Chapter 12
Blade
Vegas and I make our way back out toward the main area. My head is spinning with all these changes and my mind feels blown. I’m going to kick Spider’s ass for not warning me. Speaking of the devil, there he sits on the bar stool next to her father, the California chapter Prez, Fuego, tipping his beer back with a smirk, and next to him is Snake, her brother. Leading Alessia in front of me, we make our way around everyone. We reach Fuego, and he grunts looking us over.
“You two work that bullshit out and everyone is cooled off now?” Snake questions while staring at us.
“Yeah, man, I shouldn’t have gone off like that. Alessia and I are still working all of our shit out, still getting to know each other. Obviously had no clue she’s connected to the club or I would have gone about things differently. I meant no disrespect.” Snake puts his fist up and we knuckle it out.
Fuego nods in agreement saying, “You better stay on top of Alessia or she’ll run you around. If you aren’t man enough to handle her ass, walk away now. She needs a firm hand. I raised her to be tough like the boys, so you’ll have your work cut out for you. Si, mi querida hija?”
Fuego puts his hand out to Alessia. She walks into his arms and he places a soft kiss on top of her head. “Si, Papa.”
“Blade, you remember mia hermosa esposa, Cindy.” Cindy steps out from her Ol’ Man’s side and I’m taken aback by how similar Alessia looks to her mother, except that Alessia’s hair and skin are a couple shades darker. The deep blue eyes Alessia has are just the same as Cindy’s.
“Hello, Blade, did you just move up here? I guess I’m a little surprised you and Alessia didn’t know more about how much you two had in common?” Cindy’s eyes move back and forth between us in question.
“No, ma’am, I’ve been back and forth between here and Las Vegas these last few years. I’ve just now settled in up here, and actually met Alessia when I went to buy the space next to her, that’s how we met,” I explain to her. Alessia moves back to my side and I place my arm around her shoulders.
“Cindy and I are going to head out to Alessia’s house and crash, you kids have fun. Blade, I’ll see you tomorrow, we’ll sit down and go over business.” He looks me straight in the eye and heads out with Cindy by his side.
“Holy shit, is that Dana?” Snake asks and we all turn to the direction he’s staring. And sure enough, there’s Dana standing and laughing with Ghost and his O’l Lady, Katie.
“Yeah, bro, but I think you’re too late. She may have crushed on you years ago, but all you had time for was those dirty club sluts,” Alessia scowls her brother’s way.
“Fuck me, she really has grown up these pasts few years up here.” He takes off in Dana’s direction, giving her a big hug and picking her up off the floor, which has Axl scowling at them.
“Don’t worry, Dana got over her little crush years ago when she caught him getting head in the backyard from a club hanger-on. She moved on pretty quick.” Vegas says this like it’s no big deal. I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything else I learned about her tonight.
“Babe, I’m trying to catch up here, but who’s Dana related to?”
Spider scoots over and answers for her. “Her Dad is Ghost, and that hot MILF is Katie. She also has a brother or two, but I don’t see them running around here tonight.”
“Spider, are you telling me you’ve done a background check on us?” Vegas points her finger at him.
“Yes, I did, it’s my job. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have more shit to dig through tonight.” He slides off the stool and heads back to his room.
I turn to Vegas. “Don’t fucking look at me like that, Vegas, you know I don’t know shit. I knew he had a file, EVERYONE is vetted. Spider said I should get to know you myself, build our trust together, so that’s what I’m doing. Besides, you just asked me if I had a background check on you, so you knew. The more I think on this, I’m really pissed at myself I didn’t catch on this sooner. You had the upper hand the entire fucking time!”
Vegas rumbles out a hysterical laugh that has the whole room looking at her. Her eyes are watering with tears and she can barely get her words out. “You were so lost, the look on your face when you figured out who I was! I knew who you were the whole time, but I was having fun waiting to see what you knew.”
She stops to take in a deep breath. “But, seriously, Blade, the world I grew up in, the world we grew up in, people use us to get what they want. I know you know what that feels like. I have to be careful, like you are. I didn’t mean to trick you, but I had to be sure you were in my bar for the right reasons. I was protecting myself, along with Dana and Jenn. You did show me trust by not reading my file, so I will give you the same. No more secrets.” Vegas grabs my cut, pulling me forward and taking a kiss from my lips.
“I’m heading out, big guy. I’ll be busy with my parents here.” The feel of Vegas’ hands on my shoulders is my version of heaven. Hearing her wanting to leave, though, irritates me, let alone, how the fuck is she getting home?
“Who the fuck is taking you home, Vegas?” Questioning her like a dick, my nerves are shot.
“Blade, you can ask me if you want to take me, or I can get Dana, she brought her car,” she says while pushing her attitude my way. “You need to chill the fuck out.” Vegas turns on her heel, and I watch her heading over to talk with Dana and Snake. Snake tosses some keys at her. She turns and nods my way, then takes off through the front door.
Tank and Axl are laughing while Snake and Dana are grinning like the assholes they are. I hear the rumble of a bike and I sprint out front to see what the fuck is going on, followed by half of our crew. I make it in time to see Vegas whip the tail end of Snake’s bike around with one foot planted on the ground, spraying dirt and rocks behind. Tucking her leg back in, she steps on the gas and speeds down the road. My dick is hard, and I’m so fucking turned on, but so pissed off that she just peeled out of here like that.
Tank booms, “Holy fuck, that was hot, I think I’m in love!” Without warning I turn and upper cut him right in his fucking big ass mouth.
“That bitch is mine, you all better watch what the fuck you say about her! Last warning to all you fuckers. Pick up Tank and throw him in his room.”
The prospects pick up the big fucker, dragging him to his room. Feeling exhausted and frustrated, I also head to my room. This day sucked ass and I’m over it. A few drinks later, I finally pass out, hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

Vegas
Just fuck him, is all I can think, just watch, asshole! I don’t need a keeper, I need a man, not a babysitter. Walking over to Snake, I say, “Yo, bro, give me your keys. Dana can take you to my place, or wherever, I don’t care.”
Snake glares at me. “Do. Not. Fuck. With. My. Ride. I’m only doing this because I want to see his face.” He tosses me his keys and I feel the adrenaline hit me like a junkie. I’m on a mission to score. On my way out, I raise my chin to Blade, thinking, Eat shit, motherfucker, I have a father.
Picking up my pace once I hit the door, I throw the helmet on right as I get there. I toss my leg over one side, kicking up the kickstand. Turning the key, I hold the clutch, switch one gear up with my left foot and flip that switch. I feel the engine come alive, the beast roaring between my legs.
Cranking on the gas, I plant my right foot down and swing the bike around. Pure freaking high, it’s been too long and I needed this, the open road and the freedom. I miss riding with my family. I haven’t gone back and I know a part of me was hiding and protecting myself. Not anymore, I’m letting it all out, I’m not holding back anymore.

There’s a shadow above my head, but it’s still early morning, eight maybe? “Momma, what’s going on?”, I mumble into my pillow.
“We are all getting up, going to go workout, get something to eat, and hang out, maybe go shopping? Dana, Katie and Jenn will be here in a minute, so move it. I got you a coffee and a power bar.” She heads out, shutting my door and yelling from the hallway, “Twenty minutes!”
I shower, then throw on my favorite workout clothes and head on out into the kitchen where my Papa is sitting with Blade. That’s halting my steps for a second, because Blade in my kitchen is catching me off guard. Picking up my pace, I decide that no man will affect me. Well, at least I tell myself that anyway because he’s soooo freaky hot when he’s mad and his hard eyes are on me just like the first night we met.
I’m so glad mom wanted to work out because this sports bra and tank I’m wearing make my tits look phenomenal. “Morning, everyone! Where is Snake? Did he make it here last night?”
“Yeah, he’s on the couch still passed out. However did he get here since you rode in on his bike?”, my Papa questions me with a smile in his eyes.
“I needed a ride,” I shrug, smiling back at my Papa. I have really missed him and my mom.
“You going to take a ride with your old man before I head back, hija?” I can see the hopeful question in his eyes.
“Si, Papa, let me know your schedule.” He hugs me and heads out of the kitchen, leaving me alone with Blade. Winking at him, I turn to grab my coffee and I feel him coming up behind me. His hands run up my ass that’s covered by tight yoga pants. They go up around my tits as he grinds his hard dick against my ass.
“Where are you going in this outfit, Vegas?” He peppers kisses down my neck and back up while I say, “Gym.”
“Mmmm. My bad girl is gonna text me when she’s free, isn’t she?”, he questions while his hand is rubbing my pussy through my leggings.
“Yes, Blade…”, I breathe out my words on a whisper.
“Good, don’t leave me again like that, Alessia, show me you want me, or I’ll spank your ass in front of everyone, and you won’t come or like it.” Blade spins me around and grabs my head taking my mouth hard, then, just as abruptly, he walks out.
“I like him.” My mom points to where Blade just walked out. “He reminds me of your Papa,” she smiles at me.
“Sick, momma! Never ever, and I mean never, say that again!” She laughs and walks out saying, “You’ll see, baby girl.” She continues laughing down the hallway as she’s heading to the spare room.

All of us make it into our class and start stretching before the instructor walks in. We all stare because this is the Killer Booty Burn Class, but this cute and muscled dude is most definitely not Veronica who usually teaches the class. “Oh yeah,” we all mouth together and giggle waiting for the class to start.
Soon enough we are squatting, sweating, breathing hard, butts and thighs are cramping and, Matt here, our instructor for the day, is saying, “Hold that squat there, ladies, and pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse, up and down, ladies, feel the burn.”
Jenn giggles and says, “I don’t know if I’m supposed to be feeling this kind of burn right now?”
“What’s that from the back?”, Matt yells over the room.
“Ah, nothing! Just that we all feel the burn?” Jenn’s face actually goes red for once for being called out in class. Biting my lip, I try really hard not to laugh at her. Dana, Mom and Katie giggle at her.
We finish the class, wiping ourselves off with towels after our showers in the locker room. Dana, looking around for Jenn, says, “Where the hell did Jenn go?” Right then Jenn finally appears, walking back into the locker room.
“What were you doing?” Katie asks.
“I was totally interested in hooking up with Matt, but he’s totally gay. No score, struck out, swing and a miss.” Jenn shrugs and pretends she has a bat in her hand and just missed the ball when taking a swing.
“How do you know?” Mom asks confused, scrunching her nose at Jenn.
“After class, I went to chit chat, he didn’t even look at my boobs when I ‘dropped’ my water bottle, totally gay,” Jenn explains, shrugging one shoulder likes it’s a no brainer.
“That makes him gay?” Katie laughs, shaking her head at her this time and not believing her one bit.
“Yes, watch this.” Jenn turns towards the door holding it open and yells out, “Matt, bring your man tonight to The Black Rose for a drink on us, yeah?”
“Really? I will tell him, thanks!” Matt waves bye, heading to the men’s locker room.
“See, I knew it! I should have picked up on it earlier, but I’m burning so hot these days, only a man can cool me off. My gaydar is off.” Katie and Mom are speechless and stare unblinking at the door. Probably also because they were only wearing towels.
“Jenn, you have options! Oh, I don’t know, I think his name is James?”, Dana deadpans.
“Ugh, not the James convo! We’ve been over this, he’s taking girls home from the bar, and I do not want a cliffhanger at work if we don’t work out.” Jenn’s eyes are popping out of her head, as if that makes her point better.
“Jenn, you are being a hypocrite, because James waited six months before he took any girl home while trying to snag you. You still lead him on with all your soft touches and moments, and then push him away when he gets too close. You need to decide and quit playing with him, he’s not playing with you,” I defend James because hello, she’s being unfair too.
“You can be a real bitch, Vegas.” Jenn is mad now, but watching this back and forth between them is getting old.
“No, the truth is a bitch, and a friend will tell you the truth. Quit bitching and let’s go grab lunch, I’m starving. You don’t have time to shower, Jenn, since you used your time to ‘chit chat.’” Picking up my workout bag, I pull out my jeans and t-shirt while standing in my bra and thong.
Dana laughs, “You can be a real bitch, Vegas.” Flipping her off, I show them that I disagree.
“Hurry up, bitch, and shower. We have food to get to, and that’s top priority at the moment!”
Jenn smacks my bare ass cheek on the way to the showers, “Yes, ma’am!”
The best part about my family and friends is that we can tell each other the truth. Be pissed off at each other and be over it, all within five minutes. By the time everything is said, it’s over and everyone is good.
Finally, Jenn is ready, and we head out to grab lunch. We all laugh and enjoy each other. Remembering I challenged Blade to a shooting contest, I need to practice. Which also reminds me of another reason we need to go shoot, so I drag all the girls with me.
