City Lights (Satan's Sinners M.C. Book 1) (14 page)

Today is July 4th and it's the day of our BBQ. The day I'm gonna ask Zoey to be my Ol' Lady. The last month has been amazing. She is amazing. When we first started fuckin', I always got so caught up in the moment that we didn't use condoms, but over time I've gotten this need to make everyone know that she is mine. What better way to do that then have my baby growing inside of her? We fuck every day, sometimes multiple times a day. So there's a good chance she could be pregnant. Right now, I'm just waiting. I'll be one happy motherfucker if she is. It's so strange to me, I never wanted kids, or marriage before and now. I wanna give it all to her. I have fallen in love with her and when it happened, it happened fast. Now I will love her hard and love her with everything inside of me. Nobody will ever take her away from me. I will die protecting that woman. That is why we are watching her ex. He hasn't made a move yet, so we're just sitting back, waiting to see what he does. When the time is right, I'll get him and he'll never get the chance to hurt my woman or any other woman ever again.

I can't help but smile when I see her next to Chatty helping with everything today. They have done all the food, and set up the cabins for the Oklahoma and Texas chapters. She is gonna make the perfect First Lady. She has met some of the other chapters Ol' Ladies and I made it known that she was mine. None of the guys will fuck with her. It's almost time for the fireworks to start. I'm sitting by the bonfire talking to Bones the President of our chapter in Oklahoma and the V/P of the Texas chapter. When Zoey walks up and runs her hand through my hair. I love when she does that, to be honest I love every single fuckin' thing about her. I pull her down into my lap "Watch the fireworks with me, Crazy Girl." she starts giggling.

"I gotta finish helping Chatty."

"No. Chatty will be over in a minute to sit with Ripper."

"Okay then." She's smiling she leans back, so her back is against my chest, and I wrap my arms around her waist. I look around Chatty with Ripper, Ever with Writer, Jacey next to Bear talking, and Giovanna with Romeo. I couldn't ask for more, for once in my life I'm truly happy. Once the fireworks start, I look at her and see pure happiness on her smiling face. I can't keep it in any longer so I put my mouth against her ear, and whisper loud enough for her to hear me "Zoey Porter. I love you." She quickly turns her head to look at me. She tilts it slightly to the side, I can see the tears in her eyes, she leans towards me and moves to my ear and whispers back "Nico Black. I love you too. So much." When I hear those words leave her lips I release the breath, I didn't know I was holding. I slam my mouth to hers and kiss her hard, like my life depends on it. I pull away gasping for air "Babe, stay here. I gotta go get something."

"Okay."

I go get her cut that I had Chatty make for me. The actual cut is black, but on the back across the top in a half circle it says "
Property Of
" in white and across the bottom in a half circle it says "
Hanger"
. In the middle it has our logo done in red, and on the front it has
First Lady
in white under that her name patch
Crazy Girl
, since that is what everyone calls her. It’s done in her favorite color which is pink. I think she will love it. I walk back out to her and she sees the cut in my hands and looks at me. "Hanger, what is that?"

"Well, Babe, let me explain. Before you, I never wanted an Ol' Lady. I was an asshole, didn't care about anybody but myself. Crazy Girl, you changed all that, you changed me. I wanna give you everything I am capable of and more. I wanna give you the world, and I wanna have you by my side and on the back of my bike. You’re my other half, so if you accept this cut, you will be my Ol' Lady. I love you Crazy Girl."

"Oh, Hanger! I love you too! I've talked to Chatty about what being an Ol' Lady means. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I wanna stay by your side as long as you will have me. You have given me more than I could ever ask for. I don't need anything but you baby. So, Yes! I'll be your Ol' Lady."

"I love you so fuckin' much, Crazy Girl."

"I love you so fuckin' much too." We start kissing, when I hear everyone around us cheering and clapping, we break apart both laughing. "How did you get this made for me?"

"I had Chatty do it." She turns and when she finds Chatty. She lets go of me and breaks into a run throwing her arms around Chatty. I can hear her telling her thank you. She comes back over to me. Bam Bam is already standing there with shots, so we takes ours and I make a toast. "To my Crazy Girl! You will be the best fuckin' First Lady there ever was. Now Drink Up!" Everyone is yelling congrats and clapping for us. It makes me fuckin' happy that they all love her too.

"I love you, and my cut, now take me inside and show me how much you love me!" I pull her up from the chair drag her inside. All the while she's laughing, and I do just that in showing her just how much I love her.

We are having church again before meeting with the Cobras, since I got the other chapters here with us I have filled them in on what has been going on, they will be going to the meet with us. "Alright, brothers are you ready to meet with the Cobras?" I get a round of “yeahs” “let's do this”. "As you all know, the Italians are trying to take us down, along with the Cobras'. We have to get them before they get us. So we are doing this meeting today to come up with a plan. Every other time it's just been Snake and me, but today we will all be together."

Ripper speaks up "Don't worry, Prez, we're gonna get them fuckers. I've been in this club for twenty some years, nobody's takin' us down yet and it ain't about to fuckin' happen now." He's right people have tried over the years since my grandfather started this club, but nobody has ever succeeded and they won't as long as I'm breathing. "Alright, let's ride in ten." I go find Zoey "I'll be back later, Babe. We gotta go on a run. I love you."

"I love you too, Baby. Be careful." I give her a kiss and leave.

An hour later we are all in the Cobras' chapel "Alright, Romeo. What do you know?"

"They have a warehouse somewhere out of town, it's where they are keeping all of their supply and guns. Our best bet would be to watch them. Find out where it's at and hit 'em when they are there. They are planning to attack in three months. I think they are trying to get numbers."

Snake replies "I don't have any extra guys to send out to watch them, Hanger. Can you send two of yours? Once we know when they are there we can surround it and go in guns blazing. Take 'em out. One hit."

"If we go in guns blazing, we aren't guaranteed to have all of our guys come out. After we know when they are there, why don't we have a couple of our best shots sit back, and as they come out pick them off one by one. When the coast is clear, we can bust in and if anybody is left, there will be enough of us to take care of them. We get our shit back and call it a day." I get a room full of nods.

"Yeah, okay. Hanger, that sounds good." 

Bones speaks up "Smart plan, Hanger. We got your back along with the Texas. When you need us give us a call. Since Snake can't send one of his guys I got a prospect who's been lookin' to patch in. He can watch the warehouse with your guy. Make sure it's enough time for us to get here though. Your dad would be proud."

"Thanks Bones." The meeting is over so we all head back, the other chapters leave. When we get back to the clubhouse Zoey is helping Chatty clean up, so I'm sitting at the bar when Writer sits next to me.

"What's up, Writer?"

"I need to ask you something."

"Okay, what is it?"

"Well, I was thinking about the dinner we had and what Grant asked us."

"Yeah."

"Well, I was wondering how you knew that Crazy Girl was the one? That you were in love with her."
I get a smile on my face.

"We had a crazy connection before she even woke up and I think it was fate for me to find her that night. When she did wake up, even with her bruises, I knew there was something there and that she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I couldn't and didn't want to be with anyone else. I hate when I have to leave her. I always want to keep her safe, and protected. Now I can't imagine what my life was like before her. I don't ever want to live without her."
He nods his head and has a look on his face like he is thinking.
"Are you in love with Ever?"

"Yeah, man, I am."
His face breaks out into the biggest smile that I've ever seen from him.

"If you think she feels the same way tell her."

"Okay."
He gets up to go find his woman.

I started back to work two weeks ago, and it's been a month since Hanger asked me to be his Ol' Lady. It has been better than I ever would have thought. I thought I loved Andrew, but that was a tainted love. With Hanger it's pure, and true. He owns every part of me in and out of bed. I think sometimes that I wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for him. He's so caring with me and gentle, but at the same time he has that alpha mentality. That's okay with me though, I think it's hot and he still lets me be myself. I also know that he just wants to keep me safe and protected. He drops me off at work every day and picks me up, if he can't then he has Bam Bam do it. Even though I know that one of them are there when I leave at night, I feel like someone is watching me. I don't ever see anybody, it’s just like at the mall. I haven't said anything to Hanger because I don't want him to worry. I could just be paranoid, and if I say something about it he will worry. I've also been feeling sick for the last week. I don't know what's going on but I think I'm gonna have to ask Jacey to check me out.

"Hey, Jacey. Are you busy?"

"No. Zoey, what’s up?"

"Well, I haven't been feeling very good this last week. So I was wondering if you could check me out. Make sure everything is okay."

"Yeah, come on lets go into exam room three." When we get in there I sit on the table and she sits in the chair.

"What's been going on?"

"Well, I feel nauseous, I'm more tired than normal."

"Okay. Are you having any breast tenderness?"

"Yeah."

"Zoey, when was your last period?" I think about that question and do the math in my head and my eyes get big. Oh shit!

"The first month I was at the club."

"Well, I think our best bet would be to do a pregnancy test."

"Okay, yeah. That's a good idea." She gives me the cup and I go into the bathroom. I'm so fucking nervous. How is Hanger gonna feel about this? I do my business and take the cup back into the room, give it to her, and sit back down.

"As you know, we have the test that we do right in the room, and it only takes a few minutes to get the results."

"Okay." She does the test so we sit and wait. I see this as my chance to question her.

"What's going on with you and Bear?"

"Nothing, why?"

"Well, he's been unusually angry lately. Every time I see you guys together it always looks like it's a heated discussion, and I see the way he looks at you, and it’s more than just friendly."

"Oh. Shit, Zoey. I don't know what to do. I like him. I really do, but I don't think he's the right guy for me. Even if you like the lifestyle they lead, it's not for me and I may have made a huge mistake."

"Why are you being so judgmental towards them? You know what they did for me and how I feel about all those guys. They like you, they always have. What do you mean you made a mistake?" She's crying. I get up to hug her, but she tells me its fine.

"Well, that night we all went to the club and he took me home. I invited him in and one thing led to another. Well… now I'm pregnant. I don't want my child raised around that life."

"Fuck, Jacey. Have you told him?"

"No! Every time he tries to talk I blow him off, or start a fight. Just so I don't have to."

"Jacey! You have to tell him. You can't keep this from him. They are really good guys. He might surprise you if you give him a chance."

"I'll think about it. Promise me, Zoey that you won’t tell him. You can tell Hanger that I'm pregnant, but don't tell him who the father is."

"You’re my best friend, Jacey. I promise. I just hope you decide to do the right thing, it's not my place to tell him anyway."

"Time's up. Let’s see what yours says." She walks over gets the test "Well, I'm not the only one that's gonna have a baby. You’re pregnant."

"Really?" Wow I didn't know how I would feel about it, but I'm really happy. I hope Hanger will be too.

"Yep! So let’s lock up so you can get to your man and tell him the good news. Congratulations! I'm really happy for you, Zoey."

"Thank you. Everything will work out for you too. I want you to be happy too, Jacey."

"Don’t worry about me I’ll figure it out." We lock up, walk outside, and as usual I feel someone watching me. I stop walking and look over my shoulders but nobody's there. He sent Bam Bam to get me so I climb into Hanger's black Ford F150 Harley Davidson edition truck and we head to the club.

I walk into the bar and see Hanger talking to Hacker. I walk up to him and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hanger, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, Babe. Sorry I couldn't pick you up, we had some business to talk about."

"It’s okay. Hey Hacker, how are you?"

"What's happenin' Crazy Girl? How was work?"

"It was good. Slow though, I'm glad it's Friday."

"Are we partying tonight? You know, you’re so much fun when you’re shitfaced." He's smiling.

"Well thanks Hacker but I don’t know. I need to talk to Hanger alone."

"Babe, you okay? What's wrong?"

"Can we go in our room? I'd rather talk in private."

"Yeah, Babe. Come on." As soon as we get in the room and he shuts the door he turns to me "Babe, what the fuck is wrong?"

"Baby, it's okay. You know how I haven't been feeling very good, and I’ve been tired? Well I found out tonight why that is."

"Why? You got some kinda virus or something?"

"No, but I got a baby… I'm pregnant Hanger." I look at him and I think he's going over what I just said, I can see in his eyes when it clicks. He gets the biggest smile on his face.

"Really? We’re gonna have a baby?"

"Yep. Really. Jacey did the test and it was positive." I let out a deep breath, I’m so glad he's happy about it.

"Babe. I love you so fuckin' much."

"I love you too, Baby." He lifts me up and takes me to the bed, laying me down gently and starts kissing me "Is it safe for the baby?"

"Yeah, it's safe." He takes our clothes off and then runs his fingers from my neck down my body until he gets to my sex and feels how ready I am.

"You’re always so wet for me. We’re gonna do this nice, and slow. Let me put some music on." He goes over and turns his iPod to a slow play list. The only two songs I can remember is Ride by Chase Rice and Burnin' It Down by Jason Aldean after those two he was inside me moving so slowly. I was matching movements with his until we were both moaning and calling out each other’s names. When we are laying there, I realize Hanger just made love to me, it's always been more than fucking with us. But it's never been like that, slow and sensual.

"Babe, can I ask you a question?''

"You can ask me anything"

"Are you happy? I mean really truly happy."

"Yes, Nico. I am and even more so now that we're gonna have a baby. Where is this coming from?"

"I just wanna make sure. I wanna make you happy, if you’re not then you tell me. Yeah?"

"Yeah. Now will you hold and sing to me?"

"Yeah. Come here, Crazy Girl." He starts singing and once again I fall asleep to the sound of his soothing voice.

It's been two weeks since Zoey found out she was pregnant. She's ten weeks now and were just waiting until she gets out of her first trimester to tell everybody. She's at work right now and I'm about to start church. We gotta touch base with everything. It's been pretty calm, so I'm kinda worried that something bad is about to happen.

"Alright, Hacker. What's going on with Zoey's ex?"

"He hasn't done anything. Still at the motel hiding out. I'm worried that he hasn't done anything to find out where she's at. I still don't know who the payphone calls are coming from. They always use a different one. Every time I think we have the right one, a call comes in from a different fuckin' phone. But I think as long as we stay on Crazy Girl, she'll be okay."

"Yeah, do that. I will be out for blood if something happens to her. We finally have the location to the warehouse. Right now we are waiting for Hunter and Demon to find out when the Italians will be there, the routine for when people are coming and going. We will wait for at least a month, to make sure everything is setup for our plan. We will call in other chapters, plus we will have the Cobras. Our numbers will be up, we go in and get out as fast as possible. Hopefully everybody comes out unharmed." My phone starts ringing I see that it's Bam Bam. I sent him to get Zoey from work today. I tell everyone to shut up and I answer it "Yeah Bam Bam. What's up?" I have to strain and listen to hear him because he’s whispering.

"Prez, we got a problem. I got here to get Crazy Girl, but neither she nor Jacey came out. So I went, checked the door it was unlocked. So I came in and I can hear voices there's a guy here, with that fuckin' whore Jasmine. They got the girls held hostage. You gotta get here Hanger. I'm goin' in there."

"Don't do anything to get the girls hurt. I'll be there in a minute.” I turn to the boys sitting around the table. “Guys we gotta get to the clinic. Jasmine and some fuckin' guys got Zoey and Jacey." I'm about to fuckin' go crazy. Nothing better happen to my woman or our baby.

Bear jumps up "What the fuck do you mean, they have the girls? How the fuck could this happen?"

"I don't fuckin' know, right now Bear. We gotta go."

Gunner speaks up "She'll be alright, Prez." I turn and grab his shirt and push him up against the wall "You don't know that! You saw her when we brought her here!" I let him go "I don't have time for this shit. Let's go."

We get to the clinic and go in. We slowly walk the hall listening to see if we hear anything. I hear a gun shot and take off running to the door. I let Writer know what I heard. I slowly open the door thinking, I'm gonna find my Crazy Girl dead. Once the door is open Gunner and Doc push their way through the door and grab the guy. Writer pulls his gun and shoots Jasmine in the back of the head. I don't want this guy dead yet I gotta find out who he is. Bam Bam was the one that was shot. I see him lying there in a puddle of blood. Jacey seems to be fine, Bear has her in his arms, talking into her ear. I go over to Zoey. "Zoey, Baby?" She's not responding I yell. "Call 911! Baby, wake up. I can't lose you! Wake up Crazy Girl! Please?" There's so much blood I'm screaming "Fuck, Baby! Please wake up! You can't fuckin' leave me. God, she's fuckin' pregnant." For the first time since my mom left I cry. I lay her down gently, and walk over to where they are holding the guy. "You do this? You hurt my Ol’ Lady and baby? You shoot my brother?"
