Coming back to the present, I reign in the haze. Twisting my neck from side to side. With a smile, I look at Adam.
“At least I was able to see my daddy’s funeral. You’ll be on your route through a worm’s digestive track by the time we put Corbyn’s body in an early grave.”
The smile on Adam’s face falls. He charges at me while yelling. I shake my head as I take the beretta out of my second gun holster and put a bullet in his neck. He drops down right at my feet.
“Who the hell brings one gun to a shootout?” I ask no one in particular.
I swing around with my gun aimed as Beast walks into the sanctuary. He looks me over, then nods his head.
“We got a bloody scene in here. Zel, let the cleanup crew know to get it contained to the basement. We got nineteen bodies, one injured female and two other uninjured females,” Beast says.
Unlike the other times we hit the kids, we needed Corbyn to find this scene. However, we needed it to look like a simple hit.
“Roger that. Cleaning crew is on their way.”
Beast taps my chest. “Let’s go collect the money.”
We both head back down the stairs to gather the black duffle bags of money. Another one of Corbyn’s cum stains down. Five more to go.
chapter Thirty-four
It Hits
Seth
The car ride back to the ghost house was quiet. After letting Maksim and Many into the basement, we quickly loaded the money. I had intended to let the women live, but when one of them pulled a gun on Many. Beast took them all out. Maksim explained they were loyal to Adam and would have ran and told the first chance they got.
After showering in the downstairs bathroom, I make my way up to my bedroom with Malia. I was anxious to finally see her.
I push the door open. Malia is sitting up in bed reading a book.
“Hey, Luc, how was your…” her words die on her tongue when she looks up at me. “Seth.” The sound of my name coming off her lips has my cock immediately hardening.
“Hey, Candy Girl.”
Malia drops the book on the bed and rushes out of it. I have just enough time to open my arms right before she rushes into them. Her luscious lips seal to mine. I slip my tongue inside her mouth, dominating it as if it’s mine. I grip her ass in both my hands and squeeze.
Malia cups my face and pulls away from the kiss. Her eyes shine with her tears. Slowly, they spill over her lids and fall down her face.
“I thought you left me.”
Turning my head to the side slightly, I wrap my hand around her neck and use my thumb to lift her face. Our eyes connect.
“Don’t ever let that shit sit in your head. I’ll never leave you, Candy Girl.”
I hold her in place as I bring my lips back to hers. I shove my tongue into her mouth and bite down on her lip before sucking the plump flesh. She moans. Letting her neck go, I place my hand on the back of her thighs, lifting her up like a bride on her wedding day.
She wraps her arms around my neck, never taking her mouth from mine. I walk her over to the bed and lay her down. She’s wearing one of Lucien’s t-shirts and tiny underwear. Lifting her shirt, I place my hand over her round belly. Knowing my kid is in there has my chest filling with pride.
“It’s a boy,” she says sweetly. “You’re having a son.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”I ask Lucien in my head?
“Because I knew she wanted to be the first to tell you. Congratulations,”he says before quickly fading back into the background.
Pride swells my chest. Even though I didn’t care if the sex of the baby was a boy or girl, I still feel the elation of knowing we were having a son. A tiny version of Luc and I.
Moving my hands down her stomach to her mound, I keep my eyes on her. She’s so beautiful, it sometimes shocks the hell out of me that she’s with us.
