It was a great party in terms of club events and not too much debauchery was happening. This was the party to introduce the newly patched members, Cole being one of them, to the club. Avery was excited to know that she was going to be able to take control of the club house and fix some of this stuff up. She was tired of seeing other guys' asses and hearing women moan. Once the wedding was over, she was going to get with Kiki and get the rundown on how things worked. She wanted everyone to feel welcome and that included kids. If she and Justin were going to have kids, she wasn't going to leave them with a sitter all the damn time.

Avery was a little nervous while they sat there eating and everyone noticed it and asked if she was ok. She assured them she was and Justin finally took pity on her and went up to the stage to talk to everyone. She had her engagement ring in the pocket of her dress and really wanted to put it back on. It was making her nervous to not have it on when she considered how much it actually cost. The only thing she owned that was that expensive was her damn car and even then the ring was more. She said many silent prayers of thankfulness for insurance.

She watched as Justin took center stage and the noise quieted down. She was still amazed at the power that he held among this group of people and even others in the community. He commanded respect by his very presence and it was incredibly sexy and a huge turn on for Avery. She could feel the nervousness leave her and desire replace it and she decided that the minute he was done talking, she was taking him to his office to have him screw her on his desk.

She listened as he started speaking to his club about the new members and how proud he was to welcome them to their family. They had proved their worth and loyalty and would make great additions to their empire. Justin took a long drink of the whiskey he had with him while the crowd cheered, then quieted down again when he didn't leave the stage.

"Now you all know, I have had a bit of a change of heart in my way of thinking over the last five or six months. Things that I never thought about wanting kept creeping into my head and before I even realized what I was doing, I found me an old lady," Justin started and smiled when the other guys were harassing him and Avery, but he held up his hand and they stopped for him to continue, "And because of that old lady and what I feel for her, yesterday I asked Avery to marry me and she said yes."

The room erupted around them with loud noises of celebration. Kiki had thrown herself at her soon-to-be sister -in-law with a bone breaking hug as well as the other ladies she was calling friends followed. The men surrounded their president and the congratulations continued for well over an hour before Avery was able to pull him away and seduce him in his office. Not that it took much, but Justin loved that she was becoming more comfortable at the clubhouse and with her own body to do something like this.

And he kissed her deeply as he pounded into her as she lay sprawled across his desk with her dress pulled up to her chin. She looked so wonton and sexy with her perfect tits pushed up by her lacy bra that was pulled low and his bite marks on her skin. It still stunned him how this amazing creature loved him and was going to marry him. And when he felt her gasp and called out his name as she climaxed, he knew he was the luckiest son of a bitch on the planet and felt his balls tense up and release inside her right after.

He leaned down and kissed her as they still were panting. He pulled back and grinned at her, "I love you Baby."

Avery smiled back, "I love you too. Now help me get cleaned up so we can go back to the party."

Justin laughed, kissed her again then did as she asked. He stopped her before they left his office and placed her engagement ring back on her hand, "Never leaving your hand again!"

Avery smiled and rubbed his cheek gently, "Never."

They went back to celebrate with their club for the rest of the night.

—--- -

Avery looked in the mirror and couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. Her soft white dress clung to her just the right way and with the halter style top, it showed off the fresh tattoo on her shoulder. She knew she would never forget the look of pride and desire on Justin's face when she got it earlier in the week. He loved having her marked as his and she had to admit that she loved it too. She was going to wear shirts that showed it off so everyone knew that she was connected to the hottest and sexiest man she had ever seen.

She was pulled from her remembrance when she heard her aunt sniffle behind her, "Aunt Tina, don't you dare start crying! You know that I will start and then will mess up my make-up and it looks perfect right now!"

"I know, I'm sorry Sweetheart. You just look so beautiful!" she said, then whispered softly, "Your Dad would be so happy right now."

Avery softened and hugged her, "I know. I miss him at times like this, but I know that he is looking out for me...I've been thinking that he helped move me this way so I could meet Justin..."

Tina nodded and hugged her again, "I agree. Now I am going to go sit with Kiki and cry with her. Those pregnancy hormones are really amping up with her and I love it!"

Avery laughed as she thought about Kiki and Mitch telling everyone that they were pregnant finally and how happy everyone was. Then when they announced two weeks ago that they were having twins set the clubhouse on fire. Avery loved how happy they were despite the pain she felt over losing her and Justin's baby at the end of May. But here it was, the first week of August and she was getting married to the king of the bikers.

Her aunt kissed her cheek, then left only to be followed by Uncle Gio, Matty and Luca, "Oh Piccolo Fiore! You look breath-taking!" He cooed as he came up and hugged her.

"Thank you," she replied, only to be engulfed by her honorary brothers.

"You know if he messes with you, we will hurt him. He would fertilize the vineyards beautifully," Luca said, kissing her cheek.

"Oh stop!" she scoffed and pushed him away, making them all chuckle.

"Seriously Av, are you happy with this biker?" Matteo asked solemnly, "If you aren't I can get you on the jet and on your way to Italy in under an hour."

"Matty, I am so happy, truly. He is so good to me and helped me move out of my repressed, naive little bubble. I am so excited for our life together and what will happen in the future," Avery assured them all.

"Oh thank god!" Gio exclaimed, "Because that little diva you get to call your step-daughter has exquisite taste and I can't wait to spoil her!"

"Oh please! Go easy Gio," Avery begged, "She is already 6 going on 16!"

Gio laughed, "I know and that's what makes this so much fun! Tina agrees."

Avery knew it was hopeless and just rolled her eyes. She saw how much Gio and Tina were both enamored with Lexi and the little girl loved having four new people to lavish her with attention. And Avery was thrilled when Luca took a liking to Ryan and they talked about everything about Italy, even promising him and his dad a trip out there soon. Both of her worlds were meshing together and she couldn't be more excited.

There was a knock on the door and saw that Gabi was standing in her form fitting dress, looking incredible and smiled, "I'm supposed to let you know it's time Avery. There is a very impatient man out front demanding to get started."

Avery giggled, "Thanks Gabi, we are coming."

The two younger men eyed Gabi up like she was their last meal and she just smirked, "Sorry boys, I have my sights set on someone else," making both men swear lightly and Avery and Gio laugh.

"Well, my little flower, can I wake you down the aisle?" Gio asked lovingly.

"Been my plan for years," She replied and smiled as he led her out of the room and out to the reception area. Avery had found that the botanical gardens had a venue spot and it was open for this date and she jumped on. She wanted an outdoor ceremony and reception but didn't want the clubhouse and Justin totally understood. This was their wedding and not a club party and he knew she had plans to tone down some of the shenanigans that went on at the clubhouse, especially the sex in the open part. Avery wanted some semblance of civility and he agreed with her.

Justin was on pins and needles as he waited and the music changed. He saw Luca and Matteo move to their seats next to Tina and knew that it was time. Justin looked out to the guess gathered and hadn't seen the club look this nicely dressed in years. He was thrilled that members had respected Avery enough to dress up their usual t-shirts and work jeans for nicer clothes. He knew that his life was going to be extraordinary and it was all due to Avery.

He was in a trance as he watched her walk towards him on Gio's arm. Justin didn't know how it was possible, but she looked even more beautiful than she usually did. She seemed to be almost an angel as she moved towards him and Justin noticed that the crowd gave murmurs and nods of approval as they saw her tattoo and felt so much pride. Then he realized that he had no idea what he had done to deserve her. Justin wasn't under any delusions that he was a good man and while he didn't believe in heaven or hell, he knew wasn't going to go to heaven. He had killed men, hurt them and threatened even more. Not to mention all of the other sins that he had committed. He was just thankful that she had stumbled into his life and would do everything in his power to keep her in it. And god help the people who so much as tried to touch a hair on her head.

Justin didn't really comprehend the words the judge was saying, he listened just enough so that he knew when to respond with his 'I will'. He looked down at their joined hands and saw the glittering black diamonds and felt his heart swell with love and pride. He was a married man and had the most beautiful woman that loved him and his daughter. And those were two things that he never thought he would actually have, given his track record with women, sex, his mother and Lexi's mother. And when the judge said that he could kiss his bride, he pulled her to him, making her gasp and they kissed long, deep and passionately as the crowd roared.

He finally pulled away when he couldn't breathe any longer, but still didn't let her go. He just pulled her into his arms, hugging her to his chest and said a silent prayer of thanks to any deity he could think of for this moment.

"Justin," he heard her whisper into his ear.

"Yeah Baby?" he responded, still not letting her go,

"I hope you don't mind, I stopped taking my birth control about a week ago," She replied.

Justin pulled back, ignoring the crowd and Gabi motioning for them to walk back down the aisle, "Are you serious?"

Avery smiled, "Yeah. Is that ok?"

"So fucking ok!!!" He replied and kissed her again, before picking her up bridal style and carrying her back down the aisle to get their reception and life together started.
