Chapter 23

Eagle

Nothing had ever felt as good as walking through the Charon MC clubhouse front door with Silk by my side, wearing my fucking property patch. I may be fairly new to the MC world, but I still understood how fucking special it was to have a woman willing to wear a label saying she was yours for the world to see. My inner caveman was pretty pleased with himself, too.

“Oh! Claudine, you’re back!”

Silk’s aunt was the only one I knew that occasionally used her real name. The older woman came rushing up and pulled Silk against her for a long hug.

“Hey, Aunt Rose. Yeah, I’m back, and as an old lady.”

Rose sucked in a breath before she thrust Silk away from her to take in her cut.

“Oh, honey. Congratulations! We all knew that boy would claim you as soon as he was able.”

Scout came up beside me, pulling me back a little from where more of the other old ladies were gathering around Silk.

“We heard back from Sabella a little while ago. Church in five. Silk’ll be fine with the other women. And the prospects are all on high alert.”

I looked around and noticed that, indeed, there were a number of sober, miserable looking prospects. I couldn’t help but grin a little at that. Those days were now over for me. No more being stuck on fucking guard duty without a clue why.

“Sure thing, Pres. I’ll be right there.”

“Good. Now, I gotta go separate Taz from the whores. That boy’s gonna need his own fucking harem if he keeps this up.”

Scout kept grumbling about how willing women didn’t grow on trees as he made his way to the back room, where Taz was no doubt balls deep in some random club whore. I pushed my way to Silk’s side and leaned down to kiss the side of her throat.

“Hey, babe, got church for a bit. You stay inside, okay?”

She turned into me, instantly ignoring all the women asking her questions.

“It’s Antonio, isn’t it?”

“Don’t know yet. Scout just told me to get my ass in church in five, so that’s what I’m doing. I’ll let you know as soon as I can.”

She scowled at me.

“Don’t say a word, Silk. You know how this shit works. I’ll always tell you what I can, as soon as I can.”

I pressed my mouth against hers and kissed her till she softened. Then, with regret, I pulled away and stormed toward the meeting room, more than a little pissed I was being separated from my woman when I’d finally gotten her back. However, I wasn’t stupid enough to believe this mob shit was going to go away on its own, and was glad to finally be included from the beginning.

I slipped my phone into a locker, and with a wide grin, walked into the room as a patched in Charon for the first time. It felt good. No one had mentioned a word about my beat down since the moment it was over. Clearly, it really was a clean slate type thing–for which I was glad. The beating I could handle, over analyzing the shit out of it for weeks? Not so much. Now if I could just get Silk to quit reminding me about it, I could happily pretend it never happened.

Bulldog slapped me on the back.

“I see you got my girl to come back. Thanks, brother.”

“Well, if you look at her cut, you’ll see she’s my girl now. But yeah, I got her back where she belongs. I think you’ll find she already wanted to come back. She looked utterly miserable when I went to her. Crazy woman thought she’d lost both the club and me with that temper tantrum she threw.”

He chuckled. “Well, now she’s your old lady, you get to deal with those tantrums. She doesn’t throw them often, but she sure as fuck makes the ones she does throw count.”

I gave him a smirk. “I’ll keep her in check, don’t you worry.”

At that he raised his hands with a grin. “And, there are some things I don’t need to hear about my niece. Come and take a seat. Let’s get this shit started.”

Within minutes the room was filled with men in various states of drunkenness. Seemed some started the party before the party was announced. Taz slumped in the seat next to me, stinking of sex.

“How many you gone through so far?”

With a gleam in his eye he licked his lips. “It’s impolite to kiss and tell.”

I scoffed. “It’s impolite to screw every one of the club whores before anyone else can take a turn.”

Scout banging the hammer stopped any further conversation.

“I’ve called church tonight because we’ve finally heard back from Sabella. As you all know, the bastard is still gunning for Silk. Who is now not only Bulldog’s niece and a Daughter of the Club, but Eagle’s old lady.”

He paused as a few cheers went up. A smile tugged at my lips. I hadn’t had this kind of family since I left the Marines. Sure, Taz and Mac were always my brothers, but they were only two men. To have this entire room cheer me on for landing my girl? That was fucking special.

“We need to end this shit, so we reached out with a proposition for him. He’s agreed to meet us. And by us, I mean the asshole is insisting Silk come along. Apparently, he can’t trust us that she doesn’t have the money, but will believe it if he hears it from her lips.”

I spoke up. “He’s going to try to make another grab for her.”

Scout focused on me. “I think he’s assuming his men will grab her before the meet. We didn’t tell him we’ve caught and disposed of his boys yet. That’ll be a nice surprise for him when we see him.”

“And when is that?”

Mac was leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and a serious scowl on his face.

“Tomorrow night. Ten pm–or twenty-two hundred for you military ones–out at the old quarry. All cloak and dagger, you know–mob style.”

“I’m guessing Eagle’s going to be by Silk’s side. Taz is a fucking excellent sniper. We have another other trained sniper we can have watching over things?”

I was relieved to see a couple hands go up in response to Mac’s question.

“I was thinking the same thing, Mac. We’ll have four snipers set up beforehand to keep watch over the site. I want you out there, set up before nightfall. I’d love to leave Silk home but I know that girl well enough to know she’d just sneak her ass out if we tried to lock her down. Eagle, you stick to that woman of yours like glue. You hear me? Lose her again, and you won’t be coming back from that beat down. Understand?”

I sat straighter and squared my shoulders. “Well, since you’ve actually given me all the facts this time, along with adequate back-up, it shouldn’t be a problem to keep her safe.”

No way was I letting him put all the blame on me. It was as much the club’s fault as mine.

“Yeah, yeah. I hear ya. Right, I want at least a dozen men to go in with us. I’ll need that number again to stay here and keep things tight. I want all women and children here on lockdown while this goes down. Iron Hammers are coming for us soon. Don’t know when, but I don’t want them trying any shit while we’re dealing with Sabella. So, who’s with me at the quarry?” He waited for Keys to write down names. “And who’s staying here to guard our family?” Again, Keys wrote down who was staying. “Right, keep the drinking light tonight, boys. I don’t want to be dealing with anyone’s fucking hangovers tomorrow. And Taz? Share the whores around, yeah? Those bitches don’t grow on trees and there’s only so many.”

Church was ended with everyone ribbing Taz, who puffed out his chest and took it all in stride.

“Thinking we should have named that boy Nymph, not Taz.”

Mac laughed at my comment, and didn’t bother to disagree.

Silk

I was glad to be back. All the old ladies welcomed me like I’d been gone for a month, not a week. They all admired my cut’s new patches. No one was surprised. While Eagle was good with the hands-off thing, he wasn’t so good with the eyes-off thing. Also, the fact he’d never made use of the club whores had caught everyone’s attention. As much as I knew full well how the club worked, and how the men were all free to use the whores as they pleased, I was glad Eagle hadn’t. I’d seen how the whores treated an old lady of a man they’d had. The bitches weren’t supposed to get attached to the men. When they came on board, they were told straight-out they were there for the men to scratch an itch, nothing more. Definitely no emotions involved. However, over the years I’d seen more than one of them go after a new old lady. And honestly, I had enough shit to deal with, without having to watch my back around the clubhouse.

The men all filed out from the back room, looking serious and heading straight for their old ladies, if they had them. The others milled around the bar, a few headed to the back rooms. As soon as I caught sight of Eagle, I couldn’t see anyone else. He came straight to me and wrapped his arms around me before leaning down for a kiss.

“Missed you.”

I smiled and ran my fingers up his neck, into his thick hair. “You were only gone half an hour, babe.”

He didn’t respond, just palmed my ass and lifted me. With a chuckle, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he began walking toward the stairs. Catcalls followed us, but I didn’t give a shit. Nope, I just lowered my face against my old man’s throat to kiss and nibble on his slightly salty skin.

“You taste good.”

I delivered one last lick up his neck before I pulled away to see where he was taking me. He headed for my room and kicked the door shut behind him as he entered. He sat on the bed and rearranged me on his lap with his palms cupping my hips, but not trying to get me naked.

“Sabella has agreed to meet with the club to sort shit out.”

I tightened my grip on his hair, only releasing it when he winced.

“Sorry. What does he want?”

“Well, he wants all the money your father stole, but we ain’t giving any of yours to him. He’ll just have to accept the fact your father spent a huge chunk of it.”

“But I still have most of the cash he left me. I can give him that.”

He shook his head. “No matter how much you give him, he’ll always want more. No, he doesn’t need to know about the cash that was in your box. We’ve offered him the ledger on the N.Y. mob in exchange for leaving you and the club alone permanently. He’s requested you be the one to meet him. Apparently, he doesn’t trust the word of any of the club, but yours he does trust.”

My shoulders slumped. “He’s going to try to grab me again, isn’t he?”

“Not on my watch. The meet is at twenty-two hundred tomorrow, at the old quarry. We’ve got four snipers who will be set up before nightfall to watch over things, then us. And there’s going to be a dozen Charons with you, including Scout and Bulldog. The rest of the club is staying here. Scout’s put all club family members on lockdown, just in case the Iron Hammers try anything stupid while we’re dealing with this mob shit.”

“Does he know about his men being killed yet?”

He shook his head. “Scout thought it would make for a nice surprise for Sabella. The bodies were wrapped and are on ice. We’ll be delivering them along with the ledger. That’s one hell of a message we’re delivering. It should make it so he doesn’t come after you again.”

“Didn’t Scout, Nitro and my uncle already show him it wasn’t a good idea to come after me back in L.A.?”

“They roughed up some of his goons, but evidently that wasn’t a clear enough message. Dead bodies are a little hard to ignore.”

If I broke his fucking nose he’d remember that pretty well, too. I wondered what my chances were of getting a shot like that in on him?

“That look in your eye is scaring me. What exactly are you planning?”

I shrugged and leaned in to kiss him.

“Nothing you need to worry about, babe.”

“I seriously doubt that.”

But his voice sounded more than a little distracted as he ran his palms up under my shirt, lifting it over my breasts. I went to shrug out of my cut but he stopped me.

“Nope, keep the cut on. I want to fuck you while you’re wearing my property patch.”

His words sent a shudder through me. He pulled the cups of my bra down so my breasts were pushed up and out toward him. My shirt bunched up above them, framing them for him. He wrapped his mouth around one already-hard nipple and swirled his tongue around the bar before tugging on it with his teeth.

“Eagle!”

He pulled the other nipple with his fingers, twisting and tugging until I was grinding against his lap and moaning.

He released me as he stood, setting me on my feet before him. I clutched at his shoulders so I didn’t fall over when he dropped to his knees and pulled my pants down.

“Need to get you some skirts. This would be so much easier if all I had to do was flip up your skirt.”

“How the fuck am I supposed to ride in a skirt?”

“Very carefully. Don’t want the world seeing what’s mine.”

Before I could respond, he had his mouth on my pussy, his tongue thrust deep inside me. I spread my legs as far as I could with my pants around my ankles and earned myself a swat on the butt.

“Stand still and let me have you.”

“Quit spanking my ass, Eagle! It ain’t a fucking drum.”

I squealed when he nipped my clit. “Keep sassing me and I’ll show just how drum-like your sweet ass can be.”

Holding my lower lips apart he blew air over my sensitive clit, making my whole body vibrate with need.

“Please Eagle, stop teasing me.”

He covered my mound with his mouth once more and proceeded to tongue fuck me like I’d never been before. When he moved to suckle my clit, he thrust two fingers deep, rubbing my g-spot.

“Fuck!”

I was on the edge of something huge and when he slipped those wet fingers back to rub over my asshole, my orgasm exploded from me. All I heard was ringing–all I could see were stars and blackness. It went on forever, yet not long enough.

“Fuck, Eagle.”

He was still gently lapping at me when I came back to my senses, those fingers continuing to rim my asshole as I came back down. I stroked my hand into his hair, using a firm grip to pull him away from me. A shudder ran through me at the sight of his mouth and chin glossy from my climax.

“I need you to quit teasing me, and fuck me.”

He turned to kiss, then nuzzle my thigh, wiping his face on me in the process.

“Ever had a cock up this fine ass of yours, Silk?”

“Nope, and it ain’t happening tonight. I need you to fill my pussy with that big cock of yours.”

His eyes darkened with lust. “Fuck, I love when you talk dirty.”

He rose up and spun me around so fast, I had to slap my palms against the wall to prevent myself from falling over.

“No mirror this time. Guess I’ll just have to stare at your property patch here while I own your body.”

Man, he was really getting off on me wearing his patch. I’d seen how the other men watched their old ladies, but I’d never seen any of them be quite this possessive. Then again, who knew what went on behind closed doors?

I tilted my ass back toward him, and with a groan, he leaned against my back, his cock sliding up between my thighs but not entering me.

“Let me take you bare, Silk. I’m clean, I haven’t been with anyone but you since I got my last medical.”

“I’ve never been with a man without a condom. I’m not on birth control.”

“You got a problem having my baby?”

Fuck me, but the idea of having this man’s child growing inside me had me growing even wetter.

“I take the warm rush of cream that just coated my cock means you don’t have an issue with that?”

I shook my head and flexed my pelvis to slide back and forth over his now-wet cock.

“Good. I ain’t ever wearing a fucking condom again.”

With that he pulled back and slammed home, making both of us groan.

“So fucking tight, baby. Hold on, I can’t do this slow. Need you too fucking much.”

He pulled back, took my hips in his palms and began thrusting at a rapid rate, every fucking stroke hitting my g-spot and sending me higher and higher, until I was trembling with the need to come. With a final powerful stroke, Eagle slammed into me as he slipped one hand to tease my clit and the other to tug on my nipple piercing.

“Eagle!”

I screamed out his name as I came, clenching against his throbbing cock as he filled me with his seed.

The next thing I knew, we were both on the bed, Eagle’s arm and leg wrapped possessively over me as he kissed up my neck and along my jawline.

“I can’t believe how much I love you, Silk. I’m never going to get enough of you, of being inside you.”

I trailed my hand up his arm, over his shoulder and into his hair, guiding his face to mine so I could kiss the love of my life.

“Ditto, babe.”
