Now, I felt like I had it in me to help her, too, if she would allow it.
I let go of her and smiled, going back to give Blade a light hug. “Thank you so much for everything.”
“Will you come see me when I get out?” he asked suddenly. “There’s more I want to talk about with you…you know, before you go.”
“Yes,” I said with a nod. I knew I’d told him I didn’t want to see him again, but things were changing. I could feel it in the air. And, I was happier than I ever thought possible now. My mother was ready to change her life. My brother was being held accountable for his actions. And it was time to move on.
I would talk to Blade when he was out of the hospital, and I’d finally get the chance to say the things to him I wanted to say. Things I could say when I wasn’t angry.
And, I was sure he had things he wanted to tell me, too. Things I didn’t let him say to me when I was pissed off at him the other day, but things I wanted to hear. I wanted to be fair to him, and I wanted to give him the chance to say his piece.
After all, there wasn’t any denying the feelings that I had for him, and when he saved my life, I knew there wasn’t any forgetting about them and just moving on, either. We were going to have to talk, and I was going to need an open mind. This man just saved my life, and my mother’s life, in more ways than one.
I owed it to him to sit and listen to him. I owed him the chance to explain his side of things.
But, most of all, I just wanted the chance to talk.
Chapter 25
Blade
“Take care of yourself, buddy,” Jett gave me a brotherly hug before he headed for the door. “I need you around a while longer.”
“You’d have a tough time getting rid of me, even if you wanted to,” I joked. He smiled and gave me a pat on the shoulder before he headed out the door and disappeared into the night.
Jett was the last of the MC to leave my place, but I wasn’t entirely sad to see them go. I was awaiting another visitor, and she told me she would be over as soon as she saw the last of the guys leave my house.
The MC had thrown a small party for me when I got home from the hospital. With the level of smoke I’d inhaled, the hospital had felt it was best if I stayed overnight so they could monitor me in case something were to go south. But, nothing did, and I was released the next day.
I spoke with the cops and gave them my side of what happened at the house, and when I pointed out to them I had rushed in to save two women who were trapped in a room and at risk of being burned to death, they left it well enough alone.
They didn’t want to open a new case against the Steel Wings when they had plenty of other things going on with the Devil’s Sons and several other MCs in the area, so there wasn’t any need to pursue it further.
That, along with the fact Chad opened up to them and told them about his involvement, was enough to get me off the hook. So, when I got home, all I had to do was think about packing and getting ready to move into my new house – which was nearly done after a few last delays.
I texted Jett and let him know when I would be home, and I had to admit, I wasn’t at all surprised to find him with a bunch of the guys at my place when I got there. There was beer and pizza to be had and plenty of banter and stories to be told.
It was a great time, and it went long into the night. Alexis, of course, was free to stop by any time she wanted, but though I texted her a couple times through the night and asked her if she wanted to come over, she told me she would be there when I was alone.
So, as soon as Jett left, I shot her a text and let her know I was finally alone, and it was only minutes before she appeared on my doorstep.
“I thought they would never leave,” I told her.
“It’s okay. I just didn’t want to get lost in the shuffle,” she said with a smile as she walked into the house. She was wearing a skimpy dress that looked more like a slip than an actual outfit, but I wasn’t complaining.
“You never could,” I said as I kissed her tenderly. “I wanted to tell you again how sorry I am.”
“No,” she said. “I’m sorry. I should have given you the chance to explain yourself, but I was upset.”
“As you should have been,” I told her. “I know that was a tough subject for you, then to have you find out about it the way you did, well, that was shitty.”
“It’s over and done with now,” she said with a shrug. “I’m just glad you’re okay.”
“I’m glad you are, too,” I told her. “I never want to lose you, not ever.”
“Do you mean it?” she asked.
“I mean it, and I hope you know what I’m asking,” I told her.
“Are you asking me to stay?” she replied with raised eyebrows.
“I am,” I said. “I love you, Alexis. I never thought I would ever feel this way about anyone, but since the day you and I met, I knew you were the woman for me. I never wanted to lose you. I hated it when you said you were leaving at the end of the three months. I knew it was a bad idea to fall in love, but I couldn’t help it. Everything about you is perfect, and I want you to stay here with me.”
She didn’t say anything for a moment, so I kissed her once more. “Do it for me, Alexis. I love you – more than anything, I love you.”
She looked up into my eyes and a smile spread slowly across her face.
“You know? I was going to talk to you about something,” she said.
“What?”
“When my mother told me she was getting clean, I realized something important,” she continued.
“What was it?” I pressed.
“I realized I don’t hate Fallen Hills. I hated the addiction. It’s not here I wanted to leave. It was what that was doing to her. Now that she’s going to rehab, I don’t want to leave. Because guess what, Blade?” Alexis looked at me with expectation.
“What?” I asked.
“I love you, too,” she said.
I wrapped her up in my arms, pulling her close. I never thought she would agree to staying so easily, but I knew I wasn’t about to give up. I wanted her more than anything, and I was willing to do anything to convince her to stay here with me.
But, now that she knew how I felt, and now I knew how she felt, it wasn’t going to be a problem. She would stay here with me – she would be mine. She was the love of my life. I knew without a doubt we had a bright future together.
I pressed my lips to hers, and she kissed me back, the passion building between us as we ran our hands over each other. I put my hands to her tits, ran them down her waist, put them on her hips, and pulled her into me.
Alexis was already pulling my shirt off, eager to have me as naked as she nearly was.
The clothes fell to the floor quickly, as though they were nothing more than paper on a present. Then, I lifted Alexis in my arms, carrying her over to the wall, holding her there with my strong arms as I eased her down on my hard cock.
She guided me into her, her pussy already wet and dripping with anticipation. Her nipples were gathered and stiff, only proving to me all the more how much she wanted me. She slid onto my cock, sliding all the way down until I was inside her fully.
She put her hands on my shoulders, using the wall for support as I grasped her ass with my hands, helping her slide up and down on my cock, moving with me as we made love right there in the living room.
She moaned, closing her eyes and leaning her head back against the wall, letting me fill her, then pull myself out before filling her again. Her tight pussy massaged me, the juices flowing as I thrust in and out of her, getting closer to climax.
I wanted to give her all I had in me. I wanted to make her mine. This was the first time there was so much more to having each other than just lust. This wasn’t taking each other in the heat of the moment. This wasn’t fulfilling just a need that we both had.
This was making love.
This woman was the love of my life, and I knew I never wanted to be with anyone else. I thrust into h
er hard and fast. I wanted more of her. I knew I wouldn’t ever get enough of her. She moaned, riding me with her eyes closed, biting her lower lip as she got closer to climax herself.
Her moans and gasps filled the air as she rocked back and forth on me. She slid up and down, faster and harder as the waves of pleasure broke free within her. Then, Alexis let out a loud cry, calling my name as she pressed her lips to my neck.
I leaned into the wall, holding her up with my hands and using the wall as support as I thrust into her harder and faster now, making the friction between us even stronger. Sliding in and out of her easily with the flow of our bodies, I was riding each wave of pleasure as it ran through me.
Then, my cock buckled and jumped, emptying my load inside her. I let out a moan, holding her to me as I pushed into her as far as I could go. I wanted her to have all of me. I wanted to give her my load. I wanted her to feel me running down her legs when I set her down.
I didn’t want this to be the last time. I knew I’d found my partner in life, and I knew no one else would ever make me feel the way this woman made me feel. This was the love of my life, and I wasn’t afraid to say it. I wanted the whole world to know. I wanted everyone to realize this was the person I would be with for the rest of my days.
She wasn’t going anywhere, and neither was I. We were meant to be together. We were perfect together.
I loved her more than anything, and to know she felt the same about me was something I’d never experienced before – and I certainly never wanted to let it go. I would do anything to make this woman happy, and I knew she would do anything for me, too.
We were made for each other. We completed each other. We were what the other needed in life – but even more than that, we were what the other wanted.
I knew I would work hard for the rest of my life to make sure this woman was happy. What she wanted, she would have, no matter what it was. She would be the queen in my life, and I would be her king.
I was ready to take on the world. I was ready to face anything that came our way. With Alexis by my side, I knew we’d get through anything. We were strong, and we were happy. Like the MC, this woman was my family. No one could take that from me. No one could take that from either of us.
I was deeply, deeply in love.
Epilogue
Alexis
I couldn’t believe how much my life could change in just a matter of a few months. But, it had done a complete turnaround in just four months than I ever thought possible.
I made it through the rest of my contract with the company, and they signed the certificate that gave me the freedom to go wherever I wanted and do whatever I wanted. The one thing I had been working for longer than anything else in my life had finally happened.
But, I never thought when I was given the freedom to go anywhere in the world, I would decide to stay in Fallen Hills. I was sure that was the last place I’d ever want to be. But something changed in me over the course of a few months, and now, I never wanted to be anywhere else.
I was more in love with Blade than I thought humanly possible. We moved into his new house together, and though he had it built for himself, I felt like it had been made for me. The place felt like a castle, and it had everything I ever could have wanted in it.
From the day we moved in, I felt like it was home. It was absolutely perfect in every way, and I was proud I was part of it.
My mother really did keep her promise to me and went to treatment. We worked together to find somewhere she would be comfortable, and she signed up. I was there for her when she checked in, and we spoke to each other on the phone when we could.
I never thought I could be so happy hearing how well someone was doing, but I knew my mother was the reason I had gone into the medical field in the first place, and to know she was getting the help she needed made me happier than I ever thought possible.
I knew she could do it. She was stronger than she thought, and with time, she would beat the addiction once and for all. She and I could start having the relationship I always wanted to have with her. I was willing to move on from the past and forgive her for the things she had put me through, and now, it seemed like that could finally happen.
It would take time, but I had nothing but time now. I wasn’t going anywhere, and neither was she. We would fight through this together, and I knew with my support, she would make it. Eventually, she would be able to get her own place again, and life could move forward.
I knew that was months into the future, but now, that didn’t seem like long, at all. Now, I knew how much could change in a matter of months, and I was excited for the future. I wanted to see what the next chapter in our lives brought, it was finally something to look forward to.
My brother ended up going to prison for what he had done. I felt sorry for him for the choices he made in life that got him there, but I wasn’t sorry that he had to go. What he had done nearly got us killed, and it was time for him to pay the consequences of that.
Since he didn’t get either of the MCs in trouble, he wasn’t going to go behind bars with a target on his back, and I was happy for him for that. I knew prison had to be tough, and to know he wasn’t going to have to fear for his life while he was in there made it a little better for me.
I didn’t know if the day would come when could have a relationship with him, but if he were to work on getting his life together like my mother had, I was sure I could someday make something of what we had together.
But, only time would tell. He was the one who had to make the change. I could push, I could support, I could try on my end, but at the end of the day, he was the one who had to do it. He was the only one who had control over what he did in life, and he was the one who could decide to change his path.
If our mother could do it, he could do it. He just had to decide to do it.
As for me and Blade, we couldn’t have done better. After what happened with the rival MC, Jett decided to cool the sales of drugs for a while, and I hoped they would give it up completely eventually. But for now, Blade was happy. He was doing well as the vice president, and his hands healed from the burns.
But, even more importantly than that, things were better than ever between us. Not only were we madly in love, and not only did he ask me to move in with him, but he asked me one more question, and it was the one that meant the most.
It was right after we unloaded the last of the boxes, and the house finally felt like our home. He looked around the place with a sigh, and I couldn’t help but take the bait.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“There’s something missing,” he said.
“What?” I looked around the room. “Where?”
“I think we forgot to unload a box,” he said.
“What do you mean?” I giggled. “I don’t see any more boxes.”
“Oh, here it is,” he said. He pulled a small box out of pocket as he sank to one knee. “I think this is the last one. Alexis, I could give you the speech right now of how you changed my life, but I think you already know. So, instead of telling you again how wonderful you are, I’m just going to ask you to spare me the suspense. I love you. Will you marry me?”
He opened the box, revealing a ring, and I gasped. Nodding, I let him slide the ring on my finger. Then, we kissed.
“Yes,” I finally managed. “For the rest of my life, yes.”
“I love you.”
