“No problem. I’ll be ready for whatever you need.”
“Great. He’ll be in touch soon.”
* * * *
Corporal knew that his cousin was sending in help. He needed to sit tight a few more days. He had his things ready. A bag packed, guns, knife, supplies he might need. He thought about getting to North Carolina and seeing his cousins and of course seeing Berlin. His chest felt tight. He prayed so hard that his cousins would be attracted to her and that she would feel that attraction as well. Talking to her yesterday felt like they were already in a relationship, and the one thing to confirm and solidify it all was him joining them and making love to her together.
He was excited, hopeful that the one good thing that could come from this mess would be their happiness and finding a true, honest, amazing woman to be all of theirs. If things worked out like he planned, Berlin would never have to testify. Her signed witness testimony would be enough for a jury and judge to make a final decision and the danger that she still may be exposed to would keep her out of court.
Corporal heard some noises. It sounded like the outside porch floor creaked. He reached for the gun as the door burst open. Shots were fired at him. He jumped and rolled then shot back, killing one, two, three men in black. As he waited and listened he heard a noise coming from inside the small house. They must have broken in through the bedroom. He shot at the lamp making the entire room black. He stood up, his back against the wall, his adrenaline pumping, and as a figure entered the living room, he kicked the gun from his hand, felt the kick to his jaw, and then he countered and shot the guy. Another came next. Bullets whizzed by his head as he ducked low and tackled one guy while shooting at the other one. How many were there?
He rolled around, fighting one of them, losing his gun in the struggle. They punched and swung hard, but he was determined to get through this.
“Fuck you,” he roared, wanting to get to Berlin and his cousins. She was his motivation, his will to fight.
They struggled for the gun, both reaching for it but Corporal grabbed a hold of it and shot as the guy in the black mask jumped toward him. He shoved his body off of him and was furious about this attack. He wanted answers. He knew that Drover called in his friends and other men he knew Corporal would trust. Did they figure out who was working for Forte? For the feds and the NYPD?
He grabbed the guy’s mask and yanked it off him. His eyes narrowed. “Cherokee, you fucking piece of shit.”
He dropped his head and Cherokee moaned. “Fuck you. You can’t win.”
“I can’t win? You’re going to die, traitor, dirty cop.”
“You think Kane wasn’t dirty? You’re fighting for a man who was all part of this. Getting cash to turn the other way and sell you out.”
Corporal felt the insult. “It goes beyond him, asshole.”
Cherokee coughed and then cringed. “You should have died on the pier. That stupid bitch saved you. She’s as good as dead. You’re too late,” he said and started coughing. Corporal stood up and stared at Cherokee as he suffered and took his last breath.
He said it was too late. Did Forte know where Berlin was? How did these men know that he was even here alone in this house? He racked his brain. His concern was for Berlin and his cousins.
He grabbed his stuff and headed out the door. He had to get to Berlin. He got into the truck and called Drover. He heard his groggy voice, and imagined him and his cousins in bed with Berlin, making love to her. Sealing the bond that he longed to be a part of.
“I’m not at that location anymore. Unexpected guests,” Corporal said.
“Fuck. What do you need?”
“The pick up earlier. They might know about you guys now and where you are.”
“Should we take her someplace?”
“Not until I get there. Just trust no one.”
“You got it.”
He disconnected the call and headed out of the area. As he drove he contacted Scuba.
“Corporal? What’s wrong?”
“My location was compromised. There’s a bit of a mess to clean up, but I got confirmation that Cherokee was involved and helping Forte.”
“How?”
“He just tried to kill me with about six or seven others. I didn’t stick around to count.”
“Shit. Where are you going now?”
“A new spot.”
“I can get what you need and take care of the mess there.”
“I’ll be fine. I’ve got friends helping me now. I’ll be in touch.”
“Are you heading to protect Berlin?” he asked and Corporal got an uneasy feeling in his gut. Why would Scuba ask that? Also, why wasn’t Scuba sleeping? It was three o’clock in the morning.
“No. The last thing I want to do is bring these assholes closer to her.”
“Well, call me if you need anything. You still have the truck?” he asked, and Corporal found that question suspicious, too.
“Yeah,” he said and then continued down the highway looking around him.
“Call if you need anything at all.”
“I will.” He disconnected the call and then heard his cell phone ringing.
“Drover, what is it?”
“Not good. Vincent called. There are seven guys on the department all getting paid money working for Forte. Three in the federal government and Vincent says Internal Affairs is involved with the ones in the PD and another government agency is investigating the feds. Scuba is on that list, Corporal,” Drover told him.
“Fuck. I can’t believe it, yet when I just called him and told him my position was compromised, he asked if I was going to meet up with Berlin, and also if I was driving the same truck.”
“It’s wired.”
Corporal was processing his thoughts.
“I can have men wherever you are in a flash. They were heading to meet up with you in a few hours.”
“Let me see where I wind up. I think I need to eliminate a few more assholes. Also, I’m assuming Scuba and those fucks are going to try and pin murders on me. Can I get legit investigators to the house pronto?”
“I’m on it, and everything has been documented, plus I have all the information you sent me, too.”
“Good, because if I die trying to get to you guys and Berlin, I want you to promise me you do what is necessary to get Forte.”
“You’ll get here, and we’ll take him down together.”
Corporal disconnected the call. As he was looking up his contact his phone rang. “Yeah.”
“It’s Micah. I understand you may have a little problem with some unwanted escorts.” He chuckled.
“Yeah, Micah, you could say that.”
“What’s your location right now?” Micah asked and Corporal rambled off what the GPS indicated on the vehicle.
He could hear typing in the background as well as someone else’s voice. “Okay, Jace and Graham are here and they say you’re about thirty minutes from this old campsite. It’s broken down and abandoned, plus nothing around for miles. It’s a bitch to get through and nothing but dirt roads, but a great spot to eliminate problems and get you back on track. I’ll have three men there before you arrive. One will meet you and tell you where to park the truck. Wait for that company to show up and do what is necessary. Then those men will have you take a different vehicle and you can head where you need to.”
“I appreciate this, Micah. Let your brothers know, too.”
“Hey, these men are bad news. They kill, murder, and steal all the time. They’re connected to Rogan Landers. Vincent is connected with this guy in Internal Affairs, and they say they have evidence to put Forte behind bars for life, and this guy Landers if Forte rolls over. Drover is putting out word that Forte is conversing with the feds and giving info on Landers. He’s hoping that the two of them will then go after one another. Either way, when they do, the right investigators will get that information,” Micah explained.
“Jesus. This shit just keeps getting deeper and deeper. If Forte can be
found and arrested or killed it will all end there,” Corporal said.
“We know that. So far, no one has a clue as to where he is.”
“What about his main guys, Mozely, Yanni, and Banks?”
“We’re working on it. Nothing yet, but I think we’re getting close.”
“Good. I appreciate the help.”
“Be ready for them.”
Corporal ended the call and felt a bit relieved to have such good friends and connections in a time like this. He wouldn’t bring the danger to Berlin and his cousins. This had to end at this campsite, then he would leave finding Forte, Mozely, Yanni, and Banks up to Internal Affairs, his cousin, and the Hunt men. He was on edge and antsy to get to the campsite and eliminate the men. He wanted to get to Berlin sooner rather than later.
* * * *
“He has cousins and an aunt in North Carolina,” Banks told Forte as he placed a piece of paper down onto Forte’s desk. “Satellite images show it’s a nice sized place, multiple cabins. They only take reservations and are filled up right now. However, there’s another smaller campsite around the mountain. We’re thinking we could enter from the woods, locate where they are keeping Berlin, and do a grab during the night.”
“Sounds like a plan, but now we have bigger problems. Someone got information to Launders about the money deal I did behind his back. He’s pissed. I closed him out, and now he thinks I’m going to roll over for the feds I’m supposedly talking to.”
“Shit, if he tells Hanze about that, you’re fucked. We all are.”
“Yeah, well it’s looking that way. I’ve lost just about all my men. Cherokee is dead. The feds just picked up my inside informants. Internal Affairs is snooping around the cops I had working for me, and it’s leading me to believe that we’re going under.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Kill them all. Get some eyes and ears on that campsite and a confirmed sighting of Berlin. If Corporal is heading her way, then he can die, too, along with his cousins and Berlin, their aunt, and whoever else comes out of the woodwork to help them.”
“And what about Launders?”
“If he finds me, then so be it. All I know is that Corporal and everything he holds dear to him are going to suffer. Starting with that social worker. Now where are the other men that Scuba is supposed to have following Corporal’s truck?”
“They got a location on it. We’ll hear back from them after they kill him,” Banks said to him.
“If they kill him. He seems to be steps ahead at all times. That needs to come to an end, too.”
Chapter Nine
Berlin was laughing as Grady threw her over his shoulder as they walked through the woods.
“Put me down, Grady.” She slapped his ass and he laughed.
“Oh, you are going to get a nice pink ass when I get you to the cabin,” he told her and she exhaled in frustration. The week had passed with middle of the night phone calls and Drover refusing to tell her what was going on. She was frustrated and worried. Now Damon had disappeared hours ago, leaving Grady and her alone all morning and afternoon. They made love several times, ate apple pie off one another’s bodies, and after showers and some lunch they went on a walk.
It didn’t last long and just as she started asking about where the trails led and if they could follow one for a bit, he suddenly threw her over his shoulder and started heading through the woods and back to his cabin. Obviously, he wanted to make love again. Once they got to the walkway he set her feet down on the ground and she gave his ass a hard smack and then ran for the door with him chasing her. He was on her heels, warning her that she was going to ruin the surprise he had waiting for her. She knew about his surprises. He told her the same thing yesterday and then whipped out his cock and literally tore her clothes from her body in a desperate need to make love. Damon and Drover were no different. They ravaged her ever chance they got.
As she ran into the room laughing, she stopped short, gasped, and covered her mouth. Corporal was standing in the living room with Damon and Drover. He was battered, bruised on his face and head. He looked at her and she ran to him and jumped into his arms. He squeezed her tight and she cried hysterically.
“You’re here. Oh God, is it over? Are you safe now?” she asked, pulling back as he cupped her head and hair and kissed her deeply. She felt him walking, climbing the steps, and then he lowered her down to the bed. She stared up at him, at his trimmed beard, dark blue eyes, and handsome face, despite the cuts and bruises.
“I missed you so much,” he said to her.
“I missed you, too.”
He ran his palms up her sweater and cupped her breast.
“Are you all healed up?” he asked.
She nodded. “And you? These look sore.” She reached up and cupped his cheek. He licked his lips.
“I don’t feel shit right now, baby. My focus is finally being here with you.”
She lifted up and kissed him. He rolled to his back pulling off her sweater and bra. His eyes widened and she ran her hands up his chest.
“My God, Berlin, you’re exceptional,” he told her. She looked at the bandage on his shoulder. Tears filled her eyes.
“The gunshot,” she said and he gripped her hand and wrist and brought it to his mouth.
“I’m fine. Alive because of you.” He kissed her knuckles. She heard the floor creak and looked over her shoulder. All three of his cousins were there.
“We’ll be downstairs,” Drover said to them.
“No,” she stated and then looked at Corporal.
“You wanted me to meet them. You hoped they would want me like you said you want me. One family? Altogether, the five of us, right?” she asked.
He reached up and cupped her cheek. He smiled. “Yes, baby.”
She looked at them. “We’re finally all together. Let’s make it official.”
She looked back at Corporal, who rolled her to her back and stood up. He pulled off her pants and panties, then took off his clothes. He worried his bottom lip and lowered down to the rug and spread her thighs wide. She watched him take in the sight of her as she took in his muscles, his sexy features and that battered face and body. He fought so hard to get here. Was it over?
She gasped as he licked her cunt, then down over her anus. Back and forth he feasted on her as Damon, Drover, and Grady joined them by the bed. Damon and Drover placed her hands above her head, then swooped down and feasted on her tits. They sucked and tugged hard. She wiggled and came, and Corporal licked her clean.
“I knew you would be responsive to four lovers, Berlin. I hoped that you could handle all of us,” he said to her.
She moaned and thrust her hips upward.
“Oh God, Corporal, I was so scared. I thought you might be angry at me for falling in love with your cousins. I fought it because I had such strong feelings for you. Then you called and I did as you said. I let down my guard, but I missed you. I wanted you to be part of this, too. Are we safe now, Corporal?” she asked. He lifted up and his cousins moved back. He cupped her cheeks and held her gaze. “We’ll talk about it later, right now I want to make love to my woman. I want to share you with my cousins and bind this relationship, this bond forever.”
She blinked her eyes and Damon moved out of the way and Corporal rolled to his back, taking her with him. She straddled his hips and he wiggled down lower on the bed so her ass was hanging off it. She felt the hands on her back, and then lips against her neck and shoulder.
“We’ll take you together. We all need this right now, baby,” Damon told her.
“Yes. I need it, too. You all complete me.”
Berlin lifted up and lowered down over Corporal’s thick, hard shaft. He held her hip with one hand, and with the other reached up and gripped the back of her head and her hair with the other in a possessive, needy manner. It aroused her as tears leaked from her eyes, and he thrust upward, making love to her for the very first time.
“I love you,” she whispered.
She rocked her hips back.
Smack.
She pulled from Corporal’s mouth. “Damon,” she reprimanded and he slapped her ass again.
“I could hurt you if I go in too fast. You be patient and we’ll fill you up with cock all night,” he said. She looked at Corporal and then closed her eyes as Damon replaced his fingers with his cock.
Corporal pulled her lower and began to suckle her breast and nipple while he thrust his hips upward. Damon slid all the way into her ass and the three of them moaned. She felt full, unable to breathe, but then Corporal released her breast and she felt the hands entwine into her hair, and then turned to the right to see Drover there holding his cock in his hand. She licked her lips and let her body be controlled by Corporal and Damon. She lowered down and the bed rocked and creaked. She licked the tip of Drover’s cock and then slid her mouth over it, taking his cock deep into her throat. She eased it back out and began a slow pace until Damon and Corporal got wild.
They were both thrusting, stroking into her pussy and ass. Damon pounded into her and roared as he came. He pulled out and she felt the loss. Corporal thrust upward, gripped her hips, and then she felt Grady behind her. A moment later his cock was at her anus and he was pushing into her again. Drover started to pump his hips and then she moaned and he came. She sucked him clean and he pulled out and both Grady and Corporal stroked into her pussy and ass. She could feel her body tighten when suddenly Grady smacked her ass and then came. As she cried out she orgasmed, too.
