A few months into being a NICU nurse, she met Gerald. He was an intern and it was fun. He wore her down by being persistent. Two months into dating him, she found out he was prospecting to be in a motorcycle club. When her mom found out, she went ballistic.
Then Gerald aka Taz, got arrested and wouldn't tell her why. She broke up with him. But he kept coming around, and she agreed to give their relationship another try. She really enjoyed being with him as he was a lot of fun. He never asked her to go to the club parties. And she never asked to go either. She was torn between being who her parents wanted her to be, and being the fun girl she was with Taz. A few months went by and things were great. She hated lying to her parents about not seeing him, but she really didn't understand why her mom was so against it. Friday night was a rough night. A baby was born at 21 weeks. As much as they tried, they couldn't save it. Addie was devastated. She always took them really hard. They'd been lucky in the past year and not lost many. Her hospital was top-notch and a level three. About 2am she left work and headed to see Taz. She got to his apartment and the music was loud. He obviously was having a party. Taz wasn't in the living room or kitchen, so she went to his room. She opened the door and found him naked with two women. "Well, I have to admit, this is a first." She retorted. "Fuck!" Taz muttered. "Don't let me interrupt. And by the way, lose my dang number you two timing cheating piece of shit!" Addie yelled at him before slamming the door and leaving. It felt good to curse him. She felt sad she was losing her fun boyfriend, and realized she was only upset over that fact. The fact she was losing out on having fun. Not the fact she lost another boyfriend. She had started little by little to talk with the other nurses her age. It was difficult for her, and she had been shy, and really didn't know how to make friends. Taz tried calling and texting. He came by her apartment, but she refused talking, texting, or letting him in. He then, one night, was waiting at her car when she got off work. "Can we talk? Can I explain?" He asked. "Hmm, can you explain why you were with two women when you promised we were exclusive?" she asked. "That's a big heck no! Me not responding to calls or texts and me not allowing you into my apartment should have been a huge sign it's over for good!" "Come on baby. Don't be like that. We're great together." Taz grinned. "Hey, what can I say? I love sex and with the club I have to protect my rep, and it's expected." "We'll run along and get to it. You don't have me holding you back anymore!" She retorted. "Don't show up again. Or I'll get a restraining order for stalking!" Then she got in her car and left. He called and texted for a few weeks. Gifts showed up at her apartment that she refused. Finally, after a couple of months, he gave up. She enjoyed the single boring life again for a little while. Then she met Anthony. He was a pediatrician. She decided to give dating another try. Anthony was safe and treated her right. He took her to dinners, bought her gifts, even texted her often. He was perfect. Even her parents approved of him. He just was not perfect for her. She stayed with him a whole six months, playing it safe. But she was so bored, and it became a chore to stay in the relationship. Her conscience got the better of her, and she broke it off with him. Addie finally had her first real friend. Paris was also a NICU nurse and only a year older than Addie. After much pleading and begging, Paris finally talked Addie into going to a nightclub with her and the rest of the nurses who hung out together. They mostly hung out and enjoyed unwinding from the stresses of work. They would drink some, but not get drunk. Paris finally talked Addie into tasting her first beer. Addie was not a fan. So then she tried her first mixed drink. "Ok what do you call this? It's sweet and tastes good. I can't even taste any alcohol." Addie replied. "It's called a strawberry daiquiri. It doesn't have much alcohol in it." Paris agreed. That night, a group of bikers walked in. They were hot and dressed in leather vests. The Taz experience had Addie refusing a second look. One club was enough, no matter how hot and sexy the guy was looking her way. She had to admit he was hotter than any guy she'd ever seen. But he was obviously in a motorcycle club and her one experience with that was enough. And then she realized who he was. It was him, her biker, well not hers, but the one she always fantasized about. He had aged very well. There were even more tattoos and muscles than she remembered. What she wouldn't give for him to be her man. It must have been the alcohol making her think these things. "What's with biker boy giving you a second look?" Paris asked. "Who?" Addie replied. "You know exactly who I'm talking about. You have both been looking at each other all evening," Paris retorted. "I really don't know. Just a guy I've seen around." Addie explained. "Somehow I don't believe that's the whole story," Paris mused. "He's in a biker club. I dated a guy who was in one before. He went to jail, and then when I gave him a second chance, he cheated on me with not one but two women at one time." Addie replied. "Well, not all bikers are bad. I should know, my brother is one. I also dated one for a while until I got bored with him." Paris explained. "Is your brother in the biker club that's here tonight?" Addie asked. "Yes, he is. His name is Ian, and he's one of their Sargent At Arms. His road name is Joker." Paris replied. "Road name?" Addie asked. "Yeah. It's like their nickname the club gives them." Paris explained. "Do you know the one that I was looking at?" Addie asked. "Yep, I know biker boy who's been staring at you. His road name is Cage," Paris replied. "Why Cage?" Addie asked. "He's a damn good mechanic for cars and trucks. A cage is what bikers call cars." Paris explained. He continued to stare at her most of the evening. Women came up to him all through the night, but he sent them away. He never approached her, or held eye contact for too long. Addie wished he'd at least try. Yep, it has got to be the alcohol. She promised herself she would drink water the rest of the night. Addie and Paris became very good friends. Over the next few weeks, she'd go out with her friends. Sometimes he'd be there with his friends. He'd check her out but never approach her. She felt very disappointed that he never even so much as said hi. She had asked Paris all about the biker club, and about Cage. Paris told her what she knew, which wasn't a whole lot. After she quit dating the biker, she quit hanging around the club. She did, however, describe in detail about the wild parties they threw at the clubhouse. Addie was horrified, but also a little intrigued. It made her face burn, but also excited her. She felt sure she could never handle that kind of life. It made her feel disappointed, because she really would like to get to know that particular biker. She started spending some nights with Paris. Her mom didn't approve because Addie was spending nights out with Paris and overnight. They often argued about it. But Paris was good for Addie. She helped her realize it was OK to stand up for what she wanted. She was an adult after all. Addie would still feel guilty, but Paris would explain to her about her mom controlling her. Paris was helping Addie find her true self. She no longer felt bored with her life. Or felt she was just existing. She loved her job, and for once was happier than she'd ever been. Finally, she felt like a person and not a robot. But she still wasn't content with her life just yet. All that was missing was that special someone she could truly love. And figuring out completely who she really was and wanted to be. Her mom was still turning on the guilt when she could. But Addie was learning to understand she wasn't wrong for feeling like she did. Little by little she was starting to understand that it was OK to be mad at someone and let them know. And it didn't make her a bad person for wanting to speak her mind. Paris helped her to also understand that the only person she needed to please was herself.The Riders MC clubhouse was loud with music blaring, and people talking or laughing. Viper (Jack) was the Prez which means president. His Vice President or VP, was Steel (Frank). Mac (Dustin) was their IT tech guru and in house brains.Diego (Eduardo) was their Road Captain. Cage (Taylor) and Joker (Ian) were the SAA's, Sargent At Arms. And their Treasurer was Sym (Michael). They had other brothers who were just officers for voting purposes.Cage was sitting at the bar nursing a beer deep in thought. He was still thinking about the beautiful woman he'd been seeing for years. He remembered the first time he saw her on the beach. She was in a pretty one-piece bathing suit and was gorgeous.He could tell right away she was innocent and a good girl. The kind that doesn’t mix with bikers. One who'd never make it in his world. Once like his own mother. That brought back painful memories.His mother had been excited to be with a biker. Up until she got pregnant. She had given birth to him an
"My name is Taylor, but my road name is Cage." Cage replied."I’m Adeline, but my friends call me Addie." Addie replied.They danced a couple of songs before he led her back to her friends. Then he took a seat beside her. He looked over to his buddies who were watching. A couple of them made sex gestures.He listened to her friends talking. And learned they were all NICU nurses that deal with high-risk babies. He was impressed with what he had learned so far. She definitely had the beauty and brains covered.He got a text from the Prez to report to the clubhouse. He looked over to see the others were also checking their phones. They all looked at him and started to stand. He nodded to them.“Sorry gotta head out.” He explained.“Ok. Thanks for the dances.” Addie replied.He grinned and left. She watched him walk over to his buddies, and then they all left. Paris was watching her. She could see there was more going on than just a guy asking a girl to dance. They all said good night and
After Addie got over her fear, she actually enjoyed being on his bike. It was an adrenaline rush, that's for sure. She was so excited and had so much energy she thought her cheeks would freeze from all the smiling. After they had been on the road for a while, they pulled over to a wide spot on the side of the road."Is there something wrong?" Addie asked."No. You're not used to riding, so I wanted to give you a little break." Cage explained.Everyone got off their bikes. Sym and Diego were on their phones. Joker and Paris get off his bike. She walked over to Addie, rubbing her butt."Damn, it's been a while, my ass is numb." Paris laughed.The guys all laughed. Addie just smiled. She was still so jittery from the ride, that she feared her voice would betray her. They made small talk for a few minutes, then got back on the bikes."Prez said we needed to stop at the clubhouse before we took the women home," Diego replied.Addie was horrified about having to go inside. Her face turned b
“Cage, come see me when you get back.” Prez replied. "Ok Prez." Cage agreed.Cage and Joker took the girls back to their car. Paris got in and waited for Addie. She was fidgeting nervously. Cage smiled at her nervousness.“Thanks for the bike ride. It was fun.” Addie replied. “Glad you enjoyed it. So, can I have your number?” Cage asked. “Sure.” Addie beamed. She gave him her number. He gave her his. Then she got in the car and they left. She was smiling dreamily. “What’s got you all happy?” Paris asked. “He asked for my number!” Addie replied. The girls went to Paris’s house. The guys got back to the clubhouse and Cage went to the office to see Prez. He knocked and went in. He was curious as to what he needed.“You wanted to see me?” Cage asked. “Yeah, come in and shut the door.” Prez ordered.Cage shut the door. Then he went and sat down in a chair in front of his desk. Viper looked at him for a minute before he spoke.“How well do you know that girl?” Prez asked. “I’ve see
Cage took Addie's hand and went into Paris' house. Addie led him to the bedroom she used when she stayed there. Paris was at work, so they had the whole house to themselves.Addie walked into the bedroom nervously. Cage followed and shut the door. He could tell she was nervous. And he smiled."We don't have to do anything you aren't ready for. You say stop, we stop." He explained."I want to, I'm just nervous." Addie explained."Let me see if I can help with that." He smiled.Cage took off his boots and then his shirt. Then he walked towards her. He leaned down and kissed her while pulling her body against his. His hands went to her butt and pulled her up against his groin. Her arms went around his neck and he deepened the kiss when she gasped at the contact. Cage let her go so she could kick off her shoes. Then he helped her remove her shirt. Next, he removed her jeans. He stood back to admire her beauty. She was in a pink matching bra and panty set. While he was admiring the view,
No. I need to tell you something, sit down." Viper ordered."Well, what is it? I don't have all day." Shondra huffed."Fine. Right to the point then. I found out I have a daughter." Viper explained."Yeah right. That's a good one. Now what did you need?" Shondra laughed.Viper just stared at her. Once she realized he was being serious, she shut up."Who had your child?" She demanded."Lydia." He replied.Shondra jumped up and slammed her hands on the desk. "It's a lie.""I had Doc do a DNA test. It was positive I'm the father." Viper replied.Shondra was furious. She had begged Viper to make her his old lady. He had always refused. She knew he was still hung up on Lydia. Many times, after she found out about her being pregnant, she had begged Viper to let her have his child. He refused every time. She had made that bitch run.But that hadn't been enough. 30 years later, she was coming back between them, again. Her anger got the better of her, and she took her hands and swiped what she
"Pack your shit and get out. I know what you did. You cost me 26 years with my daughter. Time I can never get back. I missed 26 years of her life because of you. Get out of my sight, or I promise you, I'll forget you're a woman!" Viper vehemently replied.Shondra gave a death glare to Lydia, then stormed upstairs to her room. Viper motioned for an officer to follow her. Then he took Lydia to his office. Half an hour later, Cage brought Addie in."Mom? What are you doing here?" Addie asked."Addie, I need to tell you something. I hope you'll understand and not be mad at me." Lydia replied."Ok. Mom, what is it? Is something wrong with dad?" Addie asked."No. Let's sit down." Lydia replied."OK, we're sitting, now please explain." Addie requested."Before I met Lee, I met Jack, I mean Viper. We had fun together. I had dated Lee a few times. I found out I was pregnant and I got scared. Jack, Viper's lifestyle was very scary to me. I was threatened to stay away from the club. So, I told L
Over the last month, Addie has spent time around the clubhouse and with Viper getting to know him. She, however, has not attended any of the nightly club parties. She started dressing to please herself. Among her clothing changes were crop tops, short skirts, and skin-tight jeans. She even started curling her hair and wearing makeup. She moved in with Paris after her mother told her about Viper. She wasn't ready to forgive her just yet.True to his word, Lee filed for divorce. He let Lydia keep the house in case Addie moved back home. Addie and he talked a couple of times a week. She felt he was still and would always be her dad.Cage finally talked her into attending a club party. Viper had warned everyone to not be as wild while she attended. He wanted her to get used to the club before showing her how crazy some of their parties could get.Viper and Lydia still had not told Addie about them rekindling their relationship. They were taking things slow and Lydia was still leery of cl
