“Maybe you should follow in the steps of the prez and VP,” Tek suggests, returning his attention to his screen.
“An old lady? Fuck no. I’m not built for that shit.”
My old lady’s father is dead, and her mother hasn’t been born yet. You know what that means? She doesn’t and will never exist.
“You know who you sound like right now?” Razor asks.
Sighing, I shake my head as I remember my prez’s pre–old lady days. “Gage.”
“Exactly. He fought that shit so hard, but we all knew he was a goner the moment he met Raven.”
“Yeah, but look at everything they went through.”
“Ask him and I’m pretty sure he’ll tell you it was all worth it,” Tek chimes in without looking up.
“Maybe.”
As Melody, one of the newer Hounds, passes by, I snag her wrist and tug her down onto my lap. She giggles, admonishing me, but at the same time grinding her ass on my dick. I’m about to bury my face between the blonde’s tits when my phone rings, interrupting me.
“Yo, Prez,” I answer, squeezing Melody’s ass as she kisses my neck. “What’s up?”
“A party,” he answers.
“What are we celebrating?”
“Got big news. I’ll be there in a few hours, but get the girls and the prospect on it, yeah?”
“You got it.” I smack Melody’s ass, getting her to slide to the couch while I hop to my feet. I catch her little whine of disappointment but ignore it as I head to the chapel. “Party tonight, boys!” I shout. After grabbing some money from the safe and recording the withdrawal, I make my way back to the bar. Chopper, our ex-president and Gage’s father, walks in with Mikey, his daughter’s four-year-old son.
“Hey, Chopper. Prez says there’s a party tonight.”
“Hear that, little man?” He turns to Mikey. “Looks like you get to help me on the grill today.”
“Burgers! Cool!” He pumps his little fists in the air.
The kid is cute, looks just like his daddy. Too bad Eddie died before his son was born.
Eddie. Another casualty of the lifestyle.
“What’s the occasion?” Chopper asks. “Not that I mind. Gives me an excuse to be on the grill before the weather makes it impossible.”
“No idea. He just told me to get the ball rolling.”
He chuckles. “That’s my son for ya. Let me know if you need anything.”
“Thanks, Chopper.”
I recruit Tyler, our prospect, and two of the Hounds, Trixie and Melody, sending them on a store run. I have no idea what we’re celebrating, but Trixie and the prospect know the drill. We haven’t had a party in a while, and since we’ve turned the DJ area into a showcase, I head back into town to get some equipment. I grab some Bluetooth speakers, then stop by my house to pick up my iPod. These will have to do for now. I’ll talk to Gage about a better setup later.
By the time I have everything connected and music playing low, Tyler and company return, stocking the bar and laying out snacks.
Gage walks in with his VP, Einstein, their old ladies in tow. As much as that life’s not for me, I’m happy for them. Raven and Ellen are gorgeous. More than that, they’re good women and they love their men. I couldn’t ask for better for my brothers.
I watch as Mikey runs to Einstein and the man lifts him into his arms. His mother says something to him that has his eyes going wide.
“Yay!” he shouts, loud enough to catch everyone’s attention. “I’m gonna be a big brother!”
Well shit. First Gage, now Einstein. This place will be crawling with little tykes soon.
