Chapter Twenty
Harley
They say life comes with hardships and with those hardships you have to take the blessings that come within. No matter how big or small.
When it comes to hardships that’s been my entire life. I never knew what blessings were until I met Neo. He’s saved me from myself when all I wanted to do was end it all. If I’d taken my life, I wouldn’t be standing here now having my life rocked completely.
There’s something to be said about having news broken to you in a way that will blow your mind. I honestly think if it was not for Neo standing behind me with his arms holding me tight, I might have collapsed right then and there. I never expected to be staring at a man whose eyes are nearly the same as the ones I see in the mirror every day.
After Neo found me in the room and talking me away from the edge, I’d allowed him to talk me into coming with him to the main room and sitting with Jordan and Rachel while he went into the room where they hold church.
Though I don’t talk to either of them they don’t mind talking to me. I even nod in acknowledgement to things they would ask me. I noticed none of the other women were in the main room. I wonder where they went.
Neo and the rest of the men return to the main room a short while later. Some of them looking downright angry.
Tracker and Shadow both come over to the table and apologize for their ol’ ladies’ attitudes. At first, I was startled by them knowing what happened and start to protest; however, Jordan held up her hand. “Don’t defend them for their actions. I heard what they said and I have no problem admitting I’m the one who spoke up. Family doesn’t do that to one of their own. No matter how upset they are for things they can’t control.”
Again, tears end up filling my eyes as I glance around the room, meeting each person’s gaze as they nod in agreement. Then I did something that surprises all of us and jump out of my seat and hug Jordan while whispering ‘thank you’.
Now standing here in the middle of the clubhouse, my world is altering once again.
“You mean you’re my dad?” I ask confused by what Nerd confirmed by getting a DNA test done between Badger and myself.
I have a dad, a brother, sister-in-law, and a nephew.
Oh. My.
Wow.
“Yeah, I’m your dad, if you’ll allow me to be,” Jasper says, clearing his throat. He’d gotten in not long after the guys finished church. Soon as he saw me, I knew he was here for a reason.
That reason being me. I couldn’t believe it until Nerd showed me the papers.
Several of the ol’ ladies step into the room but keep their distance, for no other reason than their men keeping them back. The only one who was able to join us besides Rachel and Jordan is Raven.
“I, um, I don’t know what to say,” I murmur, glancing from Jasper to Neo.
“Nothing to say, sweetheart. Not right now. You just had your world rocked. We’ve got time to get to know each other. Why don’t you relax and let your ol’ man help you come to grips with it all,” Raven murmurs giving me a small grin. “Remember strength comes in many ways but the inner part of it always stems from somewhere and family is a great base.”
Raven’s words followed me into my dreams and as I stare at my man I have to agree with her words.
Strength comes in many forms and where it stems from is a great base. Neo is my base and where I get my strength from.
“You gonna stare at me all morning or you gonna make my day start off with a bang?” Neo rasps, his eyes still closed.
“I’m thinking, stare at you.” I giggle.
“Pity.” He grins and rolls me until I’m on my back with his cock pressing into my entrance. “I was hoping you’d say with a bang.”
“Well with you on top of me, I get to stare at you and you get to start your day off with a bang,” I murmur, sliding my hands up his arms to wrap them around his neck.
“Oh, I’m definitely bangin’ you this morning, Angel Eyes. When you’ll be feeling me all day long and tonight after the fight, I’m thinkin’ I deserve a reward,” he announces as he thrust all the way in to the hilt.
“Is that so?” I moan, my back arches into him.
“Fuck yeah, baby, it’s gonna happen and I can’t fuckin’ wait,” he states then finished talking he leans in and captures my mouth. His tongue dances with mine as he thrusts in and out to the same tempo.
Oh God.
He feels so good.
Neo reaches between us and toys with my clit causing my orgasm to assault me with its quakes of ecstasy.
Picking up speed he joins me spilling himself into me.
Breaking the kiss, Neo lifts his head. “I love you, Harley,” he rasps breathlessly.
“Love you too, Neo. Thank you,” I whisper.
“What are you thanking me for?” he asks, pressing a kiss to the tip of my nose.
“For being there for me when no one else was and for being my strength and most of all for just being you.”
“Fuck, Angel Eyes, I just came deep inside you and need you all over again. But you don’t have to thank me for any of that. Life brings you to where you’re meant to be when the time’s right and we just got lucky when the forces of nature decided it was time for you to get the love you always deserved. Now kiss me so I can fuck you until you’re screaming my name.
Giggling, I do as he says and then he does as he said he was
