Page 65 of Eight Bikers' Heir

“I hear bikes,” Hayden said, prompting us to hurry down the street that was to the left of the burning clubhouse. We only paused to see Ghoul and the other Hornets stop their bikes on the road in front of their clubhouse, looks of shock filling their faces.

Ghoul almost stumbled like his knees were about to give out. He looked over to the left and spotted us, rage breaking across his face when he saw that we had Aisling. He knew who did this to his clubhouse.

With a smirk, Bradley flipped him off before we all hurried back to our bikes. The fighting was over. The Hornets had lost their heir, their clubhouse, and their strong reputation all in one night.

“Thank you for saving me,” Aisling told us once we made it back to our bikes. She swallowed hard before smiling. “You guys and the baby were all I could think about.”

“We didn’t forget about you for a second,” I promised her as I gently brushed a strand of her hair out of her face. “Now, let’s get you back home.”

“Where you belong,” Kai added, coaxing grins onto the others’ faces.

I couldn’t agree more.

Aisling

Ifelt like I could finally let out a sigh of relief the moment Kai carried me into the clubhouse, weight dropping from my shoulders.

Just thinking about being back with the men I had fallen for choked me up, but I needed to figure out a way to properly speak so that I could admit my feelings for them. It was time.

Maybe part of me was scared that something bad would happen that would prevent me from telling them the truth.

For a minute there, I thought that I was doomed and wouldn’t ever see them again. I thought my son would be taken away and that I would be buried six feet under without anyone knowing.

My heroes came to my rescue, though. They brought me back home, and there were no words to explain how grateful I was for them. They fought for me, making me somehow fall even deeper in love with them than I already was. They just made the impossible possible somehow.

Kai set me down on my bed, and the other seven guys filled my bedroom, surrounding me on all sides as I carefully sat up straight.

“Are you sure you’re okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Kai asked me as he crouched in front of me.

I smiled and gently patted his cheek.

“I feel okay. I promise I’ll go get checked out soon, but I just want to rest right now and be with you guys. It feels like we’ve been apart for days instead of hours,” I told him as my eyes swept over everyone. I could feel them inspecting me, making sure that I wasn’t hurt. It was sweet, my cheeks warming up from the amount of care.

“We’re glad to have you back,” Lincoln told me from my right. “We weren’t going to give up until you were safe.”

My heart ached in awe.

“I… wow… every time I try to say these words I just want to bawl,” I said with a light laugh as my eyes started to burn.

I cleared my throat to try again, letting the words fly before I chickened out and lost my chance.

“I love you. All of you. I know that wasn’t planned or discussed, but I almost lost you tonight. I almost lost everything, so I’m going to be honest. I just want you guys to know that.”

When silence met my words, I almost wanted to run and hide, wondering if I just blurted out my feelings only to be rejected. What a devastating end to an already hard day.

Kai suddenly placed his hands on my thighs as he smiled up at me. That was a really nice sight.

“We should’ve been honest earlier, but we love you too,” he said before glancing around at everyone, who nodded in agreement. “We have for a while.”

“You’re part of our family,” Claude added from my right, reaching out to place his hand on my shoulder.

“Just like our son,” Bradley said.

“And we don’t want you to go after a year is up. We want you to stay for as long as you want,” Hayden told me with a hopeful glint in his eyes.

“Hopefully, that’s forever,” Cameron chuckled.
