Prologue
Stone – Eighteen Years Old
“I swear to fuck, I walked past the science lab and this fucker,” Trigger jabs his thumb my way, “Had Marie, bent over the table, skirt up, ass on show as he fucked her from behind and she was squealing so fucking loud, half the hall paused just to get a look and all he did was grin.”
I grin wide, like a proud peacock, the only guy in this school that has managed to get Marie naked. The brothers around us laugh their asses off while Ashley, the beauty with blonde hair and bright green eyes and such a pure soul, gags and puts her head in her husband’s shoulder and yes I said husband at fucking eighteen.
Trigger tightens his hold on his wife and looks down at her with adoration as he mumbles, “Sorry, pixie.”
I smile slightly at them as Trigger gently cups her small baby bump, and she grips his cut.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I know he married her out of obligation. But as he stated several times in the past four months, since finding out he got her pregnant, he was going to marry her any way, it’s just sooner than he thought.
Trigger and Ashley met in 5th grade after she moved into town and declared she was his instantly and that he was going to marry her. He latched onto her before anyone else could and ensured he was all she could see, much to her parents' dismay.
They aren’t exactly too fond of the club and when he handed her a ‘property patch’, her parents refused to let her see him, not wanting club life for their daughter, something Ashley didn’t listen to. He had gotten his brother’s cut at the beginning of the year which pissed them off further and then they had found out she was pregnant. It doesn’t even matter if they did it legally, a property patch is a leather cut that brothers give women they see as their forever making them their old lady. Which in the eyes of the club means you’re married.
They kicked her out when she refused to get an abortion. Trigger admitted he wanted her to get one too, believing they were too young to have a child right now. In the end, his parents took her in, and they got married.
He hasn’t said how he really feels to her face, only to us brothers, letting his fears out. He doesn’t want to upset her further. Her family has abandoned her, she’s pregnant at eighteen and now can’t go college. Trigger needs to get his business and art degree ready to start up Rebel’s Arts, the tattoo shop the club is gifting him once he graduates high school, so that makes it impossible for her to school as well. At least for a few years.
She got married in jeans and a flannel shirt, no dad walking her down the aisle, and a groom who looked ready to bolt which thankfully she didn’t notice.
He loves her, he does, but he wasn’t ready for her. It’s the whole right girl, wrong time shit.
We’re brothers, not by blood but through the brotherhood, the Rebels MC, and growing up, our fathers have ingrained in us that one day we will find our one and not want to let her go, no matter where we are in our lives. I don’t believe in that shit, I never have, I mean, my mama cheated on my dad just before my little sister Selena was conceived. He had to get a DNA test done just to confirm her paternity. If Mama felt the same way as my dad did, she wouldn’t have strayed just because he was busy with club business. She felt unnoticed, and even though they are still together, I don’t believe in it. As for Trigger, who, as you guessed, gets a little heavy-handed with the Trigger on a pistol, hence his road name.
Ashley is his everything. He does have a wandering eye despite looking at his wife like she’s his world, and I don’t know why, but a big part of me believes he’s going to stray. I have told him, but he just denies it, claims he doesn’t need any other pussy, but we’ll see.
Once he gets that officer patch, he may change his mind with the amount of attention he’s going to get, worse than how it is now, since we patched into the club a year ago.
Trigger after college will be taking over from his father, Scar, as the sergeant at arms within the club. While I’ll be taking over from my father, Butch, and will become my best friend Doc’s vice president when he becomes president. He is taking over from his dad after he’s halfway through college which he started earlier this year being a year older than us. Along with Dirty our future treasurer while his blood brother Ace will be oursecretary, and Anchor our future road captain who only got his road name last year after he graduated high school.
The brothers were trying to figure out what to give him, nothing really suiting him until the fucking idiot took a summer job on a fishing boat and he accidentally dropped the anchor while the boat was at full speed.
The captain lost control of the vessel, the chain snapped causing them to lose the anchor something that cost thousands to replace and the boat nearly capsized.
Safe to say the idiot didn’t keep his job.
“I take it you got a good eye full, Ash?” Tank, the future enforcer, asks with a sly grin, his dark gray eyes sparkling with silent laughter. Which is a lot more than what we normally get out of him.
For as long as I can remember, he’s more the silent type.
Ashley gives him the middle finger without moving her head, and we all laugh at her antics.
“Did you know you’re the talk of the school, Stone?” Ace says as he saunters over to us, running a hand through his dark black hair, looking stressed, making me frown.
“You’re a little bit late to the conversation,” Trigger chuckles, not removing his hold on Ashley.
Fuck, I really hope he doesn’t hurt her. I mean, I love the man, he’s my brother, my family, but that girl has given up her whole life,herfamily, for him.
“I don’t mean him banging Marie, the school's virgin, in science lab. I mean fucking Elsie going around telling everyone that he knocked her up,” he says seriously with a tick to his jaw.
I freeze as everyone looks his way, mouths open, and Ashley gasps, turning out of Trigger's hold in shock.
“We gloved up,” I mutter, not believing it, “And I haven’t fucked her in two months.”
Ace winces while Ashley mutters, “I did warn you she may try something like this. She saw how quickly Tyler married me after the stick said positive and tried her hardest to get with at least one of you, even before the others graduated.”
