"Oh he's one of those too is he? They're all the same. Law just tells me not to worry my pretty little head about anything like that's all that's needed." Dana Sue glared towards the French doors where we could see the men standing around in deep conversation."Sounds like Clay, but ladies, as an author I do a lot of observing and snooping around and I make no excuses for it. I can tell you that Clay has been working overtime on something." Ginger looked pensive as she sat back in her chair and tapped her fingers on her knee."I didn't say anything before because I wasn't sure, but mom said something was going on before the guys snatched her. Some guy from Georgia was coming, he's related to my grandfather but he's some big shot or something. I heard Brandon mention that guy's name after everyone came to visit.""Illyana you're holding out?""No Ginger, I just didn't think it meant anything at the time. We were all just worried about Jess remember? And the guys were being so hush-h
"How much do your women know about this little situation we're dealing with?""Nothing why?" Logan turned to look in the same direction I was, a direct view into the great room where the women had gathered."Look at them in there. I haven't heard any laughter coming from in there, no one's pulling anyone's hair so they're not fighting, but they're all very engrossed in whatever's going on. And look there, the body language just changed as soon as my wife noticed me looking.""There's no way they know." I had everyone's attention now for a different reason. We'd all been kicking around ideas about the best move to make and getting nowhere because the SEALs were on some waiting shit. Now we had another problem on our hands."I know a way to find out what they know." I twisted my lips and made the call I use on special occasions, it's a call only one person knows. She came running a few seconds later, all smiles and innocence. Her mother had put a bow in her hair and done some shit to
Inside the talk had turned to babies, but the tension was still thick in the air. "Kat, what were you talking about earlier? And before you answer, your daughter already told me.""Dammit Colton you put her up to it." She wasn't looking too happy the little sneak. Her friends had looks of confusion on their faces until I told them what had happened."We know nothing, just girls sitting around getting to know each other." The one named Gabriella sat back and crossed her legs and arms with the most innocent look on her face. Logan walked over and leaned over to whisper something in her ear that made her twitchy."Quit it Logan we weren't doing anything wrong.""Who told you about the trafficking?" He stood back and folded his arms like a general but the look she gave him said she wasn't scared. "Duh, there were rumors around town before you guys showed up, and you spend an awful lot of time down there snooping around, and let's not forget Dani and Nessa and I""Yes I remember, and I
Part of the crew headed to Elena's while the others stayed here. I had my guys give them an escort though I was sure they didn't need one, but it was courtesy. "You, upstairs." I'd waited until she said her goodbyes to all her little friends and locked up."Don't you start you've been holding out on me and that's not part of the marriage code." She rewrites that shit every chance she gets. "Feeling brave are you?" We rounded up the kids and packed them off to bed after fighting with Catalina about waiting up for the fat fuck. The baby was the last one we checked on before heading for bed.It was well past midnight and tomorrow was going to be a long one. "So, what was it that you were trying to find out?" She started getting twitchy as we got undressed for bed. I think my tones be tipping her off or some shit, I guess it comes with years of marriage.I have no issue with her snooping she's a female it's in the genes or some fuck. But what I do mind is that she went behind my back.
By mid afternoon Kat was over her snit but I noticed her conversation was all about babies and weddings. She might be playing it safe since I was in the room but I don't think so. After last night's little lesson I was sure she'd keep her ass still, but I didn't fool myself that the shit would last longer than it took for the pain from her spanking to go away.The phone rang on my hip and I answered without looking. "Lyon, Mancini here, I hear you're looking for me?" I snapped my fingers to get Law's attention and he alerted the others. "Are you there?""I'm here, trying to get to a secure location.""No worries it's taken care of." I took the phone away from my ear and looked at it. Who the fuck? "Okay well I have some others here who would like to hear what you have to say.""The call's cleared for you, Lawton Daniels, Justice Creed and the SEALs no one else I don't care how close you are."Well since this fuck knows so much"You missed one.""Mallory's not there he's got a sick
"Uh, am I the only one who's confused?""No Law, I think we're all in the dark on this one." Smooth motherfucker, he might've pissed me off coming into my place the way he did, but I had to give him his due."That's Mancini, I'm surprised he even showed up here." Creed looked after the door where he'd disappeared."This other guy Thorpe, what the fuck is he like?""I don't think he's as hard core as that one, Law but he's no light weight either."What the fuck did I get myself into? The guy is good, the way he came in, had I not had my place rigged he would've blown past my security. My guys hadn't seen him, but I was warned just before the phone rang and that's what tipped me off."So what just happened here?" Quinn, one of the least heard from SEALs spoke up. "He just appeared, said some shit that we already knew and left, what was the purpose?""Just what he said, taking our measure; I get the feeling he knows more about us than we do him." I wasn't sure how to feel about tha
At least that shit had taken my mind off the fuckery in the study for a hot minute. I went in search of my kids it was their day after all. They were knee deep in new shit and making enough noise to raise the roof, but they were happy.Nothing that was going on had or will ever touch them. "This is what it's all about, them, keeping them safe." Law came up beside me in the doorway where I was peeping in on them. "That's what I'm most worried about, how the fuck do we keep them safe when we're all spread out all over the place?'The others came to join us. "We were just discussing that. The way this thing is panning out, we're gonna have to watch each other's six, we have to weed out the bad seeds starting now because we all know money trumps most anything when it comes to the lesser known.""My guys are safe, I don't surround myself with fucks. They've all been with me for many years and those who weren't aren't close enough to get at me and mine." He had a point though, if what Man
"Todd what're you doing? My dad would kill us if he caught us out here alone." She looked around as if expecting him to appear out of the darkness. She's so pretty under the moonlight it hurts. The feelings I have inside for her scare me. I don't know if I can make it without her. I've been fighting with my parents to find a way for me to stay, had explained to them that even the thought of leaving her makes me feel like my life was ending.They were more understanding than I thought they would be. My dad is always so caught up in his work I never thought he had any time to notice what was going on around him, and mom, well she's mom. She thinks every little thing will hurt me, just like when I was five.We'd had a long talk the three of us about my relationship with Caitlin, my Caitlin. If only her dad was half as understanding then I wouldn't have this knot in my gut. If anyone else comes near her while I'm gone I'll end them. But for now I have to make sure she's okay, she's bee
