Taking a quick shower, I make sure the water runs clear before getting out and drying off. I’m not about to stay here at the clubhouse any longer than I need to. Tara isn’t here. I’m ready to be back with her instead of here with everyone else. Grabbing my clothes after wrapping a towel around my hips, I put them in a bag to take them out to the burn pit. My wallet, phone, and everything typically filling my pockets litter the counter. I’ll grab it all before heading back home.
Tying off the bag, I leave it in the bathroom and go to get dressed. Putting on a clean pair of jeans and a tee-shirt. I laid my cut on my bed before going in the bathroom. Grabbing it, I put it on and head back in the bathroom to grab the rest of my shit. I head out with the bag in my hand so I can get rid of the stuff in the burn pit. Venom stops me just before entering the common room.
“You get out some of that rage?” he questions me, his voice barely above a whisper.
“A little bit. Still got a long way to go. Lucy ain’t goin’ nowhere. He’s gonna suffer at my hands for weeks, Venom. I know we’ve never done that shit before, but this is what I want. What I fuckin’ need. I’m not like the rest of you. Happy to settle down and have an ol’ lady and kids. That was never what I wanted. Now, I have Tara and I can’t imagine my life without her in it. Lucifer and that bitch tried to take her from me. Fuck them! I’m gonna make him plead and beg for death before I finally end his life,” I answer him honestly.
“We’re gonna make sure that bitch pays too. Got Siren and Sassy comin’ to deal with her. Summer is only dealin’ with sendin’ the girls out on jobs these days. So, we’re gettin’ them. I get where Summer’s comin’ from so it’s not a big deal. You gonna be there when that bitch is taken care of?” he informs me, looking around to make sure no one’s listening to us talk.
“I’m gonna be there. I think Lyric, Paige, and Tara should be given the option to be there too. Again, we don’t typically do that shit, but this affects them more than it does us when it comes to the bitch. Maybe it will give them all some closure they won’t get any other way. And, if they want to get their hands dirty before Sassy and Siren take over, who are we to stop them?” I answer him, knowing the girls might want this shit more than we do.
“We’ll bring it to church before they get here. Get home to your girl. I’ll see ya tomorrow,” Venom says, clapping me on the shoulder before I walk past him.
I dump the shit in the burn pile where Kountry is waiting for me so he can light the fire. He lights it before I leave him and make my way around the front of the clubhouse. Straddling my bike, I find Ricochet, Kevlar, and my dad waiting for me. We’re all gonna spend the rest of the night together as a family and make sure Tara isn’t lonely. We’re all gonna have her back and make sure she knows we’re there for her. Others in the club will too. For now, we just want her surrounded by family. Something I don’t think she’s had a lot of in her life.
Chapter Forty
Tara
EVERYONE DECIDED TO throw Paige and Ricochet a baby shower today. It’s been a few weeks since everything happened and they didn’t want to rush me into anything. With all their families in town, they knew it was the perfect time. I was told about it when the ol’ ladies started making plans a week ago. Paige and Ricochet have no clue what’s going on though. At least I don’t think they do. The ol’ ladies have been very tightlipped about the entire thing. I’ve tried to help out, but they keep telling me I’m doing enough by helping them expand their family. All I need to do is keep resting and grow their baby like Doc wants me to do. So, that’s what I’ve been doing. The only thing is I’ve been spending more time at the clubhouse instead of at home. Hawkeye tries to go down there a few times a week to deal with a situation, but I go with him and hang out in the common room or take a nap in his room. No one lets me move or get anything myself while I’m there either. Especially Lyric. She’s like a damn ninja and always knows when I’m about to get up for some reason.
Hawkeye has been up my ass every single day. He doesn’t let me out of his sight for too long now and I find it endearing because it shows me how much he cares. The man means it when he says he’d burn the world down for me and that anyone who tries to hurt me will pay with their life. One of the Prospects almost tested that theory and he didn’t even hurt me. I was in the clubhouse sitting on the couch as normal and apparently one of the Prospects was there staring at me instead of doing his job. I didn’t even realize it was happening until I heard Hawkeye come in and start chewing him a new ass. I had to stifle my laughter because my man was already pissed off and I didn’t want to add to it because it wouldn’t have been good for the Prospect in question.
Paige also really hasn’t left me alone very often. The only time she really leaves my side is when she’s at work. Then, Ricochet comes over to hang out with us. One of them typically hangs out with us and I don’t mind it. Though I will say if it’s Ricochet, I know the night is going to be interesting. Hawkeye and him usually end up in some kind of argument about one thing or another and they’re usually very stupid. Last night they got all worked up over pizza toppings. Not your typical pineapple on pizza debate either. It was all pizza toppings and what should be added to the list that’s not currently out there. It’s the last conversation I thought I’d have to referee but when it comes to these boys, you never know what’s going to happen. Especially if Kevlar is added into the mix. He loves to stir up trouble between his brothers and is so sly about it. Then he just sits back and watches as chaos happens.
Getting out of the shower, I grab the towel I left on the counter and start drying off. I forget, again, to bring clothes in with me so with a towel in my hair and one wrapped around my body, I walk into the bedroom to find Hawkeye sitting on the bed with his eyes glued to me. He leans back on his forearms and just watches me. Looking over my shoulder, I see his hooded eyes raking over every inch of my body as he bites his lip. I could really tease him right now if I wanted to, but that would only lead to us being late to the baby shower. And it would honestly be teasing myself more because I want this man more than I want to take my next breath. He hasn’t touched me since he stopped me from collapsing on the floor at that house I was held in. No matter what I say or do, Hawkeye refuses to do more than hold me when we go to bed at night.
Letting the towel drop to the floor at my feet, I pull out a pair of panties and matching bra from the drawer where everything was put by Hawkeye. Starting with my bra, I get it on and snap it closed when I bend over to slide the panties up my legs after stepping into them. Before I can even start to pull them up my legs, I feel Hawkeye’s body heat at my back. His fingers grip my hips as he presses his body against mine. Fuck!
“You’re playin’ with fire, sweets. You know that, right?” he questions me, his hot breath fanning over my exposed neck as he presses soft kisses there.
“I want you,” I whisper, reaching behind me to wrap my arm around his neck.
“We’ll be late, sweets. And Ricochet or Kevlar will come lookin’ for us. Maybe even my dad. Don’t think you want them walkin’ in on me fuckin’ you against the wall,” he states, sucking the skin where my neck and shoulder meet in his mouth as I tilt my head for him and let the moan escape.
“Please,” I plead with him, my body already trembling in anticipation.
“Can’t do it, sweets. Not until you go back to see Doc. That’s the first question I’m askin’. For now, let’s get you dressed and down to the clubhouse before I call Doc right now and find out if I can fuck you hard as hell,” he says, as he backs away before stepping around in front of me.
Hawkeye crouches down in front of me and starts to pull my panties up. His face is level with my pussy and I watch as he leans in like he’s going to shove his head between my legs. Instead, he leans up and presses a kiss against my stomach before sliding my panties in place and backing up once again. Hawkeye is a fucking tease! I’ve never been teased as bad by anyone else like this. He knows what the fuck he’s doing and I won’t ever win this game against him. That much has been made abundantly clear to me.
I move past him to grab the dress I plan on wearing today. It’s a maxi dress in a soft purple color with a halter top. The material is soft against my skin as I slide it up my body. Hawkeye steps up and ties the top for me before stepping back once again. Bending down, I grab the towel from the floor and make my way back into the bathroom. I put the towel in the hamper before removing the one from my hair and putting it in there too.
Hawkeye leaves the bedroom as I finish getting ready for the day. After brushing out my hair, I put it in a high ponytail and then apply some mascara to my lashes. That’s really all the make-up I wear these days. There’s no real reason for me to wear a ton of other shit because I don’t like that caked-on feeling of make-up on my face. Walking to the living room, I find my man putting his boots on. He’s got a black baseball hat sitting backwards on his head and there’s just a hint of stubble covering his face. He’s sexy as hell and I’m ready to say fuck the baby shower and go back to bed.
“Let’s get outta here before we don’t go at all,” his husky voice washes over me as he pulls me into his arms and holds me while I slide my sandals on my feet. “You look amazin’, sweets. Soon I’ll give you what you want.”
Hawkeye leads me to his truck and helps me in the front seat before getting in the driver’s seat. We make our way to the clubhouse and I see everyone there with the exception of Ricochet and Paige. His truck isn’t in the parking lot and the bike he rides is already parked in his spot against the clubhouse. It’s a little chilly so I know he won’t take Paige out for a ride today. After helping me get out of the truck once he’s parked, Hawkeye laces our fingers together and leads me inside. We’re greeted by a completely decorated common room and everyone waiting for Paige and Ricochet to show up.
There are blue and pink balloons, streamers, tablecloths, cups, plates, and silverware. Everything in the room either has something blue or pink on it. There’s a banner across the room welcoming the newest member of the family even though he or she hasn’t been born yet. A table off to the side is already loaded down with gifts and the larger ones are piled high on the table. The top of the bar is filled with all sorts of food and a large cake to feed everyone here.
“They’ll be here in just a minute. Ricochet just answered my message and said they’re about to pull up. Everyone get ready,” Maddie says her voice rising above everyone else’s in the common room.
Hawkeye leads me to a chair so I’m not standing in front of the door when his brother and Paige make their way in the clubhouse. He doesn’t leave my side as Maddie brings me over a bottle of water and plate of snacks. They’re always making sure I have food and water with me. Smiling, I thank her as the front door opens.
“Surprise!” everyone yells as I finish swallowing the sip of water I just took.
“What’s goin’ on?” Ricochet questions, looking around the room in confusion.
