Epilogue

"Please tell me you are joking!" Justin said to the man sitting in front of him.

"No sir, I'm not joking," Zach, a recently patched 30 year old member who worked as security.

"How did this even happen?" Justin asked.

"Well, um we met at one of the club parties and started talking," Zach explained,

"Just talking?" Justin asked, feeling every year of his 50 years of age.

"No sir, I mean yes sir, I wouldn't do anything without your permission and I told her that," Zach replied.

Justin sighed, "I bet she loved that, didn't she."

Zach blushed and cracked his neck, "It was um an interesting conversation...She yelled some very big words at me."

Justin laughed, "Yeah, my baby girl loves her vocabulary words! So what is your plan?"

"Well, I want to date her first and then see where it goes," Zach admitted.

"Why do I get the feeling that it is going to go far? That Lex already has everything mapped out?" Justin prodded.

Zach blushed again, "Well..."

"Say no more Brother. I know my daughter and how she is," Justin started, "Ok, I'll make you a deal. Lex has one more semester of college left. I want her to have that degree. You can start dating now, but nothing else more permanent happens until she has that piece of paper. Deal?"

Zach nodded, "That sounds like a good plan. Thanks Sir," and stood up and shook Justin's hand.

"What about Mason and Tucker?" Zach questioned warily.

Justin chuckled as he thought about his sons. They were every bit as intimidating as he was even if they were only 17 and 15 years old. They were both deep inside the club and couldn't wait to prospect. Avery was making them wait until they graduated and while they weren't happy about it, Avery put the fear of god into them both and they all had no choice but to follow along, especially when she cut Justin off in the bedroom until he agreed. Not that the boys knew that, but it wasn't something Justin was going to forget.

"I will let the boys know to lay off," Justin chuckled, "Ryan might be another story."

"I was going to talk to him next. I know that Ryan is just as important to Lex as you and her brothers," Zach insisted.

Justin dismissed the younger man and sighed as he thought about the past 15 years. Tucker came a little early, but had no lasting effects. Avery was done having kids after another very serious kidney infection and had a tubal. She didn't want to hurt the one kidney she did have. She was still the queen of Devils' Reign and everyone loved and respected her. She ran the clubhouse with a perfectly manicured iron fist, but no one cared. She was amazing at what she did.

The partnership with the Bianchi's was a great business opportunity and very profitable. Justin wasn't surprised when Gio retired and he and Tina lived in their new villa in France, but came over all the time to see the kids. They still treated Ryan like one of the family and no one was surprised when Matteo paid for him to go to a specialist a few years ago to help with the hand. When they had done all they could do, Luca paid for customization on a motorcycle so he could ride and be a fully patched member. No one had seen Ryan as happy as he was the day he got his patch and it wasn't something any of them would ever forget.

Kiki and the twins were doing well. Mitch had died from an infection 10 years ago and a year after the funeral, Luca came over for a little vacation and left with Kiki and the twins six months later. They loved living in Italy and they all would visit as much as they could. It was crazy how life had moved along.

"Hey Love, why are you so deep in thought?" Avery came in and sat in his lap, then kissed him deeply.

"I just had a conversation with Zach Hamilton," Justin said and watched as Avery blushed.

"So, why is it that I think you already knew about this discussion?" Justin asked, smirking.

"Well, Lexi and I may have talked about some things, mother to daughter of course," Avery replied.

Justin laughed, "Why am I not surprised?"

Avery smiled, then kissed him before saying, "He's a good man isn't he?"

Justin nodded, "Yeah, Zach is an upstanding guy. I know she will be taking care of her. And she will be an excellent old lady, she has the best example in the world."

Avery smirked, "Damn straight she did! He really is one of us."

Justin smiled, thinking back to when he had first heard that about Avery, "Yeah, he is one of us."

Avery kissed him, "Devil's Reign..."

Justin replied, "Forever. Now how about you lock the door and I remind you why you can't live without me?"

Avery laughed, "Yeah cuz sex is the only reason I married you."

Justin picked her up, "No, but it was one of them!" and tossed her over his shoulder and smacked her ass, making her laugh before they made love on his desk, just like old times. They were kissing after and Justin looked at her lovingly.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Avery asked.

Justin smiled, "Just thinking about how much I love you and how perfect our life is," and kissed her again, loving his life.

"I couldn't agree more. And I love you too," She replied and kissed his lips gently, "And to think that you asshole bikers that I wasn't one of you."

Justin chuckled and hugged her tightly, "Loved being wrong Baby."
