Maggie laughed softly, loving when Ash pushed his face into her neck. He let her hair fall away and moved his right hand down her front. His left hand moved to join his right at her waist circling to her back and down to cup her bottom squeezing lightly as Maggie gasped and lifted onto her tiptoes her arms still resting against the doorframe.
“Can I touch you Maggie? Can I come in?”
In response Maggie let her arms fall from the doorframe to wrap around Ash’s shoulders. He bent slightly to grasp her thick thighs and lifted her up until her legs were wrapped around his waist. Ash moved into the house and kicked the door shut behind him. His finger gripped the tops of her thighs and the hem of the tight little shorts she was wearing. He kneaded her meaty thighs as he moved through the house toward the staircase that led to the bedrooms.
Maggie clung tightly to Ash as he made his way up the stairs. She marveled at his strength. His breathe barely increasing in speed as he carried her. Ash paused at the bedroom door. He kept one hand on her ass as he used the other to push the door open then carried her toward the bed. Maggie lifted her head to look at him before he lowered her slowly to the mattress.
“Ash.” His name was a whisper on Maggie’s lips before he covered her mouth with his own swallowing her moan and sliding his tongue across her bottom lip. Maggie opened up allowing him to deepen their kiss.
Ash’s hands continued to knead and rub up and down Maggie’s thighs as she pulled his lower lip into her mouth to nibble on it. He pushed himself up to a kneeling position on the edge of the bed, her legs still wrapped around his hips. She watched him as he shrugged out of his jacket then pulled his black t-shirt over his head. Maggie loved looking at Ash’s body. His muscles were rock hard and real. They weren’t for show. They were for lifting motorcycle engines, for fighting, for carrying Maggie, and for fucking her brains out.
Maggie smiled up at him as Ash reached back to pull her legs from around his waist so he could stand up. A laugh of pure happiness slipped from her and brought the sweetest smile to his lips. She could imagine looking at him with that smile for the rest of her life. He watched her lying on the bed looking luscious and ready as he unbuckled his belt and undid his fly to push them down his hips and kick them off. His boots went with his jeans.
Maggie’s breath caught when Ash stood back up and she saw him hard and ready and so big. Ash bent over her again to take her hands and pull her up to a sitting position. He grabbed the hem of her shirt and slowly lifted it over her head. He tossed it aside not caring where it landed as he looked at Maggie’s full naked breasts hanging heavy with rock hard nipples ready for him. Maggie kept her eyes locked on Ash’s as she lay back on the bed. She reached up to massage her breasts and smiled when Ash groaned. He couldn’t take his eyes of her hands as she ran them down her sides and belly to the waist of her yoga pants.
Ash watched as Maggie hooked her thumbs in the waist and pushed her feet into the bed to lift her hips and tug them down. Without even realizing what he was doing he reached out to grasp the waist of her pants and pull them down all the way revealing the short dark curly hairs covering her mound.
“Oh God, Maggie.” Ash’s words were more of a sigh then a sentence. He knelt again at the edge of the bed and ran his hands up her legs from her knees to her hips then across to her center to twirl his fingertips in her soft curly hairs.
Maggie let her knees fall open reaching up again to massage her own breasts as she watched Ash’s face transfixed as he played with the curls between her legs. She gasped and arched her back slightly as Ash’s fingers slid from her curls to her lips that were already moist and throbbing. She pinched and pulled on her nipples as his fingers slid up and down the exterior of her labia before dipping between them.
He just wanted to know what she felt like. He wanted to feel how hot she was. How wet and ready. His fingers moved up to circle her clit then down to her opening. First just his middle finger pushed inside her curling up to massage her center. She was so tight it made Ash’s balls pull up at the thought of sliding his cock inside her. He pulled his middle finger out just a bit then slid it back in along with another. Maggie moaned and writhed on the bed as he slowly fucked her with his fingers occasionally pulling them out to move back to up to circle her clit again.
Ash bent over her, his hands on either side of her head. “Are you ready for me Maggie?” She nodded quickly, trying to catch her breath enough to answer but not being able to. Ash laughed at that. “Good Maggie. I’m glad, because I’m ready for you, and I’m not sure I could hold back any longer.”
With that Ash laid his body fully against Maggie, pushing his hips up between her legs she wrapped herself around him and crossed her ankles at his lower back then turned her head to the side and closed her eyes waiting.
“Maggie. Look at me.” Ash’s words barely registered but the tone of his voice, the sexy soft sweet sound that slithered across her skin drew her attention and she opened her eyes to stare into his. Ash pushed his hips forward, his eyes locked on Maggie’s as the head of his cock stretched her entrance. Maggie groaned and tried to close her eyes again but Ash wouldn’t let her. He called her name again and again, his tone begging.
“Maggie. Look at me Maggie. Look at me. I want you to see me Maggie.”
Once again she opened her eyes and watched the emotions rush across Ash’s face as he slid his cock fully inside her. Before Ash she had never felt this stretched before. So completely full. She couldn’t imagine ever not feeling this again. She felt complete.
Ash pulled back until just the head of his cock was at her entrance then pushed again the full length inside her. She felt so amazingly good. So tight he could scream. Ash let his head fall forward and brushed his lips against her throat, licking and kissing softly at the marks and bruises left by Reef’s hands. “Maggie. I don’t know if I can hold back.”
“Please Ash… Don’t… Don’t hold back.” Maggie whispered back as she arched her back and tightened her legs around his waist. Wanting all of him as deep inside her as possible.
Ash groaned and reached his arms above her head to grip the edge of the mattress. He settled his knees on the bed and pushed and pulled at the same time trying to force as much inside her as he could. He paused when Maggie cried out, knowing the sound she made was pure sex but so scared to hurt her. “Don’t stop Ash please. You feel so amazing.”
Ash moved his lips back to Maggie’s throat as he pushed again. This time he didn’t stop. He lay atop Maggie, pushing with his legs and pulling with his arms he moved in and out of her picking up speed. He kissed her as he fucked himself in and out of her hard and fast until Maggie was calling his name and begging him not to stop. He could cum just from the sound of his name on her lips, but it wasn’t until he felt her throbbing muscles clenching around his cock and her body shuddering beneath him with her own orgasm that he was able to let go with a roar and a final hard thrust against her.
Ash collapsed on top of Maggie and she lay there panting her legs jelly as they slipped from his hips. She had never felt so amazing in her life. Reef had never made her feel this way before. Sure, in the beginning sex with Reef had been good, and she’d had orgasms, but nothing compared to this. Nothing compared to feeling so full and stretched to the limits. Nothing compared to Ash grinding against her, his smell surrounding her, his lips so soft on her mouth and neck. She couldn’t imagine this with any other man.
God help her, Ash had ruined her. If this thing between them didn’t work out, Maggie didn’t know what she would do. Finally Ash rolled off of Maggie, pulling her so she was tucked into his side.
“Maggie.” Ash spoke her name with the reverence one would reserve for a holy figure.
“Ash.” Maggie’s reply was as full of wonder as his own.
Ash rolled to his side until they were facing each other. He looked into her eyes with the weight of everything they’d been through bald and clear for her to see.
“I love you Ash.” Maggie couldn�
��t keep it inside. She didn’t know if this was the worst idea any human on the planet had ever had in their entire lives, but Maggie couldn’t keep from saying it. The words were like lava in her belly and if she didn’t release them she would explode.
Ash leaned forward, pressing his lips hard against hers. He pushed his tongue inside her mouth and kissed her with everything he had inside him. And when they were both panting, hearts racing, he finally pulled back.
“I love you too Maggie.” Ash replied.
“You never have to be afraid again. I want you to know. You’re my woman now. I’ll take care of you. The club will take care of you. When you’re feeling better I want to take you to The Hole and introduce you to everyone. I want the world to know you’re mine Maggie. My woman. And I’m your man. I belong to you, body and soul, and nothing will ever tear us apart. And nothing will ever hurt you again.”
Maggie didn’t realize she was crying until Ash reached out and gently wiped the tears from her cheek. “I love you Ash. I can’t tell you how good it feels to be with you. How safe I feel. For the first time in I can’t remember how long I feel safe. I… I think someday I want to know what happened to… what happened with everything last night, but not right now. Jack said it was better if I didn’t know, and I think he’s probably right. I trust him when he says that everything was taken care of. I trust you too, but I want to reserve the right to ask for the details at a later date, when I’m ready.”
Ash nodded his head slowly, taking in her words. “You can trust me Maggie, and I’ll agree to that. He’s right that for right now you probably shouldn’t know, but in the future, when things calm down, I agree to tell you anything you want to know.”
Maggie snuggled closer to Ash, pushing her face into his skin to smell him as Ash did the same to her hair.
Chapter 24
ASH
… Three months later
Ash pulled his motorcycle into the clearing at the end of the dirt road and cut the engine. He heard Maggie’s gasp when she saw the overlook for the first time. The clearing was at the edge of the mountain they’d been making their way up for the past forty minutes. It had a really awesome view overlooking the valley below where their town lived.
“My mom used to bring me here when I was a kid. If my step-dad would start drinking early, and we didn’t have money to go anywhere else, she would bring me here. One time we even spent the night in the car.”
Maggie turned to Ash and smiled. She lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck. “It’s beautiful Ash, thank you for bringing me here.”
Ash bent down to brush his lips across Maggie’s then grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the flat rock at the edge of the overlook. He pulled himself up and settled before reaching a hand out to help Maggie. When she was beside him he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into his side. Maggie rested her head on Ash’s shoulder and sighed.
“Maggie… I uh… I brought you here for a reason.”
Maggie lifted her head from Ash’s shoulder and looked at him, her eyebrows drawn together in a questioning frown.
“What’s up sweetie?”
Ash looked down at his boots before turning to Maggie. He could feel his gut rolling. Never in his life did he think he’d find himself in this position. In love with a girl like Maggie and asking her to marry him. What if she said no? Ash shook his head to clear that thought. Maggie loved him. If there was anything in this world that Ash could count as a guarantee it was that Maggie loved him.
“Maggie… You know I love you baby… right?”
The smile that broke across her face was stunning. This woman was beyond perfect.
“Of course Ash. I love you too.”
Ash nodded his head, secure in the words that confirmed what he was just thinking. He put his hand in the pocket of his leather cut to grasp the small box. He didn’t pull it out yet, he just sat there looking at Maggie and taking deep breaths.
“I know this is gonna sound kinda crazy, but I don’t think I could live without you Maggie.”
He watched as a mixture of confusion and love filled her eyes.
“Ash what’s this about? You don’t have to live without me. We’re together forever babe. You and me against the world right? Well… You, me, and the club against the world.”
Ash looked down at his boots and nodded.
“That’s what I was hoping you’d say.” He pulled the box out then and held it between them. He laughed a little when he heard Maggie’s gasp. Ash moved until he was kneeling in front of her on the rock.
“I want shit to be official. I mean I know my club knows you’re my girl. I know your friends know I’m your man. I just… I want everyone to know. I want anyone that looks at you to know you’re taken. So I thought you know… let’s make it official.”
Ash held the box out and opened it. Maggie made a small choking sound when she saw the ring. Ash looked at her face and saw she was trying desperately to hold back tears, but they were still spilling from her eyes and running down her cheeks.
“Will you marry me Maggie?”
That’s when Maggie really lost it. Ash watched her face crumple when she looked at him, tears streaming down her face, she nodded yes then between deep breaths spoke.
“Yes Ash. God yes!” Maggie dissolved into a blubbering mess and Ash wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight until she got herself back together. He pulled a bandana from his back pocket and handed it to her so she could wipe her face and blow her nose. Then he pulled the ring from the box.
Ash knew Maggie loved antique jewelry so he spent two months looking for the perfect piece and finally found the white gold ring with a filigree design and a deep blue sapphire. Ash slipped the ring on Maggie’s finger as she wiped away more tears.
When it was done he cupped his left hand behind Maggie’s neck to pull her face to his. Then he leaned forward and kissed her. He put every ounce of love into that kiss. Maggie wrapped her arms around Ash’s back and squeezed tight. This was the moment Ash would remember until his deathbed. The moment Maggie agreed to spend her life with him.
EPILOGUE
PRENTICE
… 6 Months Later
Prentice stretched out his legs and kicked his feet up on the chair across from him. He didn’t always go out for weddings, but this was his Steel Breed brother and best friend… so what could he do? He watched as Ash and Maggie danced their first dance as a married couple. Maggie had been married before to a real piece of shit abusive fuck-head so instead of the traditional white gown she wore a baby blue dress with little yellow and purple flowers all over it. It had those thin straps instead of sleeves, and it fell to just above her knees with one of those poofy skirts underneath in yellow. Maggie definitely looked hot.
One of Maggie’s best traits, in Prentice’s opinion, she wasn’t one of those stupid bitches who tried to change a man as soon as she got her claws in him. Ash was dressed in black jeans, with a white t-shirt, and his leather cut. They’d ridden his Harley to the reception with Maggie on the back, skirts tucked around her waist. Prentice thought they made a good match.
The other benefit of being at this wedding was Jessi Day. Jessi was Maggie’s best friend, maid of honor, and the entertainment for the party. Jessi was one of the hottest women Prentice had ever seen in his life, and had the best voice he’d ever heard. Not only did she have luscious red hair, covered in freckles, with sweet grapefruit tits, but the woman had to be six feet tall. Prentice had never been with a woman that tall. It was lust at first sight.
Prentice normally avoided The Hole, the Steel Breed Motorcycle Club’s hangout, on Monday nights like the plague. He hated mingling with the outsiders that usually came in on Monday’s for open mic night. Fortunately for Prentice about nine months ago he happened to make a special trip to The Hole for Ash and got his first look at Jessi Day. He’d been hooked ever since, and made it his business to be at open mic night when he knew Jessi would
be there.
Prentice shifted his eyes to the stage as the song ended and everyone clapped. Jessi stepped back from the mic and turned to talk to the lead guitarist standing next to her. She moved off the stage as the guitarist stepped up and they started a new song. It looked like Jessi was taking a little break.
Prentice’s eyes tracked Jessi as she moved across the dance floor and headed for the bar. She was wearing a skin tight, sleeveless, green dress that hugged her ass and ended about mid-thigh. Prentice let his eyes peruse her legs and imagined them wrapped around his shoulders. When his eyes hit her feet he saw the pumps she was wearing.
“Oh shit.” Prentice thought to himself. Those pumps had to put her at the same height as him. Prentice adjusted his growing hard-on as he swung his legs off the chairs and stood up. He didn’t give a fuck if anyone noticed the massive bulge in his pants. Prentice needed to talk to Jessi. Now…
