Reaper Chapter 21
I made the decision not to split the hunting party into two groups. By not doing that, I knew we ran a small chance of Serpent getting away, but I didn’t think he’d run. He was too obsessed with Cheyenne to do that. He might lie low for a little bit, but not leave all together. And now we knew the two prime places he’d likely do it.
I figured they’d assume Officer Long had died when Alisse shot him. So, with this in mind, we went to the cabin out in the country first. If he wasn’t there, we’d hit up Loco’s place in town. As we rode, I thought of the things I wanted to do to Serpent when I got my hands on him, and how we could cover up that a police officer had gone missing. I’d have to find out if he told the department he was coming out to question Cheyenne. I doubted it. If he did, then when she went missing, he’d be asked about it.
The ride out wasn’t over fast enough for me. The desire to hurt him and his crew was growing in me. While I’d been in the SEALs, I’d done what was necessary. I did it without emotion or regret. But in this case, I was discovering again what it felt like to want to take someone’s life and to enjoy it. That had only happened one other time when my sister had been targeted by an outlaw biker club. It was a little startling to discover that when it came to your family, you’d want vengeance and not just justice. Did that make me a cold-blooded killer? Maybe. But it was something I could live with and not lose any sleep over.
We’d agreed before we left on a spot to stop before getting to the cabin. We didn’t want to give them a warning that we were coming. If we could sneak up on them without getting any of us hurt, that was the way to go. We stopped and got off our bikes. All of us pulled out our various weapons and equipment. It wasn’t quite dark, so we wouldn’t need any night vision. Braxton parked the truck beside us. He’d come along to transport the bodies back to the compound. The truck he was driving had a covering over the bed of it.
“We’re going in two teams. You guys go with me.”
I pointed to several guys. “The rest, go with Maniac. Long said it had a back door and an outbuilding. My team will take the back. We need to clear that outbuilding first. As soon as that’s done, if we don’t have them, we breach the cabin. I want at least one of them alive. Preferably Serpent, but any will do.”
They chuckled, giving me understanding looks.
“If they’re not here, we ride back to town and hit Loco’s. I want this done tonight. Any questions?”
I knew we’d covered most of this already, but it was standard operating procedure to go over things more than once. Another lesson learned from my days in the military. If we’d had time, I’d have run mock drills with them. No one said anything and all of them nodded. “Good, let’s go.”
We quietly crept through the woods and up to the cabin. Twilight had fallen and I could see what might be a faint light through the curtains in one of the windows. Circling my finger, I signaled my group to circle to the back. Maniac’s guys would hold at the front until he got the signal from me to move in on the cabin.
Behind it, I saw an old outbuilding maybe three hundred yards off in the woods. I indicated for half to stay by the back door and the rest of us surrounded the outbuilding. I reached out and slowly pushed open the rickety door. A quick look around showed that it was empty. I gave a low bird call. We eased back and joined the others at the back door.
Getting into position, I gave another call, and then counted down to three. When I hit three, I kicked in the back door and we scattered. Some went left, some went right and crouched down. The automatic response would be to shoot at chest height. That second of delay could save our lives and give us the advantage. Maniac and his guys came in from the front two seconds after us. We were careful not to shoot each other.
Luckily for us and unluckily for them, Serpent and his guys were all sitting around getting high. They had been drinking and their guns weren’t even out. They jumped up in surprise, but they were too late. We surrounded them and disarmed them without them ever getting off a single shot. I walked up to Serpent. He stood there looking arrogant, like he didn’t have anything to be scared of. He was either overconfident in his club’s ability to protect him and save him, or he was that much of a psychopath.
He sneered at me. I fought down the urge to break his jaw. I needed him to talk, then I’d break it, along with every bone in his body. “You’ll never get away with this. My club will come for me. My dad is the president of the Soldiers of Corruption. You don’t know who you’re fucking with.”
“No, you don’t know who you’re fucking with. But you will before I’m done. I promise you, Serpent, you’ll beg me to kill you. Your whole club will die and it’ll be ugly. You deserve nothing less for the evil you’ve done. Hell, just what you’ve done to your own women and children warrants that. When I add in all the other people you’ve hurt and destroyed, the jury has rendered a decision already. Death with no chance of parole,” I hissed.
I turned to my brothers and friends. “Tie ‘em up and gag ‘em. Let’s get these animals back to the compound.”
They tried to fight, but they were too outnumbered. It earned them a few bruises. Serpent yelled at me as I turned my back on him. I knew it would piss him off to have me dismiss him like he was nothing. I was already starting the mental game with him.
“She’ll be mine! She’s always been mine. Don’t think this means I’m done. Cheyenne has been mine since she was ten. No one can take her away from me,”
he yelled. The thought of him lusting after her since she was a kid made me sick. I looked back at him.
“No, she’s not. She’s mine, Serpent. I’m the one who’s marrying her. The one who put that baby in her belly.”
He growled at me when I said that. “And I’m the only one who will ever be inside that body. I’m the one who makes love to her every night.”
He lunged at me and screamed. The look of insanity was all over his face. Talking about Cheyenne was the key to breaking him. Bingo.
“I’ll kill you, motherfucker! I’ll kill you! She’s mine!”
He screamed until they slapped duct tape over his mouth. They had the others gagged and zip tied. I took out my phone and texted Brax to bring up the truck. Time to get back. As some of us worked to truss them up, the others searched the cabin to see if there was anything here that might tell us something about the Soldiers and their plans. A couple of notebooks were found, and we took those to look through. A laptop was on a desk in the corner. We took that along with their phones.
Ten minutes after we entered the cabin, we were leaving. There were too many of us to ride in the truck, so we hiked back to the bikes and then left together. We made sure to obey every speed limit sign the entire way back. We didn’t want to get pulled over for something like that and be found to have four men tied and gagged in the back of the truck. That would suck.
It was eight at night when we got back. I had Brax and a couple guys take them out to the bunker. They would get them down there with Long and secure them, so they could be guarded. I wanted them to stew for a while before I questioned them. They were too ready for it right now.
After a quick update to those standing guard at the front, I went to the house. Cheyenne was there, and I needed to have her in my arms. Leaving earlier after what had happened had killed me. I’d just wanted to stay here and hold her. The thought that I could have lost her and maybe forever had scared the hell out of me.
When I entered the house, I found Alisse sitting on the couch watching television. She got up when she saw me. “She’s lying down taking a nap. She’s been asleep for over an hour. She’s trying to hide it, but it shook her up, Reaper. I’ll leave you two alone. If you need me, just text. I’ll be at the clubhouse.”
I touched her arm to stop her from going. “I can never thank you enough, Alisse. You saved Cheyenne and my life. If I’d lost her, I don’t know what I would have done.”
I eased her into my arms and hugged her. She hugged me back.
“You would have kept searching for her until you found her, Reaper. I know that much. She’s become my family. I love her too. No way was I going to let that freak take her and do God knows what to her. You want to repay me? Then make her happy for the rest of her life and we’ll call it even.”
I chuckled. “Deal. Now, get out of here. Ink is fine and at the clubhouse.”
“And why would I care?”
she asked as she walked out the door.
“Oh, that’s right. Why would you?”
I teased. She looked at me and gave me a faint smile then left. Yeah, my brother, Ink, had his hands full with that one, but I was certain she was his perfect match. Just like Cheyenne was mine.
I took off my colors, boots and socks then crept upstairs. I didn’t want to wake her up. Inside our room, I found her curled up in the bed. I stripped off the rest of my clothes and crawled under the covers with her. I should probably take a shower, but I needed to hold her more. I gently pulled her into my arms. She snuggled closer. I closed my eyes and relaxed.
I woke up later. I had no idea what time it was, but I knew she was awake. The covers were at the bottom of the bed and she was straddling my legs. Her mouth was snug around my cock. She was taking me deep, her fist tight at the base. I groaned and my hips raised up off the bed. God that felt so good.
I threaded my fingers through her hair and then lifted it up, so I could see her face. The faint light from the bathroom let me see her face. She looked up at me as she moved up and down my length. Seeing my cock stretch her lips like that made me harder. Her eyes were full of love and lust.
As she worked me in and out, her breasts swayed. Her tight nipples teased me to touch them. I cupped her breast and squeezed before tweaking the hard nub. She jerked and hummed. The sensation that sent down my cock had me groaning again. “Baby, that feels amazing. But if you keep that up, I’m gonna fill that pretty little mouth. Wouldn’t you rather have me fill something else?”
She slowly raised up and let my cock go with a pop. It sent shocks through the sensitive head. “I’ll do whatever makes you the happiest, Holden. Do you want to come in my mouth, my pussy, or my ass?”
Hearing her offer me whatever I wanted made me moan. The image of doing all three flashed through my head. If only I could do her in all three holes at once.
“I’d love to do all three at once, but that’s not possible. Why don’t you turn around here and let me taste that pussy while you play a little longer? Then I want you to take me in that hot pussy.”
She crawled up and turned to straddle me, so I could see her dripping wet pussy. I gripped her hips and pulled her down on my mouth. She moaned and ground against my mouth and beard.
I worked to get her to come as quickly as possible. I licked those folds and teased her clit with my tongue and teeth. My fingers thrust in and out of her pussy as I devoured her. Her juices filled my mouth. I couldn’t get enough of the taste or smell of her. While I worked her, she didn’t stop torturing me. She got me close to coming a couple of times, then she backed off. By the time she came, I was almost insane to be inside of her.
I waited until she was starting to recover then I spun her off me and onto her knees. I got up on my knees behind her. “Hold on to the headboard, Chey. This is gonna be hard and fast.”
She whimpered but did as I asked. Her breathing picked up.
I spread her cheeks, so I could see her opening. I lined myself up and then slammed into her hard. She cried out in pleasure as her pussy took me. The tightness around me felt like a slick fist. As I bottomed out, I held for a second and then pulled back. Then it was a full out assault. An assault to get her off again and to come myself. I needed to mark her with my seed again and again, even if my baby was already growing inside of her.
My pelvis slapped into her ass over and over. I rubbed her ass cheeks and then smacked down hard. She jerked and whimpered. Her pussy clenched down on my cock. I wanted to howl, it felt so damn good. As I rode her and spanked her, I growled, “I can’t wait to see clamps on those nipples and clit. Would you ever consider getting them pierced?”
She moaned and then nodded. “Yes, I would. I heard it makes things more sensitive, so I’m not sure if I can survive that.”
I laughed. “Yeah, I heard that. Tell you what. You get that done and when the baby comes, I’ll get my cock pierced. That way it has time to heal. Wouldn’t that feel great, to have my pierced cock rubbing inside of you? God, I can feel it now,”
I whispered. And I could. I’d never wanted to have my cock pierced, but if it brought her more pleasure and ultimately me, then I was all for it. Her answer was to scream and then clench down on me as she came. Her pussy milked me hard. I growled and then I was coming, grunting with each spurt of my cum. By the time we were both done and floating in the post-orgasm bliss, I had to lie down beside her. My knees were shaking. She lay down in front of me so I could spoon her.
I kissed up the back of her neck to her cheek. She turned her head so I could kiss her mouth. “I love you, Banshee.”
“I love you too, Holden. I assume everything went alright, since you’re here.”
“It did. We found them. I’ll be talking to them later.”
She gave a humorless chuckle. “Yeah, I can only imagine what that ‘talking’ will look like.”
I gazed down at her. I couldn’t tell if the thought of me torturing them upset her. “Baby, I have to get that information. More importantly, I need to make sure Serpent can’t ever threaten you again. He’ll never stop any other way.”
She turned over onto her back, so she could see my whole face. Her hand ran down my nose and lips.
“Honey, I have no problem with how you decide to question him or eliminate him. Don’t think that. I’m not going to judge you. He and that club have caused too much pain and suffering over the years to be allowed to walk free, even if it’s in a prison. All I want is for it not to affect you later.”
“Bright Eyes, I hate to say it, but this doesn’t bother me. It’s a big reason I’m called Reaper. Nothing is too much to protect my family. But enough of that, did you eat dinner?”
She shook her head. I looked at the clock. It was eleven at night. I thought of the places still open. Not a lot but I could get her something to eat.
“Chey, you need to eat. Skipping meals isn’t good for you or the baby. Come on, let’s grab a shower. While we do, I’ll have someone go get us something to eat. Does a chicken sandwich and salad sound good? Anything else?”
“No, that sounds good, though ask them for two salads.”
I gave her a kiss and then hunted my phone out of my pants. I sent the text off to Carter. He responded right away and promised to get it to us as fast as possible. I gave him both our orders then I got up. I helped her off the bed and into the bathroom. We had enough time to take a long shower.
