“Mom, that’s rushing.” My mom was wise enough not to argue with me and merely shrugged. “I mean it. Leave my relationship with Joy alone. If I find out you’ve done anything to meddle in it, did something to manipulate her, I’ll be furious.”
Instead of responding, she fiddled with her ring, her tell that she was keeping something from me.
Something I wouldn’t like.
Praying for patience, I gritted out, “What did you do?”
She lifted her chin at me, the picture of defiance. “Nothing that will harm her.”
“Mother….”
Leo leaned forward and narrowed his eyes at my mom as she looked defiantly at me. “Just a small dose of D128, only enough to…distract her. Don’t worry, I was very precise.”
“What? You drugged her without my permission? Have you lost your mind?” I stood up from my chair and began to pace. “Fuck! God fucking damnit!”
My roar was loud enough to bring my father racing out onto the patio, dressed in a pair of black lounge pants and a clean white t-shirt that stretched over his still solid frame. “Ramón, what the hell is going on?”
“Mother,” I spat the word out. “Gave Joy D128 without my permission.”
My father’s eyebrows climbed up his forehead, then he turned on my suddenly meek mother as Leo stood and joined us.
“Judith,” my dad snapped. “Tell me you didn’t.”
My mom must be crazy. Even I knew that was my dad’s ‘super pissed’ tone of voice, yet she was indignant as she said, “It wasn’t much. Just a drop. Enough to make sure it works. Besides, she was sedated, so she’ll sleep most of it off.”
“You don’t know that for sure.” My dad said, running his hands through his mostly silver hair, frustration deepening his wrinkles. “You have no idea how it will affect her.”
Giving my dad an imperious look, my mom said, “I’m sure she’ll be fine.”
Leo spoke up from next to me, “Security just alerted me that Joy called a cab from her phone, and is trying to find a way out of the house.”
My dad laid a hand on my shoulder. “Go, find Joy. I’ll deal with your mother. I promise this will not happen again.”
They started fighting as I left, my mother sounding more petulant than apologetic, but I didn’t give a shit.
Joy was on D128, awake, and no doubt pissed.
Sure enough, my suspicions were confirmed when I found her tugging at one of the locked doors. As soon as I saw her, I made the motion to the security camera to go black. What I was about to do to this feisty little girl wasn’t for anyone’s eyes but my own. Wearing a pair of black yoga pants and what looked like one of my old t-shirts that reached almost to her shins, Joy gave the solid wood door leading to the garage a kick, then cursed as she hurt her toe.
I dropped to my knees beside her, drawing a startled scream from her as I grabbed her foot. She almost lost her balance, wind-milling with both arms before I caught her. Looking at her, I could tell she’d been crying, a lot, and I felt like such a bastard. I should have been with her today, but I couldn’t put off my responsibilities. Not with both Fernando and Leo out of commission. I was relying heavily on Mark and a few of my lieutenants to cover for my absent brothers, and we were stretched dangerously thin. Once things calmed down, I’d have to look into advancing men through the ranks that deserved more responsibility.
I had this sweet beauty in my life now, and I wanted to be able to spend as much time with her as I could, which meant cutting back at work.
Instead of feeling guilty, like I was letting my parents down, I felt a sense of relief settle through me as I let out a slow breath.
Her face was bare of any makeup, and her cheeks when red before she yelled, “Put me down!”
“No.”
She started to struggle, so I flipped her round ass over my shoulder in a fireman’s hold. Her shrill screams and foul name calling echoed through the house as I carried her. To my shock she took a good bite of my butt through my pants, so I gave hers a couple hard slaps in return. That turned her into a thrashing little wildcat. I told her if she didn’t settle down, I was going to paddle her ass but good.
By the time we got to my room, Joy was nearly incoherent with fury, a side effect of her body trying to process the D128 without a sexual outlet.
There would be no talking with her, no reasoning, until I gave her what her body so desperately needed.
My cock.
And let me tell you, my dick was more than ready to fuck this mouthy little girl into submission.
