“So, the plan for going forward?” Gunner looks all too excited right now.“We keep her safe, make sure she can’t be taken. Strengthen everything around us, more guards, more watching, everything. Then we wait. We have proof of what her family’s plan was, but again, we can’t take action when it’s their own family they are doing it too, not ours,” Dante explains.“You’re joking, right? She is our family; she took the shit you gave her last night. She chose us,” I insist.“Let’s wait and see. You and Bear are getting attached too fucking quickly! She chose us, yes, because she had no other option. Do you really think she would if we gave her a card and a pass to get out of our city? No, she would take it and fucking run.”“She wouldn’t. I know she wouldn’t.” Bear looks at Dante.“Let’s just forget Emmi for now, please. Give it a few days, then we will see. Right now, someone needs to let Dean know, catch him up on everything. Gunner and I will go around and try to find out who these new
Inside my room, I see a note with a box under it. The note simply says, ‘wear me’. I feel like rolling my eyes, but I won’t. I hear the door opening and when I turn, Zane is standing there, looking at me.“Did I hurt you?”Wait. I stare at him, shocked. “No, Zane, you didn’t hurt me, I swear.”I try and smile at him, but he just says “okay,” and walks away. He didn’t hurt me. I only cried because for a moment, I actually thought he was going to fuck me, then he stopped again.I take a shower and put on the dress from the box laid out for me. I smile down at it; it’s beautiful. Long and white, with a V-neck that plunges down far too low, but if they want men staring, then so be it. I can’t wear a bra because the back is also revealed. I laugh slightly as I put on the shoes and walk out. I watch as Bear, Gunner and Dante turn and stare at me.“Now, that’s hot and worth fucking.” Bear smiles at me as I roll my eyes.“Sit, sugar,” Dante says. I nod and do as he says.“I’m in trouble, aren
She stands before me, shaking slightly, but her eyes are still wide and bright.“Fuck me.” Her words are stern and make me laugh. “I mean it! If you don’t fuck me, then I swear I will go out there and fuck your guards. No more saying no, just do it.” She pushes herself against me, a moan escaping her mouth as she does.“Emmi.” How the hell can I keep saying no?“Please, you told me to choose. I choose now, I choose you. You said no to all of you, so you, I choose you to fuck me first.” Her body pushes against mine. Turning with her in my arms, I push her down onto the bed. I climb onto her as my mouth captures hers, the kiss starting slow and soft before it becomes aggressive, both of us fighting each other to dominate the kiss, my mouth swallowing and muffling her moans. Without breaking the kiss, I pull her dress, tearing it open.Glancing down, I smile. “I fucking love peepholes.” I grab her nipple and pull, causing her to cry out slightly. Her legs wrap around my waist, and I feel
When I wake, the first thing I see is Emmi, asleep and wrapped around me. I need to get information today on who tried shooting her. Moving carefully, I peel back the blanket, then stop. There’s blood. Why is there blood? I try to remember last night, but even when I woke hours ago, there wasn’t blood. Then I remember. It’s been a month, a month since she came.I get out of bed, shower, and get dressed before running her a bath. When I return, I lean over her and kiss her. I watch as she wakes and looks at me.“Morning.” Her voice is quiet as she smiles at me.“Morning. I ran you a bath.” I sit next to her, and she looks at me, confused. “You started bleeding; you get in the bath. After that, I will sort the bed.” I kiss her lips but when I pull back, I see the panic in her eyes. Maybe I should have just left and acted like I didn’t notice? “Don’t panic. Go get in the bath and let us know if you want anything.” But she just keeps scaring at me. Okay, maybe I should leave?I step out a
This morning was awkward. Weird and fucking awkward. I hadn’t even considered when I was due on. No, I just forgot, as if it no longer existed. Dante looked at me, waiting for me to go get in the bath. There was no way in hell I was going to stand naked and walk through knowing I had blood on me. So, I waited for him to leave then ran to the bathroom. When I emerged, the bed was sorted, and a box was on the bed. Inside were pads, tampons, tablets for the pain, everything I would have thought of, even chocolate! Someone had put chocolate in it.I spent the day with Bear and Zane, although there wasn’t much excitement. Dante and Gunner had ‘gone to paint the cities red’ based on Bear’s words. From what I learned; they were trying to find out who ordered the hit on me.That moment is burned into my mind. Dante hadn’t even hesitated. He just jumped and protected me, not caring that he could have got shot. What does that mean anyway? From how they spoke, I know they don’t jump in front of
Back at the house, I decide to go with Gunner and Bear through to the kitchen. We cook together and I find it takes my mind off everything. I am amazed that they can all seem to cook, and they always try to have breakfast together.The week passes quickly, I find myself sleeping alone because I don’t feel comfortable sleeping with them while I’m bleeding. They seem to be planning a lot. I haven’t asked about much, just concentrated on getting through this week. But somehow, I have craved them even more this week, knowing I can’t have them.I stand in the kitchen cooking, Gunner and Bear cooking, I am more watching. I am excited for tonight to have one of them cuddle me again as I sleep.“Little kitten, little kitten.” I laugh at Gunner. Turning, I look at him.“What, psycho?”“Take these through. We will be right behind you.” Nodding, I take the plates and walks through. I stop when I see Dante and Zane talking. Something feels off. I watch as Dante smiles slightly.“Food first. Eat,
Her words cut deep, and somehow; it feels good. How fucked up is that? My lips crash against hers, a moan escaping my mouth. She pushes me back as she tries freeing herself.“Get off me! You really think I want you? No one wants you, Zane.” Her words are sharp.“Like I fucking care!” I kiss her again, feeling her fighting against me, my body pinning hers against the wall as my mouth kisses down her neck. Screaming, she keeps trying to push me away.“You can’t fuck me!” She yells the words, which make me laugh.“I can! Do you think we don’t know about you and Dante? We got back and heard your screams.” My hands move, pulling and ripping her dress open. I bite down against her neck, causing her to scream more. I feel her body shift, her hand swinging with a knife, but I knock it from her grasp, the blade catching me slightly.I pin her more forcefully as my hands pull her underwear away from her body. Sliding my hand down her stomach, I stop between her legs, feeling the wetness. Hell,
I watch as he walks out, and I know I made him worse. He was fine, but I know he took my words to heart. I just wanted to help, and somehow, in the process, I made him worse. I lie still, my body wrapped around the thick throw, waiting, and watching the door. Slowly, I feel my eyes slip closed as I wait for him to come back.The bang has me jolting awake.“Why would you say that? Don’t fuck around with Zane because I swear you won’t be breathing.” Dante stands next to the bed, Gunner beside him. Hell, they both look pissed off.“I didn’t mean it! I told him I didn’t.” I should never have said it. Why did I? He didn’t even act like this when I mentioned his mum.“Clearly you did, to think of that. If you see it as us raping you, then stay the hell away from us,” he says. I look to Gunner as he shakes his head at me.“You agree? Do you guys not know me?” Of course, I didn’t mean it.“How can we? We thought we knew your family, my dad thought he knew them, but hell, we had no idea of the
It has been eight months since we had Harlem and he’s wild already, just like Gunner. I place him in bed and kiss him. I know he will be safe tonight. There will be four guards outside this room. Three more at the end of the hall. No one except the guys and me will be able to get through. We’re back at the old place for tonight's party. It’s safer than having people in our home.“He asleep?” I watch as Zane walks over, peering into the cot. “Go get ready. I’ll sit here for a bit.” His lips press against my neck for a moment before I leave. Bear looking around for something, and I laugh.“You, wasn’t it?” He turns to face me.“Maybe, Daddy, maybe not.” I walk past him, but he grabs me, dragging me back.“What are you hoping to gain?” He pushes me against the wall.“I don’t know. Maybe, just maybe I want to be bad.” I bite my lip.“Prove it, dirty girl, prove you want to be bad.”I start to strip, my hips swinging as I do. “Just imagine, Daddy, me bent over that bad, with your hands gra
It has been nearly nine months, and it is incredible to watch Emmi, to see her stomach blossom, and somehow, it has tamed Gunner when he’s near her. He is still as savage with those he needs to be with, but with Emmi, he is careful.“Is it sorted?” I turn to Bear and nod.“Gunner killed them, with people watching. Everyone now knows not to touch them.” It was a mess and a war we couldn’t afford.“No one else does, Dante. Very few do that. Those guys just saw cash and thought they could take it. They didn’t even consider the consequences or consider who they were trying to raid.”He is right. Sure, people still commit minor, petty crimes, which the police deal with. However, they had been watching Jax and his family. That was clear when they attacked them within the city. We’re lucky Jax and his guys walked away and let us deal with it. They could have started a war.“Is she ready?” We should be leaving. I agreed we would go to their city, expecting them to show here after everything w
Six months! It has been six months since that punishment since I admitted I loved them. Gunner started great. The last month though, I have been nothing but exhausted as he tried to complete his quest. He was relentless in his pursuit for it, and now, well, he won.I step out of the bathroom. I am shaking, crazy scared shaking. I walk out to the pool, and they are all sat around it. I’m lucky, they are hot, and I know I am lucky.“Finally, come sit here.” Bear spreads his legs. Moving, I sit between them and lean back. He will protect me from Gunner. I know he will.“Everything okay?” Zane looks at me. “You took a long time in there.”“So you know what we haven’t spoken about?” We’ve discussed a lot. We spoke about how sleeping would go. They work some nights, so it makes it easier. I share a bed with two of them most nights. It changes from night to night based on who is working and not, who fucked me that night and didn’t.We got married, which was amazing but not legal. I don’t car
A month has passed, and Emmi is excellent, but now we have a new threat. Wensendale City, and Garrod. He keeps trying to push his foot through our city with his dirty work, dirty work, which I will never agree to. I watch as he walks towards me and sits down. I don’t bother shaking his hand. I don’t do that shit. I look from him to the guys with him. I know Jax, and I wonder how long he will do this for before he runs home to his wife?“So, do you agree?” Garrod leans forward, looking at me.“No. My city isn’t a place for that. If I catch any of your men in it, you can guarantee they won’t make it out alive.” I listened to his arrangement, and no amount of money makes it right.“Your loss, Dante. The Wolversons would be well known in many cities had you agreed.”“For the wrong reasons. Women are not weak. They are not a liability or a way to create money. Not in that way. Our city has survived many falls of other cities, many wars. We do not plan to change it. People are happy in our
It has been four weeks, and those four weeks passed quickly. I’ve spent plenty of time at the new house, helping get it sorted, and it looks even more amazing every day. Every day I spend it with a different brother as they continue to clean up my family’s mess.The border has dropped between the cities, which is amazing. It means Solace City and Wolverson City are together as one. My shoulder has healed, and everything is looking great.“What do you think?” I hear Gunner behind me, and I laugh.“You big psychotic bastard.” I look at the small crib. He is fucking crazy.“Soon, believe me if you’re not already, you will be. I don’t care if it takes fucking you every hour.” I turn and look at him.He is obsessed with getting me pregnant, which is fucking weird. Yet somehow cute, seeing him with the kitten is impressive, and I can just imagine him holding a baby. The room is bright pink, so I’m guessing he wants a girl. If not, he didn’t think this through. I have no issues with a boy sl
I sit and hold the papers. Everything going around in my head. They have all admitted they love me. They are trying to make me see that.“Do you love me, though?” I look up and watch their shocked looks. “I was forced on you guys. You had no choice.” I walked away and came back, but they didn’t get a choice.“Emmi! We are here. We love you. We let you go because we loved you. We aren’t you. We couldn’t come back to prove it. Us showing you we loved you was us letting you go. We love you and want you by choice, not because you were placed here.” Zane’s words make me smile.Glancing down, I look at the papers. I know they want me to say it, but saying it scares the fucking shit out of me.“You’re our family, Emmi, because we want you to be,” Dante says.I open the pages and stare at it: a house. So beautiful, it is big, with gardens. This place doesn’t have gardens, and I miss that. I have missed having the garden to escape to. The house looks fantastic, or it will once it is done nicel
At home, I send Emmi through to her room to clean up as I walk into the kitchen and check everything.“Okay, get out there set up while we get ready.” I walk off, trusting that they will do a good job. We all need to change and be ready, and I’m hoping this makes her feel like she can trust us. I hope so, anyway.After getting changed and showered, I walk out. Then, going to her room, I open the door and peek my head around.“Something hot, think of a party, elegant, sexy, that sort of thing.” I want her to take a little longer getting ready. Turning, I shut the door.“All sorted and set up. So we just go with the flow?” Zane asks.“Yes, because even if we plan this, we will fuck up, so we just go with it. Sit, eat the meal, then tell her.” It is a perfect plan. Walking through, I smile, seeing the rose petals on the floor. Every now and then, a full rose lays waiting. We all stand by the table and wait.I hear her door first, then her footsteps. She stops. “Pick them up,” I call thro
The door opens, and Dante looks at us, then relaxes.“Everything good?” He looks at me.“Yeah, can we just pretend all that didn’t happen?” I want to forget it.“Sure, Juliet won’t try that shit again.” Gunner grins and pulls me out.“So, what, we pretend you walked out of her office, and nothing happened?” Dante looks at me, and I nod.I feel someone's hand on my lower back.“Nice work telling her the rules, little lamb. Do you want the play later?”I laugh at Bears words, grateful he is playing along and pretending shit didn’t happen. We reach the car. “I don’t think you can handle it, Daddy.” His eyes widen as I climb into the car, and Gunner sits next to me.“Okay, Dean’s place next.” I look towards them. His soft smile is trying to calm me, and I know he will talk to Zane and find out what happened. For now, I will forget it, as best as I can.“Okay, Dean’s place next.” I look towards them.“You realise this will be a fight, right?” I look at them. “Last time I walked in there, t
My eyes follow her gaze and land on Zane. Jealousy begins to flood through me. He is leaning into a woman; I watch as he whispers in her ear and kisses her cheek.“Oh, you thought you were the only one? Zane is a sweetheart; he and Danielle go way back.”I shake my head, ignoring her words.“Ask if you don’t believe me. For nearly a year they were dating. Hell, they made a cute baby.” I turn and look at her, shocked. Her smile is growing. “You didn’t know? Why else do you think he’s slipping money into her hand on the sly?” I turn back and watch as he does.Zane wouldn’t. I feel my head shake.“He calls in like clockwork. Seems he is paying her an early visit today. I can show you footage of how often he comes in here to see her if you like?”“No.” My word is quiet.“He has always been a player. Zane can’t have one woman, he tried with Danielle, and that failed. She accepted she will never be the only one with him, though.” Her words hurt.Standing, I walk out. Pulling Zane back, I ho
