Half of them I’m taking away to protect from harm, and the other half I have to take to keep them from getting themselves in trouble. Since I was the one that waltzed with that she-beast. I’m going to be the only one to deal with her and the fallout.
Fuck, dad! There’s no way to get him to leave and no way to get him not to become involved. That’s why the trip. I’m hoping that if he sees I’m relaxed and not worried that he won’t do anything. But there’s no guarantee this shit’s going to work.
So, I have a lot of fires burning and a lot to put out. I feel like the damn puppet master, but that’s what comes from knowing the people around you. I let Track believe that I was calling his girl to talk him down, but there was another reason for that. One I’m not sure even he knows.
It’s all a miserable mix of confusion. If Valerie thinks Track would go after Mandy she’d try to get there first, to save him. That’s the way this one thinks too. So I have to get all their little asses out of here before shit goes down.
Belle and Tammy I’m not so worried about. They’d been suppressed by Mandy and her crew for so long I figure it would take them a while to ever feel powerful enough to face them down. Then again with this one in their corner I might be underestimating that shit.
It’s a balancing game I have to play. So in order to keep everyone safe, I’m just gonna take all the players out of the line of fire. I won the first round today and plan on winning all future rounds.
I’m going to hit that bitch where it hurts over and over, never giving her time to regroup in between hits. When I’m done she’s never going to get back up again. I’ve given some serious thought to killing her ass outright, I’m not going to lie. But I’m sure Sian would not approve. Her nosy ass!

I rolled her to her back ten minutes before dinner and slipped into her wet heat. Her eyes fluttered open on the third stroke. “Think good thoughts, this is going to be quick.”
Those legs and arms came around me and before I knew it I was being turned onto my back. She pulled my hands from where I had them protectively around her and led them to her breasts as she slid up and down my rod.
“Were you awake?” She had way too much energy for someone who’d just been awakened. She nodded and grinned at me the sneak and I pulled her down so I could put my mouth on her.
Instead of hard and fast she took us on another magical ride. One with sights and sounds and scents that were all her. And by the time I came, moaning into her mouth, we were about twenty minutes late.
We held hands and grinned on our way down the stairs after a rushed shower, until she remembered that her parents were at the dinner table and started to blush. Jared, gauging the situation right, decided to tease her.
I gave him the look and he barely restrained himself though he laughed like a lunatic. “Sorry we’re late. I made Sian take her pills after her shower and they knocked her out.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of her Jace. She’s already almost back to one hundred percent and I know it’s because you keep after her and keep her from doing too much too soon.” Her mom smiled across the table at me.
“No problem.” My ass! Sian is a pain in the ass when it comes to taking that shit. I’ve taken a mountain heap of abuse behind it, but her mom is right, it’s well worth it and it’s paying off.
The conversation was light and playful around the dinner table as we feasted on some gourmet meat dish mom’s chef had come up with. I spread my attention between Sian and Maggie who was trying to con another gift out of me.
“Speaking of which, the house should be ready in a few more days. Thanks a lot Chad that company you suggested really works wonders. Who’d imagine they could take care of that kind of damage in just a few short days?”
Her dad’s words penetrated the little conversation I was having with her and I tuned in.
“Don’t mention it.” Dad lifted his wine glass to his lips and they carried on talking about what more needed to be done before they could move back in.
I played it cool but the next few minutes could make or break the nice cozy relationship those two had built in the last few months. I wasn’t really expecting the worse, but you never know.
