Behind Blue Eyes (14 page)

It’s Been Awhile

Jasmine pulled through the gates of the Hells Vipers clubhouse, followed closely by Nora who had chosen to drive her own vehicle. She followed Jasmine across the lot and parked right next to her Nissan.

“You look scared to death, Nora; relax. My hubby will be here soon.” Despite her words to Nora, concern was still written all over Jasmine’s face.

Nora strained to put a nervous smile on her face as she got out of her car. She was dressed in grey casual pants with a peach-colored, low-cut blouse and flats. “I should have dressed like you. I didn’t know you wore skirts.”

Jasmine wore a short black skirt with a deep burgundy low-cut shirt. She also had on a sexy pair of black wedge heels with straps that wrapped around her ankles and crisscrossed her feet. She looked amazing.

“I bought this the other day on clearance. I think Nuke will like me in this,” Jasmine said as she looked down and picked a piece of cat hair off the black skirt. “They shed on everything,” she griped.

“I feel overdressed,” Nora muttered as she glanced around at the compound and most of the women she saw either had on jeans, or really, really short skirts.

“You look great,” Jasmine reassured her. “Okay, before we go in, there’s something’s I need to go over with you.”

“Alright.”

“No pictures inside the clubhouse. They don’t know you well enough for that.”

“Okay.”

Jasmine could see even more angst starting to show on her friend’s face. She smiled and said, “It’s okay, really. Um, let’s see, don’t wonder around too much.  You’re un-owned and don’t be offended by the term.”

“Un-owned?”

“Yeah, un-owned, not in a relationship with a member.”

“But are all of these women owned?’

“No, they aren’t and they understand what can happen because they aren’t owned.”

“Oh…oh,” Nora said quietly.

“They’re very guarded around people they don’t know. Also if you wander too much, they’ll get the wrong idea about you, think you’re a cop or something. Once inside the clubhouse, a full patch member has to let you out if the door is closed. You really won’t have to worry about that. The back door on the other side of the building will be open, and it’s where most of the food will be. Club members are working security since there’s a local band tonight, too.”

“I feel nauseated.” Nora tried to smile but failed.

“STOP! You’re going to have fun. I told everyone that I was bringing a friend. They won’t think you’re a Snake Swallower.”

“What if they do think I’m a Snake Swallower, what will happen?”

“You’ll get fucked!”

“By Pipe?” she jokingly asked.

“You can get your groove on with whomever floats you boat. All of the club members are here tonight plus some members from other chapters. Also club friendlies. Just have fun!”

“Anything else? What about the women, the wives and stuff? I don’t want to get into it with someone because I stood next to their man.”

“The women, well, they’re women.” Jasmine snickered as she pushed her hair back behind her shoulder.

“You won’t leave me here alone, will you?”

“No, I wouldn’t do that to you. Come on, I’ll introduce you to Amy. She’s Mitch’s wife; he’s the club president. If you can’t find me, then look for Amy. I won’t leave you, but I may go off to a secluded spot with my man,” Jasmine said with hope in her heart.

“I understand that. You got to get you some dick!”

“Hell yeah!”

They headed toward the clubhouse. Pipe and Medic were standing outside smoking.

“Damn, look at you looking like a supermodel!” Pipe whistled.

“Thank you!” Jasmine beamed. “Do you think he’ll like it?”

“I think he’s going to like it for the two seconds that he sees you in it before he rips it off of you,” Medic said as he looked over at Nora. “Who’s your friend?”

“Oh, sorry. This is Nora, she works with me. Nora, this is Pipe and Medic.” She reintroduced her to Pipe since he didn’t remember her.

“Hello,” she waved. “How are you both doing?”

“Hey,” Pipe said as he shot a look to Jasmine.

She knew him well enough to read the look in his eyes and it still said no to getting to know Nora.

“Good, nice to meet you,” Medic responded as he looked her up and down.

“Nice to meet you, too.”

“Come on,” Jasmine said and took her by the hand. “Let me give you a quick tour of the clubhouse.”

As Nora and Jasmine stepped into the clubhouse, Medic turned around to check out Nora from behind. “Yeah, I’d hit that!” he said to Pipe.

Pipe shook his head. “No way, I don’t do fat chicks.”

“Bro, I’m all ‘bout that bass – no treble,” Medic laughed.

“Did you really just say that? I’m going to ignore your knowledge of teen girl pop music lyrics and focus on the most important thing,  like when did you become a BBW lover?”

“I always have been. I like the something to hold onto, plus they jiggle when you fuck them. That’s hot as hell! I’m going to ignore how you knew the lyrics, too!” Medic let out a hardy laugh.

Pipe chuckled and said, “You work out daily, ex-military, you’re in great shape; I don’t get the fat-girl thing.”

Medic shrugged. “I like the contrast, I guess. Don’t get me wrong, if it’s got a pussy, I can get hard and fuck it. However, I prefer bigger women.” 

“You can’t fuck a fat chick in the dark. You could stick your dick in her fat roll and not in her pussy or ass,” Pipe said with a snort.

“What’s wrong with that?” Medic asked seriously.

Pipe looked nauseated. “Freaks, I’m surrounded by freaks. When in the hell did I become the normal one?”

Medic shrugged again. “Don’t know, bro, but I’m going inside to stake my claim before someone else tries to tap that ass tonight!”

Pipe kept his eyes on Medic as he hurried into the clubhouse to track down Jasmine and Nora. Out walked Rocket with his arm protectively draped around Zoe, who was beaming from ear to ear.

“It’s like I’m in the Twilight Zone!” Pipe shook his head.

I just want you

“Relax, they’ll be here soon.” Amy said as she reached out and stroked Jasmine’s hair. Jasmine was standing outside with most of the Hells Vipers waiting on Nuke’s and Kevin’s return.

“I got this feeling that something is going to go wrong,” Jasmine said as she turned toward Amy. “What if the Feds get something on him or . . . I don’t know. Something else bad will happen.”

“Kevin called. He’s out and they’ll be here soon!”

“I should have been the one to go pick him up.”

“It’s club policy; brothers bring brothers home. We have good food, good friends and enough alcohol to swim in. Don’t worry.” Amy turned to Nora. “I hope you have a good time tonight!”

“I think I will,” Nora said and smiled as Medic placed a beer in her hand. Jasmine was right; she did find someone else who tickled her fancy more than Pipe. Medic was drop-dead gorgeous, ex- military and a biker. If she could find the nerve and play her cards right, she might strike alpha male gold at least for one evening.

“I’ll see to it that she has fun,” Medic said and flashed a smile that made Nora’s pussy twitch. All heads turned to the opening of the gate as a black SUV entered the compound. 

“OMG! HE’S HERE! HE’S HERE!” Jasmine screamed at the top of her lungs.

The courtyard was soon filled with more people as Kevin drove toward the main building. Jasmine spotted Nuke and her heart began to pound in her chest.  Kevin came to a rolling stop as Nuke open the door and jumped out.

He was barely out of the SUV when Jasmine ran to him and threw her arms around him, planting kisses all over his face.

“Miss me?” he asked as he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.

“YES!” she shouted and kissed him long and hard. For the first time in what felt like forever, she was happy.

“They’re going to fuck all night,” Kevin laughed as he got out of the driver’s seat. “He’s going to squirt so hard up in her pussy, it’s going to blow her head off!”

Nuke and Jasmine continued to kiss as he carried her to the clubhouse. They didn’t make it inside. He placed her down on top of a table and climbed on top of her. Cheers and jeers went up around them as they covered each other with kisses and he began to grind in between her legs.

“Wow!” Nora said to herself. “They’re not really going to do this right here, are they?”

Medic nudged her. “Darlin’, you ain’t seen nothing yet.” He waved his finger at Nuke and Jasmine. “Them two, yeah…they do some freaky stuff. By tomorrow, she’s going to be happy as a kid at Christmas and covered head to toe in sex bruises.”

Nora scrunched up her face. That was so not her thing.

Mitch motioned for several members to grab Nuke. They shook their heads. “I’m not grabbing him,” Tech said firmly. “Nope! I’m not getting in between that trying to stop it.”

Mitch grimaced with a grunt. “Nuke! NUKE! We got church, LETS GO! NUKE!!!”

Jasmine gently pushed Nuke up off her with a wide grin. “I think you better go, baby. We have forever.” She gave him a long, wet kiss.

Nuke looked over at Mitch, “This will only take a minute,” he said, laughing along with everyone else. “Honestly, thirty seconds, tops!”

“Actually, I think we’re done,” Jasmine chuckled and Nuke and everyone doubled over with laughter.

“I really missed you, baby!” Nuke said as he helped her up from the table and pulled her in close.

“I thought I was going to die without you,” Jasmine said as she adjusted her skirt and then hugged him again. They began to passionately kiss one another.

Mitch shook his head, forcing away a laugh as he motioned again for members to grab Nuke. This time Tech obliged and so did Medic, all the while chuckling.

“You look beautiful” Nuke yelled as they playfully dragged him into the clubhouse.

“I LOVE YOU, BABY, THANK YOU!” she called out to him. It felt good to have him home again.

***

Tech and Medic plopped Nuke down into one of the seats at the table as everyone else sat down.

“You guys are killing me!” Nuke said with a wide grin. “My fucking dick is about to explode!”

“It’s good to have you back,” Toby said.

“It’s good to be back!”

Vince closed the door and everyone turned toward Mitch. “This will just take a few moments. We need to fill you in on some things. Then we can go out there and party and you can go fuck your woman,” Mitch chuckled.

Nuke grinned from ear to ear.

“First of all, your brother is still claiming that he had nothing to do with your arrest. Have you spoken with him?”

“He sent a letter when I first got locked up claiming the same thing. I didn’t respond.”

“Yeah, I didn’t think he’d fess up to you. The drugs you told us about at the kiosk, that’s all coming from your brother. He was playing drug dealer. Getting it from another lowlife that goes by the name Lexus.”

“Lexus, like the car?” Nuke asked as he looked around the table.

“Yeah,” Tech laughed. “He’s a kid, seventeen years old, thinks he’s a tough guy.”

“How did my brother know him?”

“The barely legal step-daughter introduced him. They go to the same high school.”

“That teen bitch was using, got her shit from Lexus. She and my brother came up with the plan to sell it through the kiosk. Am I right?”

“Don’t know if she was using but the rest of it is what we were thinking also. Not a bad idea, actually,” Pipe said.

“Who is the kid getting his stash from?”

“His older brother,” Tech said.

“Is his name Escalade?” Nuke joked

“Nope, his name is worse; it’s D’Licious.”

“Damn,” Nuke said. “I think it’s agreed, bikers have cooler names.”

Everyone laughed.

“So Nick Kordell was squeaky clean, then?” Nuke asked.

“Yes, it seems so,” Mitch replied. “We still don’t know who shot Holden.”

“I think it was Tori. It was all part of their plan to set me up. For the death of Nick Kordell. The bullet was perfectly placed. My step-dad, Holden’s father, he belongs to a gun club, and he’s a hunter, too. Holden has been shooting for a while. He knows gun safety and he knows where to aim to maim or to kill. My gut tells me that he trained Tori on what to do. It was risky but it paid off. I went down to Indy like a dumbass.”

Tech nodded. “Been digging up info – that Tori girl, she’s one cold-hearted bitch. I have to agree with Nuke.”

“Last order of business,” Mitch began. “Two nights ago the Disciples of Ares raided our gun warehouse. Took everything inside that we were trading with the Australians. I bought us some time with the Aussies while we scrounge up some more weapons. Our polite intervention didn’t work with the Disciples of Ares. Now we put an end to them. You up for it, Nuke?”

“Fuck yeah!”

“Good. Nuke, Pipe and Kevin, it’s all yours. It’s time for the Hit Squad.”

“Cool, like old times,” Kevin smirked.

“I want to thank the club. I know it was expensive guaranteeing my safety inside,” Nuke said. “I’ll pay up my dues as soon as I can.” He glanced over at Pipe, who was currently the treasurer.

“No problem, bro, I got you covered,” Pipe replied.

“Damn right, it was expensive,” Mitch chuckled. “But you’re worth it. Without you, we don’t get any good sex stories.”

Everyone chuckled.

“You need to thank your wife, too!” Mitch added.

Nuke was baffled. “What do you mean? What’s Jasmine got to do with this?”

“She brought fifty-five grand to the table! You got a good, solid woman there,” Mitch told him. “I’ll admit even after all that went down and how she found out about Cindy, I was skeptical about her sticking around. I didn’t think she was cut out for this life. She proved me wrong.”

Nuke was quiet for a moment. “Where did she get it from? We don’t have that kind of savings.”

Pipe spoke up. “She’s living like an impoverished person. The stove, refrigerator, TVs, her laptop, the bike you bought her, she sold them all, plus some other items I’m sure.” No way in hell was Pipe going to mention the wedding ring. “Like Mitch said, you got a solid woman.”

Nuke rubbed his face. Toby reached over and grabbed his shoulder. “Things can be replaced.”

“Yeah, yeah I know. I just didn’t know she was doing that. She never said anything when we talked.”

“She didn’t want you to get upset and worry,” Pipe said.

“Good thing you’re out, she probably would have sold a kidney,” Mitch stated. “Alright, that’s enough for now. Let’s go have some fun!” Mitch cracked the gavel and stood up.

Nuke stood up, too, but Pipe signaled for him to wait. The others left the room and Pipe walked over and closed the door. “I need to speak with you for a minute.”

“Don’t fuck with my good vibe, man!” Nuke was afraid Pipe was about to tell him something he didn’t want to know. He was still fighting daily to get rid of visions of Pipe and Jasmine together out of his head.

“I checked in on her. We all did,” Pipe began. “I should have told you before you got out that…”

“Dude,” Nuke interrupted him. “Man, you better think about what you’re about to say to me!”

“What? NO! No, no,” Pipe said as he shook his head. “Nothing happened!” Pipe threw up his hands in defense. “There’s nothing going on between Jasmine and me.”

“Then what are you talking about?” Nuke was completely confused now.

“I should have told you that she was selling stuff. I talked to her, told her how she needed to think smart and not spend every dime in case you caught a case. I offered her money but she always refused. I thought at first that she just couldn’t make it on her income.”

Nuke breathed a sigh of relief but then was filled with guilt about Jasmine. “I thought you had screwed my girl. I didn’t want to have to kill you.”

Nuke was smiling but it was slightly unnerving to Pipe. “Nuke, I would never disrespect you and her like that. Don’t get me wrong, I think you got a good catch,” Pipe said as he opened the door. “I just wanted you to know that I kept an eye on her. She held it down as best she could. Just don’t be too hard on her about the stuff she sold. She did the best she could under the circumstances.”

“I know.” Nuke and Pipe strolled back out into the main room. He scanned the crowd for Jasmine but he didn’t see her. Kevin let out a loud whistle to get his attention. Nuke looked over toward him. “She’s outside!” Kevin called from across the room.

Nuke nodded and headed that way.

He found Jasmine standing with Amy and Medic along with some woman he thought he recognized from the wedding.  Nuke captured Jasmine from behind, pulling her back to him as she let out a loud squeal. He kissed her neck as she leaned back on his shoulder and turned her head to kiss him. “You want a beer, babe?” she mumbled against his sexy mouth.

“I just want you. I thought I was going to go crazy without you!” Nuke growled out as he spun her around and held her next to him. Nuke took in her scent as he kissed her. He found Jasmine’s pussy soaking wet when he slid his hand up her skirt. “I’m going to sleep with my face here tonight.” He picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder. He carried her laughing and gigging back into the clubhouse and went into the first empty bedroom. He closed the door behind him as he tossed her down onto the bed and climbed on top of her.

Nuke kissed her neck. “How many times did you masturbate when I was gone?”

“I don’t know,” Jasmine said as she nuzzled against him.

“What did you use? Your hand, a dildo, a vibrator? Or did you use something else? Did you grab a beer bottle and reminisce when I fucked you with a bottle like a whore on your living room floor?”

“I used my hand and a dildo,” she said, squirming when she answered. The sound of his voice, the slightest touch of him, always made her passionate to the core of her soul. “I did that sandpaper duct tape thing again, though,” she laughed.

He snickered as he kissed, licked and nibbled at her nipples through the fabric before removing one of her breasts from her bra. She moaned out loud as he took her hard nipples in his mouth and started to roll them one at a time with his tongue. “You smell so good! I missed you so much, baby.”

She caressed his face as Nuke rose up and passionately kissed her again. He then led a trail of kisses down her arm to her hand where he stopped abruptly.

Jasmine could have sworn that the temperature in the room dropped twenty degrees.

“Where’s your ring?” Nuke tightened his grip on her hand as his blue eyes darkened. The dreaded answer he was feeling knotted deep in his chest.

“Nuke, baby, you’re hurting me!” Jasmine struggled to pull her hand away. “Baby… let me go!”

“WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR WEDDING RING?” he said between gritted teeth as he released her.

She rubbed her hand as she glared at Nuke. He climbed off of her and she scooted away from him to the other side of the bed. “I…Nuke, I had to sell things to help raise money to keep you safe. I gave all of the money to the club.”
