Intro

Damian

I'm sitting here in my MC, the Devils Army, nursing a beer when my VP and best friend Brody walks in with his newest woman of the week. Candy? Brandy? Tammy? Hell I don't know. She wont be here next week anyway. He always does this. Finds a woman who pretends to love him and all that he’s worth and then in a week or two he finds her with some other brother in the club.

Not me though. I haven't been with a biker bunny or club whore for years. At 35, I'm tired of the same old shit. My names Damian by the way, but everyone around here just calls my Prez. Yea I'm the president of this MC. Were not a 1% club but we aren't afraid of anything that fucks with whats ours.

There are about 100 in the MC or Mother Charter. Not all live here at the compound and not all are nice decent guys. I mean we are bikers. Most of the older bikers have Ol' Ladies and they are either super nice or a fucking bitch. And when I say super nice I mean they will get on their knees while their husband is tongue fucking a bunny at the same time. Hey whatever gets your rocks off I guess.

I turn to Brody and realize that he's been talking to me this entire time. Fuck, I'll here this later.

"Hello.. Prez.. Fuck man, you drunk already?!"

"What Brody? I'm not in the mood."

"Yea no shit Prez. You need laid. Hey baby think your friend thats coming into town next week will like the Prez here?"

As I look over this new girl hes brought I notice that she's not actually a "bunny type". I mean that's a shock! She has a cute face, great smile and a body that looks like she works out. Well shit I might see this girl for longer than a week so I better get to know her name then.

"Ummm, I don't know honey, I mean he is definitely her type but I really don't think that she is looking to get into anything at the moment." This girl sounds like shes using her real voice and not some fake bullshit voice that women think we want to hear. Wow, I might actually like this girl for Brody. God what the fucks her name again?

"Come on baby! They'll be perfect together from what you tell me!" Brody says.

Ah fuck, looks like I’m not getting off easy on this one. I look over their way and try to let them know I'm not looking either. "Hey guys, I don't really want anything either at the moment. I mean shes more than welcome to come hang around with you.. hun but I've got too much shit going on to be worried about being tied to a woman."

This girl actually looks like I did her a favor and Brody looks at me and scowls a bit. What is up with him tonight? I mean he’s tried to set me up before. Well if threesomes and bunnies for one night count but hes never pushed a girl on me this much.

"Whatever you say Prez" Brody looks at me like I'm missing something and I almost care to ask when I look towards the door and see my fucking uncle Skull show up. Yea I dont know his real name, no one does but this asshole is about to stir up a shit storm I dont know that were ready for.

I look around the room and just look towards Skull and chin lift him towards church. "Hey! All nonmembers go home." Every woman sucks their teeth and the men start to shuffle them out. "NOW!" I bellow with the most powerful voice I have. There's a reason my uncle Skull is named that. He's killed several people men and women that he says looked at him the wrong way. And I don't want to have to clean up a mess tonight. If he's here he wants something, so lets find out what it is

Lilith

As I'm in this god forsaken airplane I cant help but think of whats waiting for me back home.

My best friend Kelly. She moved to Colorado a couple of months ago when she had a bad break up with her ex Carter. They dated a couple of years but she always felt like there was just something more that she was missing out on.

My family, well whats left of it, most gone by their choice and I wasn't fighting them on it. They didn't agree to my choice of deploying with a kid at home and my ex who had just been killed by a car bomb in Kuwait. They said I moved on to quick and that I needed to take time to grieve. Well people who take the time to do that have time and I don't. I asked my mother-in-law if she could take care of Jack, my son, until I got back from deployment. She agreed but that was when I was supposed to be home six months ago. I've gotten letters and they understood but it still hurts leaving my son for that long.

My Son. He's ten now and smart as a fucking whip. He mails me every test he takes and I always mail him back a picture of where ever I am. He tells me that he cant wait for me to come home, how much he misses his dad and that Lisa, my mother-in-law, is doing fine. She has her youngest to keep her company and although he started out as a shitstorm he straightened out just fine. Logan, her youngest, went from fighting in school and failing classes to becoming a marine, and a damn fine one at that. She had another son that went missing five years ago, Trey, no one knows what happened to him and there was never a body so we all try to look at the bright side and say he’s out there somewhere happy.

The plain shuffles and when I look to my sides I see the two people that have had my back since our boots hit the ground. Cal and Tyler. They are my two very best friends and I trust them with everything. They know about my ex and my son and that I don't have much to go home to. They have helped me through this deployment and I don't know what I would do without them.

Cal, short for Callen is a little bit older than me, only like 8 years and he is hot! Yes we've hooked up on occasion since my ex. Hey everyone needs to get off somehow. And with his wife leaving him just before deployment we were both on the same page. No feelings, just sex. It worked and kept us sane in a whole lot of insanity.

Tyler, who is a few years younger than me has been a friend of mine ever since he came to the unit. He and I get along so great that we sometimes don't even have to talk to have a conversation. He is also single. Well for now what he says. He's been into my best friend Aubrey for years now.

Aubrey hasn't really given him the time of day and I understand. She has a daughter and she is super protective since her ex tried to steal her. They're fine now and she now has sole custody. I was her character witness and the judge granted her custody as soon as I was done testifying. Yea in a small town like we lived in when a dual military couple with a kid who lost his dad, you get pitied. At least I could use it for a good cause though.

"Hey Lil, you going home first?" Tyler looks over at me as I'm snapped from my thoughts.

"Yea probably. I know I gotta call Lisa and figure out where they are. Last I heard Logan joined the marines and is stationed at Ft Carson just outside of Denver. So I think I'm going to make it out that way first. Plus Kelly said she moved their too. So might as well. Aubrey said her and little Emy are ready for a change since the judge just granted her the right to refuse visitation." I think about what I just said for a second and realize that my entire life is moving to Denver. Oh well, I'm kinda used to it.

Ive relocated several times in my life and this shouldn’t be any different. I moved out of my families reach so I couldn’t be controlled when I was fourteen. And I’ve moved out of the eyes of people who thought that me not grieving enough when my ex passed.

He was.a good father and a decent fiancé. Never once cheated, or did anything to hurt me physically or mentally. We just were good together. We knew each other’s strengths and weaknesses but there was hardly ever a flame anymore. We lasted 10 years on a spark. And while I will always love him for giving me a perfect son, I always felt there was something that was waiting for me out there.

I look out the window and realize that were landing and I mentally prepare myself for the next 12 hours. Debriefing and customs here we come. Although it was a tedious and boring process we made it through pretty quick and I am asked to report to my commander and take a deep breath as I enter his office.

“Walker, please take a seat” He says to me as I enter. Yea my name is Lilith Walker, so original but my parents weren’t known for that.

“What’s up sir?”

“As I’m sure your aware you have reached the end of your enlistment and I am asking you for the last time if you would like to re-enlist.”

I look at him and go soft for a second. He notices and adds “I know you’ve been through hell and back this year and you’ve taken it in stride. What with loosing your fiancé and being asked to deploy the next month. You are one strong woman and we would be honored to serve with you.”

I take a deep breath and look up at him. “Sir I am sorry but no, Ive given the army 12 years and that’s enough for me. I think its time to slow down a bit. I was to see some family I haven’t seen in a while and I really need to spend some time with friends who aren’t in the military at the moment” I laugh at the end of that knowing that Tyler and Cal will insist on helping me move to Colorado anyway. And I’’m not quite convinced that Tyler is coming back either. His enlistment ended with mine and he’s had my back for a year. I don’t see him letting me alone now since I haven’t cried since my ex’s death. I know he want to be there when I break and I silently thank him for it.

“Well I understand,” My commanders voice snaps me out of my thoughts.”I just want to let you know that if you ever change your mind we will be glad to have you.”

“Thank you sir, you’ll be the first to know if I change it” I stand up shake his hand and then turn out the door and almost skip outside knowing that its just another 4 hour flight until I get to see my little boy
