“Now that is how we should wake up every damn morning.” He smiled down at me before his lips met mine. Banging on our door made us both jump, Holland reached for his gun sitting on the table beside the bed.
“Kickstands up in fifteen…move your ass Holly.” Holland groaned into my neck.
“I’m going to fucking kill Matt one of these days.” I giggled.
“Hey, it’s not funny he’s trying to make that my road name, that shit is not cute. Don’t be smirking at me Miss Sassypants.” He poked me in the ribs making me laugh even harder.
“You heard the man Holly, kickstands up in fifteen.” I shoved him off of me and made a mad dash towards the bathroom. He caught up to me and we spent the next thirty minutes in the shower not worrying about leaving. I could definitely get used to waking up every morning just like this with him.
By the time, we came out all the guys were standing by their bikes smirking at us. I gave zero fucks what they thought, I was fucking happy for once in my life. This time when I climbed on the back of his bike, I did it as his woman, a smile playing on my lips. I was his, he was mine, and we’d stand together in the face of whatever came our way.
Epilogue
Holland
One Year Later
Sometimes in life you get a chance at something great, not good, but fucking great. Bella was my chance at something great, and over the last year I’ve shown her how she means to me every damn day. I won’t say everything has gone smoothly, because that would be a lie. Bella is as prickly as a cactus some days, her own fears get to her, but I make sure to remain solid for her.
Somehow Lorenzo is in jail for murdering his buddy Victor. Someone called in a tip to the local police and they found him, along with the gun used that night at the club. When they searched the rest of the club, they found drugs and a room full of women chained to the walls. All fingers pointed directly at Lorenzo and he went away for a very long time. It reminded me that sometimes the law does work on your side, even if you have to give it a little hand in the right direction.
The day he was convicted Bella threw a huge party at the clubhouse and sold off all of Cain's property. It gave her a nice little nest egg to live off of until she decides what she wants to do. Crimson is in college working towards her Associate’s Degree in graphic design. She’s been dating Brickhouse for the past year, and he’s planning to ask her to marry him once she graduates. He asked for mine and Bella’s blessing, and we both agreed as long as he waited ‘til she was at least finished with her degree.
Standing in front of all my friends and family, I totally understand his need to claim her. That’s why after six months of living with each other I asked Bella to marry me. It took her another three months to say yes. Damn I loved her sass. Once she said yes, I wanted to make it official as soon as possible. So here we are in the field behind our cabin getting ready to say our vows.
Looking around at my family and friends I see how happy they all are. Even my sisters are here with Matt’s brothers. I’m still not thrilled at the fact that we might become family for real because of those four but seeing my sisters happy again makes up for it.
“You nervous?” Bart asks from beside me.
“Nope, not one bit. This feels too right to me to be nervous.” Bart gave me a knowing smile as he looked over at his own woman Bliss holding their daughter.
“Yeah, I understand completely. Here she comes.” Glancing up the small aisle, I saw my woman making her way slowly towards me. She took my breath away in her lace dress, that swayed a little as she walked. Spaghetti straps held up the lacey confection, with layers of lace for the skirt part that came up at an angle to show off her legs. Her hair was pulled back by a single clip attached to her small veil.
“Breath babe.” She whispered up at me with a smile playing on her lips. Life couldn’t get any better than that moment as we said the words that would make us one. When the preacher told me to kiss the bride, I picked her up and crushed my mouth against her. Whoops and hollering commenced as I made her mine forever.
The End
