Fosters: Blackhawk

by L. Ann Marie

  He climbs in behind me letting some water out so we don't have to clean the floor. His hands skim my nipples sliding to my pussy. "Yes." I say softly. I lean my head back. "Can I ride you this time?" He growls and spins me around so damn fast I'm a little dizzy. "You like that?"

  "Any way I can get you babe." He says sliding down and lifting me up.

  I hold him as he slides me down onto him. Holy fuck he fills me up making me moan. "That fees so damn good."

  He holds me up and watches my face. I lean in and kiss him. Using my knees I start moving. He pushes my body back and I go deeper. Holy shit it feels good. He has a hand on my nipple and his fingers on my pussy. My hands skate across his shoulders into his hair then back to his shoulders. He moves his hands to my ass and helps lift me. I miss the hand at my nipple so I move my hand there and squeeze making him moan. He slams me onto him over and over until I’m friggin shaking. His mouth finds my nipple and he sucks hard. Holy fuck my body explodes. I lose myself for a minute and feel his chest heaving under me. Wow that was friggin unbelievable. I hope it’s always like this. He’s got his face in my hair and arms wrapped around me holding me to him as if I was going to move away. I don’t think I can even move my head to look at him. Friggin unbelievable.

  “Love you little red.” He whispers taking a deep breath. I make a noise and feel his chest rumble. I guess that’s a laugh when you’re spent. “You pull everything out of me baby. You get it all. I love that.” I make noise again and turn my head to kiss his neck. He loosens his arms and slides his hands down my back. “Let me clean you up now that I made you dirty.” I push up and hold my hand on his chest for balance. He chuckles, “You’re well done babe. I’ll make this quick.”

  I nod. “I love you Cloud.” Tumbles out of my mouth. He lifts me off him and grabs the cloth. Once I’m washed he dries me and pulls a t shirt over my head. I’m asleep before he makes it into bed.

  Chapter Nine

  Saturday

  CJ

  Brenda is here helping keep the kids out of the guys’ way. For the most part they stay in the back. Kate is helping her with the toddlers. Aleena is in the kitchen doing cleanup and helping keep the bowls full. Jess is helping me get lunch set out for the guys. Tiny (a huge tattooed and pierced man) is manning the grill. He's my new best friend, so he tells me; I won't tell him but he's kind of growing on me. His wife Nancy is setting drinks in big galvanized buckets with ice.

  I love how everyone pitches in. They're like a big family. They didn't bring Prospects because they didn't have CORY's done on them. The Baxter's have guys here too; Jake, Chase, Paul, and Beau are here. Paul's son Will is here helping clean up anything that falls, he's autistic and determined to help. I've seen the guys pitch things to the ground to keep him busy. They're all huge men but have hearts of gold.

  The windows and patio was finished on Thursday, today they're finishing the garage. We set a table in the breezeway to hold all the food. It's a lot of food. Tiny tells me they're big guys; I guess that means they'll eat all of it. He has the last of the meat on the grill so we make one more round filling everything up. I meet Jess, Nancy and Aleena in the kitchen for a drink before we head out the back. “Hey how did the testing go with Jeremy?” I tell her it will be a couple of weeks before we get the results.

  She nods following us out. "I'm glad lunch is done." Aleena says.

  Jess laughs, "I hope they finish before dinner." Nancy agrees.

  I walk out the back to the patio; I admire it as I walk through to the back porch where Kate and the little ones are. "That was fast." We laugh; we just spent close to two hours getting food to the kids then the men.

  "We refilled the last of the food for when Tiny finishes the meat. We're done with our part until we need to clean it up. By then it will be time for dinner." Jess tells her smiling. I love how they all are happy and don't complain about what needs to be done. This isn't even one of their houses.

  "So when are you coming by my shop to pick out some clothes CJ?" Nancy asks.

  I look at her confused. "You have a shop?" They laugh reminding me of the credit I have there.

  "We need to do a shopping. She’s obviously shopping handicapped." Kate says.

  Jess rubs her hands together, "no margaritas though, strawberry daiquiris this time."

  "With the ice!" Nancy says, they laugh. She tells me about them being drunk in Tess' closet because they forgot the crushed ice. I'm wondering how it tasted without the ice, that must have been sweet as hell. They're funny though.

  "How about next Saturday, you have to bring Joey with you." Kate says.

  "Ok, I'll get Brenda scheduled with the boys." I'm getting excited now. I haven't been shopping in forever. Luckily my clothes are mostly casual wear.

  "It's settled. We'll bring Ally and the girls can do a little shopping of their own. We have some gift cards they can use and learn about spending as they do." Jess says.

  Kate rolls her eyes, "Every time it's a lesson with you." She laughs. "She's been like this since I've known her. She handles everything that is money related."

  "I heard about her spreadsheets and how I better have receipts to go on them." I tell them. They all nod their heads so serious. I can't help but laugh. Kate and Nancy start laughing too. Jess smiles and waves them away. "I've also heard you are the baker to see when I'm in need of a sugar rush. They all start talking about their favorite pastry and cakes. I smile; they love each other like sisters.

  I stand and look for my kids. "Brenda, do you have a head count?" She goes from house to house then the basketball court. "We're missing one of yours and one of Kate's."

  "I'll check the front and house." She nods going to count again.

  "They're probably in front with the guys." Kate says.

  Christian runs to me. "It's Taylor. It's what I didn't understand." He has tears in his eyes.

  Kate gets up and comes to him. "Go through the house. Jess, check the front. Nancy can you watch the little ones?" She brings Christian to the patio. I walk through fast but hear her ask if it was a vision. He says it was. Fuck!

  I run up the stairs. He’s not in any of the upstairs rooms. Going down the back stairs I see Victor walking through the kitchen. "Did you see Taylor?" He asks me.

  "No, let Brenda know where you are and I'll check the rest of the house." I walk out to Danny. "Danny, Taylor is missing; I need to check the safe rooms but I don't know where they all are. He jogs in the house and goes from room to room. Cloud has the guys check the yard and around the fence. The kids check all the trees and houses again. I call down to Tony, Brantley's friend, they haven't seen him. Oh shit. Cloud comes in looking for Christian. We’ll find him, Kate and Steve on the patio.

  Steve looks at Cloud. "He's in the reservation. Heard someone talkin about Rob not welcome here. Used his last name; Taylor. Didn't understand, thinks you don't want him. Meets up with older kids, gets hurt in a quarry, they leave scared. It's at dark."

  "Fuck!" He pulls his phone and asks to use the chopper and get some guys in the reservation looking for Taylor. He gives his phone to Steve to explain and runs into the room. He washes his hands and grabs his flight bag. I don't know what to do. I just lost a kid; I've never done that before.

  "What do I do? Should I call the police?" I ask anyone. "We have procedures but you're all here."

  "Wait on PD." Steve says. I nod. "Need to know how long he's been gone."

  I go out to the back and question the kids. He ate with the kids then wasn't seen after that. Victor thought he was with the older boys, they thought he was with the younger. I run in and tell Steve best guess is two hours, just after he ate. He calls Cloud who's already on his way with Beau and Brantley.

  More men show up and start walking the land in every direction. My whole body is shaking. Christian holds onto me keeping me calm. Brenda keeps the little kids busy; the older boys are helping the search teams. Kate stays close to Christian. "I learned how to guide Tess. When something happens she usual
ly has another vision soon after." I nod and thank her. Christian hugs her saying thanks, he's scared, she holds onto him. She's so good with the kids, I'm glad she's here.

  Chase comes into the house. "Cloud's in the air. He wanted me to tell you he'll find him." I nod and the tears start. Fuck! Aleena comes in and hugs me then hands me a box of tissue.

  Patches comes in carrying a very pregnant Tess. Max follows. "She said we had to be here. Rich is with Danny." Kate nods.

  Christian sits with Tess who is crying. "It's going to be ok. He didn't understand but he will. Cloud will make sure of it."

  "Why are you crying?" Christian asks the obvious question.

  Tess hugs him. "Because you love him." I look from one to the other then at Kate. She shrugs.

  Patches laughs, “Fuckin Tess." Christian puts his hand out for a buck. Something he picked up from the Little Brothers. Thank God I don’t say them out loud; he can’t charge me for thinking it.

  I’m feeling a little better now that Tess is here telling us it will be ok. I hear the helicopter and relax. It’s like a balm that soothes me. I hear Brantley talking on a loud speaker. He’s calling for Taylor to come out telling him he didn’t understand. He sounds so worried. “My poor lost boys.” I whisper.

  “Only Taylor, the rest are found. He’ll be found too. It will be ok.” Tess says. I just nod. “Your next one isn’t so easy.” She says making me laugh. Fuckin Tess. Christian puts his hand out and I slap it down. Everyone laughs.

  I go out to check on the little guys and get away from Christian and the swear police. Brenda, Ally and Joey are keeping them entertained. Joey is so proud telling me all they’ve done. Brenda takes me aside and apologizes for not keeping the kids safe. “You didn’t lose him as much as he ran away. He heard something one of the guys said about Rob Taylor and thought it was about him. He should know better than to run away and I should have had more than one person for all these kids. It’s a lesson learned. Keep me in check next time.” She looks relieved and asks if I want her to call her father. “Steve said to wait on that. I think I should wait. Tess said he’s going to come back fine.” I tell her.

  “If Tess says he’s fine then he’s fine.” She says with a smile. I don’t tell her about Christian’s vision. No point in getting her worked up over that. Christian had no problem showing her the real him. I was shocked and happy. Hiding and always gauging and selecting his words has got to be exhausting. I sit with the girls playing with the little guys. Jeremy sits by me and holds my hand. I lean over and kiss his head getting me the cutest smile. I love him.

  I hear a cheer go up. I run into the house. Christian tackles me. “Danny has him! He’s ok!” I of course cry. Aleena holds the box of tissues in front of me then Kate then Tess.

  Chase laughs then hugs me. “Cloud chose well. The heart of a lion and love of a saint.”

  “I like that. I’m going to ask Penny to put it on a shirt for you.” Tess says making us all laugh. She’s so friggin cute. Christian nods. Friggin kid.

  He looks at Patches. “You should bring her to the hospital.”

  Tess laughs. “I was waiting for Rich.”

  Kate screams and bends to hug her. “My grandbabies are coming!”

  “They’re beautiful like Tess and special like Jeremy.” Christian says his eyes are far away. “They’re going to help so many people.” I notice Max is sitting on his feet. I point down and Tess laughs. “Rich is here, you should take her to the hospital.”

  Kate stands up and holds Christian’s hand. “You did perfect Christian. You can come back now. We got everything.” She says so sweet, I’m friggin soothed by it.

  Max barks. Patches lifts Tess and Christian smiles. “It’s time. They’re here. Taylor is sorry.” I hold his hand and pull him to the door.

  I run down the stairs and open the door; Rich laughs lifting Taylor over him handing him to me. I grab him and back up squishing him to me. “Don’t you ever do that again! We are a family. When you have a problem you bring it to us. You never run away. What the hell were you thinking?” I lift his head and look at him. He’s friggin smiling. Everything is wiped away, all the fear and anxiety is just gone. “I love you Taylor. That means always no matter what. You got that?” He kisses my cheek and I laugh.

  Danny laughs. “Told ya.” He slaps Brantley’s shoulder and turns back to Taylor. “Now I have to get my girl to the hospital and see my grandkids. You plan on anymore running you need to give me a few hours. Yeah?”

  Taylor smiles. “Yeah. Thanks Danny and Rich.”

  Patches yells from the back seat with Tess. “Let’s go you can chit chat later.”

  Rich looks at me. “Can we leave Max for a day or so?” I nod. “I’ll have Tiny bring you some of his things.” I nod. Patches is yelling again. Kate laughs from behind me.

  “I promise I won’t lose any of your kids if you want to leave them here.” I tell her.

  Danny laughs. “They can stay. Thank you. Cloud should be home soon.” I nod and watch them climb in and back out.

  When I turn everyone is on the porch and stairs. I laugh and put Taylor down. He looks embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t understand and made everyone worry for nothing. I promise not to run away from my family again.” He watches for their reaction. Brantley and Christian run to him and hug him. Jacob and Jeremy fight to get down from Chase and Aleena and run to him too then everyone surrounds him and hugs everyone else. I’m laughing hysterically. I’ve never seen Bikers being so sappy. I didn’t really know any bikers but still. It’s funny.

  Cloud pulls up and wades in. “I need to have a talk with my boy here. He’ll meet you out back when we’re done.” Everyone gives Taylor sympathetic looks. Christian smiles at him. I push him toward the porch. Cloud brings Taylor to the table the guys used to eat at. “Can you give us a minute CJ? I know you probably don’t want him out of your sight but I need to have a guy talk with him.” I nod but don’t move. “I promise I will deliver him to you when we’re done.” I kiss his head and walk into the back watching the kids play basketball.

  Cloud comes up behind me. Taylor goes to join in. "He won't run away again." He kisses the top of my head.

  I look up smiling. "I didn't think he would. I was so scared though then Tess came in and said he'd be fine, you'd make sure of it."

  He smiles down. "I have to tell you before you hear it from someone else. I couldn't land the chopper anywhere close to him so Beau lowered Brantley down to him. We waited above them until Danny showed up."

  My heart beats fast. I feel my face getting red. "You did what?" I yell spinning around.

  He puts his hands in front of him. "Beau could have gone, it was a fifteen foot drop but Brantley was there, he was safe and now he has a story to tell his friends. He was so scared for Taylor. It gave him a lift."

  "The boy is twelve friggin years old! Did you repel out of a chopper when you were twelve?" I can't believe him.

  "Well no but I was in a plane then. I even got to fly it for a while." He says still with his hands in front of him.

  "You did? Is this stuff normal for families to do?" What the hell do I know I lived in a shitty foster home when I was twelve?

  "Well I guess not in regular families but I'm a pilot and ex SEAL and Badass Biker. I do crazy shit for work regularly. I don't think twice about it. Fifteen feet is nothing and he had a harness and Beau lowering him. It really was just fifteen feet. We even put a helmet on him." He looks like he's begging me to understand. Maybe this is normal shit for guys like him.

  I look over at Tiny. "Is this normal shit or is he crazy?"

  "Red they're Badass Bikers; they do crazy shit for a living. Add in the SEAL shit and the Security, you can't expect Brady Bunch activities. They're all fuckin nuts." Chase and Aleena nod.

  "Ok, but he better always have a damn helmet on!" Everyone laughs. I walk over to Brantley. "I'm proud of you for staying with Taylor. You did just what a big brother is supposed to do." He hugs me and smiles at Cloud
. Friggin guys.

  I go to the deck and sit with Brenda, Nancy and Aleena. The guys go to Rich's to get Max' stuff. "So he's off the hook for letting Brantley repel out of the chopper?" Aleena asks.

  "Well, I lived in care. I didn't have a cool parent to do cool shit with. I know he wouldn't let anything happen to Brantley; he loves him. If this is his normal I guess I need to get that." I look at each one of them.

  Aleena laughs. "Cloud is going to love being with you."

  "I hope so he promised me at least sixty years." I smile at her.

  "Are you friggin kidding me? You're engaged and didn't tell anyone?" She grabs my hand and looks at the ring. "I thought it was a beautiful ring but didn't know it was an engagement ring!" She pulls the rest of me over and hugs me. Nancy tells her to loosen up. She's crying and laughing. "My brother is marrying the coolest freakin woman I've ever met. I love it!" She kisses my cheek. "Wait until my Nunánuk finds out."

  "He asked me when we were there. She knows, the rest of the tribe does too, they came to meet me." She looks pissed.

  "So I'm the last one to know? Why didn't anyone tell me?" She's yelling and drawing the kids’ attention.

  "Maybe because you're acting like a crazy person." Brenda says a little nervous.

  Aleena looks around then laughs. "I am, I'm sorry, I'm so excited. You are a perfect match for him."

  I thank her and we talk about anything that doesn't get Aleena too excited. I'm so relieved when the guys get back. Aleena yells at Cloud and he laughs at her. He's a little crazy too.

  Tiny gets the kids gathered up and coordinates showers and baths. He tells everyone to man a bathroom, me to get shorts and shirts for the kids that don't live here and Brenda to watch the toddlers until the older kids are done. Being the adults that we are, we listen to whatever he tells us and are done half an hour later. That worked out well, I make a mental note to write it down.
