Epilogue
Bruno
Three years later…
The sounds of a baby giggling pull me out of a deep sleep.
My eyes flutter open, and the first thing I see is my wife.
She’s nestled in the feeding chair, rocking slowly with her nursing top hanging open on one side.
Her hair falls over her shoulder, and our daughter Ana pulls at it with tubby fingers.
Scarlett smiles down at Ana. With the morning sun on her face, she looks like an angel sent down from Heaven. I utter up a silent prayer of gratitude to whoever’s listening because I’m the luckiest motherfucker in the whole damn world.
Scarlett must feel my eyes on her because she looks up, her smile turning to a frown when she sees that I’m awake.
“Sorry, I tried not to wake you.”
“Don’t be sorry, honey.”
I pull myself out of bed as Scarlett pulls down the other side of her top. Her breasts are swollen with milk, and my dick twitches at the sight. Scarlett doesn’t miss the movement. It’s pretty hard to when I sleep naked. Her eyebrows raise, and she gives me a warning look.
“These aren’t for you right now.”
Ana suckles on her breast, and Scarlett leans her head back on the back of the chair. There are dark circles under her eyes, but she wears a contended smile. Motherhood suits her, and as soon as she’s ready, I’ll plant another baby in her belly.
“You coming to lunch today?”
Scarlett and Ana always go visit her father on Sundays.
Sometimes I go with them when there’s no club business.
It started as an awkward meal with Manny and I eyeing each other over the table, but over the last three years, we’ve both mellowed.
The arrival of Ana has helped. I’ve seen a soft side to the old bastard now that he’s a grandpa.
It’s made our business dealings a lot smoother. The clubs work together to everyone’s benefit. Marrying Scarlett was the best thing I ever did in more ways than one. I married the woman I love, and it brokered a peace with the Chaos Riders, like a royal fucking alliance.
I kiss Scarlett on the head on my way past her to the shower.
My dick’s sticking straight out, but I don’t push her. She’s an exhausted mother, and I can be patient if I need to be.
I start the shower and step under the hot water, letting it wash away the night’s sleep. A few minutes later, the door to the ensuite opens. Scarlett’s naked, her body as curvy and soft as ever, made softer by motherhood.
“Ana’s gone down for a nap…”
She steps slowly into the shower, trailing her finger through the condensation on the glass. My dick perks up knowing the sweet treat that’s coming my way.
We don’t get as many moments alone since the baby came along, but that means we treasure the ones we do get that much more.
I’ve got a few moments alone with my wife, and I don’t intend to waste them.
