Chapter 87 I love Fridays
Doc
Fridays. God, I love Fridays. That diner meal we always do, then the party that just does not stop. Tonight was steak, potatoes loaded up with everything, asparagus with that good cheese. I was full. I was good. The night was only getting started. We had The Reapers and the Devil’s Sons here tonight, all their people too. The place was packed. And I was smiling because I saw new faces, new girls, and I was already planning my move. Thinking maybe three tonight. Three sounds right. I got this second chance at breathing, you know? And I am going to use up every bit of it.
Raven screwing that Prospect last year was the best thing that ever happened to me. Making her my Old Lady was a mistake.
I figured it out on my forty-sixth birthday. Had Cameron and Narissa right there in my arms, those tiny baby smells doing something inside my head. And I thought, this is it. This is the good part. I looked over at my Old Lady Lori, and she had this soft smile going. Lori was ten years younger than me. I looked at the kids, then I raised an eyebrow at her, and her whole face just lit up. She nodded. We had been trying for six months. Every time her period came, she got so quiet. I kept saying it would happen when it was meant to. Do not worry about it. But she went to a doctor without telling me. They found ovarian cancer. The second she knew, it was like her body just gave up. We fought. We did the chemo. She was gone in six months. It broke me. I promised myself I would never have another Old Lady again.
Then Raven showed up two years later, a club girl. I was with her for two months when she came to me and said she was pregnant. I would have said it was not mine, but I knew I was the only brother she was with at the time. So I made her my Old Lady. A month later, she lost the baby. We were both destroyed for a while. Things got okay again. Then I left for a club run, two weeks gone. I came home expecting my life, my woman, waiting for me. Two days after I was back, Butcher called me into his office. Told me the new prospect, the kid I had just met, had been with my girl. I did not blame him. No. I blamed the bitch who opened her legs for someone who was not me. I walked out of that office looking for her. Found her yelling at the kid she had dragged into it. I hit him first, pure rage, then I grabbed her by the throat and peeled that property vest right off her. She cried. She pleaded. Said she was lonely, said she was still hurting from the baby we lost. I have never wanted to hit a woman so much in my whole life. I did not cheat. I did not use our pain as some excuse. We banned her after that.
Last weekend, she came back asking for another chance. Had not seen her in a year. I told her she could come back as a club girl, nothing more. Then she started trouble with Lia, and Beast said she was gone again. Good.
Lia. Sweet Lia. That girl was something else. If I ever thought someone deserved to be my Old Lady, it was her. Yeah, she is too young for me. But she makes me laugh. I love her fire. The way she hustled me and Bear at pool? I admired that. When she told us what her ex did to her, I knew she did not mean to tell us everything, but I wanted to find that man and make him sorry. How does someone hurt a girl like that? So small. So beautiful. Just sweet, through and through.
I looked around and found her with Beast. They were dancing, not even noticing the crowd around them. In their own world, even though the music was not slow. People were talking, playing pool and cards, the pinball machine going. Nobody was too drunk yet. It was still easy.
I smiled at them. Butcher called Church yesterday, and with her okay, Beast told the ranked members her story. We needed to know. We had to watch out for her. I chuckled when Beast whispered something to her and her whole face went red.
I finished my beer and went to the bar where Hex and his man were kissing, talking low. Shocked me that it did not bother me. Maybe all these years of seeing people go at it right in the open got me ready for it. I do not care about who Hex loves. He is a solid brother. Him finding someone who makes him happy? That makes me happy too. I slapped his shoulder and nodded at both of them.
“Gonna get wild tonight. You and Beast get Owen and Lia ready?”
“Yeah, big man. What do you think? I make this vest look good, do not I?” Owen turned around, showing off the words Property of Hex. Hex grinned, his chest all puffed up. I had to laugh.
“You look good, Owen. Now look at Lia. That long skirt, that little top, her vest. She is the most covered up girl here, and she still puts every one of them to shame with how beautiful she is. I wish Catalina and Jenna had stayed after dinner. Our girl needs friends around her at these things.”
“Lia is beautiful in that. Yellow is her color. She is like sunshine. But do not let that sweet face fool you. She has claws. Liam messed with her head, but when it comes to Beast, when it comes to her territory, she will put a bitch right in her place. You should have seen her with your ex.”
I laughed, wishing I had seen it.
“Maybe. But she still needs friends who will build her up. She has you, Owen, but you are wrapped up in something new. She needs girlfriends too.”
“The other Old Ladies like her. Even the club girls do. Not one has been rude to her, and Beast has been with all of them. You would think they would be mean,” Hex said.
“It is hard to be mean to Lia. That is why when she told me about Liam, I just knew that man had something evil in him. Lia is an angel. A real one. She never let anyone give me trouble if she was around. Even when my parents were being awful, Lia took care of me. Her dad practically adopted me, I was at their house so much. He even let us have sleepovers. It killed me when she told me he died. I want to kill Liam myself,” Owen said, his voice a low growl. Hex rubbed his back, calm and steady.
“Well, do not think on that tonight. It is your first club party. Let us do some shots.”
Hours later, the place was pure chaos. Only two fights so far, and we fixed them with more whiskey and the distraction of the club girls. I had two girls already. One from The Reapers, their president told me I had to try her. The second was from the Devil’s Sons. I shared her with her Old Man right in the middle of the commons room, everyone cheering. The night was going perfect. Then I stumbled on Beast with Lia up against the wall in the hallway, on my way to get Butcher from his office. He needed to join the party. They both giggled like kids caught out of bed. I smacked Beast’s ass and told them to find a room. I was enough of an asshole to look, though. To see how beautiful she was. Beast is one lucky son of a bitch.
I banged on the office door and pushed it open. Stopped cold. Oops. Butcher had Kiki over his desk, taking her from behind. I got hard immediately. I love to watch. I know Kiki loves to be watched. But Butcher does not. So when his eyes locked on mine, I backed out and shut the door.
“Hi. I am Lacy.”
I looked down. Voluptuous brunette, bouncing on her toes in front of me. All she had on was a white see-through bra and a lace thong, white too. Her breasts moved and I groaned.
“No, baby. You are number three.”
She squealed when I leaned down and lifted her up. Her thick thighs locked around my waist, her arms around my neck. She pressed those breasts into me and kissed me so hard the world went fuzzy. I growled and slammed her against the wall. Got my belt open, my buttons, yanked my zipper down and freed myself. Pushed her underwear aside and was inside her. She squealed. She moaned.
“That’s right. Take it. Take all of it. You like that, do not you?”
She nodded, moaning again when I called myself daddy. Oh yeah. I found my baby doll for the night. I carried her away from the wall toward one of the rooms. This daddy was going to ruin this girl.
