Reaper Chapter 10
I stared at the woman sleeping beside me. I couldn’t fucking believe a few hours ago had been real. Her letting me touch her, then her insistence that I take off my pants and take her. Or the fact she’d been a goddamn virgin. Who would have ever thought that? She was beautiful and sexy. How had no man ever touched her? But I wasn’t complaining. It made me feel all primitive and shit to know that I was the only man to ever be inside of her. And I intended for it to stay that way.
I had been telling her the truth when I told her it meant she was mine and I’d never give her up. I’d do whatever it took to keep her happy and with me, including killing anyone who tried to take her away. That meant Serpent and his fucking club of degenerates. He might think she was his, but he was sadly mistaken. I’d burn down the fucking world to keep her safe. He and his little club wouldn’t be a problem.
Just thinking about him made me see red and want to go out and track his ass to the ends of the earth. I knew the club and I would have to talk more about them today, but right now, I didn’t want to let that intrude. I wanted to savor being here with her, my little Banshee. I laughed softly. She’d probably want to kick my ass when she found out that was what I planned to call her. She’d been like a wild thing earlier. My own little princess who could turn into a banshee. A perfect match for an MC president.
And she was my old lady, there was no doubt. She was the woman I loved. Plus, hopefully, the mother of my children. I slid my hand up to cup her stomach. She hadn’t said anything earlier about using a condom. Maybe she forgot, but I hadn’t. I knew exactly what I was doing. If she wasn’t on something for birth control, my baby might already be in there starting to grow. I was thirty-seven years old. I wanted to be a father. Was it a jackass move? Maybe, but my gut told me she wanted kids too. If she insisted we wait, I’d do it. A guilty feeling started to niggle at the back of my head. I needed to give her a choice.
My thoughts were interrupted by her moving and stretching. I watched as her blue eyes opened and she looked at me startled for a moment, then she smiled. Her hand came up to caress my cheek. “Hi, what time is it?”
I looked over at the clock. “It’s three in the morning. I didn’t mean to wake you.”
She shook her head. “You didn’t. I need to go to the bathroom.”
I let her get out of bed. She hesitated and looked around. I chuckled.
“Baby, I’ve seen every inch of that delectable body. No need to cover yourself up.”
She blushed but went to the bathroom without covering herself. I watched her ass as she walked away. I grew hard just looking at it. Shit, we needed to talk, and as soon as we did, I needed to be back inside of her. I was certain I’d be insatiable when it came to her. I got up and followed her.
She was just finishing and looking at the shower. I knew she had to be sore and could benefit from the hot water. I flipped on the water. “Why don’t we take a shower together?”
She nodded after thinking for a moment or two. While we waited for it to heat, she knotted her hair up on her head. When the water was hot, I led her into the stall. She looked around in awe. “This is the biggest damn shower I’ve ever seen, Holden.”
“I had it made like this because I love lots of space. Come here and let me wash you.”
She stepped into me and I ran my hands down her ribs and up her back. Her skin was soft, and I loved the feel of it underneath my callused hands. I tugged her closer and kissed her lips as I ran soap all over her body with my hands. I teased her between her legs. She eagerly responded. I was hard as hell and we hadn’t done anything. I knew she could feel me pressed against her.
I fought to keep my mind on the task at hand. We needed to talk. I pulled back. She gave me a quizzical look. “Baby, we need to talk before things get crazy again.”
She stiffened in my hands and she took a step back herself.
“What do you want to talk about?”
she asked with a wary look on her face, like she expected me to say something that would hurt her. I yanked her back against me.
“Nothing that should put that look on your face. Goddamn, I told you, I love you! But you’re looking at me like you expect me to kick your ass out of here or something.”
“Things can be said in the heat of the moment that people don’t really mean. I’m a big girl, Holden. I’m not expecting or asking you to promise forever. If it’s just this one night, then that’s what it’ll be.”
Her flat-out cynicism pissed me off.
“Is that what you want? One night and then we walk away?”
She kept silent. “If it is, then maybe you shouldn’t have held on to that virginity for so long,”
I snapped. I saw the pissed-off look overcome her face and then she slapped me.
“I guess I shouldn’t have,”
she said as she opened the shower door. I grabbed her and jerked her back against my chest. She struggled to get away, but I held on to her. I wrapped her up tight in my arms and I hissed in her ear from behind.
“Fuck that! You saved that for me. And I’m not letting you go, Cheyenne. I’m sorry. I was being an asshole. But God, please say you don’t regret this,”
I half-pleaded. It would kill me if she did. Her body sagged as the tension left her.
She shook her head. “No, I don’t regret it. But that doesn’t mean you have to feel the same,”
she whispered. I turned her around so she could see my face. I lifted her chin so she would look at me.
“I do feel the same. I meant it, I love you, Cheyenne. This isn’t something I want to end. If I did, do you think I’d have taken you bare, without anything between us?”
I saw the realization dawn on her face. She hadn’t thought about it last night and that look told me she wasn’t on anything. Her mouth fell open and her eyes got round. She gasped.
“Oh my God, Holden, we didn’t use anything! I could be pregnant!”
I nodded and then kissed her softly on the lips. Just a tiny peck. “I know and we need to discuss that. I would be thrilled if you were, but it’s more than about what I want. I apologize. I shouldn’t have done it without asking.”
“You did it on purpose? You realized at the time we weren’t using anything?”
“Yeah, I did. I didn’t want anything between us. I want kids, Chey. Preferably soon, but it has to be what you want too. So, if you want to wait, we’ll use something.”
I mentally crossed my fingers that she’d say no. The idea of not being inside of her bare had me wanting to swear. She stayed quiet. I could see she was thinking.
After a minute, she spoke. “I’m stunned, Holden. I never thought that I’d ever find a guy I’d want to be with, let alone have the chance to have kids. Of course, I want them. I’ve always wanted kids. But it scares me. I didn’t have the best example of parents. What if I turn out to be like my dad?”
I laughed. “Baby, there’s no way you’d ever be like your dad. You’re too damn sweet and loving for that. You care about people. I saw how you were yesterday with all the Warriors’ kids. You’re a natural mother. Plus, look at how you tried to get your friend, Alisse, out of here. You’re protective of people. I know you’d been even more so with your kids,”
I reassured her. “The real question is, do you want them with me, and soon?”
She pressed against me and ran her hands up my back. I shivered. “Why don’t you take me back to that big old bed of yours and show me again what I’d be getting. I think that will help me make a decision,”
she whispered, then she nipped my pecs. I groaned and grabbed her ass to lift her up. I quickly rinsed her off and then got out of the shower. A quick toweling off and I had her back in my arms headed for that bed.
I kissed her the whole time as I laid her down on my bed. She was eagerly kissing me back, her hands running up my back and her nails scoring into my back. I moaned and nipped my way down her neck. I was hard and leaking already. I wanted to take my time, but the need to be inside of her, connected to her, was too much. I slid my fingers into her folds. She was slick with her cream.
I eased my fingers inside her pussy and scissored them to stretch her. She moaned and arched up. “Are you ready, baby? Can you take me?”
I asked. She nodded her head frantically. I didn’t wait. I pulled back my fingers and lined my cock up with her entrance, then sank into her in one long, hard stroke. She gave way slowly, and I swore at how fucking good it felt. As soon as I bottomed out, I took a moment to pause, catch my breath and to allow her to adjust. Then I became lost in the pleasure.
I powered in and out of her over and over, making sure to hit her clit and rub the head of my cock over her G-spot. I sucked on her hard nipples and kneaded them. I bit and sucked on her skin all over. I couldn’t get enough. Needing to go deeper, I sat up and back on my heels, taking her with me. This had her straddling my lap.
I used my hands to grip her hips and ass and I jerked her onto my cock harder and harder. She wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my hips. She was sliding onto me. “That’s it, ride me, Bright Eyes. I need to feel you come on my cock, so I can fill that pussy,”
I hissed. She whimpered and thrust forward faster.
It only took another minute for her to tighten around me and then she came screaming, “Holden.”
I gritted my teeth and kept stroking in and out until she was starting to come back down. I reached between us and tweaked hard on her clit. She moaned and came a second time. That was my cue. I let myself go, and I grunted as I filled her with my cum. I jerked and could swear I was coming from my fucking toes. It was so damn intense. It took me a few minutes to relax and fall onto the mattress with her. I reluctantly pulled out of her.
“That’s it, Banshee. You’re fucking for sure pregnant now,”
I whispered. She giggled and rolled her eyes.
“Pretty confident in yourself, aren’t you there, stud? What’s this Banshee shit? And why do you call me Bright Eyes?”
“You’re Bright Eyes because of your gorgeous blue eyes. As for Banshee, after the way you fought last night, you’re one when you get started. I love it. And yes, I’m confident that I can have you pregnant within a month, which means we have work to do.”
“Work to do? What work?”
“Getting you moved in with me, getting a ring, and then having the wedding,”
I told her, watching her reaction.
She gasped and shot up in the bed. “What?!”
I chuckled. “Baby, I love you. Even if you haven’t said it, I know you would have never let me inside of you if you didn’t love me too. I want to have kids with you. That means not only having you as my old lady, but as my wife. Why wait?”
“But... w-what if it doesn’t—”
I cut her off with a hard kiss.
“It’s going to work out. As long as we both want it, we’ll make sure of it. Do you love me? Do you want my kids? Do you want to be my wife?”
She sat there in silence for several moments, killing me by inches. Then she smiled and leaned over to kiss my lips. “I do love you, even if it’s too fast and crazy. It scares the hell out of me because it’s not logical. This isn’t me. However, I’d love to have your kids and be your wife, Holden. It seems I’m as nuts as you are.”
I growled then crowed in triumph. I kissed the hell out of her for several minutes before I got us back on track. “Then here’s what we need to do. Let’s get more sleep. I’m meeting with my brothers and Terror’s guys at ten. Afterward, we’ll work on the rest.”
“What about Serpent—”
I stopped her.
“We’ll talk about him later. Right now, I just want it to be us.”
She nodded. We started to kiss, and it wasn’t until after I’d had her for a third time, that we went back to sleep. I held her tight as I drifted. Today started the beginning of my new life and the ending of Serpent and his whole fucking club. I was going to be reaping souls and bathing in blood.
***
I looked around church at all the guys at the table with me. I hated to have them in here on a Sunday, but I wanted to get this started before Terror and his guys left. I had a feeling it would take more than just me and my club to shut this shit down with the Soldiers of Corruption. They were all looking at me, waiting to see what I had to say.
“Okay, let’s get started, so you guys can get headed home. You know what Cheyenne told us last night. Serpent and his club are up to some underhanded shit. We need to find out what and then shut it down for good. He’s not taking her anywhere. Not if I have anything to say about it.”
“Speaking of Cheyenne, she looked better this morning. Everything alright on that front,”
Ratchet asked with a grin.
I rolled my eyes. “Yes, she’s fine. Okay, it looks like I need to back up and do something else first. I’m claiming Cheyenne officially as my old lady. She’s going to be moving in here with me.”
They all looked a little stunned at the turn of events, but they smiled and called out their congratulations. I held up my hand to quiet them down. “Plus, we’re going to be getting married and having a baby. So, I need to get this shit handled ASAP with the Soldiers.”
This made all of them freeze in astonishment and look at me with their mouths hanging open. I fought not to laugh or smile. I liked shocking them. I sat back and crossed my arms over my chest as I smirked at them.
“How long have you known her?”
Viper asked me.
“Almost two weeks, why?”
“Jesus, Reaper, don’t you think that’s kind of fast?”
“How long did you know my sister before you decided you wanted her?”
I asked with a raised eyebrow. He grinned, nodded, and shut up.
“How about any of you other guys with wives? Did it take you months to know it?”
They all shook their heads no. I looked at my brothers. They seemed to be the most stunned. “I know none of us have old ladies in this club, but we’ve seen enough of the Warriors to know what it’s like when you do find the right woman. I finally know what they all felt like. You just fucking know it. I’m not waiting because people think it’s too soon. Same for having a family. I hope you’ll support that, but make no mistake, it’s happening. And you’d better fucking treat her with respect,”
I warned them.
“If you’re certain, that’s all we need, Reaper. Congratulations. Of course we’ll treat her with respect. We’re just surprised, that’s all,”
Maniac rushed to reassure me. The others all nodded in agreement. With this out of the way, I relaxed. I wondered if they’d try and fight me on this. I know it was one eighty from yesterday.
“Good, now back to Serpent. Cheyenne said they’re really part of the Soldiers of Corruption. We need to find out what we can about that club.”
Spawn rapped the table. “I did a little checking last night. Still digging, but it seems like they’re a rather notorious one-percenter club in the Blue Creek, Ohio area. Been there for years and they have been thought to be linked to just about every illegal activity you can imagine. Drugs, prostitution, guns, arson, enforcement, you name it. They’re strictly avoided by other clubs unless they’re like them. Fuck, if that’s what Cheyenne grew up around, no wonder she was so reluctant to be around any of us.”
“I’ve asked some of my contacts to see what else they can find out for us. I’ll help dig into them too,”
Smoke offered. He had those secret government contacts. He was or is some kind of government elite hacker we’d found out. I’d take all the help we could get.
“Thanks, Smoke, I plan to see what the Dark Patriots might know.”
The Dark Patriots was a group of ex-military guys, who did all kinds of black-ops shit for the government. A few of the founders I’d served with in the SEALs.
“I think it’s safe to say, if they’re targeting clubs this far away, you can’t be the only ones. Makes me wonder who else they might have approached with this. And what happened when they had no idea they were lying. Nothing good, I bet,”
Terror added as he tapped the table with his fingers.
“I had the same thought. And now that Serpent knows Cheyenne is here, there’s no way he’s gonna just walk away. She’s at risk every second she’s not behind these walls. I haven’t said anything to her about it, but she can’t be alone. I’d love to lock her up here, but I doubt Banshee would take that without a fight.”
Crusher burst out laughing. “Banshee! Hell yeah, that’s perfect. She sure turned into one yesterday. I thought you might get your ass kicked there, Pres.”
I flipped him off, but I grinned. “Shut up, jackass, you’re just jealous. Back to Cheyenne. She’s going to want to work. I’ll have us set up to keep her under surveillance while she does, which raises another worry. We can’t be sure he won’t find out that Alisse is a friend of hers. He could try to use her to get to Cheyenne. I think we need to have her move in temporarily too. Just so we can keep an eye on her. They can come and go to work together with the same escort. Are we all in agreement?”
All of them nodded. We spent another half hour talking tactics then called it a day. I wanted to spend time with Cheyenne and my sister. Terror and his guys weren’t planning to leave until the afternoon. I wanted my sister to get to know my woman better.
