I followed Caleb out, noticing all of the carnage. I cringed, realizing that this was a product of the MC, which may not be bad, but it had a dark history attached to it. Caleb looked at me.

  “When we get back to that base, I need to talk with my dad. If that’s cool with you,” he said.

  “Sure. What about?”

  “About…the future,” he said.

  I had a feeling I knew what that was. I smiled, understanding the predicament.

  “Good luck,” I said.

  We went over to the other hideout, and I stayed with my mom for a bit. I knew that whatever Caleb needed to speak with his father about, it would be something that was better left between the two of them.

  Chapter 5: Caleb

  I felt my heart race as I got near the door. I wanted to tell my dad about the future of this MC, of everything. When I finally got to the doorway, I hesitated for but a second, and then opened it.

  “Hey there,” my father said.

  “Hey, Dad. The deed is done,” I told him.

  “That’s right. You did the right thing. So did Mary. I know it was hard for her, but she needs to know the truth. That this business isn’t easy for anyone, and it requires you to figure out what to do about it,” he said.

  “Yeah. Which is why…I think we need to talk. The truth is, Dad, I don’t want to run the MC. I know you said you were going to give it to me after everything was done, but…I don’t want it. I don’t want it to exist anymore if I’m going to be honest. If it does exist, it’ll only hurt other people.”

  He sat there, his hands in his lap as he listened to me.

  “I see. So, you don’t want to take this over?”

  “No, Dad. I don’t want to live the life of a criminal anymore. I know you kept the MC open in order to help with the sales of the drugs here but…I don’t want that on my hands,’ I said.

  “But Caleb, this guarantees you a place of power in the city. If you say no, I am going to disband and then we will have to cover our tracks.”

  I felt the sting of guilt course through me. I could tell he was a little bit upset that I was refusing to follow in his footsteps. But I nodded.

  “I made up my mind, Dad. The thing is, I want to spend my life with Mary. She changed me, and this whole thing has been hard on her,” I explained.

  “Yeah. So, did she kill him?” my dad asked.

  I paused, noticing the look in his eyes. I nodded.

  “She wanted to do it,”

  “It was the right thing to do. I think it partially has to do with Zephyr since she was married to him for so long, but...I feel bad she had to take those matters into her own hands,” he said.

  “I feel guilty as well. I know she’s trying her best, and I can tell she’s quite worried about what might become of us.”

  “Well, what do you want from this?” he asked.

  I hesitated for a heartbeat. I wondered if I should tell him.

  “The truth is, Dad. I want to spend my life with her. I don’t want her to hurt anymore, which is why I don’t want to take over the MC. I want to…I want to be with her, no matter what,” I told him.

  He looked at me, assessing my face.

  “So, you want to marry her?”

  “Yes, Dad. Not just yet, but I do want to marry her down the line. I feel like it is what I wanted since the day I met her.”

  “Very good. I see you’ve put some thought into it. The thing is, Caleb, I don’t want to take it over either because if I do, I’m not going to live my own life. We can hide all the evidence of this place. I’ll eliminate all of your involvement––and Mary’s and Zephyr’s. But you sure you really want to live a normal life, right?”

  “Yeah, Dad, I do. I’m done with doing this criminal shit just to make some money,” I told him.

  “Very well. I trust you’ve thought long and hard about it.”

  “Yeah, I did.”

  He reached over, giving me a key.

  “What’s this?”

  “I have a small house that I’ve been keeping on hand for the moment when you decided to leave the family business. I’m proud of you, Son. Thing is, I’m about to leave the country myself. My new boyfriend, Paul, he…he wants me to come with him,” my dad explained.

  “I see. So, if I didn’t take over, you would’ve shut it down anyway?”

  “Yeah. And even if you did, I would’ve stepped in,” he explained to me.

  “Good. I don’t…I don’t want anyone’s blood on my hands.”

  “I don’t either. So, we’ll stay in touch. But I think this is goodbye. I’ll have everything cleaned up by the end of the week, but for now, you should spend time with her,” he said.

  I knew who he meant, and I nodded.

  “I will, Dad.”

  I left the office and went over to where Mary and Zephyr were. I saw Mary hugging her mother, and her mom stroking her hair.

  “We’ll visit each other soon,” she said.

  “Are you sure you want to go through with it, Mom?” she asked.

  “Yes, Mary. I don’t want you to worry about me. But my next job is soon. You have my number, and if you ever want to join this life, you can always call me,” Zephyr said.

  I looked at Mary, noticing that she was nervous about all of this. I felt bad for her, especially with the way things were.

  “Thanks, Mom,” she said.

  Zephyr turned to me with a smile.

  “I’ll be around. You can always call me,” she said.

  “Thanks, Zephyr. I’ll see you,” I said.

  She walked away, and I took Mary’s hand. Mary looked at me, and I grinned.

  “I want to take you somewhere,” I told her.

  “Sure,” she replied.

  We went to my motorbike, which was brought over from the other base. I looked back, realizing the pain of the past was now gone, and, instead, the future was brighter than ever.

  I could finally leave. I was finally free, and ready for whatever.

  Chapter 6 :Mary

  Where was Caleb taking me? We went through town, and then, to the outskirts. I noticed it was close to where our first date was, but then, he took a left turn. We then were in a spacious place, outside of the confines of the city. When I finally noticed the bike stop, we got out. He grasped my hand, and in front of us was a spacious home.

  “What is this?” I asked.

  “This is my dad’s second home. He gave me the keys. He told me it’s okay if I don’t want to follow in his footsteps if I don’t want to…to, you know, follow the path of the MC,” he explained.

  “So, he’s okay with you not taking over?”

  “He is. He doesn’t want to take it over either. I knew once we finished the business with your dad, everything would end,” he told me.

  “Good. I don’t want that either. Caleb, am I a bad person for what I did?” I asked.

  “Not at all. You did it out of self-defense, and you saved many people. Your mom is able to live her own life now,” he explained.

  I nodded, feeling a bit hollow, but also relieved.

  “I’m glad I’m not a terrible person. I’ve been a bit worried about whether or not I did the right thing, honestly. I feel like…if I did choose this path it would feel different, but I don’ regret it. My dad almost killed me,” I said. I remembered that time when my dad was lusting for power, and I was at the mercy of his words.

  I looked at Caleb, and Caleb smiled back at me with a cheerful smile.

  “You did the right thing, Mary. Now, we can focus on the future. What do you want to do?”

  I paused. I was free from the clutches of my dad and free from his standards. That was a good question.

  “That’s a hard call honestly. I want to live my own life, but I’m not sure where to begin. I wonder if I should just…go back to school like nothing happened.”

  “My dad said he’d fund anything we do. I think it’s worth it if we go back to school and build our lives here. Together,’ he said.

  I nodded.

  “Yeah. I want that too,” I said.

  “Actually, Mary, there is something I want to give to you. I know that…I know that we have a ways to go before we end up pursuing this, but…I’m not going to sit here and not say it.”

  I looked at him, unsure of what he meant, but then, he moved towards me, getting down on one knee, opening up a small box. My eyes widened, my jaw dropped, and I simply looked at what he had.

  It was a ring. It was a small, diamond ring, but it meant everything.

  “You don’t mean—”

  ‘yes, I do, Mary. I want to marry you, but I know it won’t be right away. I’m thinking a year or so down the road. But I’m not going to leave you for anything. I want to stay, and I want to make you happy. So, what do you say?”

  I took a moment to let this all in, the right words failing me. But then, I simply nodded.

  “Y-yeah. I’d love that,” I said to him.

  He grinned at me, and I could tell that he certainly meant it.

  “I do mean this, Mary. I want you to be in my life forever. Even if it’s rocky right now, I want you to stick around,” he said.

  “I want that too, Caleb. I really do.”

  He then slid the ring on my finger, giving me a soft, gentle kiss. When we got inside, I realized this place was way better than my college apartment, and it was the beginning of a new, wonderful life.

  “So, where do we start?” I asked him.

  “With this,’ he purred.

  He then pressed his lips to mine. My heart stopped for a second, and, for a moment, I felt like time had stopped. I didn’t feel on edge anymore. I had a loving mother who cared about me. I remembered what she told me before I went with Caleb. She told me, that if I ever wanted to stay with her, she would help me in a heartbeat, and that, if things did get hard on me that I could always call on her.

  She did tell me she was going to take another mercenary job in England, and she'd be out there for a bit, so I could just email her and discuss this with her. I knew that, even if we were far apart, she was always on my side, no matter fucking what. When he pulled away, he looked at me with a serious expression.

  “I love you, Mary. Don’t you ever forget that” he said.

  “I…I love you too, Caleb. No matter what, it’ll be okay.” I was a bit scared of my future, especially since I didn’t know if I’d actually go back to my home or not. I mean, I honestly didn’t want to, but who knows.

  But, when I kissed Caleb, I didn’t feel worried about anything anymore. Caleb touched my arm, looking at me dead in the eyes.

  “We’ll be okay,” he said.

  “We will, Caleb. I know that.”

  As we kissed, Caleb grasped me in his arms, carrying me bridal style up the stairs. This place was huge, almost like his dad’s place when we visited that one time. When we got to the room, he put me down on the bed, his lips over mine. He hugged me, his kisses made me feel drunk. He started to move towards my neck, lightly biting and nibbling on the skin there. I started to shiver, moaning in pleasure as he bit down on my flesh, sucking on it.

  He bit a little harder than before, leaving a couple of marks in their wake. Which was fine, I wouldn’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Then again, I did wonder what might become of us.

  Caleb continued to kiss down my body, moving his lips against the edge of my collarbone, lightly dusting his lips downwards. I began to feel my body tense up as he kissed all over my body, touching me there.

  I looked at Caleb, and I could see the heat in his eyes, and his hands moving against my stomach and hips, and then proceeding up to the very edge of my breasts touching them gently. I shivered, moaning out loud, feeling the pleasure of the moment.

  I felt happy, calm, and satisfied with everything that happened just now. It was so satisfying, so nice, and as I started to feel my entire body tense up, I noticed his hands move towards the back of my bra, undoing the clasp and pulling it off my body. He gave me a long, passionate kiss, and as I clung to Caleb there, I could feel my body aching for him.

  “You good?” he asked me.

  “More than good. I feel…wonderful.”

  I didn’t feel scared of the future, nor did I worry about whether or not things would be okay or not. For the first time we didn’t have anyone chasing after us, nor did we have any other bullshit standards to follow.

  We just had each other, and to me, that’s what mattered so much more than anything else.

  I looked at Caleb as he moved his hands downwards, touching my nipples, tweaking them with little touches, making me moan out loud and in pleasure.

  He continued to touch and tease my nipples, letting his hands move against them slightly. I shivered with delight, and soon, his lips replaced one of his hands, suckling on my nipple with small touches.

  I shivered with delight, moving in to feel more from him. He let his hands move towards the edge, teasing them slightly, and then, one of his hands went to my panties, touching me down there.

  The sudden, welcoming touch made me spread my legs in an inviting manner, moving my body against his fingers. He rubbed me there, touching me slightly. It felt amazing, and with everything that transpired, I certainly didn’t want this to end.

  He pushed his fingers against my clit, and as he did that, he bit down on my neck, causing me to moan slightly as I moved my body forward. Everything felt like it was on fire, every touch sending shivers from my spine all the way to my core. My body yearned for it all, and with everything that was happening, I could feel the raw, pure desire of my body as he continued to touch my most secret of places.

  I felt my head begin to spin, everything changing as he did this. His sheer touch was enough to make me want more, and everything from this was driving me to the point of madness. He then moved his hand towards the waistband of my panties, taking them off and tossing them to the side. Without any further hesitation, he spread my legs apart, pushing his tongue in and touching the head of my clit.

  I shivered, crying out as he gently grazed his tongue over the tip of it, making me moan in pleasure as I felt him touch and tease me slightly. I started to feel his tongue move inside, immediately invading me, and I began to cry out in pleasure, and for every single moment, I felt like time had stopped once again.

  He continued to dive all the way into me, making me want nothing more than to sit there, my legs spread open, and my body aching for more. He touched me in every single area, making me love every moment of it.

  He then moved his fingers inside me, pumping, and I moved my body, letting my hands move towards his pants. I grasped his cock after pulling it out, and I started jerking him. He shivered, crying out loud with delight as my eager ministrations grew in force.

  I ached for him. I craved more from Caleb, and I wanted to experience this moment together.

  After moving away for a second, I pushed him down on the bed, getting on top, and without any further hesitation, I let him slide into me. I relaxed, enjoying the moment as I started to move my body up and down, my hips moving in sync with everything else.

  I shivered as I started to feel him push himself against me, both of us holding onto one another, loving every passing moment as it continued to happen. This was it, this was the perfect moment, and I could feel his body start to tense against me.

  I rode him like never before. I craved this feeling, and I didn’t want it to end. He grasped my hips holding me there, and we started to moan and then kissed one another as he pushed his hips against my own. The combination of our bodies against one another, the pleasure of the moment, everything was making me realize that this was it, that this was indeed the perfect moment.

  It was then when, after a few more thrusts, Caleb pushed me down, spreading my legs fully part before thrusting deep within me. I grasped the sheets, moaning out loud as he did this, holding me there. After a few more thrusts, he angled his hips upwards, and when he did, I let out a small cry, and that’s when I felt it.

  The throes of my orgasm hit me, and when I felt my body finally relax, I noticed Caleb pulled out, covering my stomach in his white seed. He looked at me, and for a second, I didn’t know what to do. I then leaned in, kissing him passionately, and he started to kiss me back.

  For the longest time, we just stayed there, kissing with a desire that neither of us expected. When we finally pulled away, he smiled.

  “Well, that’s one way to celebrate everything,” he teased.

  “Yeah, I think we both need that,” I told him with a smile.

  “That we did. I mean, it’s nice, neither of us are worried about the future anymore, and instead, we can do what we want. My dad said that I didn’t have to worry about my previous connections, which is a relief.”

  “You’re telling me. I was worried about you, honestly, considering how this could’ve gone and all,’ I said.

  “Nah, my dad gets it. He wants me to be happy, and I understand why,” he pointed out.

  “I do too.”

  As he kissed again, I pulled back, looking at him.

  “So, I take it over the next few days we’ll move everything in here?”

  “That’s the plan,” he said.

  “Good. I would like that.”

  After we kissed and passionately rekindled the spark of our passion that had not yet been completely satiated, we fell asleep in one another’s arms.

  The next day, I went back to my old apartment, the one that my dad knew about. But the fact that he wasn’t here anymore left an aching feeling in my heart. When the news of my dad’s passing came, instead of there being any hatred for the event, people seemed relieved.

  The church he was running apparently embezzled a shitload of money. I did give it back, especially since I didn’t want that blood on my hands, that’s for sure. I found out my dad was sleeping with a lot of the parishioners, and most of them were trying to find out the truth. I discovered that a couple were even undercover cops. They pardoned me because I hadn’t known, but I learned from this that I did the right thing, especially since my dad was nothing but an evil bastard, who only cared about himself.
