Hulk Chapter 10 #3
“I went back to see him after I began prospecting. I told him what I was doing and all about the club. He told me he didn’t want to hear about my life and that I should go and not come back.
It hurt. I was angry, some ugly words were thrown around, and then I left.
I discovered when I ran into someone I knew growing up that he died when I was twenty-two.
He had turned into an alcoholic. He always drank after Mom died, but he hadn’t been what I’d call a full-blown alcoholic.
Looking back, I think losing her ripped something vital away from him.
Having his son still with him wasn’t enough. ”
“I’m so sorry, baby. That makes me want to cry,” Celeste sniffed.
“Don’t cry. I’ve had a wonderful life overall since I became a Pagan. The only thing lacking is a woman to call mine and a family. I’ve always wanted kids and a strong woman by my side. And there’s something I need to tell you.” I paused.
“What?” she asked fearfully.
“That woman I need and want to make my life complete. The one who will be the center of my universe and my old lady. She walked into my life over a month ago, and she’s captivated me more every time I see her. And last night, she came to my bed and gave me the most mind-blowing sex of my life.”
I was barely speaking above a whisper at the end of my confession. I held my breath waiting to see what she’d say. Yes, she said she didn’t usually sleep around, but what if she wasn’t looking for forever, or at least not with me?
A loud gasp came out of her, and her eyes were pleading with me. “Please don’t mess with me, Malachi. If you are, and this is a joke, I’ll never get over it.”
“Why won’t you get over it?”
“Because it means the man who’s taking over my heart tore it apart and left me to try and pick up the pieces, which I don’t know if that is possible, even at this early point.
My dream is to have a man who’s only mine.
He doesn’t look at or touch other women.
He accepts that Capri will always have a place in our lives and, for a while, our home.
He’ll love our children and me. He’ll be the center of my heart with our kids.
That it would be a forever relationship. ”
“So you’re saying I’m already in your heart and I’m the one for you?”
“Yes, and that terrifies me. I never planned to tell you this. It’s crazy sounding, and I know it, but it feels true and right. I’ve been falling for you since the first time we met.”
“Thank God. I’ve been falling for you, too.
Before last night, I thought I was headed quickly to the falling-in-love stage.
I was wrong. I’m already in it. And each day, I know it’ll grow.
I’m prepared to take however long it takes to have you accept me as your man and to fall for me.
However, I planned to let my brothers know in next week’s church that I want you as my old lady so they can vote on it.
Agony sees no one objecting. Twisted is all for us being together.
The club has accepted you and Capri. So I guess that only leaves me with one thing to do. ”
I paused to kiss along her jaw and up to her ear. “Celeste, will you be my one and only old lady?”
I cut off her squeal with my mouth. It was another intense lip lock that lasted a couple of minutes before I let go so she could answer me.
“Yes, yes, I’ll be your old lady, even if it sounds completely mental to say that. As long as you’re sure of your feelings.”
“I couldn’t be more sure of them. Hot damn, let’s finish this, and then we need to start sharing the news. I’ll ask Agony if we can have a quick church today to get the club’s official determination. Then I can present you to them as mine.”
“I’d love it if we could. However, first, I need to speak to Capri about us. She’s been through so much lately, I hate to make more changes, but I can’t wait.”
“I’ll see if Twisted will send her home. You talk to her first, then I want to chat with her, with you present. I hope she already knows she can trust me.”
“I think she does. Okay, let’s do this.”
There was more excited chatter as we finished breakfast and the cleanup. Once it was out of the way, I texted Twisted.
Me: Can u send Capri to my house? Her aunt needs to talk to her.
Twisted’s reply came back fast.
Twisted: Sure, how soon?
Me: 15 minutes.
Twisted: Got it.
After sending that off, I sent one to Agony.
Me: Can we have a short church to get the guys to vote on Celeste as mine?
Agony: No need. I already sent out a message this morning & asked for everyone’s vote. It’s official. U have an old lady. Congrats.
I almost dropped my phone when I read it. Instead, I re-read it three more times until I knew I wasn’t hallucinating. When I was convinced, I rushed over to her. She was wiping down the counter. I hoisted her in my arms and swung her around.
“Kai, what has gotten into you?
“Read this, and you’ll see.”
I held out my phone. Celeste read it, and her look of astonishment made me twirl her again before setting her back on her feet. Dropping a quick kiss on her mouth, I messaged Agony back.
Me: Thx a million.
Agony: Welcome.
With that knowledge, it was hard not to rush to the clubhouse and thank everyone, but I wanted to be here for the discussion with Capri.
There will be time to announce later. Everyone should gather again tonight at the clubhouse.
I’d find a way to get her and Capri to stay again.
Only we’d have time to go to town and get them their own things.
However, I did one thing as we waited for Capri.
I messaged Knight to ask him to order her a property cut.
I gave him the size, which, due to her tits, was larger than she would otherwise need, and the name I wanted on it.
He sent me back a thumb-up and a congratulations.
There was a hard rap on the glass door, then it opened, and in strolled Twisted with Capri. She was looking around in awe. It took Celeste running over to her and hugging her to snap Capri’s attention to us. I shook Twisted’s hand.
“Thanks for bringing her over, brother. We need to speak to her.”
“No problem. Does it have anything to do with that text Agony sent this morning?”
“It might. Thanks for voting. I hope like hell she’s alright with it. If she’s not, I don’t know what we’ll do.”
“She will be. I heard her talking to Aliya about how nice everyone here is and how she thinks you like her aunt. I guess you didn’t hide your interest well. She loves her aunt. I can’t see her denying her happiness. Capri isn’t petty that way,” Twisted assured me.
“Good morning, Hulk. You have a fabulous house. All that glass is cool,” Capri gushed.
“Thanks. I like it. And your aunt said she did. Here in a bit, we’ll show you around.”
“That’s my cue to leave. Capri, you’re welcome back at the house any time. I know you and Aliya were planning something this week. Don’t be a stranger, honey. And I’ll see you later, Celeste.” He smiled bigger at my woman.
“Thank you, Twisted. I’ll be back over, I hope, to see her before we leave,” Capri replied.
He nodded and headed for the door. As he left, I turned to the ladies. “I’ll go hang in the bedroom. Let me know when it’s okay to join you.”
It was hard not to kiss Celeste before leaving the room, but I resisted.
Both thanked me. Entering my bedroom, I saw the bed had been made.
I sat down gently so as not to mess it up too much, then turned on the TV.
I’d channel surf until something caught my attention or I was asked to join them. I prayed that their talk went well.
