Hellbound MC - When Broken Hearts Collide

26. Reaper

Standing as she covered my tattoo, a million thoughts were running through my head. Her childhood, her admission of guilt, that kiss. I'd never felt a connection like it. And I knew in that moment I could never just be her friend. I could pretend for as long as it took to win her over but for me its always been more than that.

It felt so different to how things were with Ivy. When I met her there was an instant attraction, but she was basically falling over her feet to be with me, which at the time I found appealing. The sex was hard, furious and frequent, but it had only been sex, no real emotion behind it, just two bodies desperately taking what they wanted from each other. And we fought constantly, about everything and nothing. She wanted me to make her my old lady right away, but I didn't see the rush if we had the rest of our lives. Then I came home from a 3 day run with a couple of the boys, and she'd packed up her shit and gone. Left a note about me not loving her enough and going back to be with her family.

I called but she'd changed her number. Tried to track her down but I didn't even know where her family lived. Some how getting to know each other on a deeper level hadn't seemed important in between all the sex.

And slowly I watched myself turn into the man I was before that fateful night meeting Alexis. A cold, angry soul.

I thought I loved Ivy, but as I stood here watching Alexis it hit me like lightening. It wasn't even close. What Ivy and I had was lust, but with Alexis, whatever was happening between us it was so much deeper than that. I could feel it deep in the core of my being. And it felt good. Really fucking good.

Caught up in my thoughts, I couldn't help myself. Turning around and catching her off guard, I wrapped my arms around her waist and hoisted her into the air, spinning the both of us as her hands interlocked behind my neck, careful not to touch my back.
She laughed, and I kissed her again. Couldn't get enough of her. She was my own personal brand of heroin, and boy was I addicted.

You make me feel alive again Alexis, I told her honestly as I placed her back down on the ground gently. I know you said just friends, but I want more. Incase you didn't know, I added slyly and she grinned.

As far as I'm concerned your mine, I said sternly, totally prepared that being such a masochist would probably blow up in my face.

Ok, was all she said, and I was shocked. Over the fucking moon, but shocked.

Nothing official, no titles or nothing she continued. But I'm yours.

While she cleaned up, I texted the prospect to meet us out front, and about half an hour later we were in the truck heading back to her place. After sending the prospect off, I helped her get all her stuff up the stairs then settled on the couch, glad her flatmate was out.

Handing me a beer, she sat down next to me just as my phone started ringing in my pocket. I ignored the first call, only for it to begin ringing again immediately.

Sorry babes, better take this I said pulling the phone out of my pocket and answering the call.

Reaper, where the fuck are ya boy. My fathers voice boomed from the speaker.

Just with a friend Grunt, I replied, looking up to see a scowl gracing Lexi's fave which had me grinning.

Well get your ass back to the clubhouse now, I'm calling church. Stump and Killer got into it with the fuckers that jumped me a couple weeks back and Stumps been shot. I want revenge and I fucking want it now son, he roared down the line before ending the call.

I guess you have to go... Alexis said quietly, her face pale.

Sorry babe, duty calls I replied. Dragging myself from the couch I placed my beer on the coffee table before pulling her to her feet.

Don't worry about me Lex. I'll be fine. Always am. Its just church anyway, I'll call you later when I'm done.

She nodded, kissing my cheek and trying to pull away from me, but I held her tighter, whispering in her ear.

Remember Alexis, your mine. And I'm yours. 

Kissing her one last time, I made my way for the door. Until next time babes, I said grinning as I turned back to look at her, and she blew me a kiss and winked. Sexiest thing I'd ever fucking seen.

Walking into the meeting room we held church in, I could feel the anger radiating off of the men at the knowledge one of our own had been hit.

I want revenge, Grunter spat as soon as I'd settled at the table. A humm of agreement sounded around the table.

And I know just how we're gunna get it done he continued with a self satisfied smile. Tech intercepted a call about an hour after Stump was shot. Seems they know about Tanks run tomorrow and were planning on taking him out. Word on the street is they've been eyeing our turf for a while now and want in. So we gotta teach em a lesson.

After hours going over every detail of the plan, of which I was heavily involved, Grunter ended church, instructing everyone to get a good night sleep. I made my way to my room, thankful for the comfort of my own bed. Grabbing my phone from my pocket I called her number, eager to here her voice again.
