“Pussy, Carter. It’s pussy.” He laughed and walked out of the closet.
After a few breaths, I walked out and saw everyone looking at me. Vicky, Alaina, Phoebe, and Carter. Yes, Carter insisted on being a bridesmaid, even though Ade said he could be a groomsman.
See, Priscilla—I told you.
“Holy fucking shit,” Vicky whispered.
“Kalie, you look fucking insane,” Phoebe followed.
I turned red and looked to Alaina, who was crying. “Lain! Don’t. Please, no more tears. Shit. How am I going to get through today?”
Phoebe stood from her spot. “Oh! Look what I got.” She pulled out a bottle of Absinthe from her handbag, the same one I had.
“Absinthe? How did you get this?” I asked.
She shrugged. “Oh, you know, the perks.”
I laughed and shook my head. I knew exactly where she got it.
Alaina came up to me and kissed me on the cheek. “I’m so happy Ade found someone as special as you. Never, ever, underestimate your strength Kalie. Now with not only Ade but us,” she gestures around the room, “and all the boys. You can do, and get through anything, girl. We got you.” She pulled me in for another kiss. “Now, I need to go get our little flower girl and ring boy.”
I shooed her out with tears coming down my face. “Great, the seal’s been broken,” I said laughing and wiping my face.
We stayed in the hotel last night only because Vicky insisted. It pissed Ade off like something chronic, but Vicky knew him too well. There was no way he would have been able to stay away from me.
Alaina walked back into the room, holding Pipper’s hand on one side and Landon’s on the other. I bent down to the two.
“Hey princess,” I said to Pipper.
“Aunty Kalie,” she giggled.
She was three going on fifteen. Landon pulled on my dress from below.
“Landon, no baby. Don’t pull on Aunty Kalie’s dress,” Alaina said picking him up.
I wave her off. “Don’t be silly. You can pull on my dress anytime sweetness.”
These kids were seriously adorable. I couldn’t wait to give them some little buddies, but that could wait.
My mom walked in and stopped in her tracks. “Oh my God.” She ran up to me and pulled me into her. “You look so beautiful my girl.” I wiped her tears and kissed her hand. “Thank you, Ma.”
I turned around and looked at everyone in the room. I decided to keep my makeup on the classical side, and my hair was all swept to one side of my face in one big soft curl.
“Are we ready?” I asked.
They all looked back at me in their bridesmaid’s dresses. I’d decided on red. Carter was wearing a red suit—even though I was sure he would rather wear a dress.
We pulled up to my home and there were cars everywhere. We decided to keep it small, with family and close friends, but that was actually a lot of people as it turned out. With everyone’s plus one as well, it all added up.
The sun was going down and it was setting in a perfect light. We got out of the car and my dad greeted me at my front door.
“Come on, baby. Your groom is waiting for you.”
Those words set off a cage of butterflies flying around in my tummy. He’s mine, and I’m his. The thought still ignites me, like something fierce. I took his hand, letting the bridesmaids go ahead of me. When we reached the glass opening of our living room that had been covered in white sheet draping all over it, I heard everyone turn silent as the song we asked Twisted Transistor to do for us—with our lyrics—began playing softly through the speakers, with each bridesmaid disappearing through the white sheet.
“Holy shit,” I mumbled.
I felt so nervous I could have spewed. I was nauseated and excited all at the same time.
“It’s time, you ready?” my dad asked from beside me.
I nodded my head. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”
He pushed the sheet open, with my arm wrapped around his as we began walking down the aisle. It was lined with tea lights everywhere. The trees around the property had been draped with tea lights as well. On either side of the aisles, we had white seats where our family and friends sat. Finally, I look up to the altar which was also covered in tea lights, when I saw Ade standing there in a crisp, white shirt and black slacks. His hair was standing nicely around his face but still tousled.
He smirked and dragged his eyes up and down my body. I blushed and dropped my face for a second. Then looked back up to him where his usual cocky smirk had been replaced by the most sincere, soft smile I had ever seen on his beautiful face.
Once I reached him, my dad handed me to him and took a seat in the front row next to my mom. My parents love Ade, probably more than they love me. He’s the son they never had, and I guess in a way, they’re the parents he never had. Aside from Zane’s mom. I looked down at Zane’s mom and smiled at her. She had her tissues in her lap, sitting on the other side of my mom. They got on way too well, they were like old friends who drink and get into mischief with each other and it drove Zane a little crazy. They both looked like proud parents and it warmed my heart.
“You look fucking beautiful, baby. I can’t wait to peel this sweet dress off you after I’ve made sweet love to your pussy in it,” he whispered into my ear.
My face turned bright beet red and I laughed. He stepped back and we both looked at the priest as he handed us our vowels and the doors to our future opened.

Losing Traction
Westbeach Series Book One
Ryer and Pheobe’s Story
My name is Phoebe Rendon. Growing up as the only girl surrounded by the Sinful Souls MC community has never been easy. Outside of the club, I had no life because my brother and his two psycho best friends kept tabs on me. My only out was racing at Point Hellers, the largest and steepest drift mountain in Westbeach, California. Cars were my life, and years later, that hasn’t changed. Only now, I have the funds to support my habit.
My love life’s been rocky. All I’ve known of love is twisted biker men from other MC chapters. Until I met Ryder Oakley, the lead singer and Rock God from Twisted Transistor. He showed me the world in two weeks. Then one night he up and left me, without so much as a note. Now, two years later, I’ve been assigned as a fashion assistant to go on tour with Alyx Munroe, pop princess and diva queen. Only my shitty boss Maree omitted to inform me that Alyx Munroe would also be touring with Twisted Transistor. Just when I thought I’d forgotten Ryder, he comes back into my life in full force, causing me to slowly lose traction of my feelings.
With my plans for building my own racing circuit underway, I finally have the footing to leave the fashion industry and concentrate on finalizing my circuit. Where we can showcase some of the best and hottest girl racers from around the world.
This empire is mine, but with power and money comes hate and destruction.

A little bit about me. I am the mama bear to four little kiddos, two girls, and two boys. I’m also a wife-to-be to my partner of ten years. We were high school sweethearts, without the high school. My little (big) family are my rock, and I’m so lucky to have them with me through it all.
I am from New Zealand! Born and raised in a small town called Rotorua. It’s a beautiful city, just smells a little. I’m currently living in Australia on the Whitsunday Coast (Great Barrier Reef) where we hope to settle down for a long time. I love the beach, and margaritas, and wine. Don’t forget the wine. Chinese food is the best food.
One day I hope to travel the world, preferably the US, because I’m obsessed with it. I would travel now, but my bank account is like...“Dude, no.” So I’ve put that in the goal bucket.
I love all my beautiful readers, you have kept me going. You’re my inspiration to keep writing, with all your kind words and reviews. You are all amazing, and I write for you.
That’s enough yappin’ from me. See you all in Wonderland. x
Namaste.
