Page 25 of Protecting His Woman
Next to The Lords, he saw Frank, and he knew that upset Vicki.However, as part of his rules, he could not interfere if a civilian willingly started to look into joining one of the families.That path was up to them, and he wasn’t going to do anything about it.Joining The Lords would not be easy.
Among the families, Damion most hated The Lords.They bent the rules.They didn’t outright break them, but it was close, and they were always trying to find loopholes.He knew people ended up dead, and they had a way of hiding it.Damion always watched his back when they were close, and as he looked in their direction now, he saw they were watching him.They were up to something, but he didn’t know what?He wasn’t afraid of them, not even a bit.
Vicki clapped her hands, which drew his attention.Betsy had bounced and done a spin in the air.Being with Vicki, hanging out with her siblings, and seeing how she took care of them, he knew without a shadow of a doubt she would be an amazing mother.
Damion had never wanted kids.And yet, he thought about Vicki pregnant with his kid, and that thought made his dick incredibly hard.Looking at her now, he wanted her, craved her, but he had kept his word.They were not moving faster than she was prepared to go.
“She loves this,” Vicki said, moving closer to him.
He wrapped his arms around her, and as he did so, he looked toward The Lords and noticed Frank was moving away from them and heading to the bathroom.
“I’ll be right back,” he said.
Vicki nodded and Damion headed in the same direction as Frank.No one stopped him, and he nodded at the locals who said hello to him.It was all about playing the role, and as he entered the bathroom, he took note that no one else was there.He leaned up against the sink and waited.Seconds later, Frank stepped out, and the moment he saw him, he jumped.
“Damion, dude, you scared me.”
“What is there to be scared of?”
“Are you fucking following me?”
He smiled.“I may be dating your sister, but watch your fucking language.You will treat me with respect, or you’ll face the consequences.”There was no way he was going to accept being spoken to that way.
Frank’s jaw clenched, and Damion caught him clenching his hands into fists.“Isn’t this breaking the rules?”
“So, you know the rules, that is good to know.I’m not here to stop you on whatever path you choose to take.That is up to you, however, what I will say is if you are asked to do something you don’t think you can do, come to me.”
“Dude, I don’t know who the fuck you are—”
Damion wrapped his fingers around Frank’s neck.“You may be old enough to stick your dick inside any willing pussy.You may be old enough to father children and join any family you wish.However, boy, you are still that, and if you keep talking like that, regardless of you being Vicki’s brother, I will end you.I’m giving you an option.It is up to you if you decide to take it.I know The Lords.I know what they are capable of.Be careful.”
And with that, he let go of Frank’s neck, and the kid fell to the floor, gasping for breath.It was the one and only warning he was going to give him.The rest was now up to him.
He stepped outside of the bathroom as his cell phone beeped.Damion was not in the mood for bad shit to happen today.He pulled out his cell phone, and it was like wondering what the results would be had magically made them appear.Vicki was in fact Neil’s biological daughter.
Well, fuck.
****
Vicki once again satin the diner, opposite Neil, and waited.Damion had told them both the news, that they were in fact father and daughter.He had also opted to give them some space.She looked over at her dad and didn’t know what to say.
“Did you try the chili on Claire’s stand?”she asked.
“Yeah, it was spicy this year.I swear, she tries every year to make it spicier than the year before.”
She nodded her agreement, then she didn’t have a clue what to say.
“Look, I honestly didn’t know,” Neil said.“Your mother, she was fucking everyone and everything.”
Vicki held her hands up.“You don’t have to say anything.It’s fine.”
“No, it’s not fine.Nothing about this is fine.I mean, I knew there was a chance you were mine.”He shook his head, running a hand down his face.“I’m kind of blown away by this news.”He suddenly reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out an envelope.“I want you to have this.”
Vicki took the envelope he slid across the table, and looked inside to see a lot of money.She shook her head and moved it back toward him.“You don’t have to do this.”
“I wasn’t there to help, and I know you’ve had it rough.Annette is not exactly a good woman.”
In that moment, Vicki couldn’t help but feel a little curious about her mother, only another part of her didn’t want to know what was happening to her.
