“Where are all the kids at?” I ask looking at all of them.
“You won’t believe this! The guys have them all up in the room. Tank called this morning and said he needed a nap day. So, the guys have a nap day planned,” Vegas laughs. “That doesn’t sound bad, though, because we never sleep anymore.”
“They even have Cash with them. It’s all bikers and babies,” Dana chuckles. “That must be the cutest sight.”
I laugh and glance at Tami. She doesn’t hear Dana, and her forlorn look tells me she is off in another world. Time, she needs a little more time and she’ll come around.
After lunch, we get deep tissue massages that are heaven on this earth. I am so relaxed that I don’t even notice the clothing rack they wheeled in which is filled with white dresses at first.
My hands grip the robe at my chest even tighter, “What is going on here?”
Harley’s eyes glitter with mischief. “Your wedding is tonight. We are going to pick you a beautiful dress.”
“That sneaky— I can’t even cuss here! He took me to the one place on earth where I can’t shoot him. I told him that I didn’t want a wedding.”
Jenn’s evil eyes look at me. “Maybe he knew deep down that you did,” she points a finger at my chest, “and made you get out of your head to make it happen in the most magical kingdom on earth. Go with it and get a dress on, time’s a-wastin’.”
Slowly, I get up from the couch and tiptoe over to the rack, then look through them all before one in particular sticks out to me. It’s a long, silky ivory dress that has a deep V in the front. It’s not the typical wedding dress, but it is beautiful.
With the spaghetti straps, it is quickly altered in a few places. It’s amazing what money can buy, and, within hours, I’m ready. The girls all found similar dresses to the one I had picked, even down to the ivory heels.
My hair and makeup are professionally done. The hairdresser wraps my long black hair up into a classic updo, the makeup artist gives me a smoky eye with a light cat eye liner. I’ve never felt more gorgeous, and I know it is because of Tank’s love.
They know where we are going and lead me to a lit garden that’s on the hotel grounds. It’s dark outside and there are white lights strung up everywhere. The scent of the flowers fills the air.
Blade is standing by the walkway and takes my arm. “Can I walk you down the aisle?” His gruff nature is put away for the night.
“Yes, thank you.” Vegas, Jenn, Dana and Tami walk past us.
When he turns, the view opens, and Tank is standing there in an all-black tux under an arch covered in white flowers. It’s elegant in all black and white. Timeless and romantic. My heart skips in my chest when Blade takes a step toward him. Spider, Axl and Saint stand to his left. Opposite them stand Tami, Dana, Jenn, and then Vegas at the end to where I will be standing.
I follow Blade’s lead because I can’t take my eyes off Tank. His hair has been trimmed and styled. He even had his beard trimmed and it looks sharp. A photographer stands off to the side and I notice the first picture being taken, but once I reach Tank and our hands meet, I lose sight of my surroundings and the outside world blurs, leaving only us.
An elderly man officiates the ceremony, holding a Bible. “Do you, Emily Scott, take Lucas Taylor to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness or in health, until death do you part?”
“Yes, I do.” Tami hands me a thick gold band to place on Tank’s finger.
“Do you, Lucas Taylor, take Emily Scott to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness or in health, until death do you part?”
“Yes, I take her to be my lawfully wife, Emily Scott,” Tank’s eyes smile, “Until death do us part…” and he bites his lip to keep from ruining the whole ceremony. My eyes squint because, if looks could kill, they would, but they say, Don’t you dare. He wants to laugh at the lawfully marrying me, Emily Scott, until the death part, or both. Probably both.
He slides a thin gold band on my ring finger and squeezes my hand.
“You may now kiss your bride.”
Tank tugs me to him and dips me backward, “Forever the light in my life.”
Chapter 35
Tank
“Kat, get up, it’s time to hit the road.” My palm runs down her side and to the back. Her skin feels like silk to the touch. I reach her ass and give it a soft squeeze. She moans lightly and lifts her leg to wrap it over mine, exposing her pussy to me.
In the early morning rays, on the day after we got married, she is still hungry for more. My fingertips caress her clit soft and slow, waking her mind up as well as her body. I need and crave her lust as much as I need my next breath. Dipping my fingers inside her cunt, I bring them back up to her clit, caressing her.
“Fuck, Tank, after all last night, I didn’t think you could get me there again so soon,” she moans when I nip and kiss her neck down to her shoulder.
“I want to feel you come on my cock all the time.” Pushing my pelvis forward, I enter her wet, hot pussy, and this time I’m the one moaning as I rock back and forth slowly. I can’t stop myself from the abys she pulls me into every time she is close. “I want to wrap you up and call you mine forever. I’ll never let you forget it.”
Kat’s hand comes up and snakes around my head. Her nails scrape my skin on their journey. She turns her body over, opening herself more to me. She makes me feel wanted and needed just by doing that. Kat always finds ways to show me her love.
She’s close and her chest heaves. “I will fall apart without you.” She untangles herself from me and forces me on my back with a light touch to my chest. I roll over and let her take control. Kat straddles me and takes me slowly into her. Her head falls back and her long black hair cascades down, reaching my legs while she rocks her body up and down.
My hands glide up her thighs to her tits, cupping them. She picks up her pace and my dick reacts to her aggressivity, my balls drawing up. “Rub your pussy for me, baby.”
Kat reaches down and circles her clit with fast strokes. She’s ready and needs so much more. My hands grip her waist and I pound her as hard as she can take from below her.
Her head flies back again as she releases her orgasm for me. I go off with my wife and hold her to me, coming inside my woman. She rocks her hips just how I need it, allowing me to come down with her.
Kat leans forward and takes my face in her hands, fucking my mouth with her tongue. “Love you,” she rasps against my lips.
My hands squeeze her ass. “Kat, there is nowhere else I want to be but right here with you, fighting for you and our family forever. I love you.”
She grinds against me again, wanting more of me. My chest is full of emotion. Kat learned that I would always love her and never hurt her. Every touch between us means something. Every time we are like this together, it’s our safe place. This is how we share our love and always will.
“K-Love, I would love nothing more than to fuck you dirty and hard right now, but I have other plans for today. We have to hit the road,” I playfully smack her ass. “Get up! It’s time to shower and pack a riding bag.”
Kat goes along with it, and I fucking love it so hard, because that makes me happy to surprise her. After our shower, Axl shows up to take Eli from us. That is, after Kat is done kissing every inch of his face.
“Bye, lil’ E, be a stud. We’ll be home soon.” He waves back and says Bye, daddy and my heart explodes in my chest. My fist raises and he gives me his knuckles. “You are the king, kid.”
Axl’s eyes squint, “Let’s not fight about that in front of the kid. C’mon, dude, we have to get a few things straight. On our ride back.” This time, Kat squints and places her hands on her hips, looking like she’s about to say something, but ends up laughing instead and dropping it for now.
On his way out, Axl tosses my bike keys and I toss him the Suburban keys. He’ll come by later and load our stuff, and a prospect will drive it all back to Reno for us.
Kat and I grab out bags and begin our hon
eymoon. Hand in hand, we find my bike in the parking lot garage, and I hold my hand for her to sit behind me. She slides in close and wraps her arms around my body. Looking down, I see the diamond on her ring finger sparkling in the sun. She is home, right where she is supposed to be, at my side. I have it all.
I could have taken Kat anywhere in the world. But, right now, her world is Eli, so a ride up the Coast for a few days, sightseeing the beaches, was the best idea.
I rev the engine up and we start the first day of the rest of our lives as a family, wrapped up completely in our love. We coast up the scenic highway of California and stop every day in random places. Wherever she wants to go, I let her navigate.
The only thing I wanted to see was my wife in her Mickey Mouse bikini at the beach every day, and I got that and more. Never again will I doubt the journey and obstacles in front of me. I’ll always trust the path and know that the road ahead of me was given to me for a reason.
Never stop fighting for what is right or believing that you deserve more.
Be brave and be Battle Born.
Fighting for forever.
THE END
Bonus Scene
Tank
Kat struggles at first to slide out of the car. She loves her Tesla. I’ve been trying to convince her to get a bigger vehicle due to our growing family. She’s holding on to the bitter end.
I quickly hop out of the driver’s side and run around to give her a hand and pull her up to me. My hand comes down and rubs her belly.
“How’s my girls?”
“We don’t know that the baby is a girl, Tank.” She’s cranky, too, from the heat and being pregnant and miserable all summer.
Kissing her forehead, I whisper, “I know, K-Love. Only a woman can drive a person this mad.” She pushes me back and I laugh at her.
She opens the back door and helps Eli out for his first day of kindergarten, then places a backpack on his shoulders. Her hand goes to touch his head and mine snaps out to stop her. “Woman, we spent a lot of time on that mohawk for the ladies. He needs to look like a badass. Leave the boy be.”
I squat down next to Eli and face us toward the school. “Take our picture?” Together we pose for a few funny pics, then I pick Eli up and pull Kat to us for a selfie before we walk him inside.
“Look tough, E, until you know who the players in the room are, and then make your friends. This is an important step. You have your whole school career ahead of you. And today is day one. Set yourself up right today, you got me?”
“Got you, big T! I got this!” Eli’s eyes get hard and he walks into the room with swagger. He nods at his teacher and tosses his bag into a cubby like he owns it. Before the door shuts, he turns around and pumps his fist, then struts over to his assigned desk.
Kat covers her mouth and starts talking through her laughter, “How many times have you practiced that, Tank? That was not my baby in there.”
I raise a brow, “That was not a baby, that was a little dude learning to be a big dude. This is my business, woman. You don’t become like this,” I point up and down my body with one finger, “Without some practice. And I’ll never tell what we do. That’s man business. Know your role, momma.”
“You’re fucking kidding me, right?” Kat’s voice drops low as we walk out. Another mother hears it and glares at her words as she pushes her daughter to walk faster and away from us. Kat’s about to tell the mom off, I can tell, so I push her away as fast as possible, too. She is a damn time bomb filled with aggression. Hot, hot lil’ momma.
“Let’s go get some frozen yogurt?” I prompt.
“Stop trying to save people from me!” she stomps to the car. “I’m not going to kill anyone.”
“Calm down, Kitty Kat. I can’t spank your ass, so calm down.”
Kat glares at me from the other side of the car. “If you think that by telling me,” every word she says gets a little louder than the last, “To calm the hell dow—” She bends forward and holds her stomach. “Ouch, fuck me.”
I run to meet her on the other side of her car. “Are you okay?” I ask, rubbing her back.
“Oh shit, my water broke.” She looks up at me with teary eyes. “It’s time?”
“Yeah, K-Love, let’s take you and Blake to the hospital.”
She takes in a deep breath through her nose and then exhales slowly through her mouth. “I thought you said it was a girl.”
“The B’s of life, babe. Now get your leaking ass into the car.” She glares at me while I laugh at her as I go back on the driver’s side. I feel her eyes like lasers on me the entire time.
“What is so fucking funny, Tank?”
Putting the car into drive, I answer, “We are getting a new SUV now that you got your birthing stuff all over this one.”
Kat’s face is so red, she’s about ready to blow, but, thankfully, a contraction hits her right then. I drive as fast as I can all the way to the hospital. Surprisingly, I’m not pulled over and absently think that no cop would want to deal with this. It’s as if they somehow knew.
The nurses help me to get Kat and our baby girl set up in a private room as soon as we arrive. I called ahead and paid extra for her because she is a demon.
Kat is then stripped down and dressed into a hospital gown. She bites the nurse’s head off for missing her vein when they try to put the IV needle in. The nurse runs out, excusing herself to get Kat some ice chips. But I saw the fear in her eyes. My woman is scary.
I send Tami and Blade a quick text to let them know that Kat is having the baby. Kat’s sniffling surprises me and I walk over to her. “What’s wrong, K-Love?”
“I’m scared, Tank.” She sniffles again.
“Because you have to shoot a baby out of that vagina, girl? You got this, just like Eli does. Be brave, little momma.”
“Tank, have you seen the size of your head?!”
I try, and fail, to hold back the grin that creeps over my face, then the all teeth smile that takes complete control. “Kat, it’s a girl. She’ll have your head. What are you so worried about?”
Another contraction hits her hard followed by several more for the next hour. The doctor finally comes in and pales, getting his staff ready for delivery. Tami comes barreling around the corner and is at Kat’s side in seconds, holding her hand. “We are having a baby today!” she exclaims.
The doctor’s eyes bug out in confusion and I’m not too humble to let him think that they are my lesbian wives. Yep, not too humble at all.
Tami and I hold Kat’s hands as she screams bloody murder from having a natural childbirth. First, the head comes out and I am fascinated by what my wife can do. I help her as best as I can, holding her leg up to her chest as she pushes our baby out. Just like Kat, she screams. Yep, she screams when the doctor has her in his hands and rests her on my K-Love’s chest.
“Hey, baby Blake Maria Taylor.”
Kat’s lower lip quivers, “I love that name.”
“Your mom is a part of her, too.” My hand runs over the baby’s tiny body which is just a tad bigger than my hand.
The nurse takes Blake from Kat to finish cleaning her and the doctor gives her an exam before I give her a bath. “Kat, I gave Blake her first bath.”
“Idiot, they’re all yours. Congratulations.”
We settle in after that and Kat falls asleep exhausted when Eli comes in with Blade and Vegas, his godparents. Eli washes his hands and walks over to give his sister an adoring kiss.
“She’s your responsibility, too. You have to take care of her and protect her for the rest of your life, lil’ E.” He points at his chest. “Yep, Blake is your ‘little’ now.”
Family is team building, and nothing on this earth could make me happier than Kat and our babies. The B’s of life…
What’s coming next?

To the readers
Holy shit we made it to the end! I didn’t know that I would love Tank as much as I do. When I started his character, way back in book one, I had no idea who I would end up with. A man as deep as the ocean. He’s funny, loyal, brave and so loving. Real. I fell in love with him more and more with every word. He really is my favorite male character. He snuck up on me and caught me without me even realizing it, lol, kind of like what he did to Kat too.
Katherine, the Black Widow to Kat or K-love and also known as Kit Kat or Kitty Kat, she evolved the most out of my girls. At least I thought so. She came from an abusive life and Tank taught her to love because she was open to change and ultimately evolved into the woman, I think she always wanted to be, her mother. Or a mother and as close as she could. I love her hard exterior but has a brave and loyal heart underneath. I love her very much too.
Every book, I put my whole heart into every word. By the end I feel so much. So happy that I could cry because I made it. So sad because it is over, and I am going to miss the friends I just wrote about. Just drained from expressing every emotion possible from anger to laughing and everything in between. I write in hopes that I give you a book that you will hopefully enjoy and touch your heart and mind.
