Epilogue
BIG RED
THREE WEEKS LATER
W aking up before the sun has fully risen, I stare down at Alice as the sun's glow highlights her beautiful face. I don’t know what I did to deserve her, but I will cherish her for the rest of my life. I never thought I would fall for a woman the way I have for her. She owned my heart the moment I laid eyes on her.
To think, just a few months ago, I was a single dad of two, and now I was engaged with another baby on the way. What’s even crazier is that I didn’t want more kids, but now that I have Alice, I want at least two more.
My life is finally looking up in all aspects and I couldn’t be happier.
My relationship with my mother has been progressing every day. We have lunch at least twice a week, and I talk to her over the phone every day. She asked me to join her for one of her therapy sessions, and I agreed. She seems genuine in wanting to salvage our relationship. I never thought there would be a day where she would be in my life again, but I’m not going to linger in the past. Life is too short.
I haven’t introduced her to Cindy and Colt just yet. We need to work on us before I can have her meet my kids.
Cindy and Colt have been doing great. Despite everything that happened, they’ve been returning to their old selves day by day. Colt’s night terrors have stopped, and he’s finally able to sleep alone again. I knew things were going to be okay when they asked to sleep over at Crystal’s last night.
Colt seems eager to get to his gigi’s for the night. Crystal didn’t even hesitate to agree for them to come over. This is the longest they’ve ever gone without spending the night.
I told my mother all about Crystal and Paul. When and if I ever bring her around, I don’t want her to be offended or hurt by the relationship Cindy and Colt have with Paul and Crystal. Regardless of blood, Cindy and Colt look at them as their grandparents.
My mom didn’t take offense when I told her. She seemed happy to know that despite her dropping the ball, my kids were surrounded by people who loved them.
Cara was right when she said we would get away with killing the Langley brothers. As she promised, the next morning, she leaked the evidence to the FBI and every national news station. Declan and Vincent’s father had been plastered all over the news. Just as she predicted, the FBI figured Declan and Vincent had fled the country to avoid jail.
Over fifty men and women have been released from prison since the investigation and they still aren’t done. Those Langleys were as dirty as they came. Some of the prisoners had been given life sentences due to the bogus charges the Langleys had slapped them with.
This world is definitely a better place without them.
Alice begins to stir in her sleep, snapping my attention to her. With a kid-free home, I know exactly how I want to start this morning.
Quickly, I maneuver myself between her legs. Alice is naked because I refuse to have her clothed with the kids gone. Once I’m staring at her perfectly waxed center, I take one long swipe with my tongue.
As soon as I wrap my lips around her clit, her eyes pop open.
“Babe,” she whines sleepily.
“Mmhm,” I groan as I feast on her.
I take my time sucking and licking, making her squirm from pleasure. I am addicted to the taste of her, and it shows every time I have my mouth on her. I pick up the pace when her legs begin to tremble. Inserting two fingers inside of her, I work her over while never slowing the pace of my tongue.
Alice's fingers tangle in my hair as her back shoots off the bed.
“Ooohh,” she moans as she thrusts against my tongue and fingers. “Just like that, Red!”
Her voice cracks as she screams my name. Her walls squeeze my fingers, so I know she’s close. I quicken the pace of my fingers and wrap my lips around her clit, throwing her over the edge.
Alice calls out my name throughout her entire release. When I finally pull away, she’s trembling.
Not wanting to waste another second, I throw her legs over my shoulders before plunging deep inside her, making her whimper.
“Fuck,” I hiss, throwing my head back.
I work myself in and out of her slowly, enjoying the feel of her tight, wet, and warm pussy. This shit is a drug. Her walls tighten around me, sucking me in with each thrust. I have to grit my teeth, trying to stop myself from coming prematurely.
When she moves her hips with mine, meeting thrust for thrust, I lose my damn mind. I grab hold of her hips and give her long, deep strokes.
“Oh my God, baby! I’m going to come again.”
“Give it to me. I want you to squeeze my cock, draining me of everything I’ve got.”
My words throw her over the edge as she screams through her release. My thrusts become erratic as I go through my own release. I don’t stop until I don’t have another drop to give.
All that can be heard is our heavy breathing. I drop her legs from my shoulders, get out of bed, and pick her up. Alice wraps her legs and arms around me while resting her head on my shoulder.
“That was one hell of a way to say good morning.” I don’t need to see her face to know she’s smiling. I hear it in her voice.
“It was, and now I need to get you and my baby fed.”
Right on cue, her stomach growls, causing us to laugh. One thing I can say for sure is this baby has my kitten eating all day. Her morning sickness has finally slowed down, and now she’s only ruled by her cravings.
Quickly, I get us into the shower and clean the both of us. Alice loves it when I pamper her, and I don’t mind. I actually prefer it. I want to take care of her and my children.
After we dress, we head over to the clubhouse for breakfast. Everyone is in attendance except for a few of the single brothers. Alice and I speak to Cindy and Colt before making our plates. We sit at the table where Viper, Bear, Blade, and Thor are seated with their ol’ ladies.
“Geez, Cara,” Thor mutters, staring at her plate in disbelief.
I can’t say that I blame him. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Cara has always had an appetite for such a small person, but this seems a bit excessive. She has enough food to feed a sumo wrestler.
Cara glares at Thor mid-bite. “What?” she snaps.
“Don’t get snippy with me. You’re over there with enough food like you’re eating for two, and you have the nerve to—” Thor pauses as if all his words just caught up to him. As a matter of fact, everyone at the table has frozen.
I don’t even need to ask for confirmation on Thor's accusations. Viper’s shit-eating grin gives them away.
“Your ass is pregnant again?” Thor shouts.
Crystal is up and out of her seat in a second. She hurries to Cara’s side, bouncing on her feet. “Did somebody say pregnant?”
A few laughs go around the table at her excitement. I swear, all Crystal wants to see is the ol’ ladies barefoot and pregnant. She told us not too long ago that all she wanted to do was spend her older years surrounded by her grandkids, and I guess she meant it.
Everyone stares at Cara, waiting for her or Viper to answer the burning question. After taking a hefty bite of her waffle, she shrugs. “Yeah. He got my ass again,” is all she says.
Viper smiles wide, nodding his head. “She went and got that Depo crap after the pill mishap, but I had to show her. My shooters don’t miss.”
The brothers roar with laughter. Cara rolls her eyes and keeps stuffing her face.
I don’t know what is in the water around here, but something is definitely going on. Bianca is seven months pregnant, followed by Madison, who is five months. Then Alice is a little over three months, and now Cara is pregnant again. The only two left are Sara and Sofia.
Crystal kisses Cara’s cheek before skipping back to her table to celebrate with Paul. “Look at that, honey. I asked God for three grandbabies, and he blessed us with a bonus baby!”
I throw my head back, laughing as Cara damn near chokes on her food. She looks over at her mother like she has lost her mind. “Don’t be calling my child no damn bonus baby!” she scolds.
“You know what I mean. And watch your mouth. You ain’t too old for me to go upside your head.”
Cara huffs before going back to her food.
“You seem to be taking this easier than the last time. You have a set of two-year-old triplets and a one-year-old. Why are you not freaking out?” Sara’s voice drips in horror.
“I mean, at first, yeah, I kind of freaked out, but after I calmed down, I had to ask myself, what am I really freaking out about? It’s not like I’m a single mother. It takes a village to raise a child. Look around, sis. We’re surrounded by one.”
Everyone in the room nods their heads in agreement. We all might not be related or have come from the same backgrounds, but we are a family regardless. There is nothing any of us wouldn’t do for each other.
Staring over to Alice, I count my blessings. I peck her lips a few times before bringing my forehead to hers. “I love you, kitten.”
Smiling, she palms my cheek. “I love you, too.”
My life might have started off as a complete nightmare, but I am finally living the dream. Nothing and no one would ever change that.
As I look around the room, watching everyone celebrate another incoming Sinful baby, I can’t help but think of how far the club has come.
We used to be a bunch of single, knuckle-headed hellraisers, and now we’re settling down, making babies left and right. I can’t help but think what’s next to come for this crazy group of bikers.
THE END
