“Motherfucker,” I growl.
“Bark, Crane, outside. Titan, take three others to go around back. No fucking sound. Shoot the fucker in the legs if he tries to get away,” Ronin snaps and palms his gun. “Come on, Gust, you need to get out there in the yard. Fuuuuck.”
His curse draws my eyes back to the screen. “Hell, no,” I snap and move as fast as my legs will carry me.
I barge through the door and in three steps I have my woman behind my back and my gun pointing right at the fucker I haven’t seen in nine damn years.
“Get the fuck away from her,” I growl.
The fucker doesn’t have his gun pointed at me, he’s got it placed under his chin. “No need to point your gun at me, old friend. I came to say goodbye.”
“What the fuck, you selfish prick? Say goodbye, and blow your damn brains out in front of her face?” My blood pressure skyrockets at the thought of this idiot giving my woman another visual she doesn’t need. “She doesn’t care for a fucking goodbye,” I seethe. “What she needs is the fucking bullseye off her back you fucking put there when you screwed up. Make your death count and face your damn sins for a change.”
“That’s the whole damn reason I called you. You took care of her and got to her in time,” Keegan snaps back. “I knew you’d be the only one who could take her from those two and keep her safe.”
Wait… “How the fuck did you know I got there in time? Shit. You were out there? Doing fucking nothing and just fucking watching? They were about to fucking rape her when we kicked in the door,” I spit my words at the fucker who doesn’t deserve to take another breath.
“Calm down,” Paisley whispers, her arms go around my waist as she presses herself against me, “he’s not worth it.”
Keegan eyes us and a slight smile appears on his cold as hell appearance. “Just tell me this, brother…you gonna do right by her?”
“Not your damn brother. And she’s my fucking Old Lady, I’d give up my last damn breath to do right by her,” I state and watch his finger twitch on the damn trigger.
I can see it in his eyes, the moment he decides it’s time to leave this fucking world. I spin around to bury Paisley’s face into my chest. No fucking way am I going to let her witness this shit.
A shot rings out. Stumbling. Curses. Keegan’s bellow makes me glance over my shoulder to see Crane and Bark holding on to Keegan who’s facing the ground. Bark twists Keegan’s arms to his back and puts a zip tie around his wrists. I can’t even manage to look at this asshole anymore.
“Come on, let’s get you inside,” I tell her and I face my Prez who’s still aiming his gun at Keegan.
His eyes lock with mine and I give him a nod in appreciation. Ronin is about to step aside when we hear Badger bellow from inside, “Incoming!”
“Get her inside, and into the panic room,” Ronin snaps, and I follow him inside the clubhouse.
I want to go with my brothers and face whatever it is that’s coming at us, but Ronin is right. My first—and only—priority now is Paisley. Ronin runs forward while I drag Paisley behind me inside a small room, closing the solid steel door behind us, automatically turning on the lights above us.
“What’s happening?” Paisley squeaks.
“Don’t know,” I absently reply and glance at my phone to check the time.
I need to have some idea of how long we’re in here to maintain my sanity. Fuck. I reach out and hug her close. I need it. The feel of her in my arms, her scent, it’s pushing down my stress level. I see a light flash above the door. It’s a system we put in there to let the ones inside know it’s clear to come out.
I open the door and see Titan. “It’s all clear, but you might wanna leave her here or take her to the new room you picked for yourself.”
“Why?” I snap, aggravated at the half-ass information he’s giving me.
He eyes my Old Lady who’s standing behind me.
I reach out and tug her underneath my arm. “I don’t have any secrets from her, tell us what’s going on.”
“They returned the prospect.” Titan keeps his eyes on me and only gives a tiny shake with his head.
Fuck. Pretty sure this means he’s dead. Paisley moves so damn fast, she even manages to dodge Titan who reaches out to grab her. We both follow her to the main room where she’s standing in front of two large black duffle bags. One’s open, showing a bloody arm and a cut off foot. I want to drag her away but again, I’m not fast enough when she spins around and launches herself at Keegan.
“Look what you did! It should have been you. I hate you so damn much, I wish you’d never been born. Then mom would still be alive. Dad told me never to come back here, never to go looking for you. He made me fucking swear never to reach out to tell you he died. I wish I was as cold as you, then I would be able to kill you with my bare hands.” Paisley pushes her brother who stumbles back.
I grab her around the waist and pull her against me. Her fucking brother doesn’t fight but the way his eyes glaze over…the fucker is already dead inside. No damn wonder he pulled a gun on himself. He’s done. And besides, it’s not like there’s a way out of this for him. He made his damn bed, time to fucking die in it.
Paisley turns in my arms, grabbing my cut with her tiny fists. “Hit him for me, break his face, break everything. Kill him, he deserves it.” She glances around me and directs her next words at Ronin. “I’d like to hire you guys. I need you to assassinate my brother.”
Ronin raises his eyebrow at me, leaving this fucked-up request in my hands.
“Darlin’,” I sigh. “His clock is already ticking away the last few minutes of his life. As my Old Lady you don’t need to give us the job because it’s club business to handle this shit. You’ll have your wish but we can’t kill him ourselves…we have to hand him over to end this threat…fucking war hanging in the balance if we don’t rectify the shit Keegan dragged all of us in.”
Her eyes narrow. “Then you can at least kick his ass before you hand him over to Ugo, right?”
I glance at my Prez, unsure what to fucking do with my woman’s demand.
The corner of his mouth twitches. Fucker. “I mentioned you claimed one with a mean streak, right? I like her, and she’s right. Just make sure he’s still breathing when you’re done. I’m making the call right now. I don’t want any other blowbacks, we need to,”
“What. The. Hell. Did. You. Do?” Anouk, my Prez’s Old Lady’s voice bellows through the room.
“Oh, fuck,” Ronin grumbles. “Quick, I need a distraction, start kicking Keegan’s ass,” he orders me as he faces his woman.
Don’t have to tell me fucking twice. I step around Paisley as I hear Ronin start to explain to the Old Ladies who came home early from their short vacation. Fucked up timing, they couldn’t just stay away one more day. Though it doesn’t matter, this all ends today.
My fingers wrap around Keegan’s jaw, my nails dig in to keep him straight as my fist connects with his nose. A cracking sound assures me I broke it. Blood starts to pour out. I repeat the action three more times before I let him fall to the ground.
I take the opportunity to give the fucker a few more kicks. He crumbles into a ball and all the fight drains out of me. He’s not even worth the effort of working up a sweat to kick his ass.
I step back and glance at my woman, who’s got her eyes and all the hatred fixed on Keegan. Something I don’t like to see on her face. “Come on, darlin’, I’m done. This is only delaying the inevitable.”
“Yes,” she snaps and tears her gaze away from her brother to land her gaze on mine and what a fucking difference. The hatred I saw does a one eighty and the adoration she hits me with takes my damn breath away.
“I want you to meet the other Old Ladies,” I croak, and guide her toward Anouk, Faya, Jodi, and Goldie. “They’ll keep you company while my brothers and I are going to finish this.”
Her arms go around my neck, hugging me close. “Be careful and come back safe…and fast. But mostly safe.”

“Will do, darlin’,” I vow and leave her in the company of the other Old Ladies while I go grab a backpack filled with stuff I need before taking Keegan and heading out to Helios Darkness MC to end this.
Chapter 10
***Paisley***
Five months. It’s been five months since my new start. Since Gust and I had a new start. After he came home to me from the meeting they had with Helios Darkness MC. From my understanding they delivered Keegan to Ugo, and in return they ended whatever was started when Lost Valkyries MC bumped into Helios Darkness MC.
Though I heard a rumor Gust planted a bomb that took out the garage where they were keeping all of their bikes parked. They couldn’t tie him to the explosion but they all know he did it for some extra payback.
It’s been hard for the guys with the loss of the prospect, the funeral…but it’s also shown me what a strong, warm, and solid family Lost Valkyries MC is. At first, I was skeptical and judged them before I even knew who they really are. All because of my brother and the MC he was a part of. All of it is in the past. I have to leave it there and move forward.
When we had been together three months, Gust asked me to marry him. Though I said yes, we both decided to wait at least six months to tie the knot. Me and him…we seem to do things full speed ahead. Like how he also insisted we start to build a family. I said I would think about it…stop taking the pill. The full speed ahead concept seems to work for us though. I smile at the reminder of the longing look in his eyes to start a family together.
I take a sip from my tea as I watch over the kids of the other Old Ladies. Dammit, I miss having coffee, but it’s a small sacrifice. Not to mention I can’t even stomach it at the moment. I rub my belly and it makes my whole body tingle with awareness of the new life growing inside me. That’s right…I’m pregnant.
I didn’t tell Gust yet. I only found out myself yesterday and I had a doctor’s appointment to double check this morning. Gust had an assignment he needed to take care of and left yesterday morning. He’s supposed to return any minute. I’m sure he’ll come looking for me first thing.
I’m in a room at the clubhouse they’ve turned into a daycare. The club hired me on the spot when they found out I had been a nanny for years and have specialized certifications in childcare. The Old Ladies were ecstatic and so am I. I have a job, get to do what I love, and still be near my Old Man and now also all my new friends; my new family.
“Hey, darlin’,” Gust says as he walks into the room.
Before he gets to me, he has to dodge all the toys and the kids bouncing in front of him so it takes a few minutes before I get my hug and a quick kiss. Way too quick kiss for my liking but there are too many kids in the room to turn it into one to make my toes curl.
I grab my phone and shoot a quick text to Anouk. She told me to let her know when Gust was back if she didn’t see him come in. She went with me to the doctor’s office this morning, so she knows.
“I’m here, I’m here,” Anouk squeals while her kid yells mommy, making her do a U-turn to scoop her up. “Go on, you two, I got this.”
Gust raises his eyebrow. “Don’t you have to work till three?”
“Yes, but Anouk offered to take the rest of my shift because I need to talk to you.” I don’t say anything else but lead him out into the yard.
“Are you okay?” Gust cups my face and traces my bottom lip with his thumb. “You’ve been a little pale the last few days. Maybe you need to rest some more or swing by the doc or something. Maybe one of the kids gave you that bug they’ve been dealing with.”
“Well, the bug I have might take more than a few days to get rid of… more like months and months.”
His forehead scrunches up adorably. I lift myself on my toes and press my lips against his, making sure I get the carefree kiss I wanted a moment ago. His growl rumbles deep in his chest. I can feel his hands on my hips, dragging me closer, making him harden between our bodies.
He pulls away and places his head on my shoulder. “Careful, darlin’, lemme catch my breath or I’ll strip our pants off and fuck you against the wall. Out in the yard or not, cameras on or not, it’s been too damn long since I’ve been inside you.”
“Can I mention I have a tiny piece of you inside me already?” Oh, the look on his face is priceless. “We’re pregnant.”
“Pregnant?”
I take his stunned face in my hands and let him know, “Pregnant. A tiny human we created is growing inside me.”
“Fuck,” he breathes. “That’s…wow…I’m gonna be a daddy?”
“That would be accurate, the baby being yours and all,” I chuckle.
“But we haven’t bought the house yet. I need to raise the bid we brought out yesterday. What if they don’t accept? Fuck.”
Can’t. Laugh. “Relax, I’m not going to pop it out today, tomorrow, or next week. We have months, Gust, months. Breathe.”
“Right. Right. Shit. This is exciting. Almost as exciting as blowing shit up.” The man chuckles.
“Well, I’m sure I’m gonna be big enough to explode in a few months,” I mutter. “So I’m glad you like explosions.”
“Shut up, woman, I fucking love you any damn way you look, and even more when you’re carrying our child. Fuck…our child,” he croaks.
He takes me in his arms and surrounds me with the warmth of not only his body, but with an overload of love that lifts me off my damn feet and makes me float in a thick pink cloud of adoration.
This point in our life is yet again the next step in our future, one where we both move forward and build our own family surrounded by the ones we love. Protected. Support. All of it makes life worth living.
I never thought I would find a home in my hometown. The place where my father met my mother and founded their own family. The place where I found my first love and ended up here years later to spend the rest of our life together.
“I love you,” I whisper against the leather of his cut.
His lips brush over my hair. “Love you right back, darlin’. And I fucking love our tiny as shit baby growing inside you.”
Aw, this man, he’s everything…making my world spin just for me. Well, and for the little one in my belly.
Epilogue
Twenty years later.
***Gust***
Drops of sweat are sliding off my forehead and stinging my eyes as my hips pick up more speed. Fuck. I love watching my cock slide in and out of my Old Lady’s cunt. This ticker of mine might be old but my woman keeps it well trained, making young at heart a damn statement.
I smack one fine ass cheek, making my handprint burn red on her skin. “Push that fine cunt back on my cock if you want to come, darlin’.”
She groans and starts to fuck me back just as fierce. Another smack, and she moans loud enough to make it vibrate through our room here at the clubhouse. A rush of wetness surrounds my cock, making me slide even deeper. I let my finger scoop up some before moving toward her tight ring.
Stroking over it, she gasps, her hair sways as she glances over her shoulder to connect her gaze with mine. Eyes locked I let my finger slide deep inside her ass while my cock keeps pumping her cunt. Fuck. That’s heaven. Placing my other hand between her shoulder blades, I push her deeper into the mattress, making the angle to fuck better for the both of us.
I curl my finger slightly and give more pressure to fill her up while hooking her open, making her come all over my cock. Cunt rippling, my name tumbles from her lips on a moan so loud my guitar hanging on the wall fucking sings with vibration.
I can’t hold back my own orgasm with the way she grips me in waves like a vice. I bellow her name, slide my finger out of her ass to grab her hips and hold her tight. Cum shoots out of my body and into hers and I feel as if my heart isn’t as young as I thought it was because I’m fucking sure it’s gonna give out any damn second.
All energy drained I collapse on top of her but manage to twist us just in time to let the both of us sink into the mattress wh
ile laying on our sides. I need air. Oxygen. Hell, we’re still fucking like teenagers while time hasn’t been standing still. But fuck, I wouldn’t want to change anything. Even if I feel like I’m gonna die from the mind-blowing orgasm I just had.
“I need at least a half hour to recover,” I grumble.
Paisley chuckles in between her rapid breathing. “Same here, but we need to head back soon. Can’t leave the youngsters out there alone for too long.”
“I’m up,” I state and manage to swing my legs off the bed to reach for my jeans.
Now Paisley laughs her fucking lungs out. “They’re all grown up you know.”
“Not twenty-one yet,” I growl.
We have twins. Two gorgeous daughters and with Crane, Ronin, Bark, and Titan having boys…the clubhouse is filled with the next generation, looking for an Old Lady.
“They’re staying virgins until they die,” I simply state.
Paisley grabs her boots and puts them on while eyeing me. “How in the hell are we going to get grandchildren if they can’t have sex?”
“I don’t want to know, and I can’t think about it,” I mutter.
Silence falls as we both finish dressing and head out into the yard. It’s late Friday night and the party is in full swing. Ronin and his Old Lady Anouk are standing near a fire pit, talking to Crane and Faya’s son. Bark and Jodi’s son is talking to Janey, our slightly older daughter, while Janelle is charming Titan and Billie’s son.
My eyes travel over the yard filled with my brothers and their Old Ladies. Titan has his hawk eyes on his son while Bark is doing the same with his son. Seems I’m not the only one with issues about keeping my kids safe. Yet it’s up to them to live their life and make their own choices. Knowing we give them the family, love, and support they need allows them to do so.
Fucking proud to have my Old Lady at my side, beautiful daughters who love us just as fierce. Looking back at the way Paisley and I crossed paths…I know with certainty things in life are destined to be. With this realization I take the beer Titan is holding out for me, hoping—knowing—life will give both my daughters the same options and choices thrown into their path.
