Forgiving Nancy (Last Hangman MC Series Book 5) (18 page)

“I’m trying.” I sigh.

And I am trying, but it’s tough when you know that people are keeping a secret so monumental that everyone seems to think will push me over the edge. I wish I could just focus on Nancy, but getting payback on whoever hurt her is just as important. It’s my right to avenge her.

CHAPTER 24

Nancy

We all eat dinner together and chat about random stuff. It was a good distraction from the impending doom that is tomorrow and I’m glad I finally got to hang out with all of them at the same time. They are such a hilarious bunch of people and I’m terrified of potentially losing any of them tomorrow. Hiding the truth from Bennett is breaking my heart but it’s for the best. Neither me or the guys think that he would be able to cope if he knew.

I’m sure tonight was a good distraction for him too, he seemed to relax as we ate and when everyone quizzed us about how we met and as well as my relationship with Callum. Bennett started to seem like his old jokey self that I used to know, instead of the more serious Bennett he is at the moment. I’m pretty sure half of them still think that something more happened between me and Callum which I find hilarious. The man is hot, but he’s not Bennett.

After dinner we said our goodnights and all retreated to the bedrooms upstairs. I’m currently lying on the bed with my head resting on Bennett’s stomach as he plays with my hair. If he keeps going I’m going to fall asleep in a second.

“This is so relaxing,” I sigh happily.

“For me too.” I hear him whisper sleepily.

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’m trying to put all of the bullshit that’s going to go down tomorrow out of my mind, at least for now.”

“That’s good, Bennett.” I lift and turn my head to smile at him and crawl up the bed to kiss him.

“How are you feeling?” he asks as he strokes my cheek affectionately.

“I’m good.”

“Are you really?” he presses.

“Yeah, I mean I’m not happy knowing that they’re all going after that dangerous fucker and putting themselves at risk, but it needs to be done.” I shrug.

“How are you coping with it all?”

“I think I’m okay. I mean, some of the bad memories creep up on me when my mind is empty and invade my thoughts, but other than that I’m alright. I wish I could forget about it altogether, but I know it’ll take time until I can put it behind me. I’m safe with you lot and that’s making it easier to relax and start to mend myself.” I smile.

“I’m glad, I’m still afraid you’re going to shut down on me though.” He sighs.

“Tonight?”

“No, in general. I keep thinking that you’re going to become a shell and that it’ll take me forever to get you back.” He chuckles.

“Oh, so it would be too much work for you to try and get me out of that shell, huh?” I raise my eyebrow at him.

“No, that’s not what I meant, fucking hell.” He groans in frustration. “What I meant was that with what you’ve been through and then suddenly having all of us around you, you could have shut yourself off from the world. I’m not sure I’m making any sense.” He groans.

“I know what you mean. I wasn’t too sure what to expect. I thought you were going to be just as bad as them and that I was going from one prison to another. In a way, I’m glad that it was Gabe who brought me to the compound and that you spent the night at Callum’s cabin. I don’t think it would have done us any good spending that evening in each other’s company. I was a mess and having Gabe driving me to the compound and talking to the girls was just what I needed that night. I could actually feel the rage emanating from you that evening, it was a little scary and well Gabe’s calming superior gorgeous presence helps everyone.” I chuckle.

“Fuck off! I was ready to bash Gabe’s face in.”

“That would have sucked, he has such a pretty face.” I tease.

“Do you seriously find all of my friends hot?” He frowns.

“Yeah.” I grin innocently.

“Fuck’s sake.” He groans.

“You can’t blame me, don’t try and tell me you that don’t find the girls attractive?” I give him a pointed look.

“Fair enough,” he begrudgingly admits through gritted teeth.

“I win!” I sit up and throw my hands in the air in victory. Less than two seconds later, I’m pinned underneath Bennett’s amazing body.
Double win!

“No, I win.” He smirks and lowers his face to mine before kissing me deeply.

“I want you to touch me, Bennett,” I whisper huskily.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I need you.” I bring his lips to mine and kiss him with all the passion I have inside me. His mouth opens and he flicks the tip of his tongue over my lower lip, I part my lips and his tongue immediately starts caressing mine. I moan into the kiss and grind my hips against his.

As he’s slowly stripping me, he licks down my neck towards my still covered boobs. He fiddles with the front clasp of my bra for a second before removing it slowly and throwing it away. He kisses his way between my boobs and down to my stomach where he kisses my belly button.

His mouth leaves my skin and I moan at the loss of his touch until I feel his fingers slowly unbutton my jeans before pulling them down my legs, all the while his gaze never leaves mine. He throws my jeans and panties somewhere behind him and spreads my legs. I know it’s Bennett, but I feel so exposed. I know I was the one who took control the last time, but this is so much more than just a quick fuck.

He crawls between my legs and brushes his fingers over my swollen lips, making me shiver and moan in pleasure. His fingers keep teasing me as his tongue trails back up to my boobs. He sucks my nipple into his mouth and nibbles it gently.

I lift my head and pull his face towards me so I can kiss him. I notice that he’s fully dressed and that needs to change right now. I pull off his t-shirt and plant soft kisses all over his chest. I throw his t-shirt to the side and take a second to look at him. He looks beautiful in a rugged way. His chest and arms are covered in ink and it makes him all the more glorious. I grin innocently as my hands travel down his tattooed body of their own accord until I reach his belt. I undo it and pop open the buttons of his jeans before lowering them just enough for his cock to jump to attention.

I slowly caress his hard dick as I keep eye contact with him. I move out of the way and push him down onto the bed. He complies on falls backwards onto the bed, looking at me with a look of adoration on his face.

“I love you,” he whispers as he brings his lips close to mine.

“I’ve loved you since the first day we met.” I smile and brush my lips over his.

“Fuck, Nancy.” He groans.

He rolls over, taking me with him so I’m underneath him. He kisses behind my ear as he settles between my legs. My breath hitches as he caresses my stomach with his fingers. I’m desperate for him to go lower, but he doesn’t and just looks at me with a smug expression on his face. I try to move my body closer to him to get some kind of friction and relief but he keeps still. It’s like he wants to see how long it’ll be until I beg, which at this rate is going to be in two seconds if he carries on like this.

He sits back on his heels and I close my legs, if he’s not going to get on with it then he’s not going to see shit. Unfortunately the crafty bastard is stronger than me and opens my legs without any struggle. He caresses the inside of my legs slowly, traveling to the apex of my thighs and back down to my ankles. He tugs so my legs are around him his waist and I’m flush against his cock.

I grind against him as I let out a long moan of desperation. I need him inside me so badly and I know that he feels the same. He matches my movements and grinds against my sensitive clit. Luckily this torture doesn’t last long because he lies me back down on the bed before covering my body with his. He strokes my cheek with his knuckles as he balances himself on his left arm. He slowly teases my opening with his cock before I buck my hips, making him go deeper.

We both groan in pleasure and frustration as he finally, but slowly, inches into me. He slowly withdraws before quickly thrusting back in, burying himself to the hilt. He stays buried in me for a couple of seconds before finally moving again. We move together, meeting each other’s thrusts and I start to feel faint from the pleasure.

I throw my head back as the intense bliss threatens to overwhelm me and he buries his face in my neck. He nibbles and licks at my soft skin, making my skin break in goosebumps. His pace quickens and his thrusts become erratic as he’s getting close too.

Our bodies are covered in a light sheen of sweat and our breaths are ragged. We’re both really close to falling over the edge of the most intense orgasm I might ever have. It doesn’t take long for our orgasms to take over, a couple more thrusts and we moan longingly and loudly as we both come.

After a few minutes, he pulls out of me and we both moan at the loss. He disappears into the bathroom and returns with a warm wet cloth. He cleans me thoroughly and returns the cloth to the bathroom before he comes back to bed and cuddles me. No words are spoken, none are needed in this moment.

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but at least tonight had the perfect ending. I’m dreading tomorrow, I don’t know if the guys will all make it out of this hell I’ve thrown them into unscathed.

CHAPTER 25

Callum

Today is the day we take that fucker down and I hope that it’s me who gets to do it. I couldn’t sleep last night because I couldn’t stop thinking about the first time I saw Nancy. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been attracted to her because she’s fucking hot with the perfect body. She has an amazing personality and the sweetest nature but I knew from the beginning that her heart was taken and a part of me was grateful, I couldn’t let myself go there, it would feel like I was emotionally cheating on
her
. I needed someone to unload my shitty past on and she was more than willing to take the burden. She’s become like a little sister to me now and anyone who has hurt her is in for a nasty fucking surprise.

I could have taken the bastard behind her kidnapping a long time ago or told Bennett about him when he joined the MC and maybe I should have. But Nancy begged me not to do anything, she didn’t want me to get hurt even though her being in that place was killing me. How she got out of it mentally and somewhat physically unscathed I’ll never understand, but I’m glad she’s finally out of that hellhole.

Today is the day.

The day I finally get to put that fucker down.

I’m sat on the porch in the early hours of the morning, waiting impatiently for everybody to wake up and get ready. I’m anxious to get started and am tempted to just go on my own and get it over and done with. That way there’d be no repercussions for the guys because I highly doubt the Infernos have kept tabs on me over the years. It’d be perfect. They know me so they wouldn’t think I’d be there to murder their Prez. I’m not sure I’d make it out alive, but at this point in my life, if you can’t die protecting the ones you love then what else are you supposed to do? I’m not suicidal, I just simply don’t care if I live or die if it means that Nancy will finally be free.

I’m about to take a long drag from my cig when I feel her presence of the porch.

“You should be in bed, Nance,” I playfully chastise her.

“How did you know it was me?”

“I always know when it’s you.”

“Well that’s just creepy, you know that?” She chuckles and takes a seat next to me.

“Nothing new there then. How are you feeling?”

“Worried.” She rests her head on my shoulder and yawns.

“About what? There’s nothing to worry about, Nance.”

“You’re going to the Infernos’ compound to kill
him.
You’re risking your life, Cal. Of course I’d be worried. You’re the brother I never had.” She frowns and I see tears form in her eyes.

“Fuck, I’ve been brotherzoned now?”

“Yep, you’re hot but you know my heart has always been Bennett’s.” She grins and the tears in her eyes subside.

“I know, don’t worry.” I kiss her forehead.

“I’ll always worry about you and the guys, even though I haven’t known them that long they feel like family.”

“You’re pretty awesome, you know that?” I snicker.

“I do.” She looks at me with a smug grin on her face.

“And so humble.”

“That too. You’ll meet someone as great as me one day, don’t worry.”

“I’m not worried but I doubt I will, no one would be able to handle my fucked up past.”

“Fuck off with that, I will not tell you again.”

“Shut up.” I glare at her.

“Never, but I’ll shut up for now. I just came out here to tell you to be careful. So, be careful.” She kisses my cheek before standing up and walking back inside.

As I watch the door close, I realize that a part of me does hope that one day I’ll meet woman as fucked up as me but for now, I have more important things on my mind. It’s time to get everybody up and ready to go hunt that fucker down.

Two hours later and we’re finally on our way to Pinehurst. The Infernos still have no idea that we’re about to take their Prez out. A shit storm of trouble will surely follow after this, but we have to stop him. We have one rule: do
not
hurt women and children. If we find out that an MC has, then we take them out, simply as. I have a nasty feeling that, despite us having the element of surprise, today is going to be a lot bloodier than we think and not necessarily in a good way.

A couple of the guys from the Bastards and the Angels are joining us which makes me feel a little bit more positive about our chances. I think Ray wanted in because something went down between him and the Infernos a long time ago. All I know is that it had something to with his ex–wife and as soon as we mentioned the name Satan’s Inferno, he was in, he didn’t care what we were asking him to do. The Angels joined us because of their rough past with the Infernos dating back to over ten years. The only shadow to this pretty cheery morning for me is the fact that Lewis is with us. Even though I don’t feel anything for her, I still feel like I need to protect her in a situation like this.

I thought we’d have to knock Bennett out this morning before we left. He didn’t look happy to be left behind, even Nancy was struggling to make him see reason. I have a bad feeling that he’s going to either follow us or take another route and meet us there or get there before us. The fucker better stop acting like a fucking kid and not do anything crazy, but we’re talking about Bennett.

I focus on the task ahead of us, allowing my mind to fall into my fucked up place. I think back to the first time I saw Nancy, how scared she was of me, how we built our relationship and the fucker behind it all. It doesn’t take long for an evil grin to cover my face and I know I’m ready.

Their compound, which looks like a fucking mansion, is sat at the top of a small hill which gives us a slight advantage, we can leave our bikes down the hill and creep up to the compound through the small wood which surrounds it. Why do we always end up in some kind of ditch or wood when we plan an ambush? Déjà vu washes over me and leaves with an uneasy feeling that I push to the side.

We all park on a side road that’s hidden from the main road, well as hidden as you can be when you have forty bikes and two vans.

“Right, we’re going to split up and surround the compound just in case they have men on the perimeter or have heard of our plan,” Ant instructs.

“These fuckers up there all need to die. I have a personal vendetta against one of them. I’ll understand if you don’t want anything to do with that. I’ll just find the fucker who took my Ashley and kill him,” Ray spits, his voice full of rage.

“He’s all yours, Brother,” Gabe claps Ray’s shoulder who nods at him.

“Looks like it’s going to be a shootout,” Aleck groans.

“Oh the memories, remember when we went against you lot because of your rat.” I smirk at Ray.

“Fucking good memories, my thigh remembers it fondly.” He chuckles darkly.

“You know I’ll never apologize.”

“Don’t expect you to.”

“When you two are finished with your lover’s conversation can we separate into groups and set off?” Ant asks pleasantly but I know he’s getting pissed and is really telling us to get our asses in gear.

“All done for me,” I tell him as I keep my eyes fixed on Ray.

“As much as I’d love to kick your sadistic ass, we have bigger fish to fry. Let’s go,” Ray says.

We’re just about to head off in our groups when we hear the low rumble of a bike riding up the hill. Now, to anyone else, that could be just one of the Infernos coming back from some business but we know that fucking rumble.

Fucking Bennett. Why won’t that bastard ever listen?

“Fuck,” I bellow and we all start to sprint up the small hill.
