Some fuck is going on around here. I don't know what, but I can always tell. I kept my eye on Brandon because he was the one with the latest drama. Who the fuck needed A&E with this bunch?"Clay." I caught him coming out of his room at the clubhouse, zipping up in the middle of the day. It was a wonder I ever got anything done around here, what with all the screwing that went on around the place."Law?" He had a stupid grin on his face and a scratch on his neck that I didn't even wanna know about. "That wound had better be from Ginger Lee because I am not in the mood for one of your woman's tantrums.""You and me both." Just then, she came hustling out of the room looking like she'd gone a round or two herself and gave me a shy smile and a wave before heading out. Probably off to find the rest of her posse to get into more shit that didn't have anything to do with them."What the hell are you asshats up to?" I didn't have time to dwell on the women and their shit."Who, what?""D
I still haven't figured out what the hell is going on, but at least I got some shit done. If I didn't know better, I would think someone was running herd on my wife since it had been some time since I'd seen her, and that was not normal. Usually, I would've been bombarded with questions and suggestions every hour on the hour. I missed it, missed her.I went in search of her and lucked out when I saw her coming out of my brother's place. There was something hinky about the way the other women grinned when they caught sight of me, but there's always some fuck going on with them, so I didn't pay it too much mind."Hey, Lawton." If her greeting was overly bright, I put that down to her missing me too, and when she ran over and threw herself into my arms, only a lifted brow gave away my surprise. Oh yeah, there was definitely something up with this one. I wonder what it was she was going to bombard me with as soon as we got behind closed doors.It was coming on to dusk, and the day had b
I was lying on the bed beside her, huffing and puffing like a freight train, when my phone went off. I can't catch a break in this joint."It's me.""Boss, we've got trouble.""What kind of trouble?" I looked down at the woman on my chest. Too often here of late, I've been hitting it and running with no cuddle time in between, and I knew she needed that shit.I lifted her head off my chest and laid it on my pillow instead. She was out cold anyway, so I didn't feel too guilty. She sighed and burrowed deeper into the pillow as I headed out of the room."Brand's woman's people are here.""We've got a leak. There's no way they could've known we had her this soon. Keep their asses outside. I don't want them inside." I smelt like sex, so I had to detour to the bathroom to clean myself up."It's been a couple days, boss; maybe they just put it together. Either way, I'll do a search and see if one of ours crossed over.""You do that, Clay." I hung up the phone, none too pleased with th
I got up the next day with a sore dick and a shit load on my plate. My brother and cousin were up to their assholes in bullshit and neither of them was talking. But for some reason when I walked out my house everything seemed to be just fine. By that I mean there were no guns blazing and no sheriff at my gate. The day was young yet but I could always hope.The men were milling around looking busy with something other than dealing with fucktards for once, and for the first time in weeks there was no feeling of impending doom hanging over my head. In short, peace reigned on the Daniels ranch, at least outwardly it did. I won't be able to claim that blessed emotion until everyone who had a hand in my family's deaths had been dispatched to hell.Even the sun was being cooperative today after the last few days of rain and cloudy skies. I walked towards the clubhouse with a lighter step than I've had in a very long time. Everything felt lighter this morning in fact.That shit ought to
Oh sweet glory do I ache. The sun peeped through the new curtains I'd made for the windows and I squinted my eyes open as I reached for him. My hand met empty space as my eyes finally opened fully. His pillow still held the warmth from his head and as I buried my face in it his scent still clung to the soft cotton.I smiled and squeezed the pillow as happiness flooded me. A few months ago I never thought I would ever be happy again. My life was a bleak empty void with nothing but marriage to a man old enough to be my grandfather to look forward to. But my Lawton had saved me and now my life had taken a complete turn. I'm one lucky girl and I know it.If not for Lawton there's no telling what would've become of me. I'd defied my dad until he'd beaten me almost to death, but I still wouldn't give into marrying Royce, the man was repulsive. The day I'd ended up here was the day my old life ended and this one begun. Broken and bruised as I was, I remember my first sight of him. Remembe
I wasn't back there fucking with the books ten minutes it seemed like, before I heard a commotion coming through the walls. I didn't need the door to open for me to know who was behind the racket. She's up. I'm gonna have to have another talk with my wife about her damn caterwauling. For someone who'd gone to a fancy school where they were supposed to teach women manners and etiquette and shit, she sure hadn't picked up much. She fucks like a well-trained courtesan and yells like a damn banshee. And the way things were going with her and her crew she'd be cussing like a sailor next."Lawton…" She came busting through the door, her face like a storm cloud."Dana Sue what is it? Are you hurt, bleeding, about to lose a limb? If it's none of the above then please leave me to what it is I'm doing here." She looked like I'd slapped her but what the fuck? She had to learn to handle shit on her own if it wasn't a matter of life or death. There will be times when I won't be here, what
As much as I've tried to explain shit to her late at night while we were alone in bed, after the fireworks and her little high-strung ass was mellow, it seemed to have gone out the window. Or more like her new crew keeps putting shit in her head."What is it that you think you're doing here?""You told me to handle it and so I am." She folded her arms to which I raised my brow and she corrected that shit quick. I wasn't about to dress her down in front of everyone, but we'd talked about this shit and she wasn't listening too good so something had to be done."First, those women that got you to go against me in this shit, will not take your ass whipping for you, second, I told you more than once to leave this shit alone. Instead of listening to me, you have decided to force my hand." "There's a reason I told you to leave them alone, they serve a fucking purpose and just because they're called fucking sheep they're still women, some of them with fucked up lives and fucked up stories
My fucking place was like a cold war after that. Her hardheaded ass can hold a grudge and she has her ways of letting her displeasure be known. I guess I didn't take into consideration that she might be a little jealous of these women since I never gave her any reason to be. Her answer to my little speech was to lock herself away from the festivities and me, for the rest of the day.I would've taken her ass to task for her petty behavior but got sidetracked by Brandon and Clay with their shit. "What is it now?" They cornered me in the office at the clubhouse where I'd gone to get the fuck away. I won't ever admit it but I had made myself scarce too while the others were partying. I couldn't bring myself to hurt her spoilt ass farther by going out there."We've got a problem. Illyana just told me something that I think we need to move on before there's trouble." Brand looked ready to chew nails and I wondered what the fuck the hate brigade could've done in the last few hours to pi
Hah, Colton Lyon thinks he's slick, but he forgot that I know him very well. I didn't spend the last eighteen years with him not to learn a thing or two. I knew when he sidled up to me this afternoon and sweet-talked me into throwing this impromptu barbecue that there was something more behind it.I didn't ask too many questions, though, because I was sure that whatever he was up to had to do with our friends, so I'd warned the girls to be on the lookout and just go with the flow.The sheriff showing up here was unexpected, though, but apparently, that was part of Colt's plan whatever it was. "Look!" I pointed out Law walking away with the baby after the little talk he'd just had with Colt and Creed."Whatever it is has been taken care of. Now we can breathe easy.""If you hadn't warned us in advance, I would've died of fright when your man came over and told me to take the baby to Law."Dana-Sue actually shivered as she looked in the direction of our men. I've told them a million
Mancini had called earlier with the news that it was taking him longer than expected to smoke Junior out. Kyle, Travis, Lyon, and Creed have been acting shifty-shady since this afternoon, and now this."Fuck!" How could I be this stupid? Mancini found the Fox in the desert a few thousand miles away, how is it that he can't find one spineless asshole stateside? Shit!"Lyon, what did you do?"He had his burger halfway to his mouth when I asked, and just then his phone rang. He didn't say anything more than hello before he smiled and hung up again."***LYON***That was perfect fucking timing. Now there's no question of the asshole sheriff coming at my boy for this shit. I'm pretty sure he won't be heading back this way anytime soon since his hands were about to be full. The only thing left to do now was tell Law and get the hell back home.I walked over to Creed, who looked like he was holding his very pregnant wife up while she chowed down on some grub. "Creed, a minute." He
I'm not trusting this shit, one fuck! I looked around at the BBQ pits that were already smoking and the men and women who stood around my yard. I'm not sure even Dana-Sue, who was the one to come to me with the idea for the impromptu get together, knew what was really going on.After I'd caught Lyon and the others with their heads together this afternoon, I've been on high alert, but they weren't giving away anything, even Kyle, who I could usually threaten into telling me the truth.That boy had grown up way too fast in the last year or so, something I regret but understand. He's my little brother, the only one of my blood left after the massacre, but he's still a man. Now he has our cousin here to back his plays I can't keep a leash on either of their asses.I didn't suspect anything right away when Dana-Sue came to me with the idea, but as time went by, I started to get that feeling. Lyon's sneaky ass is up to something. I'm not sure what, though, since he'd turned my place into
"Travis pullout!""No fucking dice." I rocked my cock into her harder and grinned at the fury on her little face. All these years later, her pussy's still tight as fuck. "I think it's time we give the kids a sib."She tried pushing me off her with her hands on my chest and out of her snatch with her tight pussy muscles. A hand wrapped tight around her throat soon put a stop to that shit. I leaned in close and licked her lips before drawing her tongue out with mine.She wrapped her legs around my hips and pushed her pussy harder along my cock, no longer interested in me pulling out. I knew that would do it, little freak. I fucked her like it was the first time, hard and deep with a finger-tickling her puckered ass hole as my cock drilled into her and my tongue playing hide and go seek in her mouth.Our youngest just turned five, three boys and one little princess who's all her mother, and I'm already missing the sound of little feet running around the house. "Give me another child."
I've already fielded calls from Lyon and Creed, both wanting the heads up once I get a bead on him. I'm pretty sure Law doesn't know what the two of them are up to, and I'm not getting in the middle of their shit. I've suffered more headaches since getting tangled up with those boys than at any other time in my life. Especially Colton Lyon, this fucking guy. I'd have thought with my aversion to authority that I'd be butting heads with the SEALs and maybe even Creed since they've all done time in the military.But funnily enough I get along just fine with them; it's Lyon, the only other one of us who didn't see any action that gives me the most grief. I'm convinced the generals in the army have nothing on his ass. At least he's just as opposed to anything in authority as I am.As my mind played over this latest debacle of theirs, my hand found its way to the hard mound of my wife's tummy where my kid laid. I still get a kick out of the way my life has changed in a little more than a
She wrapped her arms around me and sniffed my shirt before rubbing her nose across my chest. It's one of those weird things she does that makes no sense but gives me the warm and fuzzies all the same. And just that easily, I put everything else away and just enjoyed the feel of having my woman in my arms.With nine kids underfoot, these moments have become too fucking scarce. I realized then that it had been a long time since we'd had a moment to ourselves, not since the trips were born, in fact.With all the shit that's been going on, I'd dropped the ball. Have to get back to spending time with my girl; fuck everything else. I didn't bother calling her out on her shit, what's the point? She's following in her mother in law's footsteps complete with her own hen pack. As long as she's happy, we're good. I have ways of keeping her ass from going too far, but damn she's a sneaky one.I had no idea she was involved in this shit, but from what Mancini said earlier, it seems like all th
My house didn't look much different than when I left it hours earlier. The women were still gathered in the living room, but someone had been to the kitchen because lunch was on the table. There was no sign of the sheep, so I'm guessing the wives had taken care of it."Is he asleep?" She still had the baby bundled up in her arms like it was the middle of winter. "I just fed him, but this boy doesn't like sleep it seems like. He's been staring wide-eyed at everyone and everything for the last half an hour."Probably for self-preservation, poor kid. I reached for him, and she grudgingly gave him up after fussing at me about how to hold his head the right way. He looked up at me with my eyes, and my heart melted. Fuck me; I'm so done!Is this how my dad felt the first time he held me in his arms? Did his whole world shift too. Did he think of all the things he had to do to make my life better? How could something this small pack such a punch? I knew without having to be told that my li
If there were a way to do it without eyes falling on me and my people, I'd be the first one to say let's go for it. But since getting married, and now with the kid, I can no longer take those kinda chances. It's not like before when I had only myself to think about.Speaking of my son, every once in awhile, I had to shake my head to clear it because my mind kept going to him; I miss him already. He's brought a new kind of excitement to my life. It's because of him and his mother that I'm trying to tread more carefully now to make the right move at the right time.If I fuck up, it's not just me that will suffer, but those two as well. That's not something I can live with, no matter how much of a bitch Colt calls me for it. This fucking guy, he has more guts than ten men. "Colt, I told you before, we can't hit them both at the same time it'll raise too many eyebrows. Everyone knows I blame the sheriff for not arresting Royce for the murders. If both he and Junior come up missing at t
We'd gotten rid of one thorn in our side with the Fox, but there was still a lot of shit on all our plates. The SEALs were still hunting down the men who'd killed their CO, I still had Junior and the sheriff to deal with, and Lyon had his new shit. Creed is the only one whose shit was pretty much done. "So let's put this shit together, what're we looking at?" Lyon prowled around the room in that way of his, like a panther about to strike. "These boys were just telling me about your little bird that got away again. You sent the asshole bigot packing but we all know he's probably back in those hills starting his fuckery again. What else?""The sheriff, gotta get rid of his ass somehow. Once I take care of those three things I'm pretty much in the clear, but we can't have any loose ends if we're going to invite the senator here.""Have you ever thought of going to him?""Thought of that Creed, but that would mean Brand and his woman going it alone, not gonna happen." We'd played aro
