Mad Dog (Angel’s Rebellion MC: #2) (Angel's Rebellion MC), стр. 92
Sometimes the things life threw at you were fucking hard to deal with. Lord knows I’ve struggled with my own personal demons. But I’ve noticed in the last three months that while the pain of Brian and Mason’s deaths would always be there, my heart was blossoming again. I felt whole again. Happy. Being with Dog had done that. He was good for me. I just hoped I was equally as good for him.
Almost as if he knew I was thinking of him, he turned and drew my head to him. He lightly kissed my lips and whispered into my ear, “I love you, babe.”
I reached up and caressed his face and ran my finger over his bottom lip. “I love you, too,” I whispered back to him.
He smiled at me, then looked over to the bar and nodded at someone. I turned to watch Ghost head our way carrying a box. I had no clue what was going on, but people started turning our way as Ghost handed the box to Dog.
“What's going on?” I whispered to him.
He smiled at me, “Ava, asked the guys at Church to vote on something tonight. They did and the vote was unanimous. Babe, I know it's only been a few months, but I fucking know you're it for me. You've brought sunshine back into my days and lovin' into my nights. For the first time in years, I feel really alive. It's like I'm seeing things for the first time all over again. You do that for me. Don't want to lose you, want to make you mine forever.”
I watched as he opened the box and pulled out a black leather cut. He stroked the patch on the back that said, 'Property of Mad Dog'.
He raised his head and looked into my eyes, “Ava, I fucking love you with everything inside me. If you'll have me, I want you to be my Old Lady.”
I hadn't thought anything about being his Old Lady. Hadn't really thought past each day, but this felt so good, so right, and I fucking loved him too.
“Will you wear my cut saying that you'll be mine?” his eyes were silently begging me to say yes.
I swallowed a lump in my throat and with tears rolling down my face, I replied, “Oh, fuck yes, I will.” Then I launched myself at him and kissed him for all I was worth as everyone in the room looked on and cheered.
At this moment in time, life was pretty fucking great.

It is strange, but true, that the most important turning-points of life often come at the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected ways.

I stripped out of my clothes, put on the lovely paper gown backwards, and sat on the examination table as I waited for Doc to be done with Mia and Jennie. I'd already peed in the cup, so now I was just waiting for my turn with Doc. Oh the lovely joys that a woman must face.
Men so don't know how invasive it was to have either a male or female doctor feel them up. I know it was their job and I know the reason behind it, but that didn't mean I had to like it. I didn't. And yeah, yeah, I know, some men get prostate exams, but realistically women have more people looking at her vagina than there were licks to a Tootsie Pop.
After what felt like forever, Doc entered the room.
“Ready for this?” she asked me.
I laughed.
“Not really. I've always hated this.”
“Don't blame you. I personally hate it as well. But at least Honey does mine, so it's not quite as bad.”
As she was putting on gloves, she said, “Lie back and scoot down some.”
When I had done what she said, she tapped my left leg, “Put this foot in the stirrup, then do your right one.”
Once I had done that, she said, “Scoot down just a little more. Okay good. Try to relax while I examine you.”
She snickered then commented as she manipulated my breasts, “If it helps, stare at the picture above the exam table.”
I hadn't paid any attention to the fact there was a poster above the bed. I started laughing.
“What the hell? Is that normally there?” I inquired of her.
She chuckled. “Nah, Honey put it up there last night because she knew we were doing this today. She's planning on taking it down before we start work Monday,” she said as she started the examination in my nether regions.
“Doc, I really think you're onto something. Looking at all those firefighters' abs is seriously diverting my attention.”
“Yeah, it could do that,” she sounded distracted.
A second later she pulled her hand out and her gloves off.
“Okay, all done. I need to run check your urine test real quick, then we'll talk. Oh, you can go ahead and get dressed too.”
Like a whirlwind, she was out the door. I got up and pulled the offending paper gown off and threw it back on the table. By the time Doc walked back into the room, I was once again dressed. Now just to get my birth control and be on my way.
“So, I was thinking I would take the pill, unless you thought an IUD would be better. Hmm, maybe it would be, because then I wouldn't have to worry about taking anything. What do you think, Doc?”
“I think we need to talk, Ava,” she said.
I sank down onto the chair. “Is something wrong? Did you feel a lump or something in there?”
“Nothing like that. You said you've been having your period, right?”
“Yeah, they've been lighter, but occasionally I do that, off and on.”
She nodded at me.
“Have you been feeling more tired, sleepy, nauseated?”
“No, I've been feeling great. I've had a ton of energy lately and
