“Can we get out of here? I need to get home to my kid.”
“Sure, you two can get out of here. She’ll be in the hospital until the cops from Phoenix come to collect her I guess. We’ll have to wait and see what happens there. Sometimes these things can drag on forever. But when they’re done with her there, it will be our turn, unless the D.A decides not to pursue it. She killed a witness in the process of a case. She can get the death penalty for that.”
“Good, I hope they fry the bitch, let’s go Angel. And the next time I tell you people something’s off, maybe you’ll listen to me.”
“Okay son, you were right. I should’ve listened, but I didn’t have much to work with and we have to go by the book.”
“Yeah, fucking around with that book almost cost you your daughter and granddaughter, no thanks.”
I took my girl and headed out of the station. It was already turning dark out and everything was quiet. Tomorrow was the big day and the streets were lit up with decorations. People had their lawns and homes decorated like they were in competition with each other for most lights and there was music coming from some houses that were getting the festivities started early. I was tired as shit, but all I wanted to do was go home and wake my daughter up if she was already in bed and kiss her all over her little face.
Kat and I held hands all the way home with me kissing her fingers every time we stopped for a light.
“I’m sorry I doubted you Colt. That will never happen again. And I’m sorry about earlier. I should’ve listened even if I thought Carol was in trouble.”
“Don’t’ worry about it anymore baby, it’s done. Let’s just put that shit behind us and enjoy what’s left of the holiday.” She rested her head on my shoulder, her hand still caught in mine. I know it won’t be long before she was doing some stupid fuck thing again to make me crazy but that’s just my Angel.
We turned onto our street and got a shock.
“What the fuck?”
There were a ton of bikes and trucks lined up from the driveway to halfway down the block. The part of my crew that had followed us to the station were behind us, so this could only mean that someone had called the others. It looked like the whole of Lyon’s Crew was at the house. I guess I wasn’t going to get that quiet evening alone with my girls after all, but I couldn’t turn my people away. They were here to show their support, it’s what we do. When shit gets rough we band together.
We walked in the house to see the whole crew plus Travis and his guys spread out across the living room. Mom was seated on the couch with my little pyromaniac in her arms gazing at the fire. There was food and drinks from somewhere. I’m guessing the sisters had pulled that shit together or Elena’s hen pack had been hard at work. I saw a few of them there including Char and Tina. What the fuck had she done put out a bulletin?
“What’s going on?” I asked the room at large.
“We heard. Why didn’t you call me bro?” Travis came over to clap me on the back and whispered some shit in my ear which I didn’t quite get because my head was still fucked.
“No time. Everything happened too fast.”
Jared came forward then to finally hug his little sister until I pushed him the fuck away. The only man I liked that close to her was…no one fuck. He grinned at me before throwing his arm over her shoulder farther inciting my ire the fuck.
“So, do we know who she is yet?” I guess he was somewhat calm now because he didn’t have that death glare working anymore. Shit had to be tough on him too. Cy was in the corner talking to some of the guys and I could already see he looked more relaxed. It looked like everyone was here.
“Later, I need my daughter. I’ll tell you guys what we learned in a minute.” Kat was already yakking away with Travis’s girl Lydia like she hadn’t just been through hell. My sister Carol was talking a mile a minute and I didn’t hear half the shit she said. Everyone wanted to know what the fuck was going on. Kevin and Tony the two guys who’d been on Rachel were all torn the fuck up because they thought I was going to tear them a new one which I should, but I just wasn’t feeling it. There’d been more than enough anger and bullshit caused by that quack and she wasn’t about to get anymore. That shit was dead.
“We’re sorry boss, we never even saw her give us the slip, and by the time we tracked back to the apartment, it was too late. We fucked up.”
“Don’t sweat it. She didn’t look like herself when she showed up here. She was wearing an old black and grey wig. I probably wouldn’t have recognized her either. Lets put it away for now, alright?”
I made the rounds, saying hello to my crew, some of whom I hadn’t seen in a minute. When things had calmed down a little, I told my guys all we’d learned about who she was. Those who knew what had gone down in Arizona, knew what I was talking about and the rest didn’t need to know any more than she was some nut job who’d fixated on Kat from her time living in Arizona. I don’t know how much Drake was going to share with Tina but that was his deal. I made sure my guys knew we were in the clear. I didn’t want that shit hanging over their heads to fuck with them.
My phone rang in my pocket. I’m glad I didn’t have to leave the shit in the evidence room because it had all my shit in there. They just downloaded the recording and gave me my shit back.
“Yo.”
“Colt, where are you?”
“Home why?”
“Rachel Chappell is dead. Someone went into her room and slipped her something.”
“Don’t you have guys on her?”
“Yes, they’re checking the security tapes right now. The only people in and out of the room were medical personnel.”
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my guys because they wouldn’t have made that play without my say so no matter how pissed they’d been.
“Well, I was at your station so I don’t know anything about it.”
Travis caught my eye across the room and I had a feeling that that’s what his whispered message had been about.
“I have a full house here Drake. Let me talk to you later. Yeah, your wife’s here, I’ll see you in a bit then.”
Travis inclined his head towards the back, so I gave Kat a kiss, went over and kissed my daughter’s head and my mother’s cheek before heading for the kitchen.
“You heard?”
“It was you?”
“You were in a tight spot bro. Your father in law is the law and shit, somebody needed to make that bitch dead. I don’t trust the justice system worth shit, they’d probably claim she’s nuts and set her up in some padded room somewhere and with her family connections, she’d be out in six months. You and your family would be looking over your shoulders for the rest of your lives. That shit’s fucked.”
“How did you know?”
“Pops got a call. You know he likes to know what’s going on around him, paranoid fuck. He was going to do it but I told him I’d take care of it. It goes without saying. We never speak of this shit again.”
“Thanks bro. I was trying to figure out how the fuck I was going to get to her. I couldn’t do her in front of my wife and kid.”
“I know it, but like I said, you’re too close to this one.”
We hugged and slapped each other’s backs in friendship before heading back into the room with the others.
I decided not to say anything for now because the atmosphere had changed. Instead of everyone being somber and pensive, there was an air of merriment. Caitlin, who had been dozing off when I left the room, was reawakened by all the noise, so I took her and held her close while I exchanged small talk with my men. Dad broke out what looked like a pound of Kush and him and the other potheads headed for the back of the house.
“Damn dad how much shit do you have there?”
“It’s the holidays boy, your mother said I was allowed. I have the next few days off.” All I could do is shake my head.
The night turned into the weirdest Xmas eve I’d ever had in my life but I wouldn’t change it for anything. My family
was safe at least for now. Who knows what the fuck else was going to come at me next.
“Lift your leg Kat fuck.” I was balls deep but that didn’t feel deep enough. Her pussy was extra wet tonight. Maybe facing down a gun had given her a new lease on life. Whatever, it was I who was enjoying the shit out of it. Plus I think she had gotten too close to Daniel and his pipe because she was a little more loose than usual.
“I wanna get on top.”
“Shit, fine, but then I’m doing you from behind.” I flipped us around so she could do her thing. She was taking the dick kinda hard. Pulling up, and dropping back down at a fast pace. I was afraid she might hurt herself, so I held her hips tight trying to control her movements but she wasn’t having it. She dug her nails into my shoulders and worked her pussy around my dick like it was a gearshift.
“Fuck baby slow down.”
“No, I wanna cum. Make me cum.”
I wet two fingers in my mouth and pushed them into her ass. It’s the fastest way I know to get her off when she gets like this. She squeezed down hard on my cock as she came in a gush. As soon as she was done shaking and moaning I threw her off and got around behind her. Lifting her ass high so I could see the sweet pink of her pussy, I led my bobbing cock head back to her pussy opening and slid right in, not stopping until I was buried to the hilt once more.
“Grab the sheets baby, this is gonna be rough.” I plowed my cock into her hard as fuck making her screech. She pushed back against me so I know she wasn’t hurt. Her ass bounced from the force of my thrusts as I pulled her on and off my cock racing to the finish.
“Fuck Angel. I love the way your tight pussy grips me.” I spanked her ass hard a couple times while deep stroking her.
Oh yeah, my bad girl liked that. She creamed my cock for the third time as she tore the sheets and screamed into the mattress.
Fuck, my dick felt like it was about to explode; I came hard, long and aplenty. “Fuck Angel…shit.” My heart pounded in my chest as I rested across her back, both of us trying to catch our breaths. I turned us both onto our sides, my cock still buried inside her and held her close from behind. “I love you Colton.”
“Love you more baby.” I ended my words with a squeeze and settled down to sleep wrapped around her. For the first time in a long while, I felt true peace come over me as I drifted into slumber. The feel of her tiny frame almost buried beneath me was reassuring and the hand I placed over her lower stomach was hopeful.
KAT
Well crap, Colt had been right again after all. I hate when that happens. He doesn’t just come out and say ‘I told you so’ like us lesser mortals. Oh no with him it’s like being put before a firing squad and playing twenty questions at the same time. And I don’t dare roll my eyes either or there will be hell to pay. Thank goodness for that impromptu party last night. That sort of spared me so far from his tongue but I knew it was coming Xmas or not. Add the fact that his Caitie bear had been caught in the middle and the fireworks were going to be flying for sure. I wonder if feigning early pregnancy syndrome would get me off the hook. That was the only time I’d gotten any peace from him and his mess, then again that wasn’t entirely true either. He becomes a whole other special kind of crazy when I’m pregnant, crap. I looked down at his sleeping face, he looked so innocent. The way I imagine the son he swore he’d planted in me a few days ago would when he got here. I wouldn’t have him any other way though; all that tough caveman biker gruffness makes me feel safe in a way nothing else ever could. When he isn’t pounding away between my thighs, he’s standing between me and the rest of the world. I can’t believe that for one second I’d had any doubts about his love and devotion to me. No wonder he’d been so pissed that day. Looking back now at everything that had happened in the last few days, my body still warm from his and the feel of his seed on my inner thighs. I knew there was no way I would ever doubt his love for me again.
“Kat, what the fuck?”
His voice coming out of his sleeping form had me jumping so hard I almost fell off the bed.
“Colton…”
“You’ve been staring at me for damn near an hour already. Usually it lasts about ten minutes and I can get back to sleep. What the fuck are you planning now?”
“Nothing, I’m not planning anything I was just admiring my amazing husband.”
“My ass. Now you’ve already racked up a hell of a list of ass whipping worthy bullshit. Take your little ass to sleep and let me get some rest before you start your shit again. Your daughter’s gonna be up any minute now looking for shit to do.” He grabbed me and pulled me back down on the bed next to him, or more like beneath him. He went back to sleep but I wasn’t sleepy, I was wide awake the events of the last few days replaying in my mind. Dad had told me last night that someone had killed that girl in the hospital. I was sure it wasn’t Colt because he hadn’t left my sight since the incident but I wasn’t sure he hadn’t had someone else do it. If I asked him he’d just give me one of his looks and tell me some crap story like he’d done when that James guy burned himself up, so there was no point in asking. Whatever, I’m just glad that it was all over and I never had to think about it again. I do have to call Donna’s parents though and let them know what had really happened to their daughter. They’ll hear it soon enough from the cops I’m sure but I think I should still call them. I wasn’t sure which was worst, thinking all this time that she’d killed herself and being mad at her for it, or finding out she’d been murdered? Either way, she was still gone and there was nothing I could do about it, but it hurt. It felt new, like she’d just been taken from me all over again. Colt wouldn’t understand if I broke down because of my friend who’d been gone for all this time already. Someone I’d already mourned. He’d have a fit. I’ve come to realize that he only acts that way when it’s something he can’t control. The man does like to boss me around, even up to and including telling me what to think and feel. I’m sure he knows it doesn’t work that way but that doesn’t stop him. Like in the delivery room when he’d told me he wasn’t going to put up with no thirty-six hours of labor and I’d better get shit done in two hours tops. You gotta love him.
I better put it all away for now though. Colt was right, Caitlin was going to be up soon, and it was Xmas. If things didn’t go the way my husband saw it in his head, I don’t want to know what was going to happen. He’s obsessed with our daughter having the world’s most perfect Xmas. I snuggled closer to his warmth and closed my eyes, willing myself to sleep. Maybe I can get Colt to jump me again before the baby wakes up. It was my last thought before I drifted off with a smile.
Lyon
Chapter 17
It felt like I’d only just closed my eyes when it was time to get up again. Caitlin was making a racket and demanding attention. Her mom was asleep next to me not moving an inch, so it was daddy time. I slid out of bed after kissing my Angel on the head and went after my little tiger. “Morning princess, daddy’s here. You can stop it now.” She had that excited look in her eye like she knew today was a special day. I told them my baby was smart. She knew what was going on. I lifted her out of her crib and cleaned her up, before taking her back to my bathroom so I could get a little cleaned up myself, before heading downstairs for breakfast. Elena was taking care of Xmas dinner this year but Kat wanted to get over there early so she could help in the kitchen. Last year this time she was pregnant. Now we have our little one, and if I was right, there was another one in there already, so it was going to be all about my baby girl this year.
I fed her some cereal while having a cup of coffee. Each time the memory of yesterday tried to enter my head, I pushed it aside. There was no way. Today was Caitie bear’s day, and nothing, and no one was going to interfere with that shit. We sat in front of the tree with the fire lit and the music on low until her mom woke up about an hour later.
“You two are up early.”
“Seven o’clock on Xmas morning is not early for a kid babe.”
“Colt, she doesn�
��t know what day it is.”
“Of course she does, look at her she’s excited. Hurry up and get your coffee…wait no coffee for you. Get some juice and let’s get to her presents.”
“Why can’t I have coffee?”
“The other day remember? I nailed you.”
“So? He or she is like a pencil dot, a little coffee isn’t gonna hurt.”
“No coffee Angel. Hit the OJ and let’s get cracking.” I got my camera ready and set my little terror on the floor. I was recording the first Xmas family tradition for the Lyon family.
Caitlin was only too happy to tear into paper wrapping and go to town. She bypassed all the dollhouses and stuff animals in favor of the paper and the bows that came with the gifts.
“Your turn mama bear.”
Kat was just as excited as the baby when I gave her her special gift. Simon had outdone himself on her bracelet and necklace set. The stones were mine, hers and Caitie bear’s birthstones. He had them wrapped in strands of gold like a vine or some crap, fuck I know.
