“Wait,” Keisha calls out after him.
My half-brother turns around and she goes over to him. “Let’s talk in private.”
“No, anything you need to say. They can hear it too.” He folds his arms over his chest.
“Fine.” She wipes at her nose. “He could be yours or he could belong to…” she eyes my father nervously. “Briggs.”
“You really are a whore aren’t you,” Jachin says shaking his head. “I thought I loved you and when I told you I didn’t want to get married you fucked my father. How sick is that? If Brayden is mine, be prepared to only
see him on the weekends because I will take you to court for custody and I will win.”
He storms out of the clubhouse, Keisha sobbing as she runs out behind him.
“What the hell was that about, Dad? With you consoling her?”
“When you left, she sort of became a daughter to me. She was going through a rough time, especially since you were her safe place, away from her mom and stepdad.” Carter never let me meet his mom while we were dating, hell, even my dad wouldn’t let me near their place. I don’t know much about them, just that they weren’t good people, and about a year ago, the club ran her out of town, at least that’s what I was told, most likely the club killed them, when it came out they were trying to sell Brayden, Keisha’s son, to some child ring.
“This is sounding gross. She became like a daughter to you, and you fucked her? What the hell?” I stare at him in disgust.
“It wasn’t like that. I honestly didn’t know I even slept with her the night she claimed I did, I was drunk, it was your birthday. I only remember waking up naked in bed next to her and had dried up cum on my dick.”
I gag. “Okay, please, stop. There are some things your daughter doesn’t need to hear.”
“You wanted to know. That’s what it was. I believed her at first that the kid was mine, I was sick about it. I had basically slept with a girl that was like a daughter to me. I didn’t know what to do. That’s all it was.” He rubs at his face. “I think she was more upset that I wasn’t the father because she knows I would have taken good care of her and that little boy. Gotta say, glad I ain’t that kid’s father, but don’t mean I won’t be there for him if he needs me.”
I look at him, seeing the truth in his eyes, and nod. “That better be all, because there is no way in hell, I will allow someone to be my stepmother that is younger than me.”
He laughs. “Don’t worry about that, Princess. I’m dying, not getting married.”
Chapter 35
Wrecker
“What do you want, Keisha?” I ask as she comes into mine and Harlee’s new house, without knocking. We moved in a week ago. We’ve settled right in and gotten Ellie on a good routine. She started at her new school yesterday. I’m still not used to being daddy but it feels damn good.
“I want you to kill Jachin for me.” I look at her face and notice the bruising is fading away, when I heard what Harlee did, I wasn’t surprised. I knew it was coming, only a matter of time. Keisha should have expected it too, they were once best friends, but now, they hate each other.
“Not gonna happen. He’s Harlee’s brother and they are trying to work out their shit and be civil.”
“He threatened to take Brayden from me,” she screeches.
“Well, maybe it’d do you some good. You need to get your shit straight.”
“Oh, that’s rich coming from you. You think you’re so perfect now that you have Harlee and your kid. Well I got news for you—I know you. The first chance you get you’ll be sticking your dick in anything that moves.”
“Get out before you say something that gets you killed. I didn’t bring you into this world, but I damn sure raised your ass, and I won’t hesitate to take you out if you try to fuck up shit for me with Harlee.” In the time since we’ve been back, I’ve not once stepped out on Harlee, except for when I was angry as fuck and tried to get Penny to suck me off, and I have no interest in doing so. Sure, I look at other women, it’s only natural, but I won’t ever stick my dick near anyone who isn’t Harlee.
“You don’t mean that,” she whispers, brokenly.
“Best thing for you to do is to take Briggs and Jachin down and get a test done. Then you’ll know, and then you can figure out what to do. Don’t bother me with your shit again.” She slaps me across the face, and I grab her up by her throat. “I told you once I won’t tell you again.” I carry her to the door, feet dangling and throw her out on her ass. “I hope whoever turns out to be Brayden’s father takes him from you, and bitch, I’ll help. Stay the fuck away from me and my family.”
A few minutes later, Harlee comes walking through the house in nothing but a towel, fresh outta the shower. Keisha is instantly forgotten and my dick goes rock solid.
“C’mere,” I demand already undoing my jeans.
“I thought I heard shouting.”
“Nothing for you to concern yourself with. How long we have until Ellie gets home from school?”
