“Zip it, twinkle tits. The only reason you have your membership in this godforsaken shit show is because of me. Lord knows it’s not because of that asshole you slummed it with or Bob. Young man, what’s going on with my granddaughter?”
“Ma’am?” the four said at the same time.
“Sorry, let me introduce myself, I’m this twat’s mother, Jeannette O’Reiley. I just got back to the states after spending the last several years in Europe. Now that we have that out of the way, what is going on with my granddaughter? Obviously, something has happened to her, or she would be here herself or my grandson would be suffering this one’s wrath.”
“Ah, you’re the one Laura and Dom call grandma Jean.” Diesel smirked at the older woman as she reached out to help her stand.
“That I am, young lady. Nice color in your hair. Looks good on you. Love the photos you have painted on your arm. I’ll come with and make sure my biggest disappointment cooperates with you all.”
“I have her, lass. It’s nice to finally meet ye, Ms. O’Reiley. I am Joe, or ye can call me Highlander like the others do.”
“Son, your mother, lord bless her poor vagina for giving birth to one as big as you are, saw fit to name you Joseph. I will not dismiss your mother’s hard work and call you what others have chosen to call you. Joe it will be unless you piss me off and I call you whatever I see fit in that moment.”
Highlander couldn’t help but chuckle at the spirited woman that he knew his lass loved. While the woman wasn’t in their lives much growing up because of their father, theirgrandmother did her best with the children as she could from afar. Dom and Laura thought the world of this woman.
“Aye, ma’am. I will do my best to stay in ye good graces. I know Dom will be happy to know ye are home. Cody, Willy, Ryleigh, and Aurora will be glad to finally meet ye as well.”
“Ah, how are my great grandbabies? I bet they are growing like weeds!”
Diesel, Raso, Wolf, and Highlander couldn’t help but notice the bright smile the older woman had asking about the four children Laura had given birth to. That was going to cause another black cloud that has Highlander scorching the earth. Cyrus was a dead man walking for sure.
CHAPTER SIX
Laura woke with a start when she felt ice cold water being thrown in her face. Jumping up as best as she could, she shook her head to clear the water out of her face. Using her hands, she wiped her hair from her face and cursed up a storm when every muscle in her body hurt like a bitch.
“Ah, good. You’re awake. We can finally get started. Bruce, get her prepped. I want to enjoy making her scream properly.”
Laura looked toward the voice that sounded muffled since her hearing aids were now ruined thanks to the water they threw at them. Maybe they will start working again once they have dried out. Who knows.
“Who the fuck are you?” Laura croaked as she watched the figure move around the room, wiping his hands.
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes, even that shit was painful, when he put a dramatic hand to his chest as if she wounded him. Yeah, she’s already figured out who it was just from that.
“Why, sister dear, you wound me! Oh, that’s right, you never met me because your whore of a mother refused to allow me to be a part of the family. So, let me introduce myself, I’m your brother, from another mother…”
“Really? That’s the best line you have for introducing yourself?” Laura rolled her eyes when the man stopped and started cracking up at his own joke.
“Well, technically I am. You see, we share the same…oh wait. We don’t. We don’t share the same sperm donor. You’re a product of your mother’s affair, just like I’m a product of my father’s affair.”
Laura was startled at the statement that Cyrus had just made. He was trying to get under her skin and cause her to act out so he could excuse his actions against her.
“Is that the best you can come up with? Wow! A kindergartner can come up with better bullshit than that. Just do whatever it is you’re going to do and get it over with. Would hate for you to waste a trip to beat me up only to kill me with boredom from your bullshit stories.”
Laura couldn’t help but scream out when she was hoisted into the air by her wrists. She had failed to realize that her hands had been hooked to a meat hook until it was too late. When she was pulled to a standing position and left to stand on the tip of her toes, she knew she was fucked, and not in a good way.
She watched as Cyrus nodded at the man who attached her to the meat hook before taking his seat in the chair, continuing to wipe his hands. Dude must have a germ phobia or something.
When she felt her shirt start to give way, she realized that Cyrus had given the order to have her clothes removed from her body. She was seriously going to kick his balls into his fucking eye sockets if she was ever able to get loose. Especially when he started laughing when she started struggling to stop the henchfucker from tearing all of her clothes off.
“Struggle all you wish, sister dear. The results will be the same. Either be tired or conserve your strength and face me. Makes no difference to me.”
Laura couldn’t help but laugh at his statement. “You’re a real comedian, aren’t you, Cyrus?”
SMACK
“God, I have been wanting to do that for years!” Cyrus huffed after smacking Laura across the face, hard, drawing blood.
Laura licked the side of her lip where blood was pooling after the smack to her face. She tilted her head to the side, hearing a crack then tilted her head to the other side, hearing another crack. She wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of a reaction.
