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. – Grams
Nessie 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 everyoneI 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.”
Do you think we should have a cake without alcohol? – ZeeKnuckles stood in the decorated main room looking at the large round chocolate cake that had a plastic toy motorcycle sitting in the center of the puffy icing. He remembered it from when she had made it before. Guinness chocolate cake…Jameson chocolate ganache…Bailey cream icing…He was drunk thinking about it. Despite her girls’ objections, Nessie had insisted on doing the cakes. The girls helped and even made a nonalcoholic cake that sat on a separate table. Mia had come over and helped them make a hummingbird cake. She kept insisting that it was called that because it was made with hummingbird eggs. “Those hummingbirds must be the size of chickens.” Her husband, Celt, had teased. “Or they died right after laying the egg.”The wedding cake was a recipe that Evie had found and wanted to try, but feared she did not have the skill set to make it. She had sent it to both Mia and Nessie. That
Since neither of my older boys are giving me grandbabies, I’m spoiling this one. – SiobhanCookie and his crew built a house for Nessie and Knuckles on the back side of the compound. He and his crew worked long days on weekends to get it completed before the baby was born. Karan and the girls pulled Nessie into her office and showed Nessie various pictures. At the end, she ended up with a cross between a Scottish cottage and a fairy tale witches cottage. The greenhouse sat between the two buildings. The Flowers came out and planted some trees for them. About a week after moving in, Nessie walked out and found Cookie and Toad looking at her greenhouse. “And what are yeh two up to?” She asked as her uncle pulled her in for a hug.“Just looking to see if we can expand your greenhouse.” He replied resting a hand on her belly. She moved his hand to the top of her belly where the baby was currently kicking her ribs. “She’s turned. Ready to see the world.”“
In this life, and the next, yeh'll be me friend. – NessieNessie walked out of the office and into the kitchen. Her large belly was constantly in her way. Again.This one, she swore, would be the last baby.Her oldest, Abby, sat at the center workstation with her dad. This was their favorite place to hang out. Especially when Nessie was baking cakes.Or cookies. Or pies.Or trying out a new recipe. Her other three, nine year old Bella, and four year old twins, Daniel and Douglas, were playing with some of the other Shack kids out in the common room.“Mum.” Her twelve years old daughter said causing Nessie to pull out of her thoughts. “Who’s Stephen?”It was a name that she had not heard in years. Nessie and Knuckles shared a smile at shared memories. “He was a friend of me and yer da’s. Where did you hear it?”“I had a dream the other night. I was being chased by this crazy bear.” She said and did not catch the look that passed between
