CHAPTER 49
Maverick
After Kaya, Sophia, Doug, and Riley talked for a while about their loss, Grayson took Sophia, Riley and the twins home. Doug rolled out not long after to meet them there, which I think is best. He needs to be with his sisters after the news they got.
Kaya and I went straight to bed afterward and I put her to sleep with a few orgasms. My phone had gone off three times while we were having sex, but I obviously ignored it. Now that she’s sound asleep I grab my phone out of my jeans pocket on the floor.
Phoenix: Thought you were gonna call me
Phoenix: I don’t have all night, boy
Phoenix: You in bed with that woman?
I grin as I pull on my boxers and then my jeans.
I slip on my boots with no socks and quietly leave the room.
The common room is quiet for the most part.
The lights are dim and the music is low.
Simone is sitting on Deuce’s lap while Nora and Riker are practically fucking on one of the pool tables with an open bottle of Makers Mark right next to them.
I walk past them heading to the front door. “Ya know, ya’ll have rooms.”
Riker pulls his mouth from Nora’s breast. “Sure do, and your girl knows where mine is,” he slurs.
I stop cold and turn to him. I know he’s drunk, but I don’t fucking care. I rush toward him. Deuce jumps to his feet dropping Simone on her ass on the stone floor and gets to me before I reach his nephew.
Riker jumps to the floor leaving Nora topless laying across the pool table. She quickly tries to cover her chest while shifting away from the action. I manage to grab Riker by his cut over Deuce’s shoulder, pulling him close.
“You listen to me you little prick! You ever say anything about her again and I’m going to take pleasure in knocking out every one of your fucking teeth.”
Deuce is trying to pull us apart. “Ok, man, he gets it. Riker! Get the fuck out of here!”
Nora scurries away, while Simone returns to the couch and is now watching us as if she’s bored. I let go of Riker’s cut and he has the audacity to smirk at me while he runs his hands down the front of his cut. He takes two steps and stumbles.
“Just remember brother, I dicked her first.” His words barely leave his mouth before I land my fist on his jaw. He falls to the floor hard and lays there for a second before he cracks up.
“Jesus Christ.” Deuce mumbles as he grabs his nephew by the arm. “Get the fuck up and go to bed!”
Riker manages to get to his feet rubbing his jaw with a grin. He keeps laughing as Deuce guides him down the hallway. I shake my head and go outside to the parking lot.
I pull out my phone and call Phoenix. He picks up after one ring.
“There he is! How’s it going kid? Ace told me you got a woman.”
I shake out my right hand that just met Riker’s face. “That I do.” I grin.
“That’s all you got for me?”
“She’s the one, man.”
There’s silence for a moment. I look at the phone to make sure I didn’t lose him.
“You’re serious?”
“I am. I gave her my grandmother’s ring and we’re having a baby.”
“Holy shit!” Phoenix screams. “I never thought I’d see the day. That’s incredible kid. I’m happy for you.”
I can’t keep the smile from my face. “Thanks, brother. I appreciate it.”
“Well, you deserve it. So, I guess you’re sticking around in New Jersey then? Gonna turn into a damn Yankee.”
I chuckle. “I know. You believe that shit? Bought a house too.”
“No shit?”
“No shit. You’ll have to ride up for a visit to meet her.”
“I’ll definitely do that. You gonna have room to put me up?”
“Absolutely. Now, what the hell were you thinking sending Jessica up here?”
Phoenix lets out a guttural laugh. “I’m sorry kid, but I gotta go.”
“Phoenix.”
He laughs some more. “Congratulations, Mav. Talk soon.”
And the bastard hangs up.
