Dearest Biker MC The Complete Series Box Set Page 64
There was a part of me that was surprised we’d held off until now. He had wanted it so badly, and I’d been at the house for nearly a week. But tonight was the first time we’d do more with each other than kiss, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it.
I couldn’t say that I was dreading it. That would be too harsh. But, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to it, either. It was just something that I knew was going to happen, and that was the end of that.
He wasn’t going to push me, I knew that much. But, was he going to ask? What if I were to say no?
Of course, that wasn’t an option. We had agreed to this, and I had to uphold my end of the agreement. I couldn’t back out now, or he might not want to go through with his end of the agreement, either.
We got back to the house and I fought missing Sabrina. I was glad Mama Rose was taking care of her for the night, but it was the first night in my entire life that I’d not had her with me when I went to bed. I knew it was something I had to expect, but it still was something to get used to. It was going to be strange throughout the night knowing she was being taken care of elsewhere.
But then, that was what I had to do for the greater good of everything.
We walked inside the house and Aaron led me right to his room. I didn’t know how it was going to take place, and was surprised when he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I’d liked the way he’d kissed me in front of everyone at the reception, and the way he’d kissed me in the hall.
For as predatory as he was, there was something about him that was almost respectful. I didn’t feel afraid, but I felt this was an obligation.
“Can I take your clothes off?” he asked. Again, I was surprised. I was sure I’d have to go through him tearing them off me and taking me like an animal, but I nodded.
It was time to put out, and I would go through with it. It would only take an hour at most, then I’d be free to go back to my room and figure out how I was going to handle the upcoming court date now that I was married.
But, as Aaron took my clothes off, I was surprised. I thought this was going to be more of an obligation, but with each touch of his hand, I felt a little more turned on than before. He caressed me, nuzzled me. His hands were exploring me, but gently, sensually.
I was getting more and more turned on by the second, and by the time my dress hit the floor, I was ready for him. Hell, I didn’t just know I was going to go through with it, I wanted to go through with it. The need I’d felt in the hall the first night he was going to seduce me, I felt all over again.
I started pulling at his own clothes, clearly surprising him as well. He helped me tear his vest and shirt off, letting them fall to the ground, then his pants and boxers. I was already naked and on the bed, and he pushed me back, kissing me all over.
Every time his mouth passed over my pussy I gasped, shocked by how caring he was being as a lover. He wanted to please me. He wasn’t using me for sex, he was having sex with me.
The longer it went on, the more I wanted to participate in the act. I kissed him, I dragged my fingers down his back. I took his cock in my hand and stroked it, feeling how hard and veiny it was. The head of his cock was huge, and I was shocked with how the girth filled my hand.
He crawled over the top of me, clearly needing me more now than ever. I had turned him on more than I thought possible, and he wanted inside me. Surprisingly, I wanted him inside. I spread my legs as he pressed his hips downward, pushing the head of his cock to my pussy.
I was so wet. A lot wetter than I’d expected I’d be. I smiled as I closed my eyes and took him inside. He was huge, and though I’d had a baby, I was still very tight. He moaned, letting himself feel the moment with his dick all the way inside my little pussy.
Then, he started pumping himself into me. Aaron pushed himself all the way in, then drew himself out, then pushed all the way inside me once more. In and out, in and out, he was going fast and hard, and I gasped, moaned, and explored his body with my hands as he moved over me.
I had no idea I’d be so turned on by him. I thought this was something I’d have to get through in order to get what I wanted with my daughter. Instead, this was something that I was enjoying, I could see myself starting to crave it, need it even.
With each thrust he pounded into me, I was pushed closer and closer to climax. I couldn’t get enough, and I knew it was going to hit me hard. My breathing came fast and shallow, growing higher and higher as he pushed harder and faster.
Then, I let myself go completely. With a loud cry, I sank my teeth into his shoulder, letting the waves of orgasm wash through me. It ran over my entire body, taking me to new heights. Never in my life had I felt anything to intense.
It was much more than anything Hanson had ever done, and the waves crashed to the very core of my being with electricity. I didn’t know I could feel so good, and I let it show in every part of me.
Aaron wasn’t far behind. I could tell with the tension in his body, he was feeling much the same as I. the climax growing steadily, the need to please but the hunger to be taken. It was overwhelming for both of us.
I felt his cock pulsing inside me as he came hard. He moaned, holding himself deep inside me as he throbbed, emptying deep within my pussy. We were out of breath and sweaty, and I couldn’t help but grin. I felt embarrassed with myself – not just for how I felt, but how I thought I was going to feel with him.
Things were so different than I thought they’d be, and I was pleased. I didn’t know it would be this way, and I had a feeling I’d be okay with it if it was.
Sure, it might just be for the night, for the moment even, but that was enough for me. At least for now.
I was with my husband. Strange of a thought as that was, and tonight we would be sharing the same bed. It was an amazing feeling – one I never thought I’d experience in my life.
But here we were, and though it was hard for me to truly say so, I was happy.
Aaron had made me happy.

Aaron
I woke with April in my arms. It was a strange feeling. More often than not, when I woke with a woman in my arms, I wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. Whether I’d picked her up at the bar or found her at some random party, the first line of action was to get rid of her as soon as possible and start drinking.
I was never the kind of guy to really worry about remembering names. I knew it pissed women off if I didn’t, and it was a great way to not have to worry about hearing from them again. Santa Rosa was enough of a traveler’s hub, I knew it wasn’t entirely likely for me to have to see any of them again.
And, if I ever did, I could worry about it then what I was going to say to them. Hell, if they were going to go home with a drunk guy from a bar, they better be ready for what might happen – and that might mean he doesn’t remember your name in the morning.
But with April, I wanted to pull her closer to me. It was nice having her to myself that morning. I knew we were going to get Sabrina soon enough, and though I was okay with sharing April with her, I did want to make the most of the time she and I had together before we brought the little girl back home.
Family life wasn’t nearly as daunting as I thought it would be. There had been many times in my life when I worried about what I was going to do if I ever got a girl pregnant. I didn’t have it in me to abandon her, but I never thought I’d exactly be a good dad, either.
But with little Sabrina in the picture, and the way April took care of her, I felt like I really could get through this. Not that it was hard, or that I even had to try to do it. This was all coming so natural, it was harder to think that it wasn’t going to last than to think about the fact she and I were together right now.
April shifted on the bed, and I put my arm tighter around her, pulling her back for the moment. Again, I wasn’t quite sure how she was going to react to the gesture. I had been surprised with how much she had gotten into the sex we’d’ had the night before, and I was pleased.
And the feeling had been phenomenal. It was the best sex that I’d ever had, and I wanted to do it again. And again. There was a part of me that hoped this custody battle would last longer than she wanted it to – not for the sake of the stress, but for the sake of keeping her in my life.
You know it’s a dangerous game you’re playing. You can’t just assume she’s going to want to stay in your life when this is over – in any regard. She might thank you for what you did for her and her daughter, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to want to ever see you again.
Don’t even begin to think that you might get to keep her any longer than this custody battle. As soon as this shit is sorted, you’re going to say goodbye to her and go back to the life that you’ve been living for the past year. Forget this family, forget your feelings.
This is nothing more than a façade – and one that’s not going to last.
I sighed within me. This was going to be hard to let go. I didn’t even want to consider what was going to happen to me when I did. April had been the only person on the planet who had made me not want to drink, and I didn’t know what would happen to me when she left the picture.
Not even Spencer had been able to get me to quit, though I knew he and the rest of the MC gang wanted it for me. No, shit was going to go down when April and Sabrina left, that was for sure. And I was going to have to deal with it when it happened.
I knew that afternoon I was going to be meeting with Jinx to check in with what was going down with Tim’s MC, but this morning, I didn’t want to think about any of that. This morning I was going to spend with my wife, then we were going to go get her daughter from Mama Rose.
I could deal with the shit about Tim later when I met Jinx. I could worry about what was coming next then, too. Right now, I was going to push it all out of my mind and just enjoy a sober, slightly hungover morning with my bride.
God knew this may be my only chance.
“Glad to see you’re still alive,” I teased when I walked into the bar.
Jinx was sitting with his back to the door, a drink in his hand. He looked up at me with a smile and a nod when I entered. But, he was alone. I was sure Spencer would be there to hear the update. I’d talked to him already about meeting there, but he didn’t answer.
“You alone?” I asked.
“I texted Spencer and told him I was going to meet you,” he said. “He said to tell you he got a little too smashed at the reception last night, and he’s going to call it on this one.”
I chuckled and shook my head. If there was one benefit to drinking as much as I had, it was that I didn’t have to deal with nearly the same hangovers as people who didn’t drink as much. Hell, I wondered if the entire MC was hungover that morning. I’d have to stop by the diner and see how Zach was doing later if I had the time.
“What have you got for me?” I asked. I could handle it, even if Spencer was too hungover to be there.
“The good news is, we were on the right track. But then, there’s the bad news,” Jinx said.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“We were on the right track,” he said with a laugh. “It turns out the MC has been laundering money for years. They did wind up missing quite the chunk of change, and it’s still unaccounted for.”
“So we were right about one thing,” I said. “But what does this have to do with Tim?”
“The thing I don’t know is if he actually was the one to stash the cash, or if he was just taking the heat for it,” Jinx said. “It seems that they were laundering this cash through several businesses spread through several towns all across this half of California.”
“Fuck,” I said.
“Yeah, so I’m working on narrowing down who the key players are. I want to know where to find this money, and I want to know who was responsible for pulling that trigger on Tim,” Jinx said. “I have no doubt in my mind that he was killed by them, but the question is, who was it within the group that did the killing, and who was it who ordered?”
“Ordered?” I asked in surprise. More often than not, these sorts of crimes took place within the MC as personal offenses. It was rare for anyone to order the murder of another. Hell, so many men would just play judge, jury, and executioner themselves. I didn’t see why there had to be more.
“I think it was a hit that was taken out by someone lesser than the one who really wanted him dead,” Jinx replied. “It seems to me that the men in that MC are really worried about what the leadership thinks, and they aren’t going to act of their own accord. At least, not unless they have some sort of permission to do so.”
“Which would mean we could possibly have someone who told someone else down the line to do the murder, or we could be dealing with a peon who wanted Tim dead, and they went to someone in charge and asked permission to carry out the hit, right?” I asked.
“Exactly,” Jinx affirmed. “And it seems no matter how we spin this, money was the motivating factor in all of it. I’m not sure if Tim hid it and knew where it was, or if he took it and spent it.”
“It doesn’t seem like something Tim would do. He and I were in an MC since high school. He knew what the politics were, and if he was in a corrupt club, he’d have known that things were even harder than before,” I shook my head.
True, Tim had clearly made some mistakes with this MC, but at the same time, that didn’t mean that he was stupid. He had been one of the brightest men I knew, and I couldn’t see him getting himself into a situation that was so stupid he’d be shot over it.
“Unless he was pressured,” Jinx said.
“Pressured?” I asked in surprise.
“Think about it. Is there anyone or anything that Tim cared about he wouldn’t want to lose, so he would do something as crazy as this? It might seem crazy to someone who knew the guy personally, which I didn’t, but if he was motivated with the fear of losing someone dear to him, who is to say that he didn’t do it to protect someone,” Jinx shrugged again.
I fell silent. I didn’t know how much of the situation I had with April he was hinting at, or how much he was just talking about and hitting on the head. Either way, I could see where he was coming from.
If someone was threatening Tim with April, then he was bound to do any number of crazy things to make sure she was safe. He had always been that way, as long as I could remember.
Perhaps there was something a lot more sinister behind this, and Tim had been nothing but a pawn through it all.
“But if that’s the case,” I said at last. “Then why kill him? If he was being threatened or blackmailed, I’d think that he’d keep going with it as long as things were going smoothly.”
“When your time is up, your time’s up,” Jinx said. “If the man served his purpose, there was no reason to keep him around.”
I nodded. He did have a point. The only problem was, we weren’t sure what Tim’s purpose was, or if there even had been one in the first place. Though we were making some progress, there was still a lot left to be learned.
“Do we have enough to take this to the cops?” I asked.
Jinx shook his head. “I don’t think we’re going to want to get them involved no matter how this turns.”
“Why not?” I asked.
He grinned and leaned in. “Because we’re the MC, we take care of our shit on our own.”

April
“I’m just worried this is going to drag on and on,” I said as I looked at myself in the mirror. I wasn’t sure how to wear my makeup or my earrings, and I wasn’t sure what to even wear to the courthouse. I wanted to look good. I wanted to be professional, and look like I had my shit together, but I felt quite the opposite.
So
many times in my life I felt like a joke when I’d try to dress up, and this was yet another one of those times. I just wanted to make a good impression for my family, and deep down inside, I knew this was my only chance to make that happen.
We would be in front of a female judge, and I hoped that would help the cause. But, I still wasn’t so sure. I didn’t know what sort of tricks Hanson had up his sleeve, and I was worried that our public defender wasn’t ready for what his seasoned lawyer was going to bring to the table.
“Relax. You’re going to be fine, and we’re going to get through this,” Aaron said. He walked into the room, and I was struck with how handsome he was. He cleaned up well, and he looked even more attractive now than he had at our wedding.
He had been the perfect husband for the past couple days, and I was still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that he and I were married. It didn’t seem possible after all that I’d been through in life – not possible that I would have a man who cared for me like Aaron did.
At least, the way he treated me made me feel as though he cared.
“I just don’t want to face Hanson. I don’t know what kind of shit he’s going to try to pull. I’m not sure how I’m going to respond to any accusations he throws at me, and I’m really not sure how I’m going to get through this morning without breaking down in tears,” I said with a shake of my head.
It was true. I was more nervous now than I had ever been any other day of my life. Hell, I wasn’t even this nervous the day I knew I was going to give birth to my daughter. Or even on my wedding day. But today, I was a wreck. I didn’t know how to respond to the stress, and I was scared to death I was going to make a fool of myself.
“Listen,” Aaron said. He caught me in the hall and put his hands on my shoulders. “I’m going to be there with you through all of this, okay? I’m not going to let anyone take Sabrina away from you. I don’t care how much money they have or who they think they are.”
He leaned forward and kissed me, sending chills through my body. God, if I wasn’t careful, I knew I was going to fall in love with this man for real.
