That bitch, when you find her, I want to know. – Zero
The clubhouse was buzzing with Nessie being sick and Doc kicking her out of her own kitchen. The old ladies were looking knowingly at each other. Her girls were pretty sure what was going on.The men were completely lost.Doc refused to give any information. Knuckles just shrugged and said that Doc was referring her to a specialist. Siobhan and Toad both remained silent since it was not their place. Lollipop and Brody were just as lost.Nessie hated the attention and hid either in the room or the office. Currently she sat in her office working on the orders for the clubhouse and the daycare.She kept in mind what Karan had told her yesterday morning. She had also received an email from her and Winona, the interim kitchen manager at the daycare. Adjusting the menu to the more popular items while still meeting the state nutrition requirements was harder than expected.She was going through her cook booksYou said that you could make her come back to me. I’ll give you one more chance. Don’t fail, again. – PetrosToad was reading an article on the computer about the history of Harley Davidson. It was an older article, but still one of his favorites. An email popped up from Kitchen Manager. He thought that it was odd since Nessie would usually just call or walk over.He opened the email and began to read the thread starting at the bottom. Why was he included in this? The daycare food budget would take care of this.He skimmed over Nessie’s response of adjusting the recipes for the more popular foods. There were ways to add vegetables in the meats and breads.He clicked on a link for spaghetti with pureed vegetables in the sauce. Returning to the email he glanced at the other links. Then he noticed that the last paragraph ended mid sentence. Toad was about to reread the paragraph when his phone rang.Lost in thought he picked up his phone and answered barely loo
I told you, he touches my woman and all bets are off. I’m going to kill the asshole. – KnucklesThe first ding on his phone was an alert that the alarm had been triggered. Knuckles called the security company office and Trevor told him that they were checking it out. “It may just be a glitch.” Trevor assured him. “It looks like something got on the camera and it triggered the alarm.”“I’m heading to the clubhouse.” Knuckles said and disconnected the call. “Hey, Cowboy!”“Yeah?” the blonde man called back from the other end of the security desk.“Gotta go to the clubhouse for a bit.” He said as his phone dinged again with an email from Nessie about the daycare menu. Something was wrong. He knew it. He didn’t care what Trevor said something was wrong. “Cowboy, go ahead and lock it down. Just in case.”Cowboy nodded and began the process of putting the office building housing the DS Holdings and DS Enterprises into lockdown. Knuckles slipped out of th
Scotland holds nothing for you but your death. Walk away from my granddaughter and find life. Hunt her down and your families' blood will flow. – GramsNessie was afraid of what Mitzi would do if she objected or put up a fight. With Zee on the other side of the door, she did as she was told. As she removed her watch, she activated the alarm. With the gun at her spine, Nessie got into the passenger seat of what looked like Evie’s Corvette. Because the guards recognized the car, no one stopped them. “If you would have gone back to him, I wouldn’t have to be doing this.” Mitzi complained. “Yeh don’t have to.”“He’s promised that I’ll get everything that I ever wanted. More than I ever had before.”“Possessions are only tings. They don’t really mean anything.” Nessie pointed out.“Whatever. You have money, you can say that.” She turned down a road and sped up. “I’ve heard about where you grew up.”“Don’t believe the hype. It’s not as great as everyone
I get a few minutes with him. You can kill him after that. – ToadFour snipers were set up around the perimeter of the house; Sniper, Clay, Boomer and someone that Dom had called RC. Brothers were lined up against the tall stucco walls along the outside prepared to go over into the yard. Trevor had already hacked into their security system and inside they were watching only what he allowed them to see.With a quick call declaring that they had a clear shot, the guards walking the inside perimeter were quickly dispatched. The men then went over the walls and made their way to the house in the fading light. Another group went over and approached the gate.The gates opened and Dom walked through as if she had been invited. She approached the house and had two guards approach her from opposite sides. Smiling at them, she gauged which one would talk more. Choosing the one that was telling his buddy that he wanted first dibs with her, she moved quickly and slit the buddy’s thr
Either unlock the door, or I’m going to use you as a battering ram and bash it down with your head. It's your choice. – TinyKnuckles led the two large men down the hall to the room that the other man indicated. The door was guarded by a very confused man. Tiny pushed Knuckles towards his son and Micro held the angry man by his arms. Tiny spoke softly to the man who paled and very quickly opened the door. He tripped over himself trying to get out of their way.Rushing inside, Knuckles ignored the father and son as they cuffed the man with zip-cuffs. He was led down the hall and forced to sit on his knees with his back to the wall with other guards.Nessie sat up on the bed and smiled when Knuckles came into the room. He rushed to her and framed her face with his tattooed hands. He scanned her face before he gently kissed her. Her hands held his wrists in a gentle hold.“Are you okay, babe?” he softly asked her.“I’m fine. He never touched me. It was almost like h
With the blessings of the Coven of Light, we will handle this little… problem. – Michael O’FlahertyThere was a soft knock on the door. Knuckles kissed the hair of his sleeping wife before slipping out of bed and going to the door. Cracking the door open, he saw Brody standing in the hallway. “The Mick and Don will be here in about twenty minutes. They are bringing the Russian oligarch.” Brody said and Knuckles nodded. “The Mick wants to speak with her.”“I’ll wake her up.” Knuckles said turning to go back into the room.“Take care of her.”“I plan to.” He said softly as he re-entered their room. The bed was empty and panic rushed through him until he heard water running in the bathroom. Opening the door, he saw that she had stripped off her clothes and pinned her hair up above her head. The shower was turned on and she glanced over her shoulder, smiling an invitation at him. He quickly pulled off his own clothes and stepped in behind her. “I need your
Yeh can be cursed and not know it. But when yeh do know, it’s ten times worse. – Pappa Dean“Husband?” The Russian whispered as he turned to look at the officers. “Yeh should have listened to yer own witch.” Nessie warned as she and Knuckles slipped outside. The group watched the silhouettes through the glass. Knuckles raised their linked hands and pressed his lips to Nessie's hand before placing his arm around her shoulders, keeping their hands together. “Did he buy her wedding rings?” Shtunska asked quietly. “No.” Toad replied. “The marked mate of the white witch, bound by gold of the dead.” The Russian muttered as Dom brought Petros through. He looked at the woman covered in tattoos with a blood red braided Mohawk. Cursing in Russian, he watched his son flinch. “You’ve damned us all! I told you to leave her alone!”The other men followed them out. Toad was surprised to see Nessie speaking with Pagan’s sister, Ciara, the owner of the Wiccan booksto
If me mon can wear a kilt, yeh can too. – NessieIt was an argument that they had for nearly a week. But Toad finally relented and wore the kilt. He stood in the hall waiting for his niece to come out of the office. His wife and her sister stepped out and smiled at him. Siobhan kissed her husband before walking down the hall to the garden. A moment later, Nessie stepped out wearing the same dress that she wore in Scotland. He looked at his niece and teared up.“I love you, girl.” Toad said opening his arms and she went into the hug.“Love yeh, too.” She sighed laying her cheek on his chest. “He’s a good guy. But I can still make him disappear if you want me to.” He kissed the top of her head as one hand held her head to his chest. She chuckled as his other hand ran up and down her back gently. “I’ll keep the offer in mind.” Nessie laughed.“I would just have to make it past a few mafia bosses. I can’t believe that we killed a mafia boss’s son here.”
I’m very good at being Sophia. I just don’t like being her. – ShilohThe door to the Shack opened and a large group of men in suits entered with a woman in the middle of their pack. As they moved through the building, the men moved off and took up positions around the large space. The woman stopped in front of Pagan who wrapped her up in his arms.“We’re going to get them back.” She quietly promised.“I know.” Pagan whispered against her neck.She pulled away from him and pressed a kiss to his lips before she turned in his arms. “Werewolf, what do you know?”“They were taken by Aranya. We know where their president is.” He answered.She spoke in Italian, and six men stepped towards Werewolf. “Tell them.”Werewolf nodded and pulled up the map on his tablet. He explained where the Aranya clubhouse was located and what he knew of the buildings. “Don, with your leave?” Nico asked and Sophia nodded.“Yes, bring him to me.” The men turned to leave. “Nico," Sophia warned, "do not spill any
Mother, I’m not sure who you think you are but let me assure you who you are not. – SophiaNico leaned over and spoke softly in Sophia’s ear. “Do not let her take hold again. You are in charge of her. You control her.”Sophia nodded and gave him a small smile. She needed the reminder. Shiloh only had to be Sophia for a little while longer. They were winning the last few hold outs over to their side. There were a few that her mother still had convinced that it should be her stepson to take the position.With Sophia at his side to make it legitimate.Otherwise, he was just another son of just another capo. Elizabeth did not want to admit that she had moved down the ranks of the family. When she had first married Joseph, he had been second in line to the throne. His older brother and wife were both killed only a few weeks after Joseph had married Elizabeth.Joseph would be the next to lead the family. But then, the inner war took place and Joseph was caught in the crossfire. His father,
I don’t give a damn how it’s done. I just want it done. – PaganPagan was hammering out his frustration along with the hot metal on the anvil. It was the second day of the meeting with the family, and he was missing his wife.He couldn’t help the smile that crept across his face when he thought of Shiloh as his wife.When it was confirmed who her family was, he understood why she did not want anyone to know that they were married. Until everything was settled, it could put him and his girls in danger. He didn’t understand everything about her family, but he knew it worked like the Saints.They had a family leader and CEO of the company. Shiloh was Nonno’s only living heir and should take his place. Be the next CEO. But it was not what she wanted.She would do it out of duty and obligation. And Pagan was certain that she would be good at it. Shiloh had a good mind for business and could lead the family and business with very little effort. But her heart was n
If it goes well, you will never have to use your old name ever again. – NicoPagan loved waking up in the morning with Shiloh in bed with him. Most mornings, he woke up with her sucking on his cock. Or his balls. Or moving between the two.This morning was no different. He moaned as his hips thrust up and she took him all the way down to his base.“Fuck, babe.” Pagan growled.She hollowed her cheeks and bobbed up and down on him. His hands fisted in her hair and guided her as she bobbed, and he thrust. Pagan pulled her off him and towards him for a kiss.“I need in you.” He said between kisses.Her hands moved to his shoulders as she moved up his body. He sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Shiloh wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. Moving his mouth to her neck, Pagan guided her onto his cock. “Pagan.” She sighed as his head pressed against her folds, sliding into her slickness. He growled again
I love you, Shy, but if you say you’re going to wear a white dress, I’m calling bullshit. – GertieSaturday after they got married, Shiloh went with some of the other ladies to a bridal shop. Surrounded by so much white and ivory, she and Gertie stood out. They looked at each other and shared a smile before they both busted out laughing.“Yeah…” Karan smirked. “I don’t know if we’re going to find anything for Shiloh here.”“Yes, we will.” Rye assured her as she walked towards the back of the large warehouse style store. The rest of the women all shrugged and followed her back. They weaved their way through racks and racks of gorgeous white, ivory and pale pink wedding gowns. There were large and puffy ones, others that were slim and fitting. And there were yards and yards of skirts, hundreds and thousands of beads. Satin, silk, taffeta and tule.Several of the women stopped to admire a gown or dress here and there. Mia pulled one out and held it in front of her.
I won’t even tell Toad. I’ll just tell him that we got the marriage license. – PaganPagan and Shiloh walked into the Shack holding hands just like they always did on Church nights. Ashlyn ran towards Priscilla to show the teen the new outfit. Alyssa headed for Athos to try to con him into a ride. Pagan was never sure if she was going to try for a ride on the bike, or a horse.Nessie looked at the couple as they came through the door from her usual table between the pool tables and the couches. She grinned at them, and Pagan headed towards her having learned not to avoid her. Nessie always knew way more than she should and said that the ghosts talked to her.Pagan had seen the poltergeist activity. Heard her say things about people that very few knew. “It looks good on yeh.” Nessie grinned at Shiloh. “What?” she asked quietly.“A new last name.”They both were quiet as they stared at her.“Yeh’ll not hear it from me. It’s not me place. We can put it
This is just for you and me. The other wedding will be for our girls. – Shiloh Shiloh walked into the front office of the fab shop and did not miss the loud annoyed sigh from the woman behind the counter. Pagan had told her about Carrianne and admitted that if it wasn’t that she was so freaking efficient, he would certainly fire her.But she kept the shop stocked with the iron and other metals that they needed. The other supplies and equipment were never low. Water and sports drinks were always on hand in the coolers and protein bars on the shelves. Project schedules were laid out with monthly, weekly and daily time allotments. Custom jobs were priced and bid for a hefty profit while not discouraging the buyer. Phones were answered when they had to be, although she preferred emails. And those were responded to within a business day at the most.Pagan knew that she did most of her work while she was at home, and he had no problems with it. Carrianne had told him onc
Most people make the mistake of overcooking the lasagna. – NicoOn the second Saturday of the new year, Nico invited himself over to teach the girls how to make authentic Italian lasagna. He showed up with almost all the ingredients that they would need. As he mixed up the pasta dough, he explained everything to the girls. Pagan and Shiloh sat at the table watching them. “Daddy always just thaws out the lasagna and puts it in the oven.” Ashlyn declared and Nico acted like he was going to die in the kitchen.Shiloh laughed at her cousin as he lay on the floor clutching his heart, mumbling a prayer in Italian. “I’ve made it from scratch before.” Pagan grumbled with a smile.“You never made the pasta.” Ashlyn pointed out.“Or the sauce.” Alyssa added.Shiloh laughed harder. “They have no loyalties to you when it comes to food.”“None.” Pagan agreed as Nico slowly and dramatically stood back up. The girls were helping him as he clutched the cabinet door
I don’t think that you understand your place within this family. – Elizabeth GiordanoPagan and Shiloh spent New Year’s Eve at the Shack while the girls went to a kid’s party over at Chance’s house. He knew that his new wife would not be comfortable with the New Year’s Eve activities and hosted the annual party for the kids. When Pagan had called Chance at ten in the morning, Rye answered the phone whispering.“Hey, Pagan.”“Good morning, Rye. How are the girls?”“Still asleep. Hang on.” Pagan could hear her moving around in their house and then she took a picture. A moment later, his phone chimed as the picture came through and he clicked the speakerphone button before he moved the phone so that both he and Shiloh could see the screen.Chance was lying on his back asleep on the living room floor. He had his niece, Morgan, asleep on one shoulder and Alyssa asleep on the other. He looked happy and content asleep surrounded by a dozen or more club kids.
