My damn legs felt weak.Jesus.I couldn’t remember the last time I’d come so much.It was those big, full tits and that sexy, innocent little smile of hers.She was driving me crazy.
Stepping forward, I rested my forehead on the warm stone as the hot water continued to pelt my back.I’d taken it a step too far today.I didn’t regret it.I just needed to rein that shit in.No more feeling her up.The friends thing wouldn’t work if I did.I didn’t have female friends, but I was more than positive you weren’t supposed to play with their titties.Probably a big no in the guidebook.
A smirk curled my lips at the thought that I’d seen a part of her that Calvin hadn’t.That was, if she hadn’t lied about the two of them, and I didn’t think she had.The girl was too expressive.I’d be able to see it in her eyes.
I took the bottle of body wash and filled my palm up, then brought it to a lather before washing myself, rinsing, then turning off the water and getting out.
I’d told Elsie that I’d be watching the games here tonight and asked if she was up for it.The way she lit up made my chest fucking tight.It had been weird as fuck, but I figured that must be what happened when you wanted to fuck someone and didn’t.It was all new for me.
A knock on my bedroom door stopped me from brushing my hair.I wrapped a towel around me and went back through my room to see who it was.If it was Elsie, I wouldn’t be upset about it.
It was Oz.
“Yeah?”I asked, annoyed that it was him and not Elsie.
He walked past me into the bedroom.
I closed it behind him.“Sure, you can come in,” I muttered.
“I didn’t ask,” he replied before turning to look at me.“I just got off the phone with Thaddeus.”
I frowned.“Davidson?”I asked, confused as to why the fuck I would care.
Thaddeus was the head of the Louisiana branch of the family.We hadn’t had any dealings with that branch since his son, Wayon, had stalked Montana.We got it stopped, dealt with, and kept our distance for Than’s sake.He had wanted to kill the bastard, but I was pretty damn sure we had Wayon to thank for the death of Montana’s biological father.For that, I felt like his sins were forgiven, but Montana wasn’t mine, so I didn’t get an opinion.
Oz ignored my question.“Wayon has been in contact with Telos’s men recently.They have an in to his location.”
Oh damn.
“Uh, does Than know this?”I asked hesitantly.
Oz shrugged.“That’s old news.Handled.This is our current concern.Thaddeus is coming tonight with Wayon, one of their other men, and his daughter, Lula Mae.Apparently, she’s the reason for Wayon’s in.”
“We have games tonight,” I pointed out.
He nodded.“Yeah, I’ve got Ransom and Than handling it.That way, Than is kept out of this.Ransom will have an eye on him.They’ll be at Than’s place.
“Bane is taking Halo and Hawks to his parents’ while they’re here,” he added.“We are keeping it small.The less of a crowd, the less attention is drawn to it.”
I ran a hand through my damp hair.“Fine.What time are they coming?Is Elsie going to be included in this?”
He nodded.“She needs to be informed.Although I’m going to make sure she doesn’t say anything to Calvin through her letters.It needs to be kept under lock and key.”
“All right,” I said with a sigh.“And how is Lula Mae involved in this exactly?”
Oz cut his eyes at me as if that was a stupid question.“You’ve seen her.She got Telos’s right-hand man’s attention at a club on Bourbon Street six months ago.He’s been pursuing her.”
“Great.So, we are banking on getting to him through his sidekick’s need for pussy.”I didn’t think that sounded solid to me.
“You don’t understand the control a cunt can have on a man.You’ve not had that cunt yet.But when it happens, you’ll get it,” Oz told me as he headed back to the door.
No, I wouldn’t get it.But if this dipshit was stupid enough to fuck around with Lula Mae Davidson and get attached, then so be it.Whatever got us in contact with Telos Kris.
Tonight’s gathering in the great room was different.Gathe, Than, and Ransom were all at Than’s, handling tonight’s bets.Noa was there, visiting with Montana while they watched the games.Bane was at his parents’ with Halo and Hawkins.Linc was here, but Luther had stayed at their house with Branwen, Stevie, and Lace.
Hale was here, representing the Carvers since his sons couldn’t be.Locke Bowen and his father, Mal, were both here.Kash, Oz, and I were also waiting on the arrival of the Davidsons while Winslet and Cressida kept Elsie distracted with baking shit in the kitchen and a bottle of wine that Winslet couldn’t help them drink.
No one else was aware that Elsie knew what the fuck we were, except Gathe.That was why Oz was keeping her out of this until she needed to be included.I was close to just fucking telling him that Calvin had clued her in before she ever arrived.But I didn’t want Oz interrogating or trying to intimidate her.
