Page 42 of Blade: Blade Outlawz MC

There were conversations about children, and we both wanted them. I hadn’t had time to take a pregnancy test. I didn’t mention it to Dion, either. I wanted us to get through the meeting and the drive first.

After my shower, I went back to the bedroom, and Dion was on the side of the bed, putting on his socks.

“I guess you used the other bathroom,” I said as I walked over to the dresser. I hadn’t officially moved in with Dion, but we did talk about it. I had no problem with moving here, but we just hadn’t gotten around to it. The plan was to move in after the meeting.

Dion got up from the bed and walked over to me. “I did because I would have fucked you if I came in there. Those couple of minutes didn’t do shit for me, but we’ll handle that later.” He kissed my cheek. “I’ll be downstairs.”

“Okay.” I finished getting dressed and headed downstairs.

Dion stood when I reached the bottom step. He wore jeans with his blue vest with his name on the back. I didn’t get a vest yet, but I wore my pink jacket with the pin on it he gave me. I would get my vest once the club officially welcomed me.

“What if they don’t accept me?” I asked when I reached him.

“There’s no reason why they wouldn’t.” He kissed my temple, then grabbed our keys from the table.

We held hands as we left the house and walked to our bikes. I prayed the ride to the clubhouse helped calm the nervousness in my stomach. Being accepted by the Outlawz meant a lot to me. It wasn’t just because of Dion, but I wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere.

By the time we arrived at the clubhouse, the nausea had subsided, but my heart palpitated something crazy.

“You’ll be fine,” Dion affirmed as he climbed off his bike.

He came over and helped me off mine. I took a deep breath as we walked inside.

All noise ceased when we entered, and I squeezed Dion’s hand. Every single pair of eyes were on us as we walked toward the center of the room.

“I asked you all to come early because I wanted to formally introduce you all to the official first lady of the Outlawz, Pepper.”

For a second, no one said anything, and I almost ran out of there until Axe stepped up with his glass in the air.

“Welcome to the club, sis.”

Once he gave his blessing, everyone else saluted and welcomed me to the club. Over the next hour, I was introduced to so many people that I wouldn’t be able to remember everyone’s name by the time I left.

“I’m just glad there is another lady around here besides those skanks that like hanging around,” Mouse said as we stood near the bar.

I found out she was the secretary and the only female in the club. She told me about how she’d known the guys since she was little. I could see she and I becoming friends at some point.

“I was so worried about being accepted,” I admitted.

“Girl, the way Blade looks at you, it wouldn’t have mattered how anyone felt.”

At that moment, I looked up at Dion, and he winked at me. The gesture made my heart skip a beat.

“I think you’re right.” I winked back at Dion and turned toward Mouse. She was a cute little thing, and she told me about how she had a thing for Bear, but nobody knew about it.

I encouraged her to talk to him, but she was too shy to approach him. I noticed how he watched her every so often.

A few minutes later, Dion strolled over to me.

“You good?” he asked, then pulled me into his arms.

“I’m perfect.” I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him.

He leaned against the bar and held me close.

“I have a question to ask you.”

I leaned back a little to look into his eyes. “I’m listening.”
