Declan
Long and bored as always.
I think of every day as a day I can run into her once more. Another chance to hear her voice. Smell her vanilla scent. And f**k, how I miss the way her eyes look at me. They soften in a killer kind of way.
It was so new and adoring at first. And now that I know what those eyes mean with the love, it was mine eyes. She only looks at me with those.
Plus, she can't look surpass my blue eyes and smile. She turns red even now when she somewhat wishes I was dead.
"We're heading out!" A Capo said.
I grab my one weapon and strip it down my gear.
We've been getting this feeling that something is up. It was short but I follow that gut feeling.
We head in to the route we believe we'll be targeted less. It was early on and gloom. We take just the right scope.
"Alright, men. Keep your eyes open. We don't know if anyone knows yet. This is the last place we would be founded."
They nod. As my men start to split. A group of men blocks us. I search and see two familiar assholes.
"Boss, it's the Monroes." One man whispers.
I hide any fear they think I have. I got another team out the front. Small but they'll come.
"What, you think you guys are better than your asset." I laughed.
Surprisedly they all laughed too. Now that I count, they won't too large.
"Maybe turn around and you'll see!" s**t.
I turn. I tried my best to be happy to see my girl. My core tighten when tonight was to scope another Mafia. But for her to be here meant otherwise.
She tricked us. She must of payed those guys off and trapped us here.
"Always good to see." I cheers happily.
"It's play time, Barrons." She said it so sweet I got hard. Ah, so f*****g hard.
"Then let's play."
Chaos started right there. I didn't have to guess to know she had taken lead in the other side too. With her brothers team and hers they had us rounded.
As Kara had said. She wanted to play. So I played. I blow a kiss and headed in the old factory building near. Of course she followed me in. A full site for us.
She followed just behind. Every move was cut from her. It's like she knew this place but no. She was just smart enough to know the cuts.
Kara made all the right cuts. Got the jump on me even if I knew. She push when I pull and shoved if I swung.
A punch to the gut was nothing to her slap. It hit hard and took my breath. She wanted to play and I won't sympathy her play. I hit her right back. Any small opening I had. Did little when she retreated back and tried to slice me.
"Watch it, baby. Not the face." I warn with a cocky grin.
She grunt annoyance and swing her weapon. I thought fast to an escape. I see one sight leading up and got my head straight. Grabbing her up I leap myself over her to drop her down. She rolls and before she can get to me I make my way to the door and break the knob to keep her coming.
"Nice try."
She grabs a metal object from the ground. She was gonna break the glass. I strapped my weapon back and ran up the stairs before she can reach me.
"Damn, she's determine to a point." I love it. Her eyes fury more than ever before. It was life in her.
"Oh, hunny! No more teasing. Truce remember!" She called out as I find a hidden spot.
I hear her footsteps. Her voice was sweet when she calls for me.
"We're alone, Declan. It's just us."
I hear a small sigh of lie. I knew her trick was to let my guard down. It was foolish for her to think at this time I would.
So, I waited. She'll have to hunt her prey if she wanted it so damn bad.
"Declan! Baby!" She called and called with each step.
"Come on. You're close." I tell myself. Her footsteps got closer. I push myself in the wall more.
Her figure came in sight. Her hands were empty. And her ass was f**k in those pants. She looked way too good.
Stepping out I step on a crack and she chuckle to my mislead. Turning she throw a kick just pass me.
We lead to a small fight against the wall itself. I do everything I can to be gentle. But Kara worked years and it showed. We were matched.
"Give in!" She grunts when her head hits the wall. No scratch she rolls it out. I hold her tight until I can turn her to face me.
"I always give in with you."
Kara cruses and I hold her tight to bring her close to me. She claws at me when I slam my lips to hers. In the anger to build she fought me in a way that made her question her motive. Her hand caresses my hand and my feet moved toward the rails outside. The breeze hit and my hand takes her waist.
She gasp for air when my tongue tastes her neck. Making her moan. She didn't seem care that I had her inches from the railing.
My tongue strives up and nibbles her ear. Whispering. "No teasing."
Pulling back her expression cross until it harden when my hands grabbed her full weight and pushes her body over the rail. She flip and I watch above as her body hits a hard impact. A car saves her and she grunt in anger to her fail.
"Barron!!"
I blow a kiss and make a happy jolt downstairs. She was all too fun.
Taking a different way down, I watch in small sights the fights outdoor. The sound was deathening but not concerning to me.
I hear a wind blow hard as I pass one room. A crashing sound took me in and I scope the room.
A dead bird was on the ground. I shake off the jump scare. "As if she can make it here that fast."
Lies.
Leading back to hall Kara jumps on my back. I throw her off when she bites me. She held on and took me to my knees. She kicks my face and I roll to breathe.
She waited for me to get up and we both spit blood out our mouth. We fought and it was more than death. My hands wave for her to come and she throw her whole body at me.
We fall down some staircase we didn't know was near. We panted and I pull her legs to flare out.
Kara never gave up once. She took every breath I had.
"Use your hammer." She dammed.
I smirk to the knowledge of getting her arm once. I jerked it back and she took it like nothing.
She swings her knife and made a slice through me. I wanted less marks since she got a big day coming up.
I swipe up to block. But f**k, she was fast and she blocks with her other hand to make a connect. The knife sliced my wrist to make a full stab in my shoulder. She pulled out and does it twice. I tried to not to react too much in pain.
But f**k that hurt.
"Mark me anyway, baby. I'm aways yours."
Her eyes didn't show any of the hate. It shine even when she pulled the knife out. I gritted my teeth to hind the pain.
Holding the knife between us. She smiled in her flack of success. She brings the knife close to her and her body closer to me. I hold my hand to her ass that gave me warmth.
Her sharp tongue licked a trail of my blood. She moan to the taste like she truly needed my blood.
"You really have tasted every part of me. Tell me, Kara. Do I taste good?" I asked all too excited.
In the middle of her brawl she was falling back to our fantasy. It was everything I can hold on to when she answered my question.
"Perfect. Like always."
My head moved slightly up and down. Loving every part of this. Before we take it in I had to push away. I wanted more but she wasn't gonna have it here with our men running around.
I turn her wrist to make a small cut on her. Blood was light coming out. Nothing big, my blood covered her breast that I knew she'll like later.
It wasn't long when we use our hands to push back. At this time she was just showing off.
Pulling her hair she smirk to pretty. I almost caved just then. I had to bring my leg up and kick her ribs.
With every hit, she held her own. I started to think she wasn't really trying. And maybe she wasn't.
A clear light hit and we both looked up. It was nice and disappeared fast.
I look back at her to see her pulling her stripe back to their first position. "Are you tired? We can go drink afterwards?" I offered.
She shook her head, her breath rattle out her chest. Her steps towards me said otherwise and I don't want to keep going unless she says so.
Having her eyes on me was a calling. They dropped down and made it up. Saying her name only made her want to touch me.
When her hand found my chest I held her. She pulled back and I wanted to just forget it all so bad. I wanted to just fall back and forget the truth we had but f**k it can't be that easy from one fight.
"Times up." The words echos out.
I tilt my head to understand her words. But before I can register she hauls back every last bit of energy she had and f*****g kicked my big ass through a near broken glass window. All the glass took my fall.
"Ah, damn it."
Everything I did to not let my guard down. She only ever let my down. Every moment she had she easily had me falling back.
However, it was worth it.
I took my time to get up and walk my way down a few steps. I found myself witnessing Kara and her men meeting an exit.
It was one last hit but hell I was gonna make her remember this moment for the ride home.
"Oh, Kara!" I shouted in foggy air.
Wiping the blood away, she turn out of breath. Her smile was still there. Ever men there around her hated me on sight. They all waiting for more. Waiting for her order.
I chuckle to see her full dream after it all. The take they all have for her. She truly brought every men to their knees. And I'm one of them.
"Th-"
Two piercing pain hits me hard when I breathe out my last taste for her. It burns through my body.
My only focus was her. I saw what happen to me without even knowing. Her eyes read fear like it was all taken away from her. That space between her lips pissed me off. She was hurt and neither of us did it.
I fall down to try to hold the blood that pours out of my wound. My head fall to the cold ground, I was damn delusional to believe I can reach for her.
One last touch.
Like this was it.
It was all going away once her figure disappears into a car. I can only assume it was Marco in the black gear pulling her back.
I wonder if she looked away or kept her eyes on me when she disappeared from my sight. Did she keep her eyes on me? How bad will my death hurt her?
All the painful aftermath tried to hit me. I shook it off.
"Ah, damn it. I'll be fine, Kara. I'll be just.."
Trying to breathe it I couldn't move at all. It all just fell once she was gone.
I closed my eyes only to have them force back up. I heard a voice but couldn't look up to the person dragging me. I just did the one thing I could. I lean on the body to my right and let it happen.
I was helped to a car with just me and this person. My head falls back as I focus only on the pain, on the memory of Kara.
The car bolted and made many turns. Once it stop we got to some little place. I didn't question anything until the guy who helped me slaps my face.
"Ah f**k, what the hell."
Another hand touches me and I see a doctor working his way to taking the bullets out.
Fuck it was hell. Yet, nothing. I had worst.
Everything finally came to. I lean back and allowed the doctor to do his work.
"So? Did you come to make sure I was died?" My focus went to Wally who was the last person I thought to come to my recuse.
He brought his chair a bit closer. I looked at him awaiting for him tell me my death call.
"Far from it? She made the call right away. This is for her man." He lean back. Tired from fighting. "The man who did this is gonna get one hell of kick from her. Real hell."
I didn't know how to respond. She was all talk about me dying but the second I'm on the ground she couldn't let me bleed out.
She was close. This all could have been over.
Or was this it. Was this what she wanted?
"Listen, man." Wally grip my shoulder that had just about the same tension. "All I'm saying is keep fighting. You two are something special. So, just fight until the end."
But how far is the end?
When do we begin?
.
.
Kara
Dumbasses.
Everyone single man I know are dumbasses.
I stated one rule and now look where we're at.
"Kara. Boss. I'm sorry. It wasn't suppose to be too serious." The man who disobey my one rule ranted on and on.
The second we got home he was dragged behind me. Everyone followed along as I perp some tools for him.
I kept quiet. Letting him figure things out for himself. All I did was pull my hand out, asking for his gun. His hands shakes as he places it and I gave it to Marco who aspects the gun.
A tray table was set with tools. Once arranged I asked him a question. "What did I say before we left?"
"What?" He whined.
I turn and face him. "What did I say before we left? Where you there?"
He nods. I went up to him. Tapping to his lips. "Words. You're not a baby. Use your words."
"Yes. Yes, I was there."
"As I thought." I stepped back to make space. Asking him once more what I said. He mumble. Afraid to answer.
So, I turn my head slightly to Cole and asked. "You clearly stated no guns. No deaths."
I turn back to see the man's face turn pale. I thought he will piss the second I said looked up to meet his eyes.
I huffed out all the ragged air I held. I tap each tool until I came to one that felt right to my touch. Two small bladed knifes came. The Twins as I call them.
"I said no guns." I whispered.
I held the two small daggers. Facing the man I asked the simplest question I can. "Where?"
He search the daggers and my eyes. Thinking I would. "Come on pick?" I nudge to him.
"Boss, I'll fix it. I won.."
"Sshh, calm down. I've heard you. You're sorry."
He nods. Pleading. "Yes."
"That makes me happy."
My hand rises up to both sides of his face. Without one blink, the daggers pierced through both cheeks. He cried out in pain once I pull back and drop them on the table. He made two bullets hit my Declan and he will received just the same.
After that I headed to my office. I didn't had time to stay around when my fun was f*****g killed over dumbasses.
I couldn't even enjoy dinner with everyone. I had to skip the rest of my day with work. The one thing that doesn't go wrong for me. Plus it won't complain like the others. I had to get away from everyones judgement.
The only person to sit at my side right now, silencing their thoughts is the one who promised to shut up. Marco.
"Kara, we need to talk about the other day."
And of course the bratty one needs attention and hates when Marco and I work without him. He hates it more when we don't include him in on things.
"I'm busy, Cole. Go back to hanging out with your friends before it ends."
It was a mercy warning. He's still young. He had freewill to be young.
Not taking the hint he took it among himself to take a seat. I try not to bat an eye towards him.
"Don't you think you should let one of us take charge. You alway said you never wanted to be anything like Father with our chaotic world. We can handle this without you."
I just lied. I just wanted some make believed life that I knew will never happen.
"Yeah, well, things change. I made a deal with dad. I'm owning up to it. Plus, I'm the eldest."
"But you don't have to. I spoke with the others. And Declan-"
Grabbing a glass paperweight, I throw it over his head. "Don't! You are the last person I would think to go behind my back. Declan did after all these years. Don't make me pull out another knife behind my back with your prints!"
I have enough people betraying me as it is.
"Sis. I was just suggesting."
"Are you in charger."
"No, but."
"But nothing." I don't have time nor energy to explain everything he can't bear to know. My brothers are too dull to even think they can now. So I have to. Whether I like it or not. It's my time.
My eyes never cut so deep than it did right now. Especially at Cole. "You can leave unless there's something important to talk about."
Cole's face had such a drop. It wasn't like that since he was a kid. He lean towards the desk to catch my gaze more. I don't bother but snarl at his action. "Just don't forget what Father says. Don't let your emotions cloud you decisions. That's a mess you don't want to clean."
My emotions is what got me here. And killing it off will end this. I just have to find a way to kill that one last bit that I can't get rid of.
I shook my head and pull out a file. Suggesting he do work if he's gonna stay in my office babbling nonsense.
As I work I feel the same hard glares from Marco as I did from everyone downstairs.
It was annoying.
"You got something to say?" He shrugs at me. "Just say it."
He took my side and peels off the wall he was hovering from. Always aspect my work.
"I've been quiet even after Space. But taking a step and making sure you are current of what you decide isn't bad. After all you seem a bit hellbound."
My chair turn and my nails claw at the arms. "I made the call. And Space was just letting out some steam."
Cole chuckle and I dear to throw another paperweight.
"You're lucky he called me." I roll my eyes.
Marco kept his talk. Reminding me of Space's rule. The guy who ran the bar was an old friend of his. He found out the truth years ago. For his safety he took a pleading offer. Now he runs the bar as exchange of protecting his family.
"Clear it all. Your head and heart included. I don't want to see you-"
"I'm fine. My head in fine." My heart isn't. I can't even bother with it.
"Kara. Just think some things through next time. Once you're the Head Boss making those slips will just-"
"I got it, okay. I just need you three to have my back. Out of all the Head Bosses. I have three right hand men. So even if I cut another tongue, I need to know you three won't just flip on me. Otherwise, I have no choice then to.."
"We're more than family. Your threats made a point before." Cole blurted out. His eyes widen in a fear.
I had made it clear many times that if any of them ever betrayed me. Even now when my time is coming I'll make my last point. Family goes long but envy will kill that. They all have something precious they want to keep alive. Unlike me.
Dead and Alive.
"You three will be title in more once the time come. Be aware like I explained before. So know this. Hard decisions will have to be made. Mainly during the start. Don't worry yourselves too much about me. Alright."
It's a call I made and needed to do for my 3 loyal men. Yet, I don't want them to think otherwise. I've been good on my own. I still need to prove that.
Cole's face fall through. Accepting my words.
I offer King lines for them all. It's just a title for Marco. A higher one for Cole. And Wally is still proven. Their titles will be all my right hand men above Capos. I wanted to show my gratitude over the years and years to come.
"Your back is covered, Kara. Believe me." Marco's hand took my shoulder. His words fall out from the day he sent his oath to me.
In truth. As long as Marco is here I can still do this. And if I lose him, all my sense will die. I'll have no trust in this world.
I already lost Declan. Gaining him back seems too impossible. I made such a mess.
I can't runaway like he suggest.
How would that look? Wouldn't I just be fooling myself?
It was a throbbing ache I cause myself daily.
"Our time is slim. Let's just cross over in good, Kara. A good start even." My core tighten knowing it's right there. And starting our good only meant what my take is in all this.
"f**k. I know."
Buzzz
I take my phone close to myself. Reading the messenger and context of it through my morals out the window.
"I need you."
Doesn't matter how many hours, days I do. It all is shorten in my fall act of loving him. Even with a flaw show I gave him. I still had to give my men something. Yet, no matter how deep we are in. My one attachment can take over.
Fuck.
No thought. I just left. Both Cole and Marco demanded me to stay.
