Shadow’s Heart (Devil’s Inferno MC #3)

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Shadow

T alk about a motherfucking life-changing experience. If I knew sex with Wreck was this fantastic, I’d have jumped his bones a long fucking time ago. I can’t even put into words just how out of this world it felt to have him inside me. The way he filled me and hit my spot just right. Fucking magical. I’m pretty sure at some points I saw stars. Maybe fireworks too. Or at least that’s what it felt like at the time. Then there’s the way he cared for me after. Not like I expected anything else. It’s fucking Wreck after all, and that man had always made sure I’m cared for and looked after. Nothing has changed there. I doubt it ever will.

We didn’t do anything else after my bath. Wreck refused to fuck me again, no matter how many times I begged; he was too worried about how sore I was and didn’t want to cause me any unnecessary pain. The way he cares about my wellbeing and the way he always looks out for my best interests makes me love him even more. So instead of spending the night rolling around in the sheets, we spent it cuddled up talking about our future. A future I can’t wait to experience with him.

We talked about literally everything, from whether we wanted kids to marriage. It was a yes on both counts, but not yet. We both want to enjoy the changes in our relationship before we take any more big steps. He’s already moved in with me; that’s enough of a step in the right direction for me. I know when the time is right, one of us will propose, and when we feel ready, we’ll add to our family.

With how late we ended up staying up talking, I left Wreck asleep in bed this morning and made my way downstairs alone. Sitting at the kitchen counter, I take a sip of my second cup of coffee when I hear a knock at the front door. Who the hell could that be? I’m not expecting anyone this morning, and Wreck didn’t mention anyone coming over either. The only way I’m going to find out who’s here is by getting my ass up and answering the door. Sigh. I was rather enjoying just sitting here.

Picking up my cup, I head to the front door as fast as possible before whoever is here knocks again, louder, and wakes up Wreck. Opening the door, I find none other than my brother on the other side, looking like he’s been up and moving for a while. I step back and allow him to enter, closing the door behind us and following him into the kitchen, where he’s already pouring himself a cup of coffee.

“Morning, what are you doing here so early?” I ask as I take my seat at the counter again.

“Well, I wanted to see how yesterday went and was also wondering what was happening with yours and Wreck’s living arrangements. I know you, and there’s no way you’re wanting him to move back to his apartment.”

I chuckle, because he’s right. Sometimes it’s very easy to forget how well my twin actually knows me. Plus, I’ve wanted Wreck to live with me for a long time now and haven’t exactly hidden that from anyone. It’s nice finally getting what I want, with the added bonus of that amazing man upstairs being all mine.

“He’s not moving back to his apartment.” I tell Wrath, and I can’t help the smug smile that takes over my face.

“So what you’re telling me is I need to rally the troops so we can get all his stuff moved over here?” He asks, probably already planning out in his head who to ask and how long it will all take to pack and move all Wreck’s belongings.

Before I can reply, Wreck’s voice enters the conversation. “That would be a massive help; it’s only my clothes and personal shit to pack and move. All the furniture came with the apartment.”

“Well, that makes things easier. Do you care about being there to pack everything, or are you okay with us sorting it and you checking we haven’t missed anything once we’ve done?” Wrath asks.

“Go right ahead; it saves me a massive fucking job. I have nothing to hide, and all the important documents about Dre are already here, so I don’t have to worry about them going missing or anything.”

“Great, I’ll talk to some of the guys and get it all sorted. We can probably have everything here by tonight. You know what the guys are like; once they set their minds to something, it’s done before you have a chance to blink.”

“Thank you, and yeah, we’re all the same. We like helping where we can.”

“No thanks needed, Wreck. I considered you family before; now you’re even more so.”

Wreck nods his head at my brother, clearly not having the words to reply, and Wrath doesn’t try to force him; instead, he turns to me and asks again about yesterday. I spend time going over in detail everything that happened with Megan and can’t help but laugh at some of my brother’s facial expressions as I tell him what happened. It’s not like I didn’t expect these reactions from him; some of the things that happened with Megan yesterday are just downright ludicrous. I think everyone will have similar reactions to Wrath when they find out the details.

By the time I’m finished telling him everything, he’s in full agreement with us that Megan is crazier than any of us ever realized. I can’t believe I never saw the crazy that was hidden just underneath the surface with her. How the hell did she manage to hide it so fucking well? And not only from me, but fucking everyone. Absolutely none of us saw any of this coming with her.

By the time Wrath leaves, we’ve all drank more coffee than is probably healthy, but at least we’re all awake and functioning with the help of our friend caffeine. I have no idea what Wreck’s plans are for today, but I do remember him telling Jake that he wanted today for us, so he’s clearly got something in mind.

“How are you feeling this morning?” Wreck asks as soon as we’re alone, and I’m really fucking happy he did not ask that in front of my brother. I can just imagine the ribbing I’d have gotten from Wrath. I can do without that now and in the future. Thank you very much. There’s just some things my brother doesn’t need to know about, and my sex life with Wreck is certainly up there.

“I’m good, a little sore, but it’s a good sore. I can’t help but remember you inside me and how good it felt every time I feel a little discomfort.”

“That’s good. I was worried you’d be really hurting today, and I hate the thought of you in pain.”

“Well, you have nothing to worry about there.” I say, giving him a smile.

“So, is there anything you want to do today?” He asks as he stands and comes over to give me a kiss.

I hum into the kiss before pulling back and replying, “Anything you want, I just want to be with you. I don’t care what we do.”

“Well later I want you inside me, but before we get to that, I was hoping you’d come to Devil’s Ink with me. I want to check in on everyone, but I also want to show you something, and maybe after we can go for a ride. It’s been hell not being able to drive my bike.”

“That sounds very fucking good to me, and not just because I get to take you later. I know you’ve been itching to check on your baby, and I’d never say no to riding with you.”

“That I have, and riding with you is one of my favorite pastimes.”

We both finish up our coffees before pulling on our riding boots and kuttes, then heading out to our bikes, which are parked out front of the house. A house that is not just mine anymore. It’s ours, and fuck if that doesn’t feel amazing.
