Pipe (Fallen Lords MC Book 2)

by Winter Travers

  “Uh, am I the only who took that the completely wrong way?” Cora laughed.

  “Yeah, if Pipe is riding me hard, then I really don’t think I need your guy’s backup or anything,” I giggled.

  “Oh Jesus,” Karmen sighed. “You all know what I meant. I think your dry spell is affecting your brain, Cora.”

  Cora shrugged. “I really can’t argue against that, because I believe you are completely correct.”

  “I think I’m going to be joining you on that dry spell so you won’t be alone,” Wren laughed.

  “Well, y’all can have the Dry Spell Gang then because I can tell you right now that is one club Nikki and I will not be joining,” Karmen said smugly.

  Pipe came over to grab his beer in time to hear Karmen.

  “What the hell are you guys talking about?” he demanded.

  Karmen flicked her hand at him. “Don’t worry. The Dry Spell Gang is a division of the Girl Gang. Nikki isn’t joining that division.”

  Pipe tilted his head. “I’m not really sure what you just said, but it sounds like I’m still getting laid, right?”

  Cora and Wren busted out laughing, and I just looked up at the man who managed to make me fall in love with him.

  “You’re still good, handsome.”

  He nodded. “All right, then carry on, ladies.” He threw a wink at me and moved back over to the pool table.

  Cora demanded to know exactly what Karmen meant by Girl Gang but I tuned them out and just watched Pipe as he lined up shots and talked with Nickel and Maniac.

  I was one lucky woman to have that man in my bed every night.

  The Dry Spell Gang was one I had no intention of joining, especially tonight.

  Pipe

  “Get there, Nikki.”

  Her moan surrounded me as her fingers stroked her clit. I powered into her from behind, with her face smashed into the pillow and her ass in the air.

  “Pipe, please,” she pleaded.

  I gritted my teeth, and I felt her pussy grip my cock as I thrust into her. “Yes, yes,” I growled.

  A scream ripped from her lips, and she reared back into me, burying my cock deep into her cunt.

  I thrust hard, slamming into her while her pussy milked my cock. My cum filled her, and I gave one last thrust. “Fuck me,” I muttered.

  “I just did,” she gasped.

  I collapsed next to her and gathered her in my arms. “How the fuck do you always make it better than the last?”

  “Pretty sure that is a group effort between the two of us,” she giggled.

  I shook my head and pressed a kiss to her temple. “Nah, I know it has everything to do with you.”

  She sighed and relaxed into my arms. “Whatever you say, handsome.”

  I reached down and grabbed the blanket that had been kicked to the foot of the bed. “Did you have a good night, sugar?” I pulled the blanket over us and laid my head down on my pillow.

  “It was fun. I really like Wren.”

  “She seems cool enough.” I hadn’t spent much time with her, but I could see Nikki had liked her. Most of the night, I had listened to Maniac bitch and moan about having to watch her when all she did was hang out in Cora’s room or her own. He didn’t know why she needed to be watched twenty-four seven when she wasn’t doing anything.

  “Do you think we should have waited for Alice to get back before coming to bed?” she asked sleepily.

  “Alice is a big girl, and Wrecker is one of the guys you can trust with her.”

  She nodded and closed her eyes. “I think I’m going to take a nap,” she mumbled.

  “Sleep, sugar,” I whispered into her hair.

  She snuggled closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder. “I don’t know if it’s the alcohol talking or the fact I’m exhausted, but I’m totally falling in love with you, Pipe.”

  “Same here, sugar,” I whispered

  A smile spread across her lips, and her breathing evened out as she fell asleep.

  It had nothing to do with the booze, and I was wide awake.

  I loved Nikki.

  Nikki

  Dear God, I thought sleepily.

  I can’t believe I just told him that.

  I was a complete fool, but there was no taking it back right now.

  Pipe Marks was making me fall in love with him, and I never wanted it to stop.

  Nikki

  “I need more hot sauce.”

  I handed the hot sauce to Karmen and watched her empty a quarter of the bottle onto her eggs. “I’m not sure if that’s as bad as ketchup on your eggs, or worse.”

  Karmen set down the hot sauce, picked up her fork, and dug into her hot sauce-laden eggs. “It’s delicious,” she said around a mouthful.

  “Do you get heartburn?” Wren asked her.

  “Sometimes.”

  “I’m not surprised,” she laughed. “I’m sure your baby is going to have a full head of hair when he finally pops out.”

  “As long as he looks like Nickel, I don’t care.”

  “Then he’s going to need hair.” I laughed.

  “Can you imagine Nickel with a shaved head?” Cora asked.

  “He’d look like Mr. Clean if he's bald.”

  Karmen shook her head and shoveled more food into her mouth. “He better have hair,” she mumbled.

  Alice shuffled into the small kitchen of the clubhouse and headed straight for the coffeemaker.

  “Well, good morning, sunshine,” Cora called. “I see you had such an amazing night you didn’t even have time to change into your cow onesie.”

  Alice grabbed a coffee cup down from the cabinet and filled it full. “I’m not made for this club life. I just did one night of partying, and I’m ready to sleep for ten days.”

  Cora patted the chair next to her. “Come tell momma all about it.”

  Alice squinted at her. “I’m pretty sure I’m the same age, or possibly older than you.”

  “Really?” Cora turned to me. “How old do I look?”

  Uh, I felt like this was a loaded question. If I guessed too high, then I would insult her, and if I went too low, I would look like I was trying to suck up. “I’m gonna have to say twenty-seven. Possibly twenty-eight, but that’s as high as I’m going.”

  A grin spread across her lips, and she looked back at Alice. “I’m twenty-eight.”

  “I’m thirty-one. Me calling you momma creeps me out more than you know.” Alice shuffled over to the chair by Cora and looked down at her. “The cow onesie makes me look younger, doesn’t it?”

  Cora blinked slowly. “I’ve tried to block that from my memory. Please don’t bring it up again.”

  Alice pulled out the chair and plopped down. “No need to bring it up, I’ll just put it on tonight, and you can see it again in all its glory.”

  “Um, did I miss something?” Wren asked.

  I held up my hand. “It’s best you don’t know about Alice’s collection of animal onesies.”

  Karmen’s jaw dropped. “She has more than one?”

  A huge smile spread across Alice’s face. “I think you need to come to Kales Corners and see for yourself.”

  “What other animals could there possibly be?” Karmen had just opened a can of worms I was not looking forward to.

  Alice took a long sip from her coffee and set it on the table. “Well, it all started with my cow one. He’s my favorite.” Alice prattled on about different animal onesies, but my attention was on Pipe and Maniac who were headed to the kitchen.

  I bit my lip and took in everything that was Pipe. Long, powerful legs. Strong muscular arms covered with tattoos. Broad shoulders capable of carrying a heavy load. Dark, thick wavy

  hair.

  Mine.

  All mine.

  He caught me staring, and a smirk spread across his lips. He reached into his pocket and stuck a cigarette in his mouth.
<
br />   Goddamn, he was sexy as hell when he did that. I knew all the things he could do with his mouth, and my envy of a cigarette was ridiculous.

  “Mornin’, sugar,” he mumbled as he leaned down and pressed a kiss to my neck.

  Commence full-on goosebumps. Was I ever going to get used to this man touching me?

  “Any food left?” Maniac asked. He walked to the stove and looked down at the empty pan of eggs and the pathetic one piece of bacon that was left. “Jesus, you would think a football team ate, not four chicks,” he scoffed.

  I looked up at Pipe. “I planned on making more eggs when you guys woke up. I didn’t think you would want cold eggs.”

  “Is that the story you’re sticking with, sugar?” he smirked.

  I had made a shit ton of eggs, but I hadn’t anticipated Karmen’s raging appetite. “It is,” I laughed.

  Pipe stepped back and let me stand up, but not before he moved in and wrapped his arms around me.

  I grabbed the cigarette out of his mouth. “There are much better things you can be doing with your mouth instead of smoking.”

  He brushed my hair off my neck and pressed a kiss next to my ear. “You mean that thing I did to you last night? Because I can totally clear this table and show everyone exactly what you mean.” His tongue grazed my skin and pressed a trail of kisses down my neck.

  “Holy shit,” Cora gasped. “Do y’all see this? I’m pretty sure we have a front row seat to one of those soft porns where they keep their clothes on, but it’s still sexy as fuck.”

  I buried my head in Pipe’s chest and tried to fight back the embarrassment that was creeping up my face. The man sure knew how to make me forget where I was and see only him.

  “Hand me your phone, Maniac. I could totally use this later with B.O.B.”

  Oh Jesus. I didn’t need to know that Cora was going to think of Pipe and me when she used her toy.

  “Who the fuck is Bob?” Maniac asked.

  I pulled out of Pipe’s arms and moved to the stove. I tossed his cigarette on the counter and tried to get my wits about me. I kept my head down and grabbed a bowl to crack the eggs into.

  “It’s not Bob, it’s B.O.B.,” Karmen explained not so clearly. “Battery operated boyfriend.”

  “Oh Jesus,” Maniac cried. “I did not need that damn visual.”

  I looked over my shoulder and watched Cora cackle while she high-fived Karmen. “You know what it’s about, girlfriend.” Cora elbowed Wren, but she just sat there with her head down.

  Before Pipe and Maniac had come in the room, she seemed to have come out of her shell a bit and was laughing and joking with us. Now the girl who looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here was back.

  “Um, I think I’m going to head to my room,” she mumbled. She grabbed her plate off the counter and dumped it in the sink next to me.

  “Hey,” I replied, gently grabbing her arm. She froze under my touch and gasped. Something wasn’t right with Wren. She acted like I was about to hit her for putting her dish in the sink. “You don’t have to run back to your room. I thought maybe we could go to the mall today. Kind of like a girls’ day.”

  She gave me a small smile and shook her head. “Um, I kind of have a headache right now. Knock on my door when you’re ready to go, and I’ll see if I’m feeling any better.” Wren dashed from the kitchen, almost bumping into Pipe who quickly stepped out of her way before she barreled into him.

  “Was it something I said?” Karmen asked.

  Cora shook her head and grabbed her empty plate. “No, it’s not you. Hell, it doesn’t have anything to do with us. Well, maybe Pipe and Maniac, but that’s just because they’re guys.”

  Maniac leaned against the counter by the fridge and crossed his arms over his chest. “What the hell does that mean?” he asked.

  Pipe cleared his throat. “Unfortunately, I think it means the guys in Wren’s past haven’t treated her right.”

  “That fucking true?” Maniac demanded.

  Cora dropped her plate in the sink and wiped her hands on her pants. “I don’t know everything, but yeah, Wren hasn’t had the best relationships. This last asshole really fucked with her.”

  Maniac pushed off the counter. “I’m not gonna fucking hurt her, dammit. She doesn’t need to act like that around me.”

  “Calm down, brother,” Pipe called. “We all know you haven’t done anything to Wren.”

  “I’m gonna go get dressed and talk to her. Hopefully, she decides to go to the mall with us. She hasn’t been out of the clubhouse since she got here, and I’m kind of worried about her.” Cora followed Wren, and we were all speechless.

  “Um, well, that majorly blows,” Karmen sniffled. She wiped her nose with the back of her hand and pushed her half-empty plate away.

  Nickel walked in and skidded to a halt. “Who the hell died?” he asked.

  “We have to fix Wren,” Karmen sobbed.

  “What the hell did I miss?” he asked Pipe.

  Pipe cleared his throat. “Not really sure, but from what I’m gathering, Wren’s ex was a bigger dick than we thought.”

  Maniac pushed off the counter and paced back and forth. “I gotta go for a ride,” he mumbled. “Can you guys keep an eye on Wren until I get back?”

  “I really doubt she’s going to leave her room, so I think you’re good,” Karmen replied.

  “I was talking to Pipe and Nickel.”

  “Oh,” Karmen gulped. “I suppose they are more likely to defend her than I am.”

  “You’re good, brother,” Pipe replied. “You can take off for the day if you want.”

  Maniac nodded. “I’ll let you know what I’m up to. Right now, I need to just clear my head for a bit. Everything I thought I knew just got blew out of the water.”

  “What the hell was that?” Karmen asked after Maniac left the kitchen.

  “I think that was us witnessing first-hand that Maniac might have a thing for Wren.” Pipe wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close. “You okay?”

  I looked up at him and nodded. “Yeah, I’m good. Worried about Wren, but I really doubt she’ll talk to me seeing as I met her yesterday.”

  “Cora’s got her, sugar, and I have a feeling Maniac just got a lot more involved than I bet he thought he would have.” He pressed a kiss to the side of my head, and I went back to cracking eggs.

  “How much fucking hot sauce did you put on that?”

  I turned around to see Nickel waving his hand in front of his mouth and grabbing Karmen’s cup of coffee.

  “Well, from the pink tinge that the eggs have on them, I would say a shit ton,” Alice smirked.

  “Are you insane, woman?” Nickel finished Karmen’s coffee and reached for Alice’s.

  Alice snatched it off the table and glared at Nickel. “Try it, and I break your hand.”

  Nickel pulled his hand back. “I see you have a nice sunny disposition in the morning just like Karmen.”

  As Karmen pulled the plate back in front of her she snatched the fork from Nickel. “Just for that, you don’t get any more eggs.”

  “Promise?” Nickel laughed. “Pretty sure you’re gonna be burping up fire after you finish that plate.”

  “But it’s such a delicious burn,” Karmen muttered.

  Pipe pulled his lighter out of his pocket, and I glared at him. “You don’t need that.”

  He shook his head and lit the end. “You’ll have to keep my mouth occupied, sugar, if you don’t want me to smoke anymore.”

  I rolled my eyes. “I’m buying you the patch today.”

  He shook his head and then turned it to exhale. At least the man had enough decency to turn his head. It would have been better if he didn’t smoke at all, but I had to pick my battles at the moment.

  “You buy me the patch, and you’ll be wasting your money, sugar.”

  “You make me roll my eyes entirely too much,” I mumbled. I finished cracking the eggs and grabbed another pound of bacon from the fridge.

/>   “That’s your sassy side coming out. I like it.”

  “You would,” Nickel piped in. “When Karmen gets mouthy, it makes me think of all the other things she could be doing with her mouth instead of talking back.”

  Karmen pointed her fork at Nickel. “Keep it up, and I’ll show you what else I can do with my fork.”

  Pipe busted out laughing, and Nickel held up his hands. “Point made, baby girl.”

  “You’re looking a little green over there, Alice,” Pipe chuckled.

  Alice groaned and laid her head down on the table. “I can’t decide if I need to throw up or eat.”

  “Ah, the aftereffects of a night with the Fallen Lords,” Pipe chuckled.

  “I remember when Pipe and Wrecker got me drunk,” Karmen reminded. “That’s when I became Captain.”

  “I remember you letting me shiver your timbers that night.” Nickel wiggled his eyebrows.

  Karmen elbowed him in the stomach and pushed her plate away again. “Pretty sure all of that hot sauce was a mistake.” She rubbed her belly and laid her head on the counter like Alice.

  “No one shivered my timbers last night,” Alice grumbled.

  “What in the hell is going on in here?” Wrecker asked. He walked into the kitchen and skidded to a halt just like Nickel had.

  Pipe pointed at Karmen. “Too much hot sauce eggs.” Then shifted to Nickel. “Ate the hot sauce eggs without knowing that they were hot sauce eggs,” then finally landed on Alice. “Partied with the Fallen Lords last night.”

  Wrecker nodded like that all made sense to him. “Sounds like a typical morning when you ladies are around.” Wrecker grabbed a cup down from the cabinet and filled it up. “Where are Maniac and Wren?”

  “Um, Wren is in her room with Cora,” I mumbled.

  “Maniac is gone for the day,” I added.

  “What the fuck do you mean he’s gone for the day?” Wrecker demanded. “That asshole’s job is to watch Wren.” Wrecker pulled out a chair neck to Nickel and sat down. Alice groaned when he bumped the table, but she didn’t raise her head.

  “Cora told us some information about Wren today that none of us knew. Kind of threw Maniac off a bit,” Nickel explained.
