The Biker’s Mafia Princess (Angel and Savage)
Chapter 51.

Angel POV.

Ryder walks us into his room. I know Nate will look after Rebel, so I won't be too long. The door shuts softly with a click and I cling to him like a baby monkey. His scent is calming me down. Do I admit I have missed him and I know the void in my soul is because he wasn't with me? I pushed him away because I was filled with shame after my behaviour in the hospital towards him and for the things I said to him.

"Angel, princess. Tell what's on your mind?" he asks so softly it is just above a whisper. His large hand is rubbing my back soothingly. I tighten my hold on him as he sits down on the bed. I open my eyes and lean back slightly.

He reaches for my face to wipe my tears from my cheeks. His blue eyes locked on me. I stare back; I want him; I need him. He is the part that has been missing for so long. It has been like I have been in the dark not knowing where to go.

"I am sorry. I'm sorry for the way I acted in the hospital. I was embarrassed to come and speak to you. You want to know the funny thing?" he looks at me and I can see he is breaking. He swallows nervously and nods his head.

"This morning before breakfast I had made the decision to come and speak to you, then Nico received that picture and it gutted me. I, so I was ..." I choke and blink rapidly, looking up at the ceiling. Why is this so fucking hard? "I was willing to let you go. You deserve to be happy, Ryder, even if it isn't with me." I mumble the last part and he sighs and shakes his head, looking away from me.

I wiggle to move off his lap, but he holds me tighter. I look at him and his eyes are filled with something I can't describe. There is a mix of emotions in them. Pain, love, desperation.

"Angel, that will never happen. You are it for me. I love you and that will never change. So don't even suggest it. Angel, you have nothing to be sorry for. Not at all. I know why you stayed away. You were scared of what would happen. Angel, whatever happened in that barn. I don't need to know because it's in the past. What matters now is us going forward. If that means separately and that is what you want, then I will let you go. If not, then..." Fuck it.

I kiss him. The force of it forces us both down onto the mattress. His hand moves to the back of my neck, holding me in place as he deepens the kiss. Our tongues clash as we both fight for dominance. He bites my bottom lip and I moan my back arches as my core and chest push harder on to him. His hand moves to my hair and tugs painfully, breaking the kiss. My head is forced back as he kisses my throat and I move, grinding on him.

"I need you, Ryder. I need to feel you." I say breathlessly, and he groans under me with a slight growl.

"I would give you the damn world, Angel. All you have to do is ask." He says, sitting up as he flips us over. He hovers over me. His knee pushing my legs open as he settles in between them, his forearms at the side of me, keeping his weight off me. He kisses me again, but this time it's tender.

"Ryder, I love you and I have missed you so fucking much. I'm sorry." He cuts me off, his finger pressed to my lips. His eyes are black with lust. I lick the tip and suck his finger into my mouth and he groans, grinding against me.

"Fuck princess. Marry me?" I stop and go ridged. He looks down at me and I gulp. Did he? Did he just ask me to marry him?

"Shit, sorry. That was too impulsive of me." He moves back like I've just kicked him in the balls. His hand rakes through his hair. "Ryder I ..."

"No, forget I said anything. It's too soon. We need to take it slow." He says and I sigh, shaking my head. No, I don't want to take this fucking slow. Can't he see we have waited long enough already? No, it's time I take this matter into my own fucking hands. "No, Ryder. We have waited long enough. We should have done this years ago. Don't you get it? You Ryder Jackson are mine. So yes, I will marry you. We have survived everything that has been thrown at us. If you can't see that, then..."

He is on me again. He picks me up and I squeal as I wrap my legs around his waist. My back is slammed into the wall. I moan as he pins me, looking into my eyes, and I smile softly at him.

"You are mine, Ryder. You always have been. I won't wait. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the part that has been missing. I need and want you, Ryder." I say as my hand plays with his hair. "You want to do this?" he asks. He looks unsure and nervous. Scared, I will tell him no and that I was joking.

"Yes, I have never been more sure in my life. Make me yours. Make me your ole lady." He presses his forehead against mine and I close my eyes as he kisses my nose.

"Angel Maria Moretti. I have wanted to do this for so fucking long. Will you do me the honour of becoming my ole lady, my wife, my forever?" he says and I choke on my emotions as I open my eyes and look into his glistening blue eyes. "Yes, I will." He kisses me, smiling into it. I chuckle before I'm crying happy tears. He is mine, and he always has been. There is nothing that I have ever wanted more than this right here.

A knock on the door breaks our connection. He groans and I chuckle, wiping my tears.

"Ryder, we need you in the main room." The voice says, and he rolls his eyes as he places me on the floor. But not before he kisses me gently, taking my hand in his. He opens the door and we both leave his room.

He squeezes my hand, and I

squeeze back We enter the room and see the faces of all his members. Nate is sitting on one of the sofas with Rebel and Hound." Blaze smirks and winks at me, and I nod back at him. I straighten my spine and hold my head high as we stop in the middle of the room. My

eyes scan over everyone present.

I look at the new club girls and narrow my eyes slightly, telling them to try it. But they look away. Good, they will fucking learn. I won't stand for any disrespect from them, not now or in the future.

"Everyone, we have an

announcement. Rebel, can you

come here, little princess?" I smile as

Rebel runs to us as the members

move a side for her. Ryder scoops her up in his arm and she sits on his hip↓ smile at her and she winks,

well blinks at me, and I chuckle at

her.

"You all know Angel. What she did for my little princess and us all. I have asked Angel to be my ole lady and wife and she said yes." The room erupts into cheers and claps. I look at Nate and he smirks at me before he nods his head.

"The Princes Of Darkness have been

a part of my family business for as long as I can remember and I know that allegiance goes back longer. The Princes Of Darkness, the Moretti's Cartel and DeNucci's will be joined formally. You are all part of my family and have been for a long time. The bonds between us will never break, they will and have gotten stronger. Let's keep it that way. I look at each and everyone of the members and their ole ladies and their families as my family. I love you all. So what say you all? Will you accept me as a part of your

club?" I say and I wait.

"AYE!" they shout, and I smile as Ryder pulls me closer into him. He kisses me fiercely in front of everyone, and they all cheer. I break the kiss, blushing as I look at Nate and makes the gagging signal with his finger and I give him the finger. The door slams shut and everyone goes silent and the air shifts. I look and smile as I see them. My family have arrived and they look... Pissed! Oh shit!
