  Club business workers on the road of your place of business. Rob is your lead. You ride in forty.

  Outside work Brothers you’re riding the backyard, not engaging with the neighbors, Jared is your lead. You ride in thirty with Dave's team.

  Make your calls, collect your weapons."

  Holy shit! The place is utter chaos. I wonder if I should go to security with Dave then I think if they wanted me there they would put me there. I make my way to the front door. I just need to wait for Jared to roll. I'm sure Steve has Jess and Little Ben taken care of. I wonder about Kate. I see Steve and call out to him. "Should I call Kate?" He turns and looks at me. Fuck, his eyes are flat; his whole demeanor looks hard and flat. What the fuck?

  "Jess has her, stays in my rooms." He turns and walks away. Fuck.

  I walk out the door. Kate stays in his rooms. What the hell is that all about? I guess it's better than her being in my room. I don't want her anywhere near my fuckin bed. Too many whores have been there.

  Luke comes out. "Not much for us to do but sit and wait. Life's easy when you have no one to drag down here."

  I don't know why but he pisses me off. "Jess' bringing Kate."

  He nods, "yeah, those two stay in VP's rooms."

  Why the fuck am I learning all this shit tonight? "Why his rooms?"

  "Do you ever talk to your own fucking family? She's Jess family, lived in the same group home, aged out together, and went to college together. How the fuck do you have a sister and a girl like Kate and not know fuck about them?" He walks away shaking his head. I actually knew all that, I don’t get the sister thing.

  I turn to my bike and sit against the seat. How the fuck do I not know all this other shit? I've been back in the club for almost five years. I know Jess and Kate are close but not that she's treated by the club as family. I think of calling Kate but push it aside. I really don't want to have that 'more time' talk. Steve won't let anything happen to Jess, Kate will be safe with her and Little Ben.

  Kate

  Jess picks me up on her way to the club. I was hoping Danny would call but I guess he's busy. I've only been to Steve's rooms once before. When I moved into the neighborhood Steve insisted I go to the club when there's a lockdown. 'Since I am a sister to Jess, I am family to the club. I have his protection and I'm expected to get my fuckin ass to the club during lockdowns.' He told me two years ago when they had club trouble. I think he was pissed, he sent a Prospect to pick me up. This time when Jess calls, I get a bag and wait for her to pull up.

  The club is filling up but very organized. The old ladies take this lockdown stuff in stride. The kids are in a room that someone put toys out and a TV is playing a movie. The women get cots and sleeping bags ready. I feel funny going up to Steve's room while some of the older women sleep on cots. Tracy told me this is just how it's done. The women always treat me with respect and are friendly and open with me, so I guess it's just a club thing that I don't get.

  The clubhouse is huge with two suites on the second floor. Ben and Steve have a bedroom, a sitting room and a bathroom. The other officers have a big room with a bathroom between them. All the other rooms are just single rooms. When they added onto the first floor, I think Jess said there are sixteen rooms in all. I'd hate to have to clean this place.

  We get Little Ben and Jessie to sleep. Tracy went to get Nancy. She's going to pierce my nipples tonight. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. Jess tells me it's like the ear piercing, it hurts fast then it's just sore. If I keep away from lacy bras I should be fine in 6 weeks.

  Nancy is almost as excited as I am. I feel funny being topless but Nancy is quick. I wish I could add painless too but that's not happening. It freakin hurts. She explains about salt water and I crack up at the picture of me sitting on my couch holding a glass of saltwater for my nipple to soak in. She gives me cushy pads to wear with my bras which I’m sure I will be thankful for when my nipples stop feeling like they’re going to fall off.

  Jess thinks I should get my pussy pierced. She's freakin nuts. I'm in enough pain.

  It takes me a while to fall asleep. I have a smile when I do. I got my nipples pierced!

  Chapter Two

  Steve isn't back so we're not sure what to do right now. I go down to the kitchen so I can get breakfast for the boys. My nipples feel every step. I'm happy I have just a dull ache in my nipples, it could be worse. Jess said Sam should be in the kitchen. As I'm walking through the dining room I hear some Prospects talking about Danny. I hope he's ok. I slow down but their talking about JJ with Caroline. Holy shit, Danny screwing the two women and the women doing each other. I push through the kitchen door with tears in my eyes. There's no mistaking that conversation. I take a breath and try to clear all thoughts of Danny from my head.

  "You doing ok Kate?" Sam asks looking concerned.

  "Yeah, thanks. I came to get some breakfast for the boys. Jess said you know what they like." I look around so I don't have to look at him.

  "I got their trays made up already. I have you, Jess and Tracy's too. I'll have a prospect bring it up with some coffee." I finally look at him and he gives me a sad smile. He must have heard, great.

  "Thanks Sam." I walk out the hall door avoiding the Prospects and their sex exploits. I don't know why but I feel humiliated thinking every one of these guys know Danny is sleeping with the whores. I wonder if they all look at me with pity in their eyes like Sam just did. Everyone has always been super nice to me; I hope it's not out of pity. Fucking men!

  Danny

  It’s been a long fuckin night. Riding the yard in the cold sucks. I would rather be with security. Again, I wonder if I should ask. Steve is in charge of it. If he wanted me there he’d put me there. Jared finally let’s us leave at three telling us to meet back at the club at twelve. I decide to crash at my house and avoid all the family drama at the club. Laying down I can’t stop thinking about Kate. I should have called her last night, at least let her know I was worried. I fall asleep thinking about her legs on my shoulders and her hands on her tits. Beautiful K.

  Kate

  “Steve’s back, we can leave. Most of the other old ladies are already gone.” Jess says walking in the door followed by Tracy. Little Ben and Jessie start cleaning up their toys. I have never seen two quieter, well behaved kids. Jess and Tracy never ask if they were good, they know they were. I hope my kids are as good as these two. Tears pool in my eyes. Fuck. That’s if I ever have kids.

  I blink away the tears and grab my bag. I open my mouth to ask about Danny then close it. He’ll text me about next month. Grabbing Jess’ bag I move to the door and tell her I’ll meet her downstairs. I need a minute to gather myself. The club is almost empty. I smile and nod at the women that are still waiting as I pass through to the door. Stowing the bags I jump when someone says my name right behind me. Holy crap my nipples felt that and it freakin hurts. I turn and paste a smile for Jared. “You scared the bejesus out of me.”

  “Sorry Kate, I wanted to ask you out to dinner not scare you half to death.” He smiles looking tired.

  I’m a little shocked by this. He’s Danny’s Brother. “Isn’t this a conflict of interest or something? I don’t know how this works with the Brother thing.”

  He smiles bigger. “It’s nothing incestuous or unethical. Just asking for a date.” I open my mouth but he puts his hand up, he isn’t smiling. “I didn’t think you were with Danny anymore. My mistake.”

  “Before you run off. I’m not sure what I am to Danny anymore. I’m going to be honest with you. We have two dates a month. When I can get him to sit and talk to me, I have a feeling that will change. If you are ok with knowing that, I would love to go out to dinner with you.”

  He smiles. “You free on Tuesday?”

  “I am, after six.” I tell him with a smile of my own.

  “I’ll pick you up at 6:30. We’ll eat at the Warf in Newport. Don’t forget your coat.” He nods his head and walks into the clubhouse.

  Wow. In one
day I had my nipples pierced and have a date. I feel like my life is finally moving forward.

  Danny

  Tiny whistles getting everyone’s attention. Ben throws him chin and looks at all the Brothers. “Brothers, listen up. I know you’re all tired. The quicker I tell you what’s going on, the quicker you leave. Last night Doc transported Patches to the hospital because of internal bleeding. He is stable but critical. Please remember him when you have some time to visit. Doc is with him now.

  We had no casualties last night. Your security Brothers are trained well.

  The gang that decided we couldn’t deliver in their yard, no longer have a yard. We will be adding surveillance and security to the rest of the town. There are no more lines. We have the blessings of the Police Chief and the bosses.

  If you have been waiting for a club job, now is your chance. I will meet with Jess tomorrow and look at some of the other businesses that are closed or in foreclosure.

  If you are looking to move closer to the club, now is your chance. There are houses that have been tagged and can be picked up for pennies on the dollar. See Rob at R&R or Jake at the HR office. They can help you with the paperwork you will need.

  Brothers, this isn’t going to be easy. We need to establish a presence where people don’t normally see us. We need to stop drug sales in our new yard. I’m pretty sure our new Police friends will try to help, realistically speaking; they’ve done a shit job so far.” The Brothers laugh. “It’s going to take work. If you are serious about the club job, we seriously need you.

  It took all of us to fix this. No matter the part you played last night, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to clean this up.

  Please remember Patches. We are his only family. Jess has a list going up for visiting times. Check in at the Bakery when you have a chance. When he gets released, Tracy will coordinate the old ladies to help care for him.

  Brothers, have a drink, go home, go to sleep, do whatever it is that makes you happy. You've earned it.” A cheer goes up making me smile. I lean against the wall and just watch the Brothers wondering how the fuck we’re going to handle the whole town and where the gang members are.

  Pres walks up to Jared putting a hand on his shoulder. “Millie called me. You helped her feel safe Brother. She wants you to know she appreciated that. We may want to look into getting the empty lots cleaned and leveled.”

  “I’m on it Pres. I talked to Duncan when I came in this morning. He’ll have it done in the next two weeks.” Jared tells him.

  “Good Brother. She asked about Patches. She has a room and someone to help take care of him if we need it. She’s a little quirky but a loyal neighbor and good friend to us. Thank you for seeing to her.” Pres turns and walks away.

  I wonder what that’s all about? I don’t have to wonder long. Jared waves Duncan over and tells him what Pres said. “That woman is a little odd but she’s willing to help Patches. We can get those lots clean this week. She don’t need to keep worrying about those kids trying to light shit up back there.” Duncan says. Fuck that was nice.

  Steve is standing on the other side of the room watching everyone. His face doesn’t look so hard today. His eyes are scanning though, he stops on me. I nod and continue to watch the Brothers.

  Caroline comes up and leans into me. I walk away knowing she’s following. I miss the looks on Petey, Steve and Jared’s faces but nod at Luke who pushes off the bar to follow.

  Chapter Three

  I try to clear Danny out of my mind. Loving someone that doesn't love you sucks. I really need to focus on being with Jared tonight, as I'm thinking this, he knocks. I breathe deep and paste a smile on.

  We've had a great dinner; I've been comfortable chatting and dancing with him. I didn't realize he could dance. I never met his wife. I bet I would have loved her. Walking the dock with his hand on my back he stops to admire the boats lighting the water. I tell him how beautiful it is. He turns toward me and touches my cheek. When I look at him he bends to kiss me. I kiss him back but I'm just not feeling it. When he lifts his head he looks sad. "You don't feel it either?"

  I shake my head, "sorry Jared. I had a great time with you. I love dancing but..." He puts his finger on my lips stopping me.

  "I get it. I loved my wife. I felt that spark until the day she died. I had a great time tonight too but I don't ever want to settle and I don't think you should either." He smiles at me.

  "Thanks, you're going to make some lucky woman very happy." He guides me back to his car and we chat about our friends. I'm thinking I know someone that might light that spark for him. I need to talk to Jess first. At my house he walks me to the door and kisses my cheek. He has a wedding he needs to attend next week and asks me to be his date, just as friends. I agree with a smile that stays until I hit the couch. I never had a friend that was a guy before. I think he’ll be an awesome friend.

  He had a spark too; it's been in the back of my mind since he said it. What if I never find that spark again? Jared said I shouldn't settle. I guess I just keep looking until I find it with someone else. Shit. Danny is the only guy I've ever felt that with. There has to be someone out there that can make me happy and give me that spark. I'm starting to feel like Danny isn't an option anymore. My head is going to have to navigate for a while. I need to start dating again. I'm not giving up on having a family. My decision made, I grab a book and a glass of wine and head for the tub.

  Danny

  Caroline is sucking me off while JJ eats her out. I think she keeps coming back to me just for JJ. I don't give a fuck what her reasons are as long as I get to watch. Luke is talking to JJ playing with her little tits while sliding in and out of her in slow strokes. JJ turns her face, Luke licks Caroline's juice off her mouth. Caroline makes a noise not liking that JJ moved her mouth. I hold her head and start moving into her. "I know you want her mouth on you, suck harder and I'll get her back for you." She moans and my dick vibrates. Fuckin hell. "JJ get your mouth back on that pussy." Luke moves his hand to spread Caroline's lips for JJ's mouth. Fuck that gets me. Caroline sucks harder. "That's it JJ she's loving your tongue." I pump into Caroline hard, holding her mouth to my dick, my balls draw up and the pressures starts to release from my spine all the way to my dick. I slide out and shoot all over Caroline's tits with a moan. They all move the same way all the time. JJ moves over Caroline and starts licking my come off her tits John takes JJ doggie style really going at her. Fuck that makes such an erotic picture. "I love watching your mouth on her JJ."

  Luke yells, "fuckin mouth on anything is good." Then moans.

  As soon as Luke moves away JJ lays down and Caroline moves her mouth between her legs with her hand on her tit. Fuckin hell. I pull on a rubber, get behind her and slam in. My turn to do the ramming. JJ's making noise with her hand on Luke's dick. "Keep her happy Caroline." JJ moans. I'm watching my dick slide in and out of Caroline but look up when Luke moans. He's sitting by JJ's head; she's sucking his head moving her hand up and down. "Fuckin nice." I grab Caroline's hips and pound into her. JJ moans again. I feel my balls drawing up again and lift Caroline into me. She grabs JJ's hips and goes to town. "Fuck!" I lose my load and ease her down.

  Fuckin hell I'm beat. I take care of the rubber and sit on the bed pulling on my clothes, trying to get my breath back. By the time I have my boots on I'm breathing regular. I look over my shoulder and see the two women sharing Luke's dick. I throw him chin and walk out. Everything is starting to fall into a pattern here. I shake it off and head to the bathroom to clean up. I can't remember if either one came. Shit. When did that happen? I'm turning into a selfish bastard. I used to give a shit, always made sure the girl got off. What the fuck is up with not even noticing. I’m going to have to pay attention. I always know when Kate gets off. Fuck.

  Chapter Four

  One week …

  We're sitting in the Bakery. Jess made; me a latte, tea for herself and a plate of cookies. We're munching while we talk. I really don't want to bring
this up but I don't want Jess to be pissed at me. I already had one date that I didn't tell her about.

  "The cop that took a report for one of the girls asked me out." I tell her watching her reaction. I love Danny but if he doesn’t feel the same there‘s no point in prolonging whatever you want to call us.

  Jess looks at me for a minute. "I think you should do what you think is right. I know you want forever. Does Danny talk about a future with you in it?" She watches me carefully.

  "No, he doesn't talk about anything but right now. I love him, but I want a family before I'm too old to have one." This is a hard conversation to have with her. Jess and Danny are close, even if they didn't grow up together.

  "Did you talk to him about what you want?"

  I scrunch up my face. "We go out twice a month like clockwork. Dinner, drinks or a movie. I like that he's stable, he's gorgeous, he treats me with respect when he's with me and I know you don't want to hear this but he's great in bed. But he never talks about anything deeper than what we may do for the next date. I tried to talk about seeing more of him but he cut me off and left real quick." I shrug. "I think I'm like that movie, 'he's just not that into me', it hurts because I love him."

  She sighs, with a sad look, "It doesn't sound like he wants more right now. He doesn't talk to me about you, I wish he did."

  "I don't want to start gossip but I heard the Prospects talking about Danny with Caroline and JJ. I don't want to be second to club whores." I try to keep my voice even. I was hurt when I heard but we never talked about exclusive so I have no room to complain.

  Jess looks shocked. "I won't repeat that but I find it hard to believe, JJ is from our old neighborhood. She's so young; she can't be more than 20." She doesn't look convinced though, more like disgusted.

  "I hope you're right. We never talked about exclusive. I think I'm going to accept the date with Paul. I have a date with Danny next Saturday. I'll talk to him and find out where he sees us going." I give her a sad look.
