Chapter Seventeen
Dani
Three weeks later…
“One more day,” I say with a sigh and sit back on the couch in the main room.
N and Whisky laugh at my words.
“Doctors appointment tomorrow?” N asks.
I nod my head. “Yeah, hopefully he will clear me. I feel fine now, but Zane won’t let me do anything until the doctor says it’s okay,” I say before letting out a dramatic sigh.
“Poor guy,” N whispers.
I look over at him in shock. “Poor guy? How is Zane a poor guy? He still gets to go out and do shit.”
N looks over at me with a smirk. “Well, he has probably been waiting to give you a hard fucking but can’t until the doctor clears you.”
I wink at him. “Well, he does owe me a spanking for checking out his dad.”
Whisky and N both burst out laughing. “I can’t believe you were checking out Brick,” Whisky rasps.
I shrug. “He’s a good-looking older man. I couldn’t help it. That was until Carmen threatened to gouge out my eyes if I kept doing it.”
Whisky hisses out a breath. “Yeah, that woman is the definition of possessive when it comes to Brick. She has every right to be since many women have tried to sway him through the years; though none have succeeded.”
“Oh, I could see the possessiveness in her eyes. I approve. I could see myself acting the same way,” I tell them.
“This one time, a club whore wouldn’t stop checking out and hitting on Brick. Carmen had enough of it and had taken a knife to the woman’s cheek. She told her that if she didn’t stop looking or talking to her man, she was going to scar her pretty little face up,” Whisky says laughing.
“Damn, I think I have a woman crush on her now,” I whisper in awe.
“Now that’s my woman. Don’t even think about it,” a deep voice says. I startle and turn to see Leon, also known as Brick, standing there with Carmen in his arms.
I smirk at Brick. “I’ll try to keep my hands to myself.”
“See that you do. I already know about you showing your tits to Ana,” he tells me.
“Hey, she wanted to see the piercings. Not that I wouldn’t hit on her if I was into women, but I think I will just stick with Zane,” I tell them with a wink.
“Who are you hitting on now?” Zeke asks me as he walks into the room with takeout for me, Whisky, and N.
“Carmen. I have a girl crush on her because she’s possessive of your dad,” I tell him while grabbing my food and digging in. I didn’t realise how starving I was until just now.
I barely pay attention to anyone as I stuff my face full of food.
It takes a few minutes, but then I notice that everyone is quiet.
I look up, and everyone is staring at me. It doesn’t help that my mouth is full of food and I have what I assume is sauce dripping down my chin from the burger in my hands.
“What?” my words are barely recognisable as I still have food in my mouth.
“I don’t know if I should be impressed or horrified,” Whisky whispers.
I chew my food quickly and narrow my eyes at him.
“Always impressed,” I tell him.
“How Zane still wants you after seeing you eat like a wild animal, I’ll never know,” Zeke teases.
I shrug my shoulders. “I like food,” I mutter.
“Clearly,” he says with a laugh.
“You have your doctor’s appointment tomorrow, right?” Zeke asks.
I nod my head. “Yeah, hopefully I get cleared. Then I can actually do shit,” I tell him.
“What about you, N?” Leon asks him.
“Another couple weeks, and then I should be in physio,” he tells us.
I spend a few more hours with them before heading back to my room.
I had gotten a package in the mail earlier. I was excited to open it. A bunch of lingerie was in the box.
Since I wasn’t able to go anywhere, I had done a lot of online shopping.
I was in the middle of trying it all on when the door to the bedroom opens and there is a sharp intake of breath before the door slams closed.
I turned around to see Zane looking at me with heat in his eyes.
“Fuck. You look fucking delicious,” he rasps.
“I was trying it on to see if it fits and if I like how it looks,” I tell him with an innocent shrug.
“I vote a ‘fuck yes’ on this one,” he says with his voice thick with lust.
I giggle at his words. “Alright.”
“How many more do you have to try on?” he asks me.
“I bought quite a bit,” I tell him.
“Well then you must try them all. We need to make sure they all fit,” he says quickly.
I chuckle at his words. “I don’t know. Maybe we need a second opinion,” I tease.
“Fuck no. No one gets to see you in this shit but me,” he spits out.
I shouldn’t like the possessive tone but, fuck, it just does something to me with the way he has claimed me.
I fall for this man harder every single day and, as scary as it seems, I’m here for it all.
Whatever he has to offer me; I want it.
He spends the next hour with me while I try on new lingerie sets. I would love to take this further, but I know he won’t do anything until I see my doctor tomorrow. In the meantime, it’s always fun to tease him.
I love the look he gives me when I bend over to grab a new set.
I have a feeling that we are going to be getting more, and my collection is going to become huge.
After I had tried everything on, we lay in bed watching Gilmore Girls while eating takeout that we had a prospect pick up.
Everything seems to be working out.
A part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that something bad is going to happen.
The only thing is, will I be strong enough to survive it?
Zane
The next morning, I am up early. To say that I was a bit excited to take Dani to the doctor is a bit of an understatement.
Fuck, I would love nothing more than to fuck her today. I’ve missed feeling her wrapped around my cock.
Then there was last night when she was trying on lingerie.
It was the sweetest torture.
She looked fucking sexy in everything she bought, and I imagined tearing off everything and giving in to fucking her, but I had to wait.
I head to the kitchen to grab some coffee while I let Dani sleep for a bit.
Mama, Ice, and Prez are in the room.
“What are you all doing up so early?” I ask while grabbing a coffee.
“I need to get breakfast ready for Dani. Today is a big day for her,” Mama says as she cuts up some potatoes.
“Oh, that’s right, the doctor’s appointment,” Ice says with a smirk on his face.
“That’s my daughter you are talking about,” Prez says, narrowing his eyes at Ice.
“Oh, I know. I was just going to say that I hope she has a clear bill of health,” Ice says nervously.
“She will. She has done everything that the doctor has asked of her. Plus, she’s a nurse; she probably has seen what happens when someone doesn’t listen to the care instructions,” Mama says with a dismissive wave.
“Plus, Rage here has been strict as fuck on her,” Ice says with a laugh.
“Fuck, I hope I don’t have to see her go through something like that again,” I tell them.
“Fucking rights, brother,” Prez says in agreement.
It doesn’t take long for the kitchen to start filling up with the smell of breakfast, which seems to bring everyone out.
Mama smacks everyone’s hands though. “Dani gets the first plate. It’s her special day,” Mama tells everyone.
“Brother, you better go wake Dani up before we start to get hangry,” Knuckles says with wide eyes.
I shake my head at the face he’s making.
“I’m already awake. It was just amusing to watch all of you try to outsmart Mama,” Dani says calmly from the hallway.
“The boys don’t think I have eyes in the back of my head. I see everything, I tell you!” Mama says while raising her wooden spoon in the air.
“All that’s missing is cackling and a cauldron,” Knuckles whispers quietly.
“Boy, you are lucky I’m not a witch or I would curse your dick to dry up and fall off,” Mama says dryly.
Everyone bursts out in laughter while Knuckles looks at Mama in horror.
“That’s just plain mean,” he says to her.
“You think that because I am old, I can’t hear; but my hearing is just fine,” Mama states.
Dani laughs as she makes her plate before sitting down beside me. Everyone rushes to make their plates while eyeing Mama but, when she doesn’t smack their hands with a wooden spoon, they seem to relax.
Mama hands me a plate piled with food and then gives one to Prez.
“Why do they get served?” Ice asks while looking at our heaping plates.
“Because they didn’t rush to the food like they haven’t eaten in weeks. They were waiting for you silly boys before getting theirs. I knew they would, which is why I put plates aside for them,” Mama says.
I smirk at Ice as he glares at me.
“Hey Mama, here’s the croissants you wanted,” Ana’s voice says when she walks into the kitchen with a couple of boxes in her arms.
Ice races up to help her with them, and she sighs in relief when they are out of her hands.
“Thanks. I thought for sure I was going to drop them,” she says.
“No problem,” he says before walking back to his seat.
“Oh, shoot, I forgot you were bringing them by,” Mama says looking at the food that is now gone from the serving dishes.
“It’s okay. I can just eat a croissant,” she says, waving her hand.
“Here, I have some bacon and hash browns. You can have them,” Ice says, pushing his plate towards her.
“That’s okay. You eat it,” Ana says with a flush of her cheeks.
“Don’t worry, my plate was full. I had more than enough,” he lies.
I know he didn’t take more than three bites of his food, but no one calls him on it as the kitchen is quiet.
“Oh, uh thanks,” Ana says, and grabs a cup of coffee before sitting down.
Mama eyes Ice. Something comes across in her expression, but it’s gone so quick that I have to wonder if I imagined it.
“What are you doing? That’s Viking’s Old Lady,” I hiss in a whisper to him.
He shrugs his shoulders. “She seems like she needs a friend,” he says back.
Ana gets up to take a call the in the other room, and Dani slides the rest of her food to Ice.
“Take it. I don’t want to be too full before my appointment anyway,” she says to him.
Ice stares at her for a moment before eating it quickly. I don’t think I have ever seen him eat so fast.
The food just disappears before Ana gets back from her call.
“You have to let me know how your appointment goes. Then we can have a drink to celebrate,” Ana tells Dani.
“Oh yes, we finally have coolers here at the club, and I haven’t been able to have one yet,” Dani says with a sigh.
“Well, I will come by tonight if you want,” Ana says.
“Sure, we can do that,” Dani says.
I know I have plans with Dani, but it isn’t until much later. As much as I want to fuck her after her appointment, I could wait a couple more hours; even if my dick is going to hate me for it.
Knowing I will most definitely get to have her tonight is enough.
