Scar smiles, satisfied with our responses. “All in favor of making Tucker a full member?”

A chorus of “Aye” echoes around the room, and Scar motions for Tucker to step forward. The atmosphere in the room shifts to reverence as Scar begins the ceremony to patch Tucker into Underground Vengeance MC.

“Your road name will beTrencher,” Scar announces.

“Why Trencher?” Nitro asks.

“Because Tucker was in the trenches with us during our fight against Blackstone. I’d go to war with him again because I know he’d be right beside me, battling just as hard as me.”

“Thanks, pres.” Tucker—no,Trencher’seyes shine with pride as Scar hands him a black leather cut with “Trencher” embroidered on the front and “Member, Underground Vengeance MC” on the back. Trencher slips it on, his chest swelling with pride. “Fits just right.”

“Thank fuck you like it,” Scar says with a grin. “Otherwise, I wasted a fuckload of money on this cut.”

“Welcome to the family, Trencher,” I say, clapping him on the shoulder. “Wear that shit with pride.”

“I will,” he replies, grinning from ear to ear.

We all gather around to congratulate our newest member.

After the handshakes and back slapping’s over, Scar holds up a hand to get our attention. “Tomorrow, we’re all heading over to Nina’s to celebrate. Be there at noon, and bring something to grill. No roadkill, Talon.”

“Me?” Talon asks, feigning innocence.

“What did he bring?” Trencher asks.

“Fuckin’ squirrel.” Nitro makes a gagging sound.

“Slap a little bourbon sauce on and it tastes like chicken.” Talon grins.

“That’s disgusting,” I mutter.

“Don’t knock it till you tried it.”

“Not gonna happen,” I growl.

“Get the fuck out of here and have some fun tonight. Bring your old ladies and the kids tomorrow. And Nitro?”

“Yeah?”

“Try not to set the barn on fire tomorrow.”

“I didn’t know those fireworks I smuggled in from Mexico were going to explode.” Nitro chuckles. “Nina’s got a fire extinguisher now, so it’s all good.”

“God dammit,” Scar rubs his hand over his face. “Get the fuck out of here.”

“See ya!” Nitro laughs as he leaves.

As we head out, my thoughts drift to Ace. I can’t wait to get back home so I can keep playing with my son. He’s a mini-me, just not as darkand twisted. I’m going to make sure he stays that way. I won’t let anyone creep into his life and destroy his joyful spirit. Maybe I shouldn’t think of it this way, but I almost feel like I get to be a kid again alongside him. It’s a second chance at the childhood I never got to enjoy, so I want to make the most of it.

When I reach the front porch of the clubhouse, my thoughts are sweetened by visions of cream cheese frosting slathered across my old lady’s tits. My tongue is more than ready for an adventure, and my woman’s body will be my treasure map. I can’t stop thinking about all the places I’m going to lick her, and it goes without saying that tonight’s going to be one of the best nights of my life. I can’t wait to drag her sexy ass to bed.

Chapter 31: Lexi

Sunlight streams through the curtains, warming my skin as I lay tangled in Reaper’s strong arms. He shifts in bed, his rough hands exploring my body like it’s the first time all over again.

“One more round,” he murmurs, his voice husky with desire.

I laugh and push him away gently. “We’re going to be late for Nina’s barbecue if we don’t get out of bed, babe.”
