CHAPTER 20

Abby

We'd had a busy day. After taking the girl's school shopping, we'd stopped off at my house and checked on the refurb I was having done. I'd hired a local crew, and they were good. They had gutted everything and were currently replastering and re-doing the bathrooms. After that, the wiring I would do it myself.

We'd spent a couple of hours there with me going through paperwork that needed doing, paying bills, and scheduling jobs for the coming weeks.

The business was going well, and life was good. But I knew that life could change in the blink of an eye, so while it was peaceful, I would enjoy it.

Reaper had arranged for a barbeque that afternoon to welcome the new guys and celebrate our engagement. It was an afternoon and evening filled with laughter, good food, and family. The new guys had fitted in well. The kids seemed to have added a new addition to the group. Carly was a great girl, and she and Bella didn't seem to mind when Bren tagged along despite the age difference.

I'd noticed the same thing that Kane had. Her eyes would stray to Alec on a regular basis. My girl's heart was going to get bruised, and I already hurt for her. I knew what he was like. He'd lived either at my house or with Gunny for the last four years. Girls flocked to him, and he took what they offered. He was more like his brother Todd, Sam's father than he realised, I thought to myself. The only difference was that Alec didn't have a mean bone in his body.

Pressing a kiss to Kane's cheek, I whispered in his ear, "We'll be there to pick up the pieces, babe. Don't worry about it yet. It may still come to nothing."

Turning his head, he looked at me and growled out, "You may have to hold me back because that over there is trouble waiting to happen. Not sure how Gunny will feel with me kicking his boy's arse if he hurts our girl."

I laughed softly and turned my attention to Ellie, who had finally run out of energy and was curled up in Dragon's lap, fast asleep.

I went to stand but was waved back by Maggie, "Sit, honey. Dog and I'll take her to the house and settle her. You enjoy your night."

Bren watched as Dog gathered Ellie up in his arms. She stood up and said something to the others before making her way over to us.

"I'll go up to the house with them, Mamma A."

"You don't have to, honey. You can stay up a little later if you want," I assured her.

She shook her head, "No, I think I'm cramping their style," she said, tilting her head towards the group of teenagers sitting across from us. "I'm a lot younger than them. Besides, you bought me a bunch of books today, so I think I'll head up and get started on them."

"Did someone say something to you?" Reaper growled.

"Oh no, nothing like that. Please, Reaper, don't worry. I'm fine, I promise."

"Okay, baby," I said as I pulled her in for a hug and kiss goodnight.

She then bent to hug Reaper. That was not the first time she had done that, but every time he got a hug from her, it was like the sun had come out. And I knew she got just as much from the affection he gave freely to all the kids.

"Night, Reaper. Congratulations," she whispered before kissing his cheek.

"Night, baby girl, sleep tight."

"I will," she replied before heading to Maggie and Dog, who was waiting for her.

It wasn't ten minutes before the rest of the teenagers got up to go back to the house.

The men were talking about heading out and hitting a nightclub. Avy and Noni had given them a list of the best ones to go to. Draco, Onyx, and Rogue were keen to go.

"Give us ten minutes to change, Draco. Avy and I'll come with," Noni said, standing up.

"No more than ten minutes, Noni, or I'm leaving your arse at home," Rogue informed her.

"I said ten minutes, Rogue."

"Yeah, and I grew up with you. Ten minutes could be an hour."

Noni threw her middle finger at him as she and Noni left to get ready.

"Sit on that and swivel, brother dear. I'll be out in ten minutes. And I'm not riding with you because you're an arse."

"Suits me," Rogue grinned.

Nothing changed. They still lived to wind each other up. I'd heard the stories, but I was now seeing them.

"You can ride with me anytime, beautiful," Navy shouted at her and got a blinding smile in return.

I snickered because nobody noticed how Bull had tensed at Navy's comment in all the teasing going on.

Five minutes later, the fires were put out, the trash collected, and we all headed back to the house.

Reaper said a few words while they waited for the girls to come out.

"Cuts stay on, and you watch each other's backs. Enjoy yourselves but be careful. Don't let the girls out of your sight."

"We got this, Reaper, don't worry. The girls aren't stupid, and we'll keep an eye out," Draco said, swinging his leg over his bike.

The others were doing the same.

The back door opened as Noni and Avy came out in black jeans, boots, and slinky evening tops showing tonnes of cleavage. They both had their Cuts on.

Hawk and Bull were watching them come down the back steps, their leather riding jackets swinging from their fingertips. They headed over to the shelf with helmets and picked theirs up.

"So, who am I riding with, as my brother is an arse?" Noni asked.

"You're with me, and Avy is with Hawk," Bull said, getting onto his bike and holding out his hand to her.

Avy's eyebrows rose, but she didn't say anything. She just headed over to Hawk and got on his bike.

Noni was still standing next to us, biting her lip as she considered Bull.

"You'll be safe with me," he said, still patiently waiting for her to take his hand.

I was always surprised when the uncertain part of Noni showed. Most people got the brash, over-the-top life of the party Noni. Very few ever saw the lost girl who hadn't got over the mother leaving them and her ex-husband getting locked up for life.

She must have seen something in his eyes as he sat patiently waiting for her, "Okay big guy," she said, taking his proffered hand and settling behind him on his bike.

They pulled out, and we were left watching their taillights. The gate closed behind them.

There were two prospects left behind to keep an eye on security. Reaper headed over to check on them before returning to me, where I stood waiting for him at the back door.

Grabbing me around the waist, he tossed me over his shoulder and took the stairs two at a time in a hurry to get us to our room and some privacy. By the time we hit our door, my stomach was hurting from laughing, and he was puffing slightly.

The next thing, I was bouncing on the bed after he had thrown me down on it, and Kane was pulling at my shoes and jeans, nearly pulling me off the bed in his hurry to get them off.

"Stop laughing, woman, and help me. I've been hard since you sashayed your luscious arse into the gym this morning," he growled.

Sitting up, I pulled my sweatshirt off, threw it across the room, and then attacked his belt buckle, just as desperate for him as he was for me.

Freeing his cock from the confines of his jeans, precum beaded the head of his cock. I licked his length, making him growl, before encasing him in my mouth and sucking him deep. I breathed in through my nose, relaxing my throat, taking more of him.

He groaned deep in his chest, with his hands fisted in my hair, and his breaths came hard and fast as he tried not to come.

I moaned as more precum burst over my tongue,my eyes closed, gripping his hips tightly as he slowly moved in and out of my mouth.

"Jesus, fucking… Christ. Baby, your mouth," he hissed, his hands tightening on my hair as he went to pull me off him.

I hummed, gripping him tighter and deeper into my mouth. He couldn't stop himself and started thrusting faster and faster, and I took it. So turned on my thighs were wet with arousal. It would just take a little flick for me to come. Just as I was about to touch my clit Kane gave a guttural growl, "Babe, I'm about to blow," he warned me.

I nodded and pulled him towards me, wanting him to come, I needed him to come, and he did with a hoarse cry right down my throat, making me gasp for breath as I swallowed down as much as I could but still felt some dribble down my chin.

I pulled off him and grabbed my shirt to wipe my face. I knew I must be a mess. I could feel his cum and my tears running down my face.

Kane grabbed the shirt from me and gently wiped me clean, his eyes soft, warm, and relaxed.

He kissed me long and deep before his lips travelled down my neck to my breasts, where he sucked and pulled on my nipples. Tingles ran down my belly. He followed the path of the tingles until he got to the part of me that was aching with emptiness. His tongue flicked over my clit, and I clenched as his finger entered me with a thrust. My hips lifted off the bed as I writhed. I could feel my orgasm building, and I exploded just as he added a second finger.

I come back down to find myself sprawled over his chest. Pressing a kiss to it, I snuggled down, my lids slowly closing as exhaustion took me.

Perfect ending to a perfect day.
