Chapter 3
The guys sit in Templo and talk about what to do and decide the only thing to do is to keep an eye on the house to see if he comes looking for me. They go to walk out of Templo and Hank stops Bishop. "Can I get a minute?" Bishop nods and the last one out closes the doors to give them privacy. "Something you want to share Bish?" Hank asks. "Like what?" Bishop asks. "You got a thing for the new girl?" Hank asks smirking. Bishop runs his hand down his face and says "Fuck." Hank pats his shoulder and says "Nothing wrong with claiming a girl. She has every one of our numbers but you're the one she called. You want to claim her, do it before one of those dumbasses do." Hank says. "Yeah. Maybe." Bishop says and they walk out of the room.
Walking up to the bar, Bishop walks over to where I am and tells me "We're going to have the guys keep an eye on your house. See if he shows up again. The card or box neither one had postage on them so that means he's delivering them to the house himself or getting someone else to do it for him. You don't leave this compound until we find this guy. I promise we won't let him near you." he tells me and I nod. "Thank you guys. I'm so sorry I brought this to your door." I tell them. "You're familia. We got you." Taza says and I nod my thanks. Angel and EZ head out to watch my house and I move over to one of the couches with a cup of coffee. Bishop walks over and sits next to me. "You okay?" he asks. "Honestly? I don't even know what okay feels like anymore. I've spent so long looking over my shoulder and watching what I say and do to keep from pissing him off that I don't know." I tell him. "You won't have to worry about that anymore. We'll find him and handle him." he tells me. "Thank you again Bishop. You know when I saw that box, I didn't think twice about calling your number. It's like I know I'm safe around you." I tell him. "Good Sweetheart. That's how we want you to feel." he says. "I look at him for a minute and say "I think I'm going to head to bed." I tell him. I kiss his cheek before heading down the hall to the dorm they told me would be mine.
I am jolted awake by another nightmare and once I get myself together, I walk down the hall in just a nightshirt and pair of panties and walk to the kitchen for some water. I look at my phone and see it's just after 3am. Walking to the main room, I see the Templo doors open and see Bishop sitting there looking at what appears to be a glass of whiskey. I walk to the door but don't walk in and knock on the door frame. He looks up and asks "What are you doing up Sweetheart?" I smile softly and say "I was getting a drink of water. Do you need anything?" I ask. "Come here." he says and I slowly walk into the room. I walk over to him and he stands as I walk up and I see the worry lines on his face. I place a hand on his cheek and ask "What can I do?" He turns and kisses the palm of my hand and says "I just want to make sure you're safe." he says. "Bishop?" I ask and he looks back at me. I move forward and place a soft kiss to his lips and feel his hands move to my hips, pulling me closer as he deepens the kiss. When we come up for air he says "Marci…" but I place my lips to his one more time. "I'm not doing this because you're helping me Bishop. I want this too." I tell him. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me to him and just holds me. "Are you sure?" he asks. "Yeah baby. I am." I say and he kisses me passionately but doesn't push me for more. When we finally come up for air, he says "Head on to bed Sweetheart. It's going to be a long day." I kiss him one more time and say "Goodnight Bishop." He whispers in my ear. "Goodnight Sweetheart." I pull away and walk to the door and say "You should get some sleep too." He nods before I walk away and for the first time in a while, I feel things might work out.
The next morning, we are all sitting at the bar getting coffee when Bishop's phone rings. I stiffen and he puts his hand on the small of my back and I instantly relax. "Hey...yeah...good...where...send me a picture to confirm and we'll head that way." he says before ending the call. A second later a text comes through and he shows me his phone. "Is this him?" he asks. I nod my head yes. "That's him. Bishop that's him." I tell him. He cups my face and says "Stay here. Creeper is going to stay and keep an eye on you. We'll be back soon and you won't have to worry about him anymore." he says. I look at him and say "Please be careful. All of you." They all nod and when they go to walk out, I grab Bishop's hand and stop him. He looks at me and I pull him to me and kiss him softly. "Be safe." I say. He nods before kissing me one more time and walking out the door. "Something we should know?" I hear Riz ask. "She's mine." is all he says before they walk out the door.
I sit on one of the couches and Creeper comes to sit next to me. "You and Bish huh?" he asks. "Yeah. Me and Bish." I say smiling softly. "Good. You two will be good for each other." he says and I look at him shocked. "Come on. We all saw how you two look at each other. You think he calls anyone else Sweetheart?" he says and I look down at my hands. "I just hope I can be what he needs." I say. "You will. All he needs is a good woman to stand by his side and I have faith you can do that." he tells me and I say "Thanks Creeper."
The guys walk into the warehouse where Jason was tied up, waiting. Bishop walks forward and tells Angel "Take his gag off." Angel does as he's told and Jason asks "Who are you?" Bishop smirks and says "What made you think you could come near Marci?" Jason smirks and says "I own that bitch. She tell you that? I made that bitch my property. Why? You want a go with her? I think we can work something out for the right price." Jason says and you can see Bishop tense with rage. "You don't get a say in that anymore." Taza says. "Why's that?" Jason asks. "Because she's with me now. You will never come near my Old Lady again. I'll make sure of that." Bishop says and everyone's eyes go wide. "Old Lady? She will will always be my property. You think every time you touch her, she won't see me? Call her schiavo and see how she reacts." Jason tells him. Bishop gets in her face and says "She's my Old Lady. She will always be my Old Lady and the only thing she will see is me." Bishop says before taking a knife and stabbing Jason in the throat and watching him bleed out. When they are done, Angel walks over and says "Prospect knows what that word means." Bishop looks at EZ and he says "It means slave in Italian." Bishop walk back over to Jason and takes out his gun and unloads his clip in his chest and face. "You get him?" Taza asks and Bishop smirks at him and says "Let's head back." They all head outside and Riz asks "You know you called her your Old Lady?" Bishop looks at him and says "Yep." before mounting his bike and they head back to the clubhouse.
When the guys get back, I am still sitting on the couch with Creeper and see the guys walk in. I stand up and Bishop immediately walks to me and crashes his lips with mine, pulling me as close as he can get me. He picks me up without breaking the kiss and heads down the hallway to my dorm. Walking inside, he closes and locks the door without letting me down and walks over to the bed. Breaking from the kiss as he lays me down he says "It's handled. You're mine baby." I smile softly as a tear slips from my eyes and he wipes them away. "You still want this?" he asks. I kiss him softly and say "More than anything." before we start shedding clothes and he enters me slowly. Thrusting in and out at a slow and steady pace as not to hurt me I whisper "I won't break." before his thrusts become hard and fast and I find release after release before he finds his inside me. Still inside me, he kisses me deeply and says "You're my Old Lady." I smile softly and whisper "Anything you want boss." before he lets out a laugh and pulls me into his side and we spend the rest of the night talking, kissing and making love.
