Ruin and Rise(14)

“You’ll never see me pussy whipped over a piece of gash.”

Shakes tensed up. “Don’t fucking test me, and don’t insult my fucking woman.” He glared at the brother before him.

Striker had a bit of a reputation for being a sadistic son of a bitch. He liked to leave a woman begging for his mark on her. Sometimes, those marks went just a little too deep.

“What can I say? I don’t see the attraction.”

“Call Deanna that shit, and see how far you get. In fact, try it with any of the men who’ve got old ladies. Let’s see what the fuck happens to you then.”

“Sorry, man,” Striker said.

It was like someone flipped a switch inside Striker. One moment he was an asshole, the next moment, he wasn’t.

“I’ve got to get home.” He wasn’t in the mood to deal with Striker. Climbing on his bike, he rode out of the parking lot without looking back. Even though it had been great to see the guys, Shakes suddenly realized that he loved going home every night to Dani.

The club life had been all he’d known for so long, yet right now, as he was driving to his old lady, the mother of his unborn child, he didn’t miss the violence of the MC. Sure, he’d love to be back there, be with his family, with the brothers, but the more he thought about it, he didn’t think he could take them up on their offer. Still, he had to talk to Dani about this.

Shit, he needed to be with Dani. She was the only thing in his world that actually made any kind of sense to him. He focused on getting home to his woman. It was only when he was parking in his driveway that he realized he’d not told any of the guys that she was pregnant with their first kid.



“Where are you, baby?” Shakes said, coming into the bedroom. She shouted that she was in the bath.

“In here. I was waiting for you.” Dani stared up at her man. She’d gone for a bath after their phone call, hoping he’d catch her when he got home. The moment he saw her, he started to get undressed. It had been a long day, and Daniella wanted to end it on something good. She also wanted an orgasm, a big one. “Are you okay, Shakes?” she asked, worried about him.

It wasn’t like him to wait so long to phone her.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” He got undressed and climbed into the tub behind her, and she rested against him. The hard length of his cock pressed against her back; she reached behind her and started to stroke him.

“Talk to me, Shakes.”

“Fuck, baby, I don’t want to talk about shit when your hand is on my dick.” He pressed a kiss to her neck, and she smiled.

“I’ll make you feel good while you are talking to me, I promise.” She ran her thumb over the tip.

Shakes cupped her breasts, caressing her nipples with his palms.

“Demon wants me back in the club.”

“I thought once you were out that was it?”

“They’ll look weak if they take me back.”

“This doesn’t have anything to do with my father, does it?” she asked. Zeke always liked to interfere where he shouldn’t.

“He asked for them to take me back, but I don’t think that’s why Demon asked.”

She thought over what he said.

Finally, leaning back to look into his eyes, she smiled.

“What do you want?” she asked. “Forget about the club, my father, and even me. What do you want to do with your life, Shakes?”

“I want you.”

“That’s all?”

“Yes, that’s all. I was thinking about it on the way home, and I’ve come to a solution.”

“Go on.” She paused so that she didn’t distract him, even though she really wanted to get fucked and fucked well.

“Going back to the club is a bad idea. It’ll make them look weak, vulnerable. I also don’t want to go back. I love my life with you, and I don’t want that to change.”

“Okay.”

“So, I’m not going to go back to the club, and I’m not going to take my cut either.”

“What will you do?” she asked.

“I will continue to be close with them, a friend. I’ll help them out if they need me, but going back is not part of my moving forward.” His hands moved from her breasts to cup her stomach. “We’ve got a kid on the way. I’m not going to put you, or our baby, at risk. We’re in this together.”

“I only want you to be happy, Shakes. That’s all I want.”

“When I’m with you, I’m happy. You make me happy.” He tilted her head back, slamming his lips down on hers. “Now, I’ve got a feeling that my woman needs to be fucked.”

She smiled up at him. “You’ve thought correctly.” Dani moaned as his hand slid between her thighs, cupping her flesh. She closed her eyes, and opened her legs wider for him to slide deeper inside her. “I need you, Shakes.”
