Epilogue
Haze
Four Months Later
I t’s been almost four months since the night we rescued Anna from the clutches of the two evil men hellbent on destroying her, and their accomplices. Each man had his own motives. The contract killer took perverse pleasure in killing, and that factored heavily into the profession he chose for himself, as did his sidekick. The ex was a sexual predator. He crawled in and out of Greg’s bed and tried his best to exploit the hell out of Anna. Luckily, Trevor wasn’t half smart, or he would have been able to do much more damage than he did. Greg was a lot more complicated than his cohorts. He spent his life trying to gain his father’s approval while watching the old man squander his inheritance on travel, expensive wine, and spoiling his mother. It’s difficult and corrupting being one step away from fabulous wealth that you can’t access fully. It messed with his head and turned him into morally bankrupted man. In the end, he’d hung himself with his sheet while imprisoned in our lockup. I guess when you lose everything, it takes the fun out of living.
Standing over Anna watching her sleep, I enjoy the sight of her soft curves and long red hair. She’s a beautiful woman, but also a strong one. I guess with the life she’s led, she had to be strong. Or maybe she gets that from her mother. Today is our big day, and the day her mother finally gets discharged from rehab. My amethyst and pearl engagement ring glitters on Anna’s finger as memories rise in my mind of proposing to her on a raft in the river, covered with flower petals. I wanted so badly for it to be special for her, and if her tears of happiness were any indication, I nailed it.
When she rolls over in her sleep, I smile down at her, pleased that today I will be making her my wife. We might not have known each other for long, but as my club brothers had always said to me—when you know, you know. When her eyelashes flutter open, I crawl forward, covering her with my big body.
She laughs when she feels my hard-on pressing insistently against her thigh. I cup her face in my hands and pepper her with kisses.
“This is the perfect way to wake up,” she tells me. Her arms come up around my neck and her mouth finds mine. I don’t know how long we kiss but at some point, she wraps her long, lovely legs around my waist and rubs her pussy against my cock. Pride surges in my chest that she’s soaking wet for me. This woman of mine is extremely responsive. Of course she is. She loves me after all.
I slide down to taste her and she doesn’t fight me on that anymore. She knows I need her scent in my nostrils and her taste on my tongue. I love how excited she gets when I lick her just the way she likes. Of course I can’t resist teasing her a little. She never lets me do that for too long. Instead, she gets insistent by pressing my head down and gently riding my tongue. Anna is a woman who knows what she likes and will settle for nothing less in the bedroom. When she comes so hard she screams my name breathlessly, I’m satisfied.
I move back up over and tease her entrance with the tip of my cock. She wraps her legs more firmly around my hips and jerks me forward.
“Easy, darlin’. You’re going to hurt yourself one day doing that.”
She chuckles. “Your sword isn’t really a sword. You do know that, don’t you?”
I slide all the way in with one long stroke, taking her breath away. “Oh wow, that was a lot,” she says breathlessly.
“Yeah, I’m a great big pussy-full for small woman like yourself.”
She drops her forehead down against my chest and watches as I slide in and out of her tight pussy. “We look good together,” I tell her.
“Yeah, we do,” she whispers.
I lift one of her legs and hold it out, giving me more room to work with. It allows me to go deeper, which pulls sexy noises out of her.
“You want to be on top?” I offer, knowing she never turns me down when I ask that question. When she looks up at me, her expression is aroused and eager. “You know that I do.”
I hold her close and roll us while still inside her. She groans with pleasure.
Once she’s straddling my hips, I help her work up to a nice hard rhythm. I love watching her breasts jiggle and bounce as we ramp up our efforts.
Our hips crash together with the kind of force that creates sparks up and down my cock and makes the seed in my balls boil with anticipation.
We’re not using birth control because we want to have a baby together. Others cautioned us to take things slowly, but we want to experience parenthood while we’re young enough to have some hope of surviving it. The surgery she had after the accident on her ruptured ovarian cyst means that it might take longer for her to conceive, or we might have difficulties. But we decided to let nature take its course and see what happens. And if nothing did, then we’d look into other options.
I wrap my hand around her slim waist and pull her down harder onto my cock. Anna throws her head back and makes a deep guttural sound of pleasure as she comes around my ginormous cock. Two more thrusts and I dive deep and hold, filling her with my seed, praying that it will take hold and give me a child with Anna’s beautiful red hair and my protectiveness.
“That was it,” she says breathlessly.
Tugging her down onto my chest and tucking her head beneath my chin, I remind her, “You say that every time.”
She tilts her head to look up at me. “Well, this time it’s true. I can feel it taking hold.”
I bend down and drop a kiss onto her pretty upturned nose. “From your lips to God’s ear, my sweet.”
“We need an heir and I’m feeling dynastic today.”
I chuff out a laugh. “You mean that you need an heir. I’m flat ass busted.”
She giggles and the sound is so cute that it makes my cock begin getting hard again.
I’m joking, even without Anna’s money we’d be comfortable. I had my share in the tattoo parlor, and I’d gotten the insurance payout from the boat. We weren’t gonna start married life living in the back of the shop. While it suited me as a single man, now I had a soon-to-be-wife and hopefully a kid on the way, then we needed somewhere better—so after our honeymoon, we were going to check out condos.
Anna props up onto one elbow and smiles at me. “Once we’re married all my money will legally be yours too. You know that, right?”
I nod, knowing damn well, that’s not entirely true. The two-million-dollar insurance policy her dad left for her was paid out already, which makes it a premarital asset. Plus, I would never touch her inheritance. That’s hers to spend or invest, however she wants.
She runs a finger down my chest and circles it around my nipple. “It’s weird being my father’s only heir.”
“What I think is strange is how smart your stepbrother was, but he never even considered that inheriting a mansion, five sports cars, and a yacht didn’t quite leave him indigent.”
She sighs, glancing down to watch her finger toy with my nipple. “I think he was narrow-minded. He probably thought selling off all my father’s assets would mean he was giving up the good life. I’m glad we’re getting rid of the house because it holds no good memories for me. I heard we got a preliminary offer of just under two million dollars.”
“That’s good,” I say noncommittally.
In the past few months, I’d learned just how wealthy Anna’s family were, I think I was still having trouble comprehending exactly how much two million was. Which was why I focused instead on my own assets, as long as I could provide for my woman and family then that was all that mattered.
“I’ve decided to keep the yacht,” she tells me quietly. “You know, to replace your boat that got destroyed. I’m going to go ahead and register it in your name.”
“You don’t need to do that, darlin’.”
“Yes, I do. It’s my wedding gift to you.”
“Well, I’ll have to think up something of equal value to give you in return,” I respond thoughtfully. Her family’s yacht is pretty nice. I’m not sure I could come up with anything that could come close to such a generous gift.
Her hand slides down between us to rest on her stomach. “You already gave me the best gift of all. Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?”
I cup her face with one hand and give her a sweet kiss. “I’ll take either. It doesn’t matter one little bit to me. I’ll consider it a blessing if they’re healthy and love their mom as much as I do.”
Dropping a kiss onto the top of her head. I linger a moment and inhale the scent of her hair. “I would love a little girl who looks like her beautiful mother or a little boy with your red hair.”
She looks amused. “I see a pattern forming here. You want red headed kids.”
I nod, raking the fingers of one hand through her long, lovely locks. “Of course I do.”
Her eyes suddenly widen in shock, “Oh hang on, you’re a twin! What if we have one of each? What if I have triplets?”
I laugh, I guess it was a possibility, though my brother and his wife were just having the one, something that Trix was relieved about.
Anna continues, “Well, I don’t care what color their hair is. I want us to raise them to be smart capable humans who know right from wrong and how to work hard to get what they want and the importance of respecting others.”
“Those are some lofty aspirations, sweetheart. I hope they don’t end up with my intelligence. If they do, we’ll be running ourselves ragged trying to teach them all those important life lessons.”
She just smiles and brings one hand up to grasp my ear and give it a little shake. “You’ve already proven you’re the smartest brother in the Savage Legion MC.”
I’m more bemused than anything but I let her know, “Not many of my club brothers would agree with that assessment, I’m afraid. “I’m the fun-loving brother who drops ink for a living.”
“You were smart enough to pick me for your old lady.”
“Yeah, they’re all envious about that.” I don’t mind admitting to it because it’s true. Anna is beautiful, intelligent, wealthy, and resourceful. They see her as a woman with grit and determination because, despite everything she’s been through she’s unshakeable. I’m proud of her for that as well.
She shakes her head. “They’re envious of you because you’re totally ripped, all the club girls are in mourning today because you’re officially going to be off the market, and you actually have a fun-loving personality. Unlike some other brothers in this club, you know how to take a joke.”
“Wait. Back up to the part about the club girls being in mourning over me.”
She perks up. “Oh, that part is totally true. It’s a new thing they just starting doing. Every time a brother gets married to an outsider, they’re all going to show up in black. It’s something to do with all the brothers overlooking them as potential long-term partners.”
I sigh. “Let me guess, this is a Brittany thing, right?”
“Well, Siege gave her another chance at the same time he gave your friend Stephanie another chance. Both their bans got lifted.”
“She wasn’t my friend,” I point out, much less thrilled about this situation than Anna.
“You know, I’m not going to let their shenanigans ruin my wedding day.”
She gazes up at me, looking slightly confused by my response to the club girls’ nonsense. “If you want, we could go another round. I know how much you like having sex after sex.”
“You’re a woman after my own heart,” I say lightly as I prepare to enjoy another round of pleasure on my wedding day. Granted the sex was supposed to come after the vows but I can easily do both.
Before we can get down to business, someone bangs loudly on the door. “Haze, Anna’s mom is here and she’s asking to see her daughter.”
I shout through the door, “Tell her we’ll be right down, Vapor.”
“Fine but just so you know, she didn’t ask for you.”
Anna bursts out laughing at that. “I’m sure you and my mom are in cahoots about the honeymoon plans, you still not gonna tell me where we’re going?”
“All will be revealed later, sweetness,” I say, as I make the motion of buttoning my lips.
“I love your surprises.”
I take her hand in mine and drop a kiss onto the back of her hand. “So we’re really doing this thing, getting married, making babies, and living happily ever after on that fancy yacht you inherited from your old man?”
She nods, all smiles. “That sounds like my idea of a happily ever after. What about you?”
I cup her cheek and give her one more kiss before saying, “I love you, sweetheart. And I can’t wait to meet our child.”
She brings my free hand to cover her belly. “Good, assuming my gut reaction is correct, you’ve only got nine months to wait.”
“I’m going to laugh my ass off, if I come to find out you were right about this being the day we conceived our first child,” I joke.
“I’ll bet you hot sex on the beach under a star-filled sky that tonight will be the night, that’s if we haven’t made a baby already,” Anna says with a grin.
I get emotional for a moment, because everything with Anna is just a hundred times better than it is with any other woman. Even her bets are sweet and sexy.
I nod, “I’ll take that bet and any others you care to make in the coming years.
Her hands come up to cup my face. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, of course I am. It’s just that spending time with you, talking and making love drives home the fact that you’re my happy place. You’re everything that matters in life.”
“Aww, that’s about the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me in my whole life.”
She hugs me, pressing her soft body to my hard one. I slide my arms around her, never wanting this moment to end. My dad always told me that family was everything. Now I know what he meant. My soul will never be complete without Anna at my side. I vow to myself to never do anything stupid to drive her away or make her doubt my love for her for as long as I live and breathe.
THE END
