Chapter 23

Sniper – Three Days Later

I groan, feeling a warm, wet heat sliding down my cock, gripping me. I open my eyes, sleep still clouding them, but I make out the figure sucking me into her body, taking all of me.

I moan, my hands gripping my woman's hips as I realize what's pulled me from my sleep.

"Fuck, I love your pregnancy hormones," I rasp, sitting up, my eyes connecting with my beautiful woman's green ones.

She gasps, muttering, "You're still in the doghouse."

I chuckle, not believing the words she uttered. "Uh huh."

I take her lips hard.

I know she's still pissed at me, but I also know she loves me; it's why she hasn't tried to leave me; it's why she hasn't mentioned the divorce papers I tore up.

She's still punishing me, though. She'll talk to me about Autumn and what we'll need for the twins, she'll fuck me, making sure it's more for her pleasure—as it should be, and she'll let me hold her. She won't kiss me lovingly unless we're like this, she won't cook for me if Autumn demands her cooking, which is fucking torture, and she won't tell me about her day at the vet, which sometimes can be fucking annoying because one of their clients has a thing for my wife, and she's punishing me with it.

But I know I need to allow it.

I mean, I did omit being a brother, and I may have tampered with her pills and blatantly lied about who I screwed before she came. And let's not forget me being the club player, and we'll leave out me locking her up to stop her from divorcing me, which still haunts me knowing what I know now.

I'm lucky I still have my balls.

Aurora pushes her tongue through my lips, tangling it with mine, and I groan at her taste, squeezing her hips as she lifts, and then slams back down, swiveling her pelvis for friction.

I allow her to take her pleasure, gently rubbing my thumbs over her sensitive nipples for extra stimulation, making her gasp, and I swallow the sound.

Our kiss heats up as her movement quickens, her walls tightening even more around me, causing my balls to tighten.

"Come for me, Firecracker," I rasp breathlessly against her lips as I thrust up hard.

She grips my hair on the nape of my neck, and drops her head back, my lips instantly going to her neck, marking her, knowing she's still refusing to wear my cut.

"Theo!" she screams, wetness spreading between us, and I groan, holding off my orgasm until her hips slow, then carefully, mindful of her fifteen-week bump that looks like a twenty-five week, I move her onto her back. I lift her right leg and slam into her repeatedly, sending her into another orgasm, making her scream in ecstasy.

Her walls squeeze me tight, and I see stars, my balls exploding as I empty inside my girl while promising myself never to use a fucking condom again.

I groan, falling over her, my hands just catching me near her head, so I don't squish her bump.

She grumbles, "Crap, I really hope we didn't wake Autumn up; she still has another twenty minutes."

I grunt, rolling off her, bringing her with me. Her head goes to my chest, her leg in-between mine, my arm wraps around her protectively. I rasp breathlessly, "The room's soundproof…."

"Huh…" she says, then murmurs, "Well, that explains why you didn't hear me two nights ago with the clit stimulator Brook bought me…."

I grip her hair, forcing her to look at me, and she grins as I narrow my eyes and snap, "You did not fucking use a toy in our room without me here to witness it!"

She shrugs and states, "You shouldn't have lied to me."

I growl, "I didn't want to lose you."

She nods, stating, "And you didn't. You just lost the ability to have sex on your say, player."

I growl at the nickname and tickle her, making her giggle and wiggle in my arms, before she tries to push me away. I chuckle, holding her tight, and rasp, "I'll allow you to have all the power, Firecracker, as long as I don't lose you."

She hums, kissing my chest, holding me tight, and I relax.

She says she's mad, but I know she isn't, and I think, deep down, she also knows she isn't because I make her happy, which is something I've always wanted for her, and something she probably thought she couldn't have.

"I never felt like this with Autumn," she whispers.

I hum and ask, "Like what?" as I run my fingers up and down her naked spine.

"Horny," she admits, and I will my body to stay relaxed so she doesn't clam up as she continues, "I always felt dirty, like I was filth…." She looks at me, her eyes glassy. "I don't think I'm mad at you, Theo, I think I'm mad at myself. I love you so much, and I tried to divorce you out of fear instead of speaking to you. I knew your character, yet I was blinded…."

My eyes soften, and I gently roll us, and slide my member back inside her wet heat, linking our hands together near her head, and gently rubbing my nose against hers.

"Firecracker, I was never going to allow you to leave me. I need you like I need air to breathe. I thought that was obvious when I married you after only five months." She smiles, her tears falling. I kiss them away, whispering, "You need to stop beating yourself up, and start wearing my cut, because you're mine, and I love you, too…."

Her eyes glisten, and I kiss her hard, pushing my tongue straight into her mouth, and she gives as much as she gets.

Fuck, this girl consumes me….

A few hours later, I sigh, listening to Steel, Piston, and Acid, who all decided to stay in town for a few weeks, wanting to get to know my woman again and meet my daughter, which they haven't just yet because my own mother is being a grandmother bear, much to Bill's dismay. We argue with Snake and Smokey over who gets the final kill of Axe for what he did.

"He's our cousin, so this should be on us; we didn't protect her!" Piston snaps, and Snake replies, "And she's my sister-in-law, my niece's mother, and soon-to-be, most likely nephews!"

Fuck me, we're going ‘round in fucking circles.

"We need to come to a compromise," Steel tries to calm everyone down, being the mediator, but Tats snaps, "Not a fucking chance; he raped one of our fucking own."

All six of them start to talk over each other. Doc and Breaker get involved, and I snap, banging my hand on the table.

Everyone looks my way, Snake looking at me with pride as I state, "This morning, my woman finally decided to wear my patch." I look at Steel, then Piston and Acid. "I understand he's your cousin, your brother, and I understand you grew up with Rory and that you're her uncle, Steel, which, by the way, she's still struggling to understand, so I suggest you get off your ass and speak to her about that." I give him a pointed look, and he winces but nods.

I understand it. He feels guilty, but he needs to squash that for my girl because I feel guilty, and I didn't even know her then. My heart, though, yeah, it knew who she was all along.

I sigh. "She's my wife, the mother of my children, my old lady, my fucking everything. She turned my world upside down, and I don't hate it for one minute. I am telling you now, none of you will get a hit in, not even my own blood brother; my face isn't like this for shits and giggles, the sparkling new bar isn't just for you guys…."

Acid and Piston take a good look at me while Tech chimes in, "I spent two hours in the ring with him, and that was after he destroyed the common room."

Steel winces, and I rasp, "I understand he's a Huntsmen, believe me, I fucking get how hard it is to allow another club to kill a traitor, a brother you fucking trusted, when you wanted to maim them yourselves, I get it…."

Snake continues, "You all heard about Hairy, right?" They nod. "We allowed the Untamed to take him, even though he was our traitor, and I know it's not the same because Aurora is one of you?—"

I cut in, "But she's also one of us, she's also mine. The kill is mine because she's my heart and soul."

The men are quiet momentarily before Piston says, "I feel like I failed her…."

I nod. "I understand, I do, but she doesn't blame any of you. She had him in her ear for a year. He hit her, mentally abused her, and raped her every single day. She finally opened up to me this morning; he made her feel dirty, tainted, and the reason she didn't tell me until realizing about the twins was that she was scared that I'd see her that way, too, that I'd want nothing to do with Autumn." Their eyes widen. I finish off by stating, "She is my old lady, and I can honestly tell you, I haven't got it in me to allow anyone in this room to get a hit on this fucker, including my father, who sees Rory as his daughter."

Acid nods and rasps, "I want to witness it, at least; I want to hear his pathetic excuses as he pleads for his life for what he did to her. She's my fucking sister in every way but blood, and what he did…."

His words trail off, and I nod, looking at Steel. He gives me a single prideful nod, rasping, "The player became the whipped, who would have thought it?"

The brothers chuckle, and I grin before looking at Piston. He seems indecisive; I can see his brain working from here.

It takes a few moments, but he gives me a single nod and commands, "Make it fucking hurt."

I smirk and reply, "It would be my pleasure," making him grin before the church door is slammed open, and we all turn.

Phil is being held up, blood pouring from his stomach, by an emotional Cannon who rasps, "Doc, please…."

Phil's eyes start to close, and we all stand and rush toward him, but he puts his hand up weakly and whispers, "Juicy t-took R-Rory…."

Everything blackens, and the shouts sound like they're underwater as Doc runs to Phil. I make eye contact with Tech.

We both move quickly, rushing out of the room into chaos, brothers running around getting the women and children to safety, and I look around the room, my eyes catching on Autumn being held by Momma, both crying. I run over to them as Tech runs to his room for his monitors.

I feel people behind me as I reach Momma. Autumn instantly sees me, screaming, "Daddy!"

She throws herself at me, and I catch her, holding her close as Acid rasps from beside me, "Fuck, she's the spitting image of Aurora."

Autumn cries, and I look at Momma. I rasp, "I need you to take Autumn to the bunker, just until we know what's happened. If it's who I think it is, then he'll be after Autumn next."

Acid curses, "What're the odds he's been following us?"

I nod. "Most likely for years to see if she'd get in touch."

I look at Momma, and she nods with a sob, and I hold my little girl tighter, kissing her head. I whisper, "I need you to go with Granny, Princess." She keeps me close, crying louder, and I flinch.

I don't want to leave her, but I have to find her momma.

Pitbull comes up to us and gently takes Autumn from my arms, holding her close as she cries. He rasps, "Go, brother, I have her. You know I'll guard her with my life."

The pull to grab her back is strong, and feeling my hesitation, Acid grips my arm, dragging me to Tech's room, Autumn's screams hitting my ears.

With as much strength as I can muster, I storm into Tech's room, my heart in my throat, demanding, "Please fucking tell me you've found something, brother…."

He nods once, and I walk over to him. Snake is making room for me, and I look at the monitor.

The cameras show Phil watching the gate, his brows furrowed at a black Ford halfway down the road. His hand is on his piece, his other on the radio, while my girl is oblivious as she climbs into my truck to grab Autumn's princess doll.

Fuck, I was supposed to grab it before church….

It happens quickly—the black car spins toward Phil as he grabs his gun but isn't quick enough as a tatted hand reaches out the window with a pistol, shooting him. Aurora jumps, her eyes wide, and instead of running inside, she goes to run toward Phil to help him, making the men watching the video curse.

She doesn't make it as Phil screams for her to run. Juicy suddenly appears in front of her and punches her with brass knuckles on, knocking her out, and my fury builds as a man who looks similar to Acid and Piston climbs out of the car, shooting Phil again. We watch as Juicy laughs, and the man, Axe, lifts my girl bridal style, throwing her into the trunk of his car.

I snap, "Tech!"

He nods and follows the cameras after the fuckers get in the car, laughing. Tech follows them through town, and I smirk when they pull into a familiar apartment building.

"Well, he's not the fucking brightest person, is he?" I state, and Acid furrows his brows, but I shake my head. "Suit up, boys; it's time to go hunting."

"You know where that is?" Snake asks, and I nod and walk out. The men follow behind me as I state, "It's our old apartment."

Ready or not, fucker, you're dead.
