Huh, I stared, shocked.
“Don’t remember any of that.”
“Dude, you took a vicious blow to your head, so I’m not surprised. You’ve got a severe concussion and a small brain bleed. The docs hope it will resolve itself, and there’ll be no need to operate on your thick skull. Other than that, for once, no broken bones, but lots of cuts and bruises and a couple of beautiful boot prints on your back. Have to tell you, brother, every fucking inch of you has been photographed and been logged into evidence,” Calamity said.
“Why did they attack?” I asked. “Did I do something?” Fanatic and Calamity looked uncomfortable. “Oh, because I’m black,” I stated flatly. Fanatic nodded first, followed by Calamity.
“Haynes and Zucker saw you in the bubble suit and came after you. Everything was recorded on Bernard’s security system, so we had the entire conversation. That’s why Howser and the DA are throwing the book at the assholes. Nobody knows what happened to you during that missing hour, but we can guess. As we were all at the station within ten minutes of your kidnapping, the IA is kicking the shit out of Haynes and Zucker because their timeline doesn’t match. Nor does it match the video we’ve got. Howser is pushing for the arrests and charging.” Calamity sat back.
“Yeah, because Howser’s frightened of a lawsuit,” I responded bitterly.
“Not at all. The chief offered to resign over this to Aurora, and she chewed his ass out. Told Howser you might sue the city but not him,” Fanatic said. “Aurora pointed out it was in your favour that Howser remained in place rather than an unknown who may be racist and try to protect those two assholes.”
“Some wedding night we had,” I complained, bitterness raising its nasty head.
“Shit will get better, bro,” Fanatic muttered, but I think he didn’t believe that.
My poor girl. This put a dark spot on our special day. Because it would forever be remembered for the wrong reasons. Fuck me. Would anything ever go right? As if he’d read my thoughts, Fanatic stepped up.
“Enough, brother. Klutz, you got a lot of stuff that’s good. Look at that and not the darkness. If you allow that to swallow you, you’ll lose the man you’ve become. That dude has a shitload of light, love, and laughter in his life. Don’t let the assholes win,” Fanatic said, and I nodded slowly.
“Thank you brother,” I muttered.
“And don’t ever piss Aurora off. Rage turned up, they’d heard what happened. Aurora ripped into them and slapped Drake, Ace and Apache straight across their faces! She sent them home with a flea in their ear,” Calamity grinned.
Despite the hate aimed at me, I had a shitload to be grateful for. Not just the regular crap like being employed and having money and good health. I had guys who split an MC in half because they wouldn’t lose two men they called brothers. A beautiful wife who was kooky and strange but all mine and was adored for her uniqueness. And two men who were closer than my blood brothers. My morals and ethics were set in stone. I was happy with them, honour, respect, loyalty, be the better man. To strive for a beautiful, fulfilling life. No one could take that from me.
If ignorant assholes wanted to live short, blinkered lives, so be it. While bitterness and hatred would swallow them whole, love and laughter would light my way. Determinedly, I swallowed the angry ball inside and allowed happy memories to take fury’s place. There were many, even those including Rage. It wasn’t worth dwelling over because I was truly blessed, which was what mattered. Blessed and loved in ways thousands weren’t. My life was to be cherished. Calamity and Fanatic were both nodding as I let the goodness in and the badness seep away.

Aurora was driving me insane as we drove home in her SUV. She was worrying herself silly over the incident. While I still didn’t remember it, Aurora clearly had fear remaining from me going missing. She was also blaming herself for not seeing what would happen. Quietly, I told her to relax, and Aurora screeched at me, so I shut up and let her continue. She did not like the idea that I’d discharged myself. Yeah, I ached and had a lot of pain, but there wasn’t a reason to take up a hospital bed when someone else could use it.
“Stay in the car,” I said when she parked outside our house.
Aurora lifted an eyebrow, and I marvelled she could do so because I could never manage that. I strolled around the car, opened her door, and reached out. Aurora smiled prettily as she placed her palm on mine, and before she knew it, I’d swept her up into my arms. I hid the wince of pain as I began carrying her up to the front door.
“Klutz, what are you doing?”
“Don’t struggle, Aurora, because you’ll hurt me!” I warned, and she stopped moving. I carried her over the threshold, still held bridal style, kissed her soundly, and then brought her up the stairs. There was one thing on my mind, and I intended to claim it. Aurora was half worried, half giggling by the time I reached the bedroom.
“I want lots of kids with you, baby, so tell me this, bare or condom?” I asked.
It didn’t matter to me if she was on the pill, I would still use a rubber if Aurora wished. Those selfish motherfuckers who thought it was all the woman’s problem for protection needed an ass-kicking. I was just as culpable as Aurora in the insurance department against unwanted birth.
“Bare,” Aurora whispered.
Euphoric, I stood her next to the bed and claimed her mouth again. Aurora tasted of mint and coffee, and they were intoxicating. A little moan left her as I nibbled her lip and trailed a kiss down her throat. My hands cupped slender shoulders, and I slipped her top aside. My mouth followed my hands, and Aurora moaned. Her skin was soft and smelled of strawberries, and saliva pooled in my mouth. Aurora was delectable, I decided as I licked the hollows of her collarbone, and she shuddered under my touch.
Aurora was so responsive she made my cock stand to attention. The fucker was harder than ever. Gentle fingers trailed down my battered face, and she cupped my cheek as I claimed another kiss. My fingers swept her top down, and it bunched at her waist. Aurora’s beautiful breasts were encased in a strapless white lace bra. Dazzled, I bent to them and ran my tongue across the top of the lightly tanned mounds. Aurora’s hands shot to my shoulders.
“Klutz,” she mumbled, her voice soft and breathless.
“Baby, my wife,” I whispered, pulling her long skirt and top off.
My cock nearly broke its neck trying to break through my jeans at the vision in front of me. Aurora, her long dark hair hanging in a sheet, wearing white lace panties and a bra, was beyond a heavenly vision. The material showed starkly against her skin. She was an image of womanly beauty. Aurora’s eyes were half-lidded as she took me in, as I stripped off my clothes and stood naked. This would not be a wham, bam, thank you, ma’am, despite my desire for her.
I clasped Aurora carefully in my arms, aware of her size compared to mine, and then laid her on the bed. Against her white quilt, her skin stood out even more, and I ran a finger down the valley between her breasts. Pulling the bra down, I stared at the perfect handful and cupped them as I knelt between her legs. Aurora gazed at me as I squeezed her breasts together and took her nipples in my mouth one at a time. A low cry escaped as I kneaded and teased until she was whimpering.
