Lady Boss (The Spitfire Book 2)(9)

"Fuck." I had my head down, my hand to my forehead as if thinking really hard. Know your enemy. The Art of War one o one, she read that shit too though, she'd be watching for my play, my baby was smart. Gotta be smarter, how was I gonna play this?

There's no way in hell she's going, fuck that. Ma would have my balls for sure I take her new daughter in law out on a hit, uhuh.

"Okay, but if we're gonna do this then you have to wear a vest.......I don't want to hear it." I cut her off as soon as she opened her mouth to argue.

"If you want to come along you have to wear one."

"Where am I supposed to get a vest?" Now we were in a face off.

"What am I an amateur, let's go."

She gave me a suspicious look before following me to the door.

"I don't know about this new son in law of mine Alphonso, he doesn't seem to be any better at handling her than I am."

I ignored the old man as I led her to my place. Mutt and Jeff were behind us with shit eating grins on their faces. Assholes, I gave them each a glare which did nothing to stop their disrespectful behavior. No doubt ma and the girls will be getting a play by play first chance they get. Gossiping fucks.

Unlocking the door I walked ahead of Ari as the boys who were now joined by the two old gangsters waited in the living room.

I walked into my walk in closet and touched the crease that hid the mechanism that opened my weapons slash safe room.

I walked in so she would see I wasn't up to anything. Grabbing the new ultra thin bodysuit that's really a bulletproof vest in disguise, I passed it off to her.

When she reached to take it I cuffed her left hand, pulled it behind her back, and attached it to her right.

"You asshole jerk." She rammed her head back into my chest.

"Oomph, stop it Mouth, you know you don't have any right being in on a hit, you know I can't do it, I can't take you into danger baby please...just stay here I'll make it quick."

She turned her head away from me. "Mouth, Mouth look at me." I had to turn her head to me, she looked ready to kill, but she didn't say a word. I gave her a quick kiss not trying for anything longer since I needed my tongue for the duration of my existence on this earth and I was quite sure she'd do her damnedest to chew it off it I tried.

"It's going to be okay." I brushed her hair back and kissed her forehead. She pulled away from me.

Fuck me, and so it begins. The last thing I saw before closing the reinforced steel door was the look of betrayal in her eyes. Now I felt like shit.

"Let's move, I'll give you guys the Intel on the way there." I talked as I walked.

"Where's Ari?" Rossi looked behind me as though expecting to see her there.

"Don't ask she's safe."

"Oh shit son, you sure you wanna do this?"

"Yes Alphonso, what do you suggest, should I take my wife on a hit, would you take yours?"

"Well now, I don't have a wife and the one you're planning to marry isn't exactly the norm if you know what I mean. Arianna is........well, let's just say she's not going to take this lightly."

"Tell me something I don't know, at least this way I don't have to worry about her little ass being hurt. Now are we going or do you have more marital advice to share?"

"Come on Al, Flanagan's got it all figured out, don't say we didn't warn you boy, my little girl isn't known for her forgiving nature, shit like this could play out for months."

"Yeah Roberto, remember her senior prom, that finocchio she wanted to go with.....?" They went out the door reminiscing about Mouth and her penchant for retaliation and holding a grudge.

I gave one last look in the direction of my bedroom, my heart heavy. I know she felt betrayed but I'd rather have her pissed the fuck off than dead.

She'd just have to get over it, and I'll just have to love her out of her funk. See no one before me had that weapon in their arsenal. I could use my charms on her, give her some good loving and all's forgiven. Yeah if she doesn't castrate my ass first. Ouch.

I had to put that shit away for now; I had an asshole to burn.





Chapter 7





Prince of the City





I'd decided, my turf, my woman, my hit.

My guest will just have to take a back seat, it's not like I could move into their territory and make a hit. Besides I owed the Staccos, they'd been fucking with me for way too long.

The son was still hiding somewhere but I had a bead on the father, one’s good enough for now. I had no doubt that if I hit the father the son would come out of hiding.

Him I wanted to spend some time with, marry my girl indeed. The fuck, what he'd planned amounted to rape. He was going to force my Ari, like fuck. I'm gonna enjoy fucking him up.

"Carmine Stacco is holed up in a cabin in the forest two hours outside of town, no word yet on where his spawn is but I'm sure when news of his father's demise reaches him we'll flush him out."
