Ace: The Brimstone Kings MC (26 page)

“Sorry,” She mumbles out.
What the hell does she mean she’s sorry? She has nothing to be sorry about.

“Peaches, why are you sorry? You have nothing to be sorry for.” I look at her, waiting for her answer. She gives a weak smile, that doesn’t reach her eyes.

“I’m sorry Ace. It’s just that…I’m…not comfortable being close right now,” she says as she sobs.

“I’m so sorry.” She shouts out as she covers her face.

I swallow roughly. “What you went through is not something I would wish on anyone. I will be here for you when you need me, I’m not leaving you. I will never leave you!” She tucks her head into my chest.

“I hear Tammy’s coming home today,” Alison looks up and gives a genuine smile.

“Yes. She’s coming home today; I can’t imagine what Tammy is going to feel when she hears about what Mark did. She’s going to blame herself because she wasn’t here.” Her eyes are showing so much sadness.

I hope Tammy doesn’t beat herself over what happened to Alison. It’s not something she could have controlled. She was in the hospital recovering. Even if she was there he could have hurt Tammy, on top of hurting Alison worse than what he did. I should have been here. Alison must notice the change in my face, and she whimpers as she lays her head on my shoulder.

“It’s not your fault either Ace. It all happened so fast, I couldn’t even get to the phone to call anyone for help. But Blaze came by the check on me and he saved me from Mark.” She holds onto my arm tightly.

I snap my head back to look at Alison. Did I just hear her right? Blaze was here? And he saved her? And he didn’t say one fucking thing to me this morning when I was at the shop.
What the fuck?

“Blaze never mentioned he was here last night when I saw him this morning,” I grit through my teeth as I breathe through my nose, trying to calm my tempter. I’m going to have to pay a little visit to Blaze later.

Her eyes widen. “Please don’t be mad at him. I made him promise me to not say a word.” She looks away as she mumbles out.

“Ace, please don’t be mad…Blaze stayed the night last night…but he slept on the couch. Don’t worry he was here just to make sure that I was safe,” She shoots out quickly, probably worried that I would get pissed at the fact that another man stayed the night. Even if he was around Alison in the beginning, I trust him fully with Alison to keep her safe.

“I’m glad he was here to keep you safe, but I’m a little pissed that you didn’t call me, right after it happened. I could have been here for you.” I look down feeling like I just got kicked in the stomach. She didn’t want to call me.

“I’m so sorry Ace, I truly am. I couldn’t deal with everything last night; I didn’t want to call you over, I was worried you wouldn’t look at me the same. Yesterday I just wanted to crawl into bed and forget any of it happened.” She reaches for my hand and squeezes it. I look at her hand lying on mine.

I give her a crooked grin. “I love you Peaches,” She gives me the sweetest smile.

Telling Ace what happened to me was so much harder than I thought it would be. At least now he knows now, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I can’t believe I didn’t want to tell him. He didn’t turn away from me when I told him… He wasn’t disgusted with me.

If I would have kept it to myself, I would have become distant. He would of known I was keeping something from him. I’m pretty sure that would have pushed him away eventually. I’m just glad that I had the courage to tell him

Ace orders pizza for us for supper; it tastes like heaven. After we finished eating, we decide to watch a movie. Ace is looking through my DVD collection beside the TV in the living room.

“What are you in the mood for Peaches?” He says not even looking up at me as he continues to browse through the DVD’s.

“Ummm…Anything is fine. I’m kind of tired anyways. So I’m not sure if I will be able to watch the whole thing before I fall asleep,” I giggle as I move toward the couch. I sit down with a sigh, man I ate too much.

Ace turns around and looks at me with a smirk on his face shaking his head as he grabs one movie’s from the pile, holding it up. I look at the movie he’s holding up ‘Sucker Punch’. I chuckle as he puts the movie in the DVD player.

He comes and sits beside me putting his arm around my shoulders. “What are you laughing at Peaches?” He whispers in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. Dear God, his voice always makes me tingle.

“Nothing, it’s just funny you choose that movie. I think its Vipers,” He raises a brow at me as he chuckles, shaking his head.

“Hmmm…Fucker does have good taste. This movie is awesome. A bit fucked up but awesome.” He presses the play button on the remote.

“Ace, tomorrow is my first appointment with the doctor for the baby. I was wondering if you would like to come with me,” His head snaps down at me and he smiles.

“I would love to go with you. I don’t want to miss out on anything,” He kisses my forehead as we turn our attention back to the movie.

I think I fell asleep halfway through the movie. Waking up slowly I see I’m in my room, how did I get in here? I panic till I feel Ace behind me, bringing me closer to him. Holding me, telling me I’m okay and that everything will be okay. God, I love this man. What I would do without him?

As we wait in the doctor’s office. We wait patiently for my name to be called. Ace takes my hand in his; bringing it to his mouth he places a gentle kiss on the back of my hand. I get butterflies when his lips touch my skin.

He’s so sweet but at the same time when you see him as an outsider for the first time, he’s intimidating. Oh my God, his tattoos are wow. I just want to climb on him and have my way with him here in the doctor’s office.

Jesus Christ get a grip, Alison
. I’m sitting at a doctor’s office and all I’m thinking about is his body and what I can do to him. I blush, turning my head; if he sees I’m blushing, he will for sure know I’m thinking naughty thoughts.

I get snapped out of my thoughts when I hear my name being called. Ace gives my hand a light squeeze as he gets up. He holds his hand out with a crooked grin plastered on his face.

“Let’s go Peaches. I can’t wait to see the baby.” I place my hand in his. We walk towards the nurse that is standing there, eye-fucking Ace,
Bitch!
Ace doesn’t seem to notice that she’s standing there drooling over him as she looks him up and down.

She walks us down a narrow hallway to a room. She opens the door for us, as we walk into the room she doesn’t even acknowledge me as she stares at Ace. “The doctor will be with you shortly,” She purrs out. Oh my God, what the hell is it with these women? Going after men who are taken? I just want to scratch her eyes out; she better think twice about acting like a bitch in heat again in front of me because, I won’t be sitting here all quiet while she eye fucks him. I’ve had about enough of these women, first Porsche and now the nurse.

My mood sours as she leaves. Ace must notice because he comes up behind me and places his arms around me as he whispers in my ear huskily. “You don’t need to be mad baby; I love you and only want you.”

I melt into him sighing as he holds me. “What is with the women falling at your feet? And she was flirting with you right in front of me. What a fucking bitch!” I’m so pissed off by her actions. Ace chuckles and kisses my neck.

“Damn Peaches, it’s a turn on hearing you swear baby.” He holds me close to him.  I feel his erection pushing into my back. I move a little, and he groans into my neck. I can’t help but giggle.

The doctor comes walking in a few minutes later, looking down at the sheet in his hands. He doesn’t look that old. I would guess around Ace’s age or a little older.

“Good afternoon Miss. Murphy. How are you feeling today?” He stops walking; he looks up with a smile and see’s Ace standing there behind me.

The doctor looks between us both. “Is this the father of the baby, Miss. Murphy?” He sits down at his desk, taking his pen out of his pocket.

“Oh please just Alison. And yes Ace is the Father,” I say as I look at Ace. He has a huge smile on his face.

The doctor chuckles at Ace, shaking his head. “What’s Ace’s real name. I’m assuming that Ace is his road name.”
How in the hell did he know that was his road name?

Ace walks around me and looks at Dr. Cole. “The names Hayden…Hayden Hawke.” He says the doctor looks up from writing and tilts his head to the side staring at Ace.

“Hayden Hawke. Now why in the hell does that name ring a bell,” he utters to himself looking dazed.

“You were two grades ahead of me in high school,” Ace mentions, I look at Dr. Cole, and you can see when Ace mentions that, there’s a light bulb that flicks inside.

“Holy shit, is that you Hayden?”

Ace chuckles as he nods his head. Dr. Cole gets up and walks around the desk and shakes Ace’s hand. Okay, now I’m confused, they know each other? “You two know each other?” I look between them; Ace clears his throat, while Dr. Cole nods his head.

“Yeah I know Dr. Cole. His name is Max Cole. He’s cousins with Viper,” When the name leaves his lips, you can see Max’s face change to confusion.

Ace decides to put Max out of his misery. “Dalton” Ace mentions.

“My cousin is in a motorcycle club?” Max asks as he stares at Ace. 

“Wow, I haven’t seen Dalton in a few years. How’s he doing?” Ace and Max talk for a bit back and forth. It’s like they just remember that I’m standing there waiting. Looking between them, we’re here because of the baby… Not to go down memory lane.

Dr. Cole motions me to changing area, handing me some scrubs to change into. He walks out of the room with Ace. They return a few minutes later.

“Please sit on the table and lay down please,” Ace comes around the table and holds my hand as Max gets the machine up and running. He takes a tube of gel out. “Now Alison, I don’t want to alarm you, but this is going to feel a bit cold,” He warns me as he puts a fair amount of the gel on my stomach.
Jesus H Christ! It’s cold.

He takes the wand and moves it in the gel, and then he applies a little more pressure. I look at the screen and then up to Ace. He has the hugest smile I have ever seen on his handsome face.

“Now, it’s a bit too early to tell the sex of the baby, but by the measurements of the fetus. You're around twelve weeks. Let’s see if the little guy in there has a strong heat beat. There’s your baby’s heartbeat.” He points to the screen as we hear the heart, showing us the little bean. “I want you to make another appointment in 6 weeks. We will know for sure the sex of the baby. That’s if you want to find out the sex of the baby of course.” He hands me a few paper towels to clean myself off.

Once I’m dressed, I pull the curtain over and see Ace sitting in the chair in front of Max. He’s writing on a prescription pad. “Now here is a prescription for prenatal vitamins for you to take every day. One pill every morning works best.” He rips the paper from the pad and hands it to me.

“Thank you, Dr. Cole.”

As we leave the doctor’s office, we make our way to Ace’s truck; once he found out I was pregnant. The bike has been off limits, party pooper.

I stop dead in my tracks. I see Porsche walking up toward us, with an evil grin on her face. I turn to look at Ace but he’s looking down at his phone, he’s probably messaging his dad about how the appointment went.

Ace must have notice that I stopped walking because he turns around to look at me. “Peaches, what’s wrong?” He touches my arm softly.

I swallow roughly as I point towards Porsche; he looks up and sees her. His mood changes, he’s furious. “Hey Ace,” She purrs out. I shake my head is this bitch for real? I’m standing right beside him.

“Don’t fucking ‘Hey Ace’ me Porsche. I told you at the clubhouse when your ass got kicked out. Stay the fuck away from me and Alison.” He hisses out. She looks like she’s about the cry, good the bitch deserves that and more.

She goes to open her mouth but she closes it as I grab onto his arm. “Ace baby, give Porsche the good news,” I can’t help but smirk as I stare at her.

“Alison’s pregnant,” You can see Porsche’s eyes widen as her shoulders slump a bit. She straightens up, giving a fake smile.
