“I don’t expect you to share me. Come on, we gotta get up now. Oh, and just so you know, you’ve always been my endgame too. I just stupidly thought I couldn't have you and be President."Wrath says as he makes his way to the bathroom to get clean.
I can't help admiring his ass as he walks away. Fuck, he's hot as fuck. Once he's no longer in view, I roll out of bed, grab some of his dirty clothes off the floor, and clean myself up before I shove my boxers back on and make my way to my room for some clean clothes and a shower. No way was I walkingacross the corridor naked; knowing my luck, I'd run straight into Shadow.
Once I'm clean and dressed in fresh clothes, I head downstairs for a coffee before going out for a ride. I already know before coming downstairs that Wrath would have left for The Clubhouse. There's no doubt that he has millions of things that need his attention. Being President takes a hell of a lot more attention than people tend to think; every little thing needs his approval, and someone always wants his attention.
I seriously hope there aren't any issues with any of the members when they find out about the change in our relationship. I really won't be held responsible for my actions, if there are. I fucking hate homophobic assholes; I've dealt with enough of them in my life; I refuse to deal with them within Devil's Inferno. They've never had an issue with my sexuality, but will they have one now that their President isn't going to hide his?

Shadow
I wake up hard as fuck after spending the night dreaming of Megan and all the things I want to do to her. I can't resist messaging her to see if she's free this morning. I need to see her again. Luckily for me, she is.
I meet up with her at Point Park, which isn't far from her home, where I dropped her off last night. I can't believe what a lucky fucker I am that she agreed to go out with me. Spotting her walking towards me, I see she's got her purple hair's down inwaves, framing her face just right. She's wearing a light amount of make-up, not that I believe she needs even the small amount she has on; she's a beautiful woman. Her outfit's a tight pair of blue skinny jeans with a white top that sits falling off one shoulder, giving me a nice tease of her creamy pale skin. She may be dressed simply, but fuck, she's stunning. If I have my way, she'll be mine.
Reaching where I’m waiting for her, she greets me with a quick hug that pushes her beautiful breasts into my chest, and I can feel myself hardening because of it. Luckily, before it became too obvious what was happening in my jeans, she pulls back.
We spend the next hour walking around the park, talking, and getting to know one another. She seems wonderful; during our time walking, she's told me about still living with her mother to help out with her younger brother, as their dad had abandoned them years ago. It's such a selfless thing for her to do; she certainly seems to care about her family, which is definitely a positive thing in my opinion. Family's a massive thing for me. She certainly doesn't seem anything like the other women I've dated in the past; she seems more down-to-earth and genuine. I’m all for that. It's a nice change from women just wanting me because I’m a biker or because of my money. I want to give this a try with her, and I'm hoping she feels the same way.
As she is about to leave, I give her a quick hug and kiss on the cheek. She surprises me with what she says, though.
“I really like you, Shadow, but can we keep this between us for now, please?”She asks, her eyes flashing with hope.
I feel like I've been punched in the gut. Why does she want to keep it a secret? I don't keep secrets from my Devil's Inferno brothers, and especially not from my family and my best friend, Wreck. God, I want to give this a try, though. She seems like a great woman, and they aren't easy to find. I was going to haveto do something that wasn't me and not say anything to anyone. Fuck.
“Can I ask why, Megan?”I ask her softly, hoping her reasons are good before I give her my answer.
“I'm just not ready for people to know. We're new, and I'd like to keep you to myself for now. I want to get to know you better before the rest of the world has an opinion.”She sounds so honest. I can't help but want to give her what she wants.
"Okay, we can keep it under wraps for now, but I don't like keeping secrets, Megan. This can't be forever.”
“Thank you so much, Shadow!”She exclaims, before leaning forward and kissing me quickly.
It’s far too quick for my liking; it's more of a tease than anything, and fuck if I don't want more. I watch as she spins on her heels and quickly walks towards where she's parked her car. The whole time, I can't help but watch her walk away; her ass looks amazing in her jeans. I seriously can't wait to have her under me. The plans I have for that beautiful woman would make a grown man blush.
After leaving Megan, I head over to Devil's Ink to check in on how things are going with Wreck being away, looking for his missing brother. He's been gone for months now, and I miss the fucker something fierce. This is the longest we've ever been apart since we met, and it fucking sucks. Talking on the phone isn't the same as seeing him every day. I promised him I'd keep an eye on the shop for him while he's gone. It might be a Devil's Inferno business, but it's Wreck's baby. He built it from the ground up, using his reputation in the tattoo world to draw in clients from all over the country. He’s also hired some other amazing artists over the years. He just hired a few more before he had to leave, and he's still worrying about whether they're fitting in. In my opinion, they're doing great; there are no issues between themand the other staff. Plus, I've seen their bookings. They have fucking loads.
Walking into Devil's Ink, I see Jackie behind the reception desk. She's an older woman who takes no shit from anyone. She's been working here since the day we opened the door, and I can't imagine the place without her. Her and Wreck are Devil’s Ink. Walking over to her, I lean across the counter to kiss her cheek.
“How have things been, Jackie?”I ask as I pull back.
“Busy. All of them are booked fucking solid Shadow. I'm having to turn fucking walk-ins away because we just don't have the staff. We need more artists, but we don't have the space for them.”
“Don't you worry about that; something's in the works to solve the spacing problem. I know there isn't enough space anymore. Devil's Ink has outgrown this place.”I tell her while looking around.
“It certainly has, to think that ten years ago there was just me and Wreck in this place, and now I've got artists coming out of my ears.”She says with a laugh.
“That's true, Jackie. I'm going to go into the office and check through some of the never-ending paperwork I promised Wreck I'd keep on top of and seemed to have let fill over half of the desk.”I say sheepishly.
“He'll kill you, best friend or not, if he sees all that. Go on and get some work done.”She says pushing my shoulder in the direction I need to go.
She's not wrong. I do need to get through some of the paperwork in there; if I don't, it won't just be Wreck killing me; it will be Rock and Ink too. They've asked me multiple times for things, and I still haven't sorted them out. Shit, I need to get my ass in gear.
Chapter Six
Wrath
Ican't help the smile that's on my face, even after what went down last night with Craig and finding out about a new unknown enemy and the potential mole within Devil's Inferno. It's taken me nearly forever to fucking get the balls to claim my man, and I'm going to be happy about how things went this morning.
