"I think something's wrong with Vanessa." I'd left her in the window seat and headed back to the living room with the others. "What do you mean, is she sick?" Gaby stopped halfway to her seat. We were just sitting around cooling our heals since the men had pretty much forbidden us to do anything more than sit and look at the four walls. Connor was being even more of a tyrant than usual and I despaired of having a moment's peace for the next few months until the baby came. I've never seen such a strong man lose it over a pregnancy before in my life. It's like we were transported back to the seventeenth century when conditions were tentative at best and the birth rate was a lot sketchier. As much as I tried convincing him that everything would work out fine, he wasn't having it. And now with this new development things were going to be a lot worst. Now we were cooped up in the house under strict orders to stay put, with two relative strangers. I liked Vanessa, s
It felt like she'd been hiding from me all day. Every time I came within breathing distance she found somewhere else to be. I was getting pretty fucking tired of that shit and was looking for her to set her ass straight when I came up on her and Logan in some sort of secret meet, they were standing way too fucking close. I stopped short and took it in, willing myself not to go off kilter, which is usually my first response. There was a strange vehicle parked just inside the gate, which I totally ignored because the scene looked all fucking wrong to me. Cool it Zak; fuck that. "What the fuck are you doing?" I started moving again with purpose. Now rationally, I knew there was nothing going on. I knew that Lo would never poach on my shit, and since she didn't have a death wish she wouldn't play me false. But irrationally, I didn't like anyone that fucking close to her and they all knew it. So far everyone had respected my boundaries, but with the way she'd been acting an
"You fucked up royally, I don't even know what to say to you and she isn't mine. You shoulda known he was gonna go ape shit." I was sitting in Logan and Gaby's kitchen trying to come to terms with the scene that had just unfolded outside. Yes I had expected Zak to be pissed, but I hadn't expected the look of unbridled hatred in his eyes. I wasn't sure I would ever overcome that, and now he had my daughter, and had locked himself away in his house. I felt the disappointment from the men around me, even as Gaby, Dani and even little Susie hung close and tried to offer me comfort. "I know you're all mad at me, but try to understand, I didn't do this to hurt him..." "This is a conversation you're gonna have to have with him. We're not gonna go against him on this and you know that. I don't know your reasons for doing what you did, but I do know my brother, and right now, you're fucked." My body jerked at his words. "Hey, there's no point in me sugar coatin
"You've got to do something." I knew she was going to follow me outside; that's why I did it. I was proud of her for holding her tongue in front of the others, not showing her displeasure or her fear, but I wanted her to come to me always. "This is not for you little Susie. There are things going on here that you know nothing about." I stayed away from her, okay like a few feet. But that was a lot considering I wanted to reach out and take her in my arms and...no Cord not yet, remember who you're dealing with. Even before the suspicion that she might be the old man's daughter, I knew I had to take it slow. She was like a dainty little bird, one wrong move and I'd bruise her wing; I could never have that. "It doesn't matter, that's her baby, it's not right." She's so fucking young, and even with all that mouth of hers, so na飗e in some ways. I'd seen the fear in her back there when my brothers were telling Vanessa how things really were. For someone who
We sat watching each other for a good five minutes. She was studying me, and I was studying her, and wondering what the fuck? She couldn't talk yet but the baby sounds she made as she pointed at my face or patted my cheek were music to my ears. I'd already checked her over to make sure she was okay, that she had all her fingers and toes, and I wasn't sure what the fuck she was looking for, but she was looking me over pretty hard herself, and babbling away. "I'm your daddy." Those words sounded foreign and I had to clear my throat after saying them. She patted my cheek and grinned with about six teeth showing. How the fuck do babies do that shit? I didn't even know her, but already she was everything. Just like her fuck of a mother. I'm not thinking about that female, not now, I just wanted to concentrate on my daughter. Shit, I needed shit, didn't babies need food and shit, and clothes she needed clothes. I picked up the phone in a near panic just as t
My kid started to fret so I took her from Dev, who had been in the middle of cooing at her. She stuffed her hand in her mouth and looked at her daddy all miserable and shit and I forgot everything else. "What's wrong with her?" I looked at the others who were all stumped. I was tempted to call one of the females but I didn't trust their asses right now. "I think that means she needs changing." Quinn tried sniffing her. "Get the fuck away from her." I moved her out of the way. "Fuck is wrong with you?" "Language." Lo studied her like he knew what the fuck he was talking about. When she started eating my shirt I think we all knew what was going on. "She's hungry, what the fuck am I supposed to feed her? I don't have anything in the house." I was about to go into total panic as my brothers threw around ideas. "How about asking her mother?" I gave Con the death glare and headed for the fridge. I showed her an apple but she just kicked her legs and fussed even hard
"Are you fucking kidding me? You're gonna tell me what my kid needs when you kept her away from me all this time? You had my kid out in the fucking world and I didn't even know she existed. I move across the globe, putting my life in danger to make the world a better place for other people's kids, and never knew that I had one of my own to safeguard, to protect. You can get the fuck outta my face now before this shit gets ugly." I didn't care about her slumped shoulders or the tears that were gathering in her eyes. She fucking gutted me. Only someone who had no fucking regard for me could've done something like this to me; fuck her. How was it possible to hate and want someone at the same time? This whole thing was so confusing. I hadn't really had time to take it all in yet, to put things in their right perspective. All I knew right now is that I was a dad. I had a little life that was a part of me to take care of for the rest of my life. That was go
Did she really hate me this fucking much? The fuck I care. Oh you care. Shut...the fuck...up. "Is it, are you sure about that brother? Do you remember where we were two days after you two split? We went off the grid for four and a half months." Logan had a point but still, there were a million ways she could've got word to me, especially afterwards when we'd been back on domestic soil. "I don't buy that shit, she had ample time, two fucking years and she doesn't say a word. That's part of me in there, the best fucking part and I wouldn't have known about her if you hadn't called that..." "Hey!" They all got in my damn face. "Fine, had you not needed that she devil's help I wouldn't know I have a daughter. I don't care what any of you say, she was fucking wrong and I never did anything to her to deserve this shit. My fucking kid spent a whole fucking year on this earth without me there to look out for her." Each time I thought of it I wanted to wring her
About half an hour in my skin started to ice and I felt the blood all but stop in my veins. This couldn't be right, but there it was in black and white. A million thoughts ran through my head as I tried to make sense of what I was looking at. How, when and why were foremost, but this shit was too close for comfort, and I knew our lives were about to change again. Fuck! "Guys we've got a problem." I waited for each of them to stop what they were doing and give me their attention, we were gonna need to be one hundred percent on this. "That deal with the desert fox and the thing that's going on in our backyard are connected." "What the fuck are you talking about?" Zak was out of his seat and reaching for the papers in my hand with the others not far behind. "Whatever he's running it's tied into this place." I had to get up and walk that shit off. This shit had just changed the playing field and made everything we had done or even thought thus far null and
It was dark as fuck and all I had to go by was the rough map Davie had drawn up. But we've traversed worse places with less so I wasn't worried. I'd left my woman knocked the fuck out in bed, she wasn't stirring until noon the earliest, I made sure of it. Sex is the best damn sleep-aid if you ask me. There was no one around except for the two men patrolling the front of the grounds. I guess they weren't expecting anyone to come through the woods back here. There was a faint light that came from one of the side lamps but other than that the place was in total darkness. I took out the sonar equipment I had brought along. This one was smaller than the prototype because we had worked on it ourselves and tinkered with shit until it could do ten times what it was first made to do. We could probably sell this shit to the government and make a mint, but we weren't interested in anyone knowing about the little toys we've been building since our retirement.
Oh my word, that's all I had, all I could come up with. I wasn't sure the next day if to hide or strut. Well I couldn't strut, I was too sore for that, but, well.... I now see what the girls were talking about when it comes to their men. One good thing came of it I guess, other than Ty proclaiming his love, trying his best to impregnate me and gifting me with a necklace that looked just like the other's. Baby Zak seemed to forgive me for stealing her Unca Ty. The next morning when we met the others at Zak's and Vanessa's for breakfast, she gave him a lecture or her version of one and reached out for me instead. He looked hurt and mumbled something under his breath about fucking females before Zak told him to suck it up. Her defection didn't last long however since he spent the whole of breakfast trying to win back her charms, which caused his brothers to tease him unmercifully. He didn't seem to care though as long as his baby Zak gave him one of her sweet smile
I walked into the house as calm as I could. I knew I had to keep a tight reign on myself lest the situation get out of hand, but fuck if she wasn't pushing all my limits today. "You were going to leave me?" I found her in the bedroom pacing, mad as hell."Cord told you?" She was mad at that, at the thought of my brother betraying her, how then could she not see that her running out on me was a kind of betrayal in itself? "No he didn't, I saw you." She deflated at that and looked anywhere but at me. "Come here to me." She had the good sense to do as I said and came to stand in front of me. I didn't say anything else to her, just grabbed her top between my fists and tore it down the middle before tossing the scraps aside. I ripped the skirt from around her waist in much the same way before pulling my own shirt over my head and kicking off my jeans. "Since I can't beat you because you're still getting over your attack, I'm gonna do the next best thing. If you ev
"Oh shit." Dammit, I almost made it. I saw the truck pulling through the gate behind me, and my foot almost slipped off the brake. That wasn't so bad though, what put a cold fear in my gut was the look on Ty's face as he sat in the passenger seat. Calm down Vicki it'll be okay. I told myself that as I climbed out of the car on shaking legs and my mouth dry. I was so turned around I hadn't realized I'd stopped in the middle of the damn yard instead of pulling into Ty's driveway. I heard a door slam behind me and turned to see a storm cloud headed my way. I started to back up and actually turned to run. I know anger when I see it and he was beyond pissed. I was pretty sure whatever he had in mind I wasn't going to have time to explain myself. It was as I turned seeking escape that I noticed everyone was outside at this point; even the damn baby was about to witness my humiliation. Geez all I did was go get some clothes. Yeah but you snuck out without telling anyo
I need clothes. It has been two weeks since I've been here and things had calmed down some. I didn't get the feeling that Ty and the others were on high alert any longer, and that went a long way to making me feel relaxed, maybe too relaxed. Ty had brought my purse to me only the day before. I'd been so caught up in the newness of our relationship that I had forgotten all about it. I didn't even ask if he'd gone back to that horrid place to get it or if it had been here all along. The first thing I did was charge my phone when I realized I hadn't spoken to my boss down at the diner and had no idea if I even still had a job. I was more than happy to find out when I called that I did and that they were short staffed. I agreed to start in a couple days. Ty and the guys had started going back to the construction site even though one or the other of them usually stayed behind, and then there was Davie who was always around these days with school being out. Wi
Fuck I was all the way in her. My cock jackhammered into her tight pussy over and over as she screamed and came in one long never-ending stream. "Taka it, take it take my cock." I gritted out the words to her as I watched my cock slide in and out of her. Her pussy had a grip on my meat, a stranglehold really, but that shit felt phenomenal. My balls slapped against her ass with each thrust and I pressed my thumb down on her clit for some added pleasure. She stayed with me all the way, moving and twisting her hips, fucking up at me as her feet hit me in the back. With her legs still over my shoulders I bent her in half so I could reach her tits. She went crazy on my cock when I sucked her nipple into my mouth. "Fuck me Tyler, so good." It's when I heard those words from my sweet girl's lips that I knew she was truly with me all the way. "Cum for me baby, I'm so close, yeah that's it, make that pussy cum." She dragged her nails down my arms, threw her head
The rest of us listened in from the secure room as Cord started shit off. "I don't know brother, I didn't sign up for this shit. I thought we came here to retire, settle down and get away from all that shit." "Yeah but we can't turn a blind eye to whatever the fuck is going on here brother. That's not what we do, we have too much training to just sit by idly and not do something when shit looks that off." "That's just it, we don't know what's going on if anything. I mean what do we have, a couple guys chasing the women at the beach in the dark? Who says that was anything more than two horny soldiers out for a good time on leave? And this latest thing with Ty's woman, how do we know it's even connected?" "So what are you saying, you think we should just go on with life as usual? Come on Cord that doesn't even sound like you.""What I'm saying is that we're not in the field anymore and I don't need anyone calling the plays for me. I'm not Lo's lil bitch to just
I had the biggest fucking grin on my face as I shoveled in some kind of country style eggs that were so flavorful I could've wept. No one was talking they were too busy scraping their plates. "Geez Zak at least leave the pattern on the plate." He gave me the finger behind his daughter's head. Even the baby thought the shit was good if the way she waved her legs and chortled while stealing bits from my plate was any indication. My brothers were singing her praises and my chest swelled with pride until I felt Dev and Quinn staring at me. When I scowled over at them that fucker Quinn had the nerve to mouth the words 'bitch made at me' the fuck. I'll take both of them no sweat. "Do you really like it sweetie?" She calls me sweetie, too cute, and if these fuckers don't stop choking on their shit I'll give them something to choke on the fucks. "Yeah baby it's really good." The girls chimed in and pretty soon the conversation changed from food to weddings and a
