  "Thanks Pres. I'm glad it worked out the way it was supposed to." He's smiling. He is so much like Danny always ready with a smile.

  "I know I said not a scratch, how is your chest?" I say close to him.

  "Luckily it was a fuckin pea shooter. I'm fine thanks Pres." He slaps my back. If he's anything like his father he's got a fuckin bruise and a welt the size of a baseball on his chest. I throw him chin and look for Allan.

  I walk up behind him slapping his back. "Allan you were great today. I wouldn't mind seeing you on Teams again."

  He smiles. "Thanks Pres. I wouldn't mind being there but I work some crazy hours. I was just lucky to have today off."

  "Let VP know if you ever get to where you have regular days off. He'll work around your schedule as much as possible."

  "Thanks Pres I will." Slapping his back I look for Petey and Chet.

  Walking back to Danny, I slap Chet on the back. He turns. I lean in and thank him for keeping Petey covered today. "Working with different levels of experience didn't alter your performance. Your ability was noticed and talked about today. Great fuckin job Brother."

  He looks surprised. "Thanks Pres. That feels fuckin good."

  "It should Brother, that's how it was meant."

  I turn and thank Petey for stepping up and getting the cars on the wrecker so fuckin fast. He smiles proud. Danny slaps his back.

  I notice Digs and Sticks. Brothers are slapping their backs and giving them respect as they go by. I do the same. Love the fuckin Brotherhood.

  I look for Steve, he's talking to Dave. I walk over. They both turn, "Trackin was on cars and truck. Dave dropped them with Geek. Jammed them until he can find where they transmit to. Geek sent Doc a wand. Drugs tracked too. Have HS night shift checkin the weapons."

  "Fuck. Tracking like that isn't from a piss poor gang like we saw today. The Camaro seemed too easy. Maybe it was supposed to be."

  "Yeah, thought that too. Rich went over the video, said the same thing. Too many of us with that thought." Steve looks from me to Dave.

  "Put Surveillance on high alert. If it's the Outlaws they'll be blowback. We're two weeks from Laconia. If it isn't here it will be up there." Fuck. I'm not liking the feeling I'm getting. "VP, do what you do to get the answers we need. Let me know if you need Brothers to get there. Get the drugs out of Doc's clinic. Dave, work it out with VP to get night time security set up at Salvage. Set up a Security meeting for us tomorrow so I know where we stand. I don't need all the answers just a direction."

  "On it Pres." VP says. Dave throws chin. I check my watch. Steve laughs. "At least another hour." Fuckin Brother.

  I go to the bar for another beer. I follow Danny's gaze to Rich and Patches following Darlene to the Brothers rooms’ hallway. He looks at me and smiles. Fuckin Brother. I can't fuckin escape them tonight.

  Fuckin Danny laughs. "Leave the beer Pres, let's ride for an hour."

  "Sounds like a better fuckin plan to me." I leave the beer and walk out throwing chin. Steve and about ten other Brothers walk out with me. Fuck if it doesn't feel good to just ride with my Brothers.

  FIVE

  One week

  Kate

  "Damn construction. I need my damn clothes." I walk to the door and open it. "Danny!" I yell into the empty hall then close the door and wait.

  Ben comes in looking me up and down. "Please tell me I just didn't hear you say my name." He smiles.

  Does he not notice my face? "No I need some damn clothes."

  "I like this look. I can work with this." He's still looking at my damn chest.

  "Ben! Stay focused here. I need some clothes." I say firmly trying not to yell.

  He looks up at my face then back down at my body as he walks closer. "I really like the stockings can we please leave them uncovered."

  Damnit! I walk by him and open the door yelling for Danny again. I hear Ben groan behind me. Freakin Men!

  Ben

  Fuck she's fuckin sexy. She wants to cover up her fuckin beautiful body. Danny comes in. Looking from her to me then back to her. "Love the outfit babe but you've got a meeting to get to. There's no way I can do quick with you looking like that. You’re fuckin Beautiful K."

  She stomps her foot making a noise. Fuck she's mad? I look at her face, she's not mad, she's fuckin pissed. She takes a deep breath drawing my eyes to her chest. Fuck I'm so fuckin ready. "I need my clothes." She says slowly.

  Danny laughs walking over to the wall. "Sorry Beautiful, I told you last night but you were a little distracted. You have to go through the safe room to get in there right now. I’ll have it done by this afternoon." He moves a lever on the wall sconce and the wall lifts.

  Kate relaxes, “I was a little distracted. Thank you honey." She rises up and he bends to kiss her.

  Fuck her ass is fuckin perfect, framed by the garter and stockings. Danny's hand slides across it and gives her a little tap. Fuck, I move forward. He lets her go and she walks away. I stop and watch not understanding what the fuck is going on. I look at Danny. "What the hell?"

  He looks at me and laughs. "Brother she has a meeting. Anticipate what it will be like later. She'll look just like that when we get her clothes off."

  Fuck! I moan and he fuckin laughs. My fuckin brain isn't ready to move on so I just stand looking at where I last saw her. I've never seen her in stockings. I'm going to buy her more if I can look at her like that every fuckin day. I'm thinking of how I can get away to go shopping today when she comes back shrugging a blouse over her head. Fuck no! She has a skirt and heels on. Fuck if I can't picture those legs in stockings with the heels. She passes us and walks into the bathroom. I just follow her with my eyes.

  Danny laughs and Kate pokes her head out the door. She looks from him to me and laughs as she walks back to me. "I have a meeting I can't be late for. I'll be home early. Patches and Rich are taking the kids later. We'll have a couple of hours alone before the kids get home."

  I growl. Fuck she's serious. She pulls me down by my shirt and kisses my lips. As I raise my hands she turns and goes back in the bathroom. My arms fall to my side. What the fuck? I shake my head and Danny cracks up. I look at him wondering what is so fuckin funny. She's leaving with the fuckin panties, stockings and garter. "She's going to fuckin work like that Brother." I growl out. The hair dryer goes on. She really is going to work like that.

  He nods still fuckin laughing. "Yeah, always wears the sexiest fuckin lingerie."

  What the fuck? "Always? She always goes to work like that?"

  He's fuckin hysterical holding his stomach. "Brother you’ve been fuckin undressing her for over a fuckin month, you just now noticed?" He tries to catch his breath breathing deep.

  "I thought she changed for us. She walks around all fuckin day like that? Fuck! I need to go shopping, what's her size?"

  He cracks up again. "Got no fuckin clue. I don't shop."

  "She's your fuckin wife walking around like that and you don't buy it for her?" I can't fuckin believe he doesn't fuckin shop for her. She buys that shit for herself? Fuck my dick is so fuckin hard I need a fuckin cold shower.

  He stops laughing and looks at me. "No cotton in her drawers Brother. Her and Jess been shopping forever at Victoria's won't ever buy anywhere else. Tracy used to go with them Brother." What? I watch his face. She fuckin bought like that? What the fuck? "Sorry Brother, I see by your face this is news. The good news is Kate always wears lingerie and Tracy is fuckin history." I run his words through my fuckin head. She'd been fuckin around for years? I turn and walk across to the door. "Brother." I stop as my hand hits the knob. "Kate will be home at four thirty." I nod and walk out never looking back. Fuck.

  I kiss the boys on the head and lift Ally from her seat giving her a hug. "Be good Little Brothers." They all say they will. I walk out losing the smile. Fuckin Tracy.

  Danny

  Fuck, I fucked that up. "Baby I know you have a meeting but I just fucked up. Can we talk while you put on your makeup?"

&nbs
p; "Yeah, what happened?" She says rubbing shit on her face.

  "You short circuited Ben's brain with the lingerie; he thought you changed for us when you got home. I told him you don't own anything else. He was shocked. I said you and Jess and used to be Tracy always shopped together. He was fuckin beyond shocked."

  She stops putting shit on with a brush and looks at me. "She was cheating for years? What a fuckin bitch. Where is he now?"

  "He left." We hear his bike start and drive out fast. Fuck!

  "Can you call Steve? I wish I could just blow off this meeting but I don't think he needs to see us right now. He'll probably go to Steve." She goes back to putting shit on her beautiful face.

  I kiss her head and walk into the bedroom pulling my phone. Steve is fuckin pissed. He looks for Ben on tracking and finds him at the bluff. He's going up there. He thanks me. Fuck, I just fucked up and he thanked me.

  Kate comes to me and pulls me in for a kiss. "I waited to put my gloss on." She smiles. "It's better that this shit comes out now. Tracy messed with his head for a while, like De did to you. We have therapy tomorrow it will help. I have to go but I'll be back at four-four thirty." I nod giving her a squeeze.

  She walks out leaving me to think of what a fuckin douche I just was. I shouldn't have said anything about Tracy but he looked so fuckin shocked about Kate's lingerie. Who the fuck gets so worked up over underwear? I smile, I fuckin do, I love her panties. Thank fuck I don’t have to pick them. I shake my head and get downstairs to let the guys in. We should be done with Devan's room and the closet today.

  Ben

  Looking out over the bay I'm fuckin pissed. I hear the bike coming but I don't turn. Thank fuck it's Steve and not Danny. No one’s looked at me with pity in a long fuckin time. I'm not fuckin liking the way that makes me feel.

  Steve parks on the side of me and shuts it off. "Nice day for a fuckin ride." I look over at him. He's smiling.

  It is a nice day for a fuckin ride. I call Keith, "I'm out for the day." He's fuckin whining? "I didn't ask for your fuckin opinion. I know what's on my fuckin schedule. Your fuckin job is to see to my fuckin needs not the other way around Brother. Deal with what you need to. Let them know I'm not answering unless it's Security or the kids’ school. I'm out." Fuckin assistant needing assistance. I shake my head.

  Steve is talking to Rich. He puts his phone in his front pocket so he can feel if a text comes in. "He'll text if we're needed. Let's ride Brother." He starts up and we fuckin ride.

  We stop outside of Boston for lunch. It's been an awesome fuckin ride on the back roads with no destination or time constraints. We sit and give our order. "Thanks Brother, it feels fuckin good to just ride."

  He smiles over at me. "Fuckin Danny has good fuckin ideas."

  Fuck that brings it all back. "Yeah." I look at the water.

  "Needin to talk Brother? I'm listenin." He says. When I look back he's facing the water.

  Fuckin Brother can read me like a book. "Yeah Brother. Did you know Kate and Jess buy their shit from Victoria's? That's all they wear?"

  "Yeah, been doin it since college. It was their one splurge." He says like we're talking about the weather. "Tracy did too."

  Fuck. "Why the fuck am I the only one that doesn't know this shit?"

  He looks at me. "Brother she was your wife. I don't know what the fuck she showed you under her fuckin clothes."

  He's right. "I can tell you she never fuckin showed me lingerie unless I bought it and asked her to wear it for ten minutes before I pulled it off her. Fuckin Danny doesn't even know Kate's fuckin size."

  "Pissed at Danny because Kate buys her own fuckin panties? Brother, never shopped for fuckin panties in my life. What the fuck is this really about?"

  I run my hand through my hair. "Fuck Brother. I thought Kate changed every fuckin day for us. When I saw her getting dressed I was fuckin shocked. At first I thought it was for me then she went for clothes. My fuckin brain couldn't wrap around her putting clothes on and fuckin Danny was letting her go to work like that. When I told him I thought she changed, he was fuckin hysterical then just stopped. He said the women only shop at Victoria's like I should know that. He even said Tracy too, with a fuckin pitying look. I don’t know how he knew I had no fuckin clue."

  "You're pissed because he figured out you never saw your woman dress like that for work? Gotta say Danny don't pity any-fuckin-one. You know him better than I do Brother. Bet the look was a sorry he fucked up." He's still looking at the water.

  The waitress brings our food and beer. I roll over his words. "Maybe you're right. I was pissed to realize she was fuckin around for years, maybe I took it wrong. I keep putting this on Tracy but what the fuck kind of husband was I that she was fuckin around for years and I didn't know?"

  "We did every-fuckin-thin together Brother. Dinners at each other's house couple times a week. I didn't see it, Jess didn't see it, and Kate didn't see it. Was fuckin Danny then Nancy asked about her pullin away right before she left. None of us knew. Didn't just play you Ben. Played the whole fuckin Club." He picks up his sandwich.

  I take a bite and think about that. He's right everyone was fuckin shocked. Then she walks on fuckin Christmas. The fuckin Brothers wanted to pick her up and sell her to a club out west. Love my Brothers but she's still Jessie's mom. Sort of, the bitch hasn't called him in fuckin months. I smile thinking of the shit we did together. I see so much of Steve, Jess and the kids in my memories, Tracy is like a shadow.

  I finish my sandwich. "I miss the dinners and shit. Since she left I've been about the job. Danny's right I need to be happy to live too. I'm going to rock Keith's fuckin world with my new fuckin schedule. Kate's worth a little aggravation from the whiny bastard."

  He sits back and smiles. "You love her."

  "Of course I love her. I moved into their fuckin house didn't I? Danny's building Jessie a bed like the others."

  "Where's your clothes Ben? Saw Jessie run home to get his gear just yesterday. That's what he said 'home'." He watches me.

  Fuck. I run my hand through my hair. "Fuck I hate when you’re fuckin right." He laughs. "Don't fuckin start the laughing, I get enough of that at fuckin home." He laughs harder. Fuckin Brother. "You know Danny still builds, he didn't sell the company?"

  "Yeah, couple a year or some shit. Chris should be ready maybe a year or two. Danny treats him as owner though. Tells people it's sold already. Shows him respect. Chris is young, Danny taught him well. He can build fuckin anythin. It was good he went in with Danny. Parents thought he'd end up gang. Good guy wouldn't hurt Danny if that's where you're goin."

  "Fuck no Brother, I don't even know Chris but in passing. I have no fuckin clue how I keep missing this shit. I don't know fuck about the people I surround myself with."

  "Ben you deal with the Brothers that can't handle their own shit. Danny, Kate, Jess, Rich, Digs, Tiny, Bob. All people that can handle it themselves. Was you said we help the weak and got no business makin the decisions for the strong. Let it go Brother."

  I fuckin laugh. He's throwing my own fuckin words at me. "Let's fuckin get back; Kate’s getting home early."

  "Nice, Jess too." He smiles walking out. "Thanks for lunch." He says over his fuckin shoulder.

  "Fuckin Brother left me the fuckin bill again." I throw money and follow him hearing him fuckin laughing. "Shouldn't you be buying my fuckin lunch, I'm the fuckin Pres?"

  He looks at me with a big fuckin smile I wish I had a fuckin camera. I'd put that fuckin smile on a billboard on the highway. It dawns on me that I do have a camera. I pull my phone and hit the camera.

  "Don't want your head gettin bigger. Plus, ran out with just keys and phone, got no money." He laughs again. I snap the fuck out of the button as he starts his bike up. I smile back thinking he's gonna kill me in my sleep. Fuckin Danny is closest to the door. I crack up throwing my leg over. I can't fuckin wait to get home.

  Six

  Three days

  Kate

  I get every
thing settled with Millie for when we go to Laconia then Scituate. I can’t wait. Having my men all to myself for an entire week gets me hot. Of course, Ben hanging around every morning is helping keep me ready for them. He used to be gone by the time I made it downstairs every day, now he does a panty check. Danny thinks this is hilarious. Freakin Men. I smile as I’m thinking it. Pulling in the garage I have to maneuver around freakin bikes. What the hell are they doing now? I shut the suv off and Danny pops out of the safe room with a smile. He opens my door and kisses me. “I’m ready.” I say breathless.

  He freakin laughs. “All I did was kiss you Beautiful.”

  “But I’m ready. Think we can hide in the safe room?” Please say yes, my brain is saying.

  “I’ll get Devan and meet you back there in a couple of minutes.” He says with a smile as he opens the back door for my little man.

  I hop out and go around and into the safe room. Ben is bent over a bike working on something. He’s all sweaty and has grease on his hands. “Thought I heard your heels. You’re beautiful Kate.” He gives me a big smile and stands. Holy Crap he is sexy. He has no shirt on and his jeans are hanging low. How the hell does he have a washboard stomach? I never see or even hear about him working out.

  “Hi my sexy man.” I put my hand on his stomach and rise up to kiss him. He doesn’t disappoint. I moan in his mouth.

  He pulls away and smiles down at me. “I need to clean up so we can finish that kiss. Your beautiful blue eyes are shining Kate.” He kisses my lips and goes to the counter to put the orange stuff on his hands.

  I watch as he scrubs and rubs his hands together. Crap! I may need to change my panties before he sees them again. Danny comes in behind me and closes the door. “Patches has the kids in the bonus room. Sam is sending dinner at six.” A shiver runs through me at the look I get from him. “You look like you’re ready Beautiful K.”
