“Mom gets something in her head, it’s hard to change it,” Emery responds, setting a platter of cold cuts on the table. “She wants all her family around to celebrate this, so we’ll give ittoher.”
I smile. “Right.”
“How are you feelin’?” Emery asks, and I smile overather.
“Wonderful.”
Never been better is morelikeit.
People file in while I deal with guys wanting to start fights. Being the hostess with the mostest isn’t an easy task, but I fightthroughit.
Luckily, my brain decided to stay with me after the near drowning. Sometimes, it takes me a few more minutes to remember something, but I can’t complain. The only thing that really gets me, though, is my reflexes aren’t as good. I’m working with Charlie in the gym to beefthoseup.
I quit Schade’s place, but I still work at X, and I’m happyaboutit.
Bristyl, Cooper’s woman, helps dole out the food and keep it filled. I realized quickly she’s a kickass woman. Leah, her friend and Green’s woman, also came andhelped.
Laughter catches my attention. It’s because it’s Deke’s. A deep, low rumble, but it’sthere.
He’s here with his family, laughing. I can’t ask for anything more than that, besides waking up every morning inhisarms.
We were lucky in the house department. I didn’t even fight him on the purchase. I just made sure the inside was nice and a home. A real home. That’s what I wanted out of this. A place that we could grow. A place that reminds me of a time when my parents were alive. And a place to give us both peace. Wefoundit.
This room filled with people who love my man, who care about me, is what life’s about. My family left me because of a twisted woman. I’ll never have my mother and father back, and missing them will be a daily occurrence until my last breath. But being surrounded by the Ravage MC fills a part of me that’s been a void forsolong.
Deke has given that to me. He has pulled me into his life through the ups and downs, continuing to stand by my side. He’s given me so much, and I’ll spend my life giving backtohim.
Chapter Twenty-Seven
Rylie’s titsbounce up and down as she rides my cock hard. I grip her hips, not needing to help her, yet unable to stop myself. She moans, grinding down on me, swiveling her hips and driving me to the brink ofcoming.
I flip her, taking control, pumping inside of her repeatedly as she claws at my shoulders. Then she explodes, wrapping so tightly around my cock, shemilksme.
“Love you,” she saysbreathlessly.
Every damn time she tells me this is a fucking blessing. Hearing her, feeling her, touching, tasting her—everything about her is my miracle. Time with her, I will not wasteit.Ever.
Looking over at the clock, I say, “Need to get to theclubhouse.”
“Thought you weren’t workin’ at the shoptoday?”
My job at Banner kicks ass. I’m back to workin’ on cars, trucks, and bikes, in my element. While I liked being behind a desk sometimes, it’s nice to be in the thick of things. My employment there went on and off the rails with everything that happened, but now, I’m there full-time, plus some. I wouldn’t change a damnthing.
“On clean-upduty.”
“Gross,” shegroans.
She’s not wrong. Last night was a hell of a bash at the clubhouse, for no other reason than to celebrate. Prospecting for the Ravage MC has its ups and downs, and this is one of those downs, but it’s part ofitall.
Being in the fold is an experience all its own. The way they have my back, give themselves freely, as I do the same—it’s beyondfantastic.
Each day, I gain more respect with the brothers. And each day, I wish I would’ve made different choices. But what’s doneisdone.
“Right. Sooner I get shit done, the faster I can get back in bedwithyou.”
“Okay,” she repliessleepily.
Drunk sex with Rylie is top notch. We’ll be replaying that many timestocome.
