I’m going to punch the next asshole that fucking asks me about the damned date. – Werewolf
There were more people for Friday night dinner than usual. Even members from the other clubhouses were there. After an hour, Nessie locked herself in the room with her latest novel. Around nine, Knuckles let himself into the room bringing a bowl of chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce.“Hey babe.” He sat on the couch and held a spoon out to her. “Are you hiding from me too?”“No. Not yet.” She said shifting so he could slide behind her and settle in the corner.He kissed her neck before scooping up some ice cream. “The guys mean well. But we’re fucking idiots. Even more when it comes to our woman.”“Yeh know that I can’t…”“I know.” He said getting some cake. “Tell me about the stones.”“Yeh know Stonehenge?” Nessie asked and he gave an mm-hmm around his cake. “It’s the most popular, but not the only one. One wasn’t far from where I lived. TheDani Li volunteered to be the waitress. You guys have a great night. Tip not needed. – MiaNessie stood in Karan’s room looking at herself in the mirror. She couldn’t think of the last time she was this dressed up. Even with Bradley she didn’t dress up like this.Her long fire red hair was in a loose French braid with curled tendrils framing her face. Karan had done her makeup accentuating her sapphire eyes and heart shaped lips. She even liked the way her light dusting of freckles looked. The dress was a shimmering blue that clung to her figure and ended mid thigh. The cowl neck hung low without being low-cut, remaining modest while also being sexy. The long sleeves ended just above her wrists where she wore multiple silver bangles of varying sizes and styles. Her legs were covered in black hosiery with a seam going up the back. The thigh highs required no garter belt leaving nothing but sleek lines. Silver and blue shoes with red sole bottoms and four-inch heels
Your secret is safe with me. My romantic asshole. – Charlotte“What about yeh? What was it like growing up a Saint?”He went through his childhood; the good and bad. His aunt, uncle and cousins being shot. Taz surviving and moving in with them. All the things that he got away with because his dad was a Saint. The constant fighting between the three kids. His mother being caught in crossfire during a robbery at a convenient store. Losing a second mom sent Taz down a deep spiral of self destruction. Pulling herself out after the rape. He barely mentioned him killing Stinger. They had discussed it before, there was nothing more to tell.Knuckles told her about Scrapper and how much he had finally started to mature over the past year or so. He was pretty sure that his brother had a woman that he was getting serious about. Maybe that was why he was growing up. Nessie smiled knowingly, but said nothing. It was not her place to tell someone else’s story. He told
We’ve all been there. We want to know if you’ve been there yet. – KaranThe next morning the girls arrived in the kitchen earlier than usual. The brothers did too. As the dining hall began to fill, Karan picked up Knuckles plate and coffee and motioned for him to follow. “We can’t question her about the big date and anything after if you’re sitting in there.” Karan said setting the plate and coffee down. “You too, Cookie. I’ll bring you a plate. And you already know that she’s going to decline your proposal.”James laughed as he sat across from Knuckles and a surly Cookie joined them. “Anything happen afterwards?”“Nope.” Knuckles said tucking back into his breakfast. “Don’t think I could go that long without getting laid.” Cookie grumbled as he watched Karan getting his plate together through the window. “I think you’re proposing to the wrong woman.” Knuckles advised. Cookie glared at him as Karan brought the plate over and placed it on the table. Sh
Yeh'll know when. Come home. It will end soon after. – GramsKnuckles restrained himself and only defended himself against James. Toad called for Cookie and Sledge to separate them. Nessie went to Knuckles and snuggled against him. He tugged against Sledges grip and wrapped his arms around her. “She’s made her decision. He has my blessing and Grams. And if you think that being my son is going to save you from punishment, you’re a fucking idiot.”“I can’t watch her throw her life away!” James yelled. “What life?” Nessie yelled back as she turned to face her cousin. Knuckles rubbed his hands up and down her arms trying to calm her. “What fecking life do yeh think I have? I spent six months on the run waiting for bones to heal. I had to have surgery to set me arm. I’ve been here for nearly a year and yesterday was the fifth time I’ve left the compound.”Tears filled her eyes and slipped down her cheeks unchecked. Knuckles pulled her back to his chest and
Heard what happened, take the day. Let me know if you need tomorrow. – WerewolfKnuckles lay on the bed with Nessie asleep on his shoulder. He knew that the brothers had heard her screaming at night. Before they had started sleeping together, he had heard it. He had been the one to force her door open to make sure that she was okay. After that night, her door was never locked at night.Cameras were added the next day as a precaution. Whoever was on screen duty was to always have a camera on her. At first, there were no exceptions. When she and Knuckles started getting serious, he became the one exception. He had only turned them off once. They turned audio off the majority of the time. He knew that the club was aware that nothing was going on between them. It was hard to hide that fact when someone always saw what was going on. The majority of the club had heard her screaming herself awake, her whimpering in her sleep. They had seen her be startled into a pani
I was trying to protect her. Someone needs to. – JamesJames knocked lightly on his dad’s door. Toad barely looked up from his phone call and just pointed to a chair. The son sat in the chair and reached for the rubix cube and his dad shook his head. It was another ten minutes before he hung up the phone. “Close the door.”James started to stand only to discover Werewolf in the doorway. The large man came into the office and closed the door before making his way to the couch. “He’s taking her out to the greenhouse to pick plants.” Werewolf said as he sat down and handed the file folder over to his president. “What you are about to learn, stays here. You mention it, and it won’t be any of us that you have to worry about.” Toad warned. “Your mother finally has a daughter, and she is not happy with her son right now.”James nodded and then accepted the file folder from his dad. Inside were pictures of Nessie from when Khan and Arnold snatched her in Germany.
It’s my choice, not yours. Deal with it. – Havi“What’s going on?” Toad asked sitting back down and pulling out his whiskey. “The decoy for Nessie was shot at last night, morning for us.” Came the answer as Werewolf grabbed sodas out of the mini fridge. “Is she okay?” the president asked as he poured whiskey into two travel mugs.“They missed and she was Israeli special forces, I’ll let you guess what Havi had to say about them.” They tapped their mugs together in cheers and both took deep drinks.“Havi? I think I met her a few years back.” Toad said topping off his drink. “She was here for another job. Her and Dom did not get along. At all.”“Yeah. I remember all that now. It was before Whip. Who was she with then?” Toad leaned back in his chair and propped his boots on the corner of the desk. “Tammy? Tommy? Hell, tits or dick?”“Tits, I think. Tory?” he imitated his presidents pose from the couch. “Pretty sure it started with a T. Tiffany?”
Oh, lass. Yeh worry about your bairns and yer men. Yeh let me do the worrying about the cake. – NessieOver the next several days, Nessie tried out different cake recipes for Evie’s wedding. The brothers gave thumbs up on all of them where as the girls and old ladies gave honest opinions. This was confirmed when she knowingly made a bad cake. Despite the men barely eating any of it, and the looks of disgust that they could not hide, they continued to praise her cooking.The women knew the truth and had a hard time hiding their laughter. The fifth attempt seemed to be the best. She tweaked it a little and made a strawberry compote for the filling. She already had a sugar free icing recipe, although she played with it a little too.The cakes were made, as were the finger foods and Christmas Eve dinner. The compound was decorated and the garden was ready for a winter wedding. Karan had insisted on Nessie having a new dress for the wedding. The girls picked a long
I’m very good at being Sophia. I just don’t like being her. – ShilohThe door to the Shack opened and a large group of men in suits entered with a woman in the middle of their pack. As they moved through the building, the men moved off and took up positions around the large space. The woman stopped in front of Pagan who wrapped her up in his arms.“We’re going to get them back.” She quietly promised.“I know.” Pagan whispered against her neck.She pulled away from him and pressed a kiss to his lips before she turned in his arms. “Werewolf, what do you know?”“They were taken by Aranya. We know where their president is.” He answered.She spoke in Italian, and six men stepped towards Werewolf. “Tell them.”Werewolf nodded and pulled up the map on his tablet. He explained where the Aranya clubhouse was located and what he knew of the buildings. “Don, with your leave?” Nico asked and Sophia nodded.“Yes, bring him to me.” The men turned to leave. “Nico," Sophia warned, "do not spill any
Mother, I’m not sure who you think you are but let me assure you who you are not. – SophiaNico leaned over and spoke softly in Sophia’s ear. “Do not let her take hold again. You are in charge of her. You control her.”Sophia nodded and gave him a small smile. She needed the reminder. Shiloh only had to be Sophia for a little while longer. They were winning the last few hold outs over to their side. There were a few that her mother still had convinced that it should be her stepson to take the position.With Sophia at his side to make it legitimate.Otherwise, he was just another son of just another capo. Elizabeth did not want to admit that she had moved down the ranks of the family. When she had first married Joseph, he had been second in line to the throne. His older brother and wife were both killed only a few weeks after Joseph had married Elizabeth.Joseph would be the next to lead the family. But then, the inner war took place and Joseph was caught in the crossfire. His father,
I don’t give a damn how it’s done. I just want it done. – PaganPagan was hammering out his frustration along with the hot metal on the anvil. It was the second day of the meeting with the family, and he was missing his wife.He couldn’t help the smile that crept across his face when he thought of Shiloh as his wife.When it was confirmed who her family was, he understood why she did not want anyone to know that they were married. Until everything was settled, it could put him and his girls in danger. He didn’t understand everything about her family, but he knew it worked like the Saints.They had a family leader and CEO of the company. Shiloh was Nonno’s only living heir and should take his place. Be the next CEO. But it was not what she wanted.She would do it out of duty and obligation. And Pagan was certain that she would be good at it. Shiloh had a good mind for business and could lead the family and business with very little effort. But her heart was n
If it goes well, you will never have to use your old name ever again. – NicoPagan loved waking up in the morning with Shiloh in bed with him. Most mornings, he woke up with her sucking on his cock. Or his balls. Or moving between the two.This morning was no different. He moaned as his hips thrust up and she took him all the way down to his base.“Fuck, babe.” Pagan growled.She hollowed her cheeks and bobbed up and down on him. His hands fisted in her hair and guided her as she bobbed, and he thrust. Pagan pulled her off him and towards him for a kiss.“I need in you.” He said between kisses.Her hands moved to his shoulders as she moved up his body. He sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Shiloh wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. Moving his mouth to her neck, Pagan guided her onto his cock. “Pagan.” She sighed as his head pressed against her folds, sliding into her slickness. He growled again
I love you, Shy, but if you say you’re going to wear a white dress, I’m calling bullshit. – GertieSaturday after they got married, Shiloh went with some of the other ladies to a bridal shop. Surrounded by so much white and ivory, she and Gertie stood out. They looked at each other and shared a smile before they both busted out laughing.“Yeah…” Karan smirked. “I don’t know if we’re going to find anything for Shiloh here.”“Yes, we will.” Rye assured her as she walked towards the back of the large warehouse style store. The rest of the women all shrugged and followed her back. They weaved their way through racks and racks of gorgeous white, ivory and pale pink wedding gowns. There were large and puffy ones, others that were slim and fitting. And there were yards and yards of skirts, hundreds and thousands of beads. Satin, silk, taffeta and tule.Several of the women stopped to admire a gown or dress here and there. Mia pulled one out and held it in front of her.
I won’t even tell Toad. I’ll just tell him that we got the marriage license. – PaganPagan and Shiloh walked into the Shack holding hands just like they always did on Church nights. Ashlyn ran towards Priscilla to show the teen the new outfit. Alyssa headed for Athos to try to con him into a ride. Pagan was never sure if she was going to try for a ride on the bike, or a horse.Nessie looked at the couple as they came through the door from her usual table between the pool tables and the couches. She grinned at them, and Pagan headed towards her having learned not to avoid her. Nessie always knew way more than she should and said that the ghosts talked to her.Pagan had seen the poltergeist activity. Heard her say things about people that very few knew. “It looks good on yeh.” Nessie grinned at Shiloh. “What?” she asked quietly.“A new last name.”They both were quiet as they stared at her.“Yeh’ll not hear it from me. It’s not me place. We can put it
This is just for you and me. The other wedding will be for our girls. – Shiloh Shiloh walked into the front office of the fab shop and did not miss the loud annoyed sigh from the woman behind the counter. Pagan had told her about Carrianne and admitted that if it wasn’t that she was so freaking efficient, he would certainly fire her.But she kept the shop stocked with the iron and other metals that they needed. The other supplies and equipment were never low. Water and sports drinks were always on hand in the coolers and protein bars on the shelves. Project schedules were laid out with monthly, weekly and daily time allotments. Custom jobs were priced and bid for a hefty profit while not discouraging the buyer. Phones were answered when they had to be, although she preferred emails. And those were responded to within a business day at the most.Pagan knew that she did most of her work while she was at home, and he had no problems with it. Carrianne had told him onc
Most people make the mistake of overcooking the lasagna. – NicoOn the second Saturday of the new year, Nico invited himself over to teach the girls how to make authentic Italian lasagna. He showed up with almost all the ingredients that they would need. As he mixed up the pasta dough, he explained everything to the girls. Pagan and Shiloh sat at the table watching them. “Daddy always just thaws out the lasagna and puts it in the oven.” Ashlyn declared and Nico acted like he was going to die in the kitchen.Shiloh laughed at her cousin as he lay on the floor clutching his heart, mumbling a prayer in Italian. “I’ve made it from scratch before.” Pagan grumbled with a smile.“You never made the pasta.” Ashlyn pointed out.“Or the sauce.” Alyssa added.Shiloh laughed harder. “They have no loyalties to you when it comes to food.”“None.” Pagan agreed as Nico slowly and dramatically stood back up. The girls were helping him as he clutched the cabinet door
I don’t think that you understand your place within this family. – Elizabeth GiordanoPagan and Shiloh spent New Year’s Eve at the Shack while the girls went to a kid’s party over at Chance’s house. He knew that his new wife would not be comfortable with the New Year’s Eve activities and hosted the annual party for the kids. When Pagan had called Chance at ten in the morning, Rye answered the phone whispering.“Hey, Pagan.”“Good morning, Rye. How are the girls?”“Still asleep. Hang on.” Pagan could hear her moving around in their house and then she took a picture. A moment later, his phone chimed as the picture came through and he clicked the speakerphone button before he moved the phone so that both he and Shiloh could see the screen.Chance was lying on his back asleep on the living room floor. He had his niece, Morgan, asleep on one shoulder and Alyssa asleep on the other. He looked happy and content asleep surrounded by a dozen or more club kids.
