Raging Barons MC – Book Three – Silver
Raging Barons – Silver: Chapter 26

-:- MEAT -:-

Fresh bread rising ready for the oven and I’m all ready for Mia to arrive for her morning workout. We’ve been doing this for a week, and she’s doing okay, she still needs her fitness improving, but it’s getting better all the time. There’re times she works out with Buzz and Target, and I admire the fact she is giving this everything.

Mia enters the kitchen yawning, but smiles, “I’m ready Meat. Are we going outside this morning?”

“Yes, we’re going to do some yoga and then I want to do some boxing with you. Your arms need strengthening because when you punch, I want powerful hits.” I’m not joking. She’s gonna know she’s worked out this morning.

Outside, we step onto the lawn area at the side of the clubhouse, where I have laid a couple of yoga mats. We start with pelvic tilts, really easy, laying down on our backs with knees bent and raise the pelvis, then gently lower again. Leg lifts, first one vertically while we’re still laying on our back, then the other, lower slowly and repeat. Moving on to sitting with crossed legs, we roll our head around, first one way then the other. Same position. We twist our bodies from left to right, then right to left. Hands and feet on the floor, butt in the air, raise onto toes, then heels back down, stretching out calves and hamstrings.

“You okay Mia?” I know she is, but she enjoys talking and this is my way of seeing if she’s out of breath, she shouldn’t be, as these have all been gentle.

“Yeah, I’m fine, but did you see Eden has joined us?” giggling as we see Eden’s butt in the air, doing the last exercise faster to catch up.

“Good morning. I didn’t know you were joining in?” She is wearing joggers and a tee-shirt so she will be okay joining in with us.

“I came to see about helping you, but when I saw you exercising, I thought I’d just join in with you, if that’s okay?” Eden still has a few bruises and a bit of a yellow tinged eye, but she’ll be okay now, I’m sure.

I quickly get these two ready to start the boxing warm-ups, first I hand them both a jumping rope and have them doing that for five minutes, they are puffing and hot by the time they’ve done this, me, I feel like a drill sergeant and quite enjoying it too.

I have to smile at them moaning and cursing when they do five minutes jogging in place, but I never said this was going to be easy, the groans they make when they stop has my smirk appearing.

“Come on, you two, let’s start some jabs. You’re not hitting anyone, you’re air boxing. So, stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, one foot forward, one back, make fists, and make sure your thumb is outside your knuckle. Raise your fists in front of your chin.

“Punch out, arm straight, fists out, knuckles up, palm down. Now snap your arm back to your face.” After correcting the stance on each of them, we get it right and then change leading hand so they are jabbing well with each arm.

Mia is starting to get a bit cocky and is popping up and down on her heels, I’m starting to grin as I’m sure something could go awry because it always does when Mia gets too confident in her training. Before any other thought goes through my mind Mia punches forward with her right arm and as she snaps it back to her face she literally punches herself on the chin, “Fucking hell, I nearly knocked myself out,” she screeches, but it’s the cackle on my left that has me smirking because Eden is holding her knees laughing loudly, tears starting to run down her cheeks.

Mia turns to her, points with a grin, “Do you want me to punch you, so you know how hard I hit myself?” which has Eden shaking her head no, then cackling some more.

“Come on you two, just a few more.” I urge but am not containing my smirk.

When I see they are tiring of jabbing, I give them some praise, then I set them off jogging on the two-mile route and I head inside to check on the bread. I need to get it all in the ovens and breakfast laid out ready. Everything is prepped, so it won’t take me long.

A while later Mia and Eden walk into the kitchen and grab a bottle of water, give me a nod and try to escape, “Oh ladies, don’t forget before evening meal you’ll be doing some hand-to-hand.”

Eden spins around, “Oh, I’m not doing that Meat.” Trying to back out of the kitchen as she speaks.

“Oh yes, you are. You joined in this morning, so you’re in for the long haul. Exercise for fitness, boxing and hand-to-hand.” I turn my back on her but can’t help the small smirk I have on my face.

Strutting over to me, Eden puts her hands on her hips giving me a stern look, or trying to, “But Meat I didn’t sign up for it. I was just going to help you with the wood, you know, whatever you’re doing.”

“Well Eden, you joined in. That puts you in the class. Stop whining like a pussy, and you’ll be building with me too, as you wanted, so go change and then eat breakfast. We’ll sort out the other after lunch.”

-:- SILVER -:-

Waking, I turn to place my arm around Eden when I realize she’s no longer in bed. Shit, I wanted to cuddle for a while. God-dammit, I’m growing a vagina, thinking cuddles, we’ve not even had sex and I’m pussy whipped.

I quickly head into the bathroom, shower and dress, then rush downstairs to find my woman.

Standing in the kitchen doorway I watch as Eden puts her hands on her hip, trying to look stern I’m sure, then she says. “But Meat, I didn’t sign up for it. I was just going to help you with the wood, you know, whatever you’re doing.”

Eden turns her head and gives me a frown, then quickly turns back to Meat who replies, “Well Eden, you joined in. That puts you in the class. Stop whining like a pussy, and you’ll be building with me too, as you wanted, so go change and then eat breakfast. We’ll sort out the other for after lunch.”

Eden growls and I grin as any argument she is having with Meat I for one don’t think she’s going to win, but I’m happy to let it play out. Eden and Meat still have to find their place in the MC, and the only way to do that is to let them be free to do things.

The only thing I’m not willing to do is let her out of the compound without one or more of the brothers with her in case Tommo tries to grab her.

“I’m going to shower and change Silver; I’ll be back in a while. Will you make me a plate of breakfast, please?”

“I sure will, babe.” Kissing her on her forehead, then slap her butt lightly to move her along, grinning to myself as I hear her mutter, damn alpha males.

Walking into the kitchen, Meat gives me a slight lift of his lips, which I think is his way of smiling. “What have we got for breakfast this morning, Meat?” I ask as I’m checking out the island. The smell of bread baking has my mouth watering and stomach clenching.

“Pancakes, breakfast casserole, waffles, oatmeal, or just plain toast.” Meat is shoving trays of breakfast casserole onto the island and, boy, it smells divine.

Grabbing two plates from the stack, I load up with breakfast casserole, take it to a table, lay out cutlery and pick up two coffees that Meat has placed on the island too. “Thanks man, this is great.”

Once I’m sitting at the table, I look over at Meat. “What are your plans for Eden as I’m taking her over to Club Whisky today. I need to be spending time with her now that she’s well enough to get some normality.”

“She’s helping me with a project in the compound, and she joined in Mia’s training session this morning, so I told her she has to do it all the time now.” I see he gives a slight smirk.

“Actually, I agree with you on that, because I think any women that becomes aligned with us needs to know how to look after themselves, at least enough to keep them alive until one of us can get to them.” I state and take a bite of casserole, which has my eyes rolling back as it tastes that good.

Axel walks into the kitchen with Mia behind him, talking his ear off. I have to grin because when Mia came here; she was a different person than the one we see now. Having Shar come helped a lot, too. It gave Mia more confidence having her friend around.

“Morning Pres.” I say, then quickly follow with, “Morning Mia, how did your training go this morning?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Oh, Silver, it was great. I’m getting much better. Eden joined in this morning, and that was cool. It was nice training alongside another woman and she can run better than I can, I’m sure. She kept up with my pace without a word of complaint, never asked me to slow down. I was really impressed and I can’t wait to train with her again.” Mia, as always, spits all this out without taking a breath, much to Axel’s amusement. “Oh, and I punched myself in the face, so I now know how hard I can hit.”

Other brothers are coming in for breakfast hear the last of this statement and chuckle, throwing comments at Mia about her punching power while they continue filling their plates and mumbling thanks to Meat. That’s something that makes our MC a family. We don’t take each other for granted, not for long anyway, and a word of thanks or offer of help are always there.

Sitting across the table from me Axel grins, “she’s so damn full of excitement for everything, man, she brings light into our world.” Nodding I can only agree with him and to say she had been in prison for five years for something she didn’t do and to still be sweet with an inner strength says a lot for her character.

Mia places a plate in front of Axel, with portions of everything on it. I grin at him and he looks up with an eyebrow raised, then turns to Mia, “Thanks babe,” and with no hesitation, he eats.

Eden throws herself into the seat next to me, “Thanks Silver,” she says, then picks up her cutlery and makes a start on the casserole, “God, this is good.” She mumbles, then has me chuckling when she loudly shouts to Meat, “Meat, this is awesome, you’ll have to teach me and I’ll teach you the meatloaf I’ve got perfected.” Meat nods in agreement but carries on taking fresh bread out of the ovens.

Drag reaches out to touch a loaf and Meat smacks the back of his hand with a carving knife. “Don’t touch.” Drag nods and grins. He was obviously testing the water.

Eden and Mia are talking about the session they did this morning and I’m looking at Axel, who is smirking back at me. We both are thinking how damn lucky we are to have these women in our lives.

“Eden,” I say, getting her attention on me, “We’re going to the club today. I know you’re up to it, so let’s do today and see how you feel, but if you get tired tell me and I’ll bring you back to the clubhouse.”

“Oh, well, I’ve got to be here this afternoon, after lunch as I’m helping Meat. So can I go with you after that and I’ll do the evening at the club?”

Looking over at Meat, I see one side of his mouth is quirked up, so he’s heard what’s she said, but he doesn’t respond, he waits to see what I say. “Okay, you can stay until 4:00 pm, then I’ll come and get you.”

Eden kisses my cheek, gives me a broad smile, then turns to Meat, “Meat, I’m gonna be ready after breakfast if you’re up to doing it earlier?”

Mia has obviously been taking in the entire conversation and she turns to Axel, “I’m stayin’ here, I’m helping Meat and Eden.” Which has Axel looking up at Meat with a squinted eye, but he just shrugs and carries on clearing dishes that the brothers have left.

“I’ll teach you my lemon drizzle cake next Meat.” Mia states, giving him a serious look, to which he nods in agreement. Mia grins, then high fives Eden, who returns it with a giggle.

“Fuckin’ brothers, prospects at that.” Axel mumbles as he stands from the table, kisses Mia’s head then walks out of the kitchen, still mumbling under his breath.

Clearing our dishes, I take hold of Eden’s hand and lead her out of the kitchen, back to her room. Then I sit on the side of the bed and pull Eden next to me. “Okay, we need to spend more time together or we’ll never get to know each other. I’m happy for you to help Meat as long as you find time to spend with me either here or at the club.”

Eden nods. “Yeah, I’m happy with that. I just promised to help Meat when I had nothing else to do and I’m not going back on my word Silver. But I want to spend time with you, and get to know you.”

“Okay, we’ll go on a bike ride to one of my favorite spots tomorrow morning. If we make it about 10:30 am, can you be ready?” I ask, as I don’t want to pressure her to spend time with me.

“Yes, I can work with that, as I’m now doing this training in the morning with Mia. I’ll be done in time to go with you and then depending on what time we get back I can help Meat a while. I’ll even be able to come to the club if you want me to?”

“I don’t want you to be worn out Eden and we still have to find Tommo. So it’s a case of you being careful and always having someone with you until we sort him out.” I state and give her my sternest look, because I don’t want her thinking this is not serious.

Eden gives me a nod. “Yeah, I understand.”

“Okay, let’s go and you can help Meat while I go do orders for the club, I need to speak to TwoCents. But I’ll catch up with you later.” I turn into her, cup her face in my hands and lay my lips across hers, giving her a sweet kiss, then stand and wink at her before I leave the room, whistling under my breath.

Things are going along well between Eden and myself and I hope nothing happens to knock us down. Sometimes in an MC things happen beyond our control but since we ditched the club women the drama has disappeared and all the brothers seem more contented around the clubhouse.
