Chapter 3

Walking into the main room we take a seat at the bar and Chucky put coffee and breakfast in front of us. I look at my plate and take a deep breath and start eating slowly. While we're eating, Bishop walks over and asks "How'd you sleep?" I look at him and say "Better than I have in a long time. Thank you." He pats my shoulder and says "Relax today and tomorrow Chucky can show you the ropes in the office." he tells me. "Thank you Bishop." I say. He heads over to one of the tables and I look at Hank and he puts his hand on my thigh and I ask "Are you working today?" He shakes his head no and says "Thought we'd go for a ride." I nod and say "I'd like that."

After we eat, we head out to his bike and he hands me a spare helmet and puts his helmet on and once he gets on his bike, I get on behind him and wrap my arms around him and it actually feels normal. We head out of the yard and down the main strip. Before I know it, we're heading out to the desert. We ride around for a while before he pull down a little pull off. I see that we pull down a little dirt road. Once we come to a stop in an opening, there's trees around us and a place in the center for a fire pit. We sit there for a few minutes before he speaks. "How are you feeling with all of this?" he asks. I get my thoughts together and say "Honestly, I think I'm still figuring that out. I mean, I can honestly say I'm in love with your bed." I say and we both laugh a little. "But seriously. It was the first night in six months that I didn't have to sleep with one eye opened and I mean, snuggling with you felt really good and actually felt comfortable." I tell him. "Good. I want you to be comfortable." he tells me. "Tell me more about you Hank." I say as he pulls me between his legs to sit and it feels normal. "I'm forty-eight, been in the club about twenty years. Only kid. Parents gone." he tells me. "I lost my mom about four years ago. Breast Cancer." I tell him. "Any brothers or sisters?" he asks. "Nah. It was just me and my mom. Grew up in a small town in Georgia and first chance I got, to get out, I took it." I tell him. He feel him pulling me closer and I turn my face to look at him. He kisses me softly and I turn and kneel in front of him and deepen the kiss. I move to straddle him and when we break the kiss, he says "We don't have to do anything until you're ready." I kiss him one more time and say "I thought about things while we were riding around and, Hank, I want this. You claimed me and gave me a home when you didn't have to. I owe it to you to give this an honest shot and I really like kissing you." I tell him. "Me too." he tells me before kissing me again and the more we kiss, the more I feel him getting hard beneath me. "I don't want to do anything here. You deserve better than this." he tells me. "Okay baby." I say and he smiles softly.

After a while, we head to get something to eat. Walking in, his fingers laced with mine. Sitting at a booth, we are across from each other and he reaches over and touches my hand and I gently grab his and he smiles. We place our orders and while we wait on our food, he asks "Can I ask you something?" I look at him and say "Sure." He looks at me seriously and asks "Are you okay staying at the clubhouse?" I look at him confused and I ask "Why wouldn't I be?" He says "Don't most women want the house and white picket fence and shit?" he asks. "One thing about me is I'm not like most women. As long as you don't beat me, I don't care where we stay. I'm not real high maintenance. As long as I get coffee and food I'm good. And sex. Lots of sex." I say laughing and he starts laughing too. "I think I can live with that." he tells me and when we finish eating, he pays and we head out to his bike and head back to the clubhouse.

Walking inside, hand in hand, we head to the bar and Chucky hands both of us beers. "How was your day out?" Taza asks. "Relaxing." I say and Hank pulls me into his side and you see Taza smiling. "Glad to see you two smiling." he says. "Like I told Hank, he claimed me when he didn't have to. I owe it to him to give this an honest shot. Helps that he's hot." I say and they start laughing. We hang out for a while longer and when we head to bed, he says "I think you said something about lots of sex?" I pull him to hover over me and say "Claim me Hank." And he does just that.
