Celeste #2
“Oh, I love that idea! Do you have a celebration or what?”
Hulk launched into a description of how a patching ceremony worked. When he was finished, I could hardly wait the three weeks until then.
“Where do you want to sit?” he asked.
We scanned the room, trying to decide where to go. It was while we were doing that that the door opened, and in came women like the ones from last night. I couldn’t tell if they were the same ones, but I thought a few might be. Last night, I’d been too worried to pay attention.
As before, most were overly made up and had teased hair.
Their clothing was so sparse, I worried they’d catch pneumonia.
And it seemed an outfit wasn’t complete without stripper heels or boots.
Although, to be honest, there were a couple of boots that I thought were sexy as hell.
I wondered if Hulk would like them on me.
I pictured myself wearing nothing but them.
Hmm, I might have to see about doing that.
“Celeste, if they bother you, we can go home,” Hulk said quietly in my ear.
“No, they don’t. Now that I know you’re mine and you won’t be going off with one of them, I can handle them. Do they come every night after the kids go down? Explain who they are and how this works.”
“They can be here any night they want, but yes, the rule is not before ten p.m.. In most clubs, they’re a combination of what we call hang arounds, which are random women from town and other places who want to come party with bikers, and do other things.
The second kind are club bunnies or club sluts.
They have a variety of names. They’re women who a club helps to support in some way.
In exchange, they’re available to any member for sex whenever they want. ”
“You have women on call to give you sex?” I exclaimed.
“No, we don’t, not anymore. When we were all single or only a few had claimed their old ladies, yes, we did.
However, with more families in the club, we decided to do away with bunnies.
It’s not like there aren’t enough hang arounds or other women to satisfy any sexual needs.
Plus, club bunnies caused more drama than it was worth to keep them.
Hell, over the past three years, we had to get rid of two.
When we abolished them all after Twisted claimed Zari, that removed the final three. It was Aliya who brought it to a head.”
“Aliya? How?” I found what he said enthralling. As he spoke, I watched those women disperse and set out on their prowl. It was kinda like watching wild animals stalking prey.
“One of them was into Twisted big time. She wasn’t happy when he claimed Zari. One day, she was here and got into an argument with Aliya, who told her to leave, I think. It wasn’t after ten o’clock. Fiona ended up slapping Aliya. That was the last straw.”
“I would hope so. A grown woman slapping a sweet girl like Aliya is ridiculous. Do any of those bunnies come as hang arounds? And are there any of these women who have a thing for you that I should be aware of? I need to know who I have to protect you from. And make sure they know you’re claimed.
Maybe I should hang a big sign around your neck claiming you’re mine,” I tease.
He laughed. “Babe, as soon as your property cut comes, which I ordered today, they’ll know I’m taken. But if you want more, I have a couple of ideas.”
“Oh, really. What are those?” I asked.
“For one, I’ll ask Agony to tattoo your name on me. You can pick the spot. The second one is that we put wedding bands on each other. But, I know, it’s too soon for that, but I want you to know that it’s coming and I’ll wear a band.”
His last idea left me stunned. I stood there staring up at him. He watched me. Finally, I regained the ability to speak.
“Hulk, you know how to blow a woman’s mind. However, I love both those ideas, and I’m all for them. And I’d like to get a tattoo, too. I’ve always wanted one.”
“Goddamn, you make me so happy. I want you. We need to head home soon,” he growled.
“We will. But first, you didn’t answer all my questions. Are there any who have a thing for you? And are bunnies among the hang arounds?”
“As far as I know, none of them has a particular liking for me compared to my brothers. As for bunnies, yes, they do come sometimes. Last night there were two of them. Tonight, all three are here. Do you want to know which ones they are?”
I thought for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, I do.”
He pointed first to a short-haired brunette. “That is Jenny, the next one to the right of her is Natalie. And then on the other side of Natalie is Toni.”
Natalie was blonde, and Toni had long dark hair. All of them were pretty, though less makeup would make them even prettier. I didn’t ask if he’d slept with all of them. I figured the answer was yes. Why torment myself with confirmation?
“Troublemaker, no woman I’ve ever been with holds a candle to you. I’ll never want or need any of them again. I won’t cheat. I swear that on my life and my club’s honor,” Hulk added. I saw sincerity in his expression. I smiled at him.
“Malachi, no man I’ve ever been with compares to you, either. And I’m monogamous. No cheating. I don’t have a club to swear on, so you’ll have to accept that I promise on my niece’s life.” I whispered so no one would hear me using his real name.
He swept me against him. The kiss he gave me set me on fire. We ravished each other. When he let go, I was dizzy.
“Why don’t we go tell Capri—” he was cut off by a woman’s voice addressing him.
“I see you already have someone. Can I sign up for your round two?”
Glancing over, I found the former bunny Toni standing there.
Hulk had admitted to me earlier today, while we were in the tub, that, because of his size and vigor, he hadn’t often been able to satisfy himself with one woman fully.
The way he could go multiple rounds, I understood that.
He told me how amazing I was and that I utterly drained and sated him, but if I ever was too sore to continue, to tell him.
I held in my flash of anger at her offer.
It wasn’t her fault. I had no property cut on.
How she reacted to the news of who I was would determine how nice I remained.
Hulk’s arms tightened around me as he turned me to face her and drew my back flush against his front.
His erection was pressing against my back.
“Toni, your offer is declined,” Hulk said.
“Why? If someone else has that spot, then I’ll take number three. I know you’re good for it.” She cast him a sexy smile. My fist clenched.
“Yes, it is claimed, all of my rounds, as you call them, have been. Before you say more, let me introduce you to the woman in my arms. This is Celeste. She’s my old lady. Her property cut hasn’t arrived,” he told her point-blank.
First, surprise registered on her face, then disappointment, and finally mortification. Her cheeks turned red. She took a step back.
“Oh God, Hulk, I’m so sorry! I had no idea. No one mentioned that you claimed someone. I’m so embarrassed. Celeste, please accept my apology. I had no idea. Otherwise, I would’ve never approached Hulk.”
Her candor switched my irritation to acceptance. I even went as far as to hold out my hand when I replied to her apology.
“Hello, Toni. Thank you for the apology. We were just talking about ways to show he’s claimed before you came up.
I understand the property cut shows who claims me.
I teased him that he had to wear a sign around his neck.
He declined. Would you help me spread the word until I find another way to mark him? ”
I saw disbelief there, then she grinned and nodded. “A sign would be good, but since he refuses, I’ll gladly help spread the word. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Hulk is a great guy. You’re a lucky woman.”
“Thank you, and yes, I’m blessed.”
“Toni, I’m the one who has been blessed. I don’t deserve a fantastic woman like her, but I’m grabbing onto her and never letting her go.” His smile toward me was so loving.
And that’s how our last ten minutes in the common room were spent talking not only to Toni, but also to the other two former bunnies.
They came over to see why Toni never rejoined them.
Jenny and Natalie were as surprised as Toni, but they welcomed me.
It wasn’t how I thought our time there would end, but I felt good about it when we left for the house.
We asked Capri if she was coming with us.
She said yes, so we said goodnight to the others.
Walking into the house, I hesitated. Capri wasn’t a child, and she knew that Hulk and I were having sex. However, I’d never had a man stay the night. She had never seen anyone in my bed. Hulk came to the rescue.
“Capri, your aunt slept with me last night. I hope that doesn’t bother you. I figure we’re all adults here and can handle that. But if you can’t, speak up. It’ll be tough to be separated from her, but if you need time to adjust, we’ll do it.”
“Lord, no, don’t you dare sleep apart because of me. I’m fine with it. It will be weird only because she’s never had a guy stay the night. I promise not to come bounding into the room and bounce on your bed in the morning,” she vowed with a wicked grin.
“If you do, you may be scarred,” he teased.
And just like that, everything was arranged, and we split off to our rooms. I knew what awaited me once we were behind the closed door, and I looked forward to it. I’d just have to remember to keep the noise down. My body was already preparing itself for his lovemaking.
