The next day his book releases and Macie had built up ad campaigns around it. There were literally people lined up outside of several large bookstores waiting to buy a copy. And online eBooks were going through the roof. Caiden had been in her office all morning.They watched the sales, and he was shocked speechless. A first for him. Macie had been in touch with the bookstores she ran the campaigns in. There were a select few she always used, and they would bend over backwards to accommodate her with all the past business she had brought them."I told you it was good. Caiden the story was freaking hot. It's what women want! There aren't many good writers like you that put out stories like that. And those that do can only produce so much." Macie explains."I just didn't think it would be this huge. I mean, wow." Caiden replies."So, let's talk about your next book." Macie laughs."Umm, yeah let's not." Caiden blushes. The man actually blushes."You have already started on it haven't yo
He turns his head and looks in his room. "What the fuck?" Kneeling in front of his bed naked is one of the club whores. He wonders how the hell she got in. The door is always locked, except for the cleaners. "Cherry how the hell did you get in here?" He demands. When she doesn't respond, Macie looks in horror at Caiden. He glances at Macie, then returns his attention to Cherry. Then he realized his mistake. "Permission to speak." Caiden retorts. "Now!" "I came in with the cleaners." Cherry responds. She's still kneeling, and her eyes are down cast. Macie is furious and uncomfortable. There is no way she'd do something like that. She's questioning this whole thing. "Get yours clothes, get the hell out, and don't ever enter my room again!" Caiden roars furious. "That's an order!" Cherry gets up, grabs her clothes, and runs out of the room. Macie is still shocked out of her mind. She looks at Caiden who is staring at her. He can see the indecision in her face and knows she's abou
They walk back into the dining room. "Ladies!" Scarlett raises her voice to be heard. The three women look at her. "Are you going to sit on your ass all day? Or get to work? Cause trust me the cleanup will be waiting on you no matter how long it takes. And we know how hard it is to scrub off dried food!" She crosses her arms giving them her own hard stare. The three women hurry to their feet and start cleaning and hauling dishes to the kitchen. A few the guys smirk. "Damn Scar give them a break!" Dagger laughs. Scarlett gives him a dirty look. "Or not." He replies holding his hands up. "Club bunnies know their place and duties! I shouldn't have to remind them. They laze around enough as it is. Or do you want to pitch in and help them?" Scarlett demands. "My bad!" Dagger replies. Steele gives Dagger a look that gets him leaving the room in a hurry. Scarlett raises a brow at him. The two seem to have their own private conversation. Scarlett leaves the room and Steele follows her.
Macie is out with the girls. She'd had one drink earlier and that was her limit. It was getting late, and she was ready to leave. She was about to text Caiden she'd meet him at her apartment, when a text from him came through. Text message from Caiden's phone to Macie. "Hey baby, me and a couple brothers went to check out a new bar. They hooked up and I'm too drunk to drive. Could you pick me up?" Caiden asks. "Sure, send me the location." Macie replies. ***location sent*** "Be there in 30." Macie replies. "K." Caiden replies. "Hey just pulled up outside. Can you come out? This place looks bad." Macie asks. "I need your help. I got too drunk." Caiden replies. "Ok be right there." Macie replies. Macie parks and walks into the bar. It's crowded and there's a lot of shady characters watching her. Her gut is screaming at her to get the hell out of there. She walks over to the bar. It takes a couple minutes, but she finally gets the bartender's attention. "Excuse me, my boyfriend
You have been an exemplary employee. Made this company tons of money. Know your stuff and you know what the public wants." He pauses and she smiles."Thank you sir. I love my job." Macie replies. "Which is why this is extremely hard for me." Her smile drops confused. "There have been some pictures sent to us of your extracurricular activities outside of work. While your personal life is at your discretion, there is one that does cross company policy. Getting involved with a client. "He slides an envelope over to her. "These were emailed to me. And this envelope was left at the front desk." He explains. She opens it. There's tons of pictures of her and Caiden at the clubhouse. And pictures of that dreadful night. "I see." She replies. "This is really a terrible situation. Our company can’t condone this type of behavior. We have our reputation to uphold. As much as I hate it, I have no choice but to terminate you." He sighs. "I understand." She stands. "Your hands are tied. And you
Kenzie storms into the bar and over to Caiden. Some of the brothers see her coming and back away. No way any of them want to deal with a pissed off woman like her. "Excuse me, Colt?" She retorts. Some of the brothers mutter "oh shit" and "she looks pissed". "What do you want?" He retorts back. "You lost too?" "Oh no, I know exactly where I am! I'm in the presence of a no good for nothing lowly cowardly piece of shit that gives bikers a bad name! Now face me when I talk to you!" Kenzie demands. He turns around with anger on his face and crosses his arms. A few of his brothers snicker. He glances at them and they look away. "You know I'm really disappointed in you. I encouraged Macie to give you a shot. Told her not to believe all those stories that bikers are thugs, criminals, and heartless bastards. I told her there's good and bad in all people. And I hate to be proved wrong!" She began. "I told her just because you're a biker, it didn't mean you weren't a decent guy. But boy d
"Brother, you need to talk to Macie." Jax replies. "But you need to get cleaned up first. Go shower and change. I'll drive you over. Don't want you wrecking your bike in the state of mind you're in." James orders. It was just after 7pm. If he hurried, they could go tonight. Caiden nods and does as his brother said. After his shower, his temper had cooled. Now he felt nervous deep in his gut. He was afraid Macie wouldn't forgive him. The future without her looked bleak. And what about the baby? He knew it was his. His mom was gonna kick his ass. Making things right with Macie was his only option that felt right. James drove Caiden to Macie's home. Kenzie opened the door. "Came to grovel and beg? Don't see you on your knees dog!" She demands. "Back off people fuck up!" James growls. Kenzie raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms over her chest. James eyes move to her boobs. Kenzie rolls her eyes. "Kenzie, I need to see her. There's a lot that neither of us knew about. We were set
"Kenzie, who is this man?" He demands."Who he is, is none of your damn business. Charles you had no right coming to my home this time of night. Now it's late, and I will see you in the office on Monday." Kenzie retorts."Send your friend home so we can talk." Charles demands.James starts to reply but Kenzie cuts him off. "How dare you come to my home and give my guest orders! I'm not your woman anymore. You've got plenty of them you don't need me. Now as I said I will continue to be your PA but that's it! Strictly professional. All the other perks are gone!" Kenzie retorts. James puts an arm around her waist and pulls her back against him as if staking his claim. Kenzie grins and leans into him."You can't actually prefer that biker over me! We're good together. Darling she meant nothing. It won't happen again." Charles replies."It wasn't just about your current secretary! Two years I've gave you everything! And I find out the whole damn time you've been fucking other women while

It's been five years since they lost the baby. The loss actually brought Rider and Ash closer together than before. They still go to Angel’s grave on her birthday and death day. Ash still updated her on the kids and their lives each time.Jaycee and Gage finally had their own baby. A little girl they named Angel. They bring her to visit often. Any time they get an exuse for a ride, they head their way. Ash was sitting at a picnic table with Maddie, Cassie, Scarlett, and Kenzie. She was both happy and sad. Happy to have all her MC family and friends around her. But sad to see the summer end and school right around the corner. Ash sighed. "Oh, I know that sigh." Maddie joked. Her and Maddie remained the best of friends. And now Maddie's mother in law Cassie had become like a mother to Ashley. One that Ash had always wanted and needed but never got from her real mom. Ash looked a little embarrassed. "I just can't believe AJ is starting middle school, Faith is starting third grade, an
Well these two bitches were disrespectful to Ash in the bathroom. Talking about her losing the baby and saying all kinds fucked up shit about her being with Rider and even mentioned Angel." Scarlett sneered. "Jules, you know better than to disrespect an old lady." James demanded. "She was the ringleader." Scarlett spat out. "She said Ash couldn't even carry Rider's baby. Who says fucked up shit like that about a miscarriage?" James was disgusted. "You're both banned from the club." Both women started squirming and whining but Scarlett had one hell of a grip on their hair. She wasn't letting them go. Scarlett was gonna help them out the door. And probably down the parking lot on their faces! "Torque see these two out and tell the gate to add them to the no-fly list." James ordered. "Yes Prez." Torque replied. Scarlett didn't let go. "I'll help you take out the trash." James rolled his eyes. Steele grinned like a cat who ate the canary. Fighting always hyped Scarlette up. And she
The club was having a patch in party. The two prospects that had been working in Rider's garage were finally getting patched in. They'd done their year and had really helped Rider in the shop tremendously. After the miscarriage the two twin brothers had basically ran the shop. It had allowed Rider to spend some much-needed time home with Ash. After Rider went back to work, Ash brought the kids to visit daddy at the shop and brought them all lunch quite often. One brother was a whiz on autos while the other was almost as good as Rider on bikes. Ash wanted to go to their party. She really felt like they were two younger brothers. Rider was unsure she should go since she hadn't been to the clubhouse since she lost the baby. All the old ladies had visited her at home. She hadn't felt comfortable enough going anywhere in the past six weeks. Ash had given all her cases over to the other attorney she'd hired in her office. The only client she hadn't turned over was the MC. Thankfully t
"Angel was not only my sister who I loved with all my heart, but she was also my best friend my entire life! When she died, I didn't have time to grieve my sister and best friend leaving me. No, I had to step up and care for her infant son, and take care of her other two kids." Ash explained. "Rider fell apart and I don't begrudge him that, he loved her more than anything! He needed time to grieve so he could continue to be a father to his kids without his wife." Ash had to stop to push back the tears so she could continue. Jaycee lost the pissed off look she had on her face. Ash was hoping that meant she was getting through to her. She didn't want this animosity between them. The kids loved their aunt Jaycee. "We didn't go into taking care of the kids together to start something between us. It was just there. Lord knows we ignored it as long as we could. But I know my sister, and she loved me. She loved Rider, and she loved the kids. She would want us happy." Ash replied. "Rider
Rider sent Maddie home. She assured him she'd help the babysitter get the kids and bring them to their home. After they released Ash, Rider drove her home. When they got there the kids ran to her. Rider grabbed them before they could tackle her. "Hang on we gotta be extra careful as mommy's sick. Be very gentle." Rider explained. Ash hugged all three and told them how much she loved them. Then went to lay down. Rider had asked the babysitter to stay overnight for a few days. After of course he ran it by Ash. She was so tired she fell asleep as soon as she laid down. Around 2am she awoke to a warm body surrounding her. It felt so good, but she was afraid to accept it. She tried to move, and the arm wrapped tighter around her. "What do you need?" Rider's voice was barely a whisper. Obviously, she'd woken him. "Bathroom." Ash replied. He let her go and sat up in bed and watched her. Ash turned the bathroom light on. She pulled her pajama pants and panties down and gasped. They we
Rider ran his hands through his hair. "What if the pregnancy changes her like it did Angel? They are sisters. I don't think I can go through that again. At times Angel was a nightmare to deal with. And I have the kids to think about too." "Any woman has the ability to go through that. Knowing Angel and Ash I just think it's not going to happen to Ash. Angel was moody and tough before the kids. I remember y'all bumping heads many times." Preacher explained. "Ash is calmer. Not to say she can't be tough. We've seen her get tough when pushed. But I think Ash has a smarter mind. Her strength lies in her ability to deal with people and strategize. It's what makes her one hell of a lawyer." Preacher explained. "Those girls situation made them tough. Angel physically and Ash mentally. And kids are resilient, they bounce back quicker than most adults." He explained. Preacher gave Rider a lot to think about. Then a text came in from Maddie. "Ash is in the ER. She passed out. They're worr
Some of the brothers chuckled until Ash glared at them. It made them all look away. She was fuming, but wasn't about to let him continue to treat her this way. "I changed the security code. Don't bother to try it. Don't want the alarm alerting the police or scaring your other kids to death!" Ash retorted. "The fuck!" Rider growled. "Don't fucking test me Rider! I already feel like pure shit with this pregnancy. I don't need your bullshit on top of it! You may not give a damn about this baby, but I sure as fuck do!" Ash warned. Then she stormed out slamming the door. Maddie and Scarlett were staring daggers at him. He grabbed the picture and went to his room. He sat on his bed and stared at it. He had so many mixed feelings. Ash told Shyanne that she would start using her every day during the week. She was really staying sick throughout the day. She barely kept water and saltine's down. AJ had started to ask about Rider. Ash finally texted Rider that his kids wanted to see him. He
She was trying to remember her last birth control shot. With the Veronica situation and then the Cindy problems, she had forgot. If what she thought was true, she knew Rider was going to be pissed. He had said more than once he couldn't handle more than the three kids they had. Rider hadn't even mentioned marriage to her. The couple occasions they talked about kids he just said he couldn't think of more .He said the three they already had were a lot to deal with and enough. Ash never pushed the topic. She called Maddie and asked if she'd go to the pharmacy for her. The last thing she needed was to have someone see her buying a pregnancy test. A half an hour later Maddie arrived. Ash went to her door to let her assistant know she needed privacy. "Mrs. Wilder please hold all my calls for the next thirty minutes." Ash explained. She closed her office door. Thankfully Ash's office had its own bathroom. Maddie had bought her three. She took the tests and then laid them on the sink
