“Maze, is that you?”
I turn my head too see my ex-girlfriend step towards us with two friends.
“Taryn,” I acknowledge. I see her eyes bounce between Zarah and me and I pull my woman tighter.
“Oh, wow you look good. How have you been? Maybe we could catch up like old times.” She say, biting her bottom lip. I shake my head at her.
“I’m good, better than ever. I have my woman at my side and our daughter sleeping peacefully enjoying our first Christmas together.”
“Woman and baby? Since when Maze does, dirty biker settle down?”
“Since he saw what was in front of him, not run along little girl and leave the real woman to handle a dirty biker;mydirty biker.” Zarah says rom my side.
“Whatever.” Taryn mutters.
“Cracking come there.” Zarah mutters and kisses my cheek but fuck me if she thinks that is all she is giving me after she just threw down like that for me.
My hand meets her jaw and I drag her face to mine and take her lips in a heated kiss that really shouldn’t be seen in public but fuck if I care. My tongue plays with hers, dancing for dominance but Zarah doesn’t give up so easily. She drops her hands from my arm and cups me through my jeans which my cock is very much appreciating.
“This is mine.” She says against my lips and I nod because her kisses have rendered me speechless. She smirks, gives my dick one last squeeze before turning to talk to Sabrina.
Fuck my life, she is going to challenge me through the rest of my ears and fuck me I am ready and waiting for it.
Chapter twelve
Zarah
Today is Christmas Day and the clubhouse is buzzing. Not only did Ana, me, and the other Old Ladies, deliver breakfast to the hospital this morning, but we have also made a full Christmas dinner for them too.
Everything is keeping warm while we all open presents and enjoy a few hours to ourselves before Maze and I have to dress up and be merry for a few hours. I am sitting on the couch with Maze next to me, his arm around my shoulders, and Faith is resting on my lap, dozing like today is any other day. She is too young to notice today, or even remember it.
The club kids are causing chaos with their new gifts, wrapping paper covers nearly every surface in the room, but seeing their smiles and hearing their excited squeals is well worth the clean up later.
A finger traces my jaw and pulls so I am facing him. His eyes are full of love and desire as he licks his lips and moves closerkissing with so much feelings that I choke up. I blink back the tears and he smiles his panty-melting smile as they say before he speaks.
“I love you, Zarah Dawkins. I think deep down I always have just never saw what was directly in front of me. I used to hate seeing you out with other guys, and I know that isn’t an excuse for my sexual behaviour either, so I just want to put it out there that I am sorry that I wasted so much precious time, not claiming you back then. Having Faith has showed me that life can end so damned quickly and I don’t want to waste anymore. Be my Old Lady. Be Mine”
Tears fall down my face and I just nod, as words escape me for the first time, in well forever. I am usually the one that as a lot to say but he has taken my brain and mushed it with lovely dovey words. Damn the dirty biker.
Moving my free hand to his face and cupping his stubbled jaw, I lean in and gently kiss his lips. That one kiss replies everything that I feel for him and I know he felt it too, because he sighs and smiles.
“I love you too, Ash Maisley. A family was all I have ever wanted, and you and the club gave that to Ana and me years ago, but I always felt something was missing. Then I saw you in a different light and it made my heart swoon.
“And you knickers wet, right?” he wiggles his eyebrows at me, and I giggle. Startling Faith. “It’s okay, Angel, mummy is being loud, but daddy said something funny.”
“Mummy?” I whisper.
“Yeah, ‘mummy.’ You are as much her parent as I am, baby. She is ours. We just need to correct your last name to match ours,” he winks at me and my heart goes ape shit in my chest.
The love for this man is nothing I have ever felt before and I know for sure that no other man will ever follow in his footsteps, not that I want them too.
He is mine and I am his. Faith is ours, and we are complete and full of love and joy.
~~**~~
I am standing next to Maze who is currently dressed as Santa Clause, and making the children laugh and smile as he hands out gifts. The way he is with them makes me fall even more in love with him. I think if I didn’t love him, after today I think I would have.
Ash Maisley is an amazing man and I am so lucky that he is mine.
