Chapter 1: Birth Rights
SLAM
Rigid cringes as he hears his almost 18 year old daughter (as she keeps reminding him) slam her door. Another fight, another moment when he wished she had a mother figure here to help him navigate life. Sure, Red Rebels MC and all the Ol’ Ladies in it have helped a lot over the years. Especially when Faith started puberty…because what fucking man knows shit about that?! Then again he tries to keep in mind that most men have a wife or at least a baby-mama that helps with those things.
“I HATE YOU, YOU NEVER LET ME DO ANYTHING!” Faith screams through the closed door. Peering out the window, she stares down at the party below.
“He acts like I asked him to allow me to drink. It’s just a movie and friends from school. I even said I would take one of the MC members with me!” She mumbles. Twenty-two days, twenty-two more days and she will be 18. That is how old her mother was when she had Faith. Or so she had been told. Her dad was 20 when Faith was born, but as long as she could remember it had only been him and Faith. Though she never had the guts to ask him, she had heard from some of the club gossip that her mother wanted nothing to do with her after birth. That she simply left her on the club doorstep and ran, fast and far the fuck away. She always dreamed of knowing her mother, but also wanted to slap her for leaving. A girl needs her mom.
Rigid had not been in a serious relationship since Faith had been born. Maybe that was part of his problem. He doesn’t have anything that can distract him from Faith…his whole world was Faith…and the club. Red Rebels MC - Carolina chapter was one of the smallest of the Red Rebels with only 52 members total. Although there had been a few guys her age trying to join..they all got turned down the minute her dad saw them staring at her.
Rigid was the president, his best friend Smoke the VP, next in line was Smoke’s son Venom, he was sergeant at arms, then the treasurer Deeds, and the tech guy, Tek. Those were the highest ranking members, either by the amount of time they’ve been in the club or by the amount of respect they had from the club. A vote would happen in a few weeks to replace the sergeant at arms, no one liked it but every one respected that Venom was being called to war. He has been in the Army for 6 years but this was the first time that Faith could remember him being called for service. There were currently 3 members on the line for Venom’s position. Crater, Depay, and Bear.
Cooper “Bear” Garcia…tall, tan, handsome, blue eyes, and refused to even look at any of the bike bunnies. He was 20, had a masters in business, owned a couple of businesses, and had Rigid’s ear/eyes with the new ideas he brings and how he gets shit done. Dad respects that, getting shit done. He sees no point in waiting around for the “right time”. Unless it deals with me. Then it is never the “right time” for a damn thing.
KNOCK, KNOCK
“Hey kiddo, I’m sorry. I don’t know how to do this sometimes. You are getting older, becoming a young lady. It’s hard for me to remember that when all I see is my baby girl. I’m going to head back outside, whenever you are ready, come find me. We will talk. I will do my best to listen. I love you kiddo.”, Rigid breathes a shaky breath as he turns to walk outside.
“Okay, I love you too dad.”Faith responds, causing a smile to land on Rigid’s face.
Faith slowly opens the door and walks down the hall, she turns to go into the kitchen and is met by a brick wall causing her to stumble backwards.
“What the fu…”, she grits out as strong hands grab and steady her.
“Sorry Faith, I was told that the extra beer was in here and figured I would grab some. Are you okay?” Bear looks at Faith with genuine apologetic expressions. He stands her up straight and allows his hands to linger on her hip and arm.
“Uh, um…I’m fine, thank you for catching me. The beer is in the basement fridge.” Faiths point to the door leading to the basement. “You can let go now, I don’t think I will be falling over again.”
Bear lets out a small laugh as he runs his hand through his long black hair. “Thanks, I’ll go down and get it.”
Bear turns slowly to go through the door and Faith remains frozen. As soon as Bear is out of sight Faith runs out the door and straight to her best friend Coti. Everyone thinks Coti is a boy because of her name but she is the most gorgeous girl Faith has ever seen. Long curly red hair, ice blue eyes, perfectly sun kissed skin, and could seriously be a model. She is the daughter of Deeds and his Ol’ Lady Fay. Deeds is Puerto Rican and Fay is Irish which explains the tan skin AND red hair.
“Coti!” Faith stammers out in a breathless voice. “You are not going to believe this!”
Coti gives her friend a confused look, “That you walked out of your house in a pajama set? Or that you have no shoes on? Both of which I would completely believe to be true as I am staring at those facts currently.”
“Shit…” Faith grabs Coti by the arm and races back into the house, careful not to run into Bear again. Once she gets them to her room and shuts the door she leans against it to catch her breath. “I…ran…into…Bear. Like literally into him, brick wall, boom.” Faith stares at her friend waiting for a response.
“No way…what did he say?” Coti asks. She isn’t boy crazy like she use to be but I think that is because she’s dating Rugger…he is the news patch holder. They’ve been together since we were 15. His parents chose drugs over him so Coti’s parents pretty much took him in. Now he’s Red Rebel.
“Well other than the hand on my arm and hip, the apology, and the awkward moment…he said he was looking for beer.” Faith was still shocked. Pulling a red sundress out of her closet and her favorite pair of sneakers, she rushed around to get out of the pajamas. She too had curly hair so she really didn’t need to do anything to style it, usually she just tied part of it with a red ribbon and went on her way.
“That’s crazy. You have 22 days until you’re 18…do you think he will try anything?” Coti asks.
“I doubt it…me and dad got into it again over the movies. If I can’t go to the movies then why would he ever let me date. It is going to seriously take me leaving here to be able to live my life.” Faith states in between doing her mascara, eye liner, and lips.
“Oh come on…we thought my dad was going to be like that too. Look at me and Rugger, mom and dad love him.” Coti draws out.
“Well I guess now is when we will find out. My party is in 22 days, we will see if anyone has the balls to approach me.” Faith says in an over exaggerated way.
Faith and Coti lock arms and walk out of her bedroom, down the hall, and out the kitchen door. Faith’s house wasn’t your typical house. It was the largest house on the compound, which was made up of the clubhouse, a private gym, houses for the high ranking patch holders, multiple apartment building for the non-high ranks, prospects, and bike bunnies, then there was a daycare, garage for Red Rebel members only, and a big community area. Thankfully Faith and Coti’s houses shared a backyard. Since they were born exactly 22 days apart that is how Rigid and Deeds wanted it. This way when we wanted to hangout they could always see us.
Today’s party was to celebrate Coti turning 18. So far she has gotten a new car, her dream car at that…Camero, a Tiffany’s necklace, and a diamond ring. The car was from the whole club…it’s tradition for the club to purchase the club kids a car when they turn 18. Necklace was from her parents…but the ring. Oh boy…did we all see that coming or what!? Rugger grew some balls, asked Coti’s dad for her hand, got down on one knee, and asked her to be his Ol’ Lady. She said yes and while he was placing the ring on her finger the Ol’ Ladies of the club surrounded them and slid her new kutt onto her arms. Black, soft leather, with her name on the front right breast, “Ol’ Lady” on the left, and on the back was a huge Red Rebel patch with “Property of Rugger” along the top and bottom. It looked amazing on her!
“Faith, can you come here kiddo?” Rigid says with a pat on his back by Deeds.
“Now Rigid,” Fay says, “You know she is going to lose her shit if you keep calling her kiddo. She’s almost 18!.”
Just as Rigid is about to respond Faith prances right over to them.
“Yes, dad…you called.” Faith sighed.
Rigid pinches the bridge of his nose between his fingers, “Yeah, ki…I did.” He spits out, rethinking the whole “kiddo” comment. “You know Bear,” Rigid tips his head towards the brick wall Faith ran into not long ago.
“Yeah…I know everyone in this club daddy…what is the point?”
Daddy? Oh for fucks sake…when she pulls the daddy card that means she wants something. This girl is going to be my death.
“He is going to be following you around for a while…with your birthday coming up I don’t want anything to happen, so I’ve put him on as your bodyguard.” Rigid winces waiting on Faith to protest. Peeking out from one eye…
“Oh…okay. Well if that is what you want daddy. You trust him then I do too.” Faith smiles sweetly and looks up at Rigid with her big mint green eyes.
“Okay…what are you planning? What do you want, Faith Lynn?” Rigid points his finger at her as if she’s a little toddler who just did something wrong.
“MOVIES. I want to go see a stupid movie next weekend with my school friends. I graduate in two months dad, I have never gotten to go off with my school friends. And before you mention it, NO Coti doesn’t technically count. She is literally a few yards from our house and we never leave the compound without you or Uncle Deeds.” Faith pushed out a deep breath she didn’t realize she was holding in.
“Okay. But Bear goes with you and you come straight home after.” Rigid says quickly before changing his mind.
“See…you NEVER let me….” Faith stops and blinks… “Did you say okay?”
“Yes.” Rigid smiles.
“THANK YOU DADDY! Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Faith squeals as she starts hugging her dad. She plants a huge kiss on his scratchy cheek making a mental note to tell him to shave…it makes him look old when he doesn’t. Faith runs off to Coti telling her what just happened.
Chapter 2: Movies and a Bear
“Home straight after Faith Lynn” Rigid hollers down the hall where Faith is getting ready in her room. He glances over at Bear, who simply nods.
“Yes daddy!’ Faith returns. Pulling on a pair of ripped jeans, brown boots, and a t-shirt that says “Red Rebel MC” Across the front. She ties her hair in a red ribbon, grabs her bag, and runs down the hall. “Let's go Bear…I don't want to be late!” She glances over as Bear stands and sees him dressed outside of his normal. Black and gray plaid button up, dark jeans, brown boots, and his kutt. Normally he's in a tank, jeans, and kutt.
“I think you’re missing something kiddo.” Rigid questions as Faith turns to give him a hug.
“Thank you daddy!” Faith runs out the door.
Faith stops short in the driveway when she doesn’t see Bear’s bike. His was her favorite. It’s a custom Harley Fat Boy, matte black coats the entire thing, all the mechanical parts are shiny chrome, and the only colors on it are the red and silver line work that turns into the Red Rebel MC logo on the tank. The seats are dark red leather and the under lights are bright red.
“Uh…Bear,” Faith turns slowly, “where is your bike?”
“I figured we would take my truck instead.” Bear clicks the key fob in his hand and Faith’s attention turns to the 2023, Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country. Matte Black with red line work matching his bike. Interior has custom red leather too.
“Well…okay then hotshot. Let’s go!” Faith motions for Bear to lead the way.
Opening the door for Faith and holding a hand out, “Let me help you, it has a lift kit and you are much shorter than I am.”
“Well,” Faith draws, “we can’t all be jolly green giants now can we?” She says with a giggle as Bear helps her into the truck.
BEAR
Twenty minutes later Bear is pulling up to the movies. Thankfully they have a little restaurant attached to it because Bear’s stomach starts to make some massive noises.
“We are planning to eat before the movie…do you want to sit with us?” Faith asked shyly.
“Uh…yeah, I guess so. As long as it doesn’t cause you to lose cool points.” Bear lets out a laugh. Faith just gives him this “shut up and come on” look so he exits the truck and speeds over to her side to get her door. Holding out his hand, Faith hesitantly accepts and he helps her down. Faith sees her friends out of the corner of her eye and grabs Bear’s hand to lead the way.
Immediately Bear tenses up. Three females, all the same age as Faith…no problem, four males…all close to Faith’s age, three of them hugged up to the other girls. The one without a date makes Bear uneasy.
“Faith, this may be less awkward if I know your friends names?” Bear asks, crossing his fingers that she doesn’t catch onto why he’s asking.
“Bri and Ty, Tia and Geno, Kacie and Cory, and the one alone is Dee. He always insists on being a part of our group at school. I’m not really sure why.” Faith explains.
“Does Dee have a last name darlin’?” Bear questions.
Faith pauses to think, “It’s Petrov. Dee is what we all call him but his real name is Demetri.”
“Ah okay…he looked like a guy I knew from school. Maybe he has a brother.” Bear shrugged.
Faith continues to her friends and mingles while we wait to be seated. I stay close but not too close. I want to hear their conversation without making anyone piss their pants. Compared to these boys, I have about 180 or more pounds on them, way more muscle, and a foot plus height. I tower over them.
“Bear…earth to Bear!” Faith shouts.
Snapping my head up, I see that we are being seated. I follow along, sending off a quick text to Tek.
Bear: Demetri Petrov; look the name up and get back to me. I will explain later. It’s for Faith’s safety.
Tek: 10/4, tell Rigid or play it out first?
Bear: Playing it out. Dude is a kid…just looks familiar.
Tek: 10/4
Everyone sits down and Faith pats the seat next to her. Dee is on the other side giving me this weird look. Everyone orders and our food comes out quickly. Faith gives me this shocked look when I inhale my burger and fries.
“What? I like burgers. Plus I want to get a milkshake.” Bear looks at Faiths plate, “Are you going to eat before it gets cold darlin’?”
Faith shakes her head, “no, I’m not as hungry as I thought I was. You’re welcome to it.”
“We could get a box?” Bear nods his head towards the waiter approaching. Faith simply nods yes.
As they stand up from the table Bear feels his phone buzz in his pocket.
Tek: Emil Petrov’s kid. He’s the one who caused Rigid to do that 6 month stint when Faith was a baby. DO NOT LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT. We don’t know if it is coincidence or intentional.
Bear: 10/4 DO NOT tell Rigid. If he shows up, Faith won’t forgive him.
Tek: 10/4
“Everything okay?” Faith nods at the phone in Bear’s hand.
“Yeah darlin”, club shit.” Bear forces a smile. One of the bad things from being a club kid is that a lot of times you do not know the drama or bad that happened. When Rigid and Deeds became parents a lot changed at the MC. We make our money in more legit ways. We still do protection runs, weed sales, small shit. But nothing like the wars they were into when I was a lowly prospect. I will have to bring this up to Rigid when we get back…but right now Faith needs this moment. The movie lasts about two hours and by the end I feel like I’m 60 and I’ve been stuck in a chair for ages. I watch Faith as she gets up and Dee eyes her. I fight back anger as his eyes linger in places they shouldn’t on her. Hell I’ve had to fight a lot back tonight. I thought I was hiding it from the club pretty good…but Rigid putting me on security duty for Faith blew that out of the water. He knew I was into her before he asked me. That’s why he asked me.
“I know you like her. But I also know that you are one of the few that haven’t tried anything with her or even come to me asking to date her. I respect that. It shows that you respect me but even more so you respect her. I am trusting you Bear, make sure it is the perfect moment. Take care of her. One day I won’t be here and she will need someone to take over the role of protector.” Rigid nods.
“Yes sir, I will. I’m not going to give you a long answer of how…but I will show you. Just one question.” Bear waited as Rigid shook his head, “How did you know?”
“Bear…when you found this MC you had just opened your tattoo shop. I told you that you were way too smart for this MC. You always just laughed when I said that. You are about as humble as they come. The look you got in your eyes the day she turned 16, it wasn’t a look of hunger, or want. It was a look of devotion. The same look I gave her mama all those years ago.”
Bear stood there letting those words sink in, only snapping out of it when he heard Faith.
“Come on Bear. Don’t tell me we need to pry you out of that chair big guy!” Faith laughed.
“Nah darlin’, just lost in thought. I’m coming. Right behind you.” Bear smiled.
“I need to visit the ladies room before we leave. I’ll just be a minute.” Faith patted his shoulder and turned.
“Milkshake to go?” Bear yelled…Faith gave a thumbs up. He went over to the restaurant and ordered two mocha milkshakes, then went back to the bathroom area to wait on Faith.
“GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!”
Bear runs straight for the ladies room, he didn’t even have to look to know that was Faith’s voice.
“I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS IF YOU TOUCH ME AGAIN!”
“MOTHER FUCKER GET OFF ME!”
As Bear busted through the door the sight had his blood boiling. Faith had blood on her lip and her cheek was already turning color. Rigid was going to kill Bear. Bear draws his gun and points it to the side of Dee’s head.
“Let her go or I will put a bullet through your skull.” Bear grits out.
Dee releases this demonic laugh but tightens his grip in Faith as he turns to face me.
“You think I am scared of you? Of your shitty little club?” letting out a gut wrenching laugh, “Please…I am Emil Petrov’s son, next in line to take over since my brother died at the hands of your club.” Panic engulfs Faith’s face as she searches Bear’s eye for answers.
“Demetri Petrov, you do not want to start this fucking war. Let her go now!” Bear demands. Faith must have used her emergency bracelet because no sooner than Bear says that, Tek and two prospects run into the bathroom.
“I stopped the alert before it went out to anyone else. I always get them first since I set up the program. We only have about 30 mins before everyone questions why I left with two prospects.” Tek explains.
“What is this, you can not fight alone? You are a pussy just like your president. He couldn’t fight alone either. That’s why he ended up in lock up. But I am sure you know that story.” Demetri hisses. He lets Faith go with a shove, “I will find you again, and I will end you bitch. Do you understand me?” turning without an answer Demetri runs out of the opposite side of the bathroom. Faith hurries into Bear’s arms, tears flowing down her face.
“Get me out of here…then someone is going to be explaining what the fuck he was talking about. How does this kid know anything about my dad?” Faith breathes out.
I pick her up and cradle her to my chest.
“Tek, we need to call church. I will call Rigid, he should hear what happened from me. I want you in the front making way for us. Prospects, both of you behind me. Clear?” Bear shouts as we are running to his truck. Tek and the prospects all nod and off we go.
Chapter 3: Church
Rigid: Bear, what’s up? Everything okay?
Bear: No, Petrov’s kid was one of the ones out tonight. He tried to take Faith. She has some bruising and a busted lip from him but that’s it. I got to her as quickly as I could.
Rigid: GET HER HERE NOW, CHURCH AS SOON AS YOU GET IN THE BUILDING. Bring her to church too, it’s time she hears some things from me.
Bear: Yes sir, we are 20 mins out.
Bear hangs out the phone and lifts the center console so that the front seats become a bench. He grabs Faith by the waist and pulls her towards him. She nuzzles into his side and stays there for the entire ride.
When they pull in at the clubhouse, she doesn’t try to open the door or move to get out. She just waits for him. He lifts her up and carries her out, across the parking lot, into the clubhouse, and straight for church. One of the bike bunnies, Leah, who is always trying to get me to fuck her, walks up and snaps.
“Women aren’t allowed in church princess.”
Faith moves against me, “PUT. ME. DOWN.!” Faith grits out through clenched teeth. So I set her down gently, keeping my hands on her hips.
“And the trash goes into the fucking dumpster. So, why are you still standing here, cunt? Now fuck all the way off bitch.” Faith snaps back holding her ground. Leah tries to buck up but Rigid, who was standing behind her the entire time, grabs her arm.
“You will not step foot back into this club house for 2 weeks. You do not talk to my daughter or any Ol’ Ladies that way. Learn that before you come back or I will put you out for good.” Rigid snaps as he moves her away. He opens the door for church and follows Faith into the room.
Rigid stops Bear by placing a hand on his chest, in a low voice whispers, “You did good son. I don’t expect you to follow her into the shitter. You heard her and went to her. You’re a good man Cooper.”
Cooper? Hearing Rigid call him by anything other than his road name causes Bear to breathe a little better. If only Rigid knew how much Faith twisted up his insides. The day he joined the MC was the first time he saw her. Faith and Rigid came out of his office arguing about something and Bear ran slam into a wall because he was focused on Faith and not where he was going.
Round Table
Bear walks into church and Rigid waves him over to the sergeant at arms seat. Venom, the current SAA, was standing against the wall, signaling that he was ready to hand over his position. Over the last couple of months Crater, Depay, and now Bear, had been tasked with keeping up with Faith. A test to see who would be best to protect the whole club…by protecting the prez’s daughter.
Bear takes the seat as he tips his head to Venom. Venom grips Bear’s shoulder as a sign of respect. Faith walks over to Bear and just plops down into his lap. Not knowing if this was okay, Bear looks to Rigid who nods with a smile. Bear wraps his arms around Faith and adjusts her so that she won’t fall.
TAP TAP TAP goes the gavel in Rigid’s hand.
Rigid: Okay, at this point I feel like you should all know why we are here. Now, we are not like most MC’s out there…we allow the women of the club in church when the situation surrounds or involves them. Faith, sweetie you are fixing to hear some things that you haven’t heard before now. I want to go ahead and apologize for keeping this from you but I hope you understand that it was all to protect you.
Faith nods her head. One of the prospects walks over and hands her an ice pack. “For your eye Miss Faith. It will help the bruise and swelling.” Faith puts off a small smile as a thank you.
Rigid: Bear, give everyone a run down on what happened.
Bear: As soon as we approached Faith’s school friends I had an uneasy feeling. The one she called “Dee” looked strangely familiar. Niko Petrov was his older brother.
Grunts and groans were heard from every seat at the table. Niko Petrov was unfortunately a well known name there.
Bear: I immediately texted Tek to dig into the name Faith gave me. “Demetri Petrov”, Tek confirmed that Dee is Niko’s little brother and Emil’s son. Next in line to take over. Dinner and the movie went fine, other than the weird looks Dee kept giving me. After the movie finished Faith excused herself to the restroom. I heard her yelling and immediately ran into the bathroom after her. Everyone knows what happened after this and you can see the aftermath of the altercation.
Rigid gives a nod, folds his hands and leans against the table.
Rigid: Faith, after you were born, before we ever left the hospital, your mother told me that she wanted nothing to with raising a child. I left that night to come home and grab a quick shower. Before I could return, Tek called saying there was someone at the club door for me. It was your mother. The hospital had released her and you early. Before I could get to the door she placed you on the steps and took off. Your mother’s name was Dasha Romonoff. She now goes by Dasha Petrov. Niko and Demetri are also her children. Emil claimed Niko, however Niko was born before your mother ever came here or returned to Russia. However this does make Niko and Demetri your half brothers.
Faith sucks in a shaky breath, wincing as she breathes out, making a mental note to have the Doc, the club doctor, check out her ribs after this.
Faith: I kinda know most of this already. Well, I knew mom’s name before Petrov. I also knew about Niko. It is a little hard not to suspect something when we have extremely familiar features.
Rigid looks at Faith with apologetic eyes.
Rigid: Faith, when you were 9 months old, Petrov and your mother came looking for you. Not because she wanted to raise and love you. They came looking for you because I refused to be the pipeline for Petrov’s trafficking through the US. They wanted to hurt you because they knew it would hurt me. By this point Niko was already 15 and had been trained to kill.
Deeds: Your dad, myself, Tek, and Fay, took you and Coti on a trip to the mountains, trying to protect and keep you safe. After laying you and Coti down the third night we were there, Rigid stepped out to smoke. Fay was inside with you girls so myself and Tek stepped out with your dad. While smoking we heard what sounded like branches snapping followed by screaming. Immediately your dad and I ran into the house and up the stairs. We found Fay holding you and Coti in a corner with a gun pointed at you. It was Niko. Your mother thought we would second guess killing him because he was young.
Tek: As soon as Niko saw your dad and Deeds he ran. Your dad and I chased after him. Deeds and Fay loaded you girls up and immediately got yall the fuck out there. We chased Niko to a little camping area that we thought was empty. Little did we know that your mom had set it up so that the cops were almost to that spot when we got there.
Rigid: Niko got a shot off on me. Hit me in the shoulder. Tek fired, shooting Niko in the head. We heard sirens and I took Tek’s gun giving him mine and told him to get the fuck out of here. That night I was arrested and charged with Niko’s murder. I spent 6 months in the pin. Then my lawyers found evidence that it wasn’t “my gun” that killed Niko. Someone else was in the woods that night and shot Niko. After taking that to the judge they had to release me. This is why I have been so set on you not going anywhere without a patched member. You were way too little to remember those events and I did not want it to catch up to you and anything like this happen.
Faith let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding in. Slowly standing up, Bear’s hands on her hips to keep her steady. Faith turns and walks over to Rigid, who tenses up waiting for a well deserved slap to the face. Faith leans down and hugs her dad.
Faith: Thank you. For finally telling me the truth. I am sorry for ever getting mad at you not letting me find mom. In fact, I’m glad you wouldn’t, if I had known this…I would have put a bullet in her head for almost taking my dad from me.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Rigid: This better be important, we're in the middle of church!
The door opens and Dallas steps in, Rigid’s body language automatically changes…almost like he’s trying not to show that he’s nervous.
Dallas: I am so sorry Rigid, normally I wouldn’t dare interrupt church…but I think you need to see this. She turns a tablet screen to him and clicks play as the higher ranking member and Bear gather around to look.
**Hello Rigid, I am sure you remember me. Just as I know your whore of a daughter remembers my touch on her skin not long ago. See, I know you are to blame for killing my brother. Mother told as much. She also told me how little Miss Faith is the reason you refused my father’s deal for being our pipeline. Well…now that I am 18, I will be taking over. Which means that I do things differently. I am coming for Faith and I am coming for you, Rigid. I will serve revenge, but I promise, I will not kill your princess. No, I have much bigger plans for her. Maybe in a display case so that anyone I chose can come and watch the things me and my men will do to her. Goodbye Rigid.**
The screen goes blank. Dallas looks to Rigid with terror in her eyes.
Rigid: Lock it down. Get every club member here, including the bike bunnies. I want shifts going for lookout, I want someone at the gate at all times. Bear, you do not leave Faith’s side for anything. Yall will both go to the bathroom if one of you needs to piss, shit, shower, puke, I don’t care. Deeds, get Coti and Rugger back to your house. I know they have an apartment off the compound but it isn’t safe right now.
SLAM
Rigid hits the gavel on the table and everyone starts running out of the room to do what they’ve been told.
Rigid: DALLAS!
Dallas turns back towards the door.
Dallas: Yes Rigid?
Rigid: Pack your shit, you are coming to stay with me.
Dallas tears up, plasters a smile on, “Yes sir. I will be back in 10 minutes.”
Chapter 4: Setting a New Pace
22 days after Faith was attacked, nothing has happened but Rigid is keeping the club on lock-down as a safety precaution.
Faith: Bear, you are not sleeping on the fucking floor anymore.
Bear: Faith, I’m fine darlin’.
Faith: I’m going to talk to dad. I really do not think that he will have any issue with us sharing my king size bed.
Bear: You aren’t my Ol’ Lady Faith. He is going to have a huge issue with it.
Faith: DAD! DAD! DAD!
Rigid and Dallas come running down the hall and into Faith’s room.
Rigid: What? What is it Faith? Are you okay?
Faith: Yes, I’m fine. Bear, on the other hand, is fixing to get his ass kicked.
Bear: I didn’t do shit darlin’. I simply said that I will be fine on the floor sleeping and that Rigid would not want me sharing a bed with his daughter. So out of respect for you and him…I will buy an air mattress and sleep on the floor.
Rigid lets out a bellowing laugh, Dallas and Faith staring at him confused.
Rigid: Bear…have you told her yet?
Bear: No sir, I didn’t feel like it was the right time. She’s had a lot going on.
Faith: Tell me what?
Rigid: I think now may be a good time son.
Faith: TELL. ME. WHAT?
Bear: Sir, all due respect, I think it should wait until after the situation we are in has been resolved.
Faith: If someone doesn’t tell me what is going on in the next 30 seconds, I will start beating the shit out of both of you ding-dongs.
Bear and Rigid laugh, Faith could likely take them as they would be too busy laughing.
Rigid: Bear…tell the woman.
Bear: Faith Lynn Mendez, I have had my eyes on you since the day I walked into this MC. Out of respect for you and your dad I have always withheld from acting on that. You, darlin’, drive me crazy and wild. But in the best way. I would be honored if you would be my Ol’ Lady.
Bear crouches down and picks up something out of his duffel. Standing back up, Bear holds out a “Property Of” kutt and Faith stares in amazement. Looking to her father for some sign, she holds a little hope that this is a joke.
Rigid: You both have my blessing. I know he will treat you right and protect you just as I would.
Faith: Cooper “Bear” Garcia, as long as you stop being stubborn and hard-headed, start acting like I’m your Ol’ Lady and sleep in this damn bed with me…then yes. I would love to be your Ol’ Lady.
Bear: Can we please buy a different bed set? I am not sleeping under a fuzzy purple creature of a damn blanket.
Faith: Ugh, fine. But I do not want black or red. Understood?
Bear: LAUGHING Yes, darlin’.
Dallas and Rigid turn to exit the room.
Faith: Dad….
Rigid: Yes sweetie?
Faith: Don’t you think it’s time for you to man up and claim someone officially…with a kutt.
Faith hears Rigid shuffling in the hall closet followed by a squeal from Dallas.
Rigid: PULLING DALLAS BEHIND HIM
“Yes, princess, you are right. I had planned on doing it this next weekend. But now is as good a time as any.”
Dallas turns around showing off her “Property of” kutt. Dallas wasn’t like the rest of the “biker bunnies”. She had never been a dumpster for anyone in the club. My dad saved her from getting her ass beat by some dick head at the strip club she used to work at. He brought her here and got her checked out by doc. She was more like a mother hen, did all the cooking and most of the cleaning, she planned the events and ordered everything needed for them, and when dad went on poker runs, charity rides, etc. Dallas was always on the back of his bike. They have been doing that dance since I was 5. I even slipped up and called her mom a few times when I was little and she would always just smile at me.
Faith: About fucking time you claimed her dad. She’s been a mom to me for years now. Plus, yall are not quiet at all when you sneak her in at night. She doesn’t give any other club guys attention at all, and you don’t really think I didn’t notice the food you cooked getting better and becoming more than just burgers and steak. FAITH TURNS TO DALLAS, GRABBING HER HANDS - I am glad to finally have you as an official part of the family…mom.
Dallas beamed with happiness. “Thank you sweetheart. Now I’ve got food to prepare for the cook out tonight and a cake to make!”
Dallas runs off to the kitchen, with Rigid trailing behind her. Faith giggles at her dad and his puppy love behavior.
Faith turns to Bear, hands on her hips. “So…how hard has it been to keep your hands to yourself?”
Bear walks over, smiles a sinister smile, and grabs Faith’s hips pulling her close to him. He leans down putting his lips to her ear and whispers, “Darlin’ the day you ran into me in the kitchen, it took everything I had not to take you right there on the counter!”
Faith runs her hands up Bear’s chest with a shiver running down her spine. She turns her head slightly so that she can see his face, wrapping her arms around his neck; she pulls him closer as she takes his lips into a deep, breathtaking, tongue dance of a kiss. Bear runs his hands down to her round, plump ass, grabbing and lifting her up; he reaches back and flips the lock on the door. Faith nuzzles into his neck letting out a little giggle. Bear walks them over to the bed where he lays Faith down, eyeing her entire body he starts removing her clothes. T-shirt…gone. Unzipping her shorts, Bear slides them down and off of her tan legs.
Bear: Nothing underneath huh?
Faith: Less laundry…? FAITH SHRUGS
Bear shakes his head. He leans Faith up, slides her property kutt on, and starts to unfasten his belt.
Faith: Oh no, that is my job.
Faith pulls off Bear’s belt, unbuttons his jeans, and in one swift motion slides his jeans and boxers down allowing his long, thick cock to bounce free. Faith’s eyes grow wide in excitement.
Bear: Shit, I don’t have any condoms on me…I’m clean…I haven’t been with anyone since I joined the MC.
Faith: I’m on birth control Bear…it’s okay.
Bear opens Faith’s legs and sucks in a deep breath.
Faith: Bear, um…I think I need to tell you something!?
Bear: If you’re fixing to be ashamed then don’t, I am looking at a pussy that was made for me.
Faith: No, that’s not it.
Bear: Well what is it? Do you want to stop?
Faith: No, I’m a…I’m….
Bear: Faith, you’re worrying me…
Faith reaches above her head, grabbing a pillow; she buries her face.
Faith: I’m a virgin. (She says quietly)
Bear: What?
Faith: I’m a virgin Bear.
Bear: Oh baby, don’t worry about that. We can take it slow.
Faith uncovers her head, nods and smiles.
Bear: Ready?
Faith: Yes, I am.
Bear slides his hands up Faith’s arms, pinning them to the bed. Faith’s breasts raise up and down, chills spreading over her body. Bear uses his knee to open Faith’s legs again, admiring her wet, glistening heat. Licking his lips he starts kissing down her collarbone, across her beautiful luscious breast, over her nipples, down her stomach, and kisses right above her sweet heat. Faith’s breath shutters in anticipation. Bear begins to circle her clit with his thumb, then inserting one finger.
Bear: Oh my god baby, the way you’re clenching around my finger…
Faith cuts him off in a moan…
Faith: Do. Not. Stop. Bear, that feels amazing!
Bear runs his tongue across Faith’s folds, as he licks circles around her clit Faith bucks her hips into him. Bear slides his finger out adding a second one this time. He feels Faith’s body start to shake.
Bear: Yes baby, good girl, ride out that orgasm.
Bear fucks her heat faster with his fingers, feeling her clinch around him, her body shaking as she moans his name. Just as her body begins to calm, Bear readies his cock at her entrance.
Bear: You ready baby?
Faith: If you don’t fuck me right now I am going to lose my shit.
Bear pushes his cock into Faith’s pussy, allowing some time for her to adjust to his size. Faith moans and bucks her hips wanting more. Bear thrusts deeper into Faith’s heat. Faith bucks against him wanting more.
Bear: Oh, does my little pixie want to ride? Do you need more?
Faith: Yes…YES!
Bear grabs Faith around the waist and in one swift motion rolls onto his back settling her on his cock.
Bear: Ride me Pixie, ride your fucking cock.
Faith grabs the metal bars on her headboard, grinding Bear’s cock. Bear lifts his hips meeting her thrusts each time. Bear starts to feel his balls tighten then Faith’s body begins to shake.
Bear: Yes baby, I’m fixing to blow. Cum with me…cum with me Pixie.
Faith: Yes, yes, harder…
Bear begins to circle her clit with his thumb as she continues to ride his cock. Faith leans back using her fingers to pinch her sensitive nipples, her pussy clamps onto Bear’s cock.
Bear flips her onto her back without his cock ever leaving her pussy. Bear picks up his pace, thrusting faster and harder. Faith lets out a moan, her body starts convulsing, Bear feels his release edging closer, one…two…three thrusts and he spills his hot cum into her tight pussy. Faith falls back into the bed and Bear leans forward into her, kissing her neck, cheek, and lips.
Faith: Oh my god. That was amazing.
Bear: Baby, your pussy was made for me.
KNOCK, KNOCK
Rigid: Uh…umm..I don’t mean to bother or interrupt…but Dallas said yall have 20 mins until everyone starts showing up…and she wants the birthday girl to see her cake!
Faith: Oh okay…thanks!
Bear and Faith bust out into a fit of laughter. Bear gets up and walks over to the bathroom, he grabs a towel and comes back. Bear leans down and begins to clean Faith up.
Faith: Bear I can do that.
Bear: Nah baby, this is called aftercare. It’s letting me take care of you.
Faith smiles. After Bear finishes cleaning Faith up, she jumps and runs to the shower. After she finishes, Faith walks over to her closet with her towel wrapped around her. Picking through her closet she finds a dark purple, lace sundress and her black vans. She grabs them and puts them on. As she turns around, Bear is already dressed and holding out her property kutt. Faith grabs it and slides it on.
Bear: Ready babe? It’s not everyday that you turn 18!
Faith: And get claimed the same day, and lose your virginity.
Bear: Yeah…maybe don’t announce that last one…at least not around your dad.
Faith laughs, unlocks the door and pulls Bear out behind her. Once they make it to the kitchen Dallas is standing there looking at a cake on the table.
Faith: It’s perfect!
Dallas turns.
Dallas: You like it? I wanted to make sure I captured your love for pixies and the color purple!
Faith: You nailed it!
The sound of motorcycles filled the air. Faith and Dallas walked out to the patio as Bear lifted the cake and took it to the table outside. Faith spots her best friend Coti and runs straight to her showing off her kutt. Faith and Coti squeal in excitement. More and more bikers show up, some from the out of town chapters.
Dozer: Happy birthday squirt!
Faith turns around and runs into Dozer’s arms.
Faith: Uncle Dozer! You made it!
Dozer: I promised you I would! Where’s your dad?
Faith turns and points to the chair Rigid is sitting in with Dallas on his lap.
Dozer: He claimed her finally? About fucking time.
Faith: That’s what I told him. By the way, this is Bear. Bear, this is my Uncle Dozer.
Bear reaches his hand out and Dozer shakes it.
Dozer: Take care of her…Rigid isn’t the only fucker you will answer to.
Bear: Yes sir, I will.
Dozer turns and walks over to Rigid, congratulating him and Dallas. Bear wraps his arms around Faith, nuzzling his nose into her neck. Faith and Bear make their rounds through the groups of people, talking, showing off the property kutt, and laughing with their friends and family.
Rigid: Everyone…I think it’s time to let the birthday girl open her gifts! Then we can eat and enjoy the amazing cake!
Faith and Bear walk over to Rigid and sit down. Gift after gift, Faith thanks everyone, she gets to a small box and opens it. There’s a key fob inside. She clicks it and a brand new Chevy Tahoe. Dark purple with blacked out tint. Faith jumps up and down, then runs straight to it. She opens the door, eying the black cloth interior. Out of the corner of her eye she sees that a crowd has gathered. She turns slowly, seeing Bear down on one knee.
Bear: Faith, I know that I just claimed you, but I do not want anyone else wearing my property kutt. You are everything I could have ever asked for! Will you please make me the happiest biker ever and be my wife?
Faith begins to tear up as she hears Bear tell her the words she never thought she would hear.
Faith: YES! Yes Bear, I will marry you!
Bear puts the ring on Faith’s finger and grabs her up into a tight hug.
Chapter 5: Wedding Bells and Pacifiers
A year has passed by and the Petrov’s still haven’t made any moves. We’ve stayed on a soft lock-down; meaning only the higher up, patched members, kids, and ol’ ladies are locked down. Coti and her husband have welcomed a beautiful baby boy and Faith is preparing to walk down the aisle.
Dallas: Faith, honey calm down. Everything is going to be fine.
Faith: Coti should be here. She’s not but she should be.
Dallas: I know sweetie, and if she could then I know she would. But, I did go by the hospital this morning and took her fresh clothes. Her and the baby boy are fine! Doctor said they may get to come home next week.
Faith: Oh that is awesome news! I just know how rough her pregnancy was and how shocked we all were by her labor starting at 33 weeks. Little man was only 3.5 pounds!
Dallas: I know, but they are going to be just fine…now let’s get you married.
KNOCK KNOCK
Rigid: It’s me…time to walk down the aisle.
Dallas: We’re coming dear.
Faith hugs Dallas one last time, then turns to her dad.
Faith: Daddy, I love you. You’ve done an amazing job raising me. Thank you for giving me everything you have!
Rigid: Of course kiddo. Now, let’s get you married. My new son-in-law is waiting.
Faith takes a deep breath as the club doors open to a beautifully decorated courtyard. Chairs lined up on each side of an aisle lined with dark purple and deep red flowers. As she takes the first few steps she looks up. Bear is standing at the end of the aisle, dark jeans, boots, deep red button up shirt, and his club kutt. Faith sucks in a deep breath.
Faith stands in front of her Uncle Dozer, he agreed to marry them since he was in town for Coti’s baby being born, and stares at her soon to be husband. They both exchange heartfelt vows and rings. Walking down the aisle as Mr. and Mrs. Garcia, everyone around them cheers and hollers. Bear leads the way to his bike, gets on and then helps Faith behind him.
Next thing Faith knows they are pulling up to a beautiful barndominium on the back side of the compound. Bear cuts off the bike and Faith gasps.
Bear: Happy wedding day my Pixie.
Faith: This is ours? When did you have time to do this?
Bear: Well this is why your Uncle Dozer kept coming back into town and this is also why me and your dad kept leaving out after dinner for “club business”.
Faith: I love this! Thank you so much baby!
Bear: I had some prospects grab our belongings this morning and bring them up. So how about we get changed for the reception?
Faith: Okay baby! Lead the way!
Bear grabs Faith’s hand and leads her into the house. Going up the staircase to the biggest bedroom, Bear leads Faith in.
Bear: How much do you like your wedding dress babe?
Faith: There is a zipper that goes all the way down to the middle of the skirted area.
Bear: Fuck yeah.
Bear reaches around Faith and unzips her dress, holding her hand as she steps out of it. Bear admires the sexy, deep red, lace bra and panties she has on. Like true Faith fashion…she has on black vans. Bear lifts Faith up and backs her up to a wall. Faith reaches down and unbuttons his pants while Bear pushes them down.
Faith: I stopped taking my birth control baby.
Bear: Good. I want to keep you pregnant with my babies. I want to fill you full of my seed and watch your belly grow round.
Faith: Fuck me Cooper.
Bear: Say that again.
Faith: FUCK. ME. COOPER.
Bear: Yes ma’am.
Bear slides Faith down onto his thick cock, bracing her against the wall. Faith pops open the front of her bra, springing her breasts free. They fall into a rhythmic motion, riding out orgasm after orgasm. Bear brings Faith away from the wall and turns towards their bed. Walking over, Faith still sitting on his cock, Bear sits down on the bed. He reaches up above her head and pulls down wrist restraints. Bear slides the restraints down over Faith’s wrists, tightening them loosely.
Bear: Use those to help ride my cock baby.
Faith uses the restraints to her advantage to ride, grind, and thrust on her man's thick, hard, length. Bear reaches up and pulls a pin, allowing Faith’s arms to lower, Bear lays her down on her back placing her legs over his shoulders. Thrusting deep into her heat, Bear immediately feels his balls tighten and tingle, Faith’s body shaking around him letting him know she is ready to bust. With another thrust and Faith moaning his name, Bear spills his hot seed into her, falling over her in the heat of the orgasm.
Faith: Can we do that again?
Bear: Every single day for the rest of our lives babe.
Bear and Faith hear the roaring of engines and rowdy crowds echoing from the community area of the compound.
Bear: I think we should attend our reception darlin’.
Faith: Yeah…we don’t want them to come looking for us.
