Chapter Thirteen
Levi “Ice”
Three weeks later…
Things have been fucking amazing. I was worried I would feel like a third wheel, or discover that this was just some experiment they wanted to try.
So far, they have both been very clear on their intentions. They include me when they want to spend time with the three of us, which was been often, but I had also spent time with them separately.
This relationship has become more than I could ever have hoped for.
Still, I have my insecurities that one day they are both just going to wake up and say this was fun but realize they only want each other.
I spend too much time preparing myself for more heartbreak, and I don’t know how to stop it.
We have also been spending a lot of time at the club. No one really seems to care that we are all together.
Maybe the club whores care, but their opinion doesn’t really matter to me.
One has been currently staring at me for the last hour while I’ve been shooting the shit with Rock. I don’t remember seeing her before, so I think she must be new and doesn’t realize I’m spoken for.
“I think some drama is about to be stirred up,” Rock says lowly.
I chuckle. “Why’s that?”
“That new club whore hasn’t taken her eyes off you, and I think she’s seconds away from making her move,” Rock whispers.
I look over and smirk at him. “I don’t know who will not like that more; Ana or Viking.”
“Shit, from what I have seen over the years, they were always equally possessive of each other. No one has the guts to hit on them or you since you guys started something,” Rock says.
I feel a hand run along my arm stopping what I was going to say. I look over and raise an eyebrow at the woman standing there while moving my arm out of her reach.
“Don’t touch me,” I state.
“I can help you find some relief. You must carry a lot of tension in that hard body of yours,” she purrs after leaning in closer.
Rock chuckles beside me and whispers low enough for me to hear, “3…2…1…”
“Touch my man again, and I will personally see to it that you won’t be able to touch anyone ever again,” a voice growls out. I cover my mouth with my hand to hide my smile.
The woman looks over to who spoke and is met with a glare from Ana.
“He can’t be your man,” the woman says with a scoff while crossing her arms over her chest.
Ana mimics the move and narrows her eyes at her. “And why not?”
“Because you were just sitting on the lap of that brother over there. Unless you are a club whore too,” the woman sneers.
“They are both mine,” Ana says with a smug grin.
The woman looks over at Viking and then to me. Finally, she looks at Ana. It’s clear that, for some reason or another, she finds her lacking. “There’s no way a woman like you would be able to keep both of these men satisfied for very long.”
“A woman like me?” Ana asks in a deadly calm voice.
The woman nods her head and turns to me, clearly dismissing Ana.
I have my arm on the bar watching everything unfold. I’m curious as to how this will go.
She raises her arm to touch me again, but it’s grabbed by Ana. “What the fuck did I just tell you?” she hisses low in the club whore’s ear.
“Let me go,” the woman snaps while trying to pull her hand back.
“Once you learn your lesson,” Ana says calmly; too calmly. I look over at Viking who is smirking. I glance over at the rest of the brothers who are looking really amused and excited.
“No one touches what’s mine,” Ana snaps. I turn back to her and the club whore just in time for me to see her slap the woman’s hand on the bar and stab a knife through it.
The woman screams out in pain as my mouth drops open in shock.
“Touch either one of them again, and I won’t be so nice next time,” Ana hisses in the woman’s ear.
I haul Ana into my arms and kiss her hard. “Fuck, you’re crazy,” I say against her lips.
“Well you can’t escape,” she says with a smile as we are both ignoring the wailing woman.
“Someone get Doc to patch and clean her up,” Prez orders with a laugh.
Once the woman is out of the room, the room bursts with laughter.
“Fuck, I haven’t seen that side of Ana come out in a long time,” Knuckles says with a laugh.
“Damn, it’s still as hot as I remember,” Viking says while bringing his arms around the both of us.
“I feel like I’m missing something,” I say while looking around.
“I can’t tell you how many times Ana put people in their place. She likes to keep a knife handy for those occasions. Why do you think the club whores never went near Viking? Especially when they were having problems,” Tank says loudly.
I look at the club whores who all nod, looking scared of Ana.
“Who knew you being a little psycho was such a turn on,” I rasp in her ear.
Everyone gets back to their conversations and, after awhile, I see the club whore walking out the door holding her hand with a pained look on her face. She doesn’t look at anyone as she leaves. I can’t help but smirk and shake my head.
Ana was the last woman I thought would be crazy. Fuck, I guess I would be too if I saw anyone else besides Viking hitting on or touching her.
As much as I worry they will get sick of me, they are still mine. Even if I’m not sure I’m theirs.
Maverick “Viking”
I head over to the pool table and leave Ana and Ice to themselves. Axe is standing there waiting for someone to play a game with him, since he’s the best. He usually kicks everyone’s asses.
“How do you do it?” he asks when I’m close enough.
“Do what?” I ask, turning to face him.
“Share your woman or man with each other? You don’t get jealous?” he asks quietly.
I take a good look at him and can tell he’s very serious about his question. “I knew it had to be Ice. When I thought of anyone touching Ana, man or woman, I wanted to kill whomever would dare. When I thought about Ice touching her, I didn’t get the same feeling of rage and possession; it was almost like she was his too and, somehow, I knew that,” I tell him honestly.
“Wow. When you put it like that, it doesn’t seem so crazy,” he says, looking at me like he sees me in a new light.
“Is there a reason you want to know?” I ask, looking around to make sure no one is listening.
He shrugs and looks away. “I’m open to the idea of anything; whether it would be a man and woman, or just a woman. I was just curious for if I ever happened to be in that situation.”
I slap him on the back and start playing pool.
I think of the nursery that I’m currently working on for Ana. I haven’t told her or Ice about it. I just want it to be something I did. I know it won’t make up for everything I’ve done, but it’s not about that. I just want her to be happy, and I know this will bring a huge smile to her face.
I’ve been trying little things here and there to prove that I am the man she fell in love with. I’ve told her I loved her many times, and she responds by smiling or kissing me. Fuck, it hurts and guts me every time I don’t hear those words from her lips.
I guess I never realized how much I missed hearing those words from her until they were taken away, and I know I haven’t done nearly enough to earn them.
“Hey Axe, can you help me with something tomorrow? Ana and Ice are going on a date, and I want to surprise them,” I ask my brother.
“Sure thing, brother,” Axe says in agreement.
“I hope everything works out for you guys, brother,” Axe says when no one speaks for a few moments.
“Me too. This is everything I’ve ever wanted,” I tell him.
We get back to playing pool. While playing, I think about how I almost lost everything that mattered to me, but now things seem to be working out how they were supposed to be.
I look back over at my partners and think how crazy it is that I don’t feel jealous. The way they look and smile at each other makes me happier than I ever thought I could be.
I glance down at Ana’s stomach and can’t wait until we add to our family because that’s what we are creating; a family.
While I’m looking at Ana, I watch as she looks over at Dani and gives her a nod towards the bar.
I look at the bar in confusion and see the prospect working the bar like he usually does. This prospect is actually getting voted in or out tonight.
Dani smirks and walks over to the prospect. He looks over at her and listens before looking around the bar and then leaving the room.
Ana gets up quickly and runs towards the bar. I can’t help but grin when Ana gets under the bar and Dani helps by placing things in front of her, hiding her.
I shake my head. Those two are going to be trouble together. I can tell.
I look around the room, and the brothers are all watching with amusement. It doesn’t look like anyone is going to say anything. We all just sit back and watch what they are going to do.
Everyone gets back to their conversations as the prospect comes back.
Dani is in the same spot she was when he left, smiling sweetly at him. She talks to him for a few minutes before he lets out this high-pitched squeak of terror.
That’s when the room erupts in laughter.
He looks down and, when I assume he sees Ana, he narrows his eyes at her and shakes his head but there’s a smile on this face.
He helps her up as she continues laughing while holding her legs together.
“His road name is going to be easy to decide tonight,” Axe says with laughter in his voice.
I nod my head in agreement.
“I think we are going to have to keep an eye out on Dani and Ana. Those women are going to keep us on our toes for sure,” I tell him.
“You’ve got that right, brother,” Axe says in agreement.
“Church,” Prez says with a grin on his face.
I walk over to Ana and give her a kiss before I follow my brothers into the room where we hold Church.
We talk business as usual before we get onto voting on the prospect who has completed his prospecting period.
“Now what do we think of Jason?” Prez asks the room.
“He’s going to be a loyal brother. He never complains, even when we gave him some ridiculous tasks,” Tank says.
“He’s also respectful to the Old Ladies we have, and Mama,” Axe speaks up.
“I’ve also seen him turn down club pussy because he has tasks to complete,” Flame chimes in.
“Let’s vote. Who is all in favor of patching in a new brother, Jason?” Prez shouts.
Everyone agrees on voting him in.
“Whiz, go get our new brother, Squeak,” Prez says with a grin.
The name he will be given causes everyone to laugh before Whiz leaves the room.
We all get a serious look on our face before the door opens again.
We have to mess with him a bit.
“Prospect! You have completed the prospecting period,” Prez says, looking at him with a glare.
The prospect nods his head and swallows hard.
“You need to take off that prospecting cut,” Prez says to him.
Squeak’s shoulders fall as he slowly removes it.
Prez stands up and walks to the other side of the room where Squeak’s new cut is.
“Welcome to the club, brother,” Prez says before handing it to him and grinning.
Squeak looks up at him in surprise.
“Here’s your new road name and patch,” Prez says before handing him a stitching with “Squeak” on it.
Prez looks around the room with a grin. “Dani told me what she and Ana wanted to do. I had a couple made to choose from based on how he reacted to the prank.”
I chuckle. Of course, Dani told him. She probably wanted to make sure it was okay to scare him, since she is just getting used to club life.
“Let’s go celebrate our new brother,” Prez shouts before everyone cheers.
