Ace and Jules’s house should be done next week sometime. Ces and our home will be done soon after that. Benny said being that they were the same model, just flipped, he worked on them together, making it easier for him and his guys. I can’t wait to see it and live in our own house.
I also can’t wait to see who the next fool in love is to build a home out there. I ask Gator if he and Sam ever would, and he said he’s working on it, on her. I know their backstory, I’m one of the few brothers here that does, and I say if they made it this far, nothin’ should hold them back any longer. We’ll see, only time will tell, right?
Ces and I talk for a while, and I keep my secret close to the vest on what I have planned. I know he hates it when I do this, but he’ll get over this one. I’m doin’ this cause I love him and want this for us, he’ll see that and be fine.
Then we head down to the bar. I need a drink after today and we should act normal. At least for another couple of hours. The guys agreed to keep an eye on Chrissy till later, then corner her and lock her up.
First, Ace wants Jules out of the Clubhouse before the prospects snatch Chrissy. Beast invited us all to dinner, so Ces and I will wait in the bar for Ace and Jules. We don’t want them anywhere near this until we speak to them. The guys have questions for them about earlier. I do too, but not like theirs, I want to know about that guy.
This way Chrissy doesn’t know they’re involved until last minute. She’ll be shocked to shit when she sees them walk into the shed to exact their revenge on her.
After a couple of drinks, we see Ace and Jules enter the room. Ces runs to Jules, taking her in his arms. As I follow him over to them my phone buzzes with a text from Beast. Dinner just arrived. I tell Ace we’re ready to leave.
We grab a golf cart and ride over to their house.
During dinner, the guys and I talk to Bella, Jules, and Ces about earlier. After getting the answers they desire, we move on to more about what’s gonna happen tomorrow. They seem... reserved like how we get before we end a life. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, or if I even like it. Ces is like a whole other person when it comes to death, which would make him a good asset to the Club.
We hang out and bullshit until it’s time for them to get the boys to bed. When we enter the Clubhouse, the bar is in full swing, celebrating. Chrissy is in the shed, hanging from the rafters and never saw them comin’. The four us head to our respected rooms to do our own celebrating for the night.
Tomorrow is a new day and will most likely be an emotional one for all parties involved.
Jess and I spend a couple of hours wrapped up in each other’s bodies, then we pass out for the night.
The next morning, we have breakfast with everyone, and Gator talks to us before he will allow Bella, Jules, or I to enter the shed.
Bella starts off with her punishment on the bitch, and we all stand back and watch. I take Ces’ hand in mine and feel him shaking with rage and anticipation. He couldn’t take his anger out on Antonio when we had him in the shed, only I did, for both of us. Believe me, when I say, I gave it to that asshole really good for hurting my heart, Ces. So, this is his chance for some retribution on someone that hurt him and the ones he loves.
My guy is all heart, but he has a mean streak and will fight to the death for what he believes in. I’m so proud to call him mine and have him at my side.
We stand back and wait until Beast stops Bella. In the meantime, Ace escorts Jules out of the shed. When Bella is done, Beast takes her home and leaves us.
Gator comes up to me. “You’re up, unless you want me to find Jules?”
“I think that would be best. Let Jules go, this way when I’m done, I can just finish her, and we can all put this behind us.” He nods, agreeing, and goes to get Jules while Jess and I head out for some air. He’ll find us when she’s done.
Chapter 9
Cesare
Jess leads me out for a walk down by the lake. We stay silent and just hold hands, keeping our connection. We walk for about an hour, and I think of how I want this to play out. I have so much rage inside me, that bitch will be glad I’m ending her, today. She deserves so much more, but I don’t have the strength to drag this on any longer.
I want to move on to my spectacular future that awaits me with Jess. Our new home, our marriage, my business with my loveys, and maybe even a family of our own. Most of all, being part of every aspect of Jess’s life. No secrets for my safety. I want to be a part of this world with him, to have his back when it gets dangerous, and it will. I feel a war brewing and they are going to need my help.
In the middle of my thoughts, Gator comes looking for us. It’s time to be done with this shit. We follow him back to the shed. The guys are all there except for Ace and Beast, for now.
Before I make my way over to the traitorous bitch, Jess stops me.
His lips press against mine in a soft, quick kiss in front of the guys. He doesn’t give a shit what they think or has to say anymore. He knew I needed his lips, his calm before I started. The guys grunt, but we ignore them.
I pull him in for a hug and whisper in his ear, “Maybe you should leave, I don’t know if I want you to see me this way.” I pull back to look into his eyes and can see he’s taken back by my words. I’m about to become a monster, and it’s a side of me I never wanted him to see. I may be soft, like my loveys say, only towards them, you piss me off and I have a hidden side that comes out to play. You think the shit Antonio did to me was bad, no I can be worse. And I’m about to be with this bitch.
“Babe,” he whispers back in my ear. “Nothin’ I see you do to this bitch is gonna change the way I feel about you.” He places his hand over my heart, letting me feel his warmth.
Jessie’s eyes say it all, right down to his soul. He will love me no matter what I do in this room, and that gives me a new strength. I need to tear this bitch up, and that’s what I intend to do.
With one last kiss, I leave him and head over to the torn-up skank. She looks horrible already, and I don’t feel shit for her. I stand in front of her broke ass and stank ass smell.
“So, you wanted to play with the big boys, huh? How’s that playing out for you now?” I ask her low with a sadistic chuckle.
For the next hour or so, I go to town on her face and body. I strip her completely naked, beat her, cut her up, taking a body part off here and there. It’s gruesome and a bit overkill, I know, but she has to pay for her sins, and the monster inside me is out for blood. Her screams are music to my ears, and I can’t stop. She will be taking her last breath here today, and her body will be six feet under or burned before the night is over. What I do to her in this private shed is all for me. Every cut, every finger, every toe... and every goddamn scream are all for me. My fury towards all the men that wronged me, and my girls. For taking the only parents that loved me away and breaking up our family. The only consolation from all the pain and heartache is we have a new family to love, and we all found our one true loves, our unicorns.
I’m deep in my zone, and I don’t hear Jess approaching me until his hand is on my shoulder. That’s also when I feel how much I’ve been shaking. I turn and am immediately drawn into his light green eyes, the color of a peridot stone. I freeze, instantly lost in him, and the knife I’m holding in my right-hand falls to the floor with a clanking sound. The pliers in my left hand follow with a louder clanking noise. Time stands still, and no one is in the room with us. It’s just us in our own little world until Jess speaks.
“Babe,” he says in a soft, low, sweet tone as he takes my hands in his. I’m heaving out of breath and his look and words are not helping. I need him inside me, I’m so hard right now.
“You did good. She’s gone. Let’s head back to our room and get you a shower before dinner.” I’m too lost to speak, I give him a small nod and follow his lead on this one.
We make it back to our room, and the second the door is locked, I attack him.
“Fuck me, sweets. Fuck me so fucking hard
I don’t know where I’m at, or what day it is for weeks,” I beg him. He gives me what I want. Starting in the shower and then we moved to our bed. We get so lost in our passion, we don’t even make it to Bella’s for dinner. We just fuck all night and morning, finally passing out when the sun is rising.
If it wasn’t for the new lube I found for us, we would have both been hurting the next day we fucked so much. I found a water-based numbing one that works great. After the poundings we gave each other, it was well needed. That was definitely one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
****
I didn’t think things could get any crazier around this Club, but they have. The next three weeks have proved it. I feel like I’ve been running around like a chicken with his head cut off. After the Chrissy thing was taken care of, a few days later we moved Ace and Jules into their house.
Once we all had them settled in and had dinner, we left them for the night and didn’t see them the rest of the weekend. Their house was all unpacked by the time we left them, that’s one of the best things about having a large extended family. Some may say too many hands in the pot spoils the batch, but in this case, it’s very welcomed.
Jules and Ace’s house is the same model as Jess and mine, the only difference is that we flipped it. So, all the rooms are on the opposite side of the house. It’s a standard model Benny said and a perfect fit for all of us. Our homes are 5-bedrooms and 4 ½ bathrooms, a bit smaller compared to Bella and Beast’s 7-bedroom, 6 ½ bathroom house with a safe room, man cave and pool. The extra guestrooms in our homes are for our growing families and space for the brothers on lockdowns. When the other Clubs join us for lockdowns or even parties, the extra space will come in handy.
A few days after their move, the Club had Church with all the patched members. They do this once a month with all the members and every week just the officers and table members meet.
“Babe, where are you?” Jess says coming into our room. I’m in the closet deciding what shirt to wear before meeting up with Jules to check out our online store and sketch some new clothes for our maternity line. A while back, Jess suggested we start an online store, he mentioned it to Throttle, since he’s the resident computer expert. Throttle offered to design it for us and set up the website. After speaking to the girls and our men, we took him up on it. Beast wants Bella home with the boys, and Ace wants Jules home too, at least for now.
It’s been up for a month and is doing phenomenal. Our maternity line is even a hit, and we only showcased a few items. Jules and I have been working our fingers to the bone to come up with more. Gigi even presented a few of her designs to us and we sent them off to our designer to send us samples. That girl has a knack for design.
“I’m in the closet, sweets. I’ve got to meet Jules soon,” I shout so he can hear me. He enters the room and gives me a once over ogling my naked chest. My muscles aren’t as defined as his, but I look good without a shirt. My tatts that are mostly hidden can be seen this way.
“Damn, babe, if we had time I would fuck you, you look too good to be standing there with no shirt. I’m hard, and I haven’t even kissed you,” he says and grabs ahold of the nape of my neck and pulls me to him smashing our lips together. We both moan in each other mouths as his tongue explores mine.
All too soon, he’s breaking our kiss, leaving me hard and waiting for him to be inside me. The lust and frustration in his eyes tell me he feels the same. Fuck, why did he have to touch me, now I’m gonna have a large bulge in my pants when I leave our room?
“You’re gonna owe me. You got me so fucking hard, and I have to leave,” I rumble frustrated, grabbing a shirt off the hanger, not even looking to see what one I chose and throw it over my head.
“If it’s any consolation, the guys are gonna see my hard cock pressed against my zipper when we walk into Church. You better be ready for the shit they are gonna give me, well, us, about it,” I laugh, and he takes my hand in his. I almost missed his words cause his touch distracted me.
“Wait, did you just say when we walk into Church?” I’m confused, what is going on here?
“Yeah, Gator ordered me to bring you to Church.” Why, I’m not a member? I’m only an ol’ man, and we are not allowed in their meeting room. Is this a prank or something for what I did to that bitch?
I’ll follow orders, though, without asking questions. I know Jess wouldn’t let anything happen to me.
“Okay, let’s go.” He leads the way downstairs and to the meeting room. The room is full of all the members, some sitting and some standing. I see Val, Lorenzo, Dusty, Torch, and Red are in the back of the room, behind Gator and Ace standing against the wall. All the guys are staring at us, and immediately my hard-on softens.
“Ah, Cesare, thanks for joining us. Why don’t you come stand over here with the boys?” Gator says and points to the five men behind him. I do as I’m ordered and go stand between Val and Lorenzo.
Gator calls Church to order, and I watch, taking everything in.
“Number one on the agenda for today is voting in our prospects and a new member. Y’all know what Cesare did for us with Chrissy, and I propose we vote him in as a full patched member. I know it’s highly unorthodox to do this, but I think Cesare proved himself many times in that shed. Those of you that had the pleasure of seeing him in action will understand where I’m comin’ from,” Gator says, and a ruckus starts in the room from the guys.
He bangs the gravel a few times to shut them up. The room goes quiet, and everyone gapes at me, making me extremely uncomfortable.
“I second Gator’s motion. Ces went above and beyond for our Club and didn’t ask for a damn thing in return. He showed true loyalty to our brotherhood that he didn’t have to. Yeah, Ryder is his ol’ man, but that still didn’t mean he had to do what he did. So, I vote to bypass prospecting and make him a full patched member of our Club,” Ace says, then turns to me. “You are my true brother like every man in this room. The closest thing I have to a blood brother, and I would lay my life on the line for you.”
Wow, I know Ace and I have come a long way since I arrived here, but hearing him say that in front of all his brothers is... touching. Jules would be thrilled to hear his words too.
“I third the motion. Ces has shown what a true brother is with his loyalty to us. He’s been family since he stepped through our doors,” Beast says. He and I have been good since I got here and get closer as time goes on. I feel like I’ve known him as long as I’ve known Bella’s brothers.
“Well, without sounding like an asshole, I have to say Nay on this one. He’s not my family, and I feel you guys are being partial cause of your ol’ ladies,” Bear says from the back of the room. He’s not a fan of me or Jess for that matter. He was the first brother to attack Jess after he claimed me. He’s a fucking asshole.
“I vote Yay. I saw him in that shed, and I’m not family to him in any way,” Snake says and Throttle, Shadow, Hawk, Gunner, Skull, Wolf, Cowboy, Iceman, Bull, and a few others vote the same. Out of the thirty-some men in the room, even my Jess, over twenty votes to have me. Majority rules, and Gator votes me in. I’m in stunned shock when Jess comes up to me with my kutte and helps me put it on. Without a care in the world, he grabs me by the nape of my neck and draws me to him for a congratulation kiss.
The rest of the meeting is a blur. I do know they voted Val, Lorenzo, Dusty, Torch, and Red in and hold off on bringing in any new prospects since they have two for now. Then after a few minor Club issues, Ace announces he will be adding us to the runs, and Gator calls the meeting adjourned.
Jess takes me out to a private dinner to celebrate. It’s the middle of the week, so things are quiet in town. We go to our favorite Mexican restaurant and have a great dinner with a few margaritas. This is the calm before the chaos.
This weekend we’re moving into our beautiful new house. Our house on the left of Bella’s, next to the double attached house Beast had built for Aunt Cindy and Dusty. He wanted his mom to have her own space,
and Gigi wants Dusty close. He’s a glutton for punishment, that one. He can’t say no to his girls, including his mom, and I’m sure it will be the same with his boys. Bells’ husband is a good egg like all the men in our lives. They may all look mean and tough, and they are, but don’t let them fool ya, they have the biggest hearts you will ever see.
The following weekend, on Friday, we are heading to the courthouse to make things official, before heading out for the weekend to celebrate. I can’t wait to marry the man of my dreams and have a husband, something I never saw possible in my old life.
Jess asked me what I wanted to do about our lasts names. He gave me three options, one: I could keep mine. Two: I could take his, legally, or three: he could take mine, legally. I asked him what he wanted, and he said shyly that he would love for me to take his name. I was all onboard for that because my last name and family mean nothing to me. To have his name is an honor to me, and I was elated he felt the same way.
Life is about to change for all of us. Best of all, soon I’ll be Cesare Theodor Blackwell, husband to the most handsome, loving man I have ever known. And the man that will forever own my heart and soul.
Chapter 10
Ryder
Today is the day, and I have the biggest surprise for Ces; a wedding celebration to outdo all weddings. He thinks we’re going to the courthouse and having an officiant perform a quick service. Then we’re heading to a small cabin I borrowed from a friend for the week. Well, the last part is true, the first part, not so much. We are getting married today, just not there, we are doing it here over by the lake. The other side of Ace’s house is still empty land, so the ceremony and reception will be in Ace’s backyard.
