MC: Brighton

by L. Ann Marie

  Me and Danny look at each other and wince at the thought of getting that one off. We go right to Geek’s office where Pres, little Ben, Jessie, and Tiny are sitting around the table. Shit. Me and Danny stand at the wall. I don’t wonder anymore if I’m supposed to be in on the meetings. I’m Danny’s partner, so unless they tell me to leave, I’m here.

  “Tommy called. Said the guy that was out woke up and was talking. They were taking Digs. They thought he was an easy target because he was with you. Dumbass forgot to remain silent. The PD took them in after the stop at the hospital,” Pres says, looking disgusted. I clamp my jaw shut.

  Danny looks at him for a good twenty seconds. “You wanted me to let him hit me with the tire iron? Or I should have put my hands up and let them shoot me? There were three. Digs had my six and we walked in here without a scratch. It was a good day, Ben.”

  Pres nods. “You’re right. It seems lately there’s a target on you two.”

  “That may be, but we didn’t put it there, so we need to find who the fuck did,” I say, surprising me and everyone at the table. Tiny’s laugh booms, drowning out everyone else. Pres smiles, throwing me chin.

  “As fun as all this is, we had the problem in Bristol and a fuckin’ Prospect leaving us vulnerable at our own front door. We can’t have them in these positions.” He looks at me. “Tell me he still has his phone.”

  I nod. “Taped to his hip with his bike key. I thought you’d want to track him. It’s too coincidental after Bristol.” He nods.

  “Other thing is he got hit and stayed down, giving Tiny a look. Then Ricky hit him with a foot to the stomach and he stayed down again. Who the fuck let him in? This is the second Prospect to lose his cut this month.”

  Everyone looks at Tiny. “Brothers sponsor Prospects. It’s based on them seeing something the MC wants.” He’s right. I sponsored a Prospect a couple of years ago and Geek sponsored me.

  Pres is watching. He never misses anything. “Find out who is sponsoring this group. I’ve seen four new Prospects up here this week.” He looks at Danny. “Get Christian and Jacob on the list of Prospects and we can weed them out.” He puts his hand up just as Danny takes a breath to say something. “I know they don’t do the list shit anymore, but this one is important. Get the new Brothers on the list too. They can’t sponsor anyone yet, but they may be pushing for someone.”

  Danny throws him chin. Pres looks at me. “You need HS with you. You won’t be far. We can be there in twenty minutes. If you want to stay in the yard we can make that good for you too.”

  “Penny wants to see the mansions. We’ll stay with what we planned,” I tell him, hoping he doesn’t change his mind. If he wants me here, I have no choice but to be here.

  Jessie jumps in. “I can run trainees on Surveillance and Security for them. It will give round the clock coverage but not tax the Security details.”

  “That would work, Pres. He’s got three that will make HS,” little Ben says. We all look at him. “According to Darren.” He throws in. I smile because we all wonder if he’s like Steve and Rich, but he always throws something in at the end, telling us how he knows shit.

  Pres looks at me again and I hold my breath. “With trainees they are bound to fuck up. Stay dressed and aware. If it isn’t working for you, come back to the yard. I’ll send you away when things are clear.”

  Tiny rolls his eyes. “It’s never fuckin’ clear. The Brother will be waiting until hell freezes over.” I clamp my mouth shut. He’s right.

  Pres laughs, so I relax my jaw and smile. “All right, Brother. Take a couple of days and I’ll get you away for a while once this new threat is settled.”

  “Thanks, Pres.” I throw him chin. He looks at my clothes. What the hell?

  He glances down at his watch. “You need to change. We’ve got half an hour.” Shit, I forgot. “You look surprised. I hope to fuck you’re not backing out,” he growls out and the hair on my neck stands straight.

  Putting my hands up, I smile. “Fuck no! I didn’t realize the time we spent on the gate pussy. Am I done here?” He relaxes and I almost sigh with relief.

  Danny laughs. “You have clothes in your room. Don’t forget the ring.” I pull out the bag from my lower pocket and hand the ring to Geek. He’s standing up for me with Bob. They’re my sponsor and closest Brother.

  I jog through the Club to my room. I hope someone put clothes in here for me. Except for lockdown supplies and clothes, I cleared the room out and I’m pretty sure Penny will be pissed if I’m wearing dirty HS clothes.

  When I see what’s here I almost want to wear my cargos. Who the hell sent these up here? They’re brand new. I call the front and tell the Prospect to send me jeans that don’t have tags on them. I shower, throw the button-down on, and check the door for some jeans. They’re tagged Rich, but I slide them on anyway. We’re about the same size and they work. I wipe my boots down and comb my hair, wondering if I should have shaved. I walk out, deciding I don’t really care.

  I see Jess and Kate walking toward their end of the hall. “Is Penny here yet?” They turn my way.

  “Yes, she’s in my rooms,” Kate says as I walk toward them.

  “You can’t see her dress,” Jess says.

  I look at her, not wanting to be disrespectful, but that isn’t going to work for me. “No offense, Jess, but I’ll see the dress soon enough and I need to give her something so she knows this day is for her.”

  She just looks at me, but Kate laughs. “You have five minutes, go do Badass quick.”

  Penny

  Digs walks right in and I yelp. He laughs. “I need you to have this now.” He pulls a necklace from a box and I want to cry. It’s a princess necklace with a pretty purple stone that matches my ring. ”Can’t have you remember this day without knowing who you are.” He clips it on me. “Perfect.”

  “Thank you,” I croak out. He kisses my head.

  “You can put the earnings on, Kate’s timing me. You’re a beautiful princess,” he says, kissing my lips, then he leaves.

  How in tarnation does he do that? A tear falls and Kate yells at me to stop it. I laugh. This is the craziest day. “That’s beautiful, Penny! He got it to match your ring!” Tess says, running in. I show her the earrings. “Perfect! I didn’t expect him to be this good.”

  I nod and look up while Kate fixes my makeup. “I thought the same thing about Steve. I think it’s the Badass.” They all nod. I don’t move, so Kate doesn’t yell at me again, but I agree. He’s sweet and thoughtful and so darn romantic all in a rough man way.

  Danny comes for me. “You’re done, ladies, it’s time. You’re beautiful, Penny. Digs is a lucky guy.”

  I thank him but think I’m the lucky one. When we get to the common room everyone is waiting. Danny walks me to Digs and puts my hand in his. “Fiddlesticks,” he says, making me laugh. Geek and Bob crack up.

  “Go ahead. We’ll wait for you to get it over with,” Ben says, almost bored.

  I look at him, but Digs kisses my lips gently. “I can wait, Pres,” he tells him. Everyone laughs. Once we say all the words, Digs puts a pretty band on my finger, and Tess gives me his. When he sees it he smiles. “Perfect.” It’s a heavy band with the MC in the middle of the purple but computer lines beveled all the way around it. I’m so glad he likes it. I miss the rest of the words until he kisses me. Then everyone kisses me. Holy Moses! Digs doesn’t let my hand go and I’m glad. Some of these men are scary.

  When everything settles down we sit at a table with the other Officers and the kids surprise me with a new leather coat and pants. “Digs is crazy. He rides all winter, so we thought you’d like to be warm for some of that,” Jessie tells me. I laugh, hugging them. They’re cute and thoughtful.

  Tiny gives Digs a box and he passes it to me. I know exactly what’s in it. I’ve seen the old ladies get these before. My hands are shaking and I have tears in my eyes. Digs takes it out and shows me the back. It’s his Officer cut with Property of on
it. When he turns it around I cry. He put a princess patch on it. They all laugh and he holds my head to his chest while they’re talking. When I calm down he hands me a napkin and says he’s hungry. Dear Lord, he makes me crazy being so sweet then acting like it’s not a big deal.

  We eat, then the band starts. I’m so excited but hear Geek swearing on the other side of the table. “Oh fuck! You couldn’t have booked, oh I don’t know, anybody else!” Danny yells at Tiny. Uh oh, he’s really angry. They fight a lot up here. I hope they’re not going to fight tonight.

  Digs pulls me to dance. “Let’s get away from the crazy bastards while they figure this out.” We slow dance, then waltz. He’s a good dancer. We’ve been dancing every night when he gets home. Ben and Kate pass by us and I smile, then I see Tess and Patches. I look around and see other couples dancing. This is just what I wanted. It’s perfect. When a fast song comes on Digs stays out and we dance fast. There are people everywhere having fun and I’m laughing. All these scary looking men dancing takes the scary right out of them.

  “Let’s get a drink. Geek must be over it. He’s still sitting there.” He walks us through everyone back to the table.

  “Why was he mad?” I ask, leaning into him.

  He looks at Geek, then back at me. “The lead singer is an ex.”

  “Oh.” That stinks. I hope he has fun anyway.

  We eat, then the music starts again. Everyone gets up to do line dances and the TVs come on. The men are on it, dancing in a bare room. Everyone starts laughing, but Steve yells, “I’ll fuckin kill ‘em!” The TVs go blank and Steve chases Geek right out of the Club.

  Tiny, Danny, and Rich follow him. “Should you go too?” I ask Digs.

  “Nope, I’m dancing.” He smiles and dances all the line dances with me.

  Chapter Nineteen

  Two days later...

  Digs

  Just seeing her ass in the air and bound with rope is going to push me over unless I focus on something else, but fuck, that’s a beautiful sight. I grab a vibrator and turn it on, smiling when she moans. “You want this, babe? Maybe right here?” I reach under her and slide it across her nipples, getting a louder moan. Moving it lower, she growls against the gag, making my dick jump. “I love seeing you just like this. When you moan against the gag my dick jumps, wanting in. I need to get my princess off before I come in that pretty pussy.” She rolls her hips, trying to get the vibrator where she wants it. I move it and she growls.

  Kneeling behind her, I slide it from her ass to her clit and she bucks against it. “So wet, babe, you want this here.” I slide it in her and roll it, watching her back arch and the rope tighten. I moan while I get lube on my dick. Fuckin’ beautiful. I rub the head of my dick against her ass and she pushes back. She wants more, so I slide in. She pushes back, getting me to the first stud. I have to stop before I hit the next or I’m going to come just like this. I run code in my head and slide out to her groan. Pushing back in the studs sends jolts to my balls as they pass by her muscle and I’m grinding my teeth. Holy fuck! She pushes back every time I push in, making me want to push harder, but I don’t want her sore. I keep an even pace and pull her ponytail, getting her back arched and her pussy tipped up, taking more of me. Reaching around, I slide my fingers through her juice and roll them over her clit. She screams around the gag and I feel her pussy clenching, throwing my brain to wanting to be in there. I pull out fast and slide the vibrator out, pushing my dick in fast and hard. She yells something, spurring me on. I slam in, feeling the rope slide against me with her pussy grabbing the studs and lose control, pounding into her, holding her hair and watching the rope tighten. I come with a roar and she’s clenching again, squeezing everything out of me. I fall to the side with my arms wrapped around her so my dick can keep getting milked while I try to breathe. Fuck, she’s going to kill me with pleasure one of these days.

  She’s pulling air hard, so I pull the gag tie and it falls away from her mouth. “So fuckin good.” I barely hear myself, but she moans, so she must have heard. When I can think I slide out and run my hand over the rope against her skin. “It’s such a fuckin’ turn on to see rope against your skin. I love that you like it too.” She moans and pushes her ass back into me. She likes it. I untie the knot at her shoulder and lift her leg to get the rope away and unwind it from her waist. She was wrapped like a present for me. I smile, sitting up and getting her free. She’s out of it and the bed is wet again, she liked it that much. My dick jerks and I look down, wondering when he’ll quit. He should be broke right now, not ready for more. I realize it’s the rope against her that gets me acting like a teenager. I get it from under her and throw it on the floor, then lie back down, sliding my arms around her and pulling her against me.

  I open my eyes, seeing sun, then remember where I am and the last time I was awake. My dick jumps and I push into her without moving anything but my hips. She moans, moving her hand over mine low on her stomach. My dick is pushing for hard and fast, but my brain likes holding her just like this, so we go slow and I feel every stud scrape inside, loving the constant friction against them. The jolt I get is like a constant current to my balls and I keep a steady pace to keep that current going. I move my other hand, rolling my fingers around her clit. When she tries to move against me I hold her hand under mine tighter on her belly, keeping her right where I want her. “Heaven, fuckin’ heaven. Come with me, princess.” I roll my hips hard and she cries out. I don’t stop until her body resembles a rag doll. The only thing moving on her is her chest gasping for air and her pussy squeezing my dick. “Morning, babe.” She grunts, making me laugh. “Do you want to leave this room for a while today?”

  “Yeah,” she says with that hoarse morning voice and my dick jumps in her.

  I pull out and sit up, lifting her onto my lap, kissing her head and holding her to my chest. “Love you, babe. Let’s get up so I can spoil you like a princess.”

  “I thought you were,” she mumbles against my chest. She turns her head and kisses it. I always get that zing from her when she does it.

  “We haven’t left the room in two days, babe.” Maybe she’s tired.

  She looks up with my smile on her face. Her eyes are shining and her hair is every fuckin’ where. “I know. I like the way you spoil me.”

  My dick gets hard and I stand up with her in my arms. “Shower and out before I wear out your pussy.”

  She laughs. “I am a little tender. I guess a break wouldn’t hurt.”

  My dick softens with that. She wouldn’t say if she was sore. Shit, I should have paid attention and not acted like a fuckin’ caveman. I get her in the tub instead. “I’ll order breakfast and shower.” She looks happy but relieved. Shit. I shower first, giving her time in the tub. While I wait for the food I pull the mat off the bed. I brought three with me to cover the sheet just in case. I’ll wait until later to put it on. The maids can come do their thing and Penny won’t be embarrassed. I fold it up as small as I can get it and stuff it in the duffle with the dirty clothes. Since we haven’t been anywhere, there isn’t much in the bag.

  She comes out in a towel just as the food arrives. I give her a look when I notice the pussy looking at her. She goes back to the room while I take the cart from the kid. He’s waiting. “The tip is advice. You walk in this room and look at my old lady like that again it will be the last time you walk anywhere for a long time.”

  He looks at my cut, then at my face. I clamp my teeth together so I don’t laugh at his pale face. Even his lips paled. He nods and hurries out the door.

  I get food and coffee on the table and go to check on Penny. She should have been out by now. “Pen, the food is—” I stop, seeing her sitting on the bed fully dressed wringing her hands. “Food is ready, what’s wrong?”

  She looks up at me and I see fear in her eyes, pissing me right the fuck off. “I was just waiting for the man to leave,” she says softly.

  “Whatever the fuck you got in your head, get it out. Our food is on the tabl
e, let’s eat so we can play tourist for a while.” I turn around so I don’t start yelling. Fuck, I thought we were passed all this shit.

  I sit and eat watching the news, but I look at her as she walks slowly to the table. “Peg sent food over, so you could have your favorite muffin.” She looks shocked, then smiles.

  “That is so sweet,” she says, giving me a tentative look.

  I nod. “They’re like that. The guys with the basket of sex toys and the women with all they do. I think Nancy sent clothes and Tess the basket of fruit and chocolate.” She nods. “I like the clothes too. You look beautiful.” She blushes and starts eating.

  Why would she think I’d hurt her now? I hate that look of fear in her eyes. When I killed the pussies in the van I expected it, but I get it now? I eat my eggs and look at the TV, but my brain is going through scenarios of why now. It hits me and I look at her. “The minute he married you he owned you?”

  She looks down. I see the tear hit the table and I want to kill the bastard again! “Pen, today is just like any other. You are mine. I don’t want other men seeing what’s mine. I’ll never talk about what’s mine so that picture never hits another man’s brain. Being mine comes with obligations on my part. I take care with you so I don’t hurt you, body, mind or soul. I protect you from other things or people that could hurt you and work every day to keep you.” She looks in my eyes as if judging if my words are true. “I would hope your list of obligations are similar. It feels like it to me.” Her head is down, but she nods.

  “Bottom line, though, babe, is we work together to make it good for both of us. There’s no fuckin’ way I’d give up what’s mine without a fight. I’ll fuck you into submission, haunt you until you miss seeing my face, feed you every favorite food you have so when you eat it you remember it in my hands. I’ll dance to every song you know so you can’t hear them without remembering my arms around you. The one thing that won’t ever happen is me raising my hand to you. The piece of paper we got just means I have to work harder. I’d be a fuckin’ moron to not keep you happy for that. You being sweet is all I want and you smiling is all I ever want to see.” She starts crying and launches herself at me, almost knocking us both backward. Holy shit. It’s like a floodgate opened. She was waiting for me to own her even though I showed her everything but that. Fuckin’ asshole has her scared even when he’s dead. When she calms I clean her face and she goes to fix her makeup. I’m pissed and want to hit something. Trying to calm down, I think about a swim later and how I’ll need something to unwind after all the mansions I’ve been to. I was been bored the last time we hit them playing tour guide to an MC group from New Mexico. I need to give her this and make it good, so I will.
