While I don’t take a nap with her, I do get in bed and hold Paige when she gets home. She’s so exhausted in every way after talking about everything with Valerie. So, while she sleeps, I hold her close and watch over her. I’ll always watch over her and chase away any demons trying to get her. Though I’m glad to see she doesn’t have nightmares or anything after a session with Valerie. I know some people do and I’m sure at one point, Paige was having nightmares about the accident. Now, that’s one thing she’s seemed to work through and has moved on from. She’s talked about it and managed her feelings on the situation. Something she clearly wasn’t doing before.
I’ve been staying at the trailer with Paige and I’ve pulled back from work once again. Now that she’s willing to accept the protection the club wants her to have, I’ve been with her at all times. I drive her to counseling or work and I don’t let her out of my sight. Well, I do when she’s with Valerie. Anyway, I check in with the guys and one of the Prospects stays with Paige when I have to go to church. We have a meeting at least a few times a week to go over any possible updates on the situation with Lucifer and their bitch of an incubator. No one’s seen them and it’s like they simply vanished into thin air. It’s impossible and just a matter of time before they fuck up and we find them. Neither one of them are too fucking smart.
Paige is currently in the shower after waking up from her nap. She’s getting ready to go and told me I wasn’t allowed to get in with her this time. When I’m in there with her, we don’t just wash and get out. I have to get her dirty before cleaning her up. We’re already running late because I didn’t want to wake her up. So, I was forbidden to get in the shower with my girl and I’m not ashamed to admit I did pout when she closed the door in my face. Yes, she did lock me out. No, that lock on that door won’t stop me from getting in if I truly want to. I’m just letting Paige think she won this round.
While I wait, I pull out my phone to message Kevlar. I know Paige wants to talk to Lyric but she’s so afraid to do it. She’s worried Lyric isn’t going to forgive her when I already know she will. I’ve talked to Lyric and my brother. With Paige’s permission, Shawn now knows what she’s been through and why she pushed Lyric away. He’s no longer pissed at her, but he wants her to apologize to Lyric before he’ll let her back around on a regular basis.
Me: Are you and Lyric gonna be at the clubhouse today?
I set my phone down on the counter as I grab a bottle of water from the refrigerator and open it up. Taking a long drink, I place the bottle on the counter when my phone vibrates letting me know Kevlar responded.
Kevlar: Of course we’ll be there. Lyric wants to see her sister. She’s ready to see if the counseling is really helping her.
Me: It’s helping. She’s more open and honest than I’ve ever seen her. Paige is a completely new person and letting herself be open to love and sharing her love with everyone around her. It’s fucking great!
Kevlar: That’s great to hear. I’m happy for you, Chance. We’ll see you soon. Oh, mom says to hurry your ass up and get here. They’re all waiting for you two.
Me: We’ll be there soon.
Walking into Paige’s bathroom, I see her brushing her hair as she looks in the mirror. There’s a dreamy look on her face and I wonder what the hell she’s thinking about. Walking up behind her, I take the brush from her hands and start to brush the long length of her hair. Paige closes her eyes and relaxes into my touch. She loves when I brush her hair like this and I can honestly say I enjoy brushing her hair for her.
“Is this all you have left to do?” I ask her, putting the brush down in front of her on the counter.
“Yeah. I’m ready to go,” she answers, turning to face me as she leans up to press a kiss against my lips.
Leaning down, I kiss Paige and it’s like the first time ever kissing her. It always feels as if I’ve never kissed her before and each time is the first. When I tell her I’ve never felt this way about another girl, I’m not lying. Paige is the only woman who’s ever made my stomach twist up in knots, feel as if I’m coming home when I slide into her hot, wet pussy, and feel as if it’s the first time I kiss each and every single time our lips touch. Hell, the first second I saw Paige, my heart stopped in my chest and I couldn’t breathe. I just knew I had to be with her and that I’d do anything to make it happen. No, I didn’t think it would take this long or that there’d be as much pain involved in us getting together. I wouldn’t change it though. We’re getting through this and moving forward we’re only gonna be stronger than ever before.
Paige and I make our way through the house, I check every door and window making sure it’s locked as I pull the front door closed behind me. The second Paige is ready to move, we’ll be moving our asses into the house on the compound I share with my brothers. This trailer isn’t safe enough to have as our home and I don’t want Paige here for longer than necessary. I just won’t push her to make a decision about moving out of the only home she’s ever had after everything else she’s been through.
Getting on my bike, I help Paige put on her helmet. I bought her one shortly after meeting her and it’s always on my bike for her to use when we go for a ride. She’s the only one who’s ever been on my bike and that will never change. I’m of the old school belief that a woman doesn’t belong on your bike unless she’s your ol’ lady. That’s how my dad thought and I think the same way. I’ll always try to follow what my dad says and has taught us over the years. The three of us boys always try to remember what we’ve been taught and go with that. It doesn’t always work like we want, but we certainly try.
Once Paige’s helmet is on and I know the straps are tightened, I help her get on the bike behind me. Unlike the past when she’s been on my bike, Paige moves forward until the front of her body is pressed firmly against my back. Her arms wrap around my stomach and she presses them against my abdominal muscles. Her touch, even through my shirt, sends a tremor through my body. If she were touching my bare skin, I’d break out in goosebumps. It’s the same thing we do to one another every single time we touch or get close to one another.
I start the bike and pull away from the trailer. Riding through town with Paige wrapped around me hits different than just riding on my own. Letting go of one handlebar, I place my hand on her thigh and just hold her. I feel Paige sigh in response to my touch. I can’t get enough of touching her and she loves it when I do. So, this works out perfectly for us.
Pulling up to the clubhouse, I find the parking lot full. I ride up to the line of bikes against the clubhouse and tap Paige’s leg for her to get off the bike so I can back it into my spot in line. She stands and watches me while taking her helmet off. While I shut the bike off, I watch her as she smoothes down her hair. The long strands are tangled because she didn’t braid it as she normally does when she knows we’re riding the bike. So, she drags her fingers through the strands to get rid of some of the knots.
We walk in the clubhouse and the common room is full. I look around until I find the table where my parents are sitting. My dad got the rag I ordered a while ago out of my closet earlier and has it sitting in front of him. Grabbing Paige’s hand, I lead her to their table and help her sit in a chair between my dad and her sister. Paige’s entire body is tight with tension and I know she’s waiting for someone to go off on her. I don’t see it happening, but that’s what she’s waiting for. Lyric looks at her with tears in her eyes and quickly looks away. I can see what she wants to say written all over her face, but she remains silent. They really need to talk so I’m going to claim my girl and make that happen. I want to talk to my dad anyway. Wrap my head around what Paige told me and get his opinion on the matter.
“Everyone!” I call out, putting a stop to the various conversations going on around the room right now. “Paige, you and I have been through hell and back over the last year. I was constantly fightin’ for us and you were fightin’ what you wanted. You put up one hell of a fight and I’m glad you did. It’s led us to today. Paige, you are one of the strongest women I’ve ever met in my life and I don’t say those words lightly because this room is full of strong women. Like them, you’ve been through your own share of problems and found a way to get past them. It doesn’t mean that you don’t sometimes get lost along the way though. What it means is that you needed just a little bit longer to work through things than other people did. And that’s okay. I fell in love with you so long ago and every single day only makes me fall that much deeper in love with you. Paige, will you do me the honor of becomin’ my ol’ lady in the eyes of the Wild Kings MC?” I ask her, my voice loud enough for everyone to hear.
“Yes, Ricochet. I’d be honored to be your ol’ lady,” she responds, tears in her eyes as she takes the box from my dad and lifts the lid off of it.
I watch as she pulls the tissue paper to each side and carefully takes her rag out of the box. Taking it from her hands, I hold it out. Paige stands from her seat and I slide it over her arms until the smooth leather rests on her back where it belongs. I stand back and just look at my name on Paige’s back. My cock is instantly hard and I’m ready to fuck my girl. To claim my ol’ lady the right way. For now, she has other things to worry about though. So, I pull her into my arms and lean down to kiss her. I kiss her deep and with all the love I have in me. Paige kisses me back just as hard and with as much love. I can’t stop the groan from escaping before I finally pull back and look down at my ol’ lady.
Everyone cheers and claps as we kiss in the middle of the common room. While I hear it happening, it’s as if the sound is coming from a distance away from us. Like we’re all alone despite being in a room full of people. It’s not until I pull back that I hear it so loud. Damn, we can be a loud bunch of fuckers when there’s this many people crammed into one room. I guess it’s a good thing we own a hotel and the room is large enough, barely, to fit this many people at once.
“I love you, Paige,” I tell her, my voice hoarse from the emotions welling up inside me.
“I love you, Ricochet,” she responds, grabbing my hand and squeezing it. “Um, Lyric, do you think we could go somewhere and talk for a few minutes?”
“Yeah. Let’s go to our room. We’ll have privacy there,” Lyric says as she stands from her chair.
Lyric has a belly on her now. She’s so fucking pregnant and it’s been awesome to watch her body grow and change as she gets further along in the pregnancy. She’s still having appointments more than a regular woman would because she’s having triplets and because of the trauma her body was put through. Thankfully, she’s completely off bed rest and has even started working for Tara at Tara’s Treats. The doors aren’t ready to be open yet, but Lyric has been there every single day helping Tara get it ready to open. I don’t think it will be much longer until they can open to the public and start making money with another amazing shop for Cedar Bay.
We all watch as the sisters leave the common room and head down the hallway leading to the bedrooms. Once they’re out of sight, I turn to my dad. Without saying a word to him, he stands from the table and heads out back. The only ones out here are the Prospects who are putting the finishing touches on the yard for the cookout.
“What’s on your mind, son?” my dad asks as we take a seat at one of the many picnic tables in the yard.
