Chapter 15
Decker
T here's a woman in my bed for the first time in my life. And she's never leaving. It's like she's always been there. No other woman has ever graced my sheets before May. No other woman ever will.
The thought of our baby inside her makes me lose my fucking mind. Fuck. Holy shit, I'm not the same man I was before her. And that's fine by me. This is one change for the better.
There's no way I want to leave her right now, so I've got Allister and my crew on the move.
They're casing the estate for me. Got feelers out with friends and acquaintances. We'll put on enough pressure that someone cracks and we get the information we need.
It's a small world with these old-school crime families.
Legit businesses on the outside, dirty as fuck on the inside.
I've seen a lot of shit go down in my clubs over the years.
A lot of very powerful people dipping their toes where they ought to keep clear.
Which means I've got a long list of favors I can call in.
So far, Allister tells me both of them are at the house, which makes me think Leah is there too. It's just a hunch, but it makes sense. Why would they put her somewhere else, where they can't keep an eye on her?
But it's just a hunch. It wouldn't be the first time I’ve been off, so we're getting anything we can on Simon and Victor. At the same time, I've got a judge ready to sign a search warrant. We need to get in that house and get eyes in every room.
I want to be there, but May can't be left alone right now. Allister's on it. I trust him more than anyone else in this world.
I slip under the covers with her, moving inch by inch until I've got her back against my chest. Her ass is gobbling my barely softened cock, and my mind drifts, imagining taking her there. Suddenly my cock is back up and ready to serve.
Not now, boy, she needs her rest.
And that ass will need a few weeks of prep work before I get my fat dick inside. I'll never hurt my girl. Never. Heart or body.
I listen to her breathing, nuzzling my nose into her hair and taking a deep breath. She smells fresh, like she's been outside in the spring. But there's a hint of our sex still on her, and the combination is more intoxicating than any liquor.
After an hour, my phone buzzes on the nightstand. I shift, leaving her warmth, and slip out of bed as I hit the button.
"Yeah?"
"Boss, we got her." Allister's voice is excited and my heart leaps right along with him.
"What? How? That was fucking fast."
"Victor got pulled over tonight. Had two grams of coke on him.
" He lets that sink in before he carries on.
"I reached out to Judge McKinley. He was May and Leah's godfather, so he has no love for the Galletti boys, that's for sure.
As soon as Simon took over, he cut everyone out of the girls' lives, wanted complete control.
That didn't sit well with McKinley, so when we came calling, he was ready to listen. "
"Fuck. Good. Well done, Allister, I owe you." I shake my head. I can hardly believe this. I was ready for a war trying to get Leah back. "Well, I know Mrs. McKinley isn't the jewel on his arm in the club every Thursday night when he's supposed to be having dinner with the District Attorney."
Allister chuckles, then a voice cuts through in the background.
A female, frantic voice.
"Is that Leah?"
"Yeah, Deck, that's her. She's a bit upset, worried about May.
We need to get those two back together, and soon.
Leah's been through it. They had her locked up in this crazy dungeon.
Rock walls, hardly any light. They're fucked up.
McKinley gave the cops a search warrant and Lieutenant Murphy let us right in behind them when they served.
All the dominoes just fell down around the Galletti boys.
Simon's in the back of a cruiser right now, and Leah's here with me.
Victor's already down at county, but they'll lawyer up, no doubt. "
"Bring Leah to my house. I'll get May up."
"May's with you?"
"Yep. And she will be for the rest of my life, as long as I can still breathe."
Allister's quiet for a moment, then he chuckles. "Good for you, boss. Good for you."
I hang up. Turn back to the bed. Time to wake my girl up and give her sister back to her.
