Redeeming Ace's Heart

by M. T. Ossler

  The sound of our moans, my purrs, skin hitting wet skin from our bodies, the only sound in the otherwise quiet room. So loud, a frustrating pleasure takes me over.

  “Blue, more, please,” I purr through my begging. He knows what the more I need is and hopefully, he’ll give it to me, now. He leaves my body, spins me around, places my sore bottom on the desk, and then enters me again. Looking into my eyes with heat.

  “Touch your pussy, kitten. Make yourself cum for me.” He loves watching me play with myself. It arouses him so much more and he’ll cum hard and fast from it.

  So, I work faster and press down, rolling my clit around for him to see. He pistons in me, I make myself cum and scream his name. Once his name leaves my lips, I feel him pulsating inside me and roars loudly into my neck.

  Falling back onto the desk, heaving, panting for breath and quivering with him on top of me, we stay holding one another for a few minutes. Once our breathing returns to normal, he kisses me. Fiercely, for what feels like forever, until we’re interrupted by a sound of knocking at the door.

  Hunter grunts into my mouth, “Yeah.” We stare into each other’s eyes, foreheads pressed together and waiting for them to speak. I feel his manhood leave my body with the slight movement.

  “You two do realize my office is next door and you ain’t exactly quiet,” Gator says from the other side of the door. Hunter smiles and we both burst out laughing.

  “I’ll take that as you don’t give a shit,” Gator grunts. We hear his loud footfalls retreating back to his office. We hear all the guys in his office laughing through the wall. I should be embarrassed, but honestly, I’m not. I love Hunter and he loves me, what we did in his office is nothing to be ashamed of.

  He helps me off the desk and disposes of the condom, into his trash can. We both redress and head back out hand and hand.

  I finish in the kitchen and we all sit down to a spectacular family Thanksgiving dinner together. Laughter rings in my ears helping my heart not to hurt as much from all the loss. Surrounded by love of a new family and old friends helps.

  The next day the guys gather all the Christmas stuff in the building. They set up a tree in the media room and decorations in the bar. Ryder and Ces run to the store and purchase everything else we may need for the Clubhouse. Gio, Bella, and Gigi made all their purchases online for their apartment.

  It’s really beginning to feel a lot like Christmas around here. Since Bella is stuck on strict bedrest, doctor’s orders, we will spend it at their apartment.

  Hunter and I shopped together for everyone, I don’t think I’ve ever purchased this many gifts for one occasion. I love it though, it feels so right. Ces and I did some shopping of our own for our men too. The prospects had to tag along, but it was better than having Ryder and Hunter with us.

  It was just what I needed after being stuck in the Clubhouse for months. After Thanksgiving, the guys gave us phones. Gigi, Bella, Ces and I all got iPhones. It is so nice to be able to text again. It helps with Bella on bedrest and when Gigi starts school after the holidays, we will be able to stay in contact with her. We were even able to FaceTime Bella from the mall and include her in our little shopping trip.

  Val, Romeo, Lorenzo, and Bash decided to stay with us. Thank God, the girls and I couldn’t take losing them. To be honest, I don’t think they could have taken losing us. The head of the Mafia, Ricco, had his son take over Uncle C’s organization for the guys. It was an unheard-of proposition, but after losing their parents and what happened to Bella, he understood and wanted us all to stay together.

  So, starting the end of next month, January, the four of them will be prospecting for the Club. Hunter, Gio, and Gator are making special provisions for them since they have been trained for the Mafia. Val was supposed to take over as the head. Lorenzo and Romeo would have been his second and third. They will only prospect for four months instead of a year. Bash will have a little longer since he needs more training. He’ll have to serve six months to a year depending on his progress. It’s going to be weird seeing them in jeans and leather kuttes instead of their suits, but I think it will fit them just fine.

  Tonight is Christmas Eve and I'm just finishing up my makeup. The food is all prepared and Maggie and her girls, Chrissy, and Jan will set it out for me. My partners in cooking, Aunt Cindy, Gigi and Ces and I have been cooking all week with the help of Maggie and her girls.

  It’s been a jam-packed house for a few days. We are at full capacity like we were for the lockdown. Maddox and his guys are here along with Gator’s blood brothers. His brother Animal, Prez of the Miami chapter is here with some of his men and his girlfriend, not ol’ lady, Kate. His younger brother Blade, Prez of the Pensacola chapter is here, too, with a few of his men.

  Spending time with everyone from the other chapters is nice. I just wish I could remember all their names. One day, I’m sure.

  “Kitten, are you ready?” Hunter asks entering the room just as I finish my lip gloss.

  “Yes,” I say puckering my lips, then walk to him for a kiss. It’s no smudge loss so it won’t transfer to his lips.

  Things with Hunter have been beyond great and I find myself always in his arms lately. He seems to feel the same way, always keeping me close and touching me in one way or another.

  “Put this on, there’s a chill-out tonight. Let’s go,” he says, handing me my jacket. I give him a questioning look as I take my leather jacket from him and he helps me put it on. I’m not sure why I need my jacket, but I won’t ask. One thing I’ve learned about Hunter is if he doesn’t give an explanation then I have to wait. If I ask he won’t answer me and I get a spanking. Not that I don’t like them, but not now.

  Tonight, I have on a red strapless form-fitted dress. I designed it and Ces found the fabric and did his magic. It’s short, to my mid-thigh. The weather is cool out, but the Clubhouse is warm, so I figured it would be perfect. I have on sheer black thigh high stockings and black heels.

  He takes my hand and escorts me out without a word. When we enter the backyard, guys are milling about. He grabs one of the golf carts and helps me in, then takes off to the lake, next to Bella and Gio’s almost done house.

  After helping me out he leads me over to the lake. We stay quiet and look out at the view for a few minutes.

  “That right there is my favorite spot,” he says pointing and looking over at the land to our left. Bella’s house is to our right, they have the prime shop on the center lake.

  “I talked to Benny a few months ago and asked him to draw up some plans. He has them ready and I would like us to sit down with him and pick one.”

  He turns back to me and gets down on one knee. He’s holding my left hand with his left and in his right is a small red velvet box.

  Oh, my God, I can’t breathe, my heart is pounding, and my hand is shaking in his. I’m weak at the knees. He’s gonna... He wants to... Oh God, I love this man kneeling before me.

  “Julietta Maria, I want to spend forever with you. I want to build a home, a family, all on the foundation of our love. I never knew I could love anyone the way I love you. I never thought I deserved this kinda love.” The tears cascade down and my smile is about to split my face. He deserves our love more than he will ever accept.

  “Julietta, my heart, my kitten, my love, will you marry me?” he asks, looking so nervous. I can’t help myself as I start to bounce in place. My heart is his and wants to burst with all the love I feel for him and from him.

  “Yes, yes! God, Hunter, I love you and I can’t think of anything better than doing all that with you,” I say as he stands up and places the ring on my finger.

  “Blue, you do deserve me, and I deserve you. You are mine and I am yours, forever.” He kisses me, fiercely with lust and love. All I’ve ever dreamed about since I gave into our love was this, and I’m ecstatic the time is finally here.

  Through our lust filled blissful kiss, I hear whistling and hollering coming from behind us. He breaks the kiss and I look over
to see all our family. All the guys and girls are out to congratulate us.

  I have yet to get a good look at my ring, but it doesn’t matter what it looks like to me. All that matters is Hunter picked it out for me.

  We head back to the Clubhouse for dinner and that’s when I get a good look at my ring. It’s a 2-carat heart shape diamond with round diamonds down the sides of the band halfway. Beautiful, classy, perfect and I love it.

  He said he chose the heart diamond because I carry his heart; and the round ones are for our never-ending love. The thought he put into my ring was enough to send me to the moon and back. He may say he’s not romantic, but he is in so many ways.

  It’s Christmas day and we’re at Gio and Bella’s apartment. Aunt Cindy, all the guys, and Gigi are with us. Their living room is packed to the gills, with presents.

  Gigi got a puppy from Gio, a little tiny Chihuahua. The little thing is already as spoiled as her and Bella by Gio. Gigi named her, Khloe. I must admit, she’s cute and it will be fun to have a dog around.

  The day is full of fun and excitement. I left food in the Clubhouse for Maggie and the girls to set out. My little cooking crew cooked at Bella’s for our group. The apartment seemed to have a revolving door all day. All the brothers came in for a short visit and then left.

  We found out that day that Ryder was going to claim Ces officially with the Club after New Year’s. Ces was so happy he was glowing.

  Best Holiday I’ve had in a long time.

  New Year’s the Club is having a huge party here. It should be fun. The Holidays are never going to be the same for us, and I for one, am elated for this new beginning.

  I’m looking forward to a new year with new hopes and dreams here in Florida. Hunter and I will be planning a wedding, building a house, and hopefully starting a family.

  After New Year’s, our brothers are going back up north and taking Gigi with them, to gather all their things. Hunter asked me if I wanted to go and pack up my Condo. I told him I never want to go back there. So, while the guys are there, they are going to meet with the movers to pack my things up and deliver them here.

  This is my home and I never want to look back again. New York once held good memories for me, then they were all tainted. I’m good with things here, actually more than good and I’m so happy our brothers will be staying here with us.

  Chapter 17

  Ace

  The new year has started off beyond my expectations. After the best holidays ever, I can’t wait for this year. I had my first Thanksgiving in... forever, that I actually had something to be thankful for, my girl. Christmas Eve, Jules and I got engaged marking another first for both of us. One we will never forget and can tell our kids and grandkids about. We agreed to build a house next to Beast and Bella’s that night too. Christmas day was a memorable one. The first Christmas in my life I actually enjoyed with my family, my whole family, with my girl at my side, with my ring on her finger, and my ink on her back.

  A new year brings new life. We are planning a wedding this year and hopefully starting a family. Life can only get better from here. Things have to go uphill not down, right.

  Ryder finally claimed Ces with the Club after New Year’s. It wasn’t a unanimous vote, but enough brothers stuck by him. He got into a few fights and Blaze, Beast, Gator, and a few other brothers had his back. This died down after about a week. The shiny new toy lost its appeal and they moved on.

  Val, Lorenzo, Romeo, and Bash took Gigi up to New York after New Year’s to pack up their old home, which was a few weeks ago. Ryder and Ces accompanied them to pack up Ces’s stuff to move him here permanently. The guys are staying with us and started prospecting for us recently.

  It’s the beginning of February and things have been good. Valentine’s day is in less than two weeks and I still have no clue what I’m gonna do for my girl, other than taking her out to dinner. I need to figure the rest out soon. I may need my brothers help on this one.

  I’ve been in my office all mornin’ doin’ paperwork and figuring out the route for our run next week. Jules has been in the bar with Ces for hours working on some new designs. She said she wanted to start a maternity line.

  I leave my office needing my girls’ sweet lips and some lunchtime fun with her.

  I sneak up behind her and kiss her on the neck. She jumps then relaxes as I wrap my arms around her waist.

  “Hey, kitten. How’s that new line comin’?” I ask in her ear. She turns to the side and I claim her sweet lips.

  “Good, we have four dresses, some tops and shorts done,” she says and gives me a nervous look.

  “You want lunch, Blue?” she asks. Hell, yea, I do and her naked on my desk or the couch or both.

  “Yea, alone in my office,” I say, and she smiles, a mischievous smile. My girl is up to something and I’m gonna find out soon.

  “I just have to heat it up and I can meet you in your office. Um, can you do me a big favor while I do that, please,” she asks timidly, and I nod. “I forgot my phone in our room on the nightstand and I’m waiting for a business call.” I can do that for her, anything for my girl. I kiss her one last time.

  “Sure, I’ll meet you in two.” I leave her and sprint up the stairs two at a time to our room, so I can hurry back to her. I unlock the door and run straight to the nightstand. There is a piece of paper wrapped around a white plastic stick on top of her phone. My name is written on the top in Jules’s handwriting. I open the paper and see a pregnancy test. A positive pregnancy test, I’m gonna be a daddy. Holy shitballs, I’m gonna be a daddy. I’m overjoyed, is this finally happening.

  Then worry sets in, and I fall back on the bed on my ass. Is she gonna be able to carry this baby to term? Are our dreams really gonna come true? We have to be so careful this time, we can’t lose another baby. She can’t take the loss and truthfully neither can I. Watching her hurt just about did me in.

  I see more of her writing on the inside of the note under the stick. I grab the test in my left hand and the paper in the right to read.

  Daddy, mommy is 9 weeks along with me and I will be in your arms by the beginning of September. Mommy wants to keep it between you two for a little while. So, please don’t tell your brothers yet. My auntie and uncles can wait a few more weeks, enjoy this time with mommy. Then she’ll let you shout it to the world. Mommy loves daddy so much.

  Now, come kiss me, Blue, I need to be in your arms. I love you to the moon and back.

  I sit there frozen reading the note over and over again. I am gonna be a daddy and I need to get to my woman and love on her. I throw the note and the test in the drawer for safe keeping, grab Jules’s phone, and bounce out the room to find her.

  I leap down the stairs and bump into Blaze when I hit the bottom step. My brother has been so off for months, so many months, and I don’t know what’s goin’ on with him. I’ll have to find out soon, I’ve just been so busy with Jules and the Club. Right now, I have more important matters to attend to.

  “Where’s the fire, bro?” he asks, and I shake my head.

  “No fire just need to get to Jules,” I say dashing past him.

  “She good?” he asks concerned.

  “Yea, meeting her in my office for lunch.” I dart into my office and slam the door and lock it behind me. My girl is in front of my desk with her arms empty. I come up behind her, spin her around, taking her in my arms and claim her luscious lips.

  I make love to her on my couch, showing her how happy she made me. We have lunch and talk about things. While we sit and talk through lunch an idea pops into my head. I know what to get Jules for Valentine’s day. I’m not big on jewelry and either is she, but we saw a pendant a while back, when we were shopping at the mall. She made a comment about it. I think I’ll find that and give it to her. It was two hearts together, but they weren’t completely closed. She’ll love it.

  After we finish eating, she finds Ces and we go back to our work. I have to leave her in two days for a couple days on a run. My bro
thers and I have been covering for Beast, so I go on runs twice a month. It’s all good, my brother has always put the Club first, until now. Now it’s time he put his wife first, for a while. All the brothers are willing to help with no complaint.

  Valentine’s day comes and goes off without a hitch. Jules loved the pendant and the restaurant I took her for dinner. We spent a couple of nights away from the Clubhouse, too. Never celebrated this holiday before and I wasn’t sure I would be able to pull it off. I did, and Jules was happier than she’d been in a while. She even dragged me shopping for the house. It should be done by the beginning of April.

  Bella’s baby shower was an experience, one I thoroughly enjoyed and now I can’t wait for ours. I heard a ton of stories that day about my girl, from a baby till she was a teenager. I’ve heard stories before but none like these. Cindy went on and on about all of them. I laughed so vigorously my side hurt. Bella and Shorty were happier than I’ve ever seen them, talking about their parents. Having their brothers stay here and be around for them helps.

  The guys got the day off from being our do boys to spend with their sisters. That has been an experience having them prospecting. Romeo and I may have called a truce, but I still see the way he watches my girl. I tend to give him a lot more of the rougher jobs, but don’t draw too much attention to my direction.

  Bella had the babies a couple of weeks ago, she returned home a few days after with the boys. Funny thing is, she delivered them during bike week. The greatest honor to behold for an outlaw. Most of the guys hung back to stay close if they needed us. Especially Jules, Ces, Ryder, Bella’s brothers, and me. The rest of the Club that went to Daytona, met us at the hospital to meet the boys.

  Jules and I were up at the hospital every day to check on them and to the house, since they’ve been home.
