“I’ll go back to the cabin. I’ll be waiting there when you get finished.”
Kade kissed me again and stood before walking away, getting lost in a crowd of leather vests. Jacob finished his dinner, and I helped him make a plate of desserts for him and Piper before walking him through the increasingly rowdy crowd and past the clubhouse. The cabins were separated by at least seventy-five feet to give each brother privacy, and as I walked him down the path to Smokey and Piper’s house at the end of the long line of cabins, I smiled, knowing this place would be a home for us forever.
The Death Hounds were family first, and being Kade’s old lady, the niece, and the sister of brothers, I would always have someone protecting me. The safety I’ve felt since the night Uncle Mick and the club came to my rescue, destroying the people and place that irrevocably changed me, was what gave me the strength to push past my trauma and open myself up to Kade.
“He brought you dessert,” I told Piper as she welcomed us into her house.
Jacob placed the plate on the table and plopped onto the couch next to Piper. Bear stood with me at the door, and I looked at my mischievous little brother and reminded him, “No roughhousing with Piper, and when she says bedtime, it’s bedtime. Understood?”
He nodded with an innocent look on his baby face, and I shook my head with laughter as I looked at Piper. “Thank you for this.”
She stood and pulled me into a hug, whispering softly, “I know you’re scared, but he won’t hurt you. Let your first time be pleasurable, not painful.”
“But it’s not my first time,” I whispered, and she looked over her shoulder at Jacob on the couch.
She picked up the remote and turned the TV on to cartoons before ushering me outside and pulling the door almost closed. Stepping closer, she spoke, “No matter what happened, your decision to give yourself to a man is your first time. Your choice was taken away, but if you choose this, it’s your first time and it’s a big deal, Sadie. Don’t rush yourself if you think you need to do this to keep him. Gunner loves you, and I know he’s patient enough to wait.”
“I . . . I don’t want to wait anymore.”
She pecked me on the cheek and replied, “Have fun. Jacob’s safe with me, and I’ll make sure he has breakfast before he yells down the compound.”
“Thank you,” I replied with a smile and left her to tend to my crazy little brother.
I walked past the row of cabins, and the noise from the party was growing in intensity as Bear and I slipped into Gunner’s cabin. I could still hear faint music through the walls, and I rubbed the big dog’s head before walking into the bathroom. After taking off all my clothes, I stepped under the hot water and let the tension seep from my muscles.
I shaved everything that needed it and lotioned myself from head to toe. Bear was asleep on his oversized pillow near the bed, and I reached into the dresser and pulled a T-shirt on over my naked body. Grabbing my Kindle, I laid down and started reading where I left off this morning in my latest romance novel. I read until my eyes grew heavy, and with a resigned look toward the door of the cabin, I let sleep pull me under.
A noise outside the cabin woke me with a fright, and Bear raised his head from next to me on the bed. Another thump resonated faintly, and I slipped from the bed as Bear jumped down and stood next to me. A soft giggle drew me closer to the door, and I slowly opened the door to see who was outside. The small walkway in front of the cabins was illuminated with soft ground lights, and I looked up and down the path, not seeing anyone outside.
The music from the party still played in the front of the compound, but the volume was much lower, allowing the voices to carry across. Laughter sounded again, and I heard someone shush the noise. I looked at Bear and told him to stay before slipping a pair of shoes on and stepping off the porch of the cabin.
Sounds from the party filtered through the dark yard as I slowly walked through the grass, trying to locate the soft giggles coming from the side of the house. I figured it was a brother and his dick warmer for the night and realized I should probably turn around, but curiosity kept me moving closer to the side of the cabin.
Peeking my head around the corner, I felt my knees nearly buckle from underneath me at the sight unfolding in front of me. There was a picnic table under a tree near the side of the cabin, shrouded in darkness, and sitting on the table was Kade. He was leaned back on his hands with his head thrown back in ecstasy as a club slut bobbed her head up and down his length from her position on the bench in front of him. His feet were pinned on either side of her nearly naked body, and his grip on her hair was tight as she moaned around him.
“Shh. Do your job and shut up, you stupid bitch,” he whispered, and the tears broke free, flooding down my face.
I should’ve walked away, but I couldn’t turn my eyes from the train wreck happening in front of me, and I watched as she slid her hand between her legs and bobbed faster on him. He raised his hips and thrust into her mouth, forcing a gag from the unknown woman pleasuring him, and when he softly groaned into the air, his body shaking with pleasure, I knew he had orgasmed in her mouth.
He released the grip on her hair, and I slid into the shadow of the house as he looked at the cabin and shook his head with a sigh. The woman stood from the bench and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand as Kade zipped his pants up.
“How was that, Gunner? Did I take the edge off for you?”
“You did alright. Not a word of this to anyone. Do you understand me?” he remarked and stood from the table.
He went to walk away, but she gripped his forearm, stopping him. He turned over his shoulder at her, and she retreated slightly but didn’t remove her hold on him. I couldn’t hear exactly what she said, and I was prepared to run back inside when he turned and lifted her onto the table. She spread her legs and pulled her tube top down, exposing her fake tits as Gunner sat on the bench in front of her.
The bile rose in my throat as he looked up at her before placing his mouth on her pussy. She groaned and rocked her hips as he pushed her closer and closer to release. I slapped my hand over my mouth and ran inside the cabin. Throwing up into the toilet, I let the tears fall unchecked as the woman’s moans filtered into the cabin, reminding me how damaged I truly was.
I didn’t know why he did what he did or how many times he’d done it in the past. What I did know was his words of love and devotion were lies, and I wasn’t going to subject myself to his unique brand of torture. I splashed water on my face and brushed my teeth before grabbing a duffle bag from the closet.
The sound of the front door opening drew my watery eyes to Gunner, who looked shocked that I was awake when he stumbled through the door, obviously drunk. He looked from the empty dresser drawer to the bag filled with clothes with confusion. I pulled a pair of shorts on under my T-shirt and slid my feet into my shoes.
“Sadie? What’s going on?” he asked, and I shook my head, fighting to keep the tears in check until I was gone.
When he took one step toward me, I held my hand up and explained, “I can’t do this anymore. I’m leaving, but I’ll be here in the morning to get Jacob and the rest of my things.”
“Why? I don’t understand. What happened?” he slurred and tried to come toward me.
