Reckless Renegages

Chapter 5

Merigold

Holy s**t. What the hell was that? I shook Axel's hand and I got a jolt that ran through my entire body. The man is hot as hell. Six feet five of pure muscle.

His black tee shirt looks like it is about to burst at the seams. It is so snug I can see the outline of his abs. I would like to rake my nails down. Wow. Where did that thought come from?

His black jeans look like they were painted on and accentuate his strong thick legs. He has dark brown hair that goes to the collar of his shirt. Perfect for grabbing. What is wrong with me?

I could get lost in his light green eyes. His face looks like it was sculpted from marble. His skin is tan and reminds me of caramel. I wonder if he tastes like it?

Merigold, get a hold of yourself. Have you lost your mind? These are your brother’s family, and you are eyeballing one of them like a starving woman.

Then, to make matters worse, there is Rowdy. At least six foot two. Built like a linebacker. Wide shoulders that I want to wrap my arms around. Jet black hair that looks like he runs his fingers through it a lot.

I could help with that. Really Merigold? His ice-blue eyes look like gemstones. Golden brown skin. The guy looks like a model. When I shake his hand I get the same jolt as when I shook Axel's.

I look back to Axel and Rowdy. What is in the holy hell? The last time I had this reaction to a man was with Jace, the twins’ father. Now I'm having it with two men. Really? What the f**k wrong with me? I know, I haven’t dated in a while. That has to be it.

Rowdy

Merigold is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. That accent. Damn, I can barely contain my d**k. 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. 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. f**k those t**s look fantastic. More than a handful. 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?

Who the hell is she? Prez is acting very protective of her. Is she his Ol’e Lady? " Shall we?" he says. She grabs the boy’s hands. “It was nice meetin y'all,” she says, but is looking at Axel and me.

When she starts walking off, 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. A real relationship. Never. I know I felt something from Merigold and so did Axel.

Prez bangs his gavel. s**t, I spaced out. I looked at Axel and noticed he did too. I hope we didn't miss anything important that could bite 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 shot a look at him.

What the hell is he talking about? Before I could ask, Prez started saying:" What I'm about to say doesn't leave this room for the time being. That's a request from Merigold. I'm going to honor it.”

“Merigold is my sister. She doesn't want everyone to know 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 s**t. 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 with 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 black hair, for instance. Prez smiles" Yeah. 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,” Viper continues.“ From what I found out, she has a rough life. Never really had a family. It was taken from her by the b***h 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 right, 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,” he said.
