I shut the computer down and stand, stretching. Her arms go around me. “Perfect timing.”
I bend and lift her up getting her smile. “Just in time for what?”
“Bridge, I was hoping you’d be my partner.” She cracks me up.
“Not sure I know that game. How about my game? It’s full contact, ending with victory cries,” I tell her while I walk us up the stairs.
She looks like she’s contemplating. “Do I have to chase a ball and do tackles?”
I laugh. “No, babe, I’ll bring you the balls and do the tackling.”
“Hmm, sounds interesting. Do I get a uniform?” She’s cute. I shake my head no. “Darn it all, I wanted to see you in those tight pants and shirt with a number. I could make you a shirt with number one on it.”
I set her down and run my hands up her back, feeling the corset under her shirt. I moan. I love the corsets. I love everything that’s sent to her, but this has got to be my favorite and she wears them all day. Maybe that’s what gets me. I know she’s waiting for me to see it. I lift her shirt off and see the deep purple fabric. “This is new, I like this one.” I move my hands to her skirt button.
“I got it the other day shopping with CJ and Joey.” She looks proud. When I see the panties I think she should be. I hold her hand so she can step out of it. When she turns I see her panties are a thong. Nothing on her ass all day. Just the thought has me hard.
“Turn all the way.” She turns red but complies. I moan. “All day and I missed it.”
She smiles. “You’re seeing it now.”
“Would have fucked you sooner.” I pull my shirt and feel her hands on my pants.
“I was busy before.” She pushes my pants down.
“Mmmm. Me too, but I would have made time for this if I knew your ass was bare.” I sit on the bed and kick my boots off, then finish undressing.
She giggles and I grab her throwing her on the middle of the bed. Seeing the ribbon going through the corset, I stop. “You trust me?”
“Of course,” she says with no hesitation.
I turn and pull some leather cuffs out of the drawer. She’s just watching as I get the leather strap to hook them up on the headboard. I pull her up and snap the cuff on one hand, then the other. She’s not scared, but she’s watching closely. “If you get nervous or this isn’t working for you, they’re snaps. You can unsnap it. Yeah?” She nods with a smile, making me want to jump right to using the flogger. I rein it in and open her legs, positioning myself in between. I kiss her and start moving down her neck. I bite her at the base of her neck and get a moan that keeps me moving to her tits. She arches up for me and I take it, sucking in one nipple, then flicking the bar on the other. As she gets louder, I slide down to the bottom of the corset and lick right across her stomach, then lower. She growls, lifting her hips.
“Please, Digs.” I smile up at her, liking the way her arms look above her head, her hair falling back, and the sexy corset with the bra pulled down so I see those tits.
I moan and bite down on the triangle she calls panties. My hand works its way up her thighs and I break the string on one side, then the other. Her scent is driving me fuckin’ crazy. My mouth is on her and I lose it until I hear her yell. She’s grinding into my face. I stop her from moving and kneel, wiping my face. Fuck, she’s beautiful. Pleasure is still on her face, she’s breathing heavy, and her arms are tied for me to have her any way I want her. Shit, I flip her, getting a surprised yelp out of her. “On your knees, babe, I want that ass in the air.” She’s slow to move, so I slap that pretty ass and she moves faster. I watch the pink on her ass and moan. I want to see the whole thing pink, but I’ll wait. I lean and get the lube. She moans. She knows what’s coming. She gave me her ass a few days ago and I’ve wanted back in ever since. I slide my fingers in, stretching her. When she pushes back I know she’s ready. “You want my dick in your ass?”
She moans, “Yes, please.” Her hoarse voice makes my dick jump.
I slide in slow. When her muscle relaxes I slide in more. “Fuck, it’s tight, but I want in, babe. Push when I do.” I put pressure on that tight muscle and she pushes, letting me in. “Fuck, that’s it, babe, take me in your ass.” I slide in deeper with the ladder bumping in at each rung and growl, moving faster. I bend over her and kiss her neck while sliding in balls deep. I push her head down so her shoulders are on the bed and straighten, moving in her fast. She’s making the sexiest sound spurring me to move faster. I grab her hair, making her ass tip up to me and pound into her. “So fuckin’ sexy with your arms tied so I can take you just how I want.” And I do. When she’s close I pull out and slide into her pussy. Fuck, it feels good. She’s clenching around me and I move fast. Letting her hair go, I hold her hip and move my hand to her pussy. I just barely touch her and she comes screaming. I lose it, pounding into her, then come with a growl. Fuck, she’s still squeezing my dick. I fall forward, holding myself up on my elbows, trying to catch my breath. Holy shit. I pull the cuffs off her and fall to her side, rubbing her shoulders. I don’t remember much of the how, but I must have been rough to come like that. She turns and I feel the wet. She squirted again. When she does she squeezes so hard I think my brain is going to explode. No wonder I don’t remember. At least it was good for her too. I smile. It was really good for her.
“How come you don’t use a condom anymore?” she asks softly.
I’m surprised, but she’s been more vocal lately, so I’m not too surprised. “I got the test results back. I know I won’t give you anything but me, and since I went without the cover that one time, there was no way I was putting anything between me and you. It’s a world of difference. Does it bother you?”
“No, but I should get on birth control if you don’t like the condoms.” I look down. She’s red faced but talking in her normal voice.
A baby. I smile. I’d like that. It dawns on me she wants birth control to stop that from happening. “Do you want to wait to have kids?” Why wouldn’t she want my kid? We have the room and even a crib.
She looks at me, then sits up. “I want kids, but it’s a little soon to start a family, isn’t it?” She’s nervous. What the fuck? She thinks we won’t work?
“I’m all in, Pen. Are you saying you have doubts?”
She looks away. She does. I’m instantly pissed. I sit up and grab my pants from the floor, putting them on. I need to get out of here and ride. “I don’t have doubts. I just thought we’d do everything in order,” she says softly.
Do everything in order. It hits me and I smile. She wants to be married, then have kids. I’m fuckin MC. One isn’t required for the other, so it didn’t occur to me she would want it that way. I’m a dick. I sit on the bed and reach into my pocket, pulling out the ring box. “I didn’t realize you needed that, but I was planning on asking anyway.” I open the box and look at her. Tears are running down her face. She’s surprised and crying. Women are so fuckin’ weird. “I want us forever, Pen. I don’t want to own you, I want to live and grow and experience life with you right by my side every day. Will you be my wife, my old lady?”
She launches herself at me. I drop the box and catch her by the waist, turning her so she doesn’t hurt her stomach. “Yes.” She starts crying. “Fiddlesticks!” Shit. I turn her sideways and hold her head to my chest, feeling relieved. I’m glad she said yes, but I almost fucked it up. I can’t imagine life without her in it. Thank fuck Tiny can’t read minds or I’d have a lifetime supply of tampons. I reach for the ring box and slide the ring on her finger. Now everyone will know she’s mine.
I wake up with a smile again. Stretching, I remember last night and look at my ring. It’s purple with diamonds around it, the perfect color in the perfect setting. He’s unbelievably sweet getting a ring in my favorite color. I’ll never get sick of wearing it. I kiss it, then look around, listening for him. After he changed the sheets and got us cleaned up, he told me he’s on call and working out of Security. He must be gone already.
I dress and get makeup on and my hair up. I hear motorcycles and look out the patio. There’s two MC trucks and a bunch of motor—bikes. I need to use the right words if I’m an old lady. I get some coffee and come back out to the patio.
I jog back to the house and see a Security guy standing at the side of the house. He was watching me and instead of being nervous I feel better knowing he’s right here. I don’t know what happened to Jess. She didn’t look hurt or anything, but I’m glad someone is watching over me. As soon as I’m inside, my phone rings. “Stay in the house, Pen. Someone just tried to grab Jess. The MC businesses are closed except for the Diner, Shop, and Bakery. The compound is on lockdown and I need to be here, but I need to know you’re safe while I am.”
That’s just what Jess said. “I will, Digs. Do your job. I’ll stay here today so you’re not worried.”
He sighs. “Thanks, babe.” He’s gone just like that. I call Wendy and let her know. There are no orders due for pickup until tomorrow and everything is caught up. She is the best darn worker ever!
I piddle around cleaning up the room, then drop the roast I took out yesterday in the crock pot and get some laundry done. When the cleaning people come in I go to the craft room to finish cutting out the Little Sisters’ aprons. Putting my iPod on, I drown out the noise the cleaners are making. I feel funny with other people cleaning my house, but Digs said he doesn’t want a maid, he wants a girlfriend. I guess now that’s wife, or he would say old lady. I’m so happy I want to call Tess and tell her. She probably already knows and they are dealing with whatever happened with someone trying to take Jess. I’ll wait for it to calm down and talk to her later or I can show her tomorrow at the Little Sisters’.
A woman pokes her head in. She’s older and has a kind face. I pull the bud out of my ear and she smiles. “I was wondering how you could work with all the noise,” she says, smiling. “We are off. I wanted to let you know there is a car across the street with a man in it. He seems to be watching your house.”
I nod, smiling. “Thanks for watching out for me. That’s Security. There was a problem earlier, so they were sent to watch over me until Digs gets home.”
“Oh, good. I was going to call Keith when I left, but I’ll leave it alone. The poor man is probably stressed out enough.” She waves and I hear her go down the stairs. I’m glad she knows the MC and was ready to call Keith, but he’s kind of scary with his questions and stuff. I run down when I hear the door close and make sure it’s locked, then I check the other doors. When everything is secure I go into the kitchen and add potatoes and carrots to the crock pot. It smells good. I grab an apple and yogurt and head back to the craft room. Since I have the time, I start cutting out fabric for the seat cushions we’ll be making next for ball games.
Digs doesn’t get home until almost ten. He’s tired but can’t talk about work, so I don’t ask. He eats a little piece of roast and tells me he ate earlier and Danny can’t miss a meal or he’s a bear. I just nod, but I think he’s really tired. I tell him to go up and I’ll take care of the food. He kisses my head and walks away. He really is tired. He listened to me.
I clean up the kitchen, making full meals in the heavy trays I bought especially for him. They snap tight and go in the freezer. I leave two meals in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. Now I can have my pizza and he can have the roast. I laugh as I go around shutting lights off. Some of the food does taste like cardboard, but the pizza is good. He’s just a frozen food snob.
I read until I fall asleep. I feel him pull me against him and his watch strap against my stomach, but it doesn’t hurt, so I leave it be.
Something wakes me up. Penny is against me, so it’s not her. The hair on my neck stands up and I reach into the drawer for my gun. A step at the bathroom and one in the hall. I slide off the bed and crouch down, seeing the shadow form in the bathroom door and shoot low, then swing toward the hallway. The light goes on and the pussy has his gun pointed at a screaming Penny.
“Drop it,” I tell the pussy. “You shoot her and you’re not making it out alive.” I hear movement from the bathroom area, but I can’t look away. “Pen, get behind me.”
“The man from the bathroom has his gun pointed at me,” she says softly. Fuck.
The pussy in the door looks satisfied with the situation. “You drop it or I’ll have him shoot her. It’s you we want, but I’m sure we can find something for her to do.” He moves his gun to me. Fuck.
It’s me he wants? “What do you want?”
He smiles. “Your geeky little brain will get us what we want and your girl will make sure of it. Drop it and get dressed.” I put my gun down in front of me and stand, looking at Penny and seeing how far the other pussy is. I should have aimed higher. The guy is leaning on the wall with his gun aimed at Penny’s chest.
“She needs clothes,” I tell the first pussy.
He nods. “After you get dressed, we’ll let her get pants and shoes, but I can see we need her to keep you in line.”
I throw her a wink and reach for my pants, hoping she stays calm. As I’m getting my pants on, I hit the button on my watch four times. Tracking will log a call for help. I get my boots on and grab my belt. “No belt. Get your shirt on and turn toward the wall.” I drop the belt and pull my shirt on. Turning to the wall, I wait to hear her move. “Get her some pants and shoes.”
They’re being too accommodating. I shot one and his partner isn’t shooting or even pissed. His job is to get us somewhere. I hit my watch twice, hoping they get to hold off. We need to see where this is coming from. Since Penny isn’t in any danger from these two, I feel like we have some time to find out what they want with me. I hear drawers open and Penny moving. Shoes are dropped and she moves off the bed.
Fuck! Bikes are coming our way, then one keeps moving past. The pussy on the side of me relaxes. He didn’t notice more than one closing in and only one moving away. He’s not a biker. Once she’s dressed, the pussy on the side of me tells the other one to cuff her. Shit. I hear the cuffs click and look at the pussy in charge. I decide that he’s tagged P1.
“Get her downstairs by the back door.” His gun is still on me.
“We go together or you’re shooting me,” I tell him.
P1 just looks at me for a good thirty seconds, then finally nods. “Take her down in front of us.” As they walk by, I want to drop kick P2 with his gun in her back. She looks at me, but she’s not scared, so I throw her another wink. She nods and walks out. I move as soon as P2 is out the door. “Give them room.” His gun is on my chest. I could hit it away and beat the fuck out of him with it, but we won’t find out who they’re here for that way. P2 is limping down the hall pretty good. When he’s ten feet away I follow. P1 follows me down.
At the hallway, P1 stops me. “You need your computer.” I look at P2 still with his gun in Penny’s back. He won’t hurt her. He’s leaning against the wall, breathing hard. I step into the computer room and hit my watch, letting them know we’ll be moving. I grab my backpack and swing it onto my back. P1 backs up. This is definitely not his day job. “Get her in the van.” P2 pushes off the wall and limps behind Penny out the door. How the fuck did a van get to my driveway and not be seen on tagging? Penny climbs into the van and moves out of my line of sight and I almost panic. I hear someone talking to her and just about push P2 out of the way to get inside. A new pussy is holding a gun on her. I tag him P3.
“Sit the fuck down.” I sit on a sideways bench seat. Penny is across from me. I wink at her and she winks back, making me want to laugh. Fuckin’ Penny. “You need your computer up and running.” I pull my laptop out and turn it on. “Get to the satellite.” I tag Geek and log in. “We want two things. The MC financials and what you have on the senator.”
I laugh. “If you knew to come to me you know I don’t do money. I’m strictly HS IT. I never dealt with the MC’s money. Ever.” He puts his gun on his lap and pulls a knife out as the van starts to move. I look at the front and P2 is driving. Shit, he didn’t look so good and shouldn’t be driving. P1 is sitting in the passenger seat with his gun pointed at Penny. Fuck. “Get me the easy first then you can hack the financials.” I type a message to Geek about the financials and the senator. P3 leans over to Penny and puts the knife under her shirt.
I don’t think so. I drop the laptop, grab his gun, and shoot P1. When P3 turns to look I punch him with a left, take the knife with my right, and slice across his throat. P2 is slowing down. I point the gun toward him and pull Penny over to me. There’s fuckin blood everywhere. She slips and I grab her before she falls. P2 yells and stops short. I aim at him again. “Fuckin’ move so I can shoot you again.”
The side door opens and Danny sticks his head in. “Come on with me, Penny.” I steady her and move her to him. “VP has him, Digs.” I relax my arm and step to the side as VP opens the door and pulls P3 out. I’m surprised to see him. He was off the grid today. Cloud said it was a massacre at the house in Dartmouth because someone put hands on Lori and Jake’s woman and here he is pulling P2 out of the van. I step down, thinking I love the fuckin’ Brotherhood.
Danny is taking the cuffs off her and she hugs him. “Thanks,” she says, like this is just another day. When she lets him go she turns to me. “Jiminy! You’re a mess!”
Danny laughs. “Go to the truck and clean some of that blood off you. Cleanup is on their way.” Pres and Rich pull up and Danny rolls his eye, making me laugh. “Don’t fuckin start!”
I walk away to wash up, smiling. His eye roll always makes me think of the fly story. Penny helps me wash by pouring bottles of water on my arm and hands. Rich comes over. “Why’d you have us wait?” He’s pissed.
“They came for me. I didn’t know the why and they were no threat until we were in the van. Once P3 moved toward Penny I had enough.” I shrug.
“You never put your old lady in danger! What the fuck were you thinking?” He yells like I’m a little kid.
I look at Penny. “Were you in danger?”
She smiles. “No. I could have hit the guy so many times. They didn’t seem like they were going to hurt us. They were too darn nice.” Danny cracks up.
I hug her and look at Rich. “They wanted what we have on the senator and the MC’s financials. My laptop is in the van.” He nods, clearly shocked by Penny’s statement.
“Can we go home now?” she says, making VP laugh.
“Geek’s got what they were looking for. Go ahead and take her home,” Pres says. VP throws me chin. I look around because we don’t have a ride.
Danny gives me his keys. “I’ll pick it up in the morning. Good job, Digs.”
I take Penny’s hand and start walking to the front of the truck, then stop, turn, and go back. “They knew I could get into the satellite.”
VP looks at Pres, then back at me. “Good thing you can handle yourself.” I throw him chin and go back to Penny.
“Are they mad?” she asks when I lift her in.
“No, Rich has to deal with the threat to Tess, so he’s more sensitive to women being in the line of fire. You weren’t scared, you didn’t see them as a threat and neither did I. I didn’t know what they wanted, so I gave them time to tell me. I would never let anyone hurt you. As soon as I saw him lean over, it was time to stop playing. That’s when I saw it as a threat.”
I look over at her and she’s nodding. “You moved fast. I’m glad you found out what they wanted. Now you’re not wondering and we can go back to sleep. I’m tired.” She just watched me kill two men and has absolutely no reaction.
I laugh, pulling into the driveway, again glad we’re not far. “There is steel running through you just like the other old ladies. I’m proud of you, babe.”
She’s got the biggest shit eating grin on her face. I love that smile and kiss it. “Come on, I’ll clean up so you can get back to sleep.” I need to show her the safe rooms tomorrow.
