RavenI spent the morning and afternoon at the gym. Even though I wasn't training much, it was just somewhere to be and escape from the outside world.Walking into the bar I see Ava, she rushes to me and hugs me."Finally, you keep disappearing from Parties. I've been lonely! So, after I finish here, I'm coming to your work, and then we go out together. You can’t escape me tonight." I laugh at her words and nod.Sitting I look across the bar and see Rizzo, he waves at me slightly. Turning away from him I concentrate on Ava and avoid Rizzo as much as possible."How's it going with the Caddel brothers?" Ava smiles."Honestly, weird." I shrug and she laughs."We need a girl's night, you haven't told me anything. All I know is you fucked Grayson and Ashton, and Emmett is avoiding you." She laughs and I nod."Emmett is no longer hiding. I don't know how to feel Ava, I'm not used to any of this." She looks at me confused."Any of what?""This, the attention, never been alone. I'm used to sl
AshtonWe’re halfway to the club when Grayson stops, and I watch as he places the phone to his ear. He looks annoyed and clearly is shouting. More has happened, but what? Getting from the bike I walk to him as he hangs up.“That was the Waysley brothers. Rizzo tried taking over his clubs today, well, his guys not him.”“He couldn’t start small, could he? He honestly thought taking over a gated biker community would be easy?” He’s a fucking fool.“Let’s just get Raven and sort it.” I nod and get on my bike. My mind on things, surely even Rizzo realised that Hawk is protected by us, not that he needs it. The whole biking community is behind him. So maybe it was a ruse? A distraction from what Rizzo was doing? We stop outside the club and I see a car smashed up. That’s not good, getting off the bikes we rush in and hear the alarms.Grayson ignores the dancers and everyone and rushes through, pushing the door open I freeze when I see her. Her clothes are ripped, her head is bleeding, and
GraysonSitting in the office we stay quiet. Today was fucked up, from start to finish."You didn't mention it to her?" Ashton looks at me."Because it's fucking cruel. It's her birthday, and for all we know, that card could have been Rizzo trying to distract us." As the words slip through my lips, I know that is foolish, that isn’t Rizzo’s style, so he is back, he’s here, watching her."You don't even believe that. Come on Grayson, what would Rizzo gain from sending her card covered in blood? Fuck all, the guy smashing someone's car outside to distract the security fine, yes, but the card no." Emmett speaks and I nod."I actually meant her ignoring you and following." Ashton laughs sitting."Don't Ashton, too much shit is happening for you and your childish shit, you want to do it, fine, do it away from me. I have had enough." The room falls quiet, I'm a jerk.“Grayson.” I spin hearing his words. His eyes widen seeing the blood, glaring at him I don’t move. I forgot to lock the damn
RavenI spend hours with Ava, sitting drinking and talking, I update her on everything that has happened. Minus the weird messages and gifts. That I won’t unload on her. I explained about the other night with Emmett, and then we sat for at least ten minutes dying of laughter when she realised that was what today's jokes were about.It's nice. I almost forget about all the shit that is waiting to explode. Yet, every now and then I see her looking at me and realise I have put her at risk. The longer I am her friend, the bigger that target becomes.I fall asleep with her, after hours of laughing and having fun. Only happiness doesn't follow in my sleep. I find myself reliving everything, screaming and trying to wake up from the nightmare.When I finally force myself to wake up, Ava is looking at me worried."Are you okay?" I nod at her words. "Really Raven? I'm your best friend, just tell me. Please.""I can't." She will hate that I have put her at risk."Raven, I'm your friend, how can
EmmettWaking I smile, today Raven celebrates her birthday even if she hates us for it. Walking out I make a coffee and sit, Ashton joining me."He seems to be sleeping for a change."I laugh at Ashton's words. Grayson rarely sleeps after six am, or before midnight. So for him to still be asleep after nine is strange. Then again, a lot has happened."No Ava?" I look around. I didn’t expect her to be one to sleep in."No, I’m guessing she is asleep. Her gifts are here. Alexa has things set up there. So tonight should be good." I nod to Ashton's words. Sitting we talk quietly, a short while later Grayson walks out of Raven's room.I look at him, he looks dead. He hasn’t slept, and based on his face he knows, and she spoke. He looks like he is carrying the weight of everything on him right now."She told you." It's clear from his face she spoke. He nods and sits down."She told me enough. Doesn't matter, for now, today we ignore it and concentrate on her birthday. Ashton go cuddle her wh
RavenWaking up next to Ashton was a shock. I was ready to punch him, the difference between him and Grayson is huge, so when I woke not feeling Grayson but someone else, my first thoughts were to hit the person.Luckily for Ashton, I noticed it was him. The way his hands possessively grasped my ass made me realise. He was smiling away at me, almost like he was up to no good. It was at that moment I heard my phone, and quickly turned it off without looking.I said good morning to him and walked to the shower, only to watch him follow, his eyes fixed on my ass as I walked to it. I couldn't help but look at him amused as he stepped into the shower with me. He teased my neck, telling me he was starved, before I had a chance to process his words, he was on his knees making me cry out with pleasure. Once he was satisfied with himself, he kissed me and left.I spent five minutes in the shower considering his actions, they were strange for him. Then, I turned on the phone. I wasn't expecting
GraysonHer small party went well. I struggled to work, my eyes constantly watching her dance and every time she was in certain lighting, I swear the dress went see-through and she had no bra. I didn't mention it, but looking at Ashton and Emmett, they clearly saw what I had.Just before leaving, I got a message saying her mum had arrived. I'm hoping it is a flying visit and she will be gone tomorrow. I’m hoping Raven tells her to fuck off, although I doubt it.We get back and Ashton and Emmett walk off, and I know that is them giving me space to tell her about her mum. I keep her hand in mine as I go to my room, and guide her to the shower."Your dress is see-through." I look at her, under this light I can see her fucking nipples."Is it?" She smiles at me."And you're not wearing a bra." My hand reaches up and grasps her nipple, a moan escaping her lips and I feel it harden under my touch."I tried telling you when you said to get ready, you told me to do it, so I did."Chuckling at
RavenI woke in Grayson's arms, his hand gently wrapped around my neck, holding me against him. I felt uneasy getting ready and sitting with Ashton, last night was still on my mind.I feel him nudge me and turn, his grin widens, and I laugh. Somehow, Ashton settles my nerves, his childish nature and jokes help me relax. I feel his mouth kissing down my neck, his words taunting me. Standing, I slip down my underwear and straddle him. His eyes widen and I laugh.“Cutie pie.”Leaning forward I lick his lips, my hands lifting my top and throwing it. As I lower myself on his cock he groans, grasping my hips and moving me so I grind against him. My moans begin to get louder, and his hand clamps over my mouth.It gives me the freedom I need, I begin to work my hips against him, watching his head fall back as he groans and enjoys me riding him. My body shakes and feels like electricity is shooting through it as someone grasps my hair, pulling my head back.Whimpering I look up and see Emmett.
RavenI face Aileen, my fingers tapping on the arm of the chair."I assumed it would be the brothers coming." She doesn't falter but I can see the worry in her eyes."Things changed. Just because they do not like hurting women, and look at creative ways to ensure rules are followed does not mean they are weak and can be ignored." I stop for a moment. "Me however, I have no issues with hurting women, and considering you ignored them, and mocked their attempts to solve the issue I figured I would help."I don't like her. Not just because she uses the fact they won't hurt her as a way to get away with shit, but she in general isn't a nice woman."So you plan to hurt me and get me to agree?" She laughs and sits back."I plan to see if you will listen, then go from there. They have tried Aileen, but your attitude has become worse. This is the fourth month of no payment."She sits quietly and I watch her, not moving. I know she expected me to come in with people, but I didn't. If I did she
RavenI wake up hearing a bang and shouting. My eyes adjust to the darkness."All of them! Every fucking one is dead tonight." I stand hearing Grayson. Walking out, I see him going through his cupboard and grabbing guns."Grayson?""Go to bed Doll."My head shakes, why is he covered in blood?"I will burn it down with them in, I swear." He has the phone to his ear. Something happened."Go to bed." He shouts looking at me, and I glance around, looking towards the living room I see Emmett pacing. His eyes meet mine and I walk to him, his hands stopping me."What happened?""Nothing to concern yourself with tonight, go to bed." He kisses my cheek."No!" I glance down seeing the blood. "Emmett!""Now! If you get in my way, you’re starting the war." I turn hearing Grayson shout and walk out of his room, Emmett chasing after him."Grayson, think.""Fuck thinking, stay with him, Emmett." I watch him walk out and Emmett chasing him while telling him to stop. Turning I walk into the living and
RavenI can't believe I am eight months pregnant. For a while, I worked at the club, and it felt amazing. Slowly, I noticed Grayson talking to some of the guys there. He did what I did, ran and hid, so me opening the club and hiring those dancers that Ruth used meant Grayson couldn't hide anymore. I sat and watched him talk to them, something he admitted he didn't do after he left.Many are grateful for the escape from Ruth. Over the months working I learnt a lot from the men. Ruth didn't just use them and lure them in as children. She continued it in their adulthood as well.They had told her their deepest darkest secrets and she held it over them. So it was nice to see them finally free of that, I expected most to refuse the job, but many of them do enjoy it and are grateful to have a safe place to dance.It's been crazy, Grayson struggled to give me space, more through fear, but the city has learnt women are not weaknesses. Hawk and Doc I guess helped there, everyone knows that it
RavenI fall back onto Ashton hearing him laugh.“Don’t be a dick.” My words are quiet.“I can give you one if you wish?” Groaning my head shakes. “We warned you, Grayson hates being woken up.” He laughs and sits up carrying me to shower he holds me against him.“You’re all mean.” He laughs and looks at me.“Why Cutie pie? If I agree, I will make it up to you.” He looks at me waiting.“Well, I didn’t do anything wrong.” He looks at me amused. “Okay, I wanted to taunt and play and none of you saved me from the other.”“Why would I save you from them when you taunted me as well?” He looks at me amused.“Fine, Grayson cheated, I knew he had limited time and couldn’t go to the room. I never expected that though.” My head rests against him.“Don’t you like squirting?” I nod my head and he laughs. “Then why are you complaining as of yet there hasn’t been a complaint Cutie Pie.”“I feel like I lost, I don’t know what, but I feel like I lost.” He nods and pulls me closer.“You won, we fucked
RavenWaking, I am still in Ashton’s arms, my eyes notice the box next to the bed and I smile.“Morning Cutie pie.” His hand grips my ass.“Happy birthday.” He freezes. “You failed at hiding it, they told me.” I smile at him.“Wasn’t trying to hide it.” I laugh at his words. Moving, I roll over so I’m straddling him. “Although, I’m already loving this birthday.” His eyes go to my chest, and he grips my hips. Leaning over I pick up the box and feel his teeth biting my nipple.“Stop!” Laughing I pull back.“Well don’t shove them in my face then!” He laughs.“I’m getting something, tell your mouth to behave.” Leaning over I grab the box his hands grasping my breasts.“You said nothing about hands behaving.”Laughing I nod and kiss him. His hands slide across my back before grabbing my ass.“You’re an ass kind of guy, right?” He seems obsessed with it. He nods laughing. “Well, happy birthday.” I hold out the box and he looks at it suspiciously.“I’m weird, and don’t do normal. So I though
RavenI watch Grayson walk away, Emmett kisses me and leaves. I stand and look at Ashton, I can see it, that look is back. I didn't even think, I should have thought. Walking to him I wrap my arms around his neck. "I'm sorry.""It's fine, cutie pie. Did you eat at all today?" He looks at me and I shake my head."Just breakfast." He pulls me into the kitchen and together we cook. I feel awful, I didn't even think. I just wanted to do it alone, and I knew Grayson wouldn't let me. Not that I can blame him, with how crazy I have been lately. After eating I pull Ashton to my room.Stripping, I walk to the bed and he stops me."Shower, you smell of smoke." Kissing me he turns me to the bathroom."Join me?" He stands debating it. "I've been alone all day Ashton." I watch him stand and walk to me, before pulling me into the shower. My head rests against his chest as the water flows over us."I won't ever leave Ashton." I peer up at him. "I promise, I will never leave you." His arms tighten ar
GraysonI disagreed with her going alone. This isn't like she is going to see Ava, it's her mother's funeral. Yet the tone of Ashton's voice reminded me that I asked them to warn me.So I took it and left, even if I didn't think it was right for her to go alone. Part of me wants to leave and go there, but the thought of our mother beating me stops me. I know she is right, I ignored her warnings and made things worse. I honestly thought unpacking would be a good thing. Clearly, I was wrong."Hey." Turning I look at Emmett. "Big bear is here." I forgot about that."Deal with Emmett.""No, we deal with it. Don't go back to the person who gives orders Grayson or I will walk out and ignore everything you say." He stands looking annoyed."Fine." Standing I walk out, stopping I sit down and look at him."You said you wanted me to bring things here Grayson." He looks at me worried."It's fine, just not a good day that's all. Hand it here." I watch as he holds out the papers, glancing through
RavenI wake alone, but don't get out of bed. Staying laid down I consider everything. I don't know what was wrong with me yesterday. I want to put it down to being pregnant, but I know that's wrong. I shouldn't have felt alone but I did, despite them being right there."Good morning beautiful." I smile hearing Emmett and watch as he climbs on the bed, kissing me he places the tray down. His mouth presses a gentle kiss on my stomach. "Morning little one." I stare at him and laugh."Food, talk, then you get ready for today." He grins and sits back and I watch Grayson and Ashton walk in and sit down."Fine with me.""Okay, first you have the doctor today. Just to check on you." Grayson states and I nod."That's good as I need the implant removing." He nods and glances around."Raven, today is your mothers funeral." Ashton looks at me. "It is your choice what you do, it's at eleven," Ashton explains."We will be with you regardless Raven. If you want to go we will be there for you." Gray
AshtonI hear the door open. Sitting we don't talk, I want to go check on her though, which defies the whole point of her having space."Grayson Blake Caddel!" I smirk hearing our mum."It wasn't me!" He jumps up and I laugh."What did I say less than twenty-four hours ago?" She stands looking at him. Hell, she is more pissed off with him than she was me.He stands trying to look confused and shrugs his shoulders."I'm not blind, you know, so come on what did I say?""You told me not to force her to unpack the case." His words are quiet. Wait, I look at him, I thought Mum knew. He said she agreed."Grayson!" I stand up shocked."I thought it would fucking help! I'm sorry, I thought her unpacking would make her accept this is her home and relax.""You messaged and said Mum agreed it would help!""No, I told him it would be worse. That was her final safety net. Why ask for advice Grayson if you do the damn opposite?" She looks at him annoyed.I'm just glad it isn't me today. It's rare
