Chapter 4
I worked in the garage for most of the day fixing up the bikes for a ride this weekend. Finally, we are getting some kind of break from working our asses off to have a little fun.
We have a little place out near the lake that we share with some other charters. This is our big weekend out there and it will be the first weekend that Bella will get to see us when we’re laid back and partying. The kids always come; it’s a sort of family trip so she should have some kids her age to hang out with.
“Are we going home soon?” Tipping my head back with a cigarette hanging between my lips I let out a sigh. It was peaceful while she was inside.
“Let me just finish this up.” Looking back down, I continue to work on the bike that’s in front of me before I realize Bella is next to me.
“What are you doing to it anyways?” Kneeling down next to me, I look over at her in surprise. She never gave a shit about what I was doing before.
“Makin’ sure it’s all ready to ride. We don’t want any mishaps on the way up to the lake.” Tightening up a few loose bolts, I look around for my other wrench. Bella’s hand comes up passing it to me.
“How did you know what size I needed?” Narrowing my eyes at her, I wait for her to say Joey’s name so I can go off. In fact, I forgot all about that little shit.
“Mom had a lot of boyfriends.” Bella shrugs and I can see the sorrow in her eyes. It hurts me that she had to grow up that way.
“I’m sorry Bella.” I see her wanting to give in and talk to me but she closes back up like a book. Even though she’s been with me for a year, we don’t talk a whole lot about the time she was with her mom. I can only assume that’s because it was a living hell.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m hungry.” Bella stands back up just as I finish up. I pull the cigarette out of my mouth and blow out the smoke.
“Smoking’s bad for you,” she adds. There’s my Bella. The closed off smart-ass.
“I know. Tried to stop a few times. Better luck next time right?” Stomping it out under my foot, I walk towards the door with Bella behind me. Something is nagging at me and I can’t handle that shit. Turning to face her, she stops and looks up at me.
“What?” I shake my head with a slight smile. She is so much like me.
“You know you can talk to me. I mean, I don’t know much about girly shit but I am your dad.” Bella’s eyes soften as she nods her head. I feel a surge of pride inside of me. I feel like we are finally making a little headway here. I hate for her to be so closed off from me.
I turn and walk back towards the back doors just as Jada comes out smiling.
“You two want to eat? Having a little family bonding.” She winks as I laugh.
“You cook? You know Cher can’t cook,” I ask her with a laugh. Following behind her back inside the clubhouse, she laughs.
“You know damn good and well I didn’t let her touch anything.” I chuckle following her down the hall before I stop at my door.
“I’ll be there in a minute.” Jada nods before I open my door and head inside.
“What is this?” Bella follows me as I pull my shirt off and toss it on the bed before grabbing a clean one.
“This is my room here. Sometimes I stay over you know that.” Heading into the little bathroom, I wash my hands and face before Bella shows up in the doorway.
“Seems a little creepy to stay here.” Grabbing a towel I drag it over my face drying it before smiling at Bella.
“It’s not that bad. There is typically someone here all the time.” Tossing the towel on the sink, I walk past her and back into the room.
“What’s it like? Being in the club?” I knew she had questions but I was just hoping I didn’t have to answer that particular one. There’s still a part of my heart that doesn’t want her involved as much as I know she already is.
“It’s nice at times. You always know that someone has your back. It’s nice to know you have a family that cares about you.” Bella watches me like a hawk. It almost makes me uncomfortable.
“They seem nice.” Shrugging again, I smile at her.
“They can be. They can always be a bunch of drunken assholes,” I say playfully. I watch the smile pull across her face melting my heart. She is a beautiful girl if I do say so myself. I have to admit that I made one good thing in my life. That girl standing in front of me with a smile is my world now.
“Stop looking at me like that!” The smiles gone and my devil has returned.
“You’re one beautiful girl you know that.” Bella walks over slowly as if she’s slightly scared of me before hugging me. We aren’t very affectionate with each other which is something I want to change. I want to hug my daughter.
I wrap my arms around her and hold her close. My baby girl is finally back with me and I’m never letting her go again. There is nothing better than holding your child in your arms.
“Let’s go get you fed. Jada will be all over my ass if we don’t hurry.” Pulling back Bella smiles. It seems like a genuine smile at that. Maybe we are making some progress here.
Chapter 5
Dinner wasn’t too bad tonight. A few of the guys stuck around and they all met Bella. Joey the little shit face tried to make himself scarce while I was anywhere near her but I saw them sneak off into a corner to talk a few times. He’s damn lucky that Cher was there all night or I might have kicked his ass.
Back at home for the night I check all the doors and windows making sure little Miss Sneaky ass can’t get out of any of them before I head upstairs.
“Hey dad.” Bella calls to me from her room. I’m not sure if I will ever get tired of hearing her call me dad. It makes me proud and I feel like I have accomplished at least one good thing in life.
“Yeah baby girl?” Peeking in her door, I see her sitting on the bed with her laptop.
“I just wanted to say that I really had a good time today. I know I’m a pain in the ass but I really did like being at the club with you.” My breath catches in my throat. I have to cough away the bundle of nerves that lodged in there before I can answer her.
“I’m glad you liked it. Look, I tried to keep you away from it but the fact of the matter is you will never be away from it. Do I like you seein’ all the shit we do? Hell no but it’s gonna be a part of who you are. I just hope that you look at the good side of it, not the bad.” Listen to me! Spoken like a true goddamn father. Hell, I am damn proud of myself.
“I get it. I just wanted you to know that I had a good time.” Nodding at her, I run my hand over my head.
“Well, you will be havin’ a lot more good times. Night baby girl.” Her smile lights up my world.
“Night dad.” I walk out of her room closing the door behind as I smile like a fucking lunatic.
Bella and I haven’t talked a whole lot since she’s been here. Most days she didn’t even call me dad. It was either Tank or Josh, my real name. Hearing the word dad leave her lips so many times tonight did something to me.
“What are you smiling about?” My eyes roam over Cher’s body where she lies on my bed naked. Hell this night gets better and better for me.
Shrugging out of my cut, I lay it on the chair before pulling my shirt off.
“Bella callin’ me dad. She said she had a good time with me today.” Cher smiles up at me as I yank my jeans and boxers off, kicking my boots to the side.
“She seems like a good kid Tank. You did well with her.” Licking my lips, I climb up the end of the bed and straight between her legs. Pushing them apart, she gazes down at me.
“I’m about to do real well with this too.” My hands slide up her inner thighs stopping right before I get to that pretty pink wetness in front of me.
“Damn darlin’. Do you have any idea what this does to me?” Running my finger up and down between her folds, she arches her back up off the bed.
“Is that a yes?” Leaning in closer I inhale her scent. Fuck nothing in the world could compare to this. Not one damn thing.
/> Sticking my tongue out I slowly and deliberately drag it through the sweet slickness that waits for me. Twirling it around that little clit of hers she moans.
“Please don’t stop.” Her little cries go straight to my dick. That son of a bitch is rock hard and ready but her cries make it throb with need.
“You think I would stop?” Slipping a finger inside, her body clenches around it. Damn her!
“Ahh.” The little sounds she makes are fucking hot as hell. She makes me want to scream and I’m not even inside of her yet.
Sliding my finger in and out of her, I twirl my tongue around her clit a little bit more. I have plans for this little sexy ass of hers but not until I make her nice and crazy.
“Come on darlin’. Get all soakin’ wet for me.” I slide another finger inside of her before my mouth returns to its position. Little sucks here and there have her body trembling. I know what she wants and she isn’t going to cum until I’m buried balls deep inside of her. When she starts to clench around my fingers I pull them out quickly.
“Tank!” Chuckling at how she whines my name, I climb in between her legs.
“You think I was lettin’ you off that easy sweetheart?” Leaning in a brush my lips over hers.
I savor the taste of this woman like I may never get the chance again. You never know in life when something will be ripped away from you. I had that happen to me when Candy took Bella.
“Get on your stomach,” I growl. I bite her neck making her gasp. Her eyes pop open as she stares straight into my soul.
“You heard me.” Growling slightly she rolls over before, I grab the small piece of rope that lays on the nightstand.
“Hands behind your back.” When she doesn’t move, I run my hand over her ass before slapping it roughly. Cher jerks a little but does as she’s told this time.
“Good girl. I like it when you listen to me.” Leaning down I run my tongue over her back between her shoulder blades. Goose bumps form all over her flesh but I don’t stop. Her body writhes and wiggles as I torture her soft skin with my mouth.
Sitting back, I grab her hands and place them together behind her before tying them together.
“Not to tight?” See, I can be a nice guy! Cher shakes her head no, as I let my hands travel over her body.
I have fucked many girls in my time but I don’t think I have ever seen one as beautiful as Cher. Not just her looks either. There is something about this girl that has a hold over me. I knew it the first time I laid eyes on her when I was with Creed and Jada. She astounded me and every time she opens those sweet lips of hers, she does it again. Sliding my hands around her little waist, I pull her ass up in the air.
“Damn you should see how you look right now sweetheart. So open for me.” I lean down and suck the soft skin of her ass cheek into my mouth causing her to gasp loudly. I love the way her muscles tighten up from my touch.
Gripping her ass in my hands, I slide my dick closer to her.
“Who’s is this? Who does this pussy belong to?” Dragging my dick so close to her, she tries to push back but I move.
“Tank stop playing.” I chuckle before slapping her ass again.
“You’re goin’ to tell me who owns this pussy or you won’t get anything from me.” Teasing her a little, more she finally screams.
“You Tank! You own me! Now fuck me!” Hearing those words leave her mouth just seals the deal on what I’m about to do to her.
Thrusting into her, she screams and screams loudly. Hell she damn near busted my eardrums!
“Yeah, I knew it was mine.” Gripping her hips in my hands, I slam into her so rough and deep that my balls slap her clit. I know she likes it too. I can feel her wetness dripping all over.
“You like this?” Growling I push in harder. There is something about being inside of Cher that makes me want to push her to the limit. I want to test her, see how much of me she can handle.
“Fuck!” I watch her as she yanks at the rope that binds her hands together before I pull out and flip her in one motion.
“Untie me. I want to touch you.” Her eyes and mouth plead with me but I love the power I hold over her right now.
“Can’t. Not yet.” Pushing her legs apart roughly, her eyes silently beg. She can try that puppy dog look but it won’t get her anywhere.
Lifting her legs over my shoulders, I slide back inside of her.
“Take it darlin’. Take all of me.” Thrusting roughly into her, she screams. Her body tightens around me as mixture of pleasure and pain shoot through me. I have fucked this girl like crazy but I have never been so deep inside of her until this moment.
Cher’s head thrashes around, back and forth but my body is on fire.
Slamming into her a few more times my dick can’t take anymore.
“Make me fuckin’ cum baby. Come on.” Rolling my hips, I get nice and deep before I hit that sweet spot. Her body bucks up off the bed right before I cum so deep inside of her.
My hips jerk as I grip her tighter riding out the pleasure she gives me. Breathing heavily, I pull out of her rolling her to her side to untie her hands.
Bringing them around in front of her, I massage them gently to get the feeling back in them.
“I never thought I would like that.” Her head tilts to look at me. Flushed and beautiful.
“I’ll show you all kinds of tricks darlin’. Right now, sleep.” I lean in and kiss her gently before dropping down and pulling her naked body against me.
Damn this feels perfect.
Chapter 6
Working in the garage today seemed like an easy enough job but there is something nagging at me in the back of my mind. I try to shake it off but it won’t leave. Forcing myself into my work, I hear the side door open.
“Hey, we got church,” Torch hollers over at me as I grunt. I knew something was off, I could feel it! Tossing the wrench to the floor, I stand and grab a towel wiping my hands as I make my way to the door.
Shit hasn’t felt right around here in days but I couldn’t place what it was. I guess I’ll be finding out in a minute. I never did like having these damn feelings. Something bad usually came out of them.
I walk the long hallway through the club as my mind wanders. Days like this and with these feelings I get have me rethinking everything. Especially when I have Bella.
Shaking those thoughts away, I head into church behind a few other guys. My eyes instantly land on Creed’s as I make my way to the head of the table next to him.
The slight glint in his eye lets me know there is hell coming down. I always know by the look he gives me. Creed bangs the gavel on the table as we all take our seats and calm down. We all feel it; the tension in the room is thick.
“Got a call a few minutes ago about an incident out near River’s Creek.” Creed’s head drops down as he takes a deep breath. Shit, this is worse than I thought.
Looking back up he glances around the room. Creed is the best president we have ever had but when it comes down to the hard shit, he hates it. He doesn’t do death well after what happened to his best friend so many years ago. I can’t say that I blame him either.
“Dougie was killed this mornin’. We aren’t sure who it was or why. We need to take a ride over there though. Devil’s Spawns territory so we’re welcomed.” Creed looks around but his eyes land on me. I know he wants me to take this ride and I for damn sure will.
“I got this.” I nod at him as he nods back.
“Torch, you ride along incase anything pops up. Rich and Carter, you two head out east and see if you can dig up anything as to why Dougie was even out that way alone. I got a feelin’ they may know somethin’.” I look over at the guys as they both nod.
We don’t take deaths lightly, not when it was a good man that went down. With Sharp and Fly, they weren’t good guys so that was like an all-out party when they died. Nothing about them is missed. Dougie was different, a lot like me in ways. He has a family that he worked hard to protect from this shit. Just the same as
I do for Bella.
“Tessa know yet?” Looking back at Creed, he shakes his head. Shit, his wife doesn’t know yet and she will lose it when she does.
“I’m gonna head over there when you guys head out. I wanted to have some answers for her before I went but I know she’s probably losin’ her mind not hearin’ from him.” I nod my head as Creed raises the gavel bringing it back down on the table.
I wait while the other guys file out of the room. Watching the last of them go, I close the door behind them. There is something more going on here than he’s saying to the guys and I want to know what.
“Gettin’ closer to home. You don’t think Shadows are retaliatin’ do you?” Sitting back down next to Creed I watch his face for answers.
“Don’t know brother. Dougie knew not to ride alone after that shit. What the hell was he doin’ out and over there? I don’t get it.” I have to agree with him there. After that shit with the Shadows blew up all the charters knew not to be out alone. Granted Dougie lived out a ways much like I do, it still doesn’t make sense as to why he was over that way alone. That’s nowhere near their clubhouse
“Want to cancel out the lake?” Creed shakes his head before glancing back up at me.
“Nope. We have plans. Life has kicked our asses the last few months Tank. This club needs that time to unwind. We just need to handle this first.” I get what he’s saying. We have had a shitty couple of months and money is just now flowing again. We are nowhere near what we need to be but its heading that way.
With Sharp out of the head position we are finally getting the club going in the right direction. We are making progress and moving forward just the way we should be.
“I got you. The guys have been workin’ hard brother. You’re right they need a break. I’m gonna go get packed up. I’m goin’ to get Piper to look after Bella. Surely she can’t slip past his ass.” Chuckling I stand up as Creed laughs with me.
“Hell no. He hears every fuckin' thing. Look, Tank. If you want me to send someone else so you can stay with Bella, I can.” Shaking my head, that isn’t happening.
