[Ravage MC 03.75] - Rattle Me (13 page)

“I’m tired,” Casey moans, sweat drips from her head and her eyes roll into the back of her head.

“Casey!” I grab her face and make her look at me, her eyes flutter open. “You are so fucking strong, baby. You can do this. Come on, bring our baby into the world.” Her eyes are pained and exhaustion is all over her face, her body.

“It’s coming.” She can hardly speak, but she bears down, somehow mustering some kind of inhuman strength from inside of her. I’m in awe of it. She’s a fucking dream.

“All right. Keep going, Casey. I see the baby’s head, just a little bit more,” Casey screams at the top of her lungs and I cringe, wanting to take that away from her.

Casey falls back into a heap as the baby comes out of her body in a huge whoosh. The room is silent. In those damn movies that Casey’s teacher made us watch, the baby cried. Why is isn’t it crying? I look at the doctor who is unwrapping the umbilical cord quickly and using some plastic thing to pull stuff out of the baby’s mouth. The baby immediately begins screaming at the top of its lungs.

Relief washes over me as they lay the baby on Casey’s chest. Her eyes fill with tears and they spill over as she wraps her arms around the baby. It’s covered in some seriously nasty goo and blood, but that doesn’t stop my Angel from kissing its head over and over again.

“GT,” the doctor calls, breaking me away from the amazement that is my girl and baby. Excitement, nervousness, and fear race through my veins. This shit is real. I’m a fucking dad. God, I hope I don’t fuck this up.

“Yeah.”

“You want to cut the cord?” I stare down at the cord; it’s long and looks like something out of a horror movie. Two clamps are on the cord and the doctor hands me scissors.

“Yeah.” Guess I’m doing this shit. With unsteady hands, I open the scissors and cut through the cord. That was different. I hand them back to the doctor and go back to my family.

“Is it a boy or a girl?”

Casey’s sobs make her words hard to hear. “I don’t know, but it’s beautiful.”

“You are absolutely right.” I lift the baby’s leg and smile as Casey looks down with me, her sobs becoming uncontrollable. “Better get the red hat.”

Holy shit, I have a son.

“We need to check the baby and get him all cleaned up.” Casey’s eyes widen and she clutches the baby. “Ma’am, it’s only right over there.” The nurse points to a small bed across the room. “We won’t go any further.” Casey reluctantly lets go of the baby, turning to me.

“I love you.”

“I love you too, Angel.”

Moments later, they bring our little boy back wrapped so tight in a blanket with little footprints on it. His eyes are open wide as the nurse hands him to Casey. Tears stream down her face as she holds him against her chest. “He’s beautiful.”

“Yeah he is, baby.” I sit next to her on the bed with my arm behind her pillow, just looking at my gorgeous family. I lean down and kiss Angel on the head, tears fall from my eyes and I don’t bother stopping them. Besides Angel becoming mine, this is the happiest fucking day of my life.

I walk slowly out to the baby nursery and look at the fragile being in my hands. He is so damn small; I’m scared I’ll fucking break him with my big ol’ hands. I’ve never been so nervous to carry something in my life, but our family is waiting and Angel is too tired for visitors. The nurse said the only way is to show our family through the glass of the nursery, so that’s what I’m doing.

Faint gasps are heard as I approach. I look up into the eyes of all those I love: Pops, Ma, Princess, Cruz, Tug, Blaze, and all of my brothers and their ol’ ladies. I’m pretty sure every brother and sister is there lining the hallway.

I carefully hold up the baby so that he’s resting on my chest, red hat in place, but they can see his face. I step up to the little microphone they have so I can be heard on the other side of the glass.

“I’d like to introduce you to Deacon Alexander Gavelson. Our son. He is six-pounds-three-ounces and absolutely perfect.” Pride consumes me and I’ve never been happier.

Ravage Me
(Ravage MC#1)

After spending the
last two years stuck behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit, Harlow ‘Princess’ Gavelson’s time inside has finally come to an end, and she’s ready for revenge. Unfortunately, being the daughter to the Vice President of the Ravage Motorcycle Club cuts into her plans, as orders must be followed. Trying to settle back into this life is proving difficult when the tables are turned and the woman who framed her is out for blood. Lucky for Princess, growing up in a MC has taught her how to hold her own.

After spending years in hell overseas, Donavon ‘Cruz’ came home to lose the very thing he went into hell for, sending him to the darkest moments of his life. Joining Ravage two years ago was his safe haven, and he protects his family at all costs.

When a dark-haired bombshell struts into the club’s shop, he’s caught off guard but immediately knows she’s the one he’d do anything for. Tough as nails, and taking no crap from anyone, he’s captivated by a woman who could handle this life. Trying to meet the needs of the MC business and follow his heart proves to be difficult when the two collide, and lives are at stake.

Can these two find a way to be together, or will the needs of Ravage cost them everything, including their lives?

Seduce Me
(Ravage MC#2)

Casey Alexander grew
up part of the Ravage Motorcycle family since the day she was abandoned by her mother and thrown into her father’s lap. Always seeing herself as an outsider, she spent her whole life trying to fit in, but never really succeeding. When she loses her beloved father, the utter aloneness engulfs her, leaving her searching for solace in the one man she’s always craved. Confessing her love for him only results in devastation when he pushes her away. Convinced she needs a fresh start, she leaves everything behind in order to mend her broken heart and begin building a future without him.

Gage Thomas (GT) Gavelson fell in love with his Angel when he was just a pint sized kid. Both beautiful and smart, he always felt she deserved so much better than him. Growing up beside her in the club only continued to test his will power, until one night, he gave into temptation. Realizing he couldn’t allow himself to hold her back from the life she deserved, he pushed her away, allowing her to believe she would never be enough for him. Letting her go had been the hardest thing he’d ever done. Even though he’d thought it’d been the right thing to do, not a day goes by that misery doesn’t consume him for it.

When a tragic shootout occurs, everything changes as once again their lives are intermingled. When you find your way back to the one person you are meant to be with, forgiveness should be easy. But sometimes, we hurt each other too much to ever be able to forgive.

Is their love strong enough to heal their pain?
