A/N: Hello Lovelies! I know it's been a while but I am busting my ass with this pandemic. I look sexy as hell in my gown, mask and goggles, not! But I still found time here and there to write a little, I'm not promising on how regular the updates will be, but I will try. I hope you and your families stay safe and hopefully we can ride this shit out xxx
"Hold still lil' mama this'll only take a second." I give her a seductive wink as I look up at her then get back to work.
"Oh my god!" She cries out as she has a death grip on her friends hand
"There you go, all done, that wasn't so bad was it?" I smirk as I take off my gloves. She looks down and admires the new piercing in her belly button.
"Slut." Evie giggles as the girl and her friend wave as they leave
"If you don't mind Evie, I find that term offensive, I am clearly a skank." I shrug and she laughs. I've known Evie a few years now, her brother Socket is a member of our motorcycle club. I didn't even know he had a sister until she was released from the hospital. Now she's married to another member Reaper, and they have two cute little kids. Evie's so much happier than when I first met her, but I still see her brain over working sometimes, so I try to make her laugh whenever I can.
"Are you free this afternoon to sit in on my appointment?" She asks, embarrassment in her eyes, if she's tattooing a guy she doesn't know, Needles and I take turns sitting in with her to help her feel comfortable, I know she gets embarrassed about it, but I don't care.
"Yeah no problem, as long as he doesn't stink up the room like that dude last week." I gag
"Yeah, I still owe Needles for sticking me with him." Evie says rolling her eyes. Needles, another member of the Broken Demons Motorcycle Club, owns this tattoo shop, he taught me everything I know and then he taught Evie too.
"That girl told me to give you this." Becky says handing me a piece of paper. Becky is a college student who works the front desk at the shop between classes, Needles old lady Molly did it for a while, but then she opened up her bakery next door and we were stuck doing payments, paperwork and answering the phone.
I laugh when I look at the paper, the girls name and number with a heart next to it. I screw it up and toss it in the trash can
"Aww, not gonna at least buy the girl a drink?" Evie asks
"No way, I'm not into girls like that." I reply.
"I'm sorry but didn't you tell Reaper as long as she has two sets of lips you're good?" She smirks raising her eyebrow
"Do the guys keep anything from their old ladies?" I groan
"Nope." She says popping the P "It's more fun this way."
I roll my eyes as she walks off down the hall, Becky laughing as she turns up the music.
I keep my face neutral as I look around at my competitors, you're going down fuckers.
"I see you and I raise you." A smug voice says from across the table
"Call." I reply casually
"Son of a..." I groan when I see I've been defeated and Diesel laughs as he pulls all the candy towards him. Thank god we don't play for money.
"You lose uncle Ace." Delilah, Skye and Circuits daughter says before sticking her tongue out.
"I've gotta stop teaching you guys how to play, you're gonna bankrupt me!" I say dramatically. One thing I love about this club, all the kids. I love just sitting and playing cards with them for hours, or until they get bored. Reminds me of my brother, he and I would sit and play cards in our room all the time, hell even when we lived on the streets I still always had a deck of cards in my pocket to distract us for a little while.
"Uncle Ace?" I look up and see Toby has dealt the next hand
"Alright let's do this, you're going down." I growl playfully.
"Shit." I curse, momentarily forgetting myself
"Dollar in the swear jar!" Lily calls, she's the youngest and only daughter of my club president Killer, she's bossy, just like her mom Cordelia, but she's cute enough to get away with it.
"Did you kick his ass?" Scarlett asks as she walks into the kitchen
"Yeah!" Her daughter Jessica says triumphantly as she scoops up her pile of candy
"What do we say when we win?" Scarlett asks
"Sucks for you." Jessica says before sticking out her tongue, she's going to be as badass as her mom, I feel sorry for Knuckles having those two under his roof. They high five before they say their goodbyes and head out together.
"Church." Circuit calls from the hall and I gather up my cards, putting them in my pocket before making my way to the meeting room where we hold church.
I take my seat towards the back as my brothers filter in.
"Where's Needles?" Ice asks once we're all seated
"He's on his way, but he's going to be late, I figure we get started and I give him the run down later." Killer explains. Church is just the usual business, Sonny talks through the books of the businesses the club own and then Knuckles and Reaper about the weapons the club sells. Things have been pretty quiet around here lately, apart from a few months ago when BFG's girl had some trouble with her ex husband, but that's handled now. It's weird, I should be happy that we're not in danger and I definitely don't want to see my brothers hurt, but I'm so used to living looking over my shoulder, that I don't feel right unless there's a problem.
"Sorry I'm late." Needles says as he rushes in and takes his seat
"No problem, we were just finishing up, why don't you take the floor." Killer says holding his hand up
"I need to take a break from club business and the shop." He sighs
"What's up?" I ask
"I just got back from the hospital with Molly, she's on bed rest until the baby comes, so I need to step back and be there for her." He runs his hand over his beard. Needles wife Molly is a lot younger than him, but he's been a lot happier since she came around, I know he wanted kids but Molly said she was too young, but shit happens.
"The girls are with her now, they plan to help out, but I need to be there." He adds
"No problem dude, I'm sure me and Evie can handle things for a while, I don't mind putting in some over time." I reply. If it wasn't for Needles taking a chance on me I'd never be doing what I love, so it's the least I can do.
"Thanks man, but I've reached out to a few guys I know from the convention circuit, see if I can't find some one who'll do a guest spot for a few months." That'd be cool, to see someone else's work
"I'll talk to Evie about it later." Needles finishes
"Anything you need, let me know." Reaper, Evie's husband says and Needles nods
"One last thing before you all head out." Killer says holding his hand up as a few guys groan
"Now I know it sucks we had to cut Jack and Avery loose, but they just didn't make the cut, we have a new prospect, we're not giving this one an easy ride, he wants to patch in, he's gonna have to fucking earn it." Killer smirks. I hated that Jack and Avery got kicked out of the club, we all prospected together, but where as I busted my balls for this club, they made too many mistakes. When the time came I refused to take part in the vote to oust them, but my brothers understood.
"I'm headed to Scars, any takers?" I ask as I look around, I'm the only patched member who isn't tied down, these guys used to party every night, but now they all have women to go home to.
"I'm in." Doc nods, he is the only exception, he never used to party until his old lady Adeline came along, she's fun to drink with.
"Let's go." I nod as we head out, me, I'm free to fuck any girl I want.
