Nefarious MC #1 - Nobody's Ol Lady (27 page)

He waited for her answer but she had fallen asleep. He’d remind her of that in the morning he thought as he shut his eyes. Somehow they’d get past all of this shit and make a life together. Who would have thought a chance meeting in a baby store would have been the way that he fell in love were his last thoughts.

M
ad Jack walked silently into the bedroom and shook Black Dog wake. “Bro, Hunter’s funeral is today. Darko wants us up at the clubhouse, no chicks riding bitch either. Willie and Dee will use the Mustang and have to follow the funeral procession.  I made the coffee; my ol lady is still asleep. Get the hell up, BD so we can plan this.” He left Black Dog to get dressed while Willie stayed asleep.

Shirtless with his huge tattooed arms leaning on the table, Black Dog waited for Mad Jack to hand over a mug of coffee. “I totally forgot today was the funeral. Shit, Willie wanted to go over to that doctor’s house. How the hell am I going to talk her out of it?”

“Better find a way, we’ve got clubs coming in from the surrounding states. Some are already here too. It is a mandatory funeral run. Willie can’t ride with you. Elena, Kima, and Joy are all in the limo. I could get Dee a ride but not Willie. I figured you’d want them together. Plus I don’t think the Bound for Hell ol ladies really want Dee with them, those chicks are all in mourning, and Dee didn’t know Hunter.

“There’s a big party afterward at the Lodge. Catered food, a band, and that is mandatory too. I think it is safe for Dee and Willie to drive alone. There’s no other choice unless you want them with my parents?”

Mad Jack didn’t look thrilled at that idea. “We’ve got so many clubs around here that are at war with the Filthy Fiends that I think it’s safe for them to drive themselves. I doubt my parents want to go to the party and Darko wants to do a vote tonight on Sonny. He says we can drink but not get drunk; we’ve got to get this shit settled now that Sonny is outta jail. Darko wants him replaced Dog. Guess who he wants to replace him with?” Mad Jack looked at Black Dog seriously.

“I don’t know, Swiper? Right now I am more worried about Willie then Sonny being replaced bro.” Black Dog sipped his coffee, not really caring about much.

Mad Jack punched Black Dog on the shoulder. “Don’t let Darko hear that shit. Because your name is the one everyone is suggesting. You’re going get the vice president’s seat, bro. My name went in for a SAA position. Think I’d be any good at it?”

Black Dog grinned, “Jackie boy, aint nothing to it as long as you don’t mind fighting or asking questions and getting answers. I never was good at hurting chicks so this will be a relief
IF
what you’re saying is true. Shit, I’d make a damn good vice president. What does Darko plan to do with Sonny, because he isn’t gonna like this at all, you think?”

“Hammer wants Sonny for some reason. He came from up north anyway so good riddance in my opinion. I figure we go to the party, tell the chicks to meet us back at the clubhouse about eight. Darko wants us back there at six. So that should be plenty of time. He really wants us all on our toes and Whiskey wants to see Deidra around ten, I hope she’s okay with it.

“I think she is really upset with her dad but if he wants to see her I can’t say no. I’m running over to Sea Jewels for a big diamond ring for her. I plan to give it to her right before she has to meet with him so it will give her some security. I’m not gonna get in your business about Willie bro, but what are you planning to do about her? If you don’t ask her to be your ol lady, somebody else is going to, it isn’t fair to Willie. Let her go if you don’t want her, Dog.” Mad Jack looked at his brother with concern.

Black Dog took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “Jack, I am asking Willie tonight to be my ol lady. I even know where I want my ink, script letters across her upper thigh. I can’t wait to see property of Black Dog on Willie’s skin. Never thought I’d say that either. So don’t worry about Willie.

“I love her and you can stop being her big brother. I hope she loves me enough to put up with all my shit and this shit with Althea. I want to find my daughter or find out if she is my daughter and where she is. You plan works for today and later tonight. Willie and Dee will be safe, if I were a Filthy Fiend; I’d have headed north already days ago. Go get your engagement ring and bagels. I’ll say you went out for bagels and donuts.”

Black Dog watched Mad Jack nearly run out the door and wondered if one day he’d be asking Willie to marry him. That was a word he hated and wondered why. He had a normal family life, good parents who loved each other.

He was the black sheep of the family and if he thought rationally it really wasn’t clear why he’d joined a motorcycle club. He wasn’t a follower and was more of a leader, which was why Darko depended so much on him. He was able to think clearly when things were a cluster fuck.

He loved the lifestyle of being a biker though.

He loved a good fight and until very recently he had loved fucking different women.

Willie had really changed his whole outlook on that. He looked forward to going to sleep next to her and waking up next to her was even better. He hated that she was hurt and he’d fix that as best he could.

Again he thought of Althea and that baby girl. Would Willie accept her if he was able to find her or would that end up a deal breaker? No child of his was going to be without him in her life especially since Althea wasn’t exactly “mommy material.”

Black Dog drummed his fingers on the table as he sipped the coffee. That baby had to be around unless she had been an illegal adoption. Plenty of people had known about this and they had better have the answers he was seeking. Or they would be paying in their own blood.

Willie watched Black Dog sitting at the table; he looked so serious she hesitated to walk into the room. As though he sensed her he turned and smiled that wicked grin that so turned her on.

“Babe, good morning, Mad Jack made some mud he says is coffee. You want to make a fresh pot please?”

“Of course, do you want breakfast?” Willie was happy to see his smile.

“Nah, Jackie boy went for bagels and donuts. Today is Hunter’s funeral so we’ve got to wait to see Doctor Rayne. I’m sorry but it is a mandatory run and Deidra’s father wants to see her tonight. I’ve got a club meeting and it is a full day. We can go over there tomorrow, I promise you.” Black Dog sounded sincere.

As Willie measured the coffee her hand slipped a bit and she spilled some of it on the counter. “I totally forgot about the funeral, of course tomorrow is fine with me. I feel so badly for Elena and her baby. Thorn must be a mess too. It has waited this long, another day won’t matter. Teddy needs to stay away from the funeral; she doesn’t get along with Thorn from what I remember. Maybe she can just crash here for the day?”

“Your sister will do whatever she wants to do but yeah, it doesn’t bother me if she wants to stay here. Dirty Deeds isn’t opening in honor of Hunter anyway tonight. Now come over here and kiss me good morning.” Black Dog opened his arms and Willie flew into them as their lips met.

Deidra walked into the room and laughed as she spotted Willie sitting on Black Dog’s lap. “Do you two ever stop? It is kinda early for all this kissing isn’t it? I woke up and Jack was gone. Do you know where he went Black Dog?” She yawned and stretched waiting for an answer.

“Jack went for bagels and donuts, today is Hunter’s funeral. You and Willie have to drive yourselves. There’s a mandatory funeral ride—absolutely
no
backrest bitches. You know how they go Dee. By the way your dad is here.  He wants to see you tonight after we have a meeting. Jack figured you’d rather not ride in the limo and drive with Willie.

“It is safe, so many clubs are already here and more are coming in. Party will be at the Lodge afterward and our club is staying straight. You and Willie will be coming to the clubhouse around eight so you can hang out longer then we can. Jack is worried about how you feel about seeing your dad. Are you going to be all right with that? It isn’t like we can say no to Whiskey, he is your dad.”

“I don’t mind seeing my dad, I know he didn’t bring Margo, Satan’s Attitude never brings ol ladies on funeral runs and she is too close to giving birth. I get along with my dad as long as she isn’t around. Although I doubt he gives a shit if I am happy or not. He didn’t care about sending me away and I’m sure Margo wouldn’t be happy knowing I fell in love with Mad Jack. Did he tell you we’re going to get married?” Dee’s face was filled with happiness.

Willie jumped up and hugged her friend. “Congratulations, Dee. I’m so happy for both of you. When is the wedding going to take place?”

“Only Jack’s parents know so far. With the funeral, we didn’t want to tell anyone. We hope to have Jack’s mother and sisters plan a wedding as soon as possible. It has to be a big wedding and I hate planning stuff. I think I’ll just let them do whatever they want and pick out the wedding dress. I was wondering Willie, would you please be my maid of honor?” Dee looked at Willie hopefully. “I’m not close to Jack’s sisters really and there is nobody back home I’d want to ask”.

“Of course, I’d love to be your maid of honor, I’ve never been one before but I’ve been a bridesmaid. Black Dog, it is okay isn’t it?”

“You don’t need to ask my permission Babe, you want to be in the wedding of course you can be.” Black Dog was amused at how excited the girls were and left them talking as he went down to the garage to check out his bike.

Once in the garage he made sure his bike was spotless and checked Mad Jack’s bike out. Both were fanatic about keeping their motorcycles spotless and Black Dog had been kidding Willie about cleaning his bike. Nobody touched his motorcycles but him.

Today would be a somber day until the party. He hated the funeral runs. It was always a bummer to bury a brother and he had liked Hunter a lot. He didn’t care for the parties after. He liked Darko’s rule about staying sober, things could get really fucked up with drinking and so many clubs around. One shove, one wrong look and it could erupt into a fight that could involve shooting and that was no way to honor a fallen bro.

An all out war with other clubs could happen and sometimes did over the silliest things. It was bad enough that they were warring with the Filthy Fiends. He hoped they wouldn’t start any trouble and thought Wolf had enough sense to lay low. He heard Jack’s car pull into the driveway and went out to see if he needed help with the donuts. He was planning to open that box and get his favorite Boston Cream before the girls could grab it.

W
olf looked over his club and made sure even the worst fuck ups were straight today. Things had gotten a bit better without Skunk but he was no closer to making peace with Bound for Hell, Nefarious, or Satan’s Attitude MC’s.  That was fine; he was still trying to talk sense into the other chapter presidents. He had warned his boys to lay low, that too many bikers were in the area. He did plan to do a little sneaking around though. They would be using their ol ladies cars and be lurking around checking out who was in the area.

Wolf also wanted that brown haired girl. Today was a perfect day to snatch her and when she was missing the cops would look at all the clubs in the area. He scribbled down her license plate, the model of the car, which was a red 1972 Firebird.
