“Damn, bitch made, she’s just going around the corner. You’re acting like she’s moving out of state or some fuck.” I just gave him a look but that never works with him. “Tell me brother, what do you plan to do when she goes back to school in a few weeks?”
“She’s not going back.” Another fucking headache!
“Say what now?” I could see the beginnings of a grin on his damn face. I knew he was goading me, but there was a bit of seriousness to his question. Fucking Lo or Con probably put him up to grilling me.
“She’s gonna enroll in the local college, that way she can be home everyday.” And I can keep what little mind I have left without worrying about her every second of the fucking day, what the fuck was he on?
“Does she know that?” If he laughs, swear to fuck, I’m gonna knock his teeth down his neck.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s what I want and it’s safest. Would you let Vicki leave?”
“Are you fuck stupid?”
“Well then.”
“But Vicky’s mine.” I knew what he was doing but played along. I knew it was only a matter of time before they came at me.
“And Susie belongs to me.”
“Oh shit.” He didn’t say anything else as we made our way to the job. The others pulled in behind us and when I caught his nod to Lo I knew what was coming. It had taken them long enough the nosy fucks.
Ever since we’d found out that she was the commander’s daughter, the guys’ attitude had changed. She was no longer just a friend, or even just the girl I was interested in. That alone made her special, being the CO’s kid multiplied that shit.
“Wait brother.” Con stopped me, as I was about to remove my tools from the back of the truck. My harsh sigh was the only indication that I knew what they were about. The others surrounded us so that we formed a half circle. The rest of the crew was either already here, and getting started, or now pulling in.
“So, Cord.”
“Lo…”
“This thing with you and Susie.”
“What about it?”
“Are you sure…?” It was a rare thing indeed for Lo not to have the words. It was a touchy subject after all and I knew the only reason he had the nerve to even pose it to me was because of who she was.
“What he means is, are you gonna do your whips and chains deal with her? Because I gotta tell ya, I don’t see you breaking that one.”
“Ty you ass that’s not what this is about. Who the fuck wants to break their woman?”
“All I’m saying is, she’s the commander’s kid, and from what we’ve seen so far she’s full of piss and vinegar. Comes by it honestly, just like her old man. I guess we just wanna know how you plan on going about bringing her to heel.”
“Are you fucks seriously standing here asking me how I plan to take my woman?” I was pretty sure that wasn’t it, but I had to get some of my own back. They were acting like I was some sort of anomaly because I have a different way of doing things. Yes I’m a Dom; this is something they’ve all known for some time, because the six of them can’t keep their noses out of my shit and because there wasn’t much we didn’t know about each other.
Being as close as we have been and dealing with the shit we did as a team, there was no room for secrets. Each of us was pretty much well aware of what the other was made of. I don’t know why I would expect anything different in this situation, after all hadn’t I stepped in when Ty and his woman were having their thing just a short while ago?
It’s part of what we do, we look out for each other in all ways. But I had to be the one to have the misfortune of falling for the CO’s kid, which meant that these fucks were gonna be in my ass like an enema for the rest of my life. She’s practically the sister we never had, and each of them thinks they have a stake.
“We’re not asking that brother, it’s just, we know how you are, and she’s-well she’s the commander’s kid…”
“Con, what the fuck do you think I’m gonna do to her?”
“Er, I don’t want to be the one to bring it up, but we’ve all seen the dungeon.”
“It’s not a dungeon Dev you ass, it’s a playroom.”
“Don’t look very playful to me.” Quinn was fighting not to laugh.
“Look, are we here to work or gossip? Because I have a fuck load of shit I could be doing back at the house.”
“Don’t get snappy, we just wanted to be sure, we know how… I’m sorry but I have to ask. Does she know what you’re into?” If anyone else asked me that shit I’d have knocked them on their ass already, but because it was Con and because I knew where he was coming from, I gave him that one.
“Yes!” Fucking Ty shook his head and walked away whistling. I should never have told them about my preferences, but one drunken night mixed with a little melancholy and I’d spilled it all. Now it was coming back to bite me in the ass because I know how they are. I’m never gonna hear the end of this shit.
At least it worked to take our minds off of things for a while, even though I can’t say I appreciate it being at my expense. Lo and Con had the good sense to keep their mouths shut, but I can’t say the same for the others. Thank fuck I was spared Zak’s input since he was left back at the compound with the women.
I called Susie every hour on the hour to make sure she was okay. Just hearing her voice helped to keep me leashed somewhat, but I knew one thing for damn sure, this was the last time I was letting her go anywhere where I couldn’t have eyes on her.
