Bring It On

Chapter 23

Christmas was amazing, better than I had ever expected it to be. Out of all the gifts I had gotten, the locket Reaper had gotten me was my favorite. Inside was a photo of us in his cabin. I think his favorite present I gave him were a couple wallet sized boudoir photos of me. I had given them to him in private and they went in his wallet.

It was good to be home though. We came back in time for the New Year's party which I was told is usually their biggest party ever. I decided since it was a special occasion, I wouldn't be out done by the many other women I knew would be there. I wore a cropped silver halter top, leather pants that hugged me, heeled boots that went to my knees, and a little make up. I wore my leather jacket and put my hair up. The only jewelry I wore was my locket that Reaper gave me. 

When I got to the compound, the party was already in full swing. I found Reaper at the bar, drink in hand. His eyes ran over me a couple of times as I made my way over to him. When I was within reach he pulled me flush against him. "How did I get so damn lucky," he asked in my ear so I could hear him despite the music. 

I wrapped my arms around his neck, "I could say the same thing." 

He gave me a heart stopping kiss before getting me a drink. The party got wild and it was an interesting way to greet the new year. In years past I was usually at some bar with some random guy. This time I was with the man I loved.

"So what are going to be your resolutions," I asked him out of curiosity. "To further work on my recovery so I can have a better future with you," he replied. I smiled brightly as the count down to the New Year began, "I can get behind that."

He gave me a soft smile as they hit ten. "Will you marry me," he asked. Despite the loud yelling of numbers from the high and drunk partiers, I could hear him just fine. "Yes," I answered, unable to contain my happiness. When they cheered happy New Year, he kissed me while slipping a ring on to my finger.

I then laced my fingers with his before pulling him towards the stairs to celebrate the New Year and our engagement the correct way. As soon as the door was shut he had me pressed against it, his lips on mine. His tongue teased the seem of my lip and I gladly opened for him. He dominated my mouth instantly and I loved every second of it. He then trailed his lips down my neck, and I moaned softly. He moved us from the door to the bed where he removed the rest of my clothes before he began to give me a refresher on the kind of pleasure his mouth was able to give me. Fuck I was so damn lucky, I thought as my thighs shook. When he stood, he smirked down at me. I watched as he stripped off his clothes, following his movements closely. Despite the pleasure I had just received, I needed more. I would never be sated when it comes to him. He was a special drug to me. 

When he climbed into bed, I was quick to wrap myself around him as he entered me. I let him have complete control of me, knowing I would never regret it. He had me in every position he could think of, and I came more times than I could count. The last thing I remembered was his smirk of satisfaction before he kissed me. 

When I woke up it was past noon. Reaper wasn't in bed, but I heard the shower running. I sat up and grabbed a cigarette and lighter. I was enjoying my smoke when he came out with a towel around his waist. I let my eyes run over him as I took a drag from my cigarette. He smirked, and took the cigarette from me. He took the last drag from it before putting it out in the ash tray. 

We got dressed and went downstairs. Reaper went to Viper's office while I went to pour myself a cup of coffee. Tanner and a few others were sitting at the bar, clearly hung over. I grabbed the pot when I noticed Tanner staring at me. 

"You wanna talk about it," he asked me. "About what," I asked a little clueless. "About the massive rock on your finger," he answered. I looked at my ring. I had to admit, Reaper didn't spare any expense on the ring. I wasn't usually big on diamonds or anything flashy, but despite the thing being covered in diamonds with a massive one in the center, I loved it. "Oh, Reaper proposed," I said with a shrug, but I still had a small smile on my lips. I felt like being a total girl right now and gush about how my sexy boyfriend proposed, but my brother was in front of his biker buddies, so acting casual is best. 

"When," he asked confused. "Last night," I answered as I put some sugar in my coffee. "You guys were all too stoned and drunk to notice." My eyes went to Reaper who was leaving Viper's office with Viper following him. "What are you ladies talking about," Viper asked us. 

"Reaper proposing to Anna-Lee," Brick answered. "And the massive rock he gave her." "Yeah Venom, how much are you paying him," Motorhead asked, but I could tell he was just kidding. "If you didn't blow all of it on hookers, smoke, and booze, you'd be able to afford things like that," Viper told him. "But those things make life so enjoyable," Motorhead declared while the others agreed. I rolled my eyes as I shook my head at them. 

Reaper pulled me to him, "We're headed out for a job. We should be back in a couple of hours." Meaning it was a small one. I nodded, "Be careful." He gave me a kiss before they left. 

When they were gone well past sunset was when I began to worry. What happened to them?
