I had to get back to the shop but Kat didn't want to be left alone so we bundled up the baby and I took them back with me. The crises were coming hard and fast it seems; as if something was trying to fuck with my perfect existence, which I was not about to let happen. The baby got passed around at the shop until I growled at them to get their asses back to work. There were two other kids there whose dads had babysitting duty while their women were off getting shit ready for the holidays. So Kat put the baby down to play and stayed in there with them while I went back to work. I had to put shit aside and do my thing but it was never far from my mind all day. My woman was vulnerable I never realized before that these things could actually happen. That someone could destroy you with a lie so easily. I'll have to find a way to protect her from that fuckery now too because I never want to hear that wail again in this life. It taught me something else too; if I have the power to hurt
My Angel was still feeling a little needy after dinner so I sat on the couch with both of them on my lap. The little one was talking to the fire and eating my shirtsleeve and her mother was sniffing my neck. Fuck me I'm an old married man. I felt like a Norman Rockwell painting but I wouldn't trade it for anything. There was nothing I'd rather be doing. Truth is, I couldn't remember my life before them. And to think I almost wrote her off when we first met; my girl surprises me everyday. I think she's freakier than even me and that's saying a lot.*** KAT***Colt is really good at easing my fears but he's a guy he doesn't understand how it feels to feel like your whole life is being threatened. His answer to everything is fuck it. I wish I could be that brave. He says I insulted him, only Colt would look at it like that but that's what I love about him. He just always tells it like it is. This girl in the hospital is bothering me too but for a different reason. Here I have so
It wasn't Caitlin that woke us up in the morning, but the ringing phone. Rolling over, I answered as I looked at the clock. Almost seven, my baby will be waking up any minute screaming her head off."Hello.""Mr. Lyon, this is the nurse at the hospital. Your charge is ready to be discharged later this morning and we were wondering if you'd made any arrangements to have her picked up?"What the fuck?"There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding. I don't have a charge in the hospital.""The young lady that was admitted after a car accident, we have you down here as the only contact."" She's not my anything, first of all, and my mother is supposed to be there to get her." Of course Kat woke up just then and started motioning for me to give her the phone. Yeah, like that shit was gonna happen."Well, there was a problem with that. Some ladies did show up here to take her home but she was very afraid to leave with them since she doesn't know them. Your wife apparently left instr
I can't believe Colt told me to get away from him, what is wrong with him? He can't really be that threatened by a helpless woman lying in a hospital bed with no memory. It just doesn't make sense the way he's been acting. I don't see the danger; Colt sees danger around every corner these days. It's even worse than when we first met. He's taken over protectiveness to a whole new level. It started out on a smaller scale but right after I told him I was pregnant something changed in my husband from then. He's always been super protective but he amped it up a notch, like a really big notch. Then when we found out we were having a little girl he really lost it. It's like he expects the worst at all times now. I know part of his attitude is because of what happened to me but I've tried explaining to him that you can't be that overly cautious about everything. The thing is when it comes to himself he loves taking risks; the man races his bikes at break neck speeds. He faces down da
I bundled Caitlin up about two o'clock that evening. We had an appointment with the big fat bastard."Where are you going?""I'm taking her to see Santa.""Wait what? I'm supposed to go too.""You can come if you want.""You're being an asshole.""Watch your mouth."She started that crying shit again, too bad. Three hours ago, Elena and Char had taken her new best friend and set her up in one of my places just outside of town. Neither of them had told me anything about their visit to the hospital the day before and I didn't ask. If there was something to tell mom would've told me, besides I didn't need anyone else to see what I see I don't roll that way.Kat's spoilt ass has been getting away with murder. While she was pregnant and then even after having the baby I guess I grew a little lax but if she didn't stop fucking around she was gonna end up with her ass beat Xmas or not. Fuck. Shit, I can't stand to see her like that. That's probably why she thinks she can get away
"Colt." Her voice was sleepy soft and sexy, but since I'd already fucked her six ways from Sunday before she dropped off to sleep I figured I'd let her get some rest.I left the bed and headed for my home office after checking in on my daughter. That kid has the weirdest sleeping habits. She sleeps on her knees with her butt in the air. I touched her hair softly and my heart did its funny little dance. I kissed her head and brushed her hair back with my fingers before heading out.I sat in the quiet of my office going over and over in my mind all that has happened in the last few days, but I kept coming back to the accident. Something, in fact everything about that screamed set up to me. I just didn't know who the players were. Nothing else has happened in a while before this whole mess, so I have a feeling that it has something to do with one of my scrapes from the past year and a half, which means it has something to do with my wife. Everything I've done in that time frame except
Colt seems a little more relaxed this morning, and after the pounding he'd given me, I wasn't feeling too shabby myself. He walked around the bed in his unbuttoned jeans and no shirt, his tattoos on full display. His body still makes me weak in the knees and although I felt like Jell-O, I could still go for another round."Stop looking at me like that babe, your daughter's going to be up any minute. I don't have time to fuck you again." He leaned over the bed and caged me between his arms for a kiss which I tried to turn into something more."We can be quick." I reached for his cock and wrapped my fingers teasingly around it making it jump. Before he could stop me, I got to my knees and fished him out of his pants and into my mouth."Fuck baby girl." His hands in my hair weren't complaining. I licked and teased him the way he likes all around the tip that was already leaking onto my tongue. I used my tongue and teeth to drive him crazy until I felt that change in him. I always kno
Today was the crew's annual random act of kindness day. I don't know how random it is though since we had a few things we always did around this time of year. Although I might not put much stock in Xmas per se, there was still a good percentage of the population who did. Every year for the past five or so, the sisters baked cookies and cakes and those little gingerbread men which they then wrapped in these cute little boxes for us men to pass out. Then later in the evening, we'd take them around to the women's shelter and the children's ward at the hospital. We collected money to buy gifts for the children and made sure they had something to look forward to as well. This year that shit meant a little more to me than in years past. The thought of those little kids, some of them not much older than Caitie, was hard to take. This is just one of the reasons my crew is so well loved in our town, because we do shit like this for our people. It didn't matter what they looked like, whi
"Uncle Hank, can you get me some castor beans?" This kid, she keeps you on your toes; always up to something. Add the fact that she's her dad's carbon copy and well - "Who are you planning to poison little girl?""Who-what? No one, what do you mean? I have to go mommy's calling me. Coming mommy." The little sneak hung up as I grinned.I hung up on my end and called her dad. "Lyon, what did you do to piss off your daughter lately?""Which one? The damn place is crawling with them.""My girl.""Mengele? Nothing why, what did she say?""Well, she's trying to get her hands on castor beans and knowing your kid as I have come to, there can be only one reason for that.""Fuck me, Catalina, get in here." The panic in his voice cracked me the hell up."I'll go and let you take care of that little issue. Call me if she drops any bodies and you need help with clean up. Then again you're pretty good at that shit yourself.""Fuck you, I have to go deal with Hitler's youth catch you later." I hung
They were all set to come to my place because Elena had invited all the women to the surprise shower. Cierra Mancini was in the field and would be coming later than the others.On the way here in differing stages, they got the call that Catalina had been taken and rescued and that Kat had gone into labor.Mancini who wasn't supposed to be here for another day at least had flown out after talking to Jared who'd told him that we had the asshole in our warehouse."I knew that you would kill him and I couldn't let that happen. The cops would've had no choice but to look at you and I can imagine in that position you wouldn't have been thinking straight. We thought it best that one of us take it from there.""We? Who is we?" I looked around at all the men gathered in my backyard."All of us!" Logan answered for all of them, which is pretty much what I suspected.Mancini had made the decision to take point on this one and the others rallied around my family and I while he did his thing. No on

I woke up the next morning fully rested. My wife was still out so I went to check on my daughters. Catalina was ready for release or so they said, but I checked her over myself.She was her usual pain in the ass self and tried to con me out of some shit so I knew she was okay. I was feeling better until I walked back into Kat's room where she was just waking up and overheard the nurse telling her about her release later that day."Are you out your fucking mind? She just pushed three human beings outta her body. The fuck you mean she can leave in a few hours?""Sir, it's hospital policy""I give a fuck" I stopped myself there because I know she wasn't the one making the rules and it wouldn't be fair to rip into her."Hold him, I just changed him and fed him." I passed Kat the baby. "You can leave now." I sent the nurse from the room before leaving myself. "Colton what're you going to do?""Don't worry about it."I left and headed to the nurse's station. "I need you to make a note
I spent the next seven hours running between the two rooms because Kat wouldn't calm down unless I went to check on our daughter and I was seeing that shit played out on the monitor they had her hooked up to.Every time she panicked her pain level went up, something I was in no way equipped to handle. The whole fucking hospital staff knew how I felt about it because I told them at the top of my lungs.Law called me while I was making my way back to Kat for the tenth time. "What's up buddy? I can't really talk right now I have a situation here.""I know, your boy called us when we were on the road.""We should be there in about an hour but the girls are worried.""You're headed here?""Yes, the shower was this weekend remember? The SEALs are already in flight.""Shit I forgot, I guess I'll see you when you get here. I'll have my mom and mother in law set you guys up.""How're your girls Colt? He didn't""No, I got to her in time. She's sleeping it off right now but Kat's the on
"Colton something's wrong, Catalina didn't get off the bus.""What the fuck are you saying? Where are the others?""Everyone else is here except her.""And they didn't notice that she wasn't on the bus?""They did but the driver refused to stop the bus."I'd already pulled my little gadget. "I'm on it Kat no worrying." I hung up and called for my guys as I headed for my bike.My heart started beating right again when I saw the little red dot that showed me where she was."Someone grabbed my kid let's go." They mounted up and we headed out.There were no other thoughts in my head, only getting to her and dealing with whomever the fuck had taken her. I knew it wasn't anyone we knew, because no one would take one of my kids without me, or their mother knowing.Just who it could be was making me sick in the gut. I clenched my hands around the handlebars and willed myself to breathe. The warmth of my blood turned ice cold. This fuck is dead!I heard my guys talking to me in my hea
I rode up and around them and headed back the way I came with them following close behind. We didn't need to talk; we all knew where we were headed. I got there before they did and opened the security gate.I turned on only the bare bulb overhead light leaving the rest of the room in shadows. I kicked a chair into the middle of the room and waited.They dragged him in kicking and screaming. "Who are you?" He focused on me before I throat chucked his ass and pushed him down on the chair.I opened my little bag of treats and shoved two leaves in his mouth. Mengele wasn't lying that shit worked fast. It started out slow, maybe taking thirty minutes before the first sign of distress."What is that, what did you give me?" He eyed the bag in my hand and asked after I stopped holding his mouth together. "Where's the kid? You tell me that and I'll let you live, you don't, you die."He put up a good fight that dragged on for damn near three hours. That's when the fun really started. He los
I could hardly sleep that night my mind wouldn't let me rest. And maybe that's what saved me from my wife's wrath the next morning.Instead of reaming my ass for leaving her high and dry over the breakfast table, she picked up on the fact that something was bothering me.She reached over and squeezed my hand but instead of giving word to her thoughts just gave me a questioning look.I shook my head and indicated the kids who were trying to out talk each other. "Caitlin put it away." Her hand disappeared lightning fast beneath the table."I was just saying good morning daddy." She's trying to get this kid killed. I seriously tried to find justification for five solid seconds but the little shit hadn't done anything worthy of a gutting. Other than robbing me of my daughter."Not at the table." She's so much her mother's kid she left her chair and came around the table to wrap her arms around my neck. "I'm finished with my breakfast so can I be excused from the table?""Sure, go a
