Alley POVIt has been two blissful weeks with my devil and I was somehow even more giddy than before. I really hated those bubbly girls that fell at their boyfriends' feet but I couldn't help it. Every time I saw him everything I was disappeared and all I could be was Alley that belonged to Christian. It felt so amazing to know he only touched me, only wanted me. Why was I so possessive of this boy? We met Derek at the front of school every morning and I know he hated how we googled eyed each other. We still weren't a couple in front of anyone but the long stares and constant little touches it was obvious something was going on. We even stole a few moments sneaking off in an empty classroom or dark corner to make out and sometimes even a little more. I wasn't ashamed to admit the rush of sneaking around was fun. I knew he was mine and one day we could be that in front of the world. Right now, it was our secret and I loved it. The girls in school mostly backed off him which I was hap
Ace POVAlley was dressed like a twenty-year-old ready to party and fuck was it making me pissed. My dick was hard the second I saw her but she came with her brother so I couldn't even steal a kiss let alone take care of the raging boner in my pants. The second we walked in the fucking club men were hitting on her and I knew this night was not going to end well. I can't show that she is my girl but I was not watching every asshole in here eye fuck her all night either. Then the bartender told her I fuck women in the bathroom and she is probably thinking I'm up to all kinds of bullshit when I'm here in the city. I don't touch anyone but her. I don't want anyone but her. Fuck! This was a bad idea but she never listens to me.She moved out of my arms then the girls formed a circle clanking their glasses and downing shots. I wasn't spending the night with her pissed at me while every man in this club would be more than happy to take her home. "Anyone in this group wants a drink put it o
Alley POV"Four hurricanes and make them a double." I shouted to the bartender but he didn't turn around. Wait, that wasn't the bartender. "Christian?" He slowly turned around and I saw his hand with a bag of ice. I ran around the bar inspecting it. It wasn't that bad though, just a little red. "What happened?" My eyes were tearing now. "It's nothing. Go dance and have fun." He gave me a quick kiss then walked away. Seriously that was not ok. I stormed behind him pulling his shoulder to spin back to look at me."Excuse me? You don't fucking brush me off then walk away. I'm not some irrelevant whore that you fucked in the bathroom." Ok I really thought I wasn't pissed about what the bartender said but I guess I was because that was the first image that popped into my head. I know he had a very colorful past but it was a huge leap of faith I was taking that he was really done with those ways. I had to ignore it because if he was fucking women behind my back, I know I would break.
Ace POVAlley's body was rocking against mine to the music and fuck did it feel good. I don't think I could ever not feel overwhelmed by this girl. Her every touch drove my body into a horny frenzy that I would never get enough of. This night was total shit like everything to do with my father was except this girl made it amazing. She knew when to calm me, when to let me control her, and when to let go to have fun. We still had a few little spats but I don't think we could ever go more than a week without fighting. It wasn't hateful arguments though. We were both stubborn and strong minded but loved each other. We didn't have quiet disagreements over coffee. We yelled and sometimes she even threw shit. My fuse might be short but her temper was way worse than mine. We didn't tear each other apart or make each other feel like shit though.Somehow this little vixen sliding up and down my body dancing like a goddess knew how to tame me and I fucking loved it. She was my conscience and l
Alley POVI had one of the best weekends of my life but I knew reality would eventually catch up to me. Christian and I skipped school Monday and then he went to the city for two days so I was at Ethan's for Tuesday night. I talked to Derek every day but I didn't bring up what happened. That was a conversation we needed face to face and I needed to get my temper under control. I was fairly level headed but when something set me off there was nothing I wouldn't do. Throw shit, break shit, hit shit, let's just say I would get out of control. Whatever Derek was involved in I knew it had to do with drugs and right now all I wanted to do was pound on his face, knee him in the balls, then kick him while he was down. I know a bit brutal, especially for my brother, but he pissed me off so much and broke a promise to me.After he didn't show up at school again on Wednesday I had enough and left early. I didn't miss how Ethan was playing interference either. He was keeping Derek from me and h
Ace POVI was jamming out to my radio speeding down the road so I could see my girl. I nearly ran out of that office at five and thankfully avoided any meetings after work with my father. I had two messages on my phone and wasn't really sure what to think.Alley: I talked with Derek and we need to figure some stuff out. Bring a helmet. Ethan will drop me at your house.Ethan: Your girl is a savage. She just beat the shit out of her brother and is coming for you. Nice knowing you bro.Alley said to bring a helmet so she was pissed but usually she would rant on for pages why. Ethan gave me the warning which was kind of surprising but a little context would have been nice.I pulled in my driveway and took a deep breath. Time to face the music. Whatever Derek told her must be bad and I had no idea how I was going to get out of this one."Hey Daniel. You seen Alley?" He got here about an hour ago and I was hoping he talked to her. Got any kind of clue why she may or may not go postal on my
Alley POVAce slammed the door to his office and I grabbed my stuff heading out of his house. I was not staying here, I was done. I slammed his front door holding my book bag, a bag of clothes, and two text books. How the hell was I getting home?I let go of everything in my arms to drop on the concrete and pulled out my phone. I immediately went to Christian's name. Fuck my life, definitely not calling him. Then I scrolled to Ethan but he was leaving for a competition at five am tomorrow. I can't put this on him. Next was Derek but fuck him and his lies. Layla is out because she is probably with him. The last friend I had was Katie but she didn't own a car.I huffed looking at Daniel's name. The only other contact I had in my phone. Couldn't call him either plus all I had to do was walk back inside to talk to him as he lived here with the devil. I gathered my stuff and headed into the living room. I was trapped here, fucking great!I opened my textbook on the coffee table and started
Ace POVWe ate breakfast in silence then remained silent the whole weekend. I tried talking to her but she was not letting up. Asshole would be home Sunday and she already planned on him picking her up. I had to let her go but I prayed the fucking burning desire to touch her was the same intensity she felt for me. My grand plan; hold out until she caved. Yeah, I know not too fucking bright but my head was all kinds of fucked up. Laying on the couch watching a movie with a few feet separating us felt like a country dividing us, the way we ate at the table avoiding eye contact at all cost made my heart pump poison through my veins, but how she avoided my touches, swiped my hand off her waist, or gave me a look of pure hatred when I leaned in for a kiss twisted everything inside me like I was slowly burning in hell.I won't tell her the extent of my family's shit. It would put her in danger and I knew her. She would never stand for it. She would want to go to the feds and take them all
Ace POV Seventy two. That's how many years I lived this life so far. At eighteen I thought I would be lucky to see thirty and now I've seen so much more. I wish I could say it was all good. That after Alley and I found each other again that everything was just happiness and perfection, but that wasn't life.Our first heartache was losing our daughter when she was seventeen in a car accident. Alley could barely breath for what seemed like years after we buried our child. I would relive all the horrors my father handed me over and over to never have to experience that pain. Our seven other children keep us going though. We had other's depending on us and we had to push through the heartache for them. Show them life was still worth living, despite the hole we all shared.My Nanny passed shortly after our daughter. She battled her lung disease for years and I knew she was in immense pain but she held on. Losing one of her great grandchildren I think pushed her to the end though. She told
Nanny Fuck Face POVI looked down from my balcony from my bedroom window leaning on my cane as all my great grandchildren played in the pool outside. Today was the twin's sixteen birthday and the house was full of friends and family. For six months I stayed with Ace in hiding, waiting patiently to be able to live this life I desired for so long. After my daughter died I gave up thinking life would ever be kind to me. I felt hopeless and weak until that day I stood at Ace's graduation party and saw his undying love for Alley. They were saying goodbye but I knew she was his salvation. The light he needed to keep his soul alive and good. Then I saw my other grandson, a boy I thought that was lost to this family and was thankful for it. The Blackwoods were so deeply rooted in sin I prayed everyday my grandchildren would find a better life than my daughter or I did.I never thought it would turn out like this. I wish I could change my past but I also didn't want to change a single moment
Alley POV"Are you saying my son is a problem. I can assure you he is the least of your worries." Christian's tall muscular frame was backing up a perky little woman against a wall. I rolled my eyes with a sigh. Such a brute, especially when it came to his kids."Calm down there, Varsity dip shit." I pulled his shoulder away from the scared woman. Christian's eyes turned dark on me and I just raised my eyebrows at him. My fingers touched my necklace, one he had made for me on my sixteenth birthday but gave to me years later. He was my forever, our love and bond infinite, and he will be a good boy that listened."This woman said Darien seems distracted. She thinks he's been the one pranking the principal. I want to speak to this so called principal!" His voice softened as he spoke to me, but it still held a demand in his tone. "This woman is his teacher and is harmless. We know our son and I'm sure he has been causing some havoc. Sit and calm yourself." I pushed him down in a small cl
Alley POVMaybe it was the pregnancy hormones or maybe I was really hating Ace right now. So much rage was coursing through my body and I was doing everything in my power not to grab the cake next to me and smash it in that motherfucker's face."What just happened?" Greg asked. He was still playing catch up."Ace faked his death. I'm going to kill him." All the pain I felt the last six months and he was alive? He was just hiding out, lying to all of us to keep us safe. That was bullshit, he was a motherfucker."Whoa! Alley's about to go lethal." Ethan and Daniel were next to me now as I watched Ace kneeling down speaking to Darien and Derek. He did look really hot and how he played with the boys was making my body call to him. No! He pays first."He lied to us." My head shot to Daniel. He knew too."Calm down. Remember you are with child Alley." Daniel had his hands up in the air in surrender."What's happening? I love when Alley goes psycho!" Elise said way too happy at my anger. Lyd
Alley POVSix months later:It has been a hard few months, but Greg was right, I did find happiness again. Losing Ace was just as hard, if not harder, than losing my brother and I would never get over losing either one of them.Daniel and his partner Rowan survived the explosion, but had some scars on their face and arms. I was beyond thankful they made it out alive and thought they just looked more bad ass now. Today Greg, Lydia, Darien, Derek, and myself were driving up to Daniel's summer home in Rhode Island to celebrate his engagement to Elise and his official promotion. Ethan and Layla had the baby girls in tow behind us and I looked back to them in my rear view mirror with a smile. For some reason, I was really, really excited about this weekend trip. We hadn't all spent time together in months and I wanted to be surround by my family for the whole weekend. Daniel already promised a big fire pit out back just for me, it was of course for everyone, but he knew how much I like s
Alley POVIt took Ethan a long time to calm me down and get me on a plane back home. I didn't want to leave without Christian, but Darien was waiting for me at home. I wish I could say it was easier to walk away for my son. I would always choose Darien above Christian, but it didn't mean it made my decision to leave any less harder.I cried in Ethan's chest the whole plane ride home, swearing I would never step foot on one of these again. The second I did get home Darien and Derek were there welcoming me with tears. That did make my sadness a little more bearable. I loved this family so much and I just didn't understand why I couldn't have Christian too. That night Greg stayed with me and we watched movies well past the moon rising. He knew I wasn't sleeping anytime soon and Ethan needed to be with his wife. Layla was doing much better, but she still had her own stuff going on.We didn't speak much and I appreciated how Greg was relentless with the way he cared for me. It reminded m
Daniel POVI paced the hallway outside Ace's hospital bed losing my mind. The switch was supposed to take place already and now I was losing my window. On top of that, once they arrested my boss IA moved in our department. Within a few hours I was assigned as the temporary head of the criminal organization task force and had one sorry ass fucker with a stick up his ass questioning my every move."So, you've worked undercover for seven years with this," a studious prick with four inch thick glasses looked over his paperwork, "ah, Christian Ace Blackwood?""Yes! We discussed this two hours ago. It's not that hard of name to remember either.""I see, yes. I'm just curious if maybe you've been too deep undercover. Seven years is a long time and you seem to have an unhealthy relationship with this murder." The IA agent looked in Ace's room with disgust. He was a murder, but they didn't know his story. He didn't kill randomly and never hurt someone innocent. I can't explain that in any ra
Daniel POV"It's time." I called into Rowan to move in on the people at Déjà vu. "You got everything on our boss we needed." I could hear his amusement over the call. We've been working to take our boss down for over seven years and this was our moment."Every last fucking word." I smiled and hung up.Once I heard about Angelo taking Alley, again, and how Ace was calling a meeting, which included Dmitri I knew how to get my boss. His filth went as deep as you would line his pockets. I feed him the bait that Angelo was desperate and he contacted him to make a deal.Before Ace's little meeting my boss meet Angelo to workout a plan to remove Ace permanently, for a hefty payment of course. Angelo paid him more money then he owned and I got it all on video including the wire transfer.My men moved in already knowing I was running this operation. I saw my boss standing behind Ace with his gun to his head and I knew I had to remove him quickly. He would kill Ace just for the high of taking
Ace POVI stood in front of my wall length mirror adjusting my tie. I haven't looked myself in the eye in a week and I wasn't sure if I liked the man staring back at me. I had my black suit on, black tie, and white shirt. Tonight was about ending as much of the bullshit as possible so I kept it simple. My jet black hair was still a little wet and slicked off to the side. The best feature of my whole body were these eyes and that was because they didn't belong to him. Well one other part of my body but he wasn't getting any attention tonight. I used to see my father in the mirror and fucking hated it more than anything. Despite knowing I was a good looking man I would give anything to change my appearance. To look less like that monster that raised me. Now I say that little boy. A smile tugged at my lips seeing his little face with so much power in it. He was a confident little shit and would grow up to be a man that did what he wanted. No one would keep him back, build him up just
