And if either one made Lu cry… I didn’t give a damn if they were her parents. The sharks would be getting another meal.
“Mama’sjust…expressing her unhappiness that we’re back together.”
I snorted. Her mom could be pissed all she wanted. It wasn’t changing anything. My baby was in Lu’s belly and my ring was permanently staying on her finger.
“Wonder what your preciousmamawould say if she knew how I have you spread open for all to see as I finger you for hours?”
Lu’s body shivered, despite the heat from the bonfire. As far as either of us knew, Lu’s parents knew nothing about our porn business or Lu starring in the productions. “My dad would murder you and my mom would pour holy water on your corpse.”
I chuckled darkly. “Yourmakuakanecouldtryto kill me.”
She crinkled her nose. “I know I was the one to make the joke, but please don’t say things like that, Aloiki. I really needyou to get along with them, especially now. They’re going to want to be in their grandbaby’s life.”
“If they behave.” I was not budging on this. Lu’s and my son’s well-being was worth more to me than her parents’ desires or opinions.
Lu made a face but didn’t argue. “Right now, it’s wedding stuff.Mamastill wants us to get married in her church.”
“Didn’t we cover this the first time around?”
Lu’s mom was born in Hawai‘i, but her family was Baptist. Her father was Polynesian and converted to marry Lu’s mom. Which was something her father never let her mother forget. Lu had been baptized as a preteen, but she was not Baptist. Like me, she wasKanaka Maoliand followed the spirits of our homeland.
Her mother could certainly book our wedding in her church, but neither of us would show up for it. When Lu was sixteen, she refused to attend church anymore, her own beliefs differing from that of her mother’s church.
Lu’s mother had tried everything from guilt to pleading for her soul, but Lu had never stepped back inside. Per Lu, her mom claimed she’d broken her heart.
Now, ifLuwanted to get married in a church, any church, I’d be there. But like hell were either of us suffering through a religious service that meant nothing to us just to appease her mother. Fuck that shit.
“I still say that we can have Lucifer marry us in private. No one has to know.” I bit her ear lobe, pulling it between my teeth. Her walls tightened around my fingers, so I stopped moving them. I didn’t want her coming yet, and when she did so, it would be on my cock. Today was the first day that Lu hadn’t taken her Pill since getting them, but I had no intention of wearing a condom. Even if the test was a false positive, now that the idea of a baby with Lu was planted in my head, I was going to make it a reality.
Though there was not a doubt in my mind that shewaspregnant.
With her head tipped slightly, I could see her biting her lower lip. “It’s tempting, Aloiki. So fucking tempting. But we have time, at least another couple of months before I start showing. I need to wait. I just… I need to know something,anything, before I do this without her.”
I lowered my head to kiss her shoulder. “I’m working on it. I have other Chapters working on it. We’ll find her, baby. I hope for her sake it’s sooner than later, but I swear, we will find her.”
Neither of us mentioned Nishi’s more than likely condition when we did. Drugs were used to keep trafficking victims under control. Beyond being raped, victims were often starved, beaten, and kept in less than ideal locations. The ones we found in Amsterdam were being kept in a room above a crack house. The place was sweltering with no ventilation or filtration, and all thirty women had a shared bucket in the corner of the room that served as their bathroom.
More than one was pregnant.
In cases when a trafficked woman wasn’t killed for falling pregnant, they are often forced to carry the baby to term—only to have their infant ripped from their arms and entered into an adoption scheme.
There was also a high probability that Nishi was already dead. She’d been taken three weeks before I knew about it to even start an investigation into her disappearance. The police had been less than helpful when Lu had gone to them to report Nishi missing. While I could understand her desire to help her best friend, it still pissed me off that Lu had not come to me, regardless of our relationship status, and had put her own life in danger instead.
Speaking of the police, two black and whites pulled into the lot. Four officers got out, three in uniform and one in a slicksuit. Kayl had always been fashionable, even as a teenager. Me? I preferredlessclothing, and if I ever paid more than ten dollars for a pair of shorts, Tangaloa had my permission to have me committed.
The officers in uniform started to mingle around. They were well known around these parts. Yooko, and now my club, paid them to keep their mouths shut and their eyes averted. Kayl, however, headed towards me. He tossed Tangaloa a shaka from across the bonfire. Tangaloa looked like shit, but he was here. At the moment, he was sitting outside one of the trucks with his pants undone and a Club Cunt sucking him off. Maybe my advice about fucking his heartbreak out of his system wasn’t so bad after all.
Though, he looked bored as fuck. But that could be the piece of ass wasn’t very skilled. There was plenty of willing around. If shewasthe problem, then he needed to find someone better to get him out of his head.
Kayl approached the hood of the truck where Lu and I were seated. He laid his forearms on the edge and gave Lu an appreciative smile. Years ago, Kayl had approached me about joining Lu and I in bed, but I declined him. I knew my friend, and Kayl would not be satisfied with just once. Like me, he got off on power, and I sure as hell was not going to give him any in regard to Lu. He was pissed, but understood.
And just to make sure there were no hard feelings, I gifted him a weekend with three of my cam girls who were more than willing to do anything he asked. All was forgiven.
“You know,” Kayl said with a crooked smile, “if you’re going to have a massively illegal sex party outdoors with booze and drugs, youmightnot want to build a bonfire that can be seen from outer space.”
I cracked a smile. “Life’s no fun without some risk.” I leaned around Lu to shake his hand.Notthe one I had currently insideher. “Besides, I don’t allow drugs at my parties.” Not the hard stuff, at least.
Kayl gave me a doubtful expression, then turned and looked pointedly at the bonfire where a very obvious drug deal was going on. I immediately caught the attention of my closest member, which happened to be one of the twins, and pointed out the buy. The twin moved in, and immediately handled the situation. He broke the hand of the dealer, pocketed all the money he had on him, and tossed his stash in the flames.
