Chapter 4

Rowdy

Merigold is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. And that accent. Damn, I can barely contain my dick. It's screaming MINE and is acting like it wants to jump out of my jeans to get to her. When I touched her hand I felt a jolt go through my entire body. That's never happened to me before. I could tell she felt it and I know she felt it with Axel. I didn't want to let go of her hand. It was so small and pale in contrast to mine. So soft. I wonder if she is soft all over. I tower over her little frame. I lower my eyes just a little and can see down her dress. Fuck those tits look fantastic. More than a handful. And  I want to get my hands on them. Lick them. Bite them.  

Prez pulls me from my thoughts `` Prospect." Lug Nut comes walking up. " Prez?" " I want you to show Merigold and the twins around while we are in Church, '' Prez says to him. That fucker grins at her '' Sure thing Prez." " Good to see you again, Lug Nut '' she says. Where the hell has she seen him before? Why are we just seeing her? And who the hell is she? Prez is acting very protective of her. Is she his Old Lady?  " Shall we?" he says. She grabs the boy’s hands `` It was nice meetin y'all." but is looking at Axel and me when she says it. She starts walking off and I get a good view of her ass. I groan inwardly. I hear Axel grunt next to me. I know we are thinking the same thing. We want her. Bad!

We are sitting around the table in Church and Prez bangs his gavel. " I know you have questions about Merigold. I will answer them after club business. Until then, not another word!" He is right about the questions. Like where did she come from? And more importantly, does she belong to Viper? 

We sit through the usual business. Making sure our money is coming in. Our routes are secure for our shipments, making sure our legit businesses are running well and no problems. I'm barely listening. I want to know the deal about Merigold. I know Axle is thinking the same thing. He and I have been friends forever. I'm not ashamed to admit we share a particular vice. We like to share women. We agreed that if we ever found the One we would share her as our Old Lady and wife. I honestly never thought that was gonna happen. It takes a special kind of woman to handle that kind of situation. Flings, sure we can have those all day long. But a real relationship. Never.  I know I felt something from Merigold and so did Axel.

Prez bangs his gavel. Shit, I spaced out. I looked at Axel and notice he did too. I hope we didn't miss anything important that could bit us in the ass later. Prez leans back in his chair at the head of the table. We sit in silence for what feels like forever.  Ace speaks up " When did you find her? I can’t believe she is home?" I shoot a look at him. What the hell is he talking about?   Before I can ask Prez starts talking " What I'm about to say doesn't leave this room for the time being. That's a request from Merigold and I'm going to honor it. Merigold is my sister. She doesn't want everyone to know she is my sister yet. Her words were that she wants to earn everyone's respect on her own, not because of who she is. Or use her to get in good with me."

Holy shit. Prez has a sister.  Prez continues " To answer your question, Ace. I found her three months ago. Ace you already know most of this story but I'm going to fill the rest of you in. Shortly after she was born dad got a letter from her mom along with a picture of a newborn Merigold. The letter basically said that she was my dad’s, including her birthdate and her name Merigold Raider Stevens. That's it. Nothing else to go on dad started a search anyway. When I was old enough I jumped in to help." Prez runs his hand over his face and sighs. "It took us 23 years to find her and bring her home. Dad knew she was found but didn't make it to meet her," he says. " Before you ask she took a DNA test for proof." " Hell, you can look at her eyes and tell she is his." Ace jumps in. Now that I know who she is I have to agree with Ace. She has a lot of Raider’s features. Like the black hair for instance.

Prez smiles " Yea. Her mom left her when she was 10 with the man she thought was her father. When she was 16 he found out she wasn't his and kicked her out. She never knew about Raider. From what I found out she has a rough life. Never really had a family. It was taken from her by the bitch that abandoned her." He has his fist balled up. He is pissed. I don't blame him. " I'm not going to give you all her personal details. They aren't mine to share. Dad wanted her to be a part of this life of this family and I'm going to make sure she is."

" It is her birth rite. She is club royalty." Tank says. " Your tight Tank. She is and will be treated as such. She didn't know what an MC was until I told her. I'm walking her through it. I would appreciate it if you would help with questions she may have if I'm not available. I don't want her getting told the wrong info. And no discussing our less than legal ventures. That is to protect her." We all nod in agreement. " Another thing.  Dad gave her half the clubhouse, the house, and the auto shop. So she owns the club even though she doesn't want it." " Doesn't want it?" Thor asks.

" Because she didn't know dad or this life. Since she wasn’t here she doesn't feel she earned it. She wants everything handed to me. I convinced her to hold off for now until she has had time to learn about everything." He looks around the table  " You are my most trusted friends, my brothers. I want your help to make sure she is comfortable and safe. Make her family. Tell her stories about dad if she asks. Help me give her a reason to stay."

" Prez what about her old man or the father of the twins? Isn't he part of her family? Is he someone we need to worry about?" Axel asks. Yea, that’s what I want to know. Where is he? Is he coming later?  Prez closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose for a brief moment before he answers, " She doesn't know I know this. I'm hoping she will tell me on her own one day. She was engaged about four years ago to the twin’s father. They were high school sweethearts. He was killed in combat three months after they got engaged. Shortly before the twins were born. I don't want that repeated. If she wants to tell it it is up to her.'' So she was made a widow at 19. Raising those boys on her own." Brick says. Prez just nods. I'm not sure who says it but " Damn " is all you hear. She has been through hell in her short life but still walks around with a smile on her face. I look up at Prez `` You have my word I will help out in any way I can." Everyone at the table all nods in agreement. " Thank you brothers," Prez says and dismisses Church. 

We make our way back to the bar just as Merigold and the twins are coming from the back. The twins run to Prez and slam into his legs. " Unka Viper the playroom is Awesome," they say in unison. " I'm glad you like it. Anytime you are here you can go in there as long as mom says it ok." Prez says smiling. "Unka  Viper I'm thirsty." one says. I can’t tell them apart yet. " Ok, Jax. What about you Jace?" Jace just nods. "  We will get you some root beer. Hop up on a stool" Prez says. We hear someone clear their throat from behind us. Prez turns " Spoiling them already I see." Merigold says with a smile. " Please momma?" I think it is, Jax asks. " One" and she points to Prez " Anymore than that your Uncle  Viper's  problem." The boys jump up " Yes. We be Unka  Viper's probem" they say in unison. I try very hard not to laugh at the cuteness. She just smiles and shakes her head. 

She is standing close to me and I catch the smell of strawberries and vanilla coming from her. I swear my fucking dick is going to have a zipper imprint on it. I met her less than an hour ago and my dick doesn't want to stay down. 

Merigold

The boys kneel in the bar stools drinking their root beers. Viper walks up to me. I decided to start calling him that out of respect for him. " So did you have a good look around?" " I did, yes. The place is huge. And I like that you have one kid-friendly section." " Momma didn't want go playroom." Jace laughs. Viper looks at me with his eyebrow raised " Why is that?" Lug Nut starts cracking up from behind me. Viper looks at him then back to me.

I pinch the bridge of my nose, take a deep breath then tell the boys `` Boys radio silence." They automatically cover their ears and hum to themselves. " All Lug Nut said was that he wanted to show me the playroom. I see a club of guys and I know you have the club bunnies around. I just wanted to make sure we weren't walking into a sex dungeon with whips, chains, leather straps, handcuffs, and whatnot. I really didn't want to have to explain that to the boys. So I told him we could skip that room" At least three guys spit out their drinks and Lug Nut is bent over laughing.

Viper has his eyes closed and is grinding his teeth " First I would never allow you or the boys into a room like that if we had one. And second I Never Ever want to hear the words whips and chains come out of your mouth again. I don't even want to know how you know those words."  I try to suppress a laugh which I'm doing better than Lug Nut. " Got it. I can only say leather straps and handcuffs." At that Lug Nut loses it. Viper growls and yells “ Prospect out.” Still laughing, Lug Nut says " See you around Merigold." I give a small wave. I tap the boys on the shoulder twice. They drop their hands " Radio silence clear." 

" I want to know what you think of the place in a minute. But first I want you to explain what you just did." Viper says. For a second I'm not sure what he is talking about " You mean radio silence thing?" He nods and I notice all the guys are looking at me. " When the boys can't leave the room for adults to talk we can put them in radio silence. They cover their ears and softly hum to themselves. Two taps on the shoulder and radio silence clear let them know they can listen again.”  " Boys go blind," I say. Everyone watches the boys cover their eyes without hesitation. I tap their shoulders three times " Visual clear" and they drop their hands.

" Three taps for visuals," I say. " Impressive." Viper says. " That causes us, soldiers!" Jax says beaming with pride. " Yes, you are buddy," I say. "Now I want to know what do you think about the clubhouse?" Viper asks. It is almost like he is nervous. " I like it. Going to take some getting used to. But I was wondering why I didn't see the sign." I say. " What sign?" Viper asks. I step on the back of Tank's barstool and hold on to his shoulders. " May I, big guy?" " Sure," he says clearly, having no idea what I’m doing. I answer Viper " The sign that says I have to be this tall to join." and hold my hand over the top of Tank's head. 

Ace starts cracking up and the rest follow " She has her father's sense of humor."  Viper just shakes his head but I can tell he is laughing too. They get in control when Jax asks " Unka Viper if these you brothers do that mean they are unkas too?" Tank answers " Sure it does, little buddy." The boys start bouncing in their seats " Yea. More unkas." They say. That starts another round of laughing.
