Blade's Awakening (Wild Kings MC Book 5)

by Erin Osborne

  Slim’s guy, Fox, seems to think Jason has ties to a cartel but we’re not sure. We can’t find anything concrete to support that idea. About the only thing that can be said for Jason is that he’s careful. Other than when it comes to his drug and gambling habits. He’s never been arrested for either, but he’s not careful about where he shops around for his shit either.

  “Blade, I’m gonna get a room ready for Keira at the clubhouse. I want her here from now on. At least until we can get her back to you.”

  “I want her home. Now. But I know we have to play this carefully. So, if that’s the best we can do for right now, then I’ll take it,” I tell everyone in the room and on the phone. “My only concern is him gettin’ to her between the clubhouse and Vixen. And, her not havin’ anyone there to talk to other than club girls.”

  “I’m bringin’ Shy in to stay with her. We got a room big enough that they can share. Shy already knows and is packin’ her stuff now. She also knows that she’s not to be with anyone in the club while Keira is here. At least not in the room they share,” Slim tells me.

  “Okay. How about her gettin’ to and from work? Doctor’s appointments?” I ask.

  “We’re gonna have at least three to four guys on her at all times.”

  “She trusts Wood and Killer,” I tell Slim. “Those are two of the ones I want on her the most. The third guy is up to you, but I definitely want them on her. And, I think if she’s gonna be at the clubhouse, she needs a girl’s day or somethin’. This shit is wearin’ on her and she’s not gonna say anythin.”

  “Can do that too. I know she likes Shy from Vixen. I don’t know who else to have though. Not without introducin’ a lot of people here and runnin’ the risk that Jason has his hooks in one of them.”

  Since some of the guys from Gage’s club are on the call with us, Trojan pipes up. “Crash and I can get Darcy to go there. We’ll tell her that you want to pamper Keira for the day and we only trust her with our women.”

  “Is she gonna listen to you though?” Cage asks. “We all know she’s a fuckin’ hell cat when it comes to you two and gives you a run for your money.”

  “She’ll listen. She’s all about helpin’ out a girl in need of some pamperin’. Besides, there’s reasons she’s startin’ to come around to the idea of us,” Crash tells us all. “When do you want to do this?”

  “Can we plan on tomorrow? I want her to get her mind off shit for a while.”

  “I can put it in motion. Trojan and Crash, let me know when you leave and I’ll make sure the girls are here and ready. Not like we’re lettin’ them out of our sights anyway.”

  “We’ll leave as soon as we can get Darcy’s ass movin’,” Crash says.

  “Give us an hour and we’ll be out the door. Just gotta find firecracker first. She’s been hidin’ for a few different reasons and we’re tryin’ to get to the bottom of the shit. Probably a good idea to get her out of town for a few hours or so,” Trojan tells us.

  “You need help, let us know,” Grim says before saying his goodbyes and turning to us. “I know you want to be there Blade. Especially with her bein’ in the Phantom Bastards clubhouse. But, we need you here. We need to make everythin’ look as normal as possible. That way Jason might think Slim is doin’ this shit on his own and not plannin’ anythin’ with us.”

  “I hear ya. I don’t like it, but I know I have to put her, Kenyon, and Cory first.”

  The room goes absolutely silent. There’s no movement or anything from any of the guys sitting around me. I just look from one face to the next until Cage speaks up finally.

  “Twins? For real man?” he asks.

  “Yeah. We found out when I was up there last. Keira wanted to make an announcement together, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen anytime soon.”

  “Well, congrats man!” Joker says, standing up and pulling me in for a hug. “We’ll get your girl back. No matter what we’ll have her home to you soon.”

  “Thanks.” There’s nothing more for me to say but that.

  The rest of the guys all follow suit and offer their congratulations while I think that Keira should be here with me. She should be getting told congratulations and being asked how she’s doing so far. Everything that a pregnant woman is supposed to hear. Not my girl though. Instead, she’s suffering in the hands of some twatwaffle that wants to sell her to the highest bidder.

  Tank, seeing my mood deteriorating faster and faster, pulls me from church after looking at Grim. I know we’re heading to the gym because that’s where he always takes me these days. He’s about to hand my ass to me and I need to put all this shit I’m feeling into fighting him. It’s either that, or just let him beat the shit out of me.

  After changing real quick, I crank the stereo and hear Broken by Seether blaring through the speakers. This song definitely fits my mood right now. Without Keira, I am a broken man. I thought I was broken before, losing my sister, having drug addicts as parents, being left alone more than having anyone be there for me, and having daily ass beatings. Now that I know what it’s like to have a woman have my back no matter what, I can’t imagine going back to being out for loose pussy and having a different club girl every day. Hell, every few hours sometimes.

  “You ready?” Tank asks, taping his hands up.

  “I guess. My head’s not in it. Not gonna be much good in the ring today.”

  “You’ll get your head in the game. Or you’ll find yourself with some broken ribs, a battered face, and whatever else I choose to do to you,” Tank tells me, meaning every word of it.

  Tank isn’t trying to be an asshole. He’s trying to help me get my head away from thinking about all of the what ifs about Keira and our children. He knows after going through it when his girl, Maddie, was taken. Yeah, he had his daughter there to help keep his mind occupied. But, the girls had her more than he did. That way he could concentrate on looking for Maddie and bringing her home safe.

  The only thing I need to concentrate on right now is not getting my ass handed to me. Again. There’s nothing more I can do about getting my girl out of Benton Falls. I can’t get her away from that scumsucking, dead-man walking, Jason. For now, I have to trust in Slim and his club to keep my girl safe and away from Jason. There’s more to him than we know and I don’t think we’re going to like what we find out.

  The only thing that eases any of my tension is knowing that the guys are going to be watching her even more now that she’s going to the clubhouse. And, they’re making sure she gets a girl’s day out, well, in, to feel pampered. She’ll be having a little bit of fun because I know Darcy is going to make sure of it. At least if the things I’ve seen in the past are anything to go by. The only thing that matters to me is my kitten’s happiness. It means more to me than anything else in this world. Until our son and daughter are born anyway.

  Keira

  I’ve been at Slim’s clubhouse for a day and a half with Shy and his club. For the most part, I’ve stuck to the room they put us in and I haven’t ventured out too far from there. The main time I leave is when I have to go to Vixen. And I now have an escort to go to and from work. Wood or Killer usually drive me in my car while two or three other guys follow us. I don’t necessarily feel all that safe, but it’s better than being in Jason’s house. Even if it’s just temporary until he can find a way to get me back.

  Shy comes walking in the door and sits down on the end of my bed. I’ve been laying here daydreaming about Blade and the life we could’ve had. Because I know that I’m not getting out of this alive. Hell, I’ll be lucky to get out of this with minimal scarring if they do end up selling me. And I know Jason’s not working alone. There’s more people involved, I just don’t know who.

  “Honey, apparently we’re gonna have visitors today,” Shy tells me. “Slim said they should be here in about an hour or so.”

  “Who?” I ask, my hopes raising thinking that Blade is coming.

  “I’m sorry babe, but it’s not your man. I guess a few guys fr
om the other Wild Kings charter are coming here with someone named Darcy. I’m not sure if there’s gonna be any other women or not though.”

  “Oh,” I say, a sinking feeling in my gut. “Well, I guess I better get in the shower so I can get dressed.”

  “Alright. I’m gonna go see if the few old ladies that are here need help. Have you met any of them yet?”

  “No. I know that only a few guys here have an old lady. But, I’ve been trying to stay to myself until this mess gets sorted.”

  “I’ll be right down the hall if you need me,” Shy tells me, heading for the door.

  “Shy? Thanks for everything,” I tell her, walking into the bathroom.

  Before getting undressed, I adjust the water until it’s the hottest I can stand. I’m not sure exactly why members from the other charter are coming here, but I’m sure that Blade knows and had a hand in setting it up. I know I’ve heard the name Darcy before, I just can’t remember where right now where. I’m sure it was when I was staying with Blade though.

  I don’t really want to have this girl’s day, but if they’ve already arranged it then I’ll go through with it. There’s just so much that I could be doing and I’ve been so tired because of the pregnancy. My stomach makes it so I can’t see my feet, I’m tired, my back is killing me, and sleep is almost impossible these days. But, I wouldn’t trade it for the world knowing that soon Kenyon and Cory will be here. I might get to hold them for a minute or two before they go to Blade and that’s going to have to be enough for now. Even though my heart is breaking.

  So, I get ready as quickly as I can considering the fact that I’ve also been having some dizzy spells that no one knows about. I haven’t even had a chance to tell the doctor about these spells yet. Hopefully no one figures it out and tells Blade about it.

  Chapter Six

  Darcy

  It’s been a long few weeks and I’m ready to crash into oblivion. So, I turn on the water to run a hot bath before climbing into bed. I’ve already stripped and I’m just getting ready to step in the tub when there’s a pounding at my door. With everything that’s been going on, my heart is in my throat and I don’t want to leave the sanctuary of my bathroom. Unfortunately, whoever is knocking at my door doesn’t care. So, I grab the pistol I just purchased out of my bag and cautiously make my way to the front door.

  “Who is it?” I call out, aiming the gun at the door.

  “Crash and Trojan,” Comes the muffled reply.

  Lowering the gun, I keep it at my side and walk to unlock the three locks I now have on my door. Crash and Trojan are standing there looking hot as fuck as usual. Trojan takes in the fact that I’m only wearing a tiny silk robe and nothing more before taking in the fact that I’m holding a gun at my side.

  “What’s with the gun firecracker?” Trojan asks, stepping through the door followed by Crash.

  “You need to tell us somethin’?” Crash asks.

  “Um, a girl can never be too careful,” I answer hesitantly.

  “There’s more to it than that and we’re gonna get to the bottom of it. Now, that’s not why we’re here.” Trojan says, stepping in my kitchen and helping himself to the contents of my fridge. “Blade wants Keira to have a girl’s day and get pampered. We thought you could help us out with that.”

  “When are we doing this?” I ask, more than happy to get out of here for a while. “I need time to get some things ready.”

  “First thing in the mornin’. She’s been goin’ through some shit, she’s about ready to pop with Blade’s twins, and everyone thought she could use this.”

  “Okay. Now, if you two don’t mind, I’m taking my bath and then going to bed. I’ll be up early to get everything ready and text you when I’m ready to leave.”

  “We don’t mind at all firecracker. You do your thing and we’ll be out on the couch. Not goin’ anywhere tonight knowin’ somethin’ ain’t right with you.”

  I don’t even have the energy to argue. So, I leave them to do their thing and make my way into the bathroom, making sure to lock the door. Just because I’m letting them stay in my house doesn’t mean I want them coming in my bathroom while I’m in the tub. That’s the last thing I need right now. Especially considering the fact that they both seem to star in my nightly fantasies and have gotten me off more, and better, in the last few months than anyone ever has in real life. Tonight is going to prove difficult with them sleeping under the same roof as me, invading my space.

  ~~**~~

  Last night was one of the longest nights of my life. Today doesn’t seem to be going any better as I’m sitting in between my two leading men on our way to Benton Falls. I’m excited to know that I’m going to finally meet the woman that stole Blade’s heart since I’ve already heard all about her from the rest of the girls. And I get to do my thing and make her feel better for at least a little bit. I’ll make sure she forgets about everything while I’m at the clubhouse.

  “How much longer until we’re there?” I ask, squirming in my seat.

  “About fifteen minutes or so. Somethin’ wrong firecracker?” Crash asks, leaning in closer.

  “Nope. Just want to get out and stretch my legs after sitting between two cavemen the size of elephants. Not a lot of room in here.”

  “You can always sit on my lap and have more room to stretch out,” Trojan says, acting like he’s going to place me in his lap.

  “Back the fuck off caveman. I’m good where I’m at. No need to see what little you’re working with,” I say, trying to mask the fact that I’d love to be sitting in his lap right now.

  “Firecracker, I’ll take it out right now and show you what I’m workin’ with. It ain’t little and I don’t want you passin’ out with want when you see it.”

  “Same goes for me firecracker,” Crash says, putting his two cents into the conversation.

  “You guys keep telling yourselves that. I get what I need and I don’t need the likes of you two thinking anything is ever going to happen between us.”

  “That’s a lie and we all know it. You go to your shop and go back home. Every. Single. Day. The only other places you go are the store and when you go to one of the clubhouses for the girls. You haven’t been fucked since we met you and even then I’m sure it was lackin’,” Crash tells me.

  “Are you guys following me or something?”

  “Nope. We just know your routine. Whenever there’s a lockdown or any trouble we make sure that a prospect is on you. You just don’t ever see him.”

  I’d like to say something in response to that but I can’t. It’s really not a surprise that they’ve been having me followed when there’s trouble around. I look and we’re pulling into the clubhouse. So, I can finally get a break from the Neanderthals for a while.

  As soon as Trojan is out of the door, I hop out of the truck and grab my bag. I don’t wait for them to follow me in the clubhouse, I know where to go and I don’t need these two overbearing men on my ass any more than they already have been.

  The first person I see after my eyes adjust is Slim. He’s a good looking older man and he scares the shit out of me if I’m being honest. Slim is sitting next to two women and I can already tell who Keira is. She’s got long, gorgeous red hair and there’s a sadness to her that I haven’t seen in someone in a very long time. Not since I left my ex and could finally breathe again.

  “Let me go to the bathroom quick and I’ll be with you two ladies,” I tell them, making my way down the hallway where the men’s rooms are.

  About halfway down the hallway, I hear moaning coming from one of the rooms and just shake my head. This is nothing new and it really doesn’t surprise me. However, the open door does shock me. Quietly taking a few steps closer, the sight before me has me intrigued and wanting to get closer. In the middle of the bed is a girl between a guy I don’t know and my good friend, Wood.

  The guy I don’t know is laying on the bed while the club girl is riding him. Wood is behind her and I can just imagine where his cock
is stuffed. From what I can see Wood and the other man don’t touch at all, it’s all about the girl in between them. Is this what it would be like if I gave Crash and Trojan one night?

  Before I can continue watching them, I feel heat at my back and instantly know that it’s the men in question. After a few seconds, Trojan is yelling at Wood to close his fucking door the next time he wants to get his dick wet, especially with me being in the clubhouse and the trouble we always seem to get into.

  “You see somethin’ you like?” Crash asks, pulling the door closed.

  “Um….” I can’t even answer him.

  Trojan takes up his spot at my back while Crash closes in on the front side of me. It’s easy to handle one of them at a time, but the two of them together is almost impossible to ignore. There’s no denying that I want them both. I’m just not sure if I can act on my feelings and accept only one night with the two of them. So, instead of answering them, I squeeze my way out from in between them and run to the bathroom.

  Keira

  Darcy came rushing through with two men following her closely even though she didn’t realize it. A few minutes after she disappeared down the hallway, there was some yelling and then a door slammed. Slim started laughing his ass off while Shy and I looked at him like he was crazy.

  “You just met the entertainment while Darcy, Crash, and Trojan are here,” he informs us between fits of laughter. “Wait until Wood is done doin’ his thing and you’ll really be laughin’.”

  Shy and I look at one another and I can’t wait to see what’s about to happen. Wood is a good guy and I hope he doesn’t get into too much trouble. I just wonder what the hell is going on to make all the commotion we just heard. I guess we’ll find out when the time is right though.

  “What are you having done today?” Shy asks me.

  “I think I just want a trim. Nothing too outrageous. What about you?”

  “I think I’m going to get a trim and some purple highlights added.”

  “Why purple?” Slim asks, very interested in what Shy’s doing.
