His face registered his shock and then he was growling and taking me like a madman. He pounded my ass but good. By the time I’d come again and was thinking I’d die if he didn’t come soon, he slammed into me and held still. A long grunt came out of him and I felt his cock twitching, as his warm cum spread in my ass. The sensation of that made me tip over for a third time. By the time we were both done, we were lying on the bed with him spooning me. His softening cock was still in my sore ass. He kissed my shoulder.
“Thank you, baby. Thank you for loving me, giving me a family and for not thinking I’m a monster. I love you so damn much it hurts, Ilara.”
“I love you more and more every day, Donovan. You’ve given me more than you know. Thank you.” He gently kissed me then pulled out of my ass. I whimpered at the loss. He got up and took me to the shower. We ended up getting clean then getting dirty all over again. Wow, my life was different in just a few short months. I went from homeless to this, beyond blessed and loved.

Christmas Day shone bright on the white snow we’d gotten the night before. Hope was so excited. She wanted to go out and play in it. Bear promised her he’d take her out later, but first we had to see what Santa brought her. She was old enough to have seen pictures of Santa, even if she didn’t understand the concept. I had to admit, we went crazy with gifts. Well, it was mainly Bear. I tried to rein him in, but he insisted he had to buy everything he did for her.
He’d done a lot of shopping for Tarin as well. It was harder for an adult woman, so he asked me to help him. I hoped she liked what we got her. We’d gotten Tarin to agree to stay all night last night. She met us downstairs at nine. While she helped me fix breakfast, Bear sat with Hope by the tree, looking at the gifts. He was to keep her from opening them.
After a quick breakfast and cleaning up of the mess, we got down to opening the gifts. Hope had all three of us laughing our asses off at her. She squealed and clapped and smiled so much it was a wonder she didn’t pass out. She had clothes and toys everywhere, and it wasn’t just from us. Tarin had brought her several things as well.
While Hope played, we opened our gifts. He’d gotten me too much. I had beautiful clothes, jewelry, and perfume plus an all-day pass at the spa in town to have a day of pampering. I’d gotten him things for his bike that Outlaw had helped me pick out. There was a gun he’d been looking at and there were some clothes as well. Ones I knew would make him look even hotter than he did. I could now afford to do it, since I was doing HR for the club. Even with Hope in the hospital, I had worked on stuff while she slept. They insisted on paying me a full salary.
Tarin was quiet as she opened all her gifts. We’d gotten her things like me such as clothes, jewelry, and a spa package. When she was done, she looked at us. “I don’t know what to say. This is incredible. Thank you. I was wondering what to get you guys, then I thought of something. I hope you enjoy it. If you want to exchange it, we can.” She handed us a small box.
When we opened it, my mouth dropped open when I saw what was inside. It was for a two-week vacation in Tahiti. Bear shook his head. “Tarin, this is too much. We can’t accept this.”
“If it’s the money, then don’t worry about it. The one good thing my stepfather did was leave his money behind when he died. It was the only nice thing he ever did. I don’t usually spend it, but this is a good thing. It’s for your honeymoon. It’s open ended as for when you want to take it. I’m also volunteering to watch Hope for you while you go. If you don’t like the place, we can change that too.” She was watching us nervously. I jumped up and gave her a hug. She hesitated then hugged me back. Bear wrapped us both up in his arms.
“Thank you, so damn much, honey. We love it even though you spent way too damn much,” he whispered to her. He could see that she had to do this. We both had noticed her tone when she talked about her stepdad. There was something there, and I wanted to find out what it was.
After we got ourselves under control, we cleaned up the wrapping paper all over the place and got ready to go over to the compound. The club celebration would be there. All the ladies, myself and Tarin included, had been cooking and baking in preparation for the meal. We’d have some fun and games there with the guys who didn’t have family. They needed to feel included.
At the clubhouse, I was shocked to see more gifts for Hope and the other kids. We had a wonderful day and everyone ate way too much. At one point, I saw Outlaw talking to Tarin before he took her down the hall. When they came back, she was looking a little shocked. I was curious why. They had been getting along. I suspected they might be sleeping together. She didn’t stay at the clubhouse, but he was at the hotel all the time. At first, he said it was to make sure she was safe. Later, he said it was to get her to trust him. He wanted her in every way.
They left the clubhouse. A little while later they came back and Outlaw told the guys to follow him outside. He showed off the motorcycle she’d gotten him, which shocked us, then the guys took Hope outside for a little while to play in the snow. Bear made sure she didn’t get too cold or tire herself out. By evening, we were all exhausted but happy. It was the best Christmas ever.
Bear had beamed when Tarin came out after dinner wearing a Property of Outlaw cut. The front had the name, Jewel on it. Everyone congratulated them. I was shocked but thrilled to see things were going that well for them. I’d thought they might be sleeping together, but never that it had gotten this far.
There was one final gift before we all ended the day. It wasn’t for any of the kids or women. It was for one of the guys. The club had invited Tate to join us for the day. He’d looked stunned all day to be included. Before we all went home, Bull got up and made an announcement.
“Can I have your attention? In light of recent events, the guys and I had a serious discussion. It pertains to an earlier thing we did. Something that impacted the whole club. Thankfully, we’ve seen the error we made and we want to rectify that mistake. Tate, come here.” Tate looked nervous as hell as he got up and went to stand beside Bull.
“Hold out your arms to your sides,” Bull told him. He did. Suddenly, they slipped a leather cut over his shoulders. He looked down in shock and awe. I saw tears in his eyes as he realized it was his old prospect cut. Everyone cheered and the guys all got up to give him slaps on the back. The ladies had to wait to congratulate him. I was so damn happy they were giving him a second chance. He more than deserved it after what he did for me and Tarin.
