Page 29 of Ace's Ascension

“Plan for Stone, Duke and Tex. If Butch is done with Kendrick, then he will go too.” Kayne counters.

“Thank you, Prez.”

“Now that’s out of the way, does anyone have questions or concerns?” Kayne asks.

“I do.” Duke raises his hand with a smirk, like the smartass he is.

“What?” Kayne barks.

“Are there any hot chicks in Louisiana? I mean, if I’m going to be sweating my balls off down there, I at least want to sweat them off a happy man.” Everyone laughs, lifting the tension in the room and I flip Duke off. The man is always thinking with his dick and one of these days it’s going to get him into a world of trouble.

“Fuck off,” Blayze responds to Duke's question.

Duke feigns being hurt by placing his hands over his heart but laughs. The fucker is covered in tattoos and has a clean shaved head. No one takes him seriously.

Kayne whistles over the laughing group of brothers and they all quiet down. “Now we know what’s going on, Ace, you can fight again, but only if you take Stone or Rooster with you. Also, Butch will be out of the Clubhouse for a while. Once this shit with the Feds is situated, he will be back. Maddox, get the figures together on how the bar, repair shop and dance studio are doing and get those to me by the end of the day. I want to get everyone paid tomorrow. Also, Cahal has another run for us coming up in a few days. This one will go to Ohio and back. Once we get that done, there will be another big payday.” Kayne looks at Blayde. “Did I get everything?”

“No one rides alone for the foreseeable future. Until the blowback from ending Steam is handled. Also, Kick and a few of the Savage Saints, Detroit members will be here at the end of the night. Make them feel welcomed.”

Kayne slams his gavel on the table, ending Church. We all file out and I immediately find Liz with Alyssa, Poison, Siren and Holly playing pool. She doesn’t know I’m behind her and I use that to my advantage. Liz bends over the table, giving me an unfiltered view of her round, perfect ass and my dick takes notice. As she lines up her shot, I grab her hips, pulling her luscious ass against my raging hard-on. Liz squeals and misses her shot.

“Ace, you asshole.” Liz pushes against my chest with strength I didn’t know she had.

“Wanna get out of here?” I ask.

“And go where?” Liz stares up at me with lust in her eyes.

“I want to show you something if you’re up for it.”

“I’m always up for it. Are you?” She responds wiggling her eyebrows. The little minx.

“Cap that thought for later. Stone is going with us.” Knowing where I want to take her has me anxious and nervous at the same time.

“Ok.” There is no hesitation in Liz’s voice and that makes me proud of her trust in me.

“Stone!” I shout over my shoulder.

“Yeah, Ace.” Stone answers a few seconds later like the good prospect he is.

“Saddle up, big boy. We’re going for a ride.”

“Copy that.” Stone’s grey eyes don’t flinch at my command. His nerves of steel would be intimidating, but the place I want to take Liz to, you have to have a set of balls just to get through the doors.

Half an hour later, we’re on our way to the secret destination. Liz still has no idea where I’m taking her, but remembering a conversation we had those first few days we met, I know this is the perfect place to bring her. She is wrapped around me tightly as I weave in and out of traffic in the busy part of the city. Stone is keeping up, riding right beside me down the main street. I pull off into an alley and park my bike next to the familiar brick building. Normally, it’s dark when I’m here but my hands have been itching since yesterday and I can’t wait for nightfall.

“What is this place?” Liz asks, struggling to get her helmet off. I laugh while helping her and she growls.

“Don’t worry Sweet Cheeks, you’ll get it one of these days. Besides, I like taking things off you.” I wink at her and Liz’scheeks turn a bright shade of pink. I kiss her on the lips before setting her helmet on my bike seat.

Stone is standing sentinel at the door, waiting for us. His cold grey eyes are scanning our surroundings, waiting and watching. He doesn’t say much, but when he does, it’s important to listen. I approach the metal door, holding onto Liz’s hand.

I turn to her before knocking for entrance. “What we’re walking into isn’t for the weak. Keep your chin up and whatever you do, don’t show fear. Remember I’ve got you and you’re safe or I never would bring you here.” Liz’s grip tightens in mine but she squares her shoulders, nodding her head. “Welcome to my world.”

I pound on the door in three rapid successions, pause then two more before pausing again and bang on the door four more times. The lock slides back and the door swings open. It’s so dark, you can’t see inside but I’ve been here so many times, I don’t need to see. Liz’s grip tightens even harder on my hand while we walk further down the dark musty hallway. Once we reach the light at the top of the metal stairs leading to the basement, Liz’s grip slightly relaxes. The further down the stairs we go, the darker it gets, and the more Liz hangs onto me tightly. Stone’s footsteps echo behind us and the tension is streaming off him in waves.

We reach the bottom of the metal stairs and the scent of blood and sweat permeates the air, making my skin tingle. I walk us down another dark hallway until we reach a metal door. Without banging on it, I push it open and my hands begin to tremble with adrenaline. I glance down at Liz and her mouth is hanging open in shock. I close her mouth shut with a finger and she looks up at me. Her baby blues are dark with lust and anticipation.

I lean down so my lips are against her ear, “Welcome to my world, Sweet Cheeks.” My voice is raspy and a shiver skates down Liz’s body when my lips linger against her heated skin.
