Back at the clubhouse, I head to the treehouse and stand underneath as the hatch is closed. Meaning Meat doesn’t want visitors, or some shit. Who knows with him?

“MEAT?” I shout loudly, because honestly, if he doesn’t want to respond he won’t, but there will be no excuse that I didn’t try. No reply, and after many shout-outs I’m done. The damn treehouse is completed anyway, but I felt it was polite to check he needs nothing else done.

Walking to where my house is being built, I can’t hold back the smile because I’m sure Blake is going to love this place. Large kitchen with a walk-in pantry, utility room, and every other room we’ll need. The foundations are in, and the size of it looks damn impressive.

“Hey, Mav, you okay?”

Turning, I give a chin lift to Hammer who is heading back to the clubhouse from my house build. “Yeah, I thought I’d check how things were going, and if you’d spoken to anyone about Blake’s places.”

“I was given our marching orders on the place she’s selling. Alf’s dealing with all that with the realtor, as you know. But the new people, if the sale goes through okay, want to do the yard themselves.” Hammer rubs the back of his neck before continuing, “Your place, well, Blake’s place where you are both living. I’ve gotten the information about the front yard. It seems she wants it all resin, which is great for us. She wants it in a sandy, goldish color and then she’s going to get pots and have plants around. Seems that is Ed’s idea, and she likes it. I’ll give you the price, but it’s not going to be anywhere near as much as she thinks it’ll be.”

“Oh, that’s good. It’ll be easy to keep nice and if we lease the place, it’ll be parking off the street. My hog will stand nice on resin,” I grin at Hammer, and we make our way back to the clubhouse together. I give him the go-ahead and to get TwoCents to take the money out of the bundle I have in the safe.

“I’ll get the team on the job that does the resin work and it’ll be next week. But you can cross it off your list of things to be done and concentrate on your Ol’ Lady,” Hammer winks before walking into the kitchen and heading into the common room.

Blake is at work this morning, and I’m sure she’ll have a brilliant afternoon as I'm going to get Mia's trike, or someone else’s, for her to learn on. That thought reminds me I best get Mia’s permission first.

I’m looking forward to the evening and hope we have no issues with any asshole trying to cause trouble, whether it be a male or female asshole.

Walking to the playroom, I find the Three Stooges with Mia, along with the twins and Summer. But what the fuck is Ed doing here? “What are you doing here?” I blurt out in my surprise.

“Well, I do know all these ladies. We’ve known each other since, well, forever, and I thought I best come and see where my Blake is going to be hanging out. Where she’ll be living when this house of yours is built.” Ed is giving me a very serious look, and I know he’s testing me for a reaction of a negative kind, but fuck him, I can play his game. We’ve all seen shenanigans with Star’s father and Meat, so we know the signs.

“Oh, that’s cool. I’ll take you and show you where the house is being built. Everyone here will answer any questions you may have, nothing to hide here,” I calmly respond, and ignore the smile that Amelia has plastered on her face. “You’ll have to excuse me a moment, as I need a private word with Mia.”

Mia looks up and seeing my serious look stands from where she’d been sitting on the mat playing with the twins. “Let’s pop into the common room, Mav.”

“Okay, thanks Mia.” I follow her out of the playroom and through to a quiet corner of the common room. I wait for Mia to sit before taking a seat myself.

“Blake told me she is part of the girl gang now, and I wanted to say thanks for doing that, Mia. It shows me you have embraced her as my Ol’ Lady, and welcomed her to the MC.”

“Mav, I am more than happy to welcome any brother's woman into the club, into the girl gang. But, if we ever have a horrid Ol’ Lady, like BS’s ex-wife, then I’ll do everything I can to make her feel unwelcome.” Mia gives the feral smile she has obviously learned from Axel, and she wears it well, I have to admit.

“She was horrid, wasn’t she?” I ask, more than comment.

“Yeah, she truly was,” Mia giggles at the memory and I wince because his ex-wife was rotten to the core, and we could all see it. “So, is that what you wanted to say?”

“Oh, no, I wanted to ask if I could use your trike to teach Blake how to drive. She’s leaning toward a trike instead of a bike, and if I’m honest, I think she’ll love a trike. But I don’t want to go buy her one until I know she’s good with it.”

“Of course you can use my trike. But one scratch on her and you’ll owe me a visit to Hot Hogs.”

“I’ll make sure she doesn’t scratch her up.” If I wasn’t feeling so confident I would cross my fingers for good luck.

Mia stands and runs her hands down her thighs, straightening out her jeans. “The key to her I leave behind the kitchen door. Meat put me a hook up and you’ll see it, as it has a pretty pink and two blue feathers attached.”

“Ah, feathers for the kids?” I ask, giving her a smile.

“Yeah, the boys gave me them and when I had Summer, I picked up a pink one for her.” I give Mia a quick hug and walk away because I’m going to get my woman and get her on this trike.

Once Blake had finished her shift and arrived home, I waited patiently for her to shower and change. Reaching the clubhouse, I park my hog and tell her to keep her helmet on. “Wait here. I’ll be back in a second.” I run to the kitchen, grab the trike key and take it out with me, where I grab Blake’s hand and lead her to Mia’s trike. Which I’d placed near the front of the clubhouse ready.

“This is Mia’s trike, and she’s kindly said you can learn to drive on her. Now, I’ll go over all the controls before you start her up.”That’s exactly what I do, I take Blake through everything. I have her sitting on the trike and have her repeat everything enough times to know she has remembered where and what everything is.

The lesson goes far easier than I expected and I have to admit she is a natural and won’t have any issues. I’m excited about buying her a trike, and having rides out with her behind and wrapped around me, or on her own trike alongside me.

“You’re a natural, and I want you to think about what you’d like your trike to look like. The brothers at Hot Hogs & Cages will do you a respray to make it special and stand out from the crowd.”

“Oh, I’ll think about it for sure. But I’ll not have any money until the house sale is completed, and the profit is deposited into my account.” Blake mutters.
