I can tell how much this club means to him though. Which is why after this ridiculous meeting with Jessica I am going to propose to Sticks for Slater to patch in as a member.

If Sticks agrees we will take it to Church for a vote.

He deserves it. The kid has been a prospect for over eight months. In that time span he hasn’t given us an ounce of trouble. He’s done what has been asked of him without question. There is no doubt where is loyalties lie and he is genuinely a good guy.

I just need him to do this one last thing for me. It doesn’t hurt that he offered last night either. I would have asked him to come with me regardless.

A man can never be too careful.

And it’s best to keep company that you trust.

Slater earned that trust with me.

Tucking my gun in the waistband of my pants I then go to put on my Vipers MC cut. On the inside I had it custom made so I can place my trusty knives, cigarettes and lighter.

I have a feeling I’ll be needing a cigarette or two after talking to her.

“I still wish I could go with you,” Alice says to me with a small frown on her face. Sitting on the bed with her hair a chaotic messand the bed sheets covering her perfect tits she has my mind drifting to to a place where I could make us lose ourselves for hours. And we have on multiple occasions. Glorious occasions where I explored every inch of her skin and my lips feasted upon her like she was my last meal.

Every time with her is like my first. Because of that I can never get enough of her.

Even now when I really have to go I’m trying to figure out if I can spare at least ten minutes with her.

Crossing the room I sit down next to her. She leans closer to me without realizing and it brings a smile to my face while also warming my heart. It’s the little things that have the biggest impact. Having intimacy with one another without being“intimate”is one of the things I love most about our relationship. We’re always connected, attuned to one another in our needs and wants. Sometimes it’s just holding hands. Others it can be a shoulder to lean on or an ear for listening. Whatever it may be there is more to intimacy that just sex. And I would have never of gotten to experience that if it weren’t for her. My beautiful angel.

“We talked about this,” I begin softly.

“I know,” she sighs sadly. “Doesn’t mean I can’t be upset about it.”

Shifting closer to her I raise my hand to caress her face. She leans into my touch before holding onto my wrist. Her eyes bore into mine with so much emotion it’s hard to focus on just one. Worry is heavy in those honey brown eyes. I wish there is more I can do to assure her that everything will be fine. There are some things that not even I can do. And I know if the situation was reversed I would be just as worried as she is. The love I see so very clearly in her eyes is what I need her to focus on the most. Our love is strong enough to weather the storm. I need her to remember that.

“I understand,” I tell her. There is no point in me trying to make her feel like her feelings are invalid. She has every right to be upset. “But I will be back here before you can even miss me.”

She smiles.

A smile that she only ever gives me.

A precious gift that I get to keep forever.

And it lights up every cell in my body. Giving me a feeling that leaves me so high and powerful that I could never rightfully describe.

“I’ll miss you the second you walk out those doors.”

In return I give her one of my own smiles that I have only ever given to her. “Trust me, Rosa and the girls will have you so busy here that you won’t even notice that I’m gone,” I tease her.

Bringing her hand up her fingers trace my lips before resting on my jaw. “They’re great don’t get me wrong but they aren’t you.”

I raise a brow at her playfully. “Why, Alice, you’re making me think that I’m the only person you’ll ever need.”

She comes closer to me and the bed sheet falls as she moves. Confidently and seductively she swings her long legs around my waist and straddles me. Her beautiful body that is a work of art is on full display for my eyes only to see.

As my eyes take all of her in as if I’m seeing her for the very first time I can feel myself getting hard. She feels it, too. And it’s taking all my self-control to not throw her underneath of me and have my wicked way with her.

Her hands play with the ends of my hair before settling on the back of my neck. When I’m done admiring her body I meet her eyes once again.

Then her lips slowly descend and she gives me a soft kiss that lingers when she pulls away. A small yet promising taste of what’s to come. “I do need you, Reed, this is true.” Her voice is low. She moves her hips. My cock strains against my zipper. “Ineed you in more ways than one.” Moving her hips again she makes her point as I feel how wet she already is.

Fuck.
