Nine
Desiree glared at her computer screen that she was working on for their next extraction. For the last week and a half, she’s been in a foul mood, and everyone has been giving her a wide berth.
There had been no more incidents against her after that one attempt. But her brothers and her club weren’t taking any chances.
Since that day, she has not been left alone other than when she goes into her room. There were always at least one or two people staying with her.
One would stay in the house with her while the other would patrol her property, making sure no one got close to the house.
Maybe that’s why she’s been in such a foul mood. She hasn’t had a moment to herself in forever it seemed.
“Okay, what the fuck is going on and don’t tell me you don’t know. I know Max was in the bedroom with you the whole fucking time you were napping. What happened?” Andrea demanded as she walked into Desiree’s office and plopped down in the chair across from her.
Julie and their other sergeants at arms walked into the office behind Andrea. Fucking gossip whores.
“Nothing happened.” Desiree answered, ignoring her friends.
“Bullshit. You forget I’ve known you most of our lives, bitch. Now spill or I’ll let Teddy know the bullshit reason you gave was a lie so he can interrogate Mr. Hottie himself.” Andrea glared back at her with a shit eating grin on her lips.
“Bitch.”
“Twat.”
“Cunt muffin.”
“Cunt muncher.”
“You know damn well that isn’t true.” Desiree fired back throwing her pen at Andrea.
“Then spill, bitch.” Julie “Bella” Stone spoke up with her hands in the air dramatically.
“Max found me in the shower basically in the middle of an episode. Seeing the porch caused a flashback. I thought I hid it well, but apparently not. He actually got into the shower, held me and spoke to me as he washed my hair. He dried me off and put my night shirt on and put me to bed. When he left, he asked him to stay. He curled up in bed with me and held me as I slept. When I woke up, he was still there. He’d slept beside me too.
I asked him why he was so nice to me all of the sudden when he fucking hated my guts while I was with Bradley.
He told me his true feelings, which was he actually liked me and wanted a shot.
A real relationship with me.” Desiree finally caved, leaving out the part about their kissing.
“Okay, but why does that have you in a foul mood like you’re ready to beat the shit out of everyone?” Angela “Angel” Heavenly questioned, crossing her arms across her chest and leaning back against the wall.
“I kissed him. Fuck can the man kiss. Then things got a little hot and heavy until fucking Teddy banged on the door. Then the asshole had the nerve to tell me he wouldn’t finish me off unless I gave him an answer.
Saying he wasn’t a hit it and quit it kind of guy.
Haven’t seen hide nor hair of him sense. ”
When the three women started laughing, Desiree glared at both of them determining how much prison time she would get if she killed all three of them and hid the body.
Then decided that Jose had the hots for Andrea and that would probably start a fight between her and her brother so that was off the table.
Then she wondered how pissed he would be if she just maimed the bitch. Maybe he wouldn’t be that pissed if he found out why she maimed her.
Nah, she couldn’t do that because if he found out about Max, that would cause problems between Max and Teddy and possibly Tiny and Jose. She was fucked without the good time right now.
“Glad you bitches think that shit is funny.” Desiree threw her last three pens at the women.
“We’re laughing because apparently you didn’t know.
Every freaking night that one of us has been there, Max is the one patrolling the grounds at night.
He’s been there at your place every night since then.
He checks in a few times a night to make sure you’re okay and haven’t had any more nightmares.
It’s been driving Jose and Teddy fucking nuts because they can’t understand why he’s been doing it.
” Andrea told Desiree, reaching for her hand.
“Give the man a shot. He obviously cares about you. At least then, if it doesn’t work out, you can say you gave it a shot. But something tells me that isn’t going to happen. I think he’s your one. Only you can determine that.” Julie softly told Desiree, which had the other two agreed with her.
“What about Jose and Teddy? You know those two are going to start shit if I admit I want to date him.” Desiree sighed heavily as she leaned back in her seat.
“Remind the oldest asshat about his obsession with me. The youngest, I can understand since that’s his team leader, but I’m with Julie, I think you two are it for each other.
Once Teddy sees that he truly cares about you, then he’ll calm his virgin balls down.
” Andrea shrugged, leaning back in her seat.
Desiree thought about everything the three women had said to her. She had to admit that she felt safer whenever Max was around.
Maybe that’s why she had been able to sleep better the last couple of nights. Her body knew that he was near, even if she didn’t really know it.
“I’ll think about it. Once we do this extraction, I’ll talk to him.”
“Good girl.” Andrea got up and patted Desiree on the head.
“You’re lucky I can’t make your scrawny ass disappear. If I didn’t love my brother so much, I probably would have buried your ass in the woods by now.” Desiree swatted Andrea’s hand away with a laugh.
