The reception was clean, tidy and minimalistic. Sat behind the desk was an older woman, with short dark hair.
“Do you have any rooms available, please?” I asked.
“For how many nights?”
“Just one.” She kept looking over at Heather who was still sobbing.
“Yes.” I handed over my credit card, I didn’t care how much it would cost, I just needed a place where we could lay low and rest. As she processed the transaction she looked at Heather again.
“Miss, are you ok?” She handed over a box of tissues and Heather took a couple, dabbing at her eyes.
“Yes,” she sniffed. The woman looked from me and back to Heather.
“If you don’t want to go with this man, I can call the police,” she informed her, now standing up. She placed my credit card back in front of me.
“Oh, no. He’s my husband, we’ve just had some bad news, that’s all. Thank you for your concern though.” She nodded her head. “He may look rough around the edges but he is a teddy bear really.” She smiled.
“As long as you’re sure.”
“Yes. Thank you, it’s good that you checked.”
“Ok. Your room is on the third floor. Take the door at the end of the corridor, up the steps and it’s the fourth door on your left.” She handed me the room key and we walked away from her.
As soon as we walked in the room, Heather turned to me.
“Give me your phone. I need to call Cammie.”
“We need to use the hotel phone. I need to keep this one turned off in case it can be traced.” She rushed to the hotel phone and called Cammie. “Let me talk to Drake when you’re done.” She nodded.
“Oh god, Cammie.” Was all Heather said before she started sobbing again, she couldn’t talk so I grabbed the phone.
“Hey, Cammie. How’s the kids?”
“They’re all good. Just put them to bed. What time you coming back?”
“There has been a bit of a problem, I need to talk to Drake.”
“Yeah ok. DRAKE!” I pulled the phone away from my ear as she screamed down it. “It’s Blade.” I heard her tell him.
“Hey, man. What’s up?”
I explained everything that Heather had heard and told him we needed to stay away for a bit, I didn’t tell him where we were. I couldn’t run the risk of anyone finding us.
“I need you to take the girls and the kids back to your club. Get the Prez to call a lockdown, no one comes into that club. I’m trusting you with our children.”
“Absolutely. We’ll leave straight away.”
“I’ll call when I can. Thanks.” I hung up the phone. Heather was laying on the bed curled up in a ball, crying. “Come on, sugar.” I carried her over to the en-suite and sat her on the toilet seat while I switched the shower on and found the correct temperature. “You’ll feel better after a shower.” I pushed her leather cut off her shoulders and she looked up at me.
“Better? You think a shower is going to make me feel better? After we have just left our children? What if something happens to them?”
“It won’t. Drake is taking everyone back to the Cornish Crusaders MC. They’ll be safe there. I promise.” I pulled her t-shirt over her head and unclipped her bra. Her breasts bounced free and I felt the swell of my cock. I held hold of her hand as I got her to stand up. I dropped to my knees, pulled off her ballet flat shoes and popped open the button on her jeans and dragged them down her legs, along with her pale pink underwear. Once she was standing in front of me, naked, I made quick work of my clothes, leaving them in a pile on the floor.
I pulled her into my chest as we stood underneath the small shower head, trying to keep water on both of us. She cried as I ran my hand up and down her back.
“Please, can we go back?”
“No.”
“Please, Kade, don’t keep me away from our babies.”
“I said no.” I didn’t want to be firm with her, but if that was the only way she would listen than that was how I was going to have to be. I washed her body and hair all while she stood there motionless, she had given up doing anything, she was like a ghost of a person. After I scrubbed my body, I wrapped a towel around Heather and began drying her body while I dripped on the bath mat.
“You drying your hair?” I tightened the towel around her and secured it. She nodded as she walked out of the bathroom. I wrapped a towel around my waist and picked up our clothes off the floor. I grabbed our underwear, ran some water into the sink and cleaned them the best I could with the hand soap. Once they were cleaned, I ringed them out and placed them on the heated towel rail to dry. They should be dry by morning. After I dried myself completely, I walked out just as Heather had finished drying her hair. It was flowing around her shoulders in waves.
“Come on.” I pulled her towards the bed and we both climbed in, minus the towels.
“Oh, Kade. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have stayed and listened. This is all my fault.” She climbed on top of me and buried her face in my neck, wrapping her arms around me. I soothed her with rubbing circles on her back. “You can leave me here and go back if you want.”
“Hey.” I pulled her away from my neck and grabbed her left hand. “You see this?” she nodded. “This means we’re together, forever, always.”
“Ok.” I pulled her back down and she laid her head on my chest, she drew lazy circles on my chest and I felt her nipple bars against my chest every time she breathed. I couldn’t stop my cock hardening, I had a naked Heather on top of me, any man would be hard. “I feel numb, I need to feel something more,” she whispered as she manoeuvred herself so she was straddling my hips. She was hot, wet and needy and although the timing felt wrong to be doing this, I knew it was what she needed. She rose above me and I slipped inside of her. We groaned at the same time. She sat still adjusting to me and I ran my hands up her thighs, over her tummy and plucked and pulled at her nipple bars. I felt her tighten around me so I did it again. My hands slipped down her sides and to her ass, I tapped her gently telling her I needed her to move. She bent forward resting her hands by the side of my head, her hair causing a curtain around us. I moved my hips off the bed, thrusting into her and she cried out, closing her eyes. I placed my hand on the side of her neck, my thumb stroking the side of her cheek and I lowered her head to mine so I could kiss her. We moved together slowly and passionately, our kisses only pausing when we ran out of breath or to moan in pleasure.
“Kade,” she whispered as I felt her convulsing around me. I slammed into her a couple more times and then my release shot into her. She slumped against me, exhausted no doubt from all the crying. I didn’t want to move her, I wanted us close. I moved her hair out of my face and slowly closed my eyes hoping sleep would make things clearer in the morning.
Blade
I DIDN’T WANT to stay in one place for too long, there was always more chance of us being found if we didn’t keep moving on. As Heather dressed, I picked up the hotel phone and made a call.
“Hello.”
“Brett, its Blade.”
“It’s good to hear from you, thanks for the tip. We got them, just Prez and VP, all the rest of the boys come up clean.”
“You arresting them?”
“Just as soon as we’ve been through all evidence from the crime scene.”
“Crime scene?”
“Yeah, the one you called us about, we busted in. Saw all the women and Prez’s wife tied to a chair. Arrested a couple men, made a deal with a couple of them.” Who called them? I certainly didn’t. Who else knew about it? Dad?
“They ratted?”
“Sure did.”
“Who were they? Satan MC?”
“I can’t offer out that information.”
“How long until they’re arrested?”
“Hopefully, no longer than a couple of days.”
“That’s great news.” I hung up just as Heather walked back in the room.
“What’s great news? Can we go home?” She looked
hopeful.
“Not yet, sugar. The police will have Prez and VP arrested in a couple of days hopefully.”
“The police?” She looked confused as she ran her hands through her hair attempting to tame it as we had no hair brush.
“Yeah.” I stood off the bed, grabbed my phone that was still turned off and my wallet. “Let’s get out of here.” We walked out of the room and down the stairs hand in hand, I dropped the key card off at the desk and we climbed back on the bike.
“Can we go at least a bit closer to home? Just so we are closer in case our children need us, please?”
“Ok, sugar.” We set off back down the dual carriageway. They would never expect us to still be in Cornwall, they would expect us to be long gone, so it would be the perfect place to hide.
After a few hours, we pulled up to a large supermarket for food and a change of clothes. We brought a back pack to put it all in so Heather could carry it on her back.
“Where are we?” Heather asked as I pulled in to a Premier Inn.
“Truro.” We climbed off the bike and it was like de-ja-vu all over again, getting a room to hide out in. Once we were in the room, I unpacked our bag, handing Heather some food and water.
“Thanks.”
“I also got you this.” I handed her a large pocket knife.
“Why?”
“Just in case you need to protect yourself, please keep it on you. It just flips open like this.” I showed her and made her show me she knew how to use it several times before I was happy. We settled on the bed and watched some TV.
“Can I call Cammie?”
“Sure, sugar. Get her to kiss the kids for me.”
I ate a sandwich as I watched some game show shit on the TV while Heather talked to Cammie. She sounded happier knowing that the kids were ok and that we weren’t too far away from them.
“Babe, Prez wants to talk to you.” I grabbed the phone from her as I finished the last bite of my sandwich.
“Hello.”
“Blade, just wanted you to know, we are on lockdown. We haven’t heard anything from the Devon Destroyers and the kids are safe and happy.”
“Thanks, Prez. I really appreciate your help. This should all be over soon.”
“Yeah?” he asked. I explained what Brett had told me and he said he would get some contacts to keep their ears to the ground too.
WE HAD BEEN COOPED up in that room for nearly twelve hours and I was getting restless. It was ten o’clock at night and dark.
“You wanna go for a ride?” I asked Heather. She sat up from her laying position on the bed and nodded. “Great, grab your cut.”
As we climbed on the bike she whispered;
“Are we safe?” I nodded.
“If for any reason we do get attacked, I want you to jump on my bike and get the hell away.”
“I don’t know how to ride.” Shit, when this was all over it would be the first thing I’d teach her.
“I’ll teach you. Helmet on.” Once we were ready, I took off down the road, it was nice to be on my bike with Heather pressed against me. There was no feeling like it.
After we had been riding for thirty minutes, I kept checking my mirrors, I was sure we were being followed.
“What’s wrong?” Heather asked.
“Nothing.”
“Kade, don’t keep things from me. Not now.”
“I think we’re being followed. Hold on.” I didn’t really know the roads around here, I tried to escape down a few side roads but the lights kept following us, in fact, they were gaining on us. I abruptly turned a corner and zoomed down a side alley. “Shit!” I roared.
“What?”
“Dead end.” I turned the bike around and there were two bikes headed for us blocking off the entrance. “Shit, get off the bike.” I looked around frantically. “Keep your helmet on for protection, hide in that corner by the bins and if anyone but me comes at you. Use that knife, sugar.”
“I love you.”
“Don’t do that. We’re going to be fine. We’ll be going home to our babies. Ok?” She nodded and I pushed her towards the corner as I saw two figures heading towards us. I pulled my helmet off, I needed to talk to these guys.
As they got closer I saw that it was VP and Bump. I might have known Bump would be here, he always had a soft spot for Heather. I thought at first that it was her pregnancy, but even after Liam was born he was still after her.
“Give her up, Blade.” VP shouted. I crossed my arms over my chest. “You know the club comes first, brother.” Was he fucking kidding me?
We were stood in a stand-off position, who was going to draw a weapon first? I kept an eye on Bump, he was looking in the direction that Heather went and I knew I would have to fight off VP in order to save her.
“Hand her over, Blade.” VP said again.
“No, she knows to keep quiet. She won’t say anything.”
“No way, she knows our plans. You’re a fucking rat, who knows who you have told.”
“He’s the rat?” Bump asked. VP nodded and while they were distracted, I pulled out my gun and shot at VP. The bullet pierced his skin on his shoulder and he yelled out in pain. I aimed my gun at Bump and he fired shots at me, I dived to the floor and threw my knife. It got him high on his thigh. He looked at me, smirked and yelled;
“I’ll have fun using this on your Old Lady.” I saw movement out the corner of my eyes and Heather ran at Bump, he was startled and grabbed hold of her, they both fell to the ground, him landing on top of her, he let out a startled gasp, his eyes widening.
“Kade!” Heather yelled and the VP jumped up, gun in his hand. I didn’t hesitate, I shot his hand and fired several more shots at his chest. He fell to the ground and I ran over to Heather. I pulled Bump off her and her knife was sticking out of his stomach.
“Oh god, what have I done?” She sobbed as she looked at him laying still, blood pooling around him.
“It was self-defence, it was either him or you. Got it?” She nodded. “Let’s get out of here.” I grabbed the knife out of Bump and wiped the blood off on his jeans. “We don’t want to leave this evidence behind.”
“What are we going to do about them?”
“I’ll call the Crusaders and see if they can get a clean-up crew here.” I dragged her back to the bike and once we were seated, I spun off out of the alley and headed back to the premier inn to sleep and then first thing in the morning we were heading for the Cornish Crusaders MC.
Heather
ONCE WE REACHED the Cornish Crusaders clubhouse, I didn’t waste any time, as soon as the bike had come to a stop, I yanked my helmet off and ran at full speed in the door. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Kelsey sitting at a table colouring with Prez and Carla’s kids. Her head snapped up when she heard a noise.
“Mummy!” she called out and came running towards me. I crouched down and caught her in my arms. I held her close to me and breathed in her scent.
“Hi, baby. Are you ok?”
“Yes, where have you been?” She pulled back to look at me.
“Just on a trip with daddy.” She wriggled for me to put her down and I rushed in the room eager to see Liam and Tegan. Liam was sitting with Tat and Cammie was feeding Tegan. I went for Liam first. As he saw me coming, his arms and legs started flapping, I picked him up and blew raspberries on his neck, causing him to giggle. “Oh, I missed you sweet boy.” I held him to my chest and rocked him back and forth. I walked over towards Cammie and looked down at my little girl. “Hi, sweet girl.” I ran my finger over her cheek, she stopped sucking on her bottle and let out a cry. “Come here.” Cammie placed her in my arms and I was happy that both my babies were safely in my arms. Tegan stopped crying and laid her head against my chest. I smiled at Cammie with thanks and she squeezed my hand in response, I knew I could always count on her for anything.
“Daddy!” Kelsey called out. I turned around as Blade picked her up. I walked towards him and he shifted Kelsey onto his hip and held his arm op
en for me to join them. We were complete again, a family.
Blade
I DIDN’T THINK I would ever be standing here again, yet here I was about to walk in the doors to the Devon Destroyers clubhouse. I took a deep breath and pushed the doors open, the bar area was quiet, no club whores around which was strange. I heard shouting coming from the room we had church in and headed that way.
Everyone stopped shouting and looked at me as I stood in the doorway.
“Well, well. Look who’s here. Bring that whore of yours with you?” Prez asked.
“Shut it, Dad.” CG said. “Is Heather ok?” he asked me. I nodded.
“Sit down, everyone.” Prez instructed as he stayed standing. I looked around the room and saw a box sitting in the middle of the table.
“What’s that?” I whispered to CG. He shrugged, I’m guessing he didn’t know. Maybe this was what the Prez was about to tell us.
“As you all know, we have a rat amongst us… Someone found out a secret of mine and ratted to the police. Now that person is not leaving here alive. If I am going down, he is going down with me. Let me introduce you to the rat.” Does he mean me? I technically never told the police anything, I assumed it was my dad.
“Blade, stand up.” Prez instructed. My chair scraped back on the floor as I climbed to my feet. “This gentlemen is our rat.” He drew his gun and pointed it at me, I looked around the room at the stunned faces.
“Yeah, ok. I admit it, I was approached by the police, told to rat you out or I go to prison. I was not leaving my family here unprotected. But I didn’t rat on you, someone else did. I saw you at your warehouse with the Satan MC and when I went back for more info it was empty.”
“What’s this about the Satan MC?” Itch asked.
“He was planning a merge with them,” I informed the club.
“That is something that has to be voted on at church.” Itch yelled.
“It was for the good of the club.” Prez stated. “Anyway, this guy sold me out and my informants told me the police are coming for me. So you aren’t living to see that.” He cocked his gun and aimed it at me. The other guys around the table started yelling. All that kept flashing through my head was Heather, Kelsey, Liam and Tegan, I hoped they would be ok without me, I hoped that Heather would find someone else she could love and trust.
