— EDDIE —
A soft hand slides over my abs and it feels so damn good, I don’t want to open my eyes and ruin it. I want to keep relishing in the intimacy. Her lips trail a path down to where her fingers are now wrapped around my dick and suddenly, I do want to open my eyes when I feel her mouth covering the tip.
I take the blanket in hand and throw it back in one go, exposing Gracy sucking my dick and it’s a beautiful sight. Her mouth goes up and down my length and it takes everything in me not to grab her head and thrust my hips up from the mattress.
But there’s no need because her tiny head is bobbing, swallowing as she takes me deep while her hand is pumping up and down. My fingers travel up her back until they disappear into her hair, I fist it to keep her head in place.
I can’t take it anymore, that mouth of hers is heaven’s deadliest sin and it’s burning so damn hot, it needs to be extinguished by my cum. My head tips back and a low groan rips from my body as I empty myself.
My heart is running like crazy and I have to take deep breaths to get all the air my body needs inside me. “Fuck, that was fantastic. Mind and cock blowing. I don’t think I’ve ever started a day quite as fine as this.”
She crawls up my body and places her cheek on my chest. I wrap my arms around her and keep her close. It takes a few minutes to catch my breath and relish in the way I feel complete to be in this bed with her. My old lady. Sunset, sunrise, the whole fucking universe complete with a future within our reach.
I hate thinking about the stuff Clemente and I took care of yesterday and yet it’s a step forward in putting things behind us. The path to justice isn’t always paved with shiny stones. It’s a dirt road with bumps and holes but even if it’s long and bumpy...it’s the destination one longs for. And it’s in sight and just the mere thought makes me smile. Not as bright and satisfying as holding this woman, I can tell you that.
Rolling over, I pin her underneath my body as I hover over her. “So. Fucking. Beautiful. And all mine,” I whisper.
Her long black hair is sprawled out over the sheets, the morning sun highlighting the blueish glow. And when my eyes connect with hers it’s an open window to her emotions. Fierce, welcoming, reaching out to entwine with mine.
“I’ve never felt with my whole being for a woman the way you connect with me.” The words flow out naturally and without thinking.
The way her face changes with a reflection of the mirrored admiration we share for each other makes me aware what we have is real and only the beginning. I want to tell her so much more but it’s too fast, too soon. So, instead I slide down her body, placing kisses as I go until I’ve reached the place I want to worship for a long time to come.
Glancing up, I see Gracy is on her elbows, biting her lip with her eyes openly displaying the lust for what’s to come. I keep our gaze connected as my tongue lazily slides from ass to clit and when my mouth completely covers that bundle of nerves and I start to flick it, that’s when our connection breaks because her head tips back as a sexy moan falls from her lips.
Her taste is addictive and she completely surrenders to the pleasure I give her. Well, maybe not completely because both her hands slide into my hair and she starts to interfere by guiding my head exactly where she wants my tongue. She isn’t shy in participating and those little instructions, “There...more...I need...yes!” followed by little mewls and moans are a real turn-on.
I gently shake my head to give her a nice stimulation with my scruff and that’s when her taste intensifies. Her pussy starts to ripple as I spear her with my tongue. She screams my name as her juices flow freely. My dick is harder than ever and all I’m thinking about is burying myself deep.
Crawling up her body I thrust my tongue inside her mouth and simultaneously slide my dick deep inside her convulsing pussy. She gasps while her arms circle my body, her nails biting down in my skin. I’m not ashamed to call myself a madman at this point because my dick is pounding away as I’m trying to chase my orgasm that’s almost within reach.
Bliss. Utter bliss is what the two of us create. I hook my arm around her leg to open her up some more and shift my hips for a slightly different angle. Fuck. Her nails trail a path up my spine and her pussy clamps down as if it’s never going to let go. My dick surrenders and cum jets out in hard streams as if my whole body is fueling its energy.
I’m unable to keep my weight off her as I crash down onto her in utter exhaustion. There’s a grunt and a light giggle breathing down my neck and I fucking relish in it. Shifting slightly, I take her with me as I turn.
My dick slides out of her pussy and it’s then I realize, “Shit. No condom.”
Her eyes grow wide. “We didn’t use birth control.”
I guide her head back to my chest. “Can we talk about this later? I’m still trying to catch my breath and I don’t want to ruin the moment. Besides, we’re in this together and the possibility of pregnancy is peanuts compared to the problems we’ve been facing since day one, don’t you think?”
“I can’t think,” she squeaks. “And I can’t believe you’re this calm. Don’t guys freak out over getting some girl pregnant?”
Now this grabs my attention and I give her a fierce look. “You’re not some girl, Gracelynn. You’re my woman. My old lady. My fucking future and that might entail kids down the line or not, a future isn’t solid but we fucking are.”
Her lips slightly part and a small, “Oh,” slips past them.
“Yeah, oh,” I grunt. “Now settle back down, we’re doing the whole cuddle and afterglow shit.”
A smile tugs her lips as she snuggles against my chest. Damn. I keep saying this, but she feels so good. And I need to relish in this moment together before I tell her what went down yesterday and what’s going to happen in the days to come. I also need to decide if I give her the basics, tell her all, or remain silent. But that’s also something to worry about later.
For now, it’s the warmth and connection the both of us wrap ourselves with. And I have to say, the possibility of having a blood tie with this woman for life doesn’t sound like a bad thing. I’ve never thought about kids but this woman makes me crave a lot of new things I’d like to explore with her beside me.
But, first things first. I thought I could enjoy a carefree moment but reality is knocking on our door and it’s better to have her prepared. “I met your biological father yesterday.”
She pushes herself up and is staring down at me. “You did?”
“Yeah, he wanted to be there when Clemente and I dealt with Spencer. He wants to meet with you again real soon too. Though, you know him but it’s different now that the both of you know he’s your father.” I hope with this little piece of information she doesn’t bother to question me about Spencer.
“Stephano wants to see me?” she whispers.
I let my knuckles brush her cheek. “Yeah, darlin’, and he seemed quite anxious too. From what I heard and witnessed last night, the man loved your mother very much.”
She places her head back on my chest and says, “I wish things worked out differently for them. It would have made my life a whole lot different too, I’m sure.”
“Never dwell on the past, Gracelynn. Even more now that we’ve found a future together. Positive stuff up ahead, and one thing at a time, that’s how we’re handling everything thrown in our path. Today we are going to pick up my mother. I’m going to make sure there’s someone with her to take care of her.”
“I could stay with her,” Gracy says.
I kiss the top of her head and reluctantly say, “I wish I could stay with her too but there are things I need to deal with and for now she doesn’t have a spotlight on her. Keeping her safe by not staying near her is our best option for now. A prospect and a brother will be in her bungalow at all times, while you’re staying at my side.”
“I have to swing by my boat later today. Can we fit that into your tight schedule?” she says mockingly.
I have her pinned underneath my body with my next breath. “If I can fit my dick into your tight pussy, everything else is smooth sailing.”
She gasps when my dick rubs her clit. Feeling her underneath me makes my dick spring to life for the third time today.
“Do you feel what you do to me? My body craves you so damn much it’s ready for you at every turn.”
She silences me with a kiss and the way she’s clawing my back and wraps her legs around me, there are no words necessary to waste our thoughts on; our bodies are communicating quite nicely as it is.
Sliding home is a magical feeling. The thought of coming inside her pussy bare, knowing the risk of adding to our future is an enhanced exhilaration. And this time there’s no place for raw and fast, it’s intense and gentle. Between the pace of our heartbeats and the sexual tension is the difference between having sex and making love. The sex is there, our love is building, and our future is wide open for the taking.
But first we’re taking our pleasure simultaneously and we are making sure to enjoy our time, to treasure the moment. Though, soon enough we have to leave the bed and hit the shower. We decide it’s safer to take one separately because the mere thought of having her naked and available is making my dick hard and I’ve taken her pussy twice already.
No reason to make her so damn sore she won’t be able to take me later tonight. Yeah, I’m not afraid to admit she’s my new addiction. But like I said, we need to focus on the things we need to handle today. Though getting dressed while shooting heated glances at each other sure spices up my day.
“We’re picking up Maggie, making sure she’s settled in and then we’re heading back here, or? What’s the plan? Because I wasn’t kidding when I mentioned I need to check on my boat,” Gracy says as she picks up Finn and gives him a quick kiss.
I stroll over and pet him over the head. “Clemente is supposed to message me. There are things going down today we need to handle. I’m not even sure if it will be today or tomorrow, they still haven’t been able to track down Rush so it all depends on when they find out where he’s staying. I hate the uncertainty but it’s unavoidable.” I place a kiss on her forehead and grab my leather cut from the chair in the corner and put it on.
The room we’re staying in is one of ten small rooms here at the clubhouse. There are about eight single brothers living here and the rest have their own house or apartment where they live.
My father used to live with my mother at the estate and I had both, a room here and a bungalow. The rooms here have just the basic necessities such as a king size bed, a chair along with a desk, a closet, and a separate bathroom. We all share the same kitchen.
There used to be a schedule of who cleans up the kitchen on what day, but I haven’t seen any list, and the kitchen is a mess. So, I guess little things like that need my attention too. I make a mental note to discuss this in church. I have to smile at the minor necessary point of discussion and yet it’s a way better thing to deal with than the shit we’re wrapped in now.
The construction company my father owned was passed onto my mother and Yates has been keeping it afloat along with a few of the other brothers. Something else to discuss once things settle down, because eventually I will be back to working alongside my brothers.
My phone rings and when I check I see it’s Clemente calling. “Yeah?”
“They found him...and the net is closing around Rush. I’m coming over in about two hours. I have a virtual meeting planned with my uncle in about twenty minutes, and I’m not sure how long it will take me to talk things through.”
“Take your time, Clemente. We’re heading out to bring my mother home. Shoot me a text when you’re headed my way.”
“Will do. Say hi to Gracy for me,” Clemente says before he disconnects the call.
“Clemente says hi,” I grumble and it makes Gracy smile.
Clemente’s words echo through my mind and I now realize what he meant. Fuck. Spencer. We thought it would take them some time to find Spencer, I guess that ship sailed.
“Everything okay?” Gracy asks. “You seemed to mentally drift away to another place.”
I shake my head. “It’s nothing, come on, we’re heading to the hospital and we’re taking Finn with us. He can wait outside with Rhett while we’re getting my mother. Then Finn can stay with her at her house so she’ll have some extra company.”
“You’re right.” Gracy starts to grab Finn’s things. “She loves it when Finn is sitting next to her. Can’t Rooney come with us instead of Rhett? Or is Rhett staying with her today?”
“I haven’t discussed it with Yates yet. I know most guys from way back but I’ve been away for a long time and don’t exactly know their routine. Yates also handles the construction company where most of the guys work and as you know Rooney has his own company thrown into the mix too.” I rub my jaw and think things through. “But I’m guessing it’s Ash and either Rhett or Rooney. Maybe Hudson but I know he had three days off and he used to work one week nonstop and then have three days off and then a week nonstop again. He needs a routine in his life so I’m pretty sure he’s unavailable.”
“Your mother used to be an old lady, I’m pretty sure she can handle any biker you team her up with.” She gives me a smile and says, “Ready when you are.”
I hold the door for her and we head out to the main room in search of Yates. Turns out I was right about Hudson and Rooney. So, it’s Rhett who is going with us while Yates needs to run out to a project that needs his attention. Yates assured me he’ll be back within two hours if needed. We take the car as Rhett and Ash follow on their bikes behind us.
We’re at the estate within the hour and I can clearly see my mother is glad she’s home when she starts to cheerfully talk with Finn. I’m still worried, though. And I’m glad she agreed to a checkup in a few days because the papers she discovered might have set this off, but it’s good to keep an eye on her health.
My mother grabs my arm and ushers me into the kitchen. There’s a large safe in the pantry and she opens it and takes out her leather cut. She holds it out for me to take and when I do, I unfold it to check the back.
The two merged skulls with left and right, the rose and the dagger keeping everything pinned is in the middle while on top it says, “Property of,” and on the bottom it states, “Barhamer.”
“It shouldn’t be kept in a safe, it should be passed on,” my mother says, her voice filled with emotion.
“I wish he was here to see this moment,” I grunt, not needing to mention my father’s name because my mother knows damn sure who I’m talking about.
“It wasn’t meant to be, son.” She swallows hard and adds, “When the time comes, I will see him again, but for now he would want me to enjoy the sunset and sunrise while I know he’s there with me in my heart.”
“That’s right, momma,” I croak and pull her into a hug.
“Everything okay?” Gracy’s worried voice flows through the kitchen.
“Oh, yes, child,” my mother says as she walks over to Gracy and cups her face. “I knew you were special the day I met you. And it makes me very happy you two are together now. And remember, grandbabies. I’m not getting any younger.”
“Ma!” I snap, exactly how I did at the hospital when she said the same thing, but at the same time satisfaction flows through my veins knowing there’s a slight chance she might get her wish sooner rather than later.
My mother steps back and it allows me to hold out the leather cut for Gracy to see. Her fingers go to her lips and her eyes fill up. Her gaze meets my mother’s and she nods approvingly, giving Gracy a tiny push so she moves to stand in front of me.
“Turn around,” I grunt, my voice raw with the loaded emotions.
My father gave his old lady this cut. He had it made special for everyone to see who my mother belonged to. Now, after all these years, it serves the same purpose for a new generation.
She slides her hands through the holes and puts it on. She turns and lets her fingers slide over the leather. Locking her gaze with mine she asks, “How do I look?”
“Fucking perfect and all mine,” I tell her and take her mouth in a fierce but quick kiss.
She gives me a shy smile and wraps her arms around my waist to give me a hug.
“Okay, you youngsters, I’m going to grab a book and lie down on the patio with Finn keeping me company,” mom says as she gives us both a smile and waves us out of the room.
By the emotions swirling in her eyes I can tell she’s getting too emotional and needs to be by herself. I tell Rhett and Ash to keep an eye on her. Not just on the surroundings but on my mom as well to make sure she’s okay.
When everything is set Gracy and I head back to the clubhouse. It’s time to take on another problem; Rush. One thing at a time is how we handle things, and our “to-do list” is getting shorter.
