Page 13 of Rooster's Redemption

Hope.

Hope for the future.

Hope for the past to close.

Hope for love.

I throw on a pair of boxer briefs and pad my way out to the kitchen. I lean against the doorframe, watching Alyssa shake her ass in one of my t-shirts and nothing else. When she bends over to get something out of the oven, I notice she isn’t wearing panties. Fuck my life. She is perfect for me.

I stroll into the kitchen and cup Alyssa’s ass. She lets out a little squeal almost dropping the cinnamon rolls. She turns around, ready to throw down until she realizes it’s me. “Shit, Rooster. You almost gave me a heart attack.” Her cheeks are pink and her breathing is harsh as she sets the food down on the stove.

I pull the earbud out of Alyssa’s ear and set it on the counter before I pick her up. Alyssa wraps her legs around my waist and I set her on the cold granite countertop. “I’ve been thinking of ways to christen this countertop with you.”

“You have, have you?” She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling my head closer to hers.

“In so many ways, Baby Princess.” I nip at her ear and open her legs wider for my body. Once my groin is flush with her heated core, I pull my boxer briefs down and enter her in one swift move. I make love to Alyssa in my kitchen on my counter. Fuck the rest right now. I want her and I need her like I’ve never needed anyone before in my life.

After some persuasion, food and shower sex, Alyssa and I are back on my bike, heading for the Clubhouse. She’s pressed tightly against my back and I think of ways to make her come alive on the beast. We don’t have time right now but someday very soon, I will take her on my bike.

We pull into the Clubhouse and Alyssa’s spine stiffens at the sight of the police cruiser sitting in our driveway. I give her thigh a reassuring pat before she climbs off, not taking her eyes off the car.

I grip her chin and make her look at me, “Hey, it’s ok. They work with the Club. You have nothing to be scared of.”

Kayne, Blayze, Detective Owens and Detective Kendrick come out of the Clubhouse. Kayne shakes each detective’s hands before they get into their police car and drive off. I raise a browquestioning Kayne and he shakes his head, telling me he will fill me in later.

Alyssa and I walk into the Clubhouse hand in hand. Some of the patch bunnies give us a dirty look and I release a deep sigh. The old sayingdon’t shit where you eat,pops into my head and I internally groan. I wrap my arm around Alyssa, pulling her closer to me. Kissing the top of her head, I whisper in her ear, “Ignore the petty bitches. They’re going to do what they can to rattle you. Just know you’re the only one I want.”

Alyssa turns her face toward me with a mischievous gleam in her pretty green eyes. She turns her head to see a few of the clingers glaring daggers at us, listening to our conversation before she turns her gaze back onto me. “You mean to tell me, I shouldn’t tell them how you claimed me last night and again this morning?” Alyssa speaks loud enough for the patch bunnies to hear and then moves her hair to the side, showing the mark I left on her neck. “You didn’t do this with any of them?” She points to the mark on her neck.

I don’t take my gaze off Alyssa as the few patch bunnies stomp off in a heated huff. Alyssa tries to hold back a giggle but fails. “Not even close. If their lips weren’t on my shaft, they didn’t touch me.” I shiver thinking about when one tried to kiss me, then begged for my lips to be on her body and I threw her out of my bed before we went any further. That shit wasn’t happening to me.

Until Alyssa.

Now all I want to do is kiss her everywhere, anywhere, however she will let me.

“Does that mean I’m special?” Alyssa bats her pretty eyes, making me hard against the zipper of my jeans.

I lean down and kiss her on the lips. My tongue enters her mouth when she parts her lips and I dive deep inside her hot, wet cavern. By the time I pull away, we’re both breathingheavily. “Very special, Baby Princess,” I growl against the side of her neck.

“Ok, ok. Break it up in here.” Talon and Tex come bargaining in the living room with their hands over their eyes.

“What the fuck are you doing?” I ask, throwing a pillow at them.

Talon peeks between his fingers and lowers his hands down, then pushes Tex’s down. “We weren’t sure if you had Alyssa bent over the couch with the way the bunnies came huffing and pissy into the commons room.”

“And Prez is ready for you, Rooster.” Tex chimes in. They leave the room like tweedled dee and tweedled dumb. “Don’t be late!”

“I’ll be back as soon as I can. I’m sure your sister is around here somewhere.” I kiss Alyssa again before leaving.

“Wait!” Alyssa shouts. I turn to look at her. “I didn’t tell you something last night.” She pulls the little girl’s photo out of her purse and hands it to me. “Her mom is someone you know.”

I take the picture from her hands and stare at it. “Who?”

“Phoebe.”

My heart drops and I feel like I’m going to be sick. I walk away without saying a word to Alyssa. Questions swirl inside my head that I have no answers to, but now I know Alyssa knows where Phoebe is and so does Adam, I finally have a lead.
