“Tonight is not the night,” Jameson growls.
“Everyone just take a fucking chill pill. Jesus!” I demand, and Jade laughs.
“I think everyone is just wound up a little too tight. We all need a release.” She smirks, and the grunts of agreement flow through the vehicle.
“Are you sure you are up for that?” I ask her, and she rolls her eyes.
“She needs to be cleansed of the filth anyway.” Jameson adds, and she rounds him.
“I may have been raped, but your father is a lousy lay with his mediocre cock,” she says as the whole truck growls besides Ryder.
“Princess, there are just some things I'd rather not know about that bastard, but thank you!” he says, his tone calm.
“I’m just trying to lighten up the trauma, or maybe I’m just desensitized from everything that has happened to me. Do I feel dirty? 100%. Am I going to let this incident cause me to spiral again? Absolutely not,” she says, and I look at her in awe. She’s matured so much over the last couple of years; it's amazing to see but also sends a ping to my chest because I didn't get to witness it all.I missed so fucking much.
“Princess, how can you say that? My father hurt you; he violated you. This isn’t just him smacking you around; he literally stuck his dick in our wife,” Jameson yells. That cool and calm demeanor—long gone.
“He’s right, Jade!” Spade chimes in.
“Maybe if you both would shut up and let me finish!” she scolds, and I chuckle. “What I was going to say was—I’m not letting this cripple me like in the past. So instead, I’m going to channel all my anger and rage—it’s about to be hunting season, boys. Which brings me to my next suggestion,” she says, and Ryder laughs.
“You’re on a roll tonight, huh, sis,” he says, and she laughs.
“You can say that. We need a nanny. We can’t keep expecting Ophelia to take our kids when shit hits the fan,” she notes, and I nod because she’s right. They are our responsibility, and we need to learn to work together and figure out how to juggle the life we lead as parents and criminals.
“Hey, Ri, how many bedrooms does the new place have and where is it?” Spade asks, and a huge smile spreads across my face.
“I'd rather show you,” I reply as Jade removes the bottles from her nipples, dumping the milk into the bags. A little of that creamy goodness spills against her thigh, and I lick my lips. She clears her throat, catching me in the act.
“Well, I have a suggestion,” Spade interrupts, which makes Jade turn in her seat.
“Better hurry, we are almost to the clubhouse,” I inform as Jade puts her tits away, grabbing her holster and sliding it on.
“How would you feel about a live-in nanny?” he asks, and her head whips around so fast I thought she was going to break it with how quickly she moved.
“Excuse me?” she spits.
“Calm down, sugar tits. What if we hired O as the kids' nanny for the next ten years? We offer her a substantial amount of money to start with all the amenities,” he suggests, and that's not a half-bad idea. We trust her wholeheartedly, so we wouldn't have to interview anyone.
“There is a pool house on the property. It’s a 3-bedroom suite,” I tell them, and Spade’s eyes light up. Looking over at Jade, I make the last turn before arriving at the clubhouse.
“Do you think she would accept the offer?” Jameson asks, and Spade nods.
“What do you think, Babygirl? Could we hire her?” Spade asks as we all wait for the deciding factor. Jade abruptly spins in her seat, pulling Spade by his shirt and pressing her lips against his.
“Yes, let's do it!” she whispers as groans echo through the car.
“Alright, we’re here. Head in the fucking game!” I spit, and the car goes silent. Jade slides back into her seat, game face ready.
“Remember who the fuck we are!” she spits, straightening her posture as we pull through the gates. A chill snakes down my spine as the metallic clicks echo through the space, each one a promise of loyalty, love, and protection.
Getting out of the truck, Jade walks in front like the queen she is as we follow through the double doors of the clubhouse, showcasing our strength and power as it flows off of each one of us.
“Welcome, Ms. Rivers and lapdogs. I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
