Healing Gabe (Last Hangman MC Book 3) (14 page)

“What are you thinking about?” Bennett thankfully brings me back to reality.

“Nothing, just lost in my thoughts.”

“That can never be good.” He chuckles.

“Dickhead,” I mutter, grinning.

“I know, but you secretly like it.” He grins and focuses on the road.

After an hour of looking around, we stop at the fifth bar and it looks perfect. It’s close to home and has a nice feel about it, the others were way too flashy and modern for me. This one looks very simple from the outside, it has big stone walls, a wooden roof, a long patio that runs along the entire front with a couple of long benches along the wall, and a couple of picnic tables at the front. I don’t see any sign showing that it’s for sale, but I’m sure there’s a reason why he brought me here.

“This one looks fucking amazing, Bennett. Why didn’t you take us here in the first place?” Nicole yells at Bennett, just as I was about to say the same thing.

“I wanted to keep this one as a surprise.” He grins, all smug and proud of himself.

“I don’t see anything saying that it’s for sale, though.” I sigh. “It’s perfect.”

“It is for sale, but
I
was thinking of buying it, you know, expand my horizons.”
That
voice,
it
chills my blood every time I hear it.

“Jared.” I say through gritted teeth.

“Viv, always a pleasure.” He chuckles darkly. I turn around and look at him. “Even more beautiful than I remember. How have you been?” he asks casually.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I’m ready to jump on him and pound the shit out of his face.

“I told you baby, I wanna buy this place.” He smirks.

“Oh, no, you won’t! It’s mine and you have no fucking business being here.” I spit at him.

“Aww, isn’t that cute. See, soon, the Kings will be stronger than the Hangman so you should side with the right club. I mean, you are still mine, I wa-”

“I never was yours!” I cut him off. “Every single time your hands were on me, I wanted to die. You disgust me. How could any woman want you? You’re a fucking sleazy, chauvinistic pig who wants nothing but power to compensate for what you lack in your pants!” I yell at him. Probably not the best idea, but I couldn’t keep it in me anymore. “You’re a fucking murderer, rapist and kidnapper. I should have done the same thing to you that I did to Trent.” I smirk at him as he pales.

“It was you? You fucking ungrateful bitch!” he yells, lunging at me, but Bennett is faster and manages to block him and land a couple of good punches in his face and stomach.

“Wrong fucking move, Bennett. You’re going to regret this. You’re all going to regret this. Especially you two.” He smirks pointing at Nicole and I. “Don’t think I don’t know who you are Nicole Lyle.” He smiles creepily and heads to his bike, driving away but keeping his eyes trained on us for as long as he can.

“I should have fucking shot him!” Bennett groans.

“It’s alright. What I said wasn’t wise.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you, even if it costs me my life.”

“Hopefully it won’t come to that.” Nicole says rather nervous. It’s not good when Jared threatens you and she knows it. I rub her back and we look at each other, sharing a silent understanding. I don’t know how much she knows about my life, but I know that no matter what happens, I’ll make sure she stays safe.

After this unpleasant encounter, we all head back to my house, the excitement of torturing Bennett with baby pictures disappeared. Ryan escorts Ayden and Nicole back home while Bennett stays with me until Gabe comes back.

CHAPTER 16

Gabe

I’m driving back to Viv’s place, fucking furious. I can’t believe who, out of all the fucking motherfuckers in the world, called me.

I park in her driveway, next to her truck and make my way to the front door, opening it without any problem, which isn’t reassuring. I’m going to have to check her locks and the house security, I’m not willing to risk anything happening to her considering she saw and actually spoke to that motherfucker Jared. I know she’ll yell at me when I tell her, but I don’t care, I’d rather have her pissed and safe than her dead.

I lock the door behind me and toss the keys on the hallway table before making my way to her bedroom. It’s 4 AM, and I don’t care if I wake her up. When he called, all I wanted to do was come back here and yell at her for not calling me, but I knew I had to calm down first. I knew my anger would make me say something I don’t mean and she doesn’t need that right now.

I watch her sleep for a few minutes. She looks so peaceful and relaxed, like nothing bad has happened to her. I want nothing more than to have her relaxed and without worry, but I also need to fucking talk to her. I join her in bed and wrap my arms around her, kissing her neck.

“Wake up, Viv.” I say softly in her ear.

“Hmmmm, go away.” She swats at me, any other time I would have found it cute, but this is not one of those times.

“Viv, wake up, we need to talk,” I say more sternly.

“What?” she groans and rubs her eyes, turning to me.

“Why the fuck didn’t you call me when Jared showed up at that bar and why in the hell were you there in the first fucking place?” I almost snarl, the rage I felt earlier resurfacing full force.

“What a pleasant way to wake up.” she says yawning and sitting up.

“Answer me.” I sit up and look at her.

She sighs. “Bennett offered to take me bar hunting and that’s when we saw him. Bennett kicked his ass. We were safe.”

“I know, he told me. Doesn’t answer why you didn’t fucking call me.”

“Because I knew better than to call you when you were doing club business. I knew either way that you would be pissed at me. It was either have you pissed at me for not telling you or because I called you in the middle of whatever you were doing and putting you in jeopardy. It was a no win situation, all I knew was that I would rather risk you being pissed at me than risk your fucking life, so excuse me for fucking caring about your wellbeing and not wanting you six feet fucking under. Happy now?”

“Yes.” I bring her face to mine and kiss her hard and rough. Too soon I have to break the kiss because the fucking minx twisted my nipple. “What was that for?” I glare at her rubbing my bruised nipple.

“I couldn’t fucking breathe!” She shakes her head and catches her breath.

“Do you have any fucking idea how worried I was about you?”

“I was with Bennett, you didn’t have to worry.” She shrugs.

“Not about that, Doll. I knew Bennett would keep you safe, even if I don’t approve of him taking you out bar hunting, but tha-”

“Why don’t you approve? It’s not like we were doing anything wrong.” She looks at me confused. She really doesn’t get it.

“Because
I’m
the one who’s supposed to take you bar hunting, not him.” I brush a strand of hair away from her face, looking at her, taking me in looking happy and confused.

“Oh.”

“Yes, oh.” I brush my lips over hers.

“I didn’t know.”

“It’s alright, we’ll go and have another look together and find the perfect place.” I smile, reassured that if she’s going to fulfil her dream of buying a bar then she’s going to stay here for good.

“I’d like that.” She beams at me, looking like a fucking angel, my fallen angel.

“I know, but back to what I was saying before you cut me off. Jared was there and saw you, Nicole and Ayd. That’s not good.”

“You think I don’t know that?” She raises her eyebrow at me. “I’m fucking fuming that he was there an-“

“And threatened you and Nicole.” I glare at her, unable to keep my emotions under control.

“I know, I was there and I’m going to fucking kick Bennett’s ass for ratting us out.”

“It wasn’t Bennett…” I look at her.

“You don’t mean…”

“Yes, Jared fucking called to tell me all about your little encounter with him. Just thinking about you being anywhere near him turns my blood to fucking ice, but to know that he’s now targeting Nic is putting me in such a state of pure rage. You and Nic are my two weaknesses. I’d give my life for either of you and he fucking knows it. Now he knows where you are, where Nicole is, I’ve failed to keep you safe.” I sigh, feeling defeated.

“Hey, it’s not your fault he’s a fucking asshole. I’d give my life for you and Nicole too. He won’t get her as long as I’m alive, I can promise you that. He’s been keeping tabs on me for twelve years, so he already knew I was here. I want this fucking nightmare over and done with. I don’t know how I’m going to do it but I will find a way to get rid of him, I’m done with his fucking bullshit.”

“He asked another club to keep tabs and scare you as part of their tests for an alliance.” I sigh, feeling defeated.

“Are they still doing it? Did they end up making an alliance with the Kings?”

“No, they watched you at first, but quickly stopped because it wasn’t worth it. Well, he actually wanted to scare you back to town so he could take you again.”

“Figured. Whatever is going to happen, we’ll face it, hopefully together. I don’t want him to be the ruler of my life anymore. If I let him, I’m as good as dead.”

“He better not come after you or Nic.”

“You know he will.”

“I know, that’s what’s scaring me. I don’t want you to go through this again and I can’t stomach the thought of Nicole going through it. She’s strong, but I don’t think she could handle that.”

“I think you’re wrong. She’s a strong young woman. Sure, she was scared with Jared’s threats, but I know if anything happens, and I really hope nothing does, she won’t go down without a fight. I know you want to protect us both, but please stay safe too in the process. I don’t want to lose you.”

“I don’t want to lose you either, Viv.” I kiss her forehead and wrap my arms around her, cuddling her to my chest.

“Who knew you could be so sweet and romantic?” She giggles and squeezes my waist.

“I hate you.” I chuckle.

“I hate you too.” She grins up at me. I brush my lips over hers and she deepens the kiss holding my face in her small hands. She nips my bottom lip. I lie down and pull her on top of me so she’s straddling me. I squeeze her hips as I open my mouth, letting her take the lead. Her soft velvety tongue slowly caresses mine, in a slow sensual dance, all the while she’s grinding her hips over my cock, driving me fucking insane.

“You do know how to drive me fucking crazy Doll.” I moan as she squeezes my cock through my jeans.

“I try.” She smirks at me shyly. She’s anything but shy in bed.

“You’re doing a fucking good job, Viv.” I stroke her cheek with my fingertips as she crawls down my body undoes my belt and lowers the zipper of my jeans, taking out my already rock hard cock.

She looks up and smirks at me before bringing her lips to my cock, sucking just the tip, gently scraping her teeth over the head. She’s going to make me explode in no time if she keeps this up.

“Easy Doll. I don’t want to come within thirty seconds.” I chuckle.

“What if I want to make you come that fast?” She raises her eyebrow, ready to accept the challenge.

“Any other time yes, but tonight, I need that sweet pussy of yours wrapped around my cock,” I say bluntly.

“As you wish.” She scoots away and takes off her shorts, not caring if she’s being sensual or sexy, which makes her even more sexy.

“You’re going to be the death of me.”

“Death by orgasm? I think there’s no better way to go than that.” She shrugs and comes back to me on her hands and knees. Her long hair brushing against my cock, making it twitch.

“I couldn’t agree more.” I bring her face to me, sealing our lips into a passionate kiss as she painfully, slowly sinks down onto my cock. She’s fucking tight. I let her take the lead. She takes her time to adjust to my size and slowly, starts to move.

“You feel so fucking good, Gabe,” she says breathlessly.

“So do you Viv.” I whisper against her lips, quickly getting rid of her night shirt. I caress her back until my hands rest on her hips and I help her ride me, while still giving her full control.

After a few minutes of slow torture, she starts to pick up the pace, raising herself nearly all the way off of my cock before slamming back down. Her boobs bounce with her movement, right in my face. I see my chance and capture one in my mouth and suck her right nipple, eliciting a long moan from her. I gently bite while rolling her left one between my fingers, and look up at her. Her face is a sight to be seen; her eyes are closed and she has a look of pure ecstasy on her face as she throws her head back as she’s bringing herself closer to her release.

I feel her thighs quivering by my sides, her movements and breathing are ragged. I flip her back onto the bed and take over, pounding into her. The sounds of our heavy breathing and flesh slapping becoming deafening the closer we get to our release.

I’m not going to last much longer. I rub her clit in small circles, matching the rhythm of my thrusts. It only takes her a couple of seconds for us to fall over the edge as we both come hard. Her back arches off the bed as her head thrashes from side to side, tears slide down her cheeks while she screams my name. Fucking beautiful. Seeing her come undone brings on my own release and I come hard in her, feeling like this moment is more life changing than I could ever imagine.

I don’t know if it’s because she instigated it, or my fear of feeling inside her, or seeing her tears as she comes, all I know, is that I never want to lose her. I need her in my life, and not just for the amazing sex.

I fucking love Viv.

I always have and always will.

At this moment, nothing else matters, it’s just me and her, at least for a little while.

I pull out of her and go to the bathroom to clean myself up. When I go back into the bedroom, she’s still lying in the same position on her back, arms and legs spread, a smile of pure happiness on her face as tears continue to slide down her cheeks. I smile watching her and clean her up gently. She’s sensitive as she twitches as I brush the warm cloth over her. I freeze as I realize that neither of us thought of using a condom. I look at her with what I’m sure is an expression of confusion, happiness and fear.

“What’s wrong?” She looks up at me. “Are you on the pill?” She shakes her head looking at me confused. “We didn’t use a condom.” I throw the cloth in the laundry bin and join her in bed, bringing her limp body to mine, wrapping the sheets around us.

“I’m clean.” she says in a soft voice.

“So am I.”

“What’s the problem then?” She looks confused.

“I’m not ready to be a father Viv, especially not with the fucking shit storm that’s going to happen soon!”

“Don’t fucking get pissed at me for that. We’ll deal with it. Don’t fucking kill my buzz. I’ve never felt this happy. So, shut up and enjoy it while we can because I’m guessing we won’t have moments like this for a while.” She groans and burrows into my side as I chuckle.

“You really are something, Viv.”

“Don’t you ever forget it, Lyle.” She looks up glaring at me, she points two fingers at her eyes and then to me in an ‘I see you’ motion before face planting my chest.

“Never.” I kiss her head and within minutes, she’s sound asleep.

I take a moment to reflect on the day, I can’t believe all the shit that happened, from taking a huge chunk of the Kings, the fucking encounter with Jared, our fight and then to us fucking like it was our last time.

I think back to the call with Jared. I still can’t believe he had the fucking balls to call me.

I’m on my way to my bike when my phone rings. I don’t check the caller ID. I never do but this time I wish I had. I thought it might have been Viv missing me and wanting to talk. When I hear who is on the line, my blood turns to ice and my heart starts to crack.
