“I don’t know… looks badass in a trashy kind of way,” Iris stated.

Tiger sighed. “You’re all snobs.”

“You are too,” Ze teased him with a nudge. “But you look so fucking hot in that cut.”

“So, does that mean you’re in a biker club, uncle?” asked Madeline, Iris’ thirteen-year-old daughter. Tiger’s sister had three daughters and one son.

He nodded. “Yes.”

“So, are you still working with the family?” David asked, one of Nate’s sons.

“Oh yes, it changes nothing,” Helena stated.

“What your grandmother said,” Tiger added.

Ze couldn’t help but look at the kids in the room and marvel at the fact that they were either already killers or being trained for the profession. In his club, kids were allowed to be kids, but they were taught that they would be members when they reached the right age. They did learn how to fight and ride motorcycles, but it was up to them if they learned other skills. Still, they’d be teenagers before that happened.

The family continued to chat, Ze and Tiger did go off to wrap up the business with the birth certificate, both men signed it, making it official. Another hour passed before Tiger’s family left and he and Ze were now standing at the wide window, looking at their son wrapped up in his blue blanket.

“So, that thing is ours,” Tiger teased.

Ze slapped his arm. “Don’t call him a thing. He is clearly an ‘it.’”

Both men laughed and Tiger wrapped his arms around Ze, holding him close. “I’m glad to see you this happy. It’s been a while.”

Ze leaned his head back on Tiger’s shoulder. “I’m happy, Tiger, but I won’t be the way I was until my brother is free. He couldn’t even come to the birth of our son.”

“He’ll be able to see him on visits,” Tiger said.

“Scraps Vinny has given us.”

“Soon, baby, it’ll all be over. You’ll have your family whole.”

“But yes, I am happy. To have you in my life and now our son.”

Tiger kissed his temple. “You’re mine,” he said, then looked at his son. “You both are.”

Ze smiled, because claiming his son, in his opinion, was Tiger’s first step toward acceptance. But he knew it would take some time and patience on his part. And he had that in spades for Tiger.

Tiger looked at the baby in the bassinet, his eyes open and probably wondering what the hell was going on. He just couldn’t believe he was a father now. It didn’t matter that he’d spent nine months preparing for this day to come. The nursery in his penthouse was all decked out, a project he and Ze worked on together. And when his son reached the age of three… he would start training him as he was trained. The family business indeed.

Eleven Months Later

The music was blaring through the speakers as the Lords of Chaos mingled, danced, played games, and of course, fucked during one of their weekly Saturday night shindigs. Tiger walked through the door dressed for the occasion in a pair of black jeans, boots, and a t-shirt. But the article of clothing he wore with more pride than he’d thought he would was his cut with the Lords of Chaos patch on the back. He also had the club patch tattooed on his right bicep by his club brother, Tat, who did an amazing job. The guy was a real artist.

Tiger greeted his club brothers as he made his way through the crowd to his cub. His Property of, Ze, who did bear the tattoo he wanted on his right ass cheek “Property of Tiger”. He was used to these parties now, it wasn’t the first time he’d been to wild get-togethers. He’d been to orgies, big game hunts where a human was the prey, but just a party like what the Lords threw on a regular basis, it caught him off guard the first one he’d attended. Out the corner of his eye, he saw Wolf getting fucked by a man shorter than him, but who obviously had a large enough cock to satisfy the beast of a man.

Tiger chuckled and shook his head. Looked like Wolf and the man fucking him were enjoying themselves. Wolf wasn’t the only one fucking, there was going to be plenty of bodily fluids to clean up in the morning. He was just happy that it wasn't his job any longer. The club had new prospects that would have the honor now. He spotted his man in the back playing a game of pool with Bruiser and Raven. Of course, Raven wasn’t the same these days. She’d undergone her transition from male to female and had done so with the club’s blessing.

She was now Sienna, and her deadname was Enrico. It took a little while for the club members to get used to at first, but now, everyone was on board. Even more noteworthy was that she was now the first female member of the club, opening doors for other females to join this chapter. One of their prospects was a female, and a bad bitch in her own right. Tiger didn’t see any reason why she shouldn’t make patch in six months.

He walked up behind Ze and slapped his ass so hard, his man missed his shot.

“Ow, damn.” Ze turned around to see Tiger smiling back at him. “You just cost me fifty dollars.”

“As long as your ass is still stinging, then it was worth it,” Tiger said.
