Chapter Eleven
Mary sat on the ground down by the Vale Valley lake a couple of days after the bonfire. She was wrapped up in a jacket, scarf, and gloves as it was still so cold. She’d had a lot of time to think in the last couple of days. At the bonfire, she’d overreacted, leaving before giving Pike a chance to explain. Mac had told her Pike had come looking for her on the night but Mac had demanded he give her time. She hadn’t gone to see him yet. For the past couple of days she’d tried to go and see him, but then stopped herself from taking that next step. What did she say to him? She was so embarrassed by her actions.
Resting her hands on her knee she stared at the water. It was so calm, completely the opposite of what was going on inside her head.
“I thought I’d find you here.” She looked up to see Pike stepping out of the forest of trees.
She didn’t move as he came to crouch beside her.
“What are you doing here?” she asked.
He reached out to take her hand. “You’re here. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than beside you.”
“I’m so confused right now.” She stared at their locked hands. His hands were much larger than her own.
“I know.”
“I’ve tried to make sense of what was happening, but it doesn’t kind of compute.”
“There’s nothing wrong with that, baby. I want to tell you the truth.” He pushed several strands of her hair out of the way.
“Okay, tell me.”
He sat with his body around her back but so he was facing her. She turned her head to look him in the eye. This conversation wasn’t one to have without looking at each other.
“The women are separated in the club into whores and old ladies.”
“I know this.”
“The whores, they get into the club and are allowed to stay by fucking several members one after the other. We take turns to initiate them.”
Tears filled her eyes thinking about Baby, Samantha, all of the women who hung around the club.
“They get tested regularly, and we all practice safe sex. The women we don’t know, they don’t get a lot of chance to be with the men. They’ve got to earn their spot.”
“So when the women get voted in, what happens?”
“Simple, their job is to fuck. To fuck, clean, do the laundry, stay out of the old ladies’ way. They keep the men happy who want them.”
“Does Duke use them?”
“Not since he made the decision to take Holly as his old lady. They’re there to be used, but it doesn’t mean we use them, Mary.”
“What about the old ladies?” Mary asked, squeezing his hand.
“I don’t know why it came about or why it happened, I only know what it means to me. An old lady, you claim her, fuck her, in front of the club. They watch, and no one is allowed to touch. If the member invites you, she’s a whore and club property all the way with no one owner. No one gets invited, it’s a union of two people into one. That’s what I wanted to happen Saturday night. I don’t want to share you with the club.” He squeezed her hand a little tighter. “You’re mine, and taking you in front of my brothers, they know to keep their hands off you but they also know to protect you. I couldn’t stand for another man to touch you, Mary. If it came down to it, old ladies are worth more than any club whore. Pussy, it’s available all day, every day. An old lady, she’s precious and to be worshipped. The club respects that.”
“Does this happen with every MC?”
“I don’t know. I only think about the Trojans. I never cared what another club did or do.”
“Precious and worshipped?” she said. His words were going around and around in her head.
“Yes.”
“Do you even like me?” She stared into his eyes, hoping to spot the truth.
“Mary, I’ve been in love with you since before I was allowed.”
“Wait, what?” Her heart pounded at his confession.
“You were sixteen, so fucking young. You’d walked into the clubhouse to get a soda for you and Holly. I think you were studying, I don’t know. I was arguing with one of the club whores. She wanted my dick. I can’t even remember what had happened. All I remember is that she walked out of the club and you came up to me, placed your hand on my shoulder and told me that any woman who could walk away from me that easy, didn’t deserve my love. You told me that if given the chance, you’d love me until the day you died.”
Mary had forgotten all about that. It was the first and only time she’d really put herself out there. At sixteen she’d not really known what the club was all about or what it meant. She’d always been in love with Pike, and it never stopped.
“I was used to your crush, but do you know what I realized?” he asked.
She shook her head. The tears that were in her eyes spilled down her cheeks.
“In all of my years with women, not one had ever told me she loved me and would love me until the day she died. I was brought to my knees by a sixteen-year-old girl. I vowed to protect you. I was never going to touch you, Mary. I’m not into little girls, so don’t be thinking about it. I just wanted to preserve that love you had. I never wanted to see you hurt.” He cupped her cheek, stroking over the flesh. “I fucked up in so many ways I can’t even remember them all. I protected you, but I didn’t wait for you. I always believed you’d find someone to love who deserved you. No one ever came along.”
“I never wanted anyone, Pike.”
“Then I fucked you that night and treated you no better than a whore. Fuck, do you know how much I regret that? I didn’t think I could be faithful to you. I didn’t believe I had it in me to give you everything you deserve. I was wrong. I can’t even look at another woman. There’s no one else I want.”
He started moving behind her, and Mary gasped as a small box was placed in front of her.
“What is this?”
“I want you to open it.”
With shaking fingers she took the box from him and opened it. Inside a beautiful diamond ring glinted back at her. “What is this?”
“I’m asking you to be my future, Mary. I want you to be my wife. I don’t need for you to be my old lady if I can have you as my wife. I’ll protect you myself.”
“You didn’t ask,” she said, turning to look at him.
“Then this is me asking. I can’t promise I’ll never fuck up. I will. I’ll turn up to dinner late, I’ll forget to put the toilet seat down, and I’ll even fart at the most inconvenient of times.” She dropped her head to chuckle. He cupped her face, making her look back at him. “But I do love you, Mary. I love you more than anyone in the whole world. You’re the only woman I’ve ever wanted to sleep next to. You’re the one I want to sink inside each and every night. The one I want to have babies with, wake up on Christmas morning and not care about the world around me. I only want you. I betrayed your trust, but the biggest betrayal was mine. I never wanted your cherry the way I made out, Mary. I loved being the only man to have you, but it was more than that. I’m in love with you. I will be faithful to you.” He pressed a kiss to her lips. “Please say yes and give me the opportunity to make you the happiest woman in the world.”
“Well, for a guy who doesn’t do romance, you sure know how to make me surprised.”
He took the ring out of the box, throwing it away. “Say yes.” He slid the ring on her finger. It fit perfectly. “I can’t take it back now. The box is in the lake, and I’m not getting in there to get it out.”
She chuckled. “Then I guess I better say yes.”
“Yes?”
“Yes.” She couldn’t stop smiling as his mouth moved over hers. He held her tighter than she ever recalled him holding her.
“I love you, Mary.”
“And I love you.” She pulled away a little, doubt filling her thoughts and dimming the happy moment. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that in front of the club, but I get why you do it. I’m so sorry for acting out. In a strange way, it’s really sweet of the club, in a very strange, stranger than strange way.”
“I don’t care. I’ve got ways of keeping you safe. I only want you, and I mean every word of it.” He cupped her cheek, holding her against him.
Mary closed her eyes, wishing for it to never end.
“I love you, Pike. I never stopped loving you even when you were an ass and I wanted to hate you.”
“Come on, I think it’s time for us to get off this wet ground and get back home. We can talk to the town soon and the club.” He helped her off the ground, and she followed him out to his bike. The ring on her finger made her smile brighter than ever before.

One month later
“I’m not wearing a penguin suit,” Pike said.
“Come on, you’ll look totally hot in it.” Mary held the suit that she’d just picked up from the dry cleaners. He knew because Sheila had graciously called him to let him know what Mary had planned.
“I look hot in my leathers.”
“You can’t wear your leathers to church. I agreed on white when we both know you’ve taken care of that state for me. I’m long past being a virgin.” She held the suit out to him.
“Actually, you’ve still got one hole that you’re a virgin in. It counts.” He folded his arms over his chest. For the past month, Pike had been making love, and fucking, Mary at every opportunity. He didn’t even care if she was working at the diner. He’d march back, take her to the office, fuck her brains out, and leave. Pike had even called her to the club. Who knew engaged men could get so much action? He sure didn’t. However, he’d tried to lure her into something he wanted, teasing her ass, trying to get her ready for him to claim her little anus. She wouldn’t let him, and he refused to force the issue even though it made her hotter than hell when he pressed a finger inside her.
She couldn’t argue when her cunt was slick from the teasing he gave to her ass. No, she couldn’t, yet she wouldn’t let him go any further.
“You’re not going on about that, are you? I’m not a virgin where it counts.”
He stepped closer to her, wrapping his arm around her waist. “You get so damned hot when I’m teasing your ass. I know you’d love my cock inside you, Mary. I’ve seen the kind of books you read. I’ve read a few pages. I can give you what you want. I’ll make all of your fantasies come true.”
“Will you wear the suit?” she asked.
“Are you bargaining with me?”
“Will it work?”
“Your ass for a suit?”
“Yes.” She went on her toes, smiling at him. “I’m not above using my body when it comes to you.”
“Then I’ll wear the suit.” He took the hanger from her fingers, throwing it across the sofa. Pike lifted Mary up in his arms carrying her back to his bed.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m not going to give you the chance to change your mind.” Dropping her to the bed, he lifted the bottom of her dress up, cupping her pussy. “You’re thinking dirty thoughts, baby, or you want my dick in this ass as much as I do.”
She knelt on the bed as he stroked over her pussy. She was burning his hand with how hot she was. He slipped his fingers behind her panties, running them over her clit.
Mary cried out, and he pushed her dress over her hips. He tore the panties from her body, before grabbing the condom and lubrication from his drawer. Placing them on the bed, he shoved his jeans off his body and started to undress.
“Get naked for me, baby.”
He watched her shuffle out of the dress until she was lying on the bed staring up at him. Pike tore into the condom, sliding it over his cock before climbing between her thighs. She opened up to him, moaning as he bumped her clit with his shaft. Sliding down, he pressed into her tight pussy. Slamming inside, he watched her arch off the bed, gripping the sheets with her scream.
“That’s it, baby. I’m so deep inside you. Come for me.” Flicking his fingers over her pussy, he teased her clit while bumping inside her cunt.
Mary came apart in his arms, squeezing his cock in her need.
In quick movements, he pulled out, flipping her onto her knees. He grabbed the lube, opening it up and spreading a good amount over his condom covered cock. When his cock was slick, he placed the tip of the lube against her ass and started to work the gel over her puckered hole. She was still coming down from her orgasm. Pike used her pleasure to his advantage. Using his fingers, he worked a digit inside her. She was so damned tight.
He worked a second finger into her ass, stretching her wide.
“I’m going to take it slow and easy. I won’t hurt you.”
Removing his fingers from her ass, he gripped the base of his cock. Pressing the tip to her puckered hole, he took his time, slowly feeding his dick into her ass. She tensed underneath him, and he paused, waiting for her to get used to the size of him.
“You’re big, Pike. I think this is a big mistake.”
Pike started to tease over her clit, stroking her to life. Her protests soon turned into moans. Within minutes she started to grind back against him.
“I want you to stroke your clit for me.”
Her hand disappeared underneath her. He knew the moment she started touching her clit as her ass went tighter than ever before. Slowly, he worked his cock into her ass, and Mary screamed out as he thrust the last inch into her ass.
“It’s okay, baby. I’ve got you. I’m inside.”
“You’re big.”
“I know, but it feels good, right?”
“Yes,” she said, breathing out a sigh of relief.
He gripped her hips, waiting for her to get accustomed to his size. When she started thrusting back against him, Pike began to move, feeding his cock in and out of her ass. The lube made it easy for him to thrust into her ass.
Mary started to push back against him. Her arousal increased with each stroke over her clit.
“I wish you can see what I see. Your ass looks so damned good taking my cock.”
“Please, Pike, fuck me.”
He increased his thrusts, going inside her. They set up a pace, fucking each other harder. Pike held her hips tightly as he slammed into her ass. The tightening of her ass told him she was getting closer to orgasm.
“That’s it, baby, come for me. I want to feel this ass tightening.”
When Mary cried out moments later in orgasm, Pike picked up his pace, following her into orgasm. For her first time he didn’t want to prolong it and make it painful. He filled the condom, collapsing over her back as the pleasure numbed every single one of his senses.
“I can’t believe I just did that.”
“You’re the one that bargained your body for a suit.”
Mary giggled, glancing over her shoulder at him. He kissed her cheek, unable to resist the temptation she created.
“Pike?”
“Yeah, baby.”
“I was ready for you to fuck my ass without the bargain.”
“You little minx.”
