Chapter Twenty-Four

Devil

STANDING BACK AND letting every man in the cell with us take their pound of flesh from Ricky is absolute torture.

I want to be the only one to have my hands on him.

Yeah, Wade has the right to get his pound of flesh from the stupid fuck because he's gone after Genesis twice and took away Melinda from our woman and son.

I don't want anyone else hurting this stupid fuck, but I can't take that away from them because he's also going after the club's businesses and it's time for them to get this shit the fuck over with.

I'm not lying when I say I want to be upstairs with Genesis and Matie.

The urge to be with them and make sure they're okay is overwhelming on a good day.

Today, knowing this fucker tried to hurt Genesis again has it raging out of control.

I've never felt like this before and I have a feeling it will be like this for the rest of our lives when it comes to our woman and any children we add to our family in the future.

"Devil, go ahead and do what you wanna do to finish this fucker,"

Vault finally says, setting down the knife he was using to carve up Ricky's body.

Everything that was done to Genesis has been done to Ricky.

He's got a dislocated shoulder, cuts and bruises all over his body, goose eggs on his head, and everything else that we could think of to add pain to his body.

Yeah, he's hurt a lot worse than my girl was, but it's nothing less than what he deserves.

Matie saw him beat the fuck out of his mom until Melinda gave him to Genesis.

I hope he doesn't remember that shit, but we've talked and are prepared to put him in counseling if that's what he needs when he gets older.

We won't let him struggle with this shit and he'll know we're all there for him.

Ricky has passed out from pain multiple times, screamed, pissed himself again, shit himself, and begged for his life.

Deegan took great pleasure in hosing the fucker off with freezing cold water.

The pressure was hard enough to make him gasp for air as his body was shaking with how cold the water made him.

I kept my carefully blank mask in place and didn't let him see the pure joy I got from seeing him tormented and tortured for hours by everyone in my family.

Stepping back up to Ricky, I debate how to end his pathetic life.

I let everything he's said play through my mind once again until I stop on one thing he said in particular.

No one will ever find Melinda's body because he put her in acid.

Ricky might not be dead yet, but that shit doesn't matter to me.

Looking around the room, I finally spot what I'm looking for.

It's not enough to dispose of his entire body, but he'll feel the pain Melinda surely did when he covered her in acid.

Grabbing the gloves we keep in here for when we deal with acid, I slide them on my hands and pick up the container of acid and step back over to Ricky.

If we thought he was thrashing and struggling against his restraints before, it's nothing compared to now.

Ricky's thrashing around so hard the chair is tilting side to side and I'm waiting for him to go crashing to the ground at our feet.

Instead of letting that happen, Slim and Playboy step up and hold the chair after putting on the same gloves I have covering my hands.

"Y-Y-You c-c-can't d-d-do t-t-that t-t-to me,"

he stutters out, his voice barely above a whisper with a broken jaw that he's no longer feeling the pain from if my guess is correct since he's been begging for us to spare his life.

"I can do whatever the fuck I want to you, Ricky.

You put yourself on my radar when you touched the woman who belongs to me.

Now, you'll rot in hell where you belong,"

I state, dumping the acid over his body and turning my back on him so I don't get a single drop on my body.

I should be wearing the protective gear we keep in the cells for this, but I'm done with Ricky and don't want to fucking deal with him any longer.

Putting on the full gear takes too long, so I forgo it altogether as my grandpa and dad jump back so they don't get the acid on them either.

Ricky's screams die to nothing all too soon and we watch as he takes his last breath.

Just to be sure he's dead, I take the gun Killer holds out for me and put a bullet right between his eyes.

"Deegan and Kian deal with the body.

Whatever doesn't get burned to nothin' by the acid bury as deep as you can in our normal spot.

Be fuckin' careful when you're movin' what's left of the body and don't let yourselves get followed.

Deal with those two as well.

I'll send down two more guys to help you,"

Vault orders the two Prospects in the basement with us.

"I'll stay and help them prepare the bodies,"

Killer states as he looks around our group.

"You did fuckin' good, Devil.

Go shower and be with your woman.

If she needs anythin' when you give her the news, we're here for her."

"Thanks, Killer,"

I tell him as Wade leads me from the cell.

We go to the showers down here in the basement.

Once we're locked in one of the large stalls, Wade strips me out of my clothing and leaves it in a pile just outside the shower so it won't get wet since everything is still in my pockets.

I watch as he strips himself and leaves his clothing with mine.

Our cuts are back by the cell where the hooks are.

I'm not even sure when Wade took his cut off I was focused on Ricky and what was being done to him.

The second Wade is naked, he turns on the water in the shower and lets it heat up for a few minutes.

I'm not out of it, but my mind is on the information we got from Ricky and how we're supposed to let Genesis know Melinda won't ever be coming back to be a part of her son's life in the future.

She'll have to let the Pratts know what happened to their daughter and I'm not sure how that conversation will go considering there's no proof of what Ricky's said since the body can't be found.

I don't know if she'll even want to tell them anything considering there's nothing we can do or a body to bury.

Ricky can't be held accountable for his crimes against Melinda in a court of law since we just ended his life.

I will do whatever Genesis wants to do to handle the situation though.

When the water's hot enough, Wade leads me under the water and pushes me back so it's flowing down over my head and body.

I close my eyes and let the heat from the water soak into my body and ease the aches from being tense the last few hours.

Dropping my head forward, I don't move as Wade grabs the shampoo and moves me just enough so my head isn't in the water.

He scrubs the soap through my short hair and I feel his nails scraping against my scalp causing a groan to leave me.

"Don't start that shit, Dylan.

We're not fuckin' in the shower today.

We need to get up with Genesis and figure out what we're gonna tell her about Melinda.

I think King is lookin' up some shit to try and confirm what Ricky told us in the cell.

Let's get the blood off our bodies so we can go see our woman and son.

Even if they're sleepin', I wanna see them,"

he tells me, his voice letting me know he's serious and I agree with him.

Wade washes my hair and then pushes me back under the water.

He makes sure it's all rinsed out before grabbing the body wash and soaping up a washcloth that's left in each shower stall.

The Prospects clean them out after every use and dispose of our clothing and anything we use to get the blood and other body fluids off our bodies before returning to our family members.

I return the favor to Wade and wash his body and hair before letting him rinse off and washing my body once more.

When we switch places so I can rinse off and make sure I got everything off of me, Wade washes his body for the second time.

Stepping out of the stall, I avoid our pile of clothes while grabbing towels to dry off with.

When the water shuts off, I toss the second one to Wade and let him dry off.

I step out to the lockers by the shower stalls and grab a set of clothing.

Dressing quickly, I watch as Wade, Vault, my dad, and Stryker walk out of the shower stalls and start to dry off.

They grab clothing they can wear upstairs to change into their own things.

Wade and I empty our pockets of everything we keep in there and toss our clothing in the garbage can at the end of all the stalls.

Both of us follow everyone else upstairs and to the common room for a drink.

I don't drink often and I won't have more than one drink tonight, but I need something to take the edge off before I see Genesis.

Looking around the room, I know I'm not going to get that lucky when I spot her sitting at a table with my mom, grandma, and Jennifer.

Matie is nowhere to be seen, but the baby monitor sits in the middle of the table.

I nod to the Prospect behind the bar for a drink and head over to my girl.

"Hey, Sweetness.

I thought you'd be sleepin' by now,"

I tell her as she stands from her seat and lets me sit down before she arranges her body on my lap.

"I wasn't gonna be able to sleep knowing what you and Wade were doing.

So, I've been talking to your moms and Shy while we waited for you all.

I'm tired, but it's okay,"

she answers, stifling a yawn with her hand as Wade joins us.

He leans over and presses his lips against Genesis' forehead.

She closes her eyes and lets her body melt between the two of us.

Our woman knows when we're with her she can stop worrying about her surroundings and let us think about what's going on in the room we're in.

She feels safe, protected, and has fallen asleep in the middle of a crowded room a few times now.

I'm happy as fuck she feels good enough with us to trust us to watch over her while she sleeps.

"Get everything taken care of?"

my mom asks, a glint of worry in her eyes.

"We did.

I'm ready for bed, Sweetness.

Are we stayin' here tonight?"

I ask her as the Prospect hands over a beer to Wade and me before disappearing once again.

"We can stay here.

Matie's already sleeping in Morgan's room.

I just want to hold the two of you and feel you hold me tonight,"

she answers, her voice a whisper as she opens her eyes and looks at us.

"Okay, Angel.

Sorry to cut this short everyone.

We'll see you all in the mornin',"

Wade tells our family members as he stands from his chair and takes one more sip of his beer before leaving it on the table where he was sitting.

I copy him and take one sip of the beer before standing with Genesis in my arms.

When I thought I needed something to take the edge off before seeing her, I was wrong.

Genesis is all I need.

With her in my arms, I know I'll go to sleep and won't have any problems at all.

There will be no nightmares or anything tonight as I sleep because Genesis will be between Wade and I in our bed here at the clubhouse.

Well, one of our beds.

We walk upstairs and go into my room because of the whole Liz situation in Wade's room.

Wade and I strip Genesis down to nothing and help her in bed before we get naked and hang our cuts up on the back of the door.

Both of us slide into bed with Genesis and arrange ourselves so we're both holding her.

I look at her and move my body so we're looking one another in the eyes.

Suddenly everything seems perfect in this moment.

Yeah, we have to tell Genesis some horrible news, but at the end of the day she's here in our arms and this is how I want our lives to go forever.

"Sweetness, you know we love you, yeah? You make Wade and I want to be the best men we can be for Matie and you.

With you in our arms, the world seems exactly as it's meant to.

I don't have all the words and I can't give you the world.

What I can give you is my entire heart and soul, protection from all of your nightmares and those after you, strength when you don't have any to move forward, and anythin' else you and Matie need.

I want to have more babies with you, love you, and show the world that you're our woman in every way we can.

Will you do us the honor of marryin' Wade and I?"

I ask her, not sure if this is the right moment to do this since Wade and I haven't talked about when we were gonna propose to our girl.

Wade turns her to face him and looks at me over her body with a tender look in his eyes.

I'm not sure if he's feeling what I am right now, but this feels right.

It's not romantic or the perfect setting, but it's us.

Genesis doesn't always like to be pampered, romanced, or any of that other girly shit.

She likes things simple and not over the top.

That's another reason I feel this is the perfect moment to propose to her and have it mean more than doing something planned out and perfect.

"Everythin' Dylan said is true, Angel.

We love you more than we ever thought possible.

Not only do you make us want to be better versions of ourselves, but you give us the freedom to be who we truly are without the fear that you're gonna leave us because we're together.

You've given us strength, courage, and opened yourself to us in ways that left you vulnerable when it's the last thing you wanted to do.

You've listened to us when we were goin' through shit and didn't know how to deal with the situation ourselves.

Our lives are brighter and better every single day because of you and Matie.

If you say yes to our proposal, we'll give you the world and everythin' in it.

It might not seem like much, but we'll always make sure you know you're loved and everythin' we do is for you and Matie,"

Wade adds in as Genesis' body starts to shake with the sobs she's trying to hold back.

"Yes, Dylan and Wade.

I love you both with everything in me and you've proven that not everyone is gonna leave me.

That I'm worthy of the love you show me and you've taken Matie on as your own.

We've built a small family and work together better than anyone else I've ever met before in my life.

You both also make me want to be the best version of myself and I know you'll support me no matter what I choose to do in my life.

It would be my honor to become your wife,"

she answers, tears rolling down her face and landing on my arm that's under her head.

Leaning forward, Wade presses a soft kiss against her lips.

He deepens it as his hands begin to wander over her body and she pushes back against me.

I'm already hard as hell and ready for our girl.

Lifting her leg over mine, I slide my cock between her folds as she arches deeper into my body and moans into Wade's mouth.

We don't miss a beat as we work together to worship Genesis and show her how much we love her.

All night long, Wade and I take turns and work together to bring Genesis to the heights of pleasure.

We worship her body and let her worship us in return.

Genesis explores us and watches as we pleasure one another.

When Wade and I are together, Genesis sits back and just watches.

She doesn't bitch and moan to join in or anything.

I know it turns her on with the way she squirms and moves her legs under the sheet.

Still, she lets us be together rough and hard as fuck in ways we aren't with her.

When it's the three of us, Wade and I hold back a little bit because we know we can be rough as fuck with one another.

It's literally the best of both worlds and our girl is into it.

We couldn't ask for anything more if I'm being honest.

When we take a short break from worshiping one another, I get up and grab the ring Wade and I purchased a week ago.

Getting back in bed while Wade cleans our girl up, I slide the ring onto her finger and let her know that we'll be claiming her as our ol' lady in front of the club in the next few days.

We're waiting on her rag to get here so we can give it to her.

We should've ordered it weeks ago, but everything was happening and it slipped our minds.

So, now we wait for it to get here so we can claim our ol' lady and make everything official.

I can't fucking wait for that day to get here.
