When the doc finally finished stitching up his wounded shoulder, Keegan called the pizza place to order their pizza and a side of bruschetta for Lexie, hoping that she still likes them. And the moment he arrived, Keegan popped the pain pill and the antibiotic before he entered the house with pizza in his hand. He had to take a deep breath, taking in the pain before he continued to walk to the front door. Harley's face lit up when he saw Keegan and the little kid ran towards him trying to help him with the small bag of food while he greeted Lexie with a kiss on the lips, after setting their pizza on the kitchen counter. She blushed a deep shade of red and Harley giggled teasing his sister and then telling Keegan that Lexie never blushed. "There was this one guy, she even pushed him away. I think Lexie likeeeees you." Harley teased after he was settled into his seat. Keegan laughed at his cheekiness, he liked that Harley was loosening up around him. He wanted the kid to be comfortable,
It was almost dawn when Lexie open her eyes and she realized that she was in Keegan's bed. She cursed silently, thinking that it was stupid of her to fall asleep in his arm. There will be no time for her to get close to someone. Not when she was running away from her stepdad. It was not wise of her to risk Harley's life. There was no time for her to seek romance, let alone from Keegan. The man had failed her once, most likely he was going to fail her again. The last time it happened was when she was still sixteen. Back then she barely knew what to do with a relationship, but Keegan was old enough to decide and he had decided to leave her behind. Harley was still asleep when she was back in their bed. It was still too early to start her morning activities so she decided to check on her phone and catch up on her emails which only reminded her of her impending bills, then she browse her text messages. There was only a couple of text that was waiting for her reply, mainly from her friend
It has been two days since the last time they went out. Keegan took them out to the park, they have revert their name to Mara and Cody until they decided on a new name for their new identity. Keegan said it was useless using their fake names since her stepdad had found out about her fake identities anyway. Keegan had pushed Mara's fake ID guy and had found out that it was him who gave out her name and helped her stepdad find Mara at her place of work. The sleazy guy had accidentally recognized her dancing in the club when he visited Babes with a few of his friends a few months back."Mara, can we go out for dinner? I'm bored." Her half-brother, Cody, was getting antsy since their last outing. It has been days since he played with his friends. Mara knew perfectly well that her brother won't ask for more, he knew that they were in hiding and she hated that he had to be subjected in that manner. "I will ask Keegan when he gets back, okay?""Can I call him? he said I can call anytime?"
It was almost ten when Keegan arrived home and Mara was waiting for him in the living room. Looking beautiful as always. He missed her all day, and seeing her looking comfortable on his sofa was a view he could really get used to. "Cody's asleep?""Like a lump. He tried to wait for you though, but you took too long. Busy day?"It was a trick question, he knew, and Keegan was careful in answering just as he'd done before. "Busy, still trying to find your stepdad's whereabouts." Keegan had some leads and he had knocked on doors and used his resources, but it was not something he was going to share with Mara, not yet. He didn't want to worry her when he knew that she was being patient enough with him. "He's slippery, he probably go under different names if he had found me through my fake ID guy. How about the police, wasn't he let out on some kind of probation? there must be some trail, right?" Keegan sighed, knowing Mara was going to be persistent with her questions. It was not lik
"What do you mean she's gone?" Keegan was half furious when he got home only to find a note from Mara, telling him that Cody was at Seamus and Charlotte's. In the note, she did thank him for his generosity in taking them in but in the end she was going to let her stepdad find her. Keegan had read the note, then read it, probably a dozen times before he checked the guest bedroom only to find that it was empty. Mara and Cody's belongings were all gone. Keegan looked at the tidy room and found that there was no indication of them having ever stayed there before. "Exactly that, and no, I don't know where she is. She wouldn't tell me anything about her plan only to say that she will let you know when it's time. Look, Keegan, now that you know... why don't you do your best and find her?" Charlotte raised her perfect brow, silently judging him for not doing his job.Keegan grunted, while Seamus just shook his head, telling him silently that whatever he was going to say was going to be share
"B-big trouble?" Mara parroted from the other line. Okay, granted that she hadn't answered or replied to Keegan's many calls and texts, but she didn't want her focus to be sidetracked. Keegan would surely convince her to stay back and waited some more when he had enough."Yes, you ought to be proud of yourself that he has found you. He's in the same building as you.""He is?" Okay, now she sounded stupid for repeating his words. Mara had checked in the motel under her and Cody's aliases and she had been walking around town hoping to get noticed by her stepdad. It was an easy plan and she had nothing to lose, not when she knows that Cody was in good hands. If anything should happen to her, her brother would be taken care of. He was young enough that he'd forget about her when he reached adulthood. But when she heard Keegan's voice, she could hear his anger trickled with worry, yeah...it was clear as day. Mara had recognized and could already have imagined his facial expression. She ha
Mara felt pain coursing through her arm. She managed to open her eyes only to squint from the brightness of her hospital room. It took her a couple of seconds to get her bearings and reminded herself of where she was and why she was there. "Hey, you're awake," The heavy drawl of his voice made her turn to her side and immediately Mara was faced by Keegan. "What time is it?" Mara tried to sit up and Keegan helped her when she winced from the pain. "Nine in the morning. The nurse had your breakfast delivered, do you want to...""Ugh, I need to brush my teeth and I need to go pee. Can you get one of the nurses to help me?""Why don't you let me help you." Keegan smiled at her. Last night Charlotte had Marjorie deliver Mara's toiletries and her change of clothes after Keegan told Seamus's wife that he was hoping that she would be discharged the next day."Oh...""Come on, it's not like I haven't seen you naked before." He grinned and watched how her face blushed from his words. A few
"How long are we staying here?" Cody asked while his mouth was full of his favorite cereal. Marjorie was in front of the stove, making breakfast for the rest of us minding her task and trying to give us privacy. "A couple of more weeks, or at least until I'm better and get things sorted with our old place.""Oh...I thought we were going back to Keegan's home."Mara really didn't want to bother Cody with their future plans and she didn't like seeing the disappointment on his face. Honestly, she still hadn't figured out everything. Last night she was up late thinking about it. Well, part of her brain was trying to think while another was wondering why Keegan was not back. Or did he come back to his place instead? Mara was still in the middle of thinking about it when the man himself joined them in the kitchen. He greeted Cody, tousling his hair and making her little brother giggle. "How are you this morning, Cody? Sorry, I didn't see you last night. I had to work late." He said then
Seven months later...Dee seemed to remember on her wedding night when she said that she couldn't wait to welcome their baby into the world. But as she was in labor, all memory of the sweet dreamy thoughts of welcoming their baby was instantly gone. She was cursing and yelling, telling her Rocco that she was so ready to go home and sleep it off. "I have been having contractions for eight hours, don't tell me to fucking relax! And where is Rockford?! Is this baby not important enough for him to be present?! Give me the phone, Rocco! I said give me the damn PHONE!" Dee yelled and her husband winced. This was not expected.Dee had heard labor nightmares from her friends, but since she had a very chillax pregnancy, she'd assumed that the baby would give her easy labor too. And damn...she couldn't be more wrong. "Rockford, where are you? I need my husbands here! I am not delivering this baby without you! I don't fucking care you're in the middle of the desert. Get someone to airlift you
Dee never thought she'd have the wedding of her dreams. She was a stripper. She dated her bartender boyfriend for years without any indication that he was going to marry her. At some stage, Dee had given up on her dream and was satisfied with having Rocco as her boyfriend for life. Months back she even dreaded the thought that Rocco had lost interest in their romance, as they were seeking for a third. But when Rockford came and perfected their relationship she dared to dream again. Fast forward her life two months later, she was putting on her wedding dress. Dee was four months pregnant. She was showing the cutest baby bump, but there she was in a beautiful wedding dress, looking perfect for their wedding reception.A few hours earlier she and Rocco had been declared as a husband and wife in the city hall. Rockford was there, and also her besties from Babes while their newer friends were waiting for their union, all three of them at the Markov Mansion.Bree, Charlotte, Cassidy, and
Being with Rocco had been great. Dee loved him. She had always been happy with him. But that Saturday afternoon in front of Rocco's parents' house, Dee was on the verge of panic. She was pregnant and involved with two men. What would Rocco's parents think of her?"Dee, are you okay? You look pale?" Rocco asked from the passenger seat while Rockford parked his shiny new black SUV that he got from his new employment. She could see Rockford's smug smile from the rearview mirror as if he knew exactly why she was nervous."Everything will be okay, Dee. They're the perfect set of parents and they know about our triad. It'll be only time until one of us puts a baby in you." Dee huffed and rested her back on her seat, her cute pout made the big man laugh even louder.As soon as Rockford proposed, Dee had been in a happy bliss. She was cherished by her two men. But in a matter of minutes, they were going to enter Rocco's family house. This was day three after Rockford had asked her and Rocco t
Rockford was frustrated. He thought they were happy. He figured that he could handle being in a relationship with the two of the people that he loved. Dee was great, she was doing good things with her time after she stopped dancing at Babes. He had also thought Rocco was doing great. The man was supposed to go to his parents. Rocco was telling both him and Dee that he was mending the time he lost with his parents. Now, he knew that Rocco had spent those couple of times a week in a motel, alone, trying to fight his depression with his pills. Fuck! How did it get to this? Rocco was a sweet, gorgeous man, who they both adored very much. When Becca advised Rockford to put their man on a twenty-four-hour hold at the clinic he instantly told her no. He was going to take care of their man and he was going to take him home and get to the bottom of their issues. The issues that Rockford was not aware they even had.He agreed to take Rocco to his doctor the next day and was ready to be up al
"Where's Dee?" Rocco heard his boyfriend ask the moment he was back from his late-night meetings with his new crew."She's having a sleepover with her Babes women. Bree was giving her a farewell party." Yes. Rocco was happy that Dee decided to quit dancing at Babes. Rockford had made sure that he was going to provide for them, but Dee had other plans, she was roped in by the mob wives for pole class lessons, and Bree had also introduced her to the idea of an online class for her Pole Dance lessons. "And why aren't you there too?""Eh...it's an all-girls thing." Aside from Dee and his co-workers, Rocco realizes that he has no friends, sure he has work friends but it has been hard for him to open himself up with his past. He kept on thinking what happened to him was his fault, he always felt that somehow he was too social back in college. That was why he became a bartender, the bar was the one thing that kept his social personality in place. The man felt safe with a barrier between him
Dee had no idea what to expect when Rockford told them that they were to attend lunch at his future employer's house. Well, looking at the driveway she knew that it was more of a mansion than a house. She could feel Rocco was getting tense beside her, and when her eyes caught Rockford's through the rearview mirror she knew that he was getting nervous about Rocco being there too. Dee realized that Rockford wanted this badly. She didn't know about his past, but knowing that he used to be the VP of a biker club she could already imagine the years that he had spent as security staff at Babes. Must be boring as hell. Dee wanted to feel sorry for their man, but she knew that he wouldn't want her to. So she stayed silent and for the time being, all she could do was to support him and make sure that Rocco wouldn't make a fool of himself by being the sweet man who loved their boyfriend and cared for his safety. With his trauma Dee didn't want to push Rocco, she didn't know how his mind work
Rockford was fussing with their breakfast, he had ordered room service for the complete continental breakfast before easing them on the happy news. Well, it was a happy one for him. He hoped that they would feel the same way about it too. It was a new opportunity and if last night was an indication, he knew that he was going to have lots of warm nights in their bed. With him running on point for the position that Max was trusting him, Rockford knows that he'd have a couple of busy first months as he gets to know his crew and settles in with them. But Rockford realized that by being the head of the new logistics division Max wanted him, he would have more flexible working time. He could spend more time with his lovers and he knew he was going to be able to support them with the kind of financial security Max was offering him. They could move back to his old place, or get a new one with the money he saved up over the years. They could also use his stash that he had never gotten to use
"Oh mmphfuuck..." Rocco muffled louder when Dee thrusts hard inside their boyfriend and Rockford was feeling his cock shoving down deeper into their man's throat. Yep, Rocco could see that Dee was all in when she saw the little brown paper bag containing their sex toy, leather cuffs, and lube. Rockford chuckled when she giddily strutted into the bathroom and Rocco heard the water running before she was coming out with the strap on and nothing else. Dee asked Rocco to strip and be on all fours and the man followed through with her demand in less than a minute."You're so gorgeous, all debouched like this," Rockford purred, gently caressing his lover's handsome face before he pushed back down his throat. Rocco was a mess, his mouth was full of Rockford's cock while Dee was slamming him with the new strap-on. She was smiling wickedly, before kissing his back ever so gently. She knew what he liked and her hand was caressing his side, coaxing goosebumps on his upper arms. Dee leaned down
It didn't take long before his phone buzzed, alerting him that the messenger for his package had arrived. He left his lovers and put his clothes on to get himself down to the lobby to pick up the package. Rockford was on his way back when Ivan stopped in front of him and told him Max wanted to see him, and that his boss was waiting for him at the bar. He was escorted to one of the backrooms, a small office where Max was there waiting. It has been years since he saw the guy. He still looked the same. Hard, cold stare eyes were looking back at him before his lips tugged into a warm welcoming smile and told Rockford to sit down and let Ivan get back to his post."Don't worry, I have someone watching your suite. Your lovers are safe within my walls." Max poured himself a glass of vodka and put another one in front of him. Okay, looked like Rockford was going to skip his evening pills and he was fine with that. He had been wanting to take the edge off since the shootout but Rocco had been
