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
The house was clear when I got there; even the baby was gone. Shit gave me a start for a second. It's been a while since Hitler's youth or one of the others hasn't been here to greet me. "Kat?" I walked through the house getting pissed by the second.She was in bed with the covers up to her chin. I took a deep breath and tried for calm. Instead of yelling the house down like I wanted to, I just kicked off my shit kickers and crawled into bed behind her. "Colton you're home.""Yeah baby I'm home." Her voice sounded so little and lost, and then a thought hit me that had my guts going cold. "Swear to fuck Kat if you're sick I'm gonna be pissed way the fuck off, look at me." She started to giggle snort. That's a start at least, even though I was sure she was laughing at me."What kinda sense does that make crazy person?""You're not sick?" My hand went to her heart where I could feel it beating strong and full of life. She shook her head no. "Then what is it?"She sat up in bed and b
My life is fucked. I've come to accept this fact since realizing that the women in my life have taken over. I have no idea when Kat took my balls, but sure as fuck she has 'em. "You two ready?" I mumbled some choice words under my breath and rolled my eyes at my annoying ass wife. My two girls were all smiles and excitement as they came towards me where I stood waiting for them at the door.Last week I'd taken their brothers for a night out with the guys and their nosy ass mother and mine got it into their heads that I had to do the same with them. The fuck!First of all, I know fuck all about daughters, unless their mother is there to lead the way. And it has been quite some time since she's dragged my ass off somewhere with the whole lot of 'em.Suddenly I'm a neglectful father and I show the boys favoritism yadda-yadda-yadda. She knew just how to get under my skin, how to hit below the belt. I think she's been taking lessons from my mother or some shit. So as to keep the hen
I've outsmarted Kat's ass all these years, her ringers aren't going to get anything over on me. So far I've been lucky, they're all good kidsand then there's the little one.I eyed the backseat to make sure Hitler's youth wasn't doing some shit back there that she wasn't supposed to, before turning my attention back to my firstborn."How's school going?" I addressed the question to both of them. Caitlin just shrugged but the terror in the back had a lot to say.She had a tale for every damn day of the week. "They're gonna put you away the next time you get caught doing that fucI mean stuff in their lab."I should be so damn lucky. Fucking kid is worst now that she has all these new uncles and aunts to spoil her demented ass.At least once a week there's a Fed Ex truck in my driveway delivering something for her to tinker with, because the SEALs and their women are convinced she's some sort of prodigy and keep sending her shit.My ass! I'm coming to believe more and more that Elen
In spite of all my rumblings, I'm proud of my kids. As a father I've learned that it pays to pay very close attention to them and the way they handle things.I don't want them growing up to be assholes that I have to be ashamed of, so I try, along with their mother, to teach them values and shit.I noticed that no matter how bothersome her little sister was, Caitie always treated her with the care of an older sister. Kid has class.It was the same with the boys. They knew to look out for each other and to protect their sisters and mother, especially when I'm not around.All in all Kat and I were doing a good job. Of course I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when I think of the three little ones she's carrying.Please don't let them be like Mengele. I won't make it past their first birthday if they are. I watched her now as she walked next to her sister who took her little hand in hers.How easy it is to forget that she's just a tiny little thing. That mouth of h
