Duncan’s old lady, really thought I looked great.

  I turned and looked at myself in the mirror. I hadn’t dyed my hair like I had mentioned on several occasions. I never assumed a new identity or anything like that. I had stuck by Gunner, and I had become a prominent member of The Immortal Devils. I sat at the table with the original five founding members at meetings. Duncan had even accepted me as an equal in the organization, which I felt created a huge responsibility for me to uphold his respect.

  The woman looking back at me in the mirror, though, wasn’t just a top member of the MC. She was a gorgeous redhead in a beautiful white wedding dress with a large bouquet of roses in her hand. I tried not to tear up. I was wearing more makeup than ever before as well, thanks to the women surrounding the MC now.

  Who knew that when Gunner was standing with me on the balcony talking about a new chapter in the MC’s story, the next chapter would be the one about old ladies? There had been a few women hanging around that day, but not a single one of them had lasted long enough to make it to the wedding.

  Shortly after that day, just over a year ago, Gunner had proposed to me at Lois’s old restaurant in his home town. We had gone by there just to see if it was still open and if she was still around. She was still around, and she had expanded the restaurant over the years. She was still in the same house, but she’d added on to the dining area to accommodate more people.

  She had recognized Gunner the moment he walked in, except she called him Easy Rider because of the bike he drove. Once dinner was over, he got down on one knee and proposed to me. It wasn’t anything special, and he didn’t make a big fuss over it. Later, he told me he did it that way so it didn’t seem like he was trying to woo me with money.

  He had offered me two rings, though, one with regular diamonds, and one encrusted with golden diamonds. I accepted both, but I put away the golden one, since I thought it was special to us.

  Once he shared our engagement with the MC, more permanent women started to show up. Of course, Cora was first. Then, Luther had found a fiery little redhead of his own named Aya. Bryce was dating a bookworm with a wild streak named Dawn, and Venom had found a woman just like himself. Ruby was wiry and muscular, and she liked to drink and fight. She looked damn good in leather, too.

  In fact, she was the only bridesmaid not wearing a dress at the wedding. I thought it was appropriate because of it being Ruby and the fact that the only people present were from the MC, so she was going to be standing at the end of the line of bridesmaids with her colors on and black leather pants. She did not often wear shirts, opting for a bikini top or bra when she was in public, so I had agreed to allow her just to wear the vest for the wedding.

  It was amusing and aggravating at the same time, just as everything else had been over the last year, but in about an hour it was going to all be worth it.

  “You do. You look great,” Cora repeated herself, snapping me back out of my head.

  “Thanks, we should probably let the guys know we’re ready,” I told her.

  “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it. You wait until you hear the music.”

  Cora ran out of the room, and a few minutes later, she came back in to get me as the music started for us to line up and march down the aisle.

  We were getting married in a large, beautiful church. The inside was almost as white as my wedding dress. It was a very wide open space with lots of natural light pouring in through the windows, and everyone from the MC sat in the pews while the pastor stood up front, waiting patiently to marry us.

  Of course, the groomsmen were the original founding members, and the bridesmaids were their old ladies. The order in which the procession ran did not indicate anyone’s rank in the MC. We had to make sure everyone understood that. The only reason Venom and Ruby started the procession was because she did not want to wear a dress.

  She did make me wish we had a stripper pole up at the altar, but the pastor wouldn’t go for it.

  There were a few whistles and catcalls as Ruby made her way up the aisle with her jet black hair, her tight, shiny leather pants showing of her perfect, tight little ass, and her breasts barely hiding behind her vest. I blushed as I watched her walk up, realizing that while the idea had been amusing, it was incredibly inappropriate to let it happen.

  Oh well, it was happening.

  Next, Bryce and Dawn walked up. Dawn and the rest of the girls wore deep red dresses to match the roses we had picked out for the flowers in the wedding. Dawn adjusted her thick, black-rimmed glasses a couple of times on the way up the aisle. She wore her golden brown hair swept up on top of her head. She was adorable, and probably the smartest person in the room.

  Luther walked with Aya on his arm, and I had never seen one man care for a woman as much as he did for her. I knew that Gunner and I shared something that no one else had, but no one showed it the way Luther did. He really was a gentle giant, but he was such a sweet, caring person anyway.

  Then, of course, Duncan and Cora walked up together. It was no surprise that Duncan was the best man. Everyone had expected it. In every way possible, he was Gunner’s right hand man.

  Seeing those four men standing at the altar in their tuxedo shirts and slacks with their colors over the shoulders of their tux jackets, I knew it was real. I knew that everything that had happened over the last year, from being accepted into the MC to helping Gunner and Duncan secure the sale of the Sun Stone, had simply just been a trial run compared to what lay ahead of me. I knew that once the ceremony was over, I wasn’t just going to be Mrs. Sierra Kaye. I was going to be a full-fledged member of The Immortal Devils. My name might as well have been Sierra Immortal at that point.

  I took a deep breath as the music changed to indicate that the bride and groom were approaching. Since I had no one else to walk me down the aisle, no one to give me away, I chos
e to approach with Gunner. We were already married in our hearts as far as I was concerned, so it was incredibly symbolic to me for us walk arm and arm down the aisle.

  “You ready?” he whispered as we stepped toward each other. He looked like a nervous little kid who was trying to keep from laughing.

  “I am if you are,” I told him, offering him my arm.

  We walked slowly up the aisle, and I thought about everything that had happened between us from the first time we met up until that day, our wedding day. I thought about how much my life had changed, and how much change I had seen in him as well.

  I should have known that night when I sat and stared at the pictures in his office. I should have known that we were going to end up together. Neither one of us had cared much for the idea of settling down. Yet, we had spent so much of our time together acting like we were doing just that. Looking back, it had been obvious all along that we were going to end up settling down together, if we ever did at all.

  I looked into my love’s eyes while we listened to the pastor and while we said our vows. I knew I wasn’t settling at all. I knew that my life was going to continue to be just as exciting as it had ever been before.

  We were not letting go of the MC. We were planning on expanding it with the money we had added to its wealth. I was one of the top six members, and under my watch, we were already expanding to allow women into the MC. They weren’t just the old ladies. Ruby had her own colors. She was a full member, and she even had her own motorcycle. So did Aya. There were several female members of The Immortal Devils watching us from the pews.

  No one was settling for anything in that church. And no one was coming down either. If anything, we were getting ready to take each other higher, together, and we were going to take the MC with us.

  Finally, as we came to the end, we looked deep into each other’s eyes, and both of us, fighting back huge smiles and tears of joy, said in turn, “I do.”

  As we embraced and kissed in front of the entire MC, the place erupted with cheers and whistles. Gunner shook against me as his groomsmen patted him on the back. My bridesmaids did the same.

  It was the loudest, most joyous wedding I had ever been to, but I wasn’t prepared for what was coming next. As we were getting ready to leave the church, everyone lined up outside for me to toss the bouquet. In the melee that ensued after the flowers left my hands, Ruby lost her vest. She also caught the flowers, so she stood up and raised the bouquet in one hand and held the other one up just because. She was completely topless in the church parking lot, and everyone loved it.

  Then, as we were leaving for the reception, everyone on a motorcycle sat lined up with their bikes purring. As we walked out to the limo—I wasn’t getting on a motorcycle in my wedding dress, thank you very much—they revved up their engines loudly, creating a loud roar in the parking lot and getting the attention of passers-by.

  I got into that limousine with my new husband and the first man I had ever really allowed myself to love, I honestly felt like I had a real family for the first time.

  As we pulled out of the parking lot, the bikes followed us in pairs. If the two of us riding together in front of that long line of bikers didn’t perfectly sum up our relationship and our future, nothing could have.

  The road ahead was ours, and I’d be damned if it wasn’t Immortal.

  GUNNER: The Immortal Devils MC

  IN AND OUT, IN AND OUT… AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

  That was every good thief’s mantra – and I was the best.

  But I was no match for Gunner Kaye.

  I tried to steal from him.

  In return, he’s about to take everything from me.

  I should’ve known better than to lie to him.

  With eyes like his – piercing, perfect, impossible to resist – I was powerless.

  I couldn’t say no to that body.

  To those hands.

  So powerful.

  So capable.

  But I tried anyways.

  He had everything – power, money, ambition.

  I had only my body and my wits.

  And when I failed, he took them from me.

  But oh, God, the way he did it was the best kind of torture.

  His tongue was his whip.

  His words were his chains.

  His mind was his maze.

  And I’d be happy to stay stuck in here forever.

  This heist should’ve been a suicide mission.

  Luckily, I’m surviving – so far…

  But only time will tell if Gunner is my ticket to happiness…

  Or a fast track to hell.

  BOUGHT BY THE BAD BOY: A Dark Mafia Romance

  ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN BE BOUGHT – EVEN AN ANGEL LIKE HER.

  My life is about control.

  I control myself: my body, my emotions, my little slice of the criminal underworld.

  But when I saw my little kitten on that stage, I lost all control.

  I knew one thing only: I had to have her, no matter the cost.

  I’m only here because I owe a man my life.

  He saved me from death’s door years ago.

  In return, I do what needs to be done for him.

  This gig ain’t for the lighthearted.

  Good thing I’m the farthest thing from that.

  I’m darkness, inside and out.

  This is just a job for me.

  At least, that’s what I used to think.

  Until she took the stage.

  I don’t know what brought her here.

  Frankly, I don’t give a damn.

  Her past doesn’t matter anymore.

  Neither does mine.

  All that matters is that I have her.

  All to my g*ddamn self.

  STARSTRUCK: A Dark Bad Boy Romance (The Destroyers MC)

  She thinks she’s an angel. But I’m gonna make her my horny little devil.

  I’m from the gutter. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

  But when I decide I want something, no obstacle can stop me.

  As Abby Woodard’s new bodyguard, her body is literally my responsibility.

  And I plan on being very… hands on.

  It’s like she’s playing a game:

  How far can I push him?

  She should know better.

  I’m not a man who likes being provoked.

  But that isn’t stopping her.

  The back sass, the disobedience…

  It’s all becoming too much.

  Time to do what I’ve wanted to do since the moment I ended up in this stupid job:

  Bend the little princess over my knee and spank her until she learns her lesson.

  What happens after that is… complicated.

  Explosive.

  Unexpected.

  And it crosses every damn line in existence.

  Maybe I shouldn’t have f**ked her.

  But now that I have, there’s not a man on earth who will keep me away from what’s mine.

  HIS POSSESSION: A Dark Bad Boy Baby Romance (Vicious Thrills MC)

  BOTH SHE AND HER UNBORN BABY ARE NOW IN MY POSSESSION.

  This wasn’t the place for a girl like her.

  Pregnant and desperate – I’d seen it before.

  I should’ve turned her away – but I couldn’t say no to a body like that.

  My kindness comes with a price, though. And if she wants my protection, she’d better be ready to pay.

  I don’t care tha
t she’s pregnant, that she’s desperate, that she’s poor.

  If I had a nickel for every time I’d heard that story, I’d be off screwing blond bimbos in the Bahamas, not running a strip club in the seedy part of town.

  But instead, I’m here.

  I needed new dancers, and in walks Lucy, with a sob story to make a man cry…

  And a body to make a man hard.

  I should’ve done what I always do in this kind of situation:

  Shut the door in her face.

  But this one was different.

  Something special happened when she touched that pole.

  The lights on her skin, the sway of her hips…

  I wanted to take her right then and there.

  But I’m a man of self-control.
