I grin wide before nodding, and he smiles wide back before leaning forward and taking my lips again. He continues to kiss me passionately as he stands up from the bath, taking me into our bedroom, completely wet and not giving a crap, where he spends the rest of the night showing me how much he loves my body.
When we fall asleep in each other's arms, the only thought that comes to mind is how grateful I am for giving him another shot.
Epilogue – One Month Later
Dagger
I'm pacing the clubhouse driveway while Shane laughs at me, the fucker.
"I just think this is ironic. I mean, I was having this same talk with your woman all those months ago about ripping the band-aid off and all that, and here we are again."
I point at him and say, "It's not the fucking same, and you know it."
He just laughs as Flame walks out with Gunner and Hawk. They all look at me, raising a brow, and I just shake my head at them before looking back at Shane. I hold my arms out. "What if I'm wrong and she says no? What if doing it at the hospital where we met is a bad idea, and all it does is bring that bitch back up?"
I hear the men clear their throats while Flame chuckles, making me glare at him, and he puts his hands up in surrender. "Brother, firstly, the bitch is dead. Our informant did her job, making it look like suicide, so Mel doesn't get suspicious; secondly, you've been through fucking hell all your life; the brothers didn't have your back; your father was a cunt—who I still think you should have let Axel punish him for his actions; and you deserve your happiness, especially after your girl convinced you to stay in the brotherhood—which I personally thanked her for, by the way. Thirdly, if I could, I would turn back time and make Star mine instantly. I'd tie her to me in every way possible. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Get your ass on your bike and go and fucking propose."
I sigh because I know he's right. Both Mel and I deserve our happiness, and us together is happiness. And as for my father, well, he's nonexistent. I know he helped when Mel was shot, but one good deed doesn't replace years of pain.I mean, fuck, his wife is still walking around, breathing, and trying to contact Ink when she should be with Shacks.
The brothers have apologized profusely, and I'm slowly working on building trust with them because, well, a VP with no faith in his brothers doesn't exactly mix well. I tried to hand it in and be a brother, but they all refused, making Mel laugh.
I place my hands on my hips, compassion shining through for my brother, who misses his girl. "Is there still nothing?"
He shakes his head. "She's talking to Annie; that's the main thing right now. Go get your girl brother so we can give her some good news to convince her to come home."
I smile and nod before walking over to him, hugging him tight, and managing not to tense. I've been getting better at that; it helps that my woman forced me into therapy.
I sigh.
A fucking biker in therapy.
Just as we pull apart, Gunner and Ink grin wide when Stormy comes out and opens his fucking mouth,
"Still not gotten the balls to go and propose, huh? What kind of kids have I brought up?"
Flame chuckles while I shake my head at him. "Thanks for the push, Storm."
He smiles, some pain still shining in his eyes because I won't call him Dad again. Therapy has been helping me get all my emotions out where he's concerned; I just don't know if I can forgive him. He's been trying for the past month, pushing himself into my life, and I haven't shoved him away, so that's something, right?
The day may come when I will call him dad again, but the pain he caused, I don't think I'll ever be able to forget it, even if I refuse punishment for him.
I climb on my bike.
I rev her up before roaring out of the clubhouse parking lot, pulling my middle finger up at a laughing Shane, and heading to the hospital, hoping she doesn't fucking tell me where to go.
I sit on my bike for ten minutes before I get the nerve to go in. Doc texted, letting me know she was now near the nurse's desk in the ER, and I swallowed hard. I walk in, and Meghan grins wide, giving me two thumbs up, making me smile a little, and I shake my head at her. I look around the room and noticeit's full. My smile turns into a scowl, making her giggle before she bounces on her toes with excitement, proving she has something to do with this. I shake my head before I look around the room again and finally notice my girl; her back is to me. I smile before walking up behind her, conscious of all the eyes on us.
Fucking Meghan.
I place my hands on either side of her on the desk, and she leans against me, making me smile at the side of her neck while I rasp,
"Now, how did you know it was me?"
I can hear the smile in her voice as she talks, making my smile grow wider.
"I always know when you are near; my body pulls to yours like we're magnets, bound for each other, though I still need to kneel you in the balls."
I kiss her gently on the side of her neck with a chuckle because she does, and I know I deserve it. "You've been a part of my body and soul for over seven months now, baby, even when you didn't want to. We met here at the hospital, and my body and heart have needed yours ever since."
