Hell's Fire MC: The Full Series
Page 39
“I’m a big boy—I think I can handle it. Besides, I like holdin’ you. Lay with me.” It wasn’t a question. Ev climbs out of my lap and into the bed before I lay down next to her. I drag her head over to my chest, exactly where I like her to be.
“I don’t want to hurt you.” She tries to pull away, but I hold her in place.
“You could never hurt me.” I run my hand through her hair, inhaling the sweet scent of her. My head is whirling, but with Everleigh in my arms, I feel at peace.
“I was so scared, Dragon. I was afraid that I’d never see you again.” Wetness follows her words as tears drip onto my chest.
“You can’t get rid of me that easily.” Chuckling, she sighs against me.
“I never want to get rid of you. I thought I was insane for even thinking about staying with you. It’s so fast. But when I thought about leaving, I couldn’t breathe. You made sense to me then. The way you hold me—touch me.” I let out a breath knowing exactly how she feels. I feel the same way about her.
“It was fast. Way faster than it should have been, but I don’t want you to go anywhere. We can learn more about each other, Ev. Don’t ever think about leavin’ me again.” Her little laugh is all I want to hear.
I know she has her doubts, and in my right mind, I do, too. That’s called life. That’s part of living.
We have to have doubts, or we’ll never see what’s right.
One thing I have no doubts about is, what I feel for her.
***
Hot wet kisses wake me up from a nice fucking dream. A dream that I had Ev bent over the chair, fucking her senseless. The way my body quivers, though, I know I’m awake now. I pry my eyes open, gazing down at her dark hair as it hangs around her face. Her lips don’t stop; they keep moving lower. Her fingers wrap around my dick, and I’m lost in her touch.
“Havin’ a good time?” Her eyes shoot to mine. The sparkle I see in them is mesmerizing.
She mumbles under her breath before lowering her head. Capturing my dick between those soft lips, I groan.
“Ev.” Growling her name, it’s more of a warning.
She doesn’t care, though. She sucks me into her mouth like she has never tasted me before. Her tongue works to touch every part of me. Adding a little pressure on the underside of my dick, I can’t stop it from twitching in her mouth. Everleigh gives me a growl of approval as she sucks me harder. My hand finds its way into her hair, twisting it around my fist. There is nothing better than watching your girl, with your dick in between those luscious lips. The deeper she takes me, the harder it is for me to control myself. Ev sends me to places I never knew when she’s like this. Her head bobs, my dick screams for release, but not yet.
I want more of her.
I want so much more of her.
Jerking her head off my dick, it releases with a pop. Her eyes dance with lust as she licks at her mouth.
“Ride me.” She looks at me strangely when it occurs to me. He probably never let her do it.
“Come here.” Ev climbs up my body, straddling my hips. I grab my dick and shift her into position.
“Take whatever you want from me. Make yourself cum, Ev.” Her cheeks redden as I guide her down my shaft.
Her mouth parts making the perfect “o” shape. Fuck, she is too beautiful. Her nails claw at my chest as she finds her rhythm. I try not to intervene, wanting her to lose herself. Her hips rock, tilting, shifting. Her pussy clenches me like she never wants to let me go. The sting from her scratches is a welcomed burn.
“Yeah, darlin’. Just like that.” Slapping my hand on her ass, she yelps and speeds up. The way she’s taking me, I might let her be in control all the time. I bottom out inside of her. Her moans and screams wrap themselves around my heart. The harder she rides me, the tighter she clenches.
“Fuck, Ev!” My hands grip her hips wanting to be as deep as possible when I fill her full of me.
I push her down as she rides me faster. I can feel it building, and when she clenches one last time, we both go over the edge. Hitting her so deeply feels amazing. Everleigh dropped to my chest out of breath and worn out. My hands trail up and down her back as we lie there connected. My dick jerks a few more times inside of her, each time she tightens around me again. We lay in silence catching our breath.
“You know I’m doin’ it tonight. This is the last chance to tell me no.” I’ve had this planned out for weeks now.
Devil got us intel that we needed. We learned that bastards schedule, and now it’s time to make him pay for what he’s done.
“I don’t have anything to say except—I love you.”
Chapter 24
Her words ring over and over in my head. She loves me. It’s the perfect way to start my day.
“We go in. We wait. He comes home around midnight every night. Tonight is his late night. He hits the bar over on Elm for an hour. He’ll be home around one. We’ll already be inside and ready for his ass. Devil’s drivin’ the truck, we’re all in the van. We make it clean. I don’t want any fall back on this club. We go in stealth mode. Devil will dispose of the fuck afterward. Any questions?” Glancing around the table, no one says a word. In fact, they all look as eager to get this fuck as I am. The Blue Sky shit will come later. They have nothing on us.
“Let’s do this.” Everyone stands and heads toward the door when Haylee stops me.
“Dragon, are you, my dad, now?” Haylee looks up at me. My heart leaps in my chest.
I lean down and lift her in my arms.
“Would you like that, if I was?” Her smile tells me all I need to know.
“My other dad didn’t like me. You like me, so yes!” Kissing her cheek, I see Everleigh smiling off to the side.
“Then I guess that’s a yes.” Setting her down, she runs to her mom.
I blow Ev a kiss before heading out the door.
“Dad, huh? How you feel about that?” Ghost slaps a hand on my shoulder as we walk toward the van.
“Fuckin’ amazin’, Ghost. I’ve missed hearin’ those words for so long. Haylee is perfect. Everleigh is everything I want.” Nodding his head, he follows me to the van.
“Then let’s make this shit official!”
Sitting in the house that Everleigh and Haylee used to call home, doesn’t sit right with me. Something inside of me wants to snap and lose it.
“This is fuckin’ awkward.” Leave it to Roc to fill in the blanks.
“Who the fuck you tellin’?” I say chuckling. He nods.
“You love her, don’t you? I can see it all over you.” Stretching my arms out across the back of the couch, I smile.
“Damn right I do. I want this shit over with. I want her with me, and only me. No more of the past bullshit that she’s used to.” They all nod when we hear the car pulling in.
I stay in place as I nod to the guys to take their places. Devil had a friend break in and scouted the fucking house before we ever came here. He knows where the best spots to hide out in the dark are. Aside from us cutting the power lines, he won’t know anything. The door opens and closes. I can hear him bitching about the lights.
“Fucking whore probably never paid the bill.” His words slice through me, and it takes all I have not to go after him. Blowing out a silent breath, I wait. He sets his keys on the table; my eyes are adjusted to the darkness, I can see him. He walks into the living room unaware that I’m even sitting here. What the fuck kind of cop is he, to not feel a presence? Worthless fuck. Clicking on a flashlight, he turns and spots me lounging on his couch. He startles, going for his gun. Devil has him around the throat in seconds; his gun tossed to the side.
“Miss me?”
***
His eyes are wide.
“You won’t get away with this,” he says, as laughter erupts out of me.
“Yes, I will. You know you have a lot of enemies.” He struggles against Devil until the others step out of their places. His eyes jerk around, taking everyone in.
“You son of a bitch.
” Devil tightens his grip, making it nearly impossible for him to breathe when I shove off the couch.
“Thing is, no one will miss you. Your daughter asked me to be her dad. Your wife calls me daddy when I’m fuckin’ her sweet little body. She tastes like heaven.” I can see the anger in his eyes. If he could get out of Devil’s grasp, there would be a fight.
“You aren’t shit! She won’t stay with you after she knows what you did to me.” I smile as I step closer to him.
“My plan was to kill you nice and slow. I wanted to make you feel everything you did to them but then I thought, why? I can’t have your blood all over this house. I want it to look like you left. So, Roc took the liberty of packin’ your shit. You know when Everleigh left you, you just couldn’t bare it anymore.” He grits his teeth, looking as pissed as ever.
“She will hate you!” He roars. Shaking my head, I step closer to him.
“She knows what I’m doin’ here. She practically begged for it.” Whispering closely to his face, I grin.
“Now, let’s get this over with. I want to get home and fuck my girl.” The way his eyes widen sends shivers over my body.
I step around taking Devil’s place. With my hands wrapped around him—I snap his neck like a toothpick. His body drops to the floor as I let out a satisfied breath.
“Don’t worry—he won’t stay in one piece.” Devil chuckles as I turn to face him. His tell-tale look of evil crosses his face. I know he’s wanted this for as long as I have.
“Don’t do nothin’ stupid.”
Chapter 25
One year later
Lying here in the sun is perfect. The Blue Sky was handled, and now we are back to running business as usual.
“We must have super sperm.” Ghost laughs as Devil walks over.
“What the fuck you say that for?” Tilting my head, I look at him funny.
“Look at all these little Hell’s Fires’ we’re producin’ around here.” Nodding at my son lying on my chest, I chuckle.
“You might be right.” Devil nods before taking off after his own little one. We have turned this club into a baby making station. How the fuck could we not, with all these women looking sexy as fuck all the time?
“Don’t get any ideas for more. I think two is plenty.” Popping my eyes open, Ev smiles down at me.
“Bullshit. When he’s one, we’re goin’ again,” I say. Shaking her head, she slides onto the lounger next to me, wrapping her arm around the both of us.
“I don’t think so. Six, maybe.” Laughing, I shake my head.
“What’s my brother doing?” Haylee sits on the other side of the lounger.
“Sleepin’. He’s lazy.” Haylee laughs before laying on the other side.
“Dad, he’s not lazy. He’s a baby.” My heart swells with contentment. This is what I’ve always wanted out of my life. Having Everleigh and Haylee just cements me on this earth. My family has always been strange. We were never an ordinary family. I miss aspects of that. This club has been a solid foundation for me, though. Now I have my girl, and kids that I love, with everything I am.
“Are you happy?” Nudging, Everleigh, she lifts her head to look at me.
“I don’t think I could be any happier than I am right now.” Pressing a kiss to my lips, Haylee chimes in.
“Ewww. That’s gross!” I laugh. What else can I do?
“Get over here and give me one.” Haylee giggles before climbing up and kissing my cheek.
“You three are my world. I love you.”
***
Watching my world as they sleep, is the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had. I never knew that I could feel this sort of contentment, but here it is. It’s the best feeling in the world. A part of me misses Emily, though. I know what I have in Ev and Haylee, but Emily was mine, too. I don’t know that you ever heal from something like that. The loss of a child is devastating. I never really got over losing her. I miss her every day but seeing the joy in Haylee’s eyes helps. She may not be mine by blood, but she is mine in every sense of the word.
Killing Luke gave me great joy. I sometimes wonder what that will do to Haylee when she’s older, and wonders about it. She realizes that her dad isn’t around anymore but when will the questions start? She hasn’t said much about him, and for that I’m grateful. I don’t know that I could give her an answer right now if I had to. I run my hand through my hair as I let that all sink in. I’m not sure that I can handle the truth of what I’ve done. At least not when it comes to her.
She’s so smart, though that I don’t doubt as the years go on that she will have questions, and she’ll start to figure out what it is we do around here. As much as I’d like to keep that part of the world away from her, the truth is, I just drag her in deeper. Everleigh understands. She knows what I am, and she loves me regardless.
I can’t say that I’m proud of bringing any of them into this life, but I know in my heart that I could never let them go. That just isn’t an option.
Chapter 26
“Doin’ ok, Dragon?” Ghost says as he passes me a beer. I ponder everything about my life. The good, the bad, all of it.
“I don’t know, Ghost. I’ve just been thinkin’ about everything.” His smile falls as if he understands what I mean.
“Which part?” He asks. Taking a long pull from my bottle, I shift in my seat to look at him.
“Haylee. What I did to Luke. I just don’t know how long it will be until she starts askin’ questions. I can’t give her the answers that she’s gonna want, brother,” I say, and Ghost nods his understanding.
“Don’t tell her. Tell her he took off. She doesn't need to know that motherfucker is in six pieces, sunk to the bottom of the ocean.” I can’t help but laugh at him. I knew Devil wouldn’t leave him to be found.
“Guess you’re right. How you feelin’ bein’ a dad?” Watching the way his face lights up, I know he loves it.
I’ve watched him grow into a good man, a great father.
“I’m lovin’ it, man. I never knew I could love somethin’ the way I love them. It’s a weird feelin’, though. I never thought I’d want kids, Dragon. Now I don’t know what I’d do without them.” Nodding, I do have to agree.
“They are great, man. I wanted to run somethin’ by you, though.” My tone changes, taking on a serious tone. This is something that I’ve been contemplating for a while now.
“What is it?” He asks. I have his attention now, but the words are lodged in my throat. I don’t know how to spit this shit out.
“It’s actually two things. First, I want to take Ev and the kids out to meet my mom.” Ghost’s mouth falls open. I can see the shock all over it.
“Your mom, huh? Been awhile since you talked to her, hasn’t it?” I nod because yeah, it has been a long while.
“I think things need to change. She has grandkids again. I know shit was bad when Emily died. We fought long and hard.” Ghost watches me waiting for me to say more.
“They blamed me for not havin’ her buckled. They blamed me for the fight we had before she left. Hell, I blame me,” I admit. Ghost slaps a hand on my shoulder before shaking his head.
“You ain’t to blame, brother. Bad shit happens all the time. We all know how that is. If you want to make up with your mom, I say go for it, but if you think she’s gonna give you more grief than you deserve, don’t fuckin’ go. You have made yourself better and put a new look on your life, don’t let her take that from you.”
“She can’t take his life unless she kills him. That would do it.” Both of us turn at the same time to see Trick standing there with a grin on his face.
“Why the hell is he here?” Ghost laughs next to me, but Trick seems confused.
“Oh, I live here.” Trick turns and walks away.
Ghost and I share a look before I shake my head.
“You think that fucker's been hit too many times?” There is clearly something wrong with that kid.
“There is sometin' wrong. Really thou
gh, think it over before you all just go out there. What else you thinkin’?” Here’s the tough one.
“I want to marry Everleigh.”
Ghost damn near jumps off the couch when the words leave my mouth.
“Jesus fuckin’ Christ, Dragon! You just offed her first husband, brother! You think she’s ready for that?” I know he’s saying it in good humor, but it still throws a wrench into my plan.
“I can’t lose her, Ghost. That shit isn’t happenin’. I want her to be mine in every sense of the word,” I tell him. He blows out a breath before scrubbing his hand over his face. It’s a little amusing to watch.
“I get that. I want Nessa too, but don’t you think you’re rushin’ shit?” I shrug because honestly, I don’t know if I am.
“Maybe, I don’t know. I just know that I need her to be mine, Ghost. Nothin’ else makes sense to me. Ev is everything—I need her.” Ghost drops back down next to me.
“I get that, Dragon, I do. She means a lot to you, but don’t rush her. I know you can handle shit, but you don’t want to push her too hard, too fast.” That does make sense, but that does little to settle what I feel inside. We’ve been together for over a year. As much as I like to think she’s settled into life with me, I still hear the cries at night. I don’t miss the sniffles in the bathroom, or the bad dreams that haunt her at night.
“You’re right, man. I don’t want her to flip her shit. I do want to talk to my mom, though. I think it would be nice for the kids to have their grandma. We can’t all say that shit, they ain’t around anymore.” Ghost nods, blowing out another breath. I know he’s relieved, but that isn’t stopping me. It may take a little longer than I originally thought, but I will marry that girl.
***
I hold the phone in my hand, staring at it like it might call for me. I know I need just to bite the bullet and go for it, but there is still that little piece of uneasiness inside of me. I’m nervous as fuck to hear what she might say after all this time. I’m finally happy and at a good place in my life, and to hear those words, the blame, the hate, all over again? It might just rip me apart.
