Man of Steel(41)
“I see what you’re saying.” He rubbed his chin as if he were really giving it some serious thought. “Maybe I should do the same for my girl.” I stopped short at that one and turned back to him.
“No, this is something you do for your woman, not for the hoppers, the fuck are you thinking?”
“I wasn’t talking about them, besides I haven’t been messing with that shit for a minute now. I was thinking about…” He broke off and I studied him. I got a knot in my stomach because I had a pretty good idea where this was going. It was times like this that I was reminded just how young my boys were. He was barely twenty- three and he’d never really had a father figure or any real adult influence come to think of it, before the crew.
Most of my boys were street raised and to say they were short on social graces was putting it mildly. But this shit could open up a whole can of worms that were better left alone.
“Deke…think about that kid; don’t even think about going there unless you’re ready to take this shit all the way. I mean it, don’t let this become a thing between us, do not fuck around with this shit.” He got riled up but had the good sense to keep himself in check.
“You think I don’t know that Blade? You think I can’t see that she’s been through enough already? I wouldn’t do that to lil man. I know what it’s like for your mom to have a revolving door in and out of her bedroom man. But she’s not like that, and I’m not looking to fuck her over. Besides you’ve seen what she’s accustomed to dealing with, I’m sure I’m ten times better than that fuck.”
I looked at him hard for five solid. Not one of these fuckers can get one over on me. That’s how they’d all ended up doing a stint in the pen after tangling with me back in the day. His sincerity was written all over his face and that went a long way to easing that knot in my gut.
“No son, you’re a thousand times better.”
“Good, so you’ll let me come with?” Now he seemed excited when only a few minutes ago he was turning up his nose in scorn. “You sure women like this shit right?
“If you’re coming let’s go but keep your damn mouth shut, I don’t wanna hear shit outta you.” He held up his hands and followed behind me. Some of the others shouted out questions about our whereabouts but we waved them off and headed out on our rides.
When we reached the store in the mall, I went in search of the girl who always helped me in the past with Deke right on my heels. He looked a little uncomfortable and I was about to send him back outside but then she saw me and came running over.
I pulled the little card that I kept in my wallet. She’d given it to me the last time I was here. Apparently it was a reminder of all the shit I’d bought the last time so that I could always remember the size and styles I liked.
“Deke this is Cecily, Cecily Deke.” They said hello and I walked off with her so she could try to sell me the whole damn store, which was her job. I looked back to see if he was following but he was stood in the middle of the store looking around like he was lost. I decided to leave him to it since that was pretty much my look the first time I walked through these doors.
Thirty minutes in, we were getting our fair share of stares. I wasn’t sure if it was because of our leathers and obvious biker look, or the fact that Deke was caressing the people’s damn panties.
“Deke what the fuck are you doing?” I kept my voice down so as not to draw even more attention to us.
“I’m testing out the feel, there’s a whole lot of different shit here, plus I’m trying to envision ya know.” That I did not need to know.
An hour later he was finally ready and we headed to the register. “What the fuck Deke did you buy one of everything?”
“I like them all.”
“Fair enough.”
Chapter 20
When she wasn’t making herself crazy, it was my turn. I had a million and one things to do and the kid wasn’t even here yet. “Lily, chill the fuck down before you give yourself an ulcer.”
“I can’t, we have a lot to do before the baby gets here and there’s still the wedding to get through and…” And on and on she went.
“It’ll get done whether you worry or not.”
“That’s easy for you to say. Typical male, you think you have all the time in the world, but before you know it the baby will be here and nothing will be done and I promise you Hayden Masters if that happens I am so going to kill you.” I need to get the fuck outta drama central.
Seriously, the only time she wasn’t bitching at me these days is when she had a mouth full of dick. With that thought in mind I dragged her off mid tirade and bent her ass over the back of the couch. “What’re you doing? We don’t have time…” She stopped complaining when she realized I wasn’t listening. Standing behind her I lifted the edge of the little silk robe she had on, unzipped and ran my cock head up and down her slit.
