Eden touched her stomach. Time.
In time she would get fuller. In time she would have a baby. In time she would be a mother and Trev would be a father.
Eden touched Trev’s hand.
His eyelids suddenly flickered and his eyes popped open. He slowly turned his head and grinned. “Hey, beautiful.”
“Trev. Oh, Trev.”
Eden stood and hurried to kiss him.
Trev wiggled his hand free and touched her stomach.
Eden gasped, feeling a surge through her body.
“Is it true?” Trev asked.
“Of course. I wouldn’t have lied.”
“We’re having a baby?”
“We’re having a baby,” Eden said. “You’re going to be an outlaw Daddy.”
“I like the sound of that.”
Eden kissed him again. “How do you feel?”
“Like shit,” Trev whispered. “Tired. Sore. Where’s… where’s Miller?”
“He’s right outside. Let me go get him.”
Eden hurried to the door. In the hallway she made the announcement that Trev was awake. Both charters erupted into cheers and all scrambled to the door. Eden couldn’t stop them as they all piled into the room to see their brother.
That’s when Eden spotted Jessa in the hallway, holding a coffee with one hand and Caine with the other.
“Are they always like this?” Eden asked.
“Always,” Jessa said. “Family.”
Eden touched her stomach for the billionth time. “Family.”
She went into the room and forced her way through the big bikers to get to her man. She stood next to the bed and grabbed Trev’s hand.
“You crazy asshole,” Blaine said. “You did it. How’s your cock? Still good?”
“It’s fine,” Trev said. “I’m sure it works fine.”
“Good,” Blaine said. “Because if it wasn’t… I’d be willing to takeover duties.”
“Fuck yourself,” Trev said and smiled.
“Is everything done?” Eden asked.
“Yeah,” Miller said. “Ripper’s done. He’s gone. We were able to make a call to the O’Nuall family and stop their crusade. Ripper had told them there was money and guns in our clubhouse that we stole. That’s how he was going to get us.”
“Fucking prick,” Nate said.
“How’d you get them to believe you?” Trev asked.
Gaige shook his head. “We let them search the clubhouse. Bunch of fucking Irish gangsters going through everything. That was hard. But they found nothing.”
“And we gave them Ripper,” Miller said. “We let them take what was left.”
Trev turned his head and pointed to Xavier, from the Daurian charter. “There’s a building up north that’s full of guns. Tell the O’Nuall family about it. That’s where he had weapons.”
“Will do, brother,” Xavier said.
“How is Jasper?” Trev asked.
“Fine,” Cash said. “He’s patched up too. Clean shots, man. You knew what you were doing. West stepped right in and stopped the bleeding.”
“Shit,” Hudson said. “The old bastard took the bullets out himself.”
“Good,” Trev said. “Make sure you give Jasper a chance, Miller. He could fix it all up there.”
Miller gave a nod. “We’ll talk about that later. Jasper is okay with being VP. We have something else in mind and we took a vote. We just need your vote on it. Not now though. You rest up.” Miller pointed to the door. “Come on, guys, give him and Eden some time.”
As they piled out, Blaine tugged at the curtain. “Just in case you want to check his cock.” He winked.
“Asshole,” Eden said.
They all left and Eden slowly sat on the bed next to Trev.
They stared at each other.
Trev slowly shook his head. “I don’t know what to say. You’ve done so much to me and for me, beautiful. And now you’re giving me a son.”
“Or a daughter,” Eden said.
“Right. Of course. Or a daughter.”
“I was scared, Trev. Prospects came back and said you were in trouble with that guy. I hated it. I hated it so much.”
Trev reached for Eden and pulled her down.
“No, Trev, I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Not having you hug me will hurt me,” Trev said. “Come here.”
Eden hugged Trev. She felt him jump and wince in pain but his arms were tight around her.
“Nothing happened,” Trev said. “We did it. I told you we would do it. There’s nothing left to worry about, okay? The Daurian charter will get a new President. Frelen will settle in. Life is good.”
“Yeah, life is good,” Eden said. She touched Trev’s leg. “Life is very good.” She moved her hand between his legs and squeezed.
“Ah, fuck,” Trev said. “Now that’s better than any medicine they can pump into my veins.”
“Oh yeah?” Eden asked.
She pulled at the hospital gown until she could reach under and touch Trev’s bare body with her bare hand. The second she touched his cock, her own body shivered with heat. He was half hard and one slow stroke brought him to a full stand.
Her hand eased up and down his shaft, loving his dick.
She leaned over Trev and stared into his eyes.
“I can’t wait until you can fuck me,” she whispered.
“Oh, beautiful,” Trev said. He touched her face. “Soon. I promise.”
They kissed and Eden started to stroke harder and faster.
Her body ached with a feeling she never thought possible.
True love.
__
thirty-one.
Trev thrust up, watching Eden’s beautiful tits hanging an inch from his face. He cupped her tits and fucked even harder. Eden had her hands on the headboard, unable to grab at his shoulders just yet. She pumped her hips back and forth as hard as she could, grinding that tight body of hers against his.
“Trev,” Eden purred over and over. “Fuck, Trev…”
He released his grip on her breasts and grabbed for her ass. He loved the way she fucked. Getting more comfortable with her body, not to mention the pregnancy sending her hormones into overdrive. She wanted it four times a day, minimum. And if Trev didn’t give it up when she asked, she’d just do it to herself. That was fun to watch once in a while.
When Trev started to come, he pulled Eden down on his body and felt himself releasing inside her. He grabbed for the back of her neck so he could kiss her. Their tongues collided with romantic fury as Trev’s cock throbbed inside her.
Eden gently bucked her hips, working with his body, over and over.
There was a knock at the door and Eden hurried to grab for the covers, pulling them up to cover themselves. She lowered her body down to his.
“Come in!” Trev yelled.
The door opened and Blaine stood there. “Damn. Look at you two go.”
“What do you want?”
“Meeting. Now.”
“Shit,” Trev said. “Okay.”
“Unless you want me to push it back,” Blaine said. “If you have room for one more in here…”
“Fuck off,” Eden called out and then giggled.
Blaine shut the door.
“Fuck,” Trev said. “I have to go to work, beautiful.”
“I know you do,” she said. She then kissed him. “But I’ll be waiting right here. Naked and wet.”
“Fucking hell. You’re out of control.”
“You make me out of control,” Eden said with a devilish grin.
Trev hated climbing out of the bed. He hated getting dressed. He hated leaving a beautiful woman like Eden left behind, while she was naked and ready to go again.
But duty called.
Leaving the room, Trev walked the hallway of the clubhouse and touched his shirt. He was still missing his leather cut. He fucking hated that feeling too. He thought Miller would have given it back at the hospital. But he didn’t. Even when they
got back from the hospital, Miller didn’t bring it up.
Somewhere inside Trev he wondered if they weren’t keeping the cut for good.
He walked into the conference room and was surprised to see not only the Frelen charter but also the Daurian charter.
Everyone was standing, looking at Trev.
“My guys sit,” Miller said. “Trev, you come here.”
Trev walked to the head of the table.
Miller put Trev’s leather cut on the table. “You’re looking for this, aren’t you?”
“Yeah,” Trev said.
That’s when Trev noticed his leather cut was stripped cleaned.
Outlaw style.
All his Back Down Devil MC Frelen patches were gone. They were in a pile on the floor next to Miller.
“I cut them off myself,” Miller said.
“What the hell is going on?”
“You went after our President,” Jasper said. “You came up to the charter and tried to take control. You ran your mouth, you acted fast, and you were way out of line. Fuck, you shot me twice.”
“I saved your ass,” Trev said. “He wanted you dead. Is this for real?”
Everyone at the table nodded.
“We took a vote,” Gaige said.
“There’s not enough room down here,” Miller said. “We’ll refill Griffin’s seat with someone from the charter.”
“You fucking guys voted me out?” Trev asked.
“No choice,” Shay said. “Look at all that happened.”
“The way you act,” Nate said.
“You don’t belong in a chair at a table,” Jasper said. “We all voted on it, Trev.”
“Why the fuck would your charter vote on it?” Trev asked.
Miller put a hand to Trev’s back. “Because… you belong at the head of a table, Trev.”
“What?” Trev asked.
Jasper stepped forward and walked the length of the table. “Trev, you’ve been voted in as President of the Back Down Devil MC Daurian charter.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Trev asked.
Jasper then tossed a handful of new patches to the table. They were the name and logo for the Daurian charter.
“And this,” Miller said, “is from me…”
He grabbed Trev’s hand and slapped the President’s patch to it.
“Miller…”
“You deserve this,” Miller said. “The way you handled all of this. You’ve proven yourself as a leader long before you came down here.”
Trev looked at Jasper. “Why not you, brother?”
“We stand by you,” Xavier said. “President.”
The Daurian charter started to cheer.
The guys at the table started to pound their fists.
Trev didn’t know what to think or feel.
He just looked at the patch.
President.
Fucking President.
He looked at Miller.
“It’s the right thing to do,” Miller said. “Between you and me, Trev, we’ll keep these charters safe and running smooth. This MC is stronger than it ever has been before.”
“Trev,” Jasper said. “We’ve got all the intel on rival crews and gangs. The PD. Everything you’ll need. The first thing will be to clean up all of Ripper’s messes.”
“Which we’ll do together,” Miller said. “Get to the bottom of all these truths. But before that…” Miller reached down and brought out a bottle of whiskey. “We drink to the new President!”
The room exploded.
A second later, the door opened and prospects came in. They brought shot glasses for everyone. One prospect grabbed Trev’s leather cut and patches and went to work.
Miller poured the shots and they all drank, cheering and celebrating.
Then the room got quiet.
The leather cut was on the table, ready to go.
Miller grabbed it and held it out. He nodded and Trev turned to have it put on him.
“Not me,” Miller said. “Her.”
Eden entered the conference room. She looked at Trev, smiling, tears in her eyes.
“You knew this?” he asked.
“I had wind of it,” she said.
Eden then took the leather cut and put it on Trev.
And just like that, Trev was now officially a patched in member of the Back Down Devil MC Daurian charter… and their President.
He touched the patch and looked to all the men in the room.
He slipped a hand around Eden’s waist, all the way around so he could touch her belly.
It had all come together.
The guys were drinking, still celebrating Trev.
Jessa came into the room, holding Caine.
Beck burst into the room and screamed Daddy! running to Miller.
Trev looked at Eden. He kissed her softly.
His first duty as President was simple. Ask Eden to marry him and then give her the wedding of her dreams.
Trev then looked up at the ceiling and thought about Griffin. He thought about the years running outlaw. The years with The Lost Men. The way time did whatever the fuck it wanted, no matter what.
But there was one thing greater than time. One thing that would always win the battle against time.
Trev looked around the room again and understood it.
It was about family.
And that’s what Back Down Devil MC was.
Family.
****
(In Daurian)
Trev surveryed the lot. He had a cold beer in his hand. In his other hand held Eden’s hand. They were getting settled into a new place, a place where they could raise their child and become a family. Of course, Trev would have his own room in the clubhouse that stood behind him.
“What are you thinking?” Eden asked.
“What a ride,” Trev whispered. He looked at Eden. “What are you thinking?”
“I have to pee,” she said and grinned. “I always have to pee.”
Trev laughed. He pulled Eden close and kissed her.
She walked away and Trev finished his beer.
Jasper took Eden’s spot except he didn’t hold his hand.
“Prez,” he said.
“That’s going to take some time to get used to. Hearing that title.”
“Better hurry,” Jasper said. “We’re all ready for you to call the table.”
“Okay,” Trev said.
Trev had been talking to each individual member for days now, trying to gather all he could about the charter, the people, the town, everything.
The scary part of it all was the truth Ripper took to his grave. Whatever deals he had going that nobody else knew about.
“It’s quiet,” Jasper said.
“I don’t like it.”
“Why not, Prez?”
“They always tell you it’s quietest before the storm…”
It stayed quiet for another minute.
That’s when Trev heard the rumbling. It wasn’t thunder, but it sounded pretty damn close to it.
Over the horizon came a group of motorcycles. They looked like they were popping right out of the horizon. Maybe right out of hell.
“Ah, fuck,” Jasper said. He stuck his fingers into his mouth and whistled.
Behind Trev the clubhouse emptied out.
“I’m really sorry, Prez,” Jasper said. He took out his gun.
“What’s going on here?” Trev asked.
“Those guys coming down the road? That’s our rival crew.”
“Why are they here?”
“Looking for money or guns,” Jasper said. “We better get ready.”
Trev looked back and saw Eden standing in the doorway. She looked scared already. She put a hand to her belly.
All Trev could do was remain like stone.
This was the life he chose.
And nobody… rival or not… was ever going to threaten his club or his family. In other words: it was time to take his place as President and fight.
Tha
nk you so much for taking this wild ride with me!
BDD MC was supposed to come to an end after Blaine’s book. But the reader response was just so great I had to write more. I had to tell Trev’s story. From the time we met him almost two years ago as he ran outlaw with The Lost Men… I just knew there was something to tell there.
Well… you just finished the story. And I hope you realize what’s coming next. I am officially signed up for another charter of BDD MC! And, yes, Trev will be the President of Daurian charter!
That series will be launching very soon… and I can promise you this: The stories are hotter. The action is wilder. The covers are intense. And the men you’ll meet are like nothing you’ve ever read before.
So… just like I did waaay back in OUTLAW REVENGE… I’ll ask the same question: ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE RIDE?
I truly hope you enjoyed reading RUTHLESS HOLD as much as I enjoyed writing it!
