The next day Seamus decided to have a chat with Cormac before they left for the cemetery. "I want to ask your permission to marry your daughter," Seamus said while they waited for Charlotte to come down and join them."Yet, you've asked for her to marry you already." He replied with an amused smile on his face."Yes, yes I have. It was too spontaneous but I want to make this right. I know she loves you very much and your blessing will mean so much for her and also for me. For both of us." "You're a good man, Seamus, you got my blessing." The younger man looked relaxed before Cormac continued. "What I've heard about her in prison made me almost lose it. But your lawyer had convinced me that you had nipped the issue and taken care of her." "What exactly did you hear?" With all of the earlier issues with Charlotte and her work, he didn't know that Cormac had learned anything about his daughter while he was in prison. This was news to him and he was really clueless as to what it might
When Seamus got arrested, Charlotte was a total mess. But after he called her, she calmed down for a little while deep inside she still felt some uncertainty over her future husband. As Seamus predicted, her dad watched how Charlotte was acting all though in front of him. And Cormac felt bad when he wasn't able to help her. He could see on her face that she was falling apart on the inside. Seamus's parents arrived at the house a couple of hours after they did and it was a good thing because her dad was not getting through to her. "Come on my beautiful child, let's leave them to talk it over while you and I can make some cookies and mini sandwiches for their afternoon tea. Tell me, how does your father drink his tea?" "Um, hot? I usually see him drinking coffee." Charlotte looked unsure but Erin just smiled at her and put her hand on the crook of her arm as she ushered Charlotte to the spacious kitchen. "That's alright, dear. Come, help me prepare." Erin patted her cheek warmly
Seamus's parents went home after dinner. Charlotte's dad retreated to his room not long after, and the young couple went to theirs to rest for the night. Everything in the house was quiet and peaceful as Seamus wrapped his arms around her under the covers. He had taken his pain pills and Charlotte had drifted off to sleep minutes ago while he was still watching his beautiful soon-to-be-wife. He let himself close his eyes after kissing her forehead. It felt like he had slept only for a few minutes when his phone buzzed from an incoming call. He grunted but was alert immediately when he saw Keegan's name flashing on his screen. "Yes," "Boss, there are people inside the house. We're on our way. Get everyone to safety." "Shit," "I got you, just hide. We got this." Keegan reassured him and he acted quickly rather than asking questions. Seamus ended the call and started pulling up his pants then woke Charlotte after reaching for his gun. "Charlotte baby, you need to get up and get dr
It had been more than a week since the attack and Seamus was getting better. He was still weak but pretended that he was healed then got sneaky by popping painkillers for his shoulder. He didn't get to a hospital for an operation but he did get the friendly local doctor well known in the underground crime organization to illegally operate on his shoulder in the privacy of his own home. Just like the good old days, his dad told him after he was awakened from his anesthesia. That day Charlotte was as white as sheet, one might think she also had gotten shot. Her eyes were puffy and her hands were so cold when he touched her. But she smiled only for a couple of seconds before she was back to pouting and ready to demand assurance from her fiance.Two days after the incident Charlotte started having nightmares. She would wake up sweating, shaking, and screaming so loud that Seamus's heart ached every time he cuddled her until she got back to sleep. And almost two weeks in she was still hav
Charlotte drags another puff of her cigarette before putting it out in the nearest bin when she saw Lexie walking towards her. It was three days after their impromptu meet in front of the convenience store that Lexie had invited her for one of the sharing sessions held at the town's public library."So, how are you today?" Lexie asked with a kind smile as they walk towards the building."I'm still hanging in there." She said not wanting to overshare with Lexie. "I hope you feel better after tonight." "I hope so too." There was a small group of people already gathering in the open space in the library. Charlotte saw chairs lined already, not in a circular shape but like in a traditional classroom. She already knew that she was going to take the back seat and just listen. Charlotte was feeling better already because earlier she was not sure about visibly exposing herself in front of strangers. Three chairs were in front. On the side of the room was a long table with drinks and snack
Seamus was at a stage where the first time in his life he didn't know what to do with his relationship. He was walking on eggshells around his fiance. Charlotte had the right to be pissed off. But he loves her too much and has the most caveman urge to protect her. She was his and he was going to do everything to protect her. The young Irish mob boss kept himself busy with their plan to pin down the chief of police. The man was proven tricky to handle and both Seamus and his dad have been working to dismantle his power with each passing week."It won't be long now, son." His dad uttered after he reminded him about the neat plan that they both had constructed months before. The father and son duo was talking in Braddock senior's home office where Seamus was called in for updated details on their plan.The Chief of Police was going to fall and he was going to fall hard on his ass, where no one was going to help him. Not after the humiliation that he was going to be put through. He will
"Thank you, this is perfect." Charlotte let him put her hand on his as they took their place on the premium seats in the front rows. She still couldn't believe that he had booked a ballet performance for their date. It was their first real date. With everything that happened they hadn't spent time like a normal couple. "I can't believe that you actually arrange all of this." She smiled brightly at him and that was all Seamus needed to feel closer to her. Though she wanted to skip their early dinner, he was glad that she didn't say no. He wanted to feed her, he wanted her healthy weight back. "My Mom is to be blamed for all of this, she gave me the idea." He took her hand and kissed her knuckles once they were comfortable in their seats. "Well, then...I'll be sure to thank her." "And how about me? I'm taking you here aren't I?" His easy smile was teasing her, He felt good. He hadn't felt that good in months. "Oh, you wanted me to thank you too?" She gave him a little laugh and he
Charlotte couldn't believe what she just heard. She thought she was dreaming it, that maybe it was the two consecutive climaxes that had her imagining Seamus wanting to get married tomorrow. They were already engaged, though they never talked about their wedding date. Since he said the words, she just had to know. Because honestly, the crazy thing was Charlotte might be okay with his suggestion, wait...was it a suggestion, a question, or another proposal? Everything was too hazy for Charlotte, her brain had short-circuited from all the highs her future baby daddy had given her. But yeah, she definitely remembered when he asked her to have his babies. His babies, her babies, their babies. She was smiling like a fool. Her insides were puddles of the gooiest goo that ever existed. All while her perfect man was sleeping soundly beside her. Maybe she has been spending more time with Lexie then meeting her adorable son Harley, maybe talking with mothers at the meetings had evoked her nur
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
