MELISSA'S POV
"She's really sick, Dad."
I had just finished telling him what I had to deal with the night before with Mom. He sighed. "Yeah, Ia know she is, but what do you want me to do about it?"
"She needs help. Help that we can't give her." I didn't want to see my Mom go down this path any longer.
I would love nothing more than to have somewhat of a normal relationship with my Mom again. Right now, she was a shell of her former self and I hated that for her.
"I know. After tonight, I will look around for some good rehab places and see if I can get her into one of them."
I hugged my dad around his stubborn neck. "Thanks, dad."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, now stop with all of this lovey-dovey shit and help me out with this before the guys get here and we have to take off."
I smiled as I pulled up a chair and got to work.
ALEXANDER'S POV.
Running drugs wasn't what this club was founded on, but in this community, we had to do whatever we could to get the income; no matter how much we all hated it.
"Hey, brother, you ready to get your freak on?" Smokey smacked me on the back as we got off our bikes.
We made another successful run and were safe and sound back at the clubhouse.
"You know it," I replied.
I wasn't looking forward to the party, but I could definitely use a damn good buzz before I left my brothers tomorrow. None of them had heard the news yet, but Axel would tell them soon
.
As I sat in my chair in the meeting room, I looked across to find Mellisa's chair empty. Where the hell was she? She rarely ever missed a meeting.
All the guys took their seats as Axel looked around, his eyes landing on Melissa's empty chair as well.
"Melissa won't be joining us for the meeting, but she will be back later."
I wanted to know where she was, but I knew if I asked, the guys would give me a bunch of shit. Axel would probably tell me to mind my own fucking business anyway, so I kept my mouth shut and leaned back.
Axel got on the meeting as we discussed the run that took place, and what to expect for the next one. Then Axel turned to me and told the guys he had an announcement.
Here we go.
"Alexander will be leaving us tomorrow for some time."
They all looked shocked and confused as they looked between me and Axel. This was new to all of them, obviously, and by the looks on their faces, it wasn't good news.
"I'm sending him north to help set up our new chapter. I have no idea how long it will take. Maybe a few months? So, until then, I am pointing Gearhead to fill as Sergeant At Arms until Alexander returns."
I felt like I got punched in the gut. First, this prick sleeps with my girlfriend, and now he's taking over my spot in the club?"
"No fucking way," I blurted out, but when I tried to continue, Axel cut me off with a stern voice.
"I am the President, am l not?" He pointed his question at me mostly before he glared at Gearhead. All the guys nodded, including me, no matter how upset I was about it.
And I was a fucking livid. If my mood was sour enough, now I was fucking sour thinking Gearhead taking over my patch until who knew when. Then my thoughts took over and I clenched my jaw. What if while I'm gone, Gearhead not only takes over my position in the club, but Iin my entire life? My patch and my girl?
Right now I wanted to punch something, I was glad the meeting was over because I desperately needed a stiff drink.
When I sat at the bar, I noticed the clubhouse was beginning to fill up with anticipated party-goers for tonight's festivities. At this point, I could give two shits about the party. This was until the clubhouse door opened and a five-foot-seven-inch beauty stepped inside, making my dick throb.
Long tanned stretched legs out from the bottom of cut-off jean shorts that didn't leave much to the imagination. She wore black heels that I pictured wrapped around my ass I fucked her. My eyes traveled up her torso to see her stomach exposed between her shorts and grey v-neck tee as her perky breasts just about exploded out the top. Her long, blonde curls framed her face and fell just below her tits where my eyes landed on a petite version of my own cut.
Melissa. Fucking. Dunkens.
My heart rate spiked as I felt my mouth water. She was always the most gorgeous woman in the room and she had always been mine until recently.
Most men in three states knew that she belonged to me and never stepped out of the line because of it.
But when the guys whistled and hollered cat-calls at her, it made my hunger spike through my veins. She was mine.
I slid off my stool and greeted her just inside the door.
"Beer?"
She smiled up at me, nearly making me loose control as my eyes moved to her mouth. Her plump lips were covered with lip gloss, and her sparkling green eyes were sexy as hell behind her long, dark lashes. Melissa was the type of girl that was sexy as hell wearing zero make-up, hair pulled back, and sporting pajamas, but when she dressed up like this, I seemed to loose all intelligence. Fuck, she could drop me to my knees in a heart beat.
"Thanks," she grabbed the beer from my hand and headed toward the bar, taking the stool next to the one I had just vacated.
I felt like an animal as I checked to see if my tongue was sticking out of my mouth. Melissa Dunkens always made me fucking weak. I followed her over to the bar and sat in my spot
Jane walked over , glaring at Melissa before she threw me a wink and smiled."I see you need another beer, honey."I only nodded as she popped the top and slid a fresh beer in front of me. I looked over at Melissa to see her reaction, and found myself disappointed when I saw she was looking straight ahead with no emotion on her face. She wasn't showing any jealousy at all and that bothered me.Normally, she would be throwing daggers at Jane with her eyes as I waited to act if she lunged over the bar.Then she turned to look at me, her tits stretching the material of her shirt."How was the run today?", She asked confidently."Fine. Good. Yeah, it was great," I stumbled over my words.What the hell, man? I was a grown ass man, not a fucking teenager. But damn, she was distracting as fuck right now.Melissa giggled and I nearly lost my shit. Her giggle could ruin me in seconds.Man, I was in trouble tonight. I had to control myself before things worsen."I better go help Gear the keys r
MELISSA'S POV.I was incredibly turned on as Aleksander bit my bottom lip just the way I liked it. He knew me more than even I did sometimes, and right now was one of those times. I felt like my nipples were going to rip holes in my shirt if they weren't pressured soon. But that's what pulled me back to the now. What was I doing?!I was falling back into his damn trap again! I pulled away from Alexander's lips and spun away from him, but he was quick to pull me back to him. His stroking tongue and nipples against my neck drove me wild as I moaned out.Looking up, I saw Jane watching us with evil eyes. Tonight was about making anyone jealous or getting back what was supposed to be mine, but seeing the way Jane watched us, I knew I had a new mission."Give me one more night," Alexander whispered into my ear as my heart ached.I really did want one more night with him too, if only to say goodbye, but seeing Jane made me want to have one more night with him just to prove to Jane that Alex
ALEXANDER'S POVI wasn't sure what was the more difficult at this moment: that I fell sleep with the raging hard-on that I couldn't take care of because I couldn't get Melissa's crying face out of head, or that I was leaving tomorrow and wasn't sure when I would see Melissa again. She made it clear last night that we were done, and I was afraid that she really meant it this time. She was never able to say no to me, but last night she did it with a lot of confidence that l really believed her this time. And that tear sliding down her cheek! Damn it, she was killing me.I strapped my duffle bag to the back of my bike before I looked back to my brothers who came to see me off. They all gave me a slap on the back kind of hug before stepping back to their spots. I wasn't surprised that Melissa hadn't shown up this morning to wish me farewell. It was pretty clear that last night was her goodbye; as much as it is hard to admit it.But then her car pulled into the lot and my heart skippe
MELLISA'S POVJust as i was seated in my office, Gearhead popped his head in the office. "Hey, are you okay." I looked up and smiled. "Sure, why wouldn't I be okay?""Just that Alexander left today and won't be back for awhile." He shrugged."Am fine. That was bound to happen", I shrugged my shoulders.I totally didn't care plus, if I ever thought I was going to get over Alexander, this time apart is what I needed. I had trusted him way back when, so sure that he really and truly wanted me, but I had been wrong. I knew I wasn't a wrong about this. I was going to leave the club and this was another step closer to seeing that happen.My first step was mailing off a package this morning, which included a demo of me singing and playing my guitar, to a music producer.I found in Memphis that was taking a on new talent. I had no idea what was going to come of it, but I would know unless I tried, right?"True, well let me know if you need anything." He turned to leave when I stopped him."A
DRAKE'S POV."Talk to me, Aaron, what the hell is going on?!" I was full of nervous as I walked in the tiny space that would be my living room and kitchen."Jane antagonized Melissa. Oh, man, it's really bad, Alexander."My heart fell into my gut. If anything happened to Melissa, I was going to lose my shit."What happened, Aaron?!" I was getting impatient and very fucking pissed off.Melissa put Jane into a comma. She beat the fuck out of her. I have never seen anything like it, man. Melissa went fucking crazy after what Jane said about you. I don't even think she knows what happened because afterward she looked freaked out. Melissa was white as a ghost."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I know Melissa was a badass, being a Dunkens and all, but to put someone into a comma? Fuck me."Is she okay? Melissa? Both of them?""I don't know. Do you think you can come back for a night? I know it's such a long fucking drive, but it's fucking nuts around here right now. Pres is back at hi
"Oh, for fuck's sake. We're back to that again?" He grabbed my hip and kept me from going further."Don't do this."I gave him a hard glare. "Why did you come back here?", I asked angrily.His brows furrowed. " What do you mean? I came back to make sure you're okay. What kind of stupid question is that?""I didn't want you to come back. I am fine." This time when I moved, he let me. Deep down, I was disappointed that he let me go again, just once, I wanted him to fight for me but he unfortunately didn't."You're seriously going to push me away again?" He sat up, rubbing his hands over his face. "I just drove five fucking hours to get here." He added while looking disappointedly at me."I just told you I didn't want you to come back! So, you wasted your own damn time, not my fault." I puffed out my chest. "And I am not pushing you away again. The last time I checked, I pushed you away once but you won't let me go! Why won't you let me go?! I want to be happy, but you won't let me!",
I woke alone, reaching out for Melissa but found the bed to be empty and cold. I just didn't understand her sometimes. Why would she leave after we shared a pretty intimate moment the night before? Why does she have to be damn stubborn? Crawling out bed, I headed for the bathroom to freshen up before I went out into the bar to find Careen manning the men. Danny, Gearhead, sergeant the prospect sat at the bar nursing on their beers. Looking at Gearhead still left a bad test in my mouth."Beer me." I stood at the bar as Careen slid me a fresh cold one. Taking the first sip of the morning was glorious. My eyes scanned over my brothers, but I didn't see the one person I was looking for. "Anyone seen Melissa this morning?"Gearhead was the one to answer, making me groan. "She went home. Just left about thirty minutes ago."Of course, she went home. I took a few more pulls before I slid my still half-full beer across the bar and winked at Careen.."See you later."I didn't know what I was
MELISSA'S POVThe next day, I found myself at the clubhouse waiting for my dad to get here so we could discuss what to do with Mom. But he was taking much longer then he said he would be, and I was staring to get impatient.Sliding into the stool at the bar, Careen came over with a beer and set it down in front of me. I shook my head and pushed it away."I can't have it, you know that."Careen nodded, "I just wasn't sure since you've been drinking."I glared up at her. "Yeah, well I have decided it isn't good for the baby anymore." And I didn't need her to judge me for it.Careen winked. "Your secret is safe with me,. Darlin'."Before l could reply, the clubhouse door swung open and Axel Dunkens walked in, looked around the room, and then pointed his glare on me. He nodded toward the back before he marched across the room and disappeared down the hallway.I slid off the stool and went in pursuit of my dad, shutting the office door behind me before I took a seat in front of him."W
