Could this be my second chance?

JACKSON
“He’s gone out of town, and back to his compound...” I say to Cade a week later.
“Hogan is planning something big, his original plan for getting us on lockdown isn’t going to work, but he’s got something planned, and he obviously needs his turf to do it.”
“We’re safe out here for now,” I say. “But I don’t know how long that will last. He’s goin’ to come back.”
“We need a plan; we gotta get rid of him, Jack’s.”
“He’s right,” Spike says, lighting a cigarette.
“Yeah, but this time we gotta do it right,” I point out. “If we don’t, we’re fucked. He’s got double our men.”
“How are we supposed to take out sixty fuckin’ bikers?” Cade grunts.
I cross my arms across my chest. Fucks me how we’re meant to do that.
“I know how.”
I hear the soft, sweet as shit voice coming from the doorway, and turn to see my lady, looking like a pretty little pixie in her pink pajamas and ruffled hair. It’s late at night, and I haven’t been to bed. I figured she’d come looking soon.
“You listenin’ in to club business, baby?” I say, giving her a small grin.
She flushes and shakes her head. “No, I was just coming to look for you, and I overheard.”
“Might as well use her now,” Spike says. “Come in here precious.”
Serenity walks in, and comes over, stopping in front of me. I spin her around, and pull her onto my lap. She’s light, and warm, and she smells fucking great. I grow hard beneath her ass, and I feel her tense.
“So?” Cade encourages. “How can we take them all out?”
“Once a month Hogan has a massive gathering at the compound, all the guys know about it, and they’re all required to attend. Club rules. It’s not for families, it’s just for the guys, and it’s held on the same date so they can all make sure they are there. It’s the best option you have of taking them all out.”
“You think they’ll do it this month?” I say, tightening my grip around her.
“They will, because they’re worried. It’s a good way for them to work out a plan. It’s usually when they discuss the major club business.”
“And when is this little gathering?” Spike asks.
Serenity lifts my cell off the table, and checks the date, and then she lifts her head. “Two nights from now.”
“Fuck, is that enough time?” Cade says, crossing his arms across his chest.
“Depends on what we’re goin’ to do...”
“Can I make a suggestion?” Serenity whispers.
“Go for it baby, you know the club.”
“Well, they all sit inside the far left shed. The one right down the back of the lot. They don’t have security on, but they might this time. I know you tried to blow the compound before, but it went wrong because it wasn’t thought out. The buildings are too scattered. If you did it right, you could easily achieve the result you first went for.”
“We blow the entire shed?” Spike says, rubbing his jaw.
“We blow the entire shed,” I say, nodding.
“We need some serious power,” Cade adds.
“We can get that,” I murmur. “I got that covered.”
“How do we get it close enough?” Spike asks.
“You don’t need to get close enough,” Serenity says. “It’s right down the back, and you can access it from the bush land behind it. If you put something right up against the fence, that had enough power, you would blow it easily.”
“How do we get that close and place something, without them knowing?” Cade says, his jaw tight with concern.
“Janine,” Serenity whispers.
We all turn to look at her. “Your friend?” I ask.
“Yeah, her husband thinks she’s visiting family. If she goes back, they won’t suspect her. There’s a massive bin right up against the shed, if she could plant something in there, you could then control it from a good distance away.”
“It’s a good idea,” Spike says. “If we could get her tippin’ gas around the perimeter too, it would go up even harder.”
“Too risky,” I say. “I have goods that will easily blow that shed.”
“It could work,” Cade murmurs. “If we are careful.”
“We need a backup plan, if for some reason they don’t do the meeting...” I add.
“We can work something out,” Cade says.
“Yeah,” Spike grunts.
“We need to get some stuff and send the girl in tomorrow, if we don’t do it soon, we’re goin’ to end up in trouble,” I say, rubbing my hands up Serenity’s thighs. “But for now, I’m goin’ to bed. Give my guy a call, Cade. Get what we need.”
“On it boss.”
I lift Serenity off my lap, and wrap my arms around her, walking us out of the room.
I can’t think of club business right now.
No, I am going to fuck my lady tonight.
Nice and slow.
~*~*~*~
SERENITY
They say great minds think alike, well, apparently tonight that is true. As soon as Jackson got me back to our private little space, he began undressing me, slowly, gently, taking his time with each piece of clothing. Now here I am, standing naked before him, watching his lusty, gorgeous green eyes devouring me. He drops his clothes, and then stands, slowly stroking his cock, making everything inside me clench.
The past week has been hell. I couldn’t have sex, or do anything too crazy just to be sure the baby was ok, but now...now I’m desperate. My pussy clenches as I stare at Jackson, his big hands sliding up and down that stunning length. I bite my bottom lip, unable to take my eyes from him. He steps forward, I step back. “Baby,” he rasps. “No playin’.”
“I’m not playing,” I whisper, lifting my eyes from his cock to his face. “You just look so...dominant right now.”
He growls. “That’s because I need to be inside you, and fuck baby, I need it now.”
“No foreplay then?” I laugh nervously.
“Oh, darlin’, I’m goin’ to suck your clit until you scream, don’t doubt it.”
I whimper.
He begins lowering to his knees, and my entire body prickles. I want him. God, I want him. I take a step towards him, and he grins. “That’s my girl, keep comin’ baby.”
I do as he asks; I take another step forward until I’m standing up against him. He hisses through his teeth, and then leans down, sliding his tongue up the inside of my thigh. He takes my foot, lifting it and placing my leg over his shoulder. I stumble a little, and my pussy lands right on his mouth. He growls, I cry out, and then his tongue is inside me, licking, suck, tormenting.
“Jackson, oh god...”
He sucks my clit into his mouth, rolling it around while his hands grip my ass, massaging it with primal need. He presses my pussy against his face as hard as he can, and his tongue has me screaming and shaking. He groans, tearing his lips from my pussy, and lifting my leg off his shoulder, flipping me around so I land on my hands and knees. Then he grips my hips and lifts them, bringing my pussy back to his mouth. Only this time, it’s from a different angle.
I know my ass is in his face, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Instead, he thrusts his tongue inside my aching flesh, in and out, in and out, while his finger goes around and starts rubbing my clit furiously. Oh shit. I come so hard my arms collapse and I land face first on the mattress sitting on the floor. Jackson groans, and gently puts me down until my knees touch the ground. Then he’s running his fingers up and down my slick sex, before pressing his cock to my entrance.
“Need you, baby.”
“Yes,” I plead.
He uses his hand to guide his cock into my pussy, and I groan at the feeling of him filling me. It feels like it’s been forever. When he’s deep inside me, he runs his hand down my spine, making me shudder. He pulls back gently, slowly, with a guttural groan, an
d then he plunges back in. I tighten around him, causing a feral curse to escape his lips.
“Such a beautiful pussy,” he murmurs, thrusting his hips again. “So fuckin’ perfect around my cock.”
“Oh god,” I groan. “Say that again.”
“Cock baby, you fuckin’ know how to work my cock.”
“Jackson,” I rasp. “More.”
“My pixie is dirty. She loves it when I tell her how sweet her pussy is wrapped around my cock.”
I jerk, and bolts of pleasure shoot through me.
“Spank me,” I beg.
“Baby,” he groans. “Fuck.”
“Now, Jackson.”
With a hiss, he brings his hand down gently over my ass. I clench around his cock, so he does it again. Oh god, the pain, the pleasure, it has my eyes rolling and my body jerking in response. I can feel my own arousal dampening Jackson’s cock, and I don’t care, I don’t want it to stop. He groans deeply, and massages my ass, before bringing his hand down over it again.
I come.
Oh, do I come.
Jackson growls, gripping my hips and thrusting deep and slow, careful not to hurt me. I feel his cock swell, and then I feel him spurting deep inside me, pulse after pulse. His guttural groan fills the small space, and mine joins in until all I can hear are our cries of pleasure. I drop down onto my stomach when my shaking dies down, and Jackson pulls out, flopping down beside me.
“Shit,” he rasps. “That was hot.”
I laugh softly. “Yeah, it was...”
He rolls to his side, placing a hand on my stomach and gently rubbing. “You ok?”
I nod, meeting his gaze. “Great now.”
“And baby?”
“I’m assuming fine.”
“Tried to go gentle, fuck, it took everything inside me not to pound that sweet cunt.”
My eyes open in shock. “Jackson! Did you just say cunt?”
He grins, and winks at me. “You bring out the dirty in me.”
I giggle. “You’ll have to tame that when the baby comes.”
He snorts. “Can’t take the biker out of a...biker.”
I laugh loudly. “I think you mean you can’t take the biker out of a man.”
He shrugs. “Same difference.”
I roll my eyes and turn my face, staring up at the ceiling.
“Is it goin’ to burn?” he says suddenly.
I turn my face back. “What?”
“Killin’ your dad?”
I flinch, and he lifts himself on his elbows. “Is it goin’ to fuck everything we’re creatin’ here?”
“Do you have any idea what it was like growing up with him?” I say, searching his gaze.
“No, baby, I don’t.”
“It was hell. He was abusive, and cruel, and mentally damaging. I hate him; I hate him more than I’ve hated anything in my entire life, as short as it’s been. He deserves everything he gets. He deserves no one’s pity; he’s a cruel, repulsive monster. It will be the best day of my life when he’s killed. I know that sounds sick, but it’s the truth.”
“You’re nothin’ like him, you know?”
I nod, smiling weakly. “Yeah, I know. Sometimes, though, I worry parts of me are the same...I mean...I let him push me in here to gather information.”
“He threatened Ebony and beat the fuck out of you, there wasn’t much choice.”
I meet his gaze. “There’s always a choice, Jackson. Isn’t that the old saying?”
He shakes his head, his eyes gentle. “When you have two paths, both that end in pain, there isn’t really a choice. You just have to choose which one you can live with the easiest.”
I swallow, and nod.
“I’m sorry...for all of it. For what I did. For not listening. For the fact that he’s your father and I have to kill him.”
“Don’t be sorry for me, be sorry for him. He’s the one who is going to get everything he deserves. You know, I feel a little selfish right now?”
“Baby, I don’t hate you for what you did...”
“Not about that. I feel selfish because it’s not me that gets to kill him. Does that make me a sick person?”
“No,” he says, pulling me into his arms and rolling to his back. “A person can’t do to you, what he did to you, and actually expect to get away with it. The hate you feel, the need to make him pay, it’s normal and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with feeling like that. I’ll make him pay, Serenity. For every hand he ever laid on you. I swear it.”
“I hate myself, you know?” I whisper. “I hate myself for ever letting him put me in the position of having to lie to you.”
“Maybe you’re lookin’ at it all wrong,” he says, stroking my hair.
“How so?”
“Maybe you should see it like this...if he didn’t put you here, we’d never be doin’ what we’re doin’ right now.”
“I know that,” I whisper. “But I nearly lost you, Jackson. It nearly wasn’t worth all of this.”
“I was hurt, couldn’t see past it until I heard you screamin’ on that recorder, and then I saw you in that car, covered in blood, and I knew you weren’t evil. I knew it wasn’t your doing, and that you would never hurt me or my club. I knew that my life without you wasn’t worth livin’. I couldn’t believe I nearly lost that.”
“It took a lot not to tell you, but I knew from a very early time that I was going to lie to Hogan. It wasn’t easy.”
“No,” he says. “I don’t imagine it was.”
“I just want it over; I want to create a life for our baby.”
“I will end it for you, darlin’. I swear it.”
I know he will.
And it scares me.
What if it ends him, instead?

“Be careful,” I say, hugging Janine.
“I’ll be fine. The explosive Jackson gave me is tiny. I can’t believe something so small, is going to do so much damage.”
“Are you sure you’re ok with this, you know Derek will be in that group?”
Her face hardens. “He’s a rotten, woman raping pig. I hope he burns.”
I hug her again. “Promise me you’ll be safe.”
“Promise me you’ll make sure Eb’s is ok?”
I turn and stare at the little girl playing in the corner of the warehouse. “I swear.”
“I’ll be in and out. All I have to do is drop this in the bin.”
“Do you think it will be that easy?” I say, feeling my body tense with fear.
“I think if it’s done right, it can be.”
“What if it goes wrong?” I whisper.
She steps forward, gripping my face. “You have a good group of guys here; they’re not going to let anything happen to you.”
“What about you?”
She shakes her hand. “I have to drop it in the bin. That’s it. Easy. Simple.”
“Promise me if it looks like you’re going to end up caught, you won’t do it.”
She nods. “I swear it.”
“I love you, you know that?”
She smiles, leaning down to kiss my cheek and hug me once more. “I know it, and I’ll be fine. I have to go, I’ll be back soon. I swear.”
She smiles, and turns, heading out the door. I watch her go, praying, just praying this goes right.

SERENITY
“I’m going with you Jackson,” I say, standing my ground. My arms are crossed, and I know the look in my eye is that of a determined woman.
“Like fuck you are!” he growls, crossing his arms too, and glaring at me.
“I know the land. I know where to hide. I know where you can see without being seen. Without me, you’ll put yourself in danger. You risk being caught.”
“She’s right boss,” Cade says, sucking on a cigarette. “We need her help. We don’t want to fuck this up a second time.”
“She’s carryin’ my motherfuckin’ baby!” Jackson bellows.
“She’s goin’ to be far enough away it won’t be a problem, we just need her to show us where to hide, and then someone can bring her back.”
I give Jackson a look, even though he’s glaring at me. “Jackson, you know this has to happen.”
“Fine,” he barks. “You point it out, and then you’re gone. I mean it, Serenity.”
I nod, knowing this is hard for him, but also knowing I have to do it. “I understand.”
“Let’s get goin’, we don’t have much time left.”
I turn to Ebony and Janine, who are standing, watching me. Janine managed to get the bomb in without problems. She said Derek didn’t even notice she was back. He was busy fucking some other woman. That sparked her determination. I hurry over, wrapping my arms around the both of them, hoping we all come home safely from this.
“I love you two!”
“Be safe,” Janine whispers. “Please.”
“I will, I promise.”
“Take this,” she says, staring around quickly before slipping a gun out of her pants.
“Where did you get this?” I whisper harshly.
“I stole it from Derek.”
I shake my head, putting my hands up. “I won’t need it.”
She meets my eyes, hers full of concern. “You never know, it’s not worth the risk.”
“Come on, Serenity,” Jackson yells.
“I love you!” I whisper, taking the gun and tucking it into my pants. “I’ll be back soon.”
She nods, her face concerned. I blow her a kiss before turning and rushing out.
~*~*~*~
The drive to my old home town is long, around about two hours. We all sit quietly - Jackson, Spike, Muff, Cade, Granger, and I. I know we’re all worried, and thinking that if this doesn’t work, there’s going to be a war on our hands. We don’t have much choice though. We need to finish this, or we’re never going to live safely. Hogan won’t just give up. He will destroy everyone that gets in his path.
Just before we arrive in town, my phone rings. I glance down at the screen and see it’s Hogan. My heart skitters. What the hell is he trying to ring me for? I haven’t heard from him since the shooting that day, well, at least I think I haven’t. I have had my phone off, today is the first time I’ve turned it back on, and it was only in case we needed it.
