“And Brooke?” Shepard asks.
“I forgot for a moment that I promised to pick Brooke up from work. I only remembered as I drove past the restaurant. So I went back for her. I could have asked someone else to pick her up, but she'd have been waiting there for God only knows how long. I didn't have time to take her home... Look,” Nova shifts in her seat. “It is what it is. They were both fine waiting in the car, which I parked in the shadows so it couldn't be seen. I had Click's house watched until I arrived.” Because the girl has spies everywhere. “I would have been informed if he had company. I also had people waiting in the shadows. No one would have gotten close to my car, had they seen it, without being taken out.”
“So that makes it all right, does it?!”
“Calm down, Dad,” Shepard growls at Jett.
This is getting us nowhere! The point won't be driven home when it comes to Nova; she did what she thought was right. Even though I could throttle her, Brooke is safe. Alison and Teddy are safe and away from the Dirty Coyotes, and the shit they put them through.
We have more important things to deal with now than what Nova did. Things like making sure those assholes don't come here looking for trouble. We know we're going to have a fight on our hands with Click. He'll want his daughter back. He'll want revenge for Teddy going missing. He knows who the kid's father is, so this is the first place he'll look. We need our minds on what's to come, not what's past.
“I did what I did because I am a mother, who would do anything for her children. Just as every mother would. Alison just needed help getting her son back before something bad happened to him. I gave her that help.”
Shepard narrows his eyes when Nova gets out of her seat, and reaches into her inside jacket pocket. She throws a plastic box on the table. “One less thing for you to worry about.”
Jett takes the box and opens it. No one can see what's inside, but from the look on Jett's face, it's not a cupcake. “What the hell did you do?”
The box makes the rounds, giving us all the opportunity to see the contents. It reaches me, and I look inside. Eyeballs. Teeth. President's patch. Tattooed skin, baring the Dirty Coyotes logo. She killed Click!
“I took out the problem. Click's body will never be found. My men are cleaning away the mess. There won't be any evidence left behind.”
“You destroyed him.” I look to Shepard. I'm not sure if he's disgusted or awed by his daughter right now.
Nova shrugs.
“What about Alison's mother? She was an innocent, Nova.”
“Click, and Teddy were the only ones in that house, Kong. Both were asleep. Click was dead before he had the chance to open his eyes. Before I grabbed Teddy, I checked the house for signs of anyone else. There were none, Kong.”
The poor woman is probably already dead.
“You have all you need to confront the Coyotes. They'll be vulnerable right now with their Prez gone. Do with it what you will. I'm going home to my babies. I'll see you there later, Tank. I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
Once Nova is out the door, Shepard tells us, “Who needs guns and ammo when we've got weapon Nova?” I'm not sure it's a question, but it has us all laughing. “If I know my daughter, she will have thought of everything, so I know this won't come back on the club. However, we still need to figure out what to do about the Coyotes now that Click is out of the picture.”
“Maybe we should call Trigger and invite him to come in and talk.”
Coyotes VP, Trigger, may just be as bad as Click. Those assholes have no morals whatsoever. Inviting Trigger here will not end the way Jett thinks it will.
“Red, BlackJack, stay behind, I need a quick word. The rest of you, go home and get some rest. We'll deal with this tomorrow. Be back here for 8: AM, I want this shit deal with ASAP. Kong, make sure your family is out of the way tomorrow, I don't want the Coyotes to catch a glimpse of them. We don't want to give them any more of a reason to start a war.”
“Prez,”
The gavel crashes down on the oak table, and I can't get out of there fast enough.

I watch Brooke combing her hair after blow drying it. She hasn't spoken a word since we left the clubhouse. When I told her that my parents were keeping Gabriel for the night, she nodded, yet said nothing. I had thought she'd decline the offer and want to collect him. So when she didn't, I was a little shocked.
As soon as we got home, Brooke went up to shower. I showered after he, only taking a couple of minutes. I'm a man; I don't need to in there for an hour. Now, I'm watching Brooke climb into bed in nothing but panties and a cami top.
Brooke leans her head back against the headboard and stares at me. I stroke her face with the back of my hand. Like lightning, she straddles my waist, her lips fused with mine, kissing me with a hunger I didn't know she possessed.
She pulls away long enough to release my aching cock from my boxers, slip her panties to the side, and impale herself onto me. Fuck!
Frantically she rides me. I wrap my arms around her back, crossing them over her shoulders, and pulling her down harder, feeling myself slip deeper. Brooke throws her head back, and I bite her neck. Her pussy grips me so tight I can feel her walls crushing my dick.
Brooke is filled with adrenaline from earlier, and that's why she's riding me like a damn rodeo, but shit, you won't hear me complaining.
I won't last much longer, I've never been so turned on in my life! Brooke and I have always had fantastic chemistry, an incredible sex life, but never have I known her to be this rampant. I fucking love it!
Brooke moans loudly, slamming her mouth against mine, and she comes so hard, she draws my orgasm out at the same time. Jesus fucking Christ, I'm grunting through it, and slamming into Brooke, spilling everything I have inside of me into her.
She cheekily laughs against my mouth. I smile and kiss her some more. “Well, that was unexpected.”
My beautiful Brooke lifts enough for me to slip from her body, but stays straddling my waist. Her arms are wrapped around my neck, and my hands hold her hips. “Are you complaining, Mr. Anderson?”
“You'll never hear me complaining, baby.”
“I'm sorry I was so quiet before, I had so many emotions rushing through me, I didn't know how to handle them.”
Brooke is a strong woman; everything she went through with her father is proof of that. However, Nova is tactless and forgets that others aren't as mentally strong as she is. They definitely aren't as sick-minded as she is. I don't think most men are. Regardless of the fact, Nova had Brooke wait in the car and told her nothing of what she did to Click, Brooke knows as well as the rest of us just what Nova is capable of. My girl knows it wouldn't have been a simple in and out job. A vile cunt lived in that house, of course, Nova would put an end to him.
“I was a little shocked by what Nova did, but I understood why.”
“You got turned o
n by it?” I narrow my eyes. That doesn't sound like Brooke at all.
She laughs loudly and shakes her head. “I was turned on by you and how mad you were that Nova dragged me with her.” I raise my eyebrow, and she groans. “That makes me sound crazy, doesn't it?”
“No. Not at all.”
“Does it make me weird?”
Brooke squeals as I flip her off of me, pressing her into the mattress, and leaning over her. She looks up at me and strokes my face. “You're not weird, Brooke. Do you have any idea how much I love you?”
She nods. “As much as I love you.”
It isn't long before I'm inside of her again. We fuck all night, her pussy, her ass, her mouth. I take her every which way possible because I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I don't have a clue if I'll come home alive. Those sick fuckers could turn on us in the drop of a hat. Not if we can help it, but shit happens.
I just hope Shepard is prepared, really prepared for what might be coming our way.
Chapter Seventeen
Brooke
I'm nursing Gabe and listening to Coral, Maria, and Avery talk about who their kids might be when they grow up. The little darlings are playing on the other side of Maria's living room. They're all so adorable. Little Jessica is the only girl, and she's a bossy little madam, keeping the boys in check. Jessica also keeps coming over to check on Gabe, and she's so cute with the way she is with him.
Hawk and the others left early this morning; they have a big meeting about what they're going to do about the Dirty Coyotes. I hope they can sort this mess without anyone getting hurt.
Maria called me not long after Hawk left this morning, and asked me over. She thought maybe I could use some friend time. I took that as she needed friend time. Not that I'd ever turn my best friend down. Coral and Avery were already here when I arrived, and I was happy to see them.
Yesterday was tough for me because I felt like I was thrown into a bad situation headfirst. However, today, I'm feeling much stronger. I don't know what happened to me overnight, but I feel different. I feel like I could take on the world and win.
