"What's going on with you and the Staccos?" I faced the two of them, arms folded, face stern so they knew I meant business. I may be younger than they are, but this was still my territory and they had broken into my place. We all knew the only reason they were still breathing was because of my woman. "I told you already, they put a hit out on me.""Yeah, but where does things stand now? How're you handling this shit and how the fuck do we get Mouth out of the middle of this fuckery?" "Mouth, that's what you call her, that's perfect.""Dad, zip it.""See, always was a mouthy little thing. You sure you can handle her Flanagan? Of course I have yet to give my blessing, we're gonna have to have a sit down when this is all over." "I hear what you're saying, she's your daughter, but understand when I took her to my bed I didn't know that, now it makes no difference to me, she's mine." "Shane ... I can't believe you just told my dad that we went to bed t
"I want in, I did all the ground work it's only fair." I opened my mouth to blast her, no fucking way, if she thought I was kidding she could think again. I don't care what she'd gotten up to before she became mine, but there was no way I was standing back and letting her put herself in harm's way ever again though. Ma would have a coronary if she heard about this shit. She liked to pretend that I was just a nightclub owner; I like to keep it that way. "Be reasonable Arianna, you never wanted any part of the life remember and this thing is big, this could mean all out war. Flanagan's right, you need to stay out of this." "Dead man talking. No." She actually held her palm up to him. Damn, she even gives Roberto Rossi shit, this did not bode well for me, she was gonna run circles around my ass for sure. Shit, I am so fucked. Right now I have to find a diplomatic way to get her to pull out. She had that mutinous look on her face which meant we would be here all ni
We went back to reading and planning. I called out for food around seven in the evening; we'd been poring over her notes for hours. I had her sitting next to me so I could feel her, know she was safe, because each time I read how she had broken into some place or the other my blood ran cold. The fact that she'd been in danger all this time, in my own backyard made me see red. When I got to the part about someone breaking into her bedroom back at home in Chicago I wanted to tear the motherfucker apart. Luckily she'd been out gathering information that night and had escaped whatever the fuck had been in store for her. She'd left the next day, no wonder. Now we knew the Staccos had tried to make good on their kidnapping threat. Dead motherfuckers, they were getting more and more dead by the minute. I pulled out my phone at the end of my rope, fuck this shit. "Where the fuck is Stacco?" I listened to the voice on the other end of the line. My men k
I'd decided, my turf, my woman my hit. My guest will just have to take a back seat, it's not like I could move into their territory and make a hit. Besides I owed the Staccos, they'd been fucking with me for way too long. The son was still hiding somewhere but I had a bead on the father, one's good enough for now. I had no doubt that if I hit the father the son would come out of hiding. Him I wanted to spend some time with, marry my girl indeed. The fuck, what he'd planned amounted to rape. He was going to force my Ari, like fuck. I'm gonna enjoy fucking him up. "Carmine Stacco is holed up in a cabin in the forest two hours outside of town, no word yet on where his spawn is but I'm sure when news of his father's demise reaches him we'll flush him out." I imparted that info while we rode down in the elevator, everyone had their game face on now; everything else was forgotten as my detail fell in behind me when we reached the ground floor.
Back in the car the tension was gone. Everyone seemed relaxed, and of course the conversation turned to my upcoming demise. I wish these gossiping fucks would leave me alone, not only did I have my two sisters in law to deal with, but now I had her father and her uncle adding in their two cents worth. "Boy I'm telling you, my little girl can hold a mean grudge and she's got a mean streak a mile wide, you tell him Al.""Yep, we've got the scars to prove it, remember that time she hid all the keys in the house and fucked up the phones so we couldn't call out?" "Shit, I thought we were under attack or some shit." Tony and his sidekick were eating it up, I was just sitting there keeping my cool; she'll be fine. "Why did she do that?" Mikey was leaning over the back seat like a four year old at story time."We missed her school play." They laughed and shook their heads. "What? That's it?""Yeah, it was like the second one in a row, plus some other things
What the fuck? "Mouth...how the fuck...ma?" What the fuck was going on around here? I walked through the door gearing up my nuts for the shit storm that was about to come, only to find that I'd been thwarted again. "Seriously, are you fucking kidding me?" "Shane Patrick Flanagan you watch your mouth." My mother scolded me as she put what looked like a bowl of mashed potatoes on the table. My focus was on Mouth who had yet to say a word or even acknowledge my presence. My two sisters came from the kitchen with more food in their hands while I looked around like I was in the twilight zone. "How did you get out?" "She called me." "She called you, how did she do that?" "Well actually she texted me and told me what you had done, shame on you, I thought I raised my son to treat a lady better than that." "Ma...." "Don't you ma me, you're lucky I don't let her dismember you as she's been threatening to do for th
I walked into the bedroom where she was lying on the bed fully clothed. Toeing off my shoes I got in behind her. Pulling her stiff body back against my front I held her tight. "I'm sorry I scared you, but you will never leave me. Be mad all you want but you be mad here, from now on that's where you belong, with me." She didn't answer but I didn't care so much anymore, she had been afraid for me hadn't she, and she was here with me now, that was all the evidence I needed, she'll get over her mad soon enough, I hope. Damn she' turned me into a fucking lunatic and we had only just begun. *** I awakened sometime in the middle of the night with the boner from hell; I still had a tight grip on Arianna as she slept. I wonder how seriously she would hurt me if I tried to fuck her right now? Shit, she's asleep, if I did shit just right I could be in the pussy before she even awakened. I started inching up her t-shirt slowly, inch by inch, my fingers
Sucker, I'm glad his mom had let slip how much he hated tears, now I had him just where I wanted him, I knew the silent treatment wouldn't work for too long on his hard headed ass, the man had Alpha male stamped all over his shit, but there's always more than one way to skin a cat, now I had him in the palm of my hands, oh the possibilities. I had to control my grin before I could answer him, couldn't give myself away had to make him sweat the little shit. "I don't know that there's anything you can do, you made me look stupid in front your boys and my uncle and dad." I gave a little sullen shrug for effect. You should see his face, if he could kick his own ass in that moment he would've. Meanwhile the tears are still flowing, hehehe. "Come on now baby, stop crying you're fucking killing me here, whatever you want me to do I'll do it." I let him hug me close, after all I loved his hugs and the sex, sweet merciful heavens, that shit was hot, maybe
I playfully begged her not to off the poor woman. The fact is; Mouth has a spreadsheet on every person who has anything to do with our son's school. She ain't collecting that shit to invite them over for tea. "Mouth, your pregnant ass can't fight, let me handle it okay." "What're you gonna do Shane? Talk her to death?" I ignored her snippy ass and went back to entertaining my kid. Mouth had lasted two years before I bred her ass again, not from lack of my trying. Her body just seems to work that way, because as soon as Lily turned two, I bred her ass again. I think it has something to do with her nursing shit. I heard the hospice rejects pulling my back door before they trooped into my damn house. Her old man headed straight for my kid and took her off my lap. I'm tired of threatening him over that shit too; no one listens to me anymore. Poppy dropped down on the chair beside me while uncle Al checked the pots like this was the fucking local eatery. "What's wrong w
I sat up again and covered her lips as I moved inside her. I slipped one of my hands between us and found her clit. I fucked until she got off and then stopped, taking soft little nibbles of her lip before pulling back to look at her. "What is it then?" "I was thinking... Since we already have Shane Junior, could we name this one after my dad?" "Roberto Flanagan? You'd be shooting motherfuckers everyday for beating up your kid for that fucked up name." Her face turned thunderous and she looked like she was giving serious thought to maiming me. My dick got harder, longer. "Then we should give him both his names. Roberto Rossi." "Mouth, I know you're an independent, strong willed, bad ass, Beyoncé loving bitch, but don't go too far. Don't forget who's the man here. My son will never have another man's name, no matter who." She gave me one of her looks and teased my nipple with her nail. "Fine, then can we call him Ari?" Her face blushed and I won
"You know, a gift for having the kid, that's what they call them." "How the fuck would you know? You don't have a kid Tony." "The girls be talking and we be listening, just forget all that and get her some shit." "Like what jewelry? Does Mouth look like the kind of female to go for that shit?" "Bro, all females like jewelry even the ones who pretend they don't. Besides it doesn't have to be jewelry. She's your woman you should know what she likes, get her something she would appreciate." "Fuck no I'm not getting her murdering ass no bow and arrow." The two idiots rolled their eyes at me and moved the fuck on. Thank fuck, I was enjoying junior before they came with their shit. Fuck, what am I supposed to get her? Ma might know, yeah. Nah I have to figure this one on my own, if I go running to ma for advice the mouthy one might find out and ride my ass. *** "Mob boy what's this?" I threw the key on the bed next to her and dropped d
I picked her up and yelled for her team who came running. I directed them to her bags and rushed outside as fast as I could while carrying her. "Breathe Mouth." I fell into the breathing exercise easily as I placed her in the back seat and got in beside her. She had a death grip on my hand as Mikey and Tony came running. We peeled out into the night with a caravan behind us. Mouth would choose the dinner hour to do this shit when everybody and their mother were on the damn street. "Drive Mikey." Basically I was telling him to mow down any motherfucker that got in the way. I don't recall much of what happened once we reached the hospital. I only know that I never left her side. There were voices all around us but I couldn't tell you what any of them said. Mouth was doing her best but she was in a bad way. When she wasn't digging holes in my hand and screaming bloody murder, she was giving me the stink eye. "This is bullshit." She'd just had a contraction so I though
I was making my way to our bedroom with the new stuffed toy in my arms. It was like the tenth one I'd bought in the last month. This one was about three feet tall, and cute. Mouth will probably hook him up with her surveillance shit. She'd turned the nursery into a showroom for NASA. There were more cameras and recording shit in there than the damn space shuttle. I think Mouth has ADHD or some fuck. More like she hasn't offed anyone in a long time and she's fiending. It has been a rough few months with me trying to blend the two families and keeping her ass out of it. It makes her crazy but I threatened everyone that if they went around me this time they'd be done no matter who the fuck. That had kept her ass quiet so far but I think that had more to do with the child growing in her womb than anything else. It sure hasn't done anything about her damn mouth. One mystery that still baffles me to this day though, is her new relationship with Jimmy. For some reason t
I took my life in my hands and knocked on the door. Ma of course answered the door and went into warrior mode when she saw it was me. I held the flowers behind my back out of view of her nosy ass. "Where's Mouth?" "Shane you can't be here, shoo." "Ma, those women in there decent?" I moved to go by her in the door and she tried to slam that shit in my face. "Ma stop fuck... ah ma, get Mouth." Hell if I'm begging her in my own house. "Mouth." When she realized I wasn't going away she turned back into the room and called my girl. "You have five minutes." She gave me the stink eye and closed the door in my face. A vision opened the door and stepped out. It took me a minute to realize that ma wasn't playing a joke. "Mouth, is that you?" I reached out a hand to touch her hair and dropped for fear that I would mess it up. She started to say something smart when she stopped and sniffed the air. I saw the tears start to gather in her eyes and brought the special bouq
"Oh for fuck sake." I was finally at the end of my rope with the women around here and their shit. Mouth was in the middle of a tug of war, me on one side ma on the other. Apparently we weren't allowed to see each other the night before the wedding. "I feel really bad for you and whatever asshole came up with that one, she's not sleeping away from me." Ma had given up scolding me for cussing about five minutes after she dropped her little bombshell. She was trying to take my woman out of my house for the night and thought all she had to do was tell me as they were sneaking out the door. "I told you he wouldn't go for it Pia. You need to calm down mob boy. It's just across the yard." I leaned over into her face and finally tugged her away from ma. "You're not sleeping any fucking where but here." Why do I always have to repeat myself? In the last week or so leading up to the wedding that was turning into more of a production than the second coming, these people have tried
"I'm hungry. What do we have to eat?" Mouth headed for the fridge as soon as we got in the house. It was damn near five o'clock in the morning and we'd just landed. I nodded for the twins to disappear to their place, which was between our home and my parents on the grounds. "Mouth sit down I'll make breakfast." "I don't want breakfast, I want...Parmesan." She rubbed her hands together and rummaged through the freezer for chicken I guess. I'm tired as fuck but if she wants that shit I'll help her make it. Fuck I know about Italian food. She defrosted the chicken and the homemade sauce that she and her uncle had made a few days ago, all the while talking to me about what we had to do in the coming days to get ready for the wedding. Now I know I'm a cold motherfucker, but I don't think I've ever gone out on a hit and came back home to make a three course meal. I helped as much as I could. Okay I boiled the water for pasta. By the time Poppy and the others came straggling in
She squeezed my hand before pulling away and heading for the door. I wanted to call out to her, to tell her let me just put one in him through the window, but had to bite my tongue before I gave us away. I was right on her ass though when she burst through the door. Tommy jumped up from his chair and reached for his gun on the side table. Before his hand could connect there was a whistling sound in the air as she released the arrow. I hadn't even seen her notch that shit. She missed. The shot had gone through his shoulder with such force that it had driven him back and pinned him to the wall, but it wasn't her usual kill shot to the head. Fuck! I didn't look back when I heard the others come into the room behind me, but kept my eyes on her. Her breathing didn't even accelerate as she approached him. His eyes went wide and he seemed more afraid of her than the shit in his shoulder. "You... can't be. You're dead." What the fuck? Had he tried to kill her too? Then it hit me;
