When they had gotten to TM, all the families were happy to see everyone okay. Jax immediately got cornered by Gemma who demanded to know everything that happened. With everyone distracted, Lily was able to slip away to Happy's dorm unnoticed. It wasn't like she had anyone waiting to make sure she was okay anyways.
It was a quick shower. She wanted to get all the grime off of her and then go take care of Adam. She wanted to put all the Devil's Horsemen behind her. There was one thing that would be a reminder until her debt was paid. She wished she could just ignore it, but she knew better. People like Miguel Galindo don't just forget people who owe them favors.
Lily sat down on the bed wrapped in just her towel. She stared at her phone debating if she should make the call now or wait. If she did it now, she would get it done and over with. If she waited, she could pretend everything was okay. That's not how she lived her life; with her head in the sand.
She dialed Miguel's number before she had a chance to rethink it. While it rang, her mind went through all the worst possibilities. Of course, she kept going back to owing her entire life to Galindo.
"Lilith," Galindo answered. "I've been expecting your call."
"Yeah, things went a little south," she sighed.
"How south?" he asked darkly.
She took a deep breath. "They somehow found out that we were coming. They let us search the building. When we came out, they were waiting."
"Well, I'm talking to you so you must've made it out alive."
"Death Dealers showed up. They took care of the Horsemen. We have their president."
"You didn't lose any men," Galindo guessed. "But since I haven't heard from any of the men that I sent, I assume not everyone made it."
Lily sighed and decided to bite the bullet. "Your men were the only ones that didn't make it. Every Son and Mayan made it out without even a scratch."
"How convenient," he chuckled. "Well, lucky for you, I only lost one man down here. So that's only five favors you owe me."
"Five too many," she mumbled.
"You'll be hearing from me," he said ominously.
The line went silent. Lily dropped the phone onto the bed next to her. She was screwed, but she would deal with it when the time came.
After she was dressed, she headed out into the clubhouse. She just wanted to find Jax and head to reservation. She spotted Jax sitting with Chibs at the bar. She went over to him. Chibs saw her coming and stopped talking.
"Hey," she said to Jax. "Are you ready?"
Jax nodded and stood up. "You sure you wanna be apart of this?" he asked.
She stopped and stared at him. "You really asking me that?" she asked. Before they had a chance to say anything, she walked away from them.
Jax shared a look with Chibs. They might have forgotten that Lily wasn't just smart; she was a cold blooded killer. Chibs shrugged in reply.
Lily followed Jax and Chibs down the dirt road in her car. They parked outside the same building they had kept Rooster prisoner. Happy walked outside as Lily got out of her car. He looked her over as they walked towards the building.
"Have you done anything yet?" Jax asked.
"No, waiting for you," Hap explained, his eyes not leaving Lily.
"How do you want to handle this?" Lily asked Jax trying to ignore Happy's eyes
He thought about it for a moment. "Follow my lead."
Lily finally looked to Happy; his dark eyes piercing her. Then they followed Jax and Chibs into the small room. Adam was tied to a chair in the middle of the room. Happy had the foresight to put plastic sheeting down everywhere.
Adam look up with a small smile. He knew what was coming. It was over for him.
"You killed my wife," Jax said through his teeth.
"Who's your wife?" Adam asked. "Cause I've killed so many that I've lost track."
Jax punched Adam as hard as he could in the face. Jax brushed his hair out of his face. "You're gonna pay for what you've done." Jax turned away from Adam and took a Bowie knife off the table in the corner. He held it up between him and Adam. He let the anticipation build and then finally brought the blade to Adam's skin.
Lily stood back and watched Jax carve Adam apart. She was actually glad that she wasn't the one doing the torturing. She saw the blood dripping from the end of the knife as Jax took a moment to catch his breath. It reminded her of that night in a warehouse a long time ago. The amount of blood that covered her hands for the first time.
"You okay?" Happy asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Yeah," she said automatically.
Hap looked at her doubtfully. He could see there was something on her mind.
She sighed when she realized he wasn't going to let it go. She lowered her voice so she wouldn't interrupt Jax. "It just made me think of the first time I..." She licked her lips and looked down at her feet. "I did that." She wasn't a good person. She was a freaking mercenary for Christ's sake. She tried to make up for it, but at the end of the day she was still a killer.
"You did what you had to do," Happy told her.
"I know."
She leaned back against the wall and watched. It was close to being over. Jax wanted to draw it out. He wanted him to be in as much pain as possible.
Adam was close to passing out when he looked to Lily. "Do you not want a piece of me yourself?"
Everyone looked at her expectantly. "If I had it my way, you would be dead already."
Jax pulled out his gun and pointed it at Adam. "Do you have any last words?" he asked.
"Someone else will come and finish this," Adam said. "This is not the end."
"It is for you," Jax said before pulling the trigger.
"We'll get the prospects in here to clean this up," Chibs said as Jax cleaned himself up.
Jax shook his head. "They can clean up the room, but I want one of us to take care of the body. Make sure it's done right."
"Hap and I will do it," Lily volunteered. "You guys can go back to the clubhouse. I'm sure there's a party in full swing." Truth was, she wanted to spend some time alone with Happy.
She could see that Chibs and Jax were still unsure. "Go," she said. "This isn't our first time burying a body."
"Alright, fine," Jax said finally. He came over to her and wrapped an arm around her. "But I better see you there, okay?"
"We'll be there," she nodded. Jax kissed her cheek and then left with Chibs. She was left with Happy in the small room. They looked over the mess. "Just like old times, huh?"
Happy cracked a smile, and then they got to work. They loaded the body into the back of the van. The drive to the woods was quiet. Lily stared out the window as Happy drove. She couldn't see anything as it was pitch black outside.
When they finally got to the spot, Happy turned to her. "You can stay here," he told her. "I can do this myself."
She smiled and reached out to touch his arm. "You know how much I love to dig holes."
"I just thought you might've gone soft since you have people clean up after you now," he smirked.
"Shut up," she glared at him.
They got out of the van and went around to the back. Happy took out the shovels and handed one to Lily. She followed Hap to the spot he had picked out, and they started digging.
Every once in a while, Lily would catch herself watching Happy. She would get a glimpse of his muscles flexing in the moonlight. This wasn't the first time they had dug a grave together, but it was the first time since they realized they had feelings for each other.
"Are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to help?" Happy grumbled.
She leaned against the shovel. "Why did it take us so long for us to finally sleep together?" His eyes flashed to hers. "Just imagine all the great sex we could have been having."
"Loveless," he warned. He did not like having a job unfinished, but she was making it hard to say no.
"Come on, Hap," she said, making her way around the hole to him. He dropped the shovel and automatically took her into his arms. "We should make up for it now," she suggested. Her hands went up under his shirt.
"Here?" he asked in surprise. They were in the middle of the woods. Surrounded by unmarked graves.
She shrugged. "Why not?" Her hand came to rest on his abdomen where his smiley faces were. "We're messed up individuals."
"You don't know what you're asking, woman," he warned.
"Then show me," she whispered.
Hap didn't even let her think twice before he pushed her up against a nearby tree. Her legs wrapping around his waist.
"Fuck me like you mean it, Lowman," she said seductively.
His mouth attacked her neck. He found a spot that made her let out a loud moan that drove him crazy. He tore her shirt off in a flash and her bra along with it. He ducked his head down to her bare breast. He was obsessed with her body. The softness of her skin was intoxicating. The curves of her body were addicting. He couldn't take it any longer. He had to have her right then.
He set her down on the ground. He turned her around to face the tree. His hands dipped down into the front of her pants. "Are you wet for me?" he whispered in her ear. She moaned in reply. "No, say it."
"Yes," she managed to mumbled as his fingers found a rather sensitive spot.
He smirked and sucked on her earlobe. He unbuttoned her jeans and forced them down over her round ass. He ran his hands over the curve of her ass. His fingers dipped into her folds to see for himself how wet she really was.
"My god, woman," he moaned when he found she was dripping wet.
Lily heard his belt and his pants drop. He took a hold of her hips and brought her back to meet his hips. He moved his hips in just the right way so she could feel every inch of him. One hand reached around to her breast while the other lined himself up with her entrance. He was taking his time with her. They were in the middle of the woods, but he wanted to savor her.
She couldn't stop herself from moaning when he slowly slid into her. He gave her only a second to adjust before thrusting into her. His movements were precise. He knew exactly what to do to make her fall apart. They had only been together a handful of times, but he spent their time getting to know exactly what made her fall apart.
He was getting to his release, and he knew she was getting close too. He nipped at the sensitive spot on her neck at the base of her jaw. He reached around and started rubbing her clit. He could feel her start to fall apart around him. She cried out in pure bliss as she came. It only took Happy two more pumps before he found his release.
She leaned back against him as he stayed inside of her. He wrapped his arms around her trying to catch his breath. "You're going to be the death of me, woman," he mumbled against her skin.
She turned her head to kiss him. "Good," she whispered.
They finally pulled apart. Happy quickly pulled up his pants. As he did he belt buckle, he watched Lily dress.
"I can feel you staring at me," Lily smirked as she pulled her shirt on over her head. She saw the hole that they had been digging before they had gotten distracted. She couldn't stop herself from laughing.
"What's so funny?" he asked. He had no idea why she could be laughing so hard.
"We really are fucked up," she said through her giggles. She motioned towards the unfinished hole.
The corners of his mouth lifted up. "You liked it."
She smoothed out her hair. "Damn straight," she smirked. "We should probably finish this. We're missing the party. They'll wonder where we are."
"It's worth it," he grumbled.
She smiled as she picked up her shovel. "We should do this more often," she said suddenly.
"Burying a body or fucking?" he asked as he started digging again.
She thought about it for a moment. "Both."
The muscle in his jaw twitched. "That's gonna be hard to do when you leave." It was only a matter of time before she left Charming. She needed to deal with Clay, and after that there was nothing keeping her there.
"Actually," she said slowly. "I've been thinking of buying a house in Charming."
"What?"
She shrugged. "I mean, it depends on how Jax and the club handles the news about Clay, but it might be nice to have a home here. I would still have to travel for work. It would be better than staying in your crappy apartment."
"Hey, not all of us can have twenty houses all over the country."
"And not all of us reuse condoms," she said pointedly.
"Are you ever gonna let that go?" he grumbled. "That was one time."
"Never," she smirked.
They finished burying the body. It felt good to be finished with the Devil's Horsemen. The Sons were safe for now.
