Page 39 of In Death, Love Survives

One of my arms goes around her chest as the other travels down the length of her stomach and beyond.

“You don’t have to,” she whispers.

“Yes, I do.”

I start to play with her clit as she leans back, head slightly resting on my shoulder. Breathy moans escape her lips.

“You get so wet sucking me off.”

“I like your cock.”

“That you do.”

I strum against her clit as I massage her pussy.

“Let go for me.”

She starts to grind against my palm as I don’t let up.

“I’m…” she says.

“Come for me. Drench my hand in this pretty mess.”

“Wolfe,” she screams in pleasure.

Nova vibrates to life as she comes. Every time she grants me this opportunity, I’ll feel like the luckiest man alive.

I pull Nova out of the shower and wrap her in a towel, then do the same to myself. We get into casual clothes, ready to get some more sleep.

“Come back to bed with me?” I ask.

“I’ll sleep with you for a bit. Then I’ll probably get up.”

“As long as you’re falling asleep with me, that’s all that matters.”

I kiss the top of her head, knowing I’ll actually get some sleep.

Changing into a pair of black jeans, a black shirt, and coordinating attire, I’m ready for what’s to come.

Glancing over at Nova, she’s finishing putting her makeup on before we head out. I can’t help but take in the shape of her ass in the jeans she’s wearing. It’s plump and ready for the taking. If only we could stay home and just fucking be.

“We match,” I say.

“We’re becoming that couple.” She beams.

Nova faces me and looks me up and down, giving me a waggle of her eyebrows. I chuckle at her checking me out.

“Hey, I can appreciate what you look like,” she says with a giggle.

“Don’t worry, I like when you check me out.”

She laughs before facing the mirror again and applying her lipstick. She smacks her lips together.

My cell phone buzzes in my pocket, and when I pull it out, I see it’s Caleb.

“We’re on the way.”

“Adam’s got eyes on Toby. He’s with Sam,” Caleb shares.

“Fuck.”

“He took the bait like we thought.”

“This is a good thing.”

“Yeah, makes everything from last night worthwhile, but fuck, this kid has got a death wish.”

“He’s just playing both sides, hoping to get a good deal from whoever.”

“You’re pitying him.”

“Nah, I just know what he’s doing. But he’s going to end up back in Roper State after this.”

“Adam will let us know when they leave.”

“We’re going to head over now. Everyone else in an hour to set up positioning?”

“See you then.”

The line goes dead, and I pocket my cell phone right as Nova approaches.

“Everything good?” she asks.

“Just Toby inadvertently playing his role in the plan.”

She sighs and rubs my shoulders.

“Toby has had options.”

I try to sink into her touch but remain tense.

“I know.”

“Toby has the tools and ability to stay out of this.”

“Is Dr. Dollface coming back out?” I tease.

“I’m always going to be a doctor, you know.”

“One of the qualities I fell for, remember?”

Nova steps forward and wraps her arms around my neck.

“How could I forget?” She smiles.

“It feels like a lifetime ago.”

“No, hunny. Our lifetime starts tomorrow with this behind us.”

She gives me a soft kiss that I relish. As I pull away, a hint of a smile appears on her lips.

“You’re right, angel. Soon enough, we can build a life together.”

“Tomorrow.”

“Forever begins?”

“Yeah, Wolfe. Forever.”

I smile at this woman and know that she is truly my forever. If I live to see tomorrow, I’ve got a plan in mind.

The night sky around us is shining brightly, causing a near-perfect view. It’s a shame it’s all about to go up in flames. The world around us will be so lit up that I hope we don’t burn down anything else.

Not everyone knows the full extent of my plans.

Nova and I arrived early to pour gasoline everywhere. I didn’t want to make this part a spectacle in case someone from the Vipers is keeping eyes on the place. It’s easy enough for two people to sneak in and move about, not ten.

A few brothers will come by in an hour to set the large warehouse ablaze and get out. Once Sam and his crew arrive, it’s go time.

The police will get the anonymous call simultaneously. No one will be the wiser that we orchestrated the whole plan.

Here’s hoping the police and fire department arrive in time before anyone dies and the state of Montana goes up in flames.

It’s a fucking risky plan. I know this. I’ve lived a lot of lifetimes in my years to know that I’ll be lucky if we can just stick to the plan.

“It’s so cold,” Nova whispers as she walks around the main warehouse floor.

“Yeah, baby. It won’t be for much longer.”

“It’s creepy,” she says with a small laugh.

“Yeah, I suppose it is. I haven’t seen it this empty since the day we got it.”

“One of these days, you’ll have to tell me as many stories about the past as you can.”

She continues to take small steps around the room.

“I’d rather make better memories with you.”

Nova looks away from the damp paneling and over to me with a breathtaking smile.

“I like that idea too.”

“Get over here,” I say.

She walks over and rests her head on my chest as she wraps her arms around my waist. I fold my arms over her as I pull her body into mine.

“The calm before the storm,” she murmurs.

“It’s almost over.”

“Almost.”

I start to stroke her back lightly and feel her sink deeper into my hold.

My touches start to get harder as I begin massaging her back. She’s tense from what’s to come, and I want to offer her some relief.

Nova starts to let out breathy moans, making my cock come to half-mast.

“Baby, I’m going to want to fuck you if you keep making those tiny sounds.”

Nova stills in my hold and then pulls back.

“Why not?”

I chuckle.

“Now’s not exactly the right time.”

She cocks her head to the side and gives me a small shrug.

“It could be our last time.”

I hoot.

“My cock was down your throat this morning, angel.”

“It could be inside my pussy right now,” she counters.

I chuckle again.

“Alright, turn around, ass up. Hands on that pole. I’m going to fuck you like it’s the last day on earth for my angel and her villain.”

Nova quickly hops around and does as I ask. I unbuckle my belt and slide my pants to the ground.

I pull her jeans down to her ankles, hanging right above her sky-high heels.

“Beautiful,” I murmur as I get her perfect ass in my view.

I pull her panties down next, leaving her bare.

“Wolfe, we have to be quick. Before the brothers show up.”

“They’ll just see how fucking lucky I am that I get you.”

I stroke my cock and line it up.

Thrusting in, I grip her hips and start pounding. She screams as she gets fucked roughly.

“Yes, Wolfe. Yes.”

I pound her repeatedly as she juts her ass out, too, wanting it deeper than I’ve been going.

It’s quick and rough, messy and all-consuming at the same time.

Nova and I know each other’s bodies well by now. It doesn’t take me long to get her to come. In the future, I’ll need to fuck her slowly, make it last all night.

Given where we are, this will have to do.

I reach around and feel her tits bouncing beneath her shirt. They still feel wonderful to hold.

“Come for me, angel. Please let me feel you come one more time.”

“Yes, Wolfe. I’m so close.”

I move my hands to her hips and stare at her ass as I pull in and out of her pussy.

“One of these days, I really need to fuck this tiny little hole,” I say as I finger it.

Nova yelps but just pushes back harder on my cock.

“Perfect little holes, all ripe and ready.”

“For the perfect cock to be in.”

“I’m going to fuck your ass when we get home.”

Another thrust as she groans.

“Fuck every hole.”

Thrust.

“Every fucking day, I’m going to make you come.”

“Yes,” she screams.

Nova stills, and her body goes limp as she starts to come. I pull out and stroke my cock a few times, letting it spill on the cement floor.

She tries to catch her breath as I finally finish coming. Ordinarily, I’d paint Nova in my cum, but this isn’t the right time.

Part of me can’t believe we just fucked like this.

“I love when you get like that,” she says.

Nova pulls up her underwear as she stares my way.

I kiss the back of her neck, making her shiver.

“It’s you. Always wanting to get a quick come.”

She laughs as she pulls up her pants, and I do the same.

“I’m addicted,” she teases.

“As long as I’m the one delivering them, I can’t complain.”

After redressing, I watch as Nova ties her hair up into a high ponytail. It’s wavy and falling down the length of her back now. She looks gorgeous and almost lighter.

“What are you thinking?” she asks.

“How pretty you are.”

She blushes as she finishes tightening the ponytail.

“Ready to get to work?”

“Yeah, let’s get pouring,” I answer.

Walking over to a nearby closet, I pick up two gasoline cans. Handing one to Nova, she heads in one direction before I have a chance to say anything.

“You take over there,” I whisper-shout.

“I figured it was a divide and conquer kind of thing,” she whispers back.

“Stay vigilant.”

She waves her hand in the air, signaling she’ll be fine as she continues walking away.

I head over to the other side and start pouring gas in a line around the inside perimeter of the building. As I glance up, I notice Nova doing the same. Always in sync with one another.

Finishing up at the same time, Nova and I walk up the stairs and exchange our empty gas cans for full ones. Repeating the process, we do the perimeter of the second floor too.

“Will this be enough?”

“It should be. We can’t exactly do all the shelving and spaces.”

“Hopefully, this means it’ll send the message, but everyone will get out.”

I look at her stoically, knowing that she needs me to lead her a little to the light. Nova is a doctor; she can’t kill anyone freely. Not if she’s going to keep her same brightness.

“I promise. They will.”

She smiles warmly and continues spreading the gas everywhere.

“Wolfe,” someone shouts.

“Who was that?” Nova asks, stunned.

I wait a few beats.

“Wolfe? It’s us.”

“Be right down,” I answer.

“Ted and Caleb.”

Nova relaxes.

“Right. Of course.”

We head back toward the staircase, placing the gasoline cans down first and then making our way toward them.

“Who else is coming?”

“Just a couple others.”

“Got it.”

We take the few remaining steps to see them waiting pensively.

“Everything okay?” I ask.

“Everyone’s in place. I got word from Adam that they’re almost here.”

I glance at my wristwatch and see it’s a little after two in the morning.

“Time to take our places in here.”

“Ted and I will be up top.”

Nova’s eyes widen.

“How will you get down in time?” she asks.

“Don’t worry, they’ve got this,” I answer.

She looks tense at the idea of losing two people she’s come to trust as part of our inner circle.

“Okay. Be safe,” she says to them.

“You know it,” Caleb answers.

Ted nods and heads up the stairs first.

I stop Caleb.

“Getting out is the most important part. Don’t do anything stupid.”

“Worried about me?” He smirks.

“Yeah, I am.”

“Don’t worry. Save your girl first.”

Caleb heads up the stairs, leaving Nova and me alone.

“I’ll be over there, right?” she asks.

“Yeah. And remember, don’t try to be my hero, angel. I need to know you’re safe.”

I let out a long breath of air.

“Don’t say it, Wolfe. You know I need to be here.”

I sigh.

“Yeah, baby. I do.”

“It’s not goodbye.”

“Not in the slightest.”

“I’ll come to you. Okay?”

“Okay.”

I reach into my pocket and pull out a silver lighter.

“For me?” she asks.

“My lucky lighter for you to use. I have a different one.”

“Thank you for giving this to me.”

“I need you to be safe. I’ll take any luck I can to help accomplish this.”

“We’ve got this.”

I kiss her on the cheek.

“I know we do. Still nervous you’re here.”

“Hunny, I need this. Sam has been after me in one way or another my entire life. I need to be here, in the action, to know I took my power back once and for all.”

“I may disagree with it, but I understand. I want you to feel whole, and if this is what you need to do, then let’s fucking do it.”

She grins, knowing that I understand her completely.
