Ace: The Brimstone Kings MC (25 page)

She talked about how Alison was like when she was little, that she had bucked teeth. I start to try to picture Alison with bucked teeth. I chuckle; I can’t seem to picture her like that.

Alison has definitely gotten her looks from her mother, who is equally appealing. They have same brown hair and same eyes. It’s kind of eerie, they look so much alike.

Her father, well now that’s a whole other story. He looked like he was ready to kill me, especially when he found out she’s pregnant. Shivering as I remember the look he gave me.

I’m not scared of much, but holy shit that man is not someone I would want to fuck with. He’s at least six foot four and a good two hundred eighty pounds. He’s one scary fucker.

He seemed to warm up after his wife Donna started to scold him about how he was behaving towards me. He didn’t want to piss her off I guess, so he was civil to me after that. I chuckle thinking of how much Donna reminds me of Alison, same fiery personality.

I remember when he pulled me aside.  He wanted to know what my intentions were for his daughter, especially now considering she’s pregnant with my baby. I told him the truth that I would be there for her, and the baby. That I love her, and I would never leave her. He seemed to be satisfied with my answer; he warmed up a bit more to me after that. Thank fuck.

I get ready for work. I notice there’s a text from Alison saying we can get together today, excitement fills me. I’m going to see her beautiful face. Kiss her sweet lips; it’s been way too long since I’ve tasted them. My dick gets rock hard just from thinking about her lips.
Fuck!
No woman has ever gotten me this turned on without at least doing something to me first.

Grabbing my keys, I head out of the door. As I walk up to my bike, I grab my helmet that’s sitting on my bike and I put it on, revving my bike. I take off out of the parking lot, heading towards the bike repair shop we own. As I pull up I see Viper, Judge and Blaze working in the garage.

I thought for sure Viper would be at the hospital, Tammy’s getting discharged later today. I walk up to Viper, giving him a slap on the shoulder. “Tammy’s going home today, why are you here?” I ask as I look at the sweet ride he’s working on.

“I’m going to be leaving soon. I got to get most of this bike done, so Judge can take over after.” He reaches down grabbing a wrench from the box.

“Sounds good, I’m going to be checking in with pops, I’m going to tell him about the baby, and then I’m going over to Alison’s.” I walk around the bike checking out the work Viper has done. I know his mind is everywhere right now, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting his work.

Lucky bastard! If I was working while Alison was in the hospital and she just got out of a coma. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on anything but her.

Today is supposed to be my day off. Seeing as I’m here and Pop’s isn’t here yet. I decide to help around the shop before I head over to see Alison. I’ve been working for an hour when Pop’s strolls in, heading towards his office like he does every day. Well, I guess it’s time to break the news that he’s going to be a grandpa.

I walk over to the office door, taking a deep breath. I knock on the door. I hear my father grunt. “Come in,” Opening the door, I step inside, I see my father standing at his desk looking at receipts.

“Hey Pop’s. I have something to tell you.” I announce. I watch his head tilt up to look at me.

“Okay… What is it that you want to tell me?” He sighs as he sits down in his chair. He continues to look at the bills scattered all over the desk.

“Please tell me Alison and her sister, are okay. I haven’t heard anything much on that,” He looks at me for confirmation.

“No, Alison and Tammy are doing fine dad. I just want to let you know that Alison is….” I’m Just about to tell him. Then Gale walks through the door with a box of pizza, my father grins.

“Well darling, isn’t this one hell of a nice surprise. You brought lunch,” Gale places the box of pizza on my father’s desk.

“I didn’t want my man to go hungry now.” She gracefully walks around the desk, placing a quick kiss on my father’s lips. He pulls her in to his lap. She giggles as he kisses her neck. It’s like watching two teenagers sometimes, I swear.

“Hey Ace, how are you doing?  How’s Alison doing?” Her face etched with concern. She knows about the accident. I know she’s worried about Alison and Tammy. Gale loves Alison and Tammy.

“I’m fine. Alison and Tammy are good. Tammy gets to go home today. I’m going to meet up with Alison after at their apartment.” I sit down in the chair facing my father’s desk.

Gale sighs in relief then smiles at me. “I’m glad they are both okay.”

“Well before you came in. I was just about to tell Pop’s something…” I say as I take a deep breath. It’s going to feel so real, letting my father and Gale know they are going to be grandparents.

“Alison and I are working things out. We’re going to take things slow… As you know Porsche tried to cause some shit between us, but it didn’t work….And I just found out Alison and I are expecting a baby,” I look at my father and Gale, it takes a moment to sink in.

I hear a scream come from Gale as she jumps up off my father’s lap. She’s jumping up and down squealing. She runs around the desk and bulldozes me over as she hugs me.

“Oh my God, I’m going to be a grandma.” She shouts out excitedly, her eyes fill with unleashed tears and she smiles.

I chuckle at her reaction. I guess it’s safe to say she’s excited about Alison being pregnant. My father hasn’t said a word yet. It’s starting to worry me.

Usually, he always has something to say. I look at my father, I can tell he’s in a state of shock. His eyes widen and his mouth is drops open as he stares at me.

He shakes his head. “I’m going to be a grandfather?” He asks with so much emotion in his voice that it starts to crack as he says ‘grandfather’. I nod my head with a smile on my face.

“Yup old man, you’re going to be a grandpa,” Gale jumps on Pop’s giggling.

“Abraham. We’re going to be grandparents.” She exclaims as she hugs him. Hearing her call my father by his first name still gets some getting used too. She is the only one to ever call him Abraham. 

“Alison and Tammy’s parents are in town for a few weeks. I was thinking maybe it’s time for you two to meet her parents,” I hope they are fine with it meeting them; with Alison being pregnant both sets of grandparents need to get along.

Gale starts squealing as she nods her head. “Of course sweetheart, I would love to meet her parents, she’s such a sweet girl.”

My father stands up from his chair, with a grin on his face. He comes around his desk towards me and pulls me in for a hug, slapping my back. “I’m so happy for you son. There is nothing better than being a parent. As for meeting Alison’s parents, just let us know when and we’ll be there.”

I chuckle, because I’ve never seen my father with this soft before. Usually he’s a real hardass, so seeing this soft side of him. It’s a whole new experience.

“Sure Pop, I’ll get you guys a time and date as soon as I figure out with Alison. Find out when it would be a good time for her parents,” Gale and my father give me a family hug, as we all laugh. They’re really happy about Alison’s pregnancy.

I look at the time on the clock above the door. “Shit, I got to get going. I told Alison that I would be there around one thirty,”

“Well you shouldn’t keep your little lady waiting son, you better get going. There’s one thing you’re going to find out pretty quick.” His face straight as he stares at me.

“Don’t piss off a pregnant woman. They are worse than anything I have ever seen, and believe me when I tell you… You know I’ve seen a lot of shit, but a pregnant woman who is pissed takes the cake. You understand what I’m saying?” He says with a smirk on his face, fucker is trying to scare me.

“Yeah I get what you’re saying, Pop’s. Thanks for the tips,” I chuckle as I head out of the office. Waving to my father and Gale, I make my way towards my bike.

I just arrived at Alison’s. I’m standing in front of her apartment door. I knock and I wait for her answer. I can’t wait to see her. God it's torture not being with her. Yeah, I know makes me sound like a pussy but fuck if I care. What is taking her so long to answer the door? I knock again; I wait patiently for her to open the door.

Alison answers a few minutes later. She’s standing there in cut off shorts and a t-shirt. God damn, she’s fucking sexy without even trying.

I notice she’s acting a little nervous, shifting from foot to foot, as she looks down at the floor. She doesn’t meet my eyes as I lift her chin up to look at her.

As I drag my thumb across her right cheek. She winces and pulls away from my touch.
What the fuck!

“Alison. What the hell happened to your cheek?” I look at her right cheek. I see that she tried to cover it up with makeup, but you can still see there’s bruising on her cheek. I’m waiting for her to tell me but she stays quiet.
What the hell?

“Alison. What happened?” I ask more calmly, hoping she will tell me about what the fuck happened. She’s backing away from me, and it kills me that she feels like she needs to get away from me. Jesus I would never hurt her.

She walks toward the living room and I follow her. She stands in front of the couch. She bites her lip as she stares at down.

“Ummm…If I tell you…Please just listen to me and don’t speak till I’m finished, okay?” She lifts her head and looks at me with a worried look.

“Did someone hurt you, Peaches?” I walk towards her, keeping my hands down at my sides.

“Yesterday when I got home from the hospital…I heard a knock at the front door. I thought it was you or Blaze stopping by to check on me. As I open the door…It was Mark…” I start to pace back and forth. That mother fucker did this to her, he hit her.

I’m shaking with rage as I wonder what else happened. “That mother fucker. What did he do Alison?” She stares at me, slightly shaking her head.

“I told you to let me speak till I’m finished, Ace.” She says softly. I nod my head for her to continue.

“I told him to leave, but he wasn’t having it. He stuck his foot in the door, so I couldn’t shut the door. I asked him multiple times to leave and he wouldn’t. He forced his way into the apartment.” Her voice breaks a bit as she stops to take a breather. She wipes the tear that has fallen out of the corner of her eye. She looks up at me and I freeze, wondering what happened. I close my eyes, praying it’s not what I think.

“After he forced his way into the apartment, I mentioned that were still together and he flipped out. He was bitching about Porsche not doing her job like she was supposed to. And then he grabbed me…” She stops as she tries hard not cry. Her eyes are full of tears just waiting to fall.

“He took me to my room, and he tried to….He tried to…Rape me,” When she says rape my mind goes berserk. My fists are bunched up so tight. That the circulation in my hands is cutting off, making them numb. That mother fucker is dead.

“He didn’t do anything else to hurt you or the baby, did he?” I ask lightly not sure how to ask her this, but fuck I need to know. She’s my everything and the baby. I love him or her already so much. She shakes her head, and I sigh in relief.

I look down at Alison; she takes a seat on the couch. Her face buried in her hands as she cries. I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself before I sit down beside her. I don’t want her to be afraid of me. I’m so angry at that son of a bitch. If I see him I will kill the little prick. What the fuck was he thinking trying to rape my girl? Does he have a death wish? Well that is one wish… I plan on granting.

I sit down on the couch, putting my arm around her and bring her to my side. I hold her close to me as she sobs.

“Shhh…Peaches. It will be okay, I’m here.”

“You don’t have to worry about him ever again coming around you again,” I mention as I place her on my lap, holding her I rock her back and forth as she cries on my shoulder.

I try to comfort her as best as I can. She stiffens as I rub her back slowly; that mother fucker did this to her. All but too soon she pulls away from me, sitting beside me.
