Psycho - Headless Horsemen MC novel Chapter 74

-Harley-

We walk into the garage and I'm met by all of our men standing in a circle around something but my short ass cant see, "Puddin what the hell is going on? This looks like some satanic ritual and I am not here for it" I whisper yell as we walk towards the group. "Patience kitten" Is all he replies as he smiles to himself, oh boy do I fucking hate surprises. The men move and make a small opening for Jax and I to walk through, Jax walks ahead of me so I can't see anything but once he moves I see Ice on his knees in the middle on the concrete floor.

All of our men nod their heads towards us and I confusingly do it back before turning to face Jax, "What the hell is going on?" I ask looking around. "You see kitten, I decided that it would only be fair if Ice came back in as a prospect, which means no club tattoo until he's in again. Now since we don't have a tattoo removal kit we are going to have to improvise here" He says smiling widely at me, and now I know why I'm here. I look around and spot Blaze who is now clean of the blood and chunks of flesh that were previously in his hair and on his skin, I reach into my bra and pull out my pocket knife that still has some dried blood on it from the man earlier.

I walk around Ice and examine all of the tattoos he has, any that have to do with the MC will be removed. "He has one on his bicep, one on his back and one of the ribs," I say looking down at him, "Remove them all" Jax orders and I nod my head. The garage is full of loud music so people passing by cant hear his screams, I bend down and do his ribs first, I look down and notice a detailed tattoo on his lower side, a name and a date Isaiah 22/02/2017-25/02/2017 and a tiny handprint next to it.

I bite down on my jaw when I read the dates, it was a baby, my heart hurts and I feel slightly guilty for doing this to him, "I'm sorry" I say loud enough for him to hear me before I slice into his skin effortlessly removing the first tattoo, he hisses in pain before breathing out slowly "Don't be, I deserve it I should have given you respect".

"I wasn't talking about that" I reply as I finish cutting the first tattoo off, he looks at me confused before I point at the tattoo I'm talking about with my knife, the confusion drops off his face and is replaced with sadness before it goes blank. I move to his bicep and begin to do that one, "I know Jax wants me to make this hurt but I'm going to do this as quickly and painlessly as I can, not because I forgive you or think you've earned it but because Jax and I know how it is to lose a child and what it does to you as a person, if this is the reason you are this way it needs to change, he wouldn't be proud".

I quickly finish off the bicep before moving to the final one, "Why are you being nice?" He asks quietly as he looks down at the concrete ground "Because no pain I put you through is ever going to compare to the pain of losing a child, you never forget that pain, it's a daily thing, a constant reminder that no one is invincible, even the innocent. This is a bad world and most of the time only the bad people survive so it's our job to protect the innocent, and when you can't do that job it hurts and you feel guilty, even if it wasn't your fault, because in some way you still feel like it's your fault".

He doesn't respond he just keeps staring at the ground, "I know I seem like a bitch and if you had the chance to kill me without any repercussions you would, and I understand why. But please understand that I'm doing this to help you, which is weird because I usually don't care about anyone but my family, so I guess I must see something worthy in you, pull your head in dude you have a whole family right here if you go about it the right way, don't make me actually hurt you".

I finish the third tattoo removal and stand up wiping the blood on my shirt Jax stops the music and the room is silent, "Blaze take him to the doc to get him cleaned up and put him in our old room" Blaze nods his head and walks over to Ice helping him to his feet and out of the garage, "Everyone out" Jax yells causing all of the men to shuffle out quickly, I take a deep breath and place my pocket knife back into my bra.

"What did you say to him?" He questions as he slowly approaches me, "I told him that no matter how much pain I put him through that the pain of losing a child is always going to hurt more and for the rest of his life, I told him that if he acts normal he has a family here, I told him that the needs to pull his head in and I told him not to make me actually hurt him" He smirks at me and slowly walks closer to me, "Is my kitten getting soft?" He playfully asks while pinching my cheeks I smack his hands away and stare at him.

"Do you not remember the scene you walked into int the basement? Do I need to remind you how 'soft' I am?" I ask this time placing my hands on my hips, "Oh don't tease me like that kitten, you know I find it incredibly sexy when you're all rough and sassy," He says as he picks me up and spins me around, I wrap my legs around his waist for support.

"Where are the dogs?" Jax asks confused for a second, "Cleaning up in the basement" I reply shrugging my shoulders "They do a better job cleaning than the rotters" He replies with a grin, "Now I do have something to ask of you my darling wife" He begins as he leaves a trail for kisses along my neck, "The doctor said no sex for another week until the birth control kicks in" I hum in reply, he groans "I know, jesus I don't think with my dick all day" He replies muffled against my neck.

"I don't know, sometimes I think you get the head on your head and the head in your pants confused" I smirk to ymself, he laughs against my skin and bites down on the sensitive spot on my neck "Someone is in for punishment in a week, keep going kitten, please" He says now sucking on the spot that he had previously bitten setting my body on fire, "If you don't stop right now we don't fuck for another month".

He groans again but pull his face out of the crook of my neck, "Now you're just being mean" He pouts, "You have been around Gunner for too damn long" I mumble to myself as I jump down off of him and we walk out of the garage and towards the clubhouse, "Let's get our boy, go home make some food and relax" Jax says lifting me up and carrying me towards the doors "Sounds perfect" I hum. We walk into the clubhouse and am met by the new hacker, "Harley this is Circuit, Circuit this is Harley" He smiles and holds his hand out to me, I grab his hand and shake it while looking over him. He doesn't seem like someone who would be into all the electronic hacking and shit, he's covered in tattoos like the rest of us, jet black hair but bright yellowy/brown eyes like pools of honey.
