“I heard what happened last night,” Butch said.
“I fucked up, and this is my punishment from Lash. I don’t suppose you’d get the key from him?” Whizz asked.
“I can’t. I’m on probation, remember? I’ve got to be good otherwise I’m gone.”
“It’s good to have you back, Butch.”
The other man nodded. “It’s good to be back even though I shouldn’t have done what I did. I’ll make amends for the way I affected all of you. I’m pleased you’re going to marry Lacey.”
“When’s the big day for you and Cheryl?” Whizz asked. The couple still needed to make their marriage official. They’d not actually gotten married in the town hall when Gonzalez was killed.
“I don’t know. Soon, I hope.”
Butch left him alone with Killer.
His friend sat down on the chair opposite him, laughing.
“Who would have thought six years ago we were sitting talking about The Lions, and now we’re in The Skulls clubhouse with you chained to a bed, about to get married,” Killer said.
“You’ve got a kid of your own. How’s Kelsey?”
“She’s feeling better, much better. The spa will help her today.”
“I don’t suppose you’ll get me out of here?” Whizz asked.
Killer laughed. “You’ve got no chance. With your little paddy last night, Lacey deserves to see you punished.” Killer suddenly got all serious. “You need her, Whizz.”
“I know.”
“No, she’s been of benefit to getting you back to the way you were. You’re not fixed so don’t think that I believe you are. You’re better when you’re around her. Don’t push her away because you’re scared.”
“I won’t,” Whizz said. “I’m going to marry her.”
In time he was going to get a house, and together he and Lacey were going to adopt. He’d give her the children she couldn’t have. If she wanted to give him a list of all the things she wanted, he’d go out of his way to give her what she needed.
“I’ll see you around.” Killer got to his feet, making his way out of the room.
“Great, the bastards have left me alone.”
He didn’t know how long Lacey was going to be. Lying on the bed doing nothing was bugging him. He didn’t know what else to do other than to sit and think about his woman. He loved her with all of his heart and soul. The very thought of losing her filled him with fear. Last night he’d have let her go, but he would have gone out of his way to get to her again. When it came to her, he couldn’t let her go. They were connected in more ways than he ever thought it was possible. He loved her completely. She was the other half of him.
The door opened, and there stood his woman. She looked beautiful even with the blue hair dye washing out of her hair.
“Lash stopped me on the way here with this key. He told me to use it wisely.” She held the key up for him to see. “Do you know anything about that?”
“It’s a compromise,” Whizz said, showing her his chained hand. “I’m not going anywhere, but this gives you enough time to wake up and calm me down. It’s what you wanted, right?”
She closed the door, moving toward the bed.
Lacey unbound his wrist, smiling. The bruises were painful to see, but Whizz would do everything in his power to be with her.
“I love you, Lacey.”
“I love you, too, Whizz.” She closed the distance between them. “Do you think we can fuck before dinner?”
He dragged her onto the bed. “If you’re good enough we can both get some pleasure.”
Whizz claimed her lips, moaning as she responded to him.
Their life wasn’t perfect, far from it. Neither of them had a bright past. Both of them were broken, shattered by the events in their life, but together, they were whole. There was no one else Whizz needed, and he’d spend the rest of his life basking in his newfound hold on life, and his woman.
Epilogue
Christmas Eve at the Skulls
December 24th
Alex cheered as Whizz and Lacey kissed. The couple had gotten married on Christmas Eve within the club. He needed to get back home to see Sunshine. Butch and Cheryl had also gotten married, but they’d gotten married a couple of weeks before. Alex had given her away even though he didn’t want to, yet he’d done it because Michael asked him to. What a lot of The Skulls didn’t realize was Cheryl’s ability to manipulate any situation. Ned Walker was also in residence for the seasonal event.
Climbing into his car, Alex took his time to make his way home. Before heading over to the clubhouse he’d done the unthinkable and kissed Sunshine. He’d not given her any explanation as to why he did what he did. He just kissed her, claiming her plump, dark lips for his own.
She probably deserved more of an explanation rather than for him to kiss her.
