Page 47 of Revenant's Fire

“I’d do it again, too!” I call out over the noise.

I jerk forward when Elias’ hand swats my ass. “No, you fucking won’t, Sassy.”

I grin up at him for a moment, before my gaze settles first on the club brothers and the girls, then my parents and siblings and then Gallows.

“Sunny, thank you for carrying the weight of Revenant’s burden with him.” Gallows holds my gaze a moment before he winks. He turns to Mercy who hands him a box with a giant, yellow bow on top.

I take it in both hands, turning to Elias who bites his lips, trying to hide his amusement.

“Elias, with the power vested in me, I pronounce you Property of Sunny.” I hand him the box as the brothers laugh and Ledger puts his fingers in his mouth to whistle. Brave choice considering they were just inside Trinity’s ass but hey ho.

Elias carefully removes the lid of the box, pulling out his cut, the one that I made him hand over to Vera for her to add my property patch. I giggle when he oohs and ahhs over it, hamming it up for the club. I can’t believe this is the same man who I would wait for in my father’s church.

My dad’s gaze catches mine and he mouths, “You did good.” I beam at him, blinking back a tear as I mouth back, “You too.” I have no doubt that without my father Revenant wouldn’t be standing here with me today. His burdens would have crushed him under their weight. They’re still there, but not as heavy as they once were.

“Sunny, fuck. I have no idea what the hell I did other than step foot into your church that day, but one look at you and I knew that things would never be the same.” He pauses a moment, cupping my cheek and I lean further into his warmth, his strength. “Did I think I’d end up with an Ol Lady who loves to make shit ten times harder than it needs to be? Not at all. But, well, God works in mysterious ways.” I waggle my brows at him. “Sunny, will you accept my cut as a symbol of not only my love for you but of my promise to protect and serve you the best I can?”

“Hells yeah!” I fist pump. “Mercy, hand it over before he changes his mind!” Mercy does away with the box, instead holding my cut open for me to slip my arms into.

The butter soft leather slips over my shoulders, the words “Property of Revenant” settling on my back and everything feels right in my world.

“Fucking beautiful,” Elias growls before taking my mouth.

“Welcome to the Saint’s, Sunny,” Gallows says, dipping his chin.

Ledger stamps his feet and the club join him by banging their fists on the bar or just letting rip with whistles and shouts of congratulations. Brake shoves Elias before pulling me into his arms, crushing me for a moment before pushing me back into Elias’s arms.

“Let’s party!”

Revenant

I’m feeling a little dusty as I walk into church, taking my usual seat. Last night got a little wild after Sunny's claiming ceremony. The brothers cut loose, as did the good pastor’s family. By the time I left, Sunny's brothers were in an arm wrestling match with some of my club brothers and her little sister Goldie was hustling Brake at the pool table.

A large hand lands on my shoulder, pulling a groan from me. “Brother, don’t know what you’re moaning for, you left the party early,” Hollow says, groaning as he gingerly sits beside me.

I eye him for a moment. “What the hell happened to you? Why are you moving like that?”

“Tried something new with Diamond,” he mumbles.

“Aw shit, brother, I been there,” Brake says, looking better than I’ve seen him in a while. “I made that mistake once. Couldn’t sit down for almost a week.”

I stare between the two, then decide it’s none of my business. Brake takes a seat, then a really long pull of some smoothie looking shit. The straw making that annoying fucking sound it makes near the end.

“Why do you look so rough? You left before all of us,” he says, tipping his cup my way.

I grunt in response. I ain't telling him that watching Sunny show me what the cut sluts taught her on the pole had my cock punching through my jeans. I took her back to our room and made her give me a private lap dance before I ate her to orgasm and then fucked her three times. My woman is sexy as fuck and I can’t get enough of her. But I’m also ten fucking years older than her and I’m struggling to keep up, if I’m being honest. I wonder if she’ll agree to just spoon tonight?

Gallows gavel snaps me out of my thoughts, and back to the matters at hand. “Got a call from the Harkins, they got some shit they want moved.”

Hollow groans, “Everytime we move shipments for the Harkins it goes to shit. What is it this time? Fucking exotic animals again?”

“Bingo,” Gallows grins, “A couple of pricey pythons and a monitor lizard for some rich bastards. Quick, easy job. I want Coyote, Sleet and Hollow on it.”

The brothers all agree, and Brake looks fucking relieved. He was almost choked out by a python last time.

“What else we got?”

“Two jobs on for Saint’s Air so I’ll need some brothers this week. County loved our work so much they want us back to do the courthouse and the Sheriff’s department,
