“Shit!” I hiss out.
“What is it?”
“Rae, I’m so fucking sorry. I forgot to wear a condom. I got so lost in us that I didn’t stop and think about the repercussions.”
“It’s okay, I trust you and I promise you I don’t have anything.”
“I’m clean too, but what about pregnancy, Rae?”
“I’m covered. I’ve been on birth control for a while now.”
Why is it the thought of her being on contraception bothers me? I should be elated instead of having a hot-head and wanting to recoat her in my come to make sure she’s marked by me.
“It’s not what you think, Jaxson. Mom got me and Maysen on it years ago when she recognized that we were noticing boys. I’ve never missed a dose, so we should be okay.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to be a father someday, it’s that neither one of us are ready and I’d like to have a few years of being able to spoil you.” The need to have her understand where I’m coming from is important to me.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to explain it to me. I feel the same exact way, I want you all to myself without having to share you with anyone. At least for a while,” she shrugs her shoulders.
“Are you sore?” The need to take her again consumes me.
“Not at all,” the minx winks at me. I pounce on her and take her again. Over and over until neither one of us can keep our eyes open.

“Oh my fucking God! My eyes are burnt! Quick, give me the eye bleach and help me remove what I’ve seen from my retinas!” I holler out as we walk into the cabin the next morning to see Lily and Maxum buck ass naked and wrapped in a blanket that isn’t covering all of their assets. “Maxum! I can see your dick!” I will never be able to look at him the same way again. He does have a great package though...go Lily, you lucky bitch! My man’s package is nothing to sneeze about, I’d write him up as the perfect book boyfriend, but Maxum is a close second.
“Rae, cover your eyes,” Jaxson places his hands over my eyes, taking away the vision of the beautiful Adonis that was standing in front of me.
“Too late, I’m blind! Can you make sure my seeing eye dog is cute at least?”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake, like you’ve never seen a guy’s dick before,” Lily expresses.
“I have, as a matter of fact I got to play with the perfect specimen of a man last night, thank you very much.”
“My ears! They’re burning, quick, Maxum, get me some ear muffs!” The guys are bowled over in laughter at our outrageous mumblings. What Jaxson doesn’t think about is that while doing so he uncovered my eyes.
“Damn, Lil, we are two lucky as fuck bitches.”
“Oooh, since you’ve seen mine does that mean I can see yours?”
“No!” both men shout at the same time.
“Fair is fair,” Lily pouts.
“She’s right, drop ‘em, Jaxson,” I tease him to see what he’ll do.
“Woman, I’m about to paddle your ass raw. I am not dropping my pants to appease Lily’s curiosity about my dick!”
“Don’t make promises you don’t plan on following through with.”
“And, she’s back,” Lily sing-songs.
“Loud and proud,” I testify.
“She was screaming the walls down last night,” my man agrees with my sentiment.
“Okay, there is such a thing as too much sharing,” Maxum mutters, “I think we’re crossing multiple lines here in our friendship.”
“Says the man with his dick swinging,” I reply. He grabs a pillow from the couch and places it over his junk which has me laughing out loud.
“I can still see your balls,” I inform him as gracefully and tactfully as I’m capable of. Lily and I both burst into laughter when his face turns tomato red.
“We’ll be back,” Jaxson states as he grabs my hand and drags me toward our room.
“I was having fun,” pouting, I cross my arms over my chest and plop down on the bed. I may look like a petulant child, but I haven’t been able to laugh and joke like this in a long time and I was looking forward to watching Maxum scurry from the room.
“The only dick you need to see flapping around is mine,” he informs me.
“If you say so, but you have to admit, Lily has a nice set of tits.”
“Are you trying to set me up for failure here, Rae? How in the fuck am I supposed to respond to that statement?” I brightly smile up at him because his unease is funny.
“I’d do her,” I affirm with humor laced in my voice.
“You would huh? Wouldn’t mind seeing that myself.” Oh, really now?
“You’d like that huh? Should I call her back here?”
“Fuck no! My president would have my balls in a vice and I really like them right where they are. Plus, there’s no way I can look at another woman and I’d lose my shit if I saw anyone touching you in a sexual way. I don’t and won’t share you with anyone, Rae. Not even a woman.” Good answer!
“I don’t share either so that’s good to know it goes both ways.”
“Now, how should we pass the time while waiting for them to dress?” His eyebrows playfully bounce up and down.
“I call dibs on the shower,” I race out of the room with him hot on my trail. The giggles that escape me once would have been foreign to my ears, now they just sound like a happy version of myself.
Later that evening we are all sitting around a bonfire with the supplies to make s’mores. Lily and I are enjoying a glass of red wine while the men have a bottle of beer in their hands. We’re laughing and telling jokes and a feeling of euphoria takes over me. This right here is the way life is supposed to be. Jaxson hands me a s’more he made for me and the chocolate and marshmallow are melting down my hands. I lick them and see the heat in his gaze. I shake my head no and he all but pouts at me giving me his puppy dog look. “Later,” I mouth, and he perks up. We’ve sort of been getting to know each other’s bodies and fucking like newlyweds. I can’t get enough of him and he has allowed me to use his body any way I like.
We’ve become like a finely-tuned piano with the way we know each other so well. The night wears on the ringing of his phone breaks the enjoyment. “It’s Axe,” he pronounces, walking away with the phone glued to his ear.
“Well, leave it to Dad to ruin a good time,” Lily pulls me out of my thoughts of what this phone call could mean.
“He might just be checking in,” Maxum tries to reassure me, but I know it’s more than that. I can feel it.
Looking at his facial features I respond, “I don’t think so, Maxum, look at Jaxson’s expression. It’s bad, I just know it is.”
“Don’t jump the gun, Rae.” Lily places her hand over my fisted one in an attempt to calm my racing heart.
It’s good to have my friend attempt to be the voice of reason, because as I take stock of my body, I can visibly see my hands shake and feel my jaw grinding in fearful anticipation of what’s yet to come. “I’ll try,” I verbalize.
“It’ll be alright, no matter what you’ve got the three of us.” I’m lucky to have the love and support of some amazing people in my life. My burner phone pings and I see a text from Mom.
No matter what happens you are strong and loved.
Tears leak down my face at her proclamation.
Love you too, Mom. Give Dad a hug and kiss from me.
I don’t know how she does it, but she always has this intuition to say the right thing at the time I need it the most. Her motherly intuition has always been spot on with all of us kids. She doesn’t love one of us more than the other, whether we’re hers biologically or one of her chosen children. Her love is pure and unwavering.

“Hey, Axe. Talk to me,” I answer Axe’s phone call.
“Marcus has gone underground. We can’t find him. He disappeared from the school. While Tig was waiting out front he took off out the back. We’re not sure if he made him, or if he had a pl
an to take off ahead of time. His dad is still around so Tig will be watching and following him to see if he’ll lead us to his son.”
“Fuck,” I turn around and look out the window and notice my girl has her eyes glued to me. Trying to school my expression before she realizes something’s wrong, I turn around and look down at the floor.
“Bandit and the Nelsons are searching high and low for him. We aren’t just sitting back hoping and praying that the DA will lead Tig to his sorry ass.”
Good, being proactive is the best way to handle this. If we sit back and do nothing while waiting on him to find her, we could be taken off guard. I will not be a happy man if something was to happen to my girl. “Axe, need to tell ya something.” Now’s as good a time as any to lay my newly developed relationship on the table so that he can calm Hatch’s beast before I have to face him. He’s a hard one to get, he may or may not be happy with the new development.
“Has something happened with the girls? Do you need us?”
“Nah, it’s nothing like that,” I calmly maintain.
“What’s up, Son.” I’ve always had a feeling of pride in my chest when he calls me that.
“Wanted to speak to you about Ralynn.”
“Well, spit it out then.”
“We’ve decided to give us a shot. A real one, we’re a couple. I wanna make her my old lady. If you could get Twisted to order her cut I’d appreciate it.” Sweat beads on my forehead as I await his response.
“I knew it!” That wasn’t what I was expecting to hear. “I won!”
“What? Won what exactly?”
“The bet, we’ve had one running since you four left and I called it. I knew y’all wouldn’t be able to resist each other once you were in an enclosed space for a few days.”
“Y’all placed a bet on us?”
“Abso-fucking-lutely! And I won! I can’t wait to rub it in Hatch’s face.”
“Hatch was in on this?” I ask dumbfoundedly.
“Of course, he’s the one who set it up. He thought it’d take you another week to win her over, but I knew better.” I swear if I could see through the phone he’d represent a peacock with his feathers raised.
“So, he’s not gonna kill me?” I need to confirm this because I can’t believe that Hatch was the one who started this whole bet thing on us.
“Son, we’ve been expecting this for years, ever since Rae became an adult. The antagonism between the two of you made it quite obvious there was an attraction.” Remembering that my woman called it foreplay causes a huge smile to break out across my face.
“She knows everything, Axe,” I admit quietly.
“The two of you have a lot in common, Jaxson. You’ll be good for one another.”
Another thought pops into my head. “What about DJ?”
“DJ wants her daughter whole and happy. You keep her happy and you’ll be okay.”
“It’s at the top of my list. So, how long do you think we’ll need to stay up here?” Not that I mind because it means more time with Rae, but eventually, we need to go home and I need to find a place for us to live and make a home. Yes, she will be living with me and making a house a home, something I’ve longed for since the day I lost my mother.
“We all voted and agree that we’d feel more comfortable having y’all stay put. At least until we can find Marcus. Rae’s safety is our top priority.”
“Okay.” I don’t say anything about Maxum and Lily. That’s his call to make, although I don’t think Axe will be as easy going with him as he was with me. “She started a tattoo and will be getting the coloring done in a few weeks.”
“How’d that come about?”
“She was asking me about mine and I told her that each of mine has a story behind it and I started getting them after I got out of the shit I was in. She liked the idea.”
“Did you get a good artist?”
“One of the fucking best in the country from what I understand with the research I did before we left. Folks travel from all over the country to get tatted there.”
“Anything else I need to know? Y’all need any money?”
“Think we’re okay on the money aspect. We just hit the grocery store and are fully stocked again.” I don’t share about the drinking party we had the other night. Some things are better off left unsaid.
“We’ll keep you posted. Stay safe.”
“Got it, Pres.” I disconnect the call and go back out and find Maxum. When he sees me, I lift my chin so he knows we need to talk. He leaves the chair next to Lily as they are all still enjoying the bonfire and we head inside, away from the prying ears of the girls.
“What’s up?” Maxum asks once we’re in the kitchen. We’re both watching the girls out the window.
“That was Axe. Seems that fucker Marcus went underground. They’ve got the Nelson brothers and Bandit searching, and Tig is now tailing the father to see if he’ll lead him to that bastard son of his.”
“So, we’re staying a little longer then?” Is that hopefulness I see in his eyes? I know he doesn't want to end our time with the girls any more than I do.
“Yeah, and you may wanna figure out what you’re gonna do with Lily and inform Axe.”
“She’s gonna be my old lady,” he states.
“Then you know what you need to do.” Not gonna babysit his ass. I had to fill Axe in so now it’s his turn.
“He’s going to chop off my balls and feed them to the predators in the woods. I’ll never be able to reproduce, and Lily will end up childless and with a man whose balls have been removed.
“Sensitive much? When did you grow a pussy, stand up and be the man I know you to be? I’m sure he’ll give you some shit for it, but he’s a reasonable person.” Yeah, except when it comes to his kids and old lady, but I don’t share that particular thought with him.
“Fuck! Don’t you remember how he was with that kid Lily went out with in high school?” At the memory, I start laughing because Axe and most of the brothers, dressed out in full leathers, managed to ‘show up’ where her date took her to eat. The poor kid had a table full of glowering men who made no effort to hide the fact that they were a bunch of badasses. He made an excuse that he had to leave and stranded Lily at the restaurant. She didn’t speak to any of us for weeks after that disastrous date. No one asked her out again until her Senior year, and even then, he was a punk who thought he didn’t have to earn or show respect. I mean, we may be bikers and badass in our own way, but we’ve never intentionally harmed a hair on anyone’s head. That kid had obviously watched too many shows on television. “She cried for a week, then she got pissed when he started spreading rumors about her, remember?” Fuck yes, I do. I wanted to rip that asshole’s lungs through his throat and feed them back to him.
“Ah yeah, Luca, Tig, and Rae showed him what it meant to fuck with a biker’s kid though.” And they had. Luca and Tig had stolen his clothes in gym class and strung them up on the goalposts on the football field. He was running around in a skimpy towel trying to get his stuff without displaying what he didn’t have, all while Rae videoed him. Then, they uploaded it to YouTube and all social media sites, the humiliation that kid suffered was hilarious to us. His parents didn’t like it, but when Axe confronted them, they backed down and took their son out of that school and enrolled him in the one the next town over.
“But the rumors stopped. Granted, she didn’t date much anymore while in school, but I don’t think she cared very much.”
“Man, she’s had her eye on you for years. Almost as long as Rae has with me.” She hid it a little better than my hellcat did, but the longing in her eyes every time she looked in his direction made me want to wrap her in my arms and give her some reassurance that the right man would come along one day. I’m glad I didn’t though, because lo and behold the man she wanted is the one who will treat her like the Queen she’s meant to be. At least the men have taught us that’s how our women should be treated from day one. I wish I could go back in time and fix th
ings between Rae and myself before she landed in the eyes of a psychopath.
Knowing that that’s an impossible task, I intend from this day forward that she’s treated and feels like the shining jewel she is. Walking back outside to get the girls, I laugh when I see that they’re passed out and Rae’s head is on Lily’s shoulder and Lily’s head is on top of Rae’s. Taking out my phone I snap a picture. The peacefulness on their faces as they sleep makes my chest swell. Damn, I love that woman with everything within me.
Maxum puts out the bonfire before we approach the girls. Gently picking Rae up, I murmur to her when she starts waking up. “I gotcha, beautiful. Go back to sleep.”
Ralynn
I wake up warm and cuddled in the embrace of Jaxson’s arms. Well, I say wrapped but technically I’m lying on top of him with my leg thrown over his. He’s more comfy than one would imagine seeing as he has all those muscles. Not remembering how I got to bed last night has me a little stumped. But I know my man took care of me, especially seeing as how I’m as naked as the day I was born. A preference of his when we’re sleeping. Something I don’t usually do, but with him I feel secure enough.
Remembering what drew him away from us last night, I desperately wanna ask him what the phone call was about, but he’s sleeping. Dammit! Moving around a bit, I realize that one part of him is not asleep and I grin mischievously. I know one way that’ll wake him up.
