Page 34 of In Death, Love Survives

The three of us drive off to the clubhouse like we don’t have a care in the world, and I realize that I do feel like myself again.

Caleb, Nova, and I walk into the clubhouse. It’s not the first time Nova’s been here since she moved, but it’s one of the only times. We haven’t hosted many events, given everything that’s happening. None of the brothers have been in the mood to party hard like usual out here.

That’s what got me thinking. We’re all in a fucking slump. Operating like usual when we need to come alive.

“I’m going to head out to The Lodge, pick up a few brothers.”

“Thanks, man. I’ll place a liquor order after I see what’s running low.”

“They’ll appreciate it.”

“See you soon, Nova,” Caleb teases.

Caleb flashes a finger in the air as he leaves.

“What should we do to prep?” Nova asks.

I look over at my girl, who’s surveying the open space. It’s not much, but it works for what we need it to. That’s why I built my house the way I did, for actual comfort. The clubhouse has bunk rooms that the brothers are always welcome to stay in, and some even live here.

It’s usually the ones whose old ladies have kicked them out for the night, or they’re sleeping with strangers they don’t want to bring home—that’s their prerogative.

“Come here,” I rasp.

Nova’s head whips over to me, and I watch as her chest heaves up and down.

“What do you have in mind, pres ?”

I twitch my mouth in debate.

“You’re an awfully pretty girl to be at a place like this.” I stalk forward until I reach Nova.

“I’m here with someone else.” Her pupils dilate at the game we’re playing.

“I can keep a secret.”

I lean down and let my nose run along the length of her neck as I paw at her waist.

“Why don’t I take you back to my room? What do you say?” I whisper.

“I’d like that,” she purrs.

I scoop Nova up, causing her to yelp as I toss her over my shoulder. She clings to me as I stalk toward the spare rooms.

She laughs freely as I kick open a door with my foot, all while holding the bag.

“Easy there,” she says.

I set her down on her feet, dragging my hands up her waist as I go.

“Wolfe,” she says breathlessly.

I let go of her and immediately feel the loss. But I know Nova will find my idea thrilling.

I open the garbage bag of money and shake it all out on the bed.

“What are the odds this bed is clean?” she teases.

“It’s good. It’s technically mine.”

She places her hands on her hips and looks at me skeptically.

“Is that so?”

I laugh.

“Don’t get jealous. I haven’t used this room in a long time. The brothers know to stay the fuck out of it. Now get back into your role.”

She laughs as she straightens upright.

“Are you going to fuck me on this pile of money?” Nova steps forward and rakes her red-painted nails down my chest.

“Would you like that?”

Her hand rests on my chest before she pushes me down. I land on the bed, and she straddles my hips.

Nova wraps her arms around my neck as her ass settles into place. I grip it automatically, keeping a firm hold on it.

“I would.”

“Give me a show then, baby.”

Nova gets up and stands before me.

Slowly, she lifts the crop top overhead and then tosses it at me. I catch it overhand. She then kicks off each wedged shoe before shimmying out of her tiny skirt. It falls to the ground on top of her shoes.

“Do you like what you see?” she asks sultrily.

“Come here.” I quickly discard my T-shirt overhead and kick off my boots, followed by my jeans. She smiles at my eagerness as she waits to make her next move.

Nova struts back in front of me, and my hands grip her ass. I can’t get enough of this ass paired with these long legs.

I lower onto my back, taking Nova with me as I do. She naturally falls into place, with one leg on either side of my body.

“Take off the bra,” I demand.

She reaches behind her back and snaps the new bra off.

“I think that one’s my favorite,” I say.

She rolls her eyes playfully.

“You say that about all of them.”

“Maybe they all are.”

She leans forward, and her tits rest on my chest. I love the feeling of being bare against her warmth.

“Kiss me like you mean it.” She moans against my mouth and starts to grind her hips on my cock.

I lean forward slightly and take her mouth roughly; she deepens it as she continues to grind.

The money covering the bed starts digging into my back. Ordinarily, I’d say this is uncomfortable, but how can I complain when I have this woman riding the outside of my cock?

“Baby, take my boxers off. Your panties too.”

She pulls back and pops off me for a moment to drag her underwear down, and then my boxers.

My cock springs to life, already weeping from her small thrusts.

“Up,” she demands.

I chuckle as I get up.

I drink in her naked body.

“Goddamn. I’ll never get used to seeing you.”

She flips her long blonde hair over her shoulder and then crawls onto the bed seductively until she’s on all fours, then pushes her ass out.

The hundreds crinkle beneath her as she adjusts her body.

“You like being spread out on display for me, baby?”

“Anything for you.”

“I like the sound of that.”

Closing the distance, I press my waist into her ass. She moans from the touch.

“You know, I never did get to punish you for your misbehaving that night with the vibrator.”

My palm gently caresses one of her ass cheeks, followed by the other. She shakes with need, trying to get more.

“What do you have in mind?” she huskily asks.

“How about we count to ten. What do you say?” I grip one of her ass cheeks in my palm tightly.

“Fuck…”

“I think my baby would like it.”

She nods frantically.

“Yes. Please,” she begs.

Nova sticks her ass out more and puts her face down toward the bed of money.

“Count them.”

I slap her ass, and she yelps before it turns into a moan. I gently rub the sting away.

“Don’t forget to count,” I rasp.

“That was one.”

I slap the opposite ass cheek.

“Two,” she says.

I repeat it a few more times, a small slap followed by a gentle caress.

“I bet if I felt your pretty pussy it would be dripping wet.”

“Why don’t you find out?” she says.

“Punishment over,” I announce. I would really like to do that.

I reach around and find her pussy soaked.

“You liked that.”

“I loved it.”

She starts to hump my hand as I massage her clit.

“I’m going to fuck you.”

I remove my hand and line up my cock from behind, still standing on the ground.

I thrust in and hold onto her hips as I repeatedly drive into her. One thing I’ve learned over the past few weeks is how my girl likes to be taken. She likes it rough most of the time, and I crave giving her anything she wants.

“Yes. Keep going,” she shouts.

Her hands tighten on the sheets and money as she continues to pant with each thrust.

“You’re so tight, every fucking time. I can feel your pussy contracting around my cock.”

Nova moans loudly, even as the party is going off all around us now.

“You trying to milk my cock, baby? I’m dying to pour into you.”

“Yes, fill me up, Wolfe.”

“Come with me,” I demand.

“I’m… I’m…” She huffs and then screams.

I come into her pussy and fall on top of her back to rest as my cum continues to leak down her leg.

I stare at it, already getting slightly stiff from watching it drip down.

Nova twists on the bed, turning back to face me, causing me to fall off her back and onto the bed. She collapses beside me.

We’re both out of breath, panting, trying to get back to normal. The high of being with this woman is addicting.

Nova starts laughing next to me and turns to rest on one side of her body, facing me, with her head resting on the palm of her hand.

The crinkling of the money surrounding us distracts our gaze for a moment.

“Lying on money isn’t exactly what I pictured it to be,” she says with a small laugh.

“It fucking hurts,” I joke.

“It really does. Want to get up?”

“Yeah, let’s head back out there.”

We quickly get up and dress, then gather the money and put it all back in the bag. I’ll give it to Caleb to do something with. It’s got to be less than a few grand, nothing of real value to the club.

The party is already going off all around us as we leave the room. At least none of the brothers and their guests were waiting on me to place that liquor order. No one even realizes I’m not there.

I tighten my hold on Nova’s hand as we move through the sea of people smoking and drinking. Some of them say hi as we pass, and others try to get our attention. I nearly kill a man trying to get Nova’s until he realizes she is holding my goddamn hand.

We approach Caleb, who’s standing around with Eddie, Ted, Jake, Adam, and someone I can’t make out. Ted notices us first, and his face pales.

Everyone looks serious as they one by one turn to face us.

“What’s going on?” Nova whispers.

“We’re about to find out.”

We close the remaining distance, and Caleb nods before giving us space to join their circle.

“What’s with all of this?” I ask.

That’s when I spot the man of the fucking hour.

“Toby.”

Nova’s expression falls as she scoots her body into mine.

“I’m out. Came to cash in on your promise once I was free,” Toby says to me.

He looks over at Nova, and a wide smile stretches across his face.

“Dr. Fletcher. I barely recognized you.”

“Toby. You’re free?” she asks, confused.

“Good behavior.”

“Oh, well, that’s wonderful.”

“Nova, baby, why don’t you go get us a couple of drinks?”

Knowingly, she agrees and leaves the circle.

“What the fuck are you doing here after ignoring Eddie’s calls? That doesn’t feel like you want to be part of our club.”

“Hey, man, I wanted to talk to you. And only you.”

I look over at Caleb, who doesn’t seem to have known that. Then over to Eddie, who’s nervously twitching, looking at the ground.

Fucking Eddie.

“What is it?”

“I want protection.”

I throw my hands in the air.

“From fucking who?” I shout.

“The Vipers.”

I sigh and scrub a hand down my face.

“Tell me what you know first.”

“They’re planning something big. I don’t know what, but man, that guy Sam Snow back at Roper State fucking hates you. This is personal, man. You better watch your back.”

Sam fucking Snow.

“Are you telling me to watch my back?” I step up.

Toby backs away.

“Not at all. I heard just enough to know they’ll want to kill me.”

“What are they planning?”

“They’re going to take you down. They’ve been taunting you now, but it’s coming. Haven’t you felt the quiet?”

Felt the quiet. Of course I have. It’s been a loud fucking silence.

“When?”

“Soon.”

“Not good enough.” I sigh.

“I heard this week. Maybe next. Maybe the following.”

“So you have nothing.”

“Look, I’ll try to find out more. They don’t know about my… ties just yet.”

“You find out, and you tell me. You can stay here at the clubhouse until we decide what to do with you, alright?”

“Thank you,” Toby says, breathing out a loud sigh of relief.

“Don’t get too comfortable. We need more than that.”
