Lyon's Heart (19 page)

Of course she didn’t have an
answer for that one.

“Da da.” My baby girl turned
my face to hers and babbled away at me. I’m pretty sure she was
picking up for her mother. Freaking females. I kissed her cute
little nose and gave her my full attention.

“Yes Caitlin.” She was
bundled from head to toe in her winter suit. Her eyes weren’t as
fever bright as before, thankfully, but I wanted to get this over
and done with so I could get her back as soon as possible. Her
mother was watching us with her sad face on. Damn infuriating
female. Shit.

“Come here.” She couldn’t
wait to get under the arm I raised for her. Why the fuck I can’t
stay mad at her for more than ten minutes beats me. That’s probably
part of the reason why she is the way she is.

“Look at me; I don’t want
you going anywhere near that woman not until I find out who she is,
do you understand? This is the last time I’m gonna say this. I’m
supposed to be your protector. You’re not letting me do that when
you go behind my back and do this shit. I don’t want anything
happening to you. People are fucked in the head baby and I don’t
trust this person as far as I can throw her. I’m not asking you to
feel the same but I am telling you, you are not going anywhere near
her or you’ll be over my fucking knee.” Shit I’ve been cussing all
day in front of the baby.

“Wait a minute Caitlin daddy
needs to talk to mommy.” I placed her in her playpen for a sec. She
fretted for a minute before calming down and I walked back over to
my hardheaded wife.

“You’re being fucking
selfish right now too and I don’t like it. I’ve been letting you
get away with shit and you’ve let it go to your head. Well that
shit ends right now. The next time you do some shit I tell you not
to, you’re not gonna be able to sit for a week are we
clear?”

“Yes sir.”

“I’ll say this for the last
time so you finally get it. I don’t want you getting hurt. I don’t
know who the fuck this person is. I’m not interested in who the
fuck she is. I only care about you and the baby. If that makes me a
bastard, I give a fuck. You two are my only concerns. Just do as I
say and we’ll be fine. Tell me you understand me.”

“I understand Colt. It’s
just that I don’t get why you’re so sure that she’s up to
something. I mean I did run her over. It’s not like she came
looking for me specifically or something.”

“It’s dead Kat. What the
fuck? Here’s the deal, I’ll be fucked if I’m going to let some
random stranger who I don’t trust fuck up Caitlin’s first Xmas. As
of this minute we don’t discuss her again. You do not owe her
anything. What you need to do right now seriously is concentrate on
our daughter and make sure that she’s okay. Your daughter and your
man, that’s it. You don’t have any other worries in the world, you
get me?”

“Yes.” She said that shit
but she still looked torn.

“Kat I’m serious, no more
fuck ups. Caitlin and Colton those are the only two things you have
to think about it’s that simple.”

“Okay Colt, I’m
sorry.”

“Good, now get your coat and
let’s go. I don’t want her outside too late with this fever
bullshit.”

We had a fun time with the
fat fuck after standing in a long ass line behind some bad ass
kids. My kid is not going to be like that, screaming and throwing
tantrums and shit in public. She was a good girl while she sat to
get her picture taken and then we walked around the mall for a
while so she could enjoy the lights and shit. She was happy and
wide eyed the whole time.

The guys had come with their
families as well, so we made a day of it. After leaving the mall,
we took the little hellions to one of those kid friendly
restaurants where Caitlin clapped and giggled her little heart out
watching the bigger kids play. Yes daddy took a thousand pictures
so what?

It was the first time in the
last day or so that I didn’t spend one moment thinking about our
problem and was able to relax and enjoy. Things were finally back
on track.

After Kat fell asleep that
night my mind wouldn’t shut off. I’ve done some serious shit in the
past year and a half that could come back to bite me in the ass.
Which one of them was this shit about?

Everyone else was treating
this shit like it was no big deal but my gut was on high alert. I
don’t like lying here with my Angel in my arms worrying about this
fuckery. It feels too much like being a prisoner in my own home. We
were fighting amongst each other. Tensions were high and for what,
some asshole that I didn’t even know? Fuck that, I’m through with
this shit. Today I came as close as I ever have to disrespecting my
wife. I don’t mind spanking Kat’s ass when she needs it, but I draw
the line at outright disrespecting her. I looked down at her head
on my chest. She looks so innocent when she’s asleep. Like the
young innocent I met two years ago. The thought of anyone hurting
her in anyway just tears me up inside. I can’t let that happen. I
won’t let that happen. She’s my baby, the owner of my heart, and I
will do everything I have to to keep her safe. I hugged her closer
and kissed her forehead as she sighed and snuggled into my
chest.

“Colt.”
Her voice was sleepy soft and sexy, but since I’d already
fucked her six ways from Sunday before she dropped off to sleep I
figured I’d let her get some rest.

I left the bed and headed
for my home office after checking in on my daughter. That kid has
the weirdest sleeping habits. She sleeps on her knees with her butt
in the air. I touched her hair softly and my heart did its funny
little dance. I kissed her head and brushed her hair back with my
fingers before heading out.

I sat in the quiet of my
office going over and over in my mind all that has happened in the
last few days, but I kept coming back to the accident. Something,
in fact everything about that screamed set up to me. I just didn’t
know who the players were. Nothing else has happened in a while
before this whole mess, so I have a feeling that it has something
to do with one of my scrapes from the past year and a half, which
means it has something to do with my wife. Everything I’ve done in
that time frame except for a few little flare ups here and there
where the crew and I had to go put out a few flames had to do with
her in some way or the other. Trouble magnet.

I pulled up my files on the
three assholes in lockdown. I’ m going to have to go through each
of their backgrounds to see if there was any connection. Maybe they
had a sister or a girlfriend or something. Kat hadn’t known her
attackers, so there would be no way for her to know their families
and I’m sure if she’d seen this person at the trial she would
remember. There was nothing else I could think of that this could
be about and I have nowhere else to start so this was as good a
guess as any.

I can’t exactly go through
my father in law for answers. That’s too fucking close for comfort.
So I’m gonna have to reach out. I have a lot of ground to cover.
There was still Jennifer and her crazy ass. I might have to sift
through her friends as well. No one knew about my part in what went
down in Arizona, so I’m thinking that’s a dead end. Even the guys
in prison are a bit of a stretch but I can’t think of anything else
that would explain it. James the fuck didn’t have any friends that
I know of and even if he did, why would they come after me? As far
as everybody knows he torched himself while getting high or some
shit. Maybe it was someone from my past before Kat but something
told me no. Besides she’d chosen Kat’s car to pull her little stunt
on and my gut said it was about her, but what? Who?

I was damn near pulling my
hair out in frustration. I hate feeling this way. Like I have no
control over what’s going on around me, especially with this
feeling of pending danger. Sitting there long enough, I got an idea
that I wrestled with for a minute. It was the only thing I could
come up with but still I had a few reservations. My boy Travis is
cool as fuck but he’s also crazy. This fucker makes me look like an
altar boy sometimes and that’s putting it mildly. The difference
between him and I, is that I try to be a gentleman or so I like to
think. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt if you know
what I mean, before taking them the fuck out. Not my boy Travis,
his hotheaded ass would take out a whole town to get to one
asshole. Especially if that town was harboring said asshole. He’s a
little younger than I am. Not by much. Just a few years but damn
the kid is rough. I once saw him take down a man twice his size
with a few moves. Getting him involved might speed up the process
but there might be more blood shed than I’m ready for. I’ve got my
wife and kid to think about now and my father in law is just
waiting for me to do something. I think he needs to prove to
himself that he’s right about his suspicions. Not that I think
Drake wants to throw me in jail or anything, no with him I think
he’s just one of those people that likes to know shit. I’m giving
some serious thought to calling up Travis just to get this shit
over and done with. It’s not so much his brawn that I’m in need of,
that shit I can handle myself, but his contacts. One in particular
would come in really handy right now. He heads his own crew and
they sometimes get together with mine on out of town rides. We’ve
helped each other out a time or two in the past, like with the
pedophile thing, and I know one hundred percent that he would be on
board, but fuck. Travis is cool people no doubt about it, I
wouldn’t let the crazy fuck near my family if he wasn’t and he’s
been to my house quite a bit. But he has connections that I don’t;
his dad is the head of the local outfit if you know what I mean. If
I’m hardcore this fucker is Teflon. Travis likes Kat and the baby.
He was at our wedding and Caitlin’s christening. He’s one of those
guys that if he likes you, he’s got your back for life. If I get
him involved in this shit, that would just be opening a whole new
can of worms. These are the arguments I kept going over and over
again in my head. I should probably wait until I have more but when
it comes to Kat I won’t take chances. She’s had enough fuckery in
her life already. When I put her under me that first time, I
promised her that that shit was dead and I intend to keep my word
at all cost. I guess Travis it is then, since her dad said shit
will take time on his end and I know for a fact that old man
Mallory could get shit done sooner. I don’t ask questions when it
comes to his shit, he is way too hardcore for my ass. I might get
into a scrape here and there to protect someone or to get an abused
woman away from that situation. Old man Mallory is a whole other
kettle of fish, as far as I can gather, him and his crew were
hardcore back in the day and now he was passing that shit off to
his sons. Theirs was the kind of crew you read about in old
newspapers I guess. You know the type, the grizzly looking fuckers
with beards down to their chests. Shit kickers that had seen way
better days and never smiling. They were the kind of bikers that
put fear in every man, woman, and child when they rode through a
town one hundred strong. They kinda remind me of the gunslingers of
the old West. Only these days, old man Mallory was a lot more
refined. He wore silk suits and loafers and shit. Whatever gene he
had in him that made him do the things his legend was made of, he’d
passed on to his son Travis; and here I was giving serious thought
to drawing him into this mess with me if only to get to the bottom
of it sooner rather than later. I didn’t feel like I had a choice.
There was nothing for me to work with and I gotta do what I gotta
do.

With the decision made, I
sent off a quick text and headed for bed and my woman.

Colt seems a little more
relaxed this morning and after the pounding he’d given me I wasn’t
feeling too shabby myself. He walked around the bed in his
unbuttoned jeans and no shirt, his tattoos on full display. His
body still makes me weak in the knees and although I felt like
jello I could still go for another round.

“Stop looking at me like
that babe your daughter’s going to be up any minute I don’t have
time to fuck you again.”

He leaned over the bed and
caged me between his arms for a kiss which I tried to turn into
something more.

“We can be quick.” I reached
for his cock and wrapped my fingers teasingly around it making it
jump. Before he could stop me I got to my knees and fished him out
of his pants and into my mouth.

“Fuck baby girl.” His hands
in my hair weren’t complaining. I licked and teased him the way he
likes all around the tip that was already leaking onto my tongue. I
used my tongue and teeth to drive him crazy until I felt that
change in him. I always know when he’s at that point of no return
and it wasn’t long before I found myself off the bed with my face
buried in it as he drove into me hard enough to shake my whole
body. I grabbed the sheets as he slammed his whole length into me
over and over again I was already so close I could feel my orgasm
building.

“Right there Colt spank my
ass.” His hand came down hard on my ass and I felt my body
release.

“Cum inside me give me
another baby.” I knew that would send him over the edge.

“Fuck.” His hips sped up and
he went deeper making my eyes cross with lust as he leaned over my
back biting into the flesh of my neck as I felt his hot seed burst
into me filling me.
