"Come on, Lily Anna, something's wrong." Why does it keep going off? I know I didn't have enough time to plant the device under uncle Hank's desk that first day, but it didn't need that much done to it, and anyway, it had been working just fine when I tested it out at home. Now it keeps going in and out at odd times, so I need to get in there and take care of it, but all of the men are in there still, so nope. Luckily, Bunny's outside the door, where I'd sent him as soon as I knew that's where they were headed, but unless he's inside the room with them, the recording chip in his collar sometimes doesn't pick up everything, and daddy's not about to trust him anywhere near where they're discussing secrets. That's why I don't feel so guilty about playing a trick on uncle Hank because it's his fault daddy found out about Bunny's secret in the first place.I know it's only a matter of time before daddy, uncle Hank or one of the other uncles figures out what I'm doing, but right now, th

"Dafuq!" I've never seen grown men so close to crying."Is this a joke?" Was heard from more than one corner while on the screen, some asshole had made a loop of the NFL theme song and put it up on YouTube."Did our wives do this?" Quinn asked, looking close to tears. "What infraction have we committed this time to warrant this?""That's just pure evil." Devon looked like he was in shock. "They've been acting up a lot lately, you notice?"I kept my eyes on Mancini because he seemed to be the only one not surprised. I knew he was onto something when he started looking around the room as if searching for something. He walked to the TV and ran his fingers over a cord, which he then followed from behind the TV to a place behind the curtain."Oh sh*t , that's just genius." He did one of those fake shivers that teenage girls do, and I rolled my eyes."What is it?" He lifted a very familiar-looking laptop, and my guts started to hurt."But doesn't the TV play YouTube videos? It'
the squad Chapter 47: Jason
I didn't sleep much the night before, too caught up in her, and trying to understand how she could possibly have gotten under my skin so easily without even trying. Maybe it's a combination of knowing some of what she'd been through and feeling compassionate along with her exotic beauty mixed with the fact that just breathing her in makes me hard; I'm still not sure. But I'm guessing Lyon's thunderbolt comment wasn't too far off the mark. "Where are you taking me? And why are you so fond of manhandling me?" I dropped her hand so fast she was startled. It was her words spoken in just that way that freaked me out. I have to keep reminding myself to go slow with her. That she's not one of my jump-offs that I can just do with as I please and walk away when it's over. But my reaction didn't seem to be what she wanted. "Sorry!" I was looking in her eyes when I apologized, and she didn't look overly bothered or like she was having some sort of flashback.I know I was being this way becau
the squad Chapter 48: Kat
Whew, I'm glad that's over. It's not everyday us girls can get one over on our men, but lately, with Catalina's help, the tables sure have turned. At least this time, the fight was more between Illyana and her knucklehead, and the rest of us were just there as backup to make sure our sister came out on top. Dealing with the guys is a trial in endurance, whether back home or here on this island paradise.If someone had told me that there was even one man out there like Colton Lyon, I would've laughed in their face. But from everything I've learned, there seems to be plenty, and they all happen to be here right this moment. Yeah us! Never a dull moment. As much as they think we're the sh*t starters, I'm pretty sure they cause their fair share of the drama that never seems to cease.Sometimes I think really hard about what my life would've been like had I never met Colt, and the thought makes me sick to my stomach. The fact that my life has been derailed from anything I ever imagined
the squad Chapter 49: Kat
"Right, the idiot boy that you swear is the best thing since sliced bread, and your daughter decided she wants to spend the rest of her life with is whipped as f*ck. He spent the last few days moaning and groaning about her wanting her dress from this place, and that's the only place that'll do. And since my kid wants what she wants, I have to get it for her.""The f*cking pandemic has made it damn near impossible to go anywhere, so the plans I was making to send you and your girls with her to England had to be squashed, so Mancini came up with a plan. I'd go as a surprise and take Caitlin's measurements with me since I'm not about to expose you or my kids to that sh*t .""Oh!" Oh sh*t . I tried smiling once the fear and anger subsided, but the look on his face did not bode well for my ass. He didn't say another word for about two minutes, and I was starting to sweat as I tried to remember all that I'd said in my anger. Then he leaned in close and got right in my face until I could
the squad Chapter 50: Roxy
I needed to get away from Jason so that I could think clearly. His words and actions are confusing, to say the least, since any kind of real relationship has never been in the works for me. In all the time I've been on the run, that's the one thing I never thought of. In fact, I've pretty much resigned myself to the idea of either dying young or spending the rest of my life behind bars after I've taken care of everything that I need to.Today I'd made it halfway there and am now way ahead of schedule. I thought for sure it would take me a much longer time to find Cierra Stone, the one that got away. I told her the bare bones of how I came to know of her, but I didn't share the fact that she'd become a kind of obsession for me. Or that it was she in a roundabout way that had given me hope of escaping the life that had been foisted upon me.I first overheard the name Cierra Stone one drunken night when I was in my early teens. By then, my captors had felt safe enough to let their gua
the squad Chapter 51: Roxy
By then, I was thirteen years old, and it had been five long years since I'd been taken. I was the only kid in the room lying back against one of the overstuffed cushions they had strewn around on the floor as they got high. Maybe they forgot that I was there, or maybe they just didn't care since I was nothing to them anyway. I'd been so beaten down by then, at least in their eyes, that they saw me as nothing more than a mindless object, something that was there for their pleasure and enjoyment.They started reminiscing, and that conversation led to Cierra Stone and how they'd missed that one. I have no idea why my mind decided to latch onto that, but it did. Someone had escaped them, not the same, but it was enough to spark a flame inside me. I listened to everything that day, sucking it all up as I imagined this person like me, who'd been lucky enough to escape their clutches. She became my obsession and my hope.For the next five years, I played them for fools. Though schooling
the squad Chapter 52: Roxy
I felt a little sick at what I was about to do, which in itself is saying a lot, but it had to be done. There's no way I'll ever fit in here, and the sooner they learn that, the better, especially Jason. I'm not one of them and never will be. There are kids here, and I'm sure if they knew half of what my life was like, they wouldn't want me around their precious children; I know I wouldn't.I've seen and done too much ever to hope to fit into polite society. So even though I felt close to tears at the thought of what might've been had my life not been derailed, I still carried through. First, I found the two teenage boys I'd seen hanging around, checking me out as any hormonal teenager would. I wasn't feeling brave enough to approach one of the husbands directly. That felt like too much of a betrayal.Still, I sent the boys away after they gave me what I wanted, though, in the back of my mind, I was pretty sure they'd hang around somehow. That couldn't be helped and may even help w

Why do I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop in this place? I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole, but I've never done drugs, not willingly at least, and not since the ones that had been foisted on me to keep me in line came to an end with my escape. Yet, it feels like I've lived ten lifetimes in the few days I've been here.I'm warily cautious of accepting both Jason and the doctor's words that I'm pregnant, but he seems so sure. Even the way he touched me just now was different, so there's no doubt that he believes his own words. I don't feel any different, obviously, since we'd only just started having sex, and as far as I know, it would be way too early to tell. But if I add up all the strange things that have transpired in the last few days, I guess this would fit right in."How are you feeling?" Mr. Lyon drew my attention from watching Jason's retreating back."I'm fine; why does everyone keep asking me that?""The longer you're here, the more you'll come to re
the squad Chapter 85: Jason
Roxana was grumpy and fretful after the doctor left, and I knew most of it was due to the fact that I'd kept her up all night and into the early morning, plus the added excitement of the last few hours. Still, I had to fight her to stay in bed, which she did only after I manhandled her stubborn ass into compliance. I learned a neat new trick in the meantime and feel no shame in using that sh*t to my advantage going forward.It seems like as much as she wants to deny both mine and the doctor's assumption that she's pregnant, the mere possibility has put her in a bind. The very mention of her needing to rest because of her condition, something I have no idea about, to be honest, was enough to make her settle down and do as she's told.Since it was my first time seeing an obedient Roxana, I'm not yet a hundred percent sure that it wasn't a fluke, but I can't wait to test it out. Now I find myself looking back at her every few minutes from my place at the desk where I was once again go

I looked up at the wall where he'd hung my family crest along with the others, still not used to the idea that some ancestor of mine was a sellout who'd saved some asshole king that was probably not worth it. I'd threatened my kids with death if they spread this sh*t , but I know it won't last. It's only a matter of time before I have to deal with their mother and her sh*t ."Turn it off, Lyon." I hit the off switch, and we were treated to the women's laughter as they congratulated themselves on getting one over on us again. Then they started their sh*t again."Where did you say this person is? What prison?""California City Correctional, why?""No reason! As you said, you're a FED, not much you can do. Why are we talking about this anyway? I thought we were discussing Roxy's thing." Flanagan got restless in his seat as his wife's words came through the speaker."What is it?" I asked, but he just gritted his teeth and shook his head."She's up to something; she changed the

"Kat, that was a very impressive sigh; what's up?""Nothing much; I'm just wondering where I can get a pregnancy test on this island.""Why don't you have one of the million doctors they have running around here take a look?""Have you met my husband, Cierra? He'd have to vet that poor person for a week before he'd let that happen. Besides, that's not why I'm sighing. I'm almost certain that I am anyway I don't need confirmation.""Then why the sigh?""I just realized that since we got married, I'm either always pregnant or has just given birth.""So? I thought you loved having kids." "It's not that; I do love having babies, it's just… it's been a while since I've had a good spanking." There was a lot of hooting and hollering followed by a chorus of agreement from the other women, and that's when I turned the screen off. "For f*ck sake!" The other men in the room started laughing their idiot heads off like they hadn't heard their women jumping on the bandwagon with my

"Geez, I need to sit down." I did, but I didn't, so I watched for a little while longer until the two of them headed in the direction of the stables. It was almost half an hour later when I intercepted Catalina on her way to the lab. "Hey, kiddo, how's it going?""Uncle Hank." She ran over and wrapped her arms around my thighs."Hi uncle Hank, did the plane leave yet?""He's almost ready, I wanted to talk to you about that, but there's something else I wanted to talk to you about first. Catalina, those words you gave the senator, where did you hear that song?""Grandpa always listens to that stuff when he's doing one of his experiments."What experiments?""With the grow.""You…""Don't worry, uncle Hank; I've never seen grandpa smoking before; he always goes into the other room.""If you haven't seen him, how do you know that that's what he's doing?" She gave me a look that made me feel stupid. "Sorry I asked." I waited a couple beats before carrying on."Catalina
the squad Chapter 81: Mancini
In the room around me, the men were going over plans for the next few days. Lyon was adamant that he would have the information out of Roxana by then, and I'd already got the specs on the place on the Hudson so that we could synchronize a hit.It hadn't been hard because the idiots, either to be funny or in a show of arrogance, had chosen to use a place that had been used for the same vice in history. The house, or rather mansion, was on the historical society list, which meant getting the blueprints and other pertinent information had been a breeze.It's also a known fact that a lot of these homes that were built by the wealthy during a certain time period in the country's history had a lot of hidden pockets that didn't show up on paper. I have the historical research team working on that as we speak. Since this place is so close to the water, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an underground network of some kind running from the mansion to the river.Since the SEALs had run i

When she covered her tummy with her hand, I covered hers with mine, and we both held the place where I was sure my seed had taken root inside her. "Jason?" I don't think I've ever heard her voice sound so thin and afraid. I wasn't expecting fear. Anger sure, annoyance, any of those things I could've dealt with, but the sound of fear in my otherwise fearless beauty was almost too much for me to bear."What is it, love?" I had to clear my throat a time or two to remove the frogs."I don't know anything about babies. I wasn't going to stay here. What am I going to do?" I got the feeling that that last was more to herself than me, so I concentrated on the rest of what she said. I imagine that, like me, she was thinking about all that she'd been through and worrying about bringing a child into a world where such things were possible, so I went with that first."We'll learn everything we need to to make sure that the little one is safe and happy. I've helped raise my nieces and nephews

Now all those times I'd seen them with a kid strapped onto their chests since we've been here was starting to make sense. I've seen my brother with his kids, of course, but never knew that there were others like him. Now I see why these rough and tumble men were so soft when it came to their wives and kids.When they're yours, your woman, your blood, it changes everything. I feel such a strong sense of protection already for both of them. "I have to get back to her, but I'm going to need a new workspace; I'm not doing any of this around her after today. Mr. Lyon, sir, whatever you're going to do to get her to give you the information, please do it quickly.""Mister? Sir?" The guy is a real grump, like his dad said earlier. I don't know what came over me. Maybe I was overly excited about the baby, but I'd heard him threaten death and mayhem to anyone who said the next words that came out of my mouth, and it still didn't stop me. "I'm sorry, your highness." The room erupted with laug

No sooner had the word left my lips than the women descended like sharks scenting blood in the water. I didn't think I'd spoken that loud, and where the hell did they come from. "Are you sure, Jason?" My brother asked from behind me, and I nodded. I know it's stupid, and I can't explain it, but I know that she's carrying my seed, which is all it is at this point.There was a fire starting under my palm, a kind of electric buzz running up my arm where we touched. My head spun with emotion, and I felt the connection deep. Like something inside her, my son or daughter, holding me there by her side. I caught her when she faltered, her eyes never leaving mine. "Pregnant?" The word was a mere whisper from her lips, and I nodded, too choked up for words.I picked her up while she was still in a daze and less apt to strike. "Ash!" I looked around for my sister and saw a line of women watching us with smiles on their faces. "You and the others follow me." I haven't the first clue what to d
