Final Ride Fallen Angel's MC 4 (5 page)

“What makes you the wise one?” Bella giggles before looking up
at me.

“I’m an older soul than most of the girls here. I know how she
feels. The feeling of “being” and nothing more. Sometimes we
lose ourselves in the everyday world. We forget what’s
important to us. We forget to remind the people that mean the
most to us, just how much they
do
mean.” I don’t know what I
would do without this girl. Bella is right. She
is
an old soul. She
has lived so much hell that it’s scary to think about.

The one thing that has been a constant since she’s been here, is
her spirit. She never loses it, and we all need it.

 

“You know how much I love you, yeah?” Bella smiles up at me
with those big blue eyes.

 

“I know. I love you too. Go show your girl how much you love
her
.” With one last kiss on the cheek I walk toward Jada.

 

Stepping up behind her, I wrap my arms around her waist.

 

“You look awful hot in this skirt.” With my lips pressed against
her neck I can feel her shiver like she used to.

“I’m not in the mood, Creed.” Letting out a sigh, I let her go
before running my hand through my hair. I have to get this girl
back to herself. Glancing around, Bella catches my eye and nods
at Jada.

“Walk with me darlin’.” Taking her hand in mine, she reluctantly
follows me. I walk us down the hallway and out the end door.

 

The air is warm like it always is. I take a deep breath as I drag
her through the grass.

“What are you doing Creed?” Yanking her hand out of mine, I
step in front of her grabbing her face in my hands.
“I need to make this right Jada. I don’t know what the fuck I did,
but I need to fix it. You have been off for a while now. Talk to
me sweetheart.” Looking in her eyes, I see the tears pooling. It
kills me inside to see her this way. It hurts me.

“I’m not off, Creed. I’m tired.” Shaking her head out of my
hands, I drop them to my sides. I feel like I’m at a loss here.

“Jada, come on. Somethin’ ain’t right with you. Why won’t you
talk to me?” Watching the tears spill down her cheeks, I want to
take it away. I want to take all the pain away but if she doesn’t
tell me what’s hurting her, how can I?

“I feel like we’ve forgot him. I feel like I let his memory fade,
Creed.” Jesus Christ, this is what’s been wrong with her? This
whole thing is about Jason.

“No. No, you didn’t. We never will Jada. Don’t you understand
that? He is a part of us. He always will be a part of us. We
moved on with life. We didn’t forget him, or let him fade away.
I’ll never let that happen. I love you too much. I love him too
much.”

Jada slams into my chest wrapping her arms around my waist as
she cries. Holding her against me, I didn’t realize she was
hurting this much.

Chapter 11

Ryker

“Goddamn it’s like liquor heaven.” Chuckling, I drag Jersey
around the liquor store with me. I came over here to help get
the new locks and shit put on before we try to open.

“Don’t think about drinking right now. You have work to do.”
Jersey winks at me before she walks past me. Slapping her on
the ass, she yelps, before I head toward the back room.

This is going to be a lucrative business when we get rolling with
it. I’ve known some other clubs back in the day that ran stores
like this and had great success with it. I have no doubt that
Angel’s will be the same.

Screwing in one of the new locks, I feel Jerseys hands come
around my waist. Damn, the feeling of this girl anywhere near
me makes my heart leap. She knows she does it too.
“Did you need somethin’ darlin’?” Her hand slides lower before
gripping my dick through my jeans.

Twisting the screwdriver, I get harder. Trying to focus on this
shit with her hands on me is not going to work much longer.

 

Sweat pours from me in this hot backroom. Jersey’s hand stays
in place stroking me gently.

“I need you Ryker.” Shudders roll over my body as I drop the
screwdriver to the floor. In a flash, I have Jersey spun around
and pinned against the wall. Sweat burns my eyes as it drips
down from my forehead. The way she’s licking her lips right
now, damn, I might explode.

“You know what you’re askin’ for, darlin’?” Licking my way up
her salty neck, she moans.

 

“I always know what I’m asking for.” Hiking her little skirt up, I
drag my fingers through all the wetness I find between her legs.

“You want me to fuck you against this wall, or over those
boxes?” Yanking her hips closer to me, she better decide
quickly.

“Are you being a gentleman giving me the option?” Oh my God,
her fucking mouth.

“It’s customer appreciation day. Pick. One.” Growling against
her, she speaks softly.
“Wall.” That’s all I needed. Yanking my jeans to the floor I lift
her easily in my arms before slamming inside of her.

“Ryker!” That’s right, scream my name. No one can hear her.
We’re alone here, not that I’d give a shit if the whole store was
full.

“You love me?” Thrusting into her with a new force she
screams. Every time I fuck this girl it’s like the first time. She
takes my breath away. I love her
more
every time she looks at
me.

When Jersey doesn’t answer, I dig my fingers into her hips. Her
cries get louder the faster I pump into her.

 

“Answer me!” Harder and harder. Sweat flows between our
bodies as she slides so perfectly against me.

“Yes! I love you!” Yeah, I knew that. I just like making her say it.
It gives me a sense of peace when I hear those words leave her
lips.

Biting down on her neck, she clenches around me. This girl will
be the death of me. She has me in such a vice like grip; I never
want her to stop.

Rolling my hips, I can feel her on edge. She is about to let loose
all over me.
“Jersey.” Growling low into her ear does it. I know it works every
time. Call me a cocky bastard, I don’t give a shit. I know how to
fuck
my old lady.

Jersey cums, flowing like a river with me right behind her. She
drops her head to my shoulder as I hold her in place.

 

“I think I made baby number two just then.” Jersey laughs
against my neck, her breath warming my skin.

 

“You have lost your mind.” Leaning her against the wall I pull
back to look at her face.

“You know I’ve loved you from the start. First time I saw you. A
girl like you is impossible to find, and yet here you are.” Tears
prickle her eyes before I lean in and kiss her slowly.

“I fall for you every single day, Ryker. There isn’t a time that I
don’t feel something new for you.”

 

Pulling out of her, I let her slide to the floor before grabbing my
jeans, yanking them back up.

“I want to always be like this. I don’t want to fight. I want us to
be this way forever.” Gripping her face in my hands, the tears
finally fall.

“Then don’t make me change my mind about you. You are my
heart, Ryker. I wouldn’t be able to live without you.” Kissing her
once more, I hear someone entering in the front. Not knowing
who it could be, I pull away from her.
“What the hell are you two doin’ back here?” Torch walks into
the back with a smile on his face. Nasty fucker was probably out
there listening the whole time.

I grab Jersey’s hand pulling her with me as I walk toward the
front.

 

“We christened the store. We’re good now.” Jersey elbows me
in the side as I laugh. I will never get used to this. I love it.
Chapter 12

 

Tank

I sit back and watch Bella with all the other girls. She’s so skinny
and frail. I’ve asked her so many times if she’s feeling ok. She
always says she is, but I don’t believe her.

She’s been spending more and more time at the clubhouse than
at home. I feel like she’s pulling away from me at times, but at
others, I feel like she doesn’t want to let go of me. It’s a strange
feeling to have seeing how I lost her once.

I know no one can take her away from me again, but that feeling
of dread, it still hides out in the pit of my stomach.
“She’s beautiful.” Cher wraps her arms around my waist before I
hug her against me.

“She is. I just don’t know what’s goin’ on with her.” Cher
snuggles into my side before she speaks.

“She’s a teenager Tank. They go through phases. She’ll grow out
of it.” Maybe she’s right. Maybe it’s just a phase that she’s going
through.

“What’s up brother?” Creed smiles as he makes his way over to
us. Shaking my head, he’s a mess these days. His spirits are high
as hell. I guess getting the shop and the store has set his old
grumpy ass into a good mood.

“Nothin’. What the fuck are you grinnin’ about?” Cher giggles
before letting me go and walking off. She must know we are
about to talk business.

“Life brother. Things are fallin’ into place Tank. I thought about
it a lot. I didn’t know if we could get it there but we are. Look
around us. Look at what we brought back.” Taking a step back,
he stands next to me. I look around the room at everyone. It is
amazing to see so many smiling faces in here.

“Yeah. It’s nice brother, but for how long? Dusts’ ain’t playin’,
Creed. RIt will be comin’ back.” Creed blows out a breath and I
hate to be the one to rain on his fucking parade, but it’s true.

“I know he will. We’ll be ready for it too. We need to have some
down time Tank. Jada has fuckin’ lost her shit one too many
times. Ryker is smilin’ but for how long, before he loses it again?
We’re all some fuckin’ tickin’ time bombs around here. At any
second it’s goin’ to explode. We need to keep that shit locked
up for now. When Dusts’ come at us, we’ll handle them.”
Maybe he’s right. Maybe we need this time. Time to recoup and
be a family.

“Yeah. You’re right, Creed. I’ve seen some off shit lately too.
Think we should hit the lake?” Creed smiles before he nods his
head.

“What a better way to unwind before we start workin’ harder,
yeah?” Nodding my agreeance, we both smile. He’s right. We
need some time before the real work kicks in.

“Couple weeks out?” Creed looks over at me.

 

“Yeah. Sounds good.” Creed walks off before I make my way
toward Bella. Grabbing her around the waist I kiss her cheek.

 

“Eww Dad!” Squirming in my grip, I let her go.

 

“What the hell was that for?” Rolling her eyes, I see the smile on
her face.

“I love you Bella. Just wanted you to know that.” Smiling with
pride, I look at my daughter. She has overcome so many
obstacles and she keeps smiling. She is a role model to all of us.

“I know you do. I love you too. Are you ok?” Chuckling slightly,

Bella wraps her arms around my waist. I hold her against me.
Having my family is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Having Bella here has made my world complete.

“I’m just happy baby girl. I’m happy to have you and Griff. I
never knew havin’ kids could make me this complete.” I don’t
miss the sob that escapes her. I don’t know what’s going on
with her, but I just need to hold my little girl.

Bella buries her face in my chest as I hold her close. The way
she’s crying rips my heart open. I know there’s something
wrong, she just won’t tell me. I thought we moved past all of
that, but maybe Cher was right. It’s just a phase.

“Everything ok?” Ryker steps up next to me as I nod. Bella pulls
back slightly wiping at her eyes before she smiles.

“Just the person I needed to talk to. What are you, a magician?”
Ryker chuckles as he looks at her. I don’t know the connection
that these two have but he seems to be her new go to person.

“Thanks dad, for everything.” Leaning down, I kiss her forehead
before she latches onto Ryker. I watch as the two of them walk
toward the kitchen.

“What’s that about?” Jersey looks up at me with a slight
concerned look in her eyes.

“Don’t know. She needed to talk. How are you doin’ darlin’?”
Looking down at her, I watch her stare at her daughter. It
amazes me the way the guys in this club have become such
great men and fathers. Even Ryker, with his short temper,
seems to have calmed at least a little with Ansley around.
