have a war in your backyard. That call you made saved everyone. Shit, sweetie, it saved me. You saved me.”

That’s when I lost my breath for a second.

What the hell was I doing acting so vulnerable to her?

I backed away from Belle and turned around. Shit, I was right back to the same spot as before. Realizing that she was my real family. From the moment I met Jim, met her, met Big Jim. They all did more for me than my family ever did.

The emotion swung and hit me square in the chest. My throat closed up for a second and I stared out to the night. The stars up in the sky and the random lights from buildings and houses all around.

“Duke?” Belle asked.

I ignored her.

I was back there again. Staring up at the stars at night. We used to sit outside when allowed and shoot the shit. Talking with my boys from Tennessee, Michigan, Oregon, and Florida. Scattered across the country but united over there for one purpose. I never talked to anyone after the IED’s went off that day. The night before it all happened we were talking about the women we left behind. I painted a picture of me and Belle that was just…

I was back to reality and I spun around. Belle was a foot away and I grabbed her hands. My fingers locked into hers.

“You are everything to me,” I said. “From the day I saw you. Your dorky hair. Your ugly braces. When you had to wear glasses for a couple years. Through every awkward moment of yours I watched a beautiful woman flourish from it. And I waited patiently for the right time. That’s all I’ve ever wanted for you, sweetie. The right time… the right life. Well now, I’m going to tell you something. Fuck that. Fuck the right time. Fuck the right life. All we have is this time and this life. And I want it with you.”

Belle’s mouth fell open. There were a few moments of silence and then she smiled.

“About time you’ve realized that,” she said. “Because that’s all I’ve ever wanted. You, Duke. Just you. And if having you means having this life, the club, whatever else, then I’m there. I just need you to tell me what’s going on and what to expect.”

“I can live with that,” Duke said. “Right now you can expect me to have to leave and do some things. Some of which I can’t talk about. All we can do is prepare. I brought you up here to get to understand it all. When there’s a time to breathe, you fucking breathe, sweetie. You don’t fuck around with that. Because hell is waiting just around the corner.”

“Trust me, Duke, I know what that means,” Belle said. “All I’ve been through…”

I broke a hand away from hers and I touched her face. My thumb stroked her cheek. “You’ll never have to do that shit alone ever again.”

My hand slid behind her neck and pulled her close. I kissed her. Our lips, our tongues, colliding and forcefully playing with each other. Belle put her hands to the top of my jeans and tugged. The kiss then grew hotter. It grew wilder. My left hand slid up her body and touched her breast over her shirt. Belle opened her mouth and let out a sigh. Feeling her breath, tasting her sigh, I knew I had to have her again.

Fuck, I had to have Belle right there on the spot.

She shuddered as I lifted her shirt up over her head. She bit her lip as I unsnapped her bra and pulled it off her body. I draped it over one of the lawn chairs and then admired that I had Belle fucking naked on the roof of the clubhouse. Her arms were crossed, covering her beautiful breasts. Her legs together, showing the cut of her slit.

Goddammit, she was fucking amazing.

I touched her wrists and pulled. “Don’t be afraid.”

“This is insane,” Belle whispered. “Anyone could come up here.”

“Then we better hurry.”

I pulled her arms down to her sides. Her nipples were super hard, my hands unable to control themselves as I touched her. I palmed her tits and squeezed, feeling my cock sliding down the leg of my jeans even more.

I couldn’t stand it any longer. My cock was full and needed release.

I stepped back and took off my leather cut. I figured the right thing here was to make it fair. So I took off
