Final Ride Fallen Angel's MC 4 (2 page)

“I plan on makin’ more babies. Besides, I don’t like the idea of
one of those chaser’s watchin’ Griff. You’re his mother. He
needs
you
around.” The way her eyes light up sets my soul at
ease. She amazes me even if it’s just by the look in her eyes.

“I never said I wanted more kids. Look what having Griff did. I
have fucking stretch marks and I’m fatter.” Rolling her so she
lies under me, I smile at her.

“Those held my son. They protected him for months while he
grew. There ain’t one fuckin’ fat spot on you. I love all this.”
Running my hand over her stomach she looks away. I don’t like
that she feels the way she does.

Gripping her chin, I pull her face back to look at me.

“Don’t do that darlin’. You’re the most beautiful thing I have
ever seen. Now come on, let’s make a daughter.” Leaning down,
I crush my lips to hers as she giggles softly.

Chapter 3

Creed

Slamming the gavel down, I look around at my family.
Throughout all the hell and bullshit we have handled, I’m damn
proud to say that this family has kept it together. Life floats by
like a breeze. You never know what you might miss but with this
family, who cares.

“We got word on that store over on highway 6. I’m happy to say
that this club is now the proud fuckin’ owners of Angel’s liquor
store!” The guys all explode into cheers. We have been looking
into some legitimate ways to make money for a while now. Tank
and I knew about the store, but we just wanted to make sure it
was all still a go before we announced it.
I never realized just how much I want for my family. Not just the
guys either, all of them. The old lady’s that have our backs, our
children. They deserve more than the illegal aspect of what we
do.

“Shut the fuck up! With that bein’ said, we also got word on the
old Davis garage. We got that shit too brothers!” Yeah, I have
set a few plans into motion for this club.

“We need to work out who is goin’ where. We got a little bit
before that shit happens, so discuss it amongst yourselves. We
will vote on shit later on. Right now we need to talk about the
fuckin’ Dusts’. With so much shit goin’ on we’ve kind of turned
our backs to them. Not anymore. We have to think about our
plan of action in case they retaliate.” The guys nod their heads
as I look around.

As much as I’d like to say that we finished them off, I can’t. We
have moved on with our business ventures, but set them off to
the side. That needs to change though.

“We got word they are still a runnin’ club. Apparently, we didn’t
kill enough of the son of a bitches.” The guys laugh as I smile.

“No word on shit comin’ this way, but just to be
sure
we need to
be ready. I’m not puttin’ shit out there today though. We have
some celebratin’ to do!” Slamming the gavel down, I dismiss the
guys. I see the look in Ryker’s eyes though. He isn’t done with
this talk.
When all the guys finally file out, I sit down next to him, slapping
a hand on his shoulder.

“Nothin’ to worry over. We will get them handled.” He nods his
head, but I still see his eyes. He isn’t fooling
me
one fucking bit.

“I know, Creed. I just don’t like this shit. It doesn’t sit right with
me. I want every one of those motherfuckers gone.” I can see
the way he has his hands clenched. The way the muscles in his
jaw are clenched, is a pretty good giveaway too.

“I know you do. We all do. Right now isn’t the time. We got new
babies around here like a goddamn nursery. We got the
business’ we need to get up and rollin’. Makin’ a better future
for this club, and these kids, need to come before another war
brother.” Ryker drops his head before running his hand through
his hair. He knows I’m right, but this son of a bitch has a temper
straight from the devil.

“I know brother. Let’s do this. You
better
have my ass in the
goddamn garage though. You put me around that liquor and my
day is over.” Chuckling, we both stand and head out into the
main room.

I can’t stop the smile as I watch all the women and kids in here.
It makes my once dead heart fill with pride.

“Put that goddamn cigarette out!” Screaming at one of the new
prospects, he jumps slightly. Now, that is fucking funny. I made
a new rule of no smoking when the kids are in here.
“Jesus Christ Creed! He almost shit himself.” Tossing my arm
around Jada’s shoulders, I lean in and place a kiss on her head.
“Stupid prospect’sdumb ashell darlin’. Nosmokin’whenthe kids
are here. How
hard
is that one?” Shaking my head, I glance
around watching everything. Tank in the corner with little Griff,
Bella wandering around with my daughter in her arms. I don’t
know that I could be any prouder of everyone.

“What are you thinking about?” Glancing down at my beautiful
woman I smile.

“Everything. How perfect this is all turnin’ out to be. This club
has taken hit after hit, and it’s about damn time we have a little
peace in here. Look around sweetheart. Everyone’s happy and
smilin’. I never thought this day would come.” Jada pushes up
on her toes kissing me quickly.

“They have some great leaders. You guys make it easier for
everyone here, Creed. I’m proud of you.”

 

Hearing her say that to me means more than she knows. That’s
all I’ve ever wanted. I wanted her and Jason to be proud of me.

 

“He’s proud of you too, Creed. I know he is.” Nodding my head, I
think she’s right.

 

Chapter 4

 

Ryker

“Son of a motherfuckin’ bitch. Why the fuck are you creepin’
around like that?” Snapping as Bella giggles, I shake my head. I
swear that girl wants to give me a fucking heart attack.

“I wasn’t creepin’! I can’t help it if you don’t watch what you’re
doing.” With her hands planted on her hips, she beams at me. I
love that happy go lucky girl that stands in front of me.

“What are you doin’?” Walking past her, I head toward the
kitchen to make Ansley a bottle. I can’t believe that I’m on my
way to make a goddamn bottle and not grab me one.

I’ve decided that drinking all the time wasn’t in the best
interests of my little family. Occasionally will be fine though. “I
was bored. Dad sent Joey on a run, and I have nothing to do.
Give me her.” Bella walks over motioning for me to hand her
Ansley. After she snatches her from me, I heat up the water to
make a bottle.

“Where’d that little shit go?” Rolling her eyes, I chuckle. She
hates when I call him that.

“I don’t know. Up north somewhere. Hey, I wanted to ask you
for a favor.” Her tone doesn’t sit well with me. I know that tone.
It’s going to get one, or both of us, in trouble.

“I don’t like the sound of that shit.” Mixing the formula up in the
bottle I look over at Bella.

“I didn’t ask yet Ryker!” Shaking my head, I blow out a breath
before passing her Ansley’s bottle. I watch as my little girl
eagerly sucks away without a care in the world. I want that for
her always. I don’t ever want her to worry about anything.

“Fine. Ask me whatever the hell it is.” Leaning against the
counter, I cross my arms over my chest and watch her.

“I wanted to see if I could use your apartment for the weekend.
I need a break. I need to talk to Joey.” Raising my eyebrows, she
has my attention now.

“So, you plan on tellin’ him?” Bella nods her head slowly. I know
this is hard for her. How do you tell someone that you have
cancer, and there is nothing they can do about it? I know how I
felt when she told me, so I can only imagine what Joey will
think.
“I’m proud of you darlin’. I think a lot of that stress will fade
once you tell someone else. I wish you’d talk to your dad, but I
guess the little shit will do.” Bella giggles softly as she stares at
my little girl in her arms. I wanted so much more out of life for
Bella. She deserves so much more.

“Will you do something for me Ryker?” Her eyes come to meet
mine and I know she’s having a serious moment. I will give her
anything she asks for.

“You know I will if I can. I’ll do whatever you want sweetheart.”
Hearing her little sniffles as she looks back at Ansley, my chest
tightens. I hate seeing Bella cry. I hate that there is nothing I can
do to make her better.

“Make sure these babies know I loved them. Make sure that no
matter what happens, they know how much you guys love
them. Growing up without dad was hard. I never knew if he
loved me, or hated me. I heard so many stories from my mom
and none of them were good. I liked to think that he was out
there looking for me though. Just promise me that these babies
won’t have to feel that pain like I did.” Taking the last few steps
toward her, I pull her and Ansley against me.

“You never have to worry about that sweetheart.” The door
opens, but I don’t release my grip on Bella. She needs this right
now and fuck, so do I.

“Everything ok?” Jersey’s voice sends shivers over my body. I
love that she can do that to me.
Tilting my head, she must notice the tear that escaped. I don’t
fucking cry, at least I didn’t until Jersey came around. She brings
out new emotions within me.

Jersey’s hand comes to rest on my back before Bella pulls back.

 

“I’m going to burp her, and then we are having girl time.”
Kissing Ansley’s head, she smiles before leaving the kitchen.

 

Jersey moves to stand in front of me with her arms wrapped
around my waist.

 

“I love you Ryker.” Nuzzling my face into her hair, I never want
to let go.

 

“I love you darlin’.” We stand in silence for a few minutes, which
I’m thankful for. I needed this little bit of time that we have.

“You want to talk about it?” I blow out a breath knowing there is
nothing I can say. I promised Bella I wouldn’t say a damn word,
and if it’s the last thing I do, I won’t.

“No. Just life.
Chapter 5

 

Creed

“Alright. Snake called. Said that we are ready to roll with the
liquor store. You motherfuckers can’t be over there drinkin’ all
the product either.” I feel so damn proud in this moment. My
beautiful old lady stands by my side as we watch the guys gear
up to start working on the store. Angel’s Liquor is going to do
this club proud, I can feel it.

“Are you a little excited?” Jada looks up at me with those big
blue eyes. I could get lost in those eyes.

“I’m beyond that darlin’. This is the first legit business we are
takin’ on. I want more for this club than what we have now.”
Leaning down, I kiss her gently before smiling. She is the best
thing that has ever happened to me.
“I know it is. I’m proud of you guys.” Smiling back at me, I want
to fuck her on this counter.

“That right there means the world to me sweetheart.” I can’t
stop looking at her. She’s magnificent.

 

A hand slapping me on the shoulder pulls me away from her.

“What the
fuck
brother?” Tank grins like a lunatic at me. That
motherfucker has been crazier than usual. It’s not a bad thing
though, just strange.

“I want in on the damn garage Creed.” His smile turns serious as
he stares at me. I know he wants in that garage, and that’s
exactly where I wanted him anyway.
