Pearl's Awakening (Devil's Iron MC #3) (13 page)

Waking up alone in the morning is something that I am not used to. As I stretch out I let out a moan as a cramp takes over my calf. Within seconds Markus is on the bed and rubbing my exposed leg. This has been happening more and more and he is quick to come to my rescue. Leaning over to him I run my hand over his hair as he brings his eyes up to me.

“Good Morning, Sweetling. The girls are up and watching TV in the living room. I was just making coffee and starting to make breakfast. Would you like for me to bring up breakfast to you, or were you going to get out of bed and make your way downstairs?”

“What time is it? You make it sound like I have been asleep all day.” Stroking a hand over his beard I lean in and taste the coffee still on his lips. As I lean back I lick my lips and am rewarded with a groan from my Master.

“Pet, I don’t think we have time for this, but if you keep up that little flirty fucking shit, you will get the hard quick fuck you deserve.” Pulling on my hair so that I cannot stop from looking into his green eyes which are ablaze with lust, I can’t help myself from egging him on a bit more.

I close the distance between our mouths and lick at his lips until he opens and takes over the kiss. Pushing me back on the bed he grabs the blankets and throws them back with one hand while grabbing my wrists together and forcing them above my head. “Keep them there, and please do be quiet so the girls don’t head up here to interrupt us.” Releasing my hands, he lets his cock free from his pants while climbing over me onto the bed.

“Pet, you better be ready for me with all this fucking teasing you are doing. Spread them wide and show me my pussy.”Fisting his cock with one hand he runs a finger from his free hand through the lips of my pussy, finding it wet and ready for him. Sticking that finger into my pussy he pops it out and leans over rubbing it around on my lips before teasing me and forcing it into my mouth.

Adjusting my hips slightly he slams his cock into me with little than that for warning. As he starts fucking me he sets a fast pace and I am quickly brought to the edge of an orgasm.

“Master, please may I come? You feel so good fucking me, I don’t think I can stop it. Please Master, may I come on your cock?”

“No, this is for me you little tease. I will cum and you will be left wanting.” Is all that I hear before I feel him pinching my nipples hard, which halts the orgasm dead in its tracks. Only then do I feel his seed being shot deep into me and feel the loss for not being able to join him.

Markus gets up and walks into the bathroom grabbing a towel before he comes back to clean me up. “Up you go Pearl, let’s get downstairs to have breakfast before Tank gets over here to tell me what the fuck is going on with Ember.”

“Ok, Markus” I start to get up but stop short and look towards him, “Markus?”

“Yes Pearl, what is it?”

“I am just wondering what, no how, I should act around Abraham? I know that we discussed being together, but don’t want to presume that is the case.”

“You may act however you would like, as long as it is becoming of our woman, Pearl. He will probably expect affection from you,as I do,and depending on your comfort level around the girls, that is up to you. I have not thought about how we are going to broach the subject with the girls, but I know that we will have to tell them something, because they will definitely be seeing you show affection to both of us soon enough.”

“Ok, Markus. I will get ready quick and be down in a few. I can make breakfast when I get down there if you would like?”

Pulling on his pants he walks over and plants a heated kiss on me before turning and walking towards the door. As the door is swinging open he stops and I hear “Yes Pearl, you can make us breakfast, but hurry up, I hear Tank’s bike outside and I am sure we will get tied up in our discussion of Ember.”

Throwing on one of his Devil’s Iron shirts I grab a pair of yoga pants out of one of the drawers and slip them on. Stopping quickly in the bathroom on my way I make quick work of brushing my teeth and also run the brush through my hair before heading downstairs.

Stopping at the living room, I give the girls both a kiss and ask what they would like for breakfast. Knowing that each will want something different, I am not even sure why I ask. Iris says that she would like chocolate chip pancakes and Rose wants eggs and sausage, I should have known.

Continuing on to the kitchen I walk in to see the two men who own me. As Abraham’s eyes meet mine he walks over and pulls me in tight for a kiss. A squeal leaves me when he lifts me off the ground slightly as he deepens the kiss.

“Good Morning, Pearl. Sorry that I couldn’t come and end the night with you, but I had to try to get the security footage from the incident with Ember worked on and also had to get an early start talking with her.”

“Tell her what you just told me Abraham. I wonder if she might be aware of any of the history that passed between Ember and Doc.”

“What, they have a history? How would I know anything about- Wait, is Ember the one who Doc would talk about when we were spending so much time together? He never mentioned a name only talking to me about a woman who left him broken and he never saw the need to try again. Are you saying it was fucking Ember that he was talking about?”

“Pet, watch it.”

“Sorry. Abraham, am I right? Is that what you were going to tell me? That her and Doc have a history?”

“Yes, Pearl. In fact, they have a child together that Doc only just found out about this morning. Vincent is close to five years old and is the spitting image of his father.”

“Oh shit, I have to call him. He has got to be so distressed over this. He won’t know how to handle this shit, I can’t believe that he has a kid and that she kept it from him.”

“No, you will not call him, not now at least, after the way he acted to you last night. Markus and I need to make sure that he understands that he is not allowed to talk to our woman that way, ever,” Abraham gets out as he releases his arms from around my body.

“Abraham, he is probably really worried and I don’t care about last night he was just…”

“Pearl,” Markus warns.

“Ok, fine. I will just start breakfast. I already have orders for chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, and sausage. Do either of you want anything else?”

“No, that should be fine, we will be in the office when breakfast is ready, please come and get us? Yes?” Markus says as the men walk out of the room and head straight for the office, closing the door behind them.

Running upstairs I grab my cell off of the night stand and shoot off a quick text to Doc, letting him know that I am here if and when he is ready to talk. We had many a conversation about the woman who left him and I would have never guessed that it was someone like Ember. Doc is such a big brute of a close to forty-year-old man. From all the gossip he is a complete and total hard ass, unfeeling, unfriendly type of guy overall. Ember seems to be close to the exact opposite. She is a little wisp of a girl, so agreeable and quiet, and can’t be more than twenty-four or twenty-five at the most.

Knowing that if either Markus or Abraham find out about that text that I would be in deep shit I quickly go back and delete the text from my phone so that it is no longer in the history and start the breakfast that was promised.

Finishing up the pancakes, eggs, and sausage, I first call the girls into the kitchen. As they are getting situated around the kitchen island, I walk down the hall to the office. Pausing outside of the door, I gradually reach up and before I can knock the door is opened from the other side. Markus looks at me through hooded eyes.

“Breakfast is ready; the girls are in their chairs. Will you guys be joining us? Or are you still busy talking?”

“No, we will come have breakfast with you.” As I turn to walk back to the kitchen, Markus’ hand shoots out and grabs my arm stopping me quickly. “Pet, is there something that you would like to tell us?”

Pulling me into the office and shutting the door his voice gets louder as he goes on, “Something that we distinctly told you not to do and you felt the need to go ahead and do it anyway?”

Fuck, how did they find out so quickly about the text that I sent to Doc? It was not even thirty minutes ago.

“Markus, I just…”

“Not Markus, when I am this angry with you, Pet. We told you not to reach out to him and you didn’t even wait an hour before you did so. Why can’t you just do as we say for once in your fucking life?”

“Wait, how do you know about the fucking message? I thought that you said you didn’t have a tracker on my phone anymore Markus.” Taking a step back from him the scowl on my face grows, “that shit is beyond fucked up. We have talked about how you need to stop invading my privacy and this is not the way to do it.”

“Don’t start with me, Pet. I don’t have anything on your phone, although now I am thinking about it again. I am, however, betting that if I would check it, you would have tried to cover up your message by deleting it or some shit, which is fucking disrespectful to say the least.”Stepping back towards me as Abraham approaches on the other side, Markus goes on. “We just talked with Doc on the phone and he wanted us to let you know that he is sorry for his behavior last night and that he will be reaching out to you soon to return your message.”

“Little One, why would you go against us on this? We are only trying to look out for your best interests. If we ask you not to reach out or contact someone, there is probably a good reason for it. You cannot take your safety or that of our baby so lightly.”

Looking from one to the other, I am only able to get out, “Sorry Sir, sorry Master,” before my eyes hit the floor as tears start dripping down my cheeks. “I just wanted to try and help.”

Raising my head slightly I add, “I know that you guys won’t tell me what’s going on and I just…”

Abraham cuts me off abruptly, “You didn’t even wait for us to talk with you, Pearl. We are still trying to get a handle on the severity of the situation. We don’t know what the fuck is going on ourselves, so we sure as fuck can’t start explaining it to you.”

“When will you stop questioning our decisions at every turn, Pet? This is a real threat and you don’t seem to be taking it seriously. Ember’s ex, the one who scared the shit out of her last night, just so happens to be the President of the Knights MC. This shit is about to get nasty. You need to listen to us, and for fuck’s sake, could you please just do what we say? We need to make sure that we have eyes on you at all times and that Clutch doesn’t try to pull any shit with you as retaliation.”

Dropping her eyes to the floor she slowly raises her head and looks right into me, “Sorry. I didn’t know that the situation was as dire as you make it out to be.”

“Little One, we are just trying to keep our family safe, as well as the brothers and those that are family through them. Ember is not part of this club, but because you took a liking to her and now we find out that she and Doc have history, we will do whatever is in our power to protect her.”

“Why did she leave him those years back? Doc was really affected by that. I know that you guys don’t talk about stuff like that, but when he was up in Milwaukee we shared lots of dinners and conversations together. He was really and truly hurt by her and he really had no idea why.” Turning to Abraham she goes on, “Did you find out why she left him like she did? Did it have something to do with the baby?”

“Momma, momma where are you?” Comes from the hallway before we get the chance to answer her.

Grabbing her hand, I answer Iris “Honey we are in here, we will be out in one second to eat breakfast. Go wash up with your sister and meet us in the kitchen, Yes?”

“Ok Markus, is Abraham joining us for breakfast, too?”

“Yes, honey he is,” Pearl answers as I squeeze her hand in mine.

“We will answer these questions when the girls go to bed for their nap, Sweetling. You will also be getting a round of discipline for your disobedience.” With a sharp slap to her ass, “get a move on and feed your family.”

Turning towards the door, Abraham quickly catches up to us as we head to the kitchen. Pearl has set the table and the girls are already sitting waiting for their food.

In sync the girls shout out, “Good Morning Markus and Abraham and Mommy. Were hungry, let’s eat.”

Finishing breakfast a short while later, Pearl decides to take the girls and Hilda out into the backyard to play for the rest of the morning. Abraham and I need to continue the discussion of what is going on with Clutch, Ember, and Doc, so we head back into the office, but not before I call Country and have him bring over Ember and her son at Pearl’s request.

She is shaping up to be quite the old lady. I am not sure if she wanted Ember to come over as a comfort to her or just because she wanted to grill her about her relationship with Doc. That woman is really something, to say the least. I warned her that she needs to tread lightly and not dig too deep, giving her only a hint that Ember did not willingly leave Doc, no matter what he told her or what he thinks.

As we are in the office, I hear the girls in the back yard scream and I glance over to see Ember and a boy that is the spitting image of Doc walk up. As Abraham and I continue to discuss the ideas that we have about the situation with Clutch, I decide to hold Church this evening to get the brothers up to speed.

Pearl will be heading home to Milwaukee with the girls this afternoon. Abraham and I both wonder if it might be a good time for Ember to have a vacation and head up to Milwaukee with Pearl for the week. It would get her out of immediate danger and also give her someone to lean on, if needed. We decide that we will take turns watching over them in Milwaukee and that both Bull and Country will be on duty as well.

Not knowing what Ember will think about being sent up to Milwaukee for the week, I glance out the window again. That’s when I hear a bike pull up in front of the house. Rushing out of the office I grab my 9mm on the way,telling Abraham to head to the back yard as I go straight for the front door. Reaching the front door, I swing it open and am face to face with Doc. Lowering my weapon, I ask, “what the fuck are you doing here Doc, I thought I told you that we are meeting for Church tonight.Why are you here at my home?”

“I know she is here Prez, let me fucking talk to her about what the fuck is going on. She fucking kept my kid from me and that shit stops now. I need to know where she has been and what the fuck excuse she has for leaving the way that she did.”

“Doc, you need to calm down. This is not the way to approach the situation. She is in the back yard with Pearl. The kids are playing together, so you will not be going back there all fucking jacked up ready to rip her apart. Calm yourself the fuck down.”

“Prez, she fucking kept my kid from me. How the fuck would you feel if that was Pearl, Huh? That stupid bitch would be…”

Walking towards us from around the outside of the house Tank cuts in, “Doc, watch your fucking mouth when you talk about our woman. If you will remember, Pearl didn’t exactly reach out to me with the truth as it was going on. There are circumstances that were out of her hands. You need to keep it together and hear her out, the whole explanation; don’t just pick the parts that you feel are important.”

“Fine, I want to talk to her, I will be calm and not jump to fucking conclusions.”

Talking to Doc, Abraham says “Let me go back and see if she wants to talk with you, why don’t you sit down in the living room, I will bring her in there. Keep it down though, because the kids are right outside and will be able to hear any and everything that is said if you two get heated.”

Walking around to the back yard, Abraham disappears around the house. Looking towards Doc I have to say something. “I have already heard the story Doc, and if you don’t understand why she did what she did when you do, then you are more of a heartless bastard than everyone thought you were.” Grabbing his shoulder, I go on,“Pearl has told us how you would talk about her, even when she didn’t realize who you were talking about. Tread lightly with Ember Doc, or you will scare her away and she might not come back again no matter what is going on.”
