The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

“Figures all the jokes are about my age,” he said. “I’m not too old yet, Kelly can confirm that.”

“Whatever you say, Gramps.” He turned and scowled at me before we both busted out laughing again, and then it was time. I walked him down between the lines of motorcycles, leaving him at the altar as I went to sit in the front row next to Snake. His motorcycle was parked behind the podium. Crash was standing in the center, an issue of Easy Rider magazine in his hand instead of a bible, and a weird smile on his face. The music changed, “Another One Bites the Dust” changed over to Daft Punk’s “One More Time.” Teri and Taser walked down the aisle, escorted by Hammer and Rocket. They took their spots in the front, then we heard the first bikes rev up as Kelly reached the aisle.

She looked great, thigh-high stockings and garters, white heels, a white lace dress and her cut. Dagger was walking her down the aisle, each few steps marked by another pair of bikes starting. When she got to the front, the engines revved before being cut on Crash’s signal. He gave them a minute to take their seats before he started. “Dearly beloved, clearly we haven’t learned anything from the last time,” he started. “We are here today to join Viper and Kelly in the bonds of no-shit matrimony. I’m happy to see we have plenty of Ensure on hand and a doctor in the house, since the groom is old enough to remember when Harley met Davidson.”

“Watch it, boy,” Viper warned.

“I’d give them the usual warnings, but both have been married before so they know all that sex is going to stop after a year or so. They won’t listen anyway. I can smell the food already, so let’s just move on the part where they pledge their eternal devotion to each other, yadda yadda, you know the drill. The rings please.” He was handed the pair and held them up. “The rings symbolize the unending love and bond between these two, that’s what you’re told at the jeweler. We all know they exist to keep assholes from hitting on his old lady, and skanks from hitting on her old man. Not that it was a big deal, until they finally hooked up they were getting as much action as DeWalt’s motorcycle.” I cringed inside, but I was laughing. “It also means they can stop sneaking around and grope each other openly, at the dinner table, like respectable bikers.”

“I’m getting hungry, Crash, get to the molesting part!” I laughed as Kelly pushed him to move on.

He handed Viper a ring. “You ready to give up all future skanks for this one?”

“I promise to love, protect and care for you as my Old Lady,” Viper said as he put the ring on her finger. “You’re mine, and I’ll treat you right.”

He then held out the other ring for Kelly, but it dropped out of his hand as she reached for it. It hit his boot and started rolling quickly across the pavement towards the storm drain. “FUCK,” Crash said as he ran after it. He dove at the last minute, slapping his hand down at the edge as we all held our breath. He lifted his hand and his shoulders slumped in relief. “Got it,” he said as he got up.

The Club guys applauded him as he brushed the dirt and sand off his clothes, his right hand holding the ring tight. Kelly took it from him, smirking a little. “Good thing you found that, do you have any idea how many Cracker Jack boxes I had to open to find it?”

“Quit bitching and do this, I’m hungry,” Crash replied.

“With this ring, I pledge to love you forever, screw you often and ride as your Old Lady. You do have to take care of my Harley, though,” she said as she put the ring on his finger.

“Then by the power vested in me by the State of Minnesota and the laser-printed card in my wallet, I pronounce you Old Man and Old Lady.” He looked at the crowd. “Now what?”

“YOU MAY NOW MOLEST THE BRIDE,” everyone yelled as we stood up to applaud. Viper pulled her into his chest, kissing her deeply as one hand dropped down to cup her ass, pushing her skirt up out of the way. She dropped both hands to his, pulling him tight as she ground on him.

“Hey, children here,” Teri teased as they came up for air. Viper just laughed as Kelly jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist as he walked them to his bike. He fired it up, pulling out and riding slowly back up the aisle with her on the back. The riders along the aisle fired up their engines and pulled out to follow them, and when they were done most of the others went to their bikes and joined the party. Hammer had put “Just Married” signs on Viper’s bike along with beer cans on a string.

“They’ll be back in half an hour or so,” Snake said as he sat down and pulled me into his lap. We kissed, I felt so happy for them. “Come on, some of the ladies and the prospects need to help us get the dinner ready. It needs to be on the table when they return.”

We went inside, Sheri had done an amazing job with decorating in such a short time. “Leftovers from previous receptions,” she said as I hugged her. The band was setting up, that was another surprise she had for us. We did our final preps, all the food was on the table when we heard them returning.

It only took ten minutes to get everyone seated and start eating. The gumbo was a hit, as I knew it would be, and the party was soon in full swing. The prospects were busy at the bar, bringing pitchers of beer out. After ten, when some of the kids were taken home or up to the day care room, things really started to get fun.

I danced with Snake mostly, but Viper made sure he got one from me too. “Congratulations, Dad,” I said as I leaned my head on his shoulder. “I’m so glad you found someone.”

“I’m glad you’re back, Vivian. I can’t tell you how much I missed you.”

I eventually sat down, a glass of water in hand, when I hear Viper yell for me. The people on the dance floor moved aside as I ran forward. Viper was sitting on the floor, holding Kelly’s head in his lap. “She was fine, then her eyes rolled and she fainted,” he said.

“Snake, carry her up to the clinic,” I said. I ran ahead, opening the door and turning the lights on. They hadn’t changed anything in the room, and had kept it clean, so it was usable. I watched as she was laid on the examining table. “Everyone out,” I said, and they all obeyed except Viper.

I took her vitals, her blood pressure was way high. She wasn’t running a temperature, and she woke up a few minutes later. “Relax, Kelly, you’re in the clinic. You passed out on the dance floor,” I told her.

She tried to sit up, but Viper stopped her. “Just rest, love, let her check you out.”

I’d been gone a while, so I took her history. She hadn’t had a checkup in years, and didn’t have a history of high blood pressure that she knew of. “Am I going to be all right?”

“I’m concerned about your blood pressure, it’s come down but not into the normal range yet. Have you been feeling all right lately? Notice any changes?”

She thought about it. “I’ve been dieting, I put on a few pounds last month. I’m tired, and the smells of some foods make me queasy.”

I reached into a drawer and pulled out a test kit. Her eyes bugged out as she looked at it. “But… I’m too old!”

“You’re forty-six, that isn’t too old. When was your last period?”

She thought back. “March? I’m not regular.” I helped her up and into the bathroom.

When the door closed, Viper whispered, “You think she might be pregnant?”

“You’ve been sexually active with her, haven’t you?”

“Well, I don’t just lie there,” he said with a nervous laugh. “We never thought to use protection.”

“I need you to help here. She needs rest, so no strenuous activity, no stress. I’m going to give you this blood pressure monitor. I want you to test her when she wakes up, and every couple hours until you get back. Call me immediately if it alarms,” I said as I set it. “No alcohol, salt or scary movies. You two just relax in your hotel, or I’ll put here in the clinic on bedrest.”

“Yes Doc.” We both turned to the bathroom door as it opened.

Kelly was staring at the test, her face was pale. “It’s positive,” she said as she ran into Viper’s arms and started to cry.

Jessica’s POV

Late August

“What do you want to watch now?” I looked over at Kelly, sitting in her theater chair with her hands over her belly. Pillows propped her in place, and a light blanket guarded her from the chill of the air conditioning.

“Terminator series,” she said. I cringed, we watched the original and Judgement Day at least once a week. We were on week five of our combined bedrest, and things were getting into a rut. Vivian had put me on bedrest at sixteen weeks, then Kelly joined me two weeks later. It turned out Kelly’s pregnancy was only a week ahead of mine, so our development was almost the same. Her pregnancy was high risk, due to her age and her blood pressure. She needed monitoring, and rest, and Viper couldn’t do it. The Club moved her in to a guest room, furnishing it so the two of us could spend our days together. So far, the drugs and bed rest were helping; if it flared up, it could result in preeclampsia, a dangerous condition for mother and son. Vivian had sent her to a cardiac specialist and an obstetrician specializing in high-risk pregnancies among older women. Between the three of them, Kelly couldn’t sneeze without a reaction.

She was having a boy, I was having a girl. We had been doing ultrasounds at least weekly to monitor development, more often as I approached the danger zone of my pregnancy. So far, I was good, no evidence of bleeding or abnormal placental developments.

I sat up and changed the disc in the DVD player, then tossed her the remote. We were just settling in for the opening scene when Vivian knocked and came in. “Jessica, it’s time,” she said.

I nodded, sitting up she helped me to my feet. Kelly took my hand, squeezing it lightly. “It’s going to be all right,” she said.

“I pray to Luna you’re right, because I’m scared to death right now.” Vivian pulled me into a hug, and I started to lose it. That pregnancy test had been a death sentence, the girl I loved that was growing in me the cause. I held on to her for strength, until I was able to stand on my own. “Let’s go,” I whispered.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She walked me into the clinic room and helped me lay down on the table. I smiled as Carson walked in. “Am I in time?”

“Perfect timing,” Vivian said as she prepared the ultrasound machine. I pushed my shorts and panties down far enough for my rounded belly to be exposed. She turned the screen so we could watch, my mate taking a chair by my head where he could hold my hand. The probe was cool on my belly, and we watched the screen as our little girl came into view.

She was beautiful.

Vivian was doing a lot of measuring and checking while the two of us just stared, open mouthed, at the life we had created. I loved her, I loved the way she moved within me, I loved when she got hiccups that felt like little butterflies inside me. I would do anything for her, and I had made my wishes clear to my mate and my doctor. Save her first.

“She’s doing well, right on track with her growth at week twenty-three,” Vivian said. “The placental attachment looks good. Are you ready?” I nodded. We had discussed this option for a while; she was going to inject me with betamethasone, an antenatal glucocorticoid. The drug would help speed her lung development, increasing her chance of survival when we have her delivered next week. The big change we had decided on was to deliver before the SPUDS symptoms began, thus avoiding the fetal stress and hopefully the fatal bleeding. She cleaned my shoulder with alcohol, then gave me the injection. “I need to monitor you every six hours over the next three days,” she said as she put the machine away. “There is a possibility of reduced fetal movement and heart rate, but this is normally not a problem. I don’t know if the placenta will be affected, and any problems I want identified early.”

“It’s important, so we do it,” I said. “One more shot tomorrow?”

“Yes, and if everything goes well, in one week we deliver,” she said.
