Lillian was a Virgo and I was a Leo and the signs were compatible. We were both serious and appreciated the rewards of working hard for what we wanted in life. And then there were times when my kidding around would help take the edge off Lillian when she’d had a bad day at work. But Lillian could really test my patience when it came to getting what I wanted, which was her. I wanted her body, her heart, and her mind.
Lillian finally decided on the tattoo she wanted—a dragonfly that I inked on her left hip, representing change, transformation, and self-awareness. If I had it my way, I would’ve inked up all the sexy places on Lillian’s body, but this was a start.
We skipped out of work one day and I left Seth to manage the shop since I didn’t have any appointments. He worked above and beyond what I expected of him at Mad Ink and also prospecting for the Chaos Kings. Rocky and Spider would soon gather all the brothers at the clubhouse to vote him in as a fully patched-in member, same as we did with Skully not too long ago. Our club was growing strong with good men who did the right thing. Being a Chaos King meant you belonged. It was tribal, same with the people I knew at the Underground. There was no judgment and you could be whoever you wanted to be without fear or feeling like an outcast.
I rode the bike to Lillian’s house and surprised her with a brand-new helmet. She dressed in a white tank top and jeans, with the new pair of riding boots she bought while shopping with Kat. But seeing her wearing the studded black leather collar I gave to her put a big smile on my face and a big hard-on in my jeans. She stood beside my bike and put the new helmet on.
Lillian arched her back, striking a pose. “So, do I look like a biker babe now?”
She held on to the helmet when I tightened my arms around her, kissing down her soft neck. “Wez, your beard tickles and you’re going to make my panties wet.”
I let her go and had to rub a palm down the front of my jeans. I snapped the new helmet on under her chin. She did look like a sexy carefree biker babe—one I’d fallen in love with. We climbed on the bike and rode west toward the mountains. It was a clear, warm day. The summer heat was on its way out and the chill of fall was taking its place in a few weeks. The rush of adrenaline was one of the best feelings as Lillian’s body was pressed against my back. We hugged the curves on the back roads and every once in a while, Lillian’s hands would roam. She’s playfully teased as they inched their way down my stomach down to the front of my jeans.
We parked the bike at the old diner that my Chaos brothers stopped in from time to time called the Knotty Pine. It’d been in business since the 1950’s and a stop we’d make every time because the food was good and the beer was ice cold.
The sun was going down when we pulled in and parked the bike at the clubhouse. Some of my Chaos brothers were already there to start the weekend with music, booze, and placing bets on some rounds of pool.
Magnet and Kat were there. Kat’s mother, Jean, was there too with her new boyfriend, Hank. He was one of Magnet’s coworkers and rode a Harley. Kat’s and Lillian’s mothers were polar opposites. The more I got to know Lillian, the more I understood why she was so uppity the first time we met. But she was finally free of her mother’s narcissism and hateful grip on her life. Lillian hurried into the clubhouse to give Kat and Jean a hug.
I played a few rounds of pool with Magnet while the girls chatted and laughed as they chose music from the high-tech juke box we had installed in the clubhouse. Skully and Tanya rolled in later, along with Gunner and Fiona. Lillian fit so well with the other Coven girls as they all huddled planning their next girl’s night out.
After a few rounds of shots, Gunner lifted Fiona on the bar so she could dance to some Buckcherry song. Then Magnet put Kat on the bar next.
“I wanna go up there and dance too!” Lillian said, shaking her sweet ass in those tight jeans.
I picked her up underneath her arms and planted her ass on the bar. She squealed and jumped up to dance with Kat and Fiona. I stood there and couldn’t take my eyes off Lillian as she danced and laughed, blowing me a kiss.
But then Skully hollered at me from the pool tables. “You’re up to play Gunner!”
“Fuckin’ hell.” I hardly ever won a game of pool. It just wasn’t a thing I was good at. But then nobody ever won a game against Gunner anyway. He was the shark.
I shook my head, tearing my eyes away from Lillian, to get my ass handed to me and lose some money.
EPILOGUE LILLIAN
I woke up beside Wez. I propped my head on my elbow and looked down at him. He was so rugged and dangerously handsome, but he looked like a big teddy bear while he slept. I giggled then, remembering how my man-beast was the night before. He stripped me naked and then blindfolded me with one of my scarves. I could only hear and feel what he was doing and I trusted him completely. He used soft nylon rope to tie my wrists and ankles to the bed posts so that I was spread eagle on the bed.
“You’re all tied up, exposed for my pleasure. There’s nothing you can do about it,
