All Chapters of the squad: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

After her bath, she was beat, so I pulled another one of my old tee-shirts on over her head and put her to bed. I climbed in and held her close until her breathing evened out and then waited for another five minutes, which I spent just watching her face in sleep.It was some time before I, too, fell asleep, the night's actions finally catching up with me. I'll tell her about the kid in the morning when she was more cognizant. It was the last thought I had before giving into slumber. I didn't spare the asshole I'd tossed a second thought because he wasn't worth it. If only all the others who'd hurt her could be that easy to get rid of. But she still hadn't given up the name of the town where she'd been held captive.I woke sometime later in the middle of the night with a raging hard-on and a need for her that ran deep. She was still fast asleep when I turned her from my arms onto her back and made my way down her middle to between her warm thighs. I pushed my shirt, which is the onl

All damn morning I've been thinking about this sh*t . From the time I woke up, it's been on my mind. I left the guys a while ago and am now hanging out on one of the upstairs balconies in this monstrosity, watching the sun play on the water in the distance. I saw the senator and his daughter walk in that direction a little while ago and could hear the drone of voices below. The nosy ass women are up to some sh*t .Kat's three youngest are crawling around on the floor out here with me getting into sh*t because apparently, any time I sit still for more than five seconds, it's an invitation to babysit. Her asshole delinquent sons had hightailed it somewhere, leaving me to deal with this sh*t like I didn't have enough on my mind.I heard movement behind me and turned my head around to see Caleb followed closely behind by his shadow. The kid is a little beauty, what's her name again? Tyler only calls her baby Zak which is cute as hell. She had a hold on my kids' hand, or he had one on h

Now I'm sitting here wondering if Catalina had taken all of this into consideration. On the one hand, I'm hoping she did, and on the other, it would be scary as sh*t if she did. I've known for some time that her mind is one of a kind. It's my reason for providing her with whatever she asks for in the past. But I have to be honest that I never thought her capable of a hit. Lyon knew, though, he always did.It's like I've told him; she is what he would've been had Char brought him in when he was younger, but without the training. Which means she's a natural. Now Lyon is insisting that we no longer end the men and women we bring down because of a promise he'd made to her, and I have no doubt, like him, that if we don't hold up our end, she will do it again. There go my dreams of a little mini assassin force.I closed my eyes with a smile and rested my head back on the chair as I let the sounds of the ocean creep in through the slightly opened window. Things were going much smoother th

What a strange few days I've had. Do they know? Are they all looking at me? Judging me? My eyes went to his sister and brother expecting to see looks of revulsion on their faces, but they weren't even looking at me. The women welcomed me with smiles and carried on talking like they weren't all dying to know what we'd been up to the day before or why he'd even waste his time with me.I half expected to be faced with accusations from at least some of them when we came up for air. It's one of the reasons I didn't deny him. Halfway through our sexual marathon, I'd made up my mind to take as much of him as I could get before the bubble burst. There was no use lying to myself; he'd climbed under my skin and placed himself smack dab in the center of my heart, a heart I thought long dead.But I knew it wouldn't last, not with my past. It was only a matter of time before he opened his eyes and accepted the truth, that I am damaged goods. And if he doesn't come to the realization himself, n

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
