Chapter 12

Sparring & Surprises

Spade

Finding out I’m going to be a dad again has me like a little kid in a candy store, with a stupid grin plastered across my face. All week my wife has been craving pizza, which only makes me think that baby boy in her belly is a thousand percent mine. Throwing it in Jay’s face any second I can has been fun too, but I know I’m taking it too far when I see the Carver peeking out of him every so often. Something is going on with him, but I can’t place my finger on what it is exactly. Some nights he goes off by himself and comes back covered in blood. I think he forgot that I have access to these cameras, and I see. I see how he’s trying to hide his kills, but I just leave him be. One of his biggest pet peeves is to be questioned, so I’m letting him be for now.

Pulling into the mill, I put the car in park and get out. Jade has an appointment today with Kai Wang. So I’m here to make sure his order is complete and accounted for before loading it up into the van. But before I go to help, I need to go see my wife. I haven’t kissed her all day, and I need those luscious lips against mine.

Opening the door to the mill, I walk in and hear skin slapping skin. I look at the ring, doing a double take. What the fuck? I climb in the ring, walk up to the kid sparring with my pregnant wife, rear back, and punch him in the temple. Unfortunately for him, he drops like a sack of potatoes. Staring at him laid out on the mat, I laugh, not seeing my Babygirl come at me fast as hell. I jump back as she swings at me, ducking and weaving as she continues to come at me. I circle around the ring, laughing as she yells at me.

“You motherfucker!” she spits, and I howl.

“What’s wrong, Babygirl?” I taunt as she comes at me again, but I spin around her, slapping her ass.

“You know damn well what’s wrong. Asshole!” she yells, tossing her headgear at me. I duck as it flies past my head and out of the ring.

“Maybe he should pay attention to his surroundings, or better yet, be grateful it was me who found you like this. Jay would've plunged a knife into his gut and your mats would've gotten splattered with red. I think I did you a favor,” I say, dancing on my feet, waiting for her next move.

“Get fucked, you idiot. I was just sparring. Ya know it’s healthy for me to exercise while pregnant, right? You fuckfaces want to keep knocking me up, and I’d like to stay fit, so fucking deal with it,” she spits and I raise a brow.

“You want a workout, Babygirl? I’ll give you one along with some hard dick.” I laugh, and she growls.

“I think your dick has done enough, don’t ya think?” she retorts and I shake my head.

“Hmm. I don’t think so, baby,” I say, looking at my wrist like I’m looking at the time. “It’s been all day since I’ve been inside that tight cunt. So no. It could do a lot more damage.” I grin and she chucks her gloves at me, hitting me in the chest.

“God, Spade. You’ve pissed me the fuck off. Now go do what you came here to do and leave me be,” she orders as she turns heading for the ropes, but I run for her, wrapping my arms around her waist hauling her away from the ropes.

“Put me down, you jerk!” she yells as I place her on her feet, spinning her little body in my arms.

“Kiss me and I’ll leave you be,” I say, and she shakes her head.

“No, I just want to punch you one time in that fucking mouth of yours.” She growls, trying to push me away, but I cage her in against the ropes, pressing my body into hers.

“Come on, baby. Kiss me. You know you want to,” I say and she continues to fight me, thrashing against me. I wrap my hand around her throat, squeezing as her eyes widen at me. “Babygirl, if you don’t fucking kiss me, I’m going to take you on this mat and show you who is boss. So, unless you want these men to see you in a compromising position, I suggest you do as you’re told,” I command, as her body shivers at my words. She stands on her tippy toes and places a soft kiss against my lips. I moan as her tongue glides against mine for a split second, then she pulls away as I let go of her throat. I look down at her and rub my nose against hers, then take a step back. She grins at me, then slaps me across the face. I’m stunned momentarily, then grin back at her. She’s fucking feisty today.

“I’ll let you have that one, but wait until we get home,” I threaten as she winks, bending over through the ropes and stepping onto the floor, walking away towards the stairs.

Adjusting my hard cock, I head outside to meet up with Romeo and Angelo. Exiting the mill, I walk over to the shed as I see them loading the guns into crates. I take the clipboard off the wall and look over the order.

“Make sure each rocket launcher is loaded into the crate by itself. Last time, one almost went off, and we don’t need to blow up their warehouse, so be smart,” I order, and Angelo nods, opening up a new crate, filling it with hay and laying the heavy weapon down, carefully checking it over before covering it with more hay and sealing the wood box shut.

“Triple check this shit, one crate at a time, before we nail these shut,” I say as Romeo opens the first crate. “Twelve Uzis and ten AR15s in this box.” Moving over to the next one. “This one should have two 1100 Malones and three sniper rifles,” I say, moving along down the line as they count and load the van. “Have you checked the suitcases of pistols and Glocks, and the duffel bag of ammo?” I ask.

“Yes, sir. Boss lady came out earlier and was helping us sort out the order,” Angelo says as they lift the last crate into the van.

“You better not have let her lift anything heavy,” I say sternly, with a raised brow.

“N-no, sir. We did all the heavy lifting. She just pointed around the shed, giving us orders,” Romeo states, and I nod.

“Good. Thank you. I appreciate all your help. Go let the boss know we are ready to deliver,” I order, taking off my leather jacket, strapping a holster to my chest.

Grabbing a few pistols and knives. I load my body with weapons while I wait for my wife to come out and get herself armed. Kai may be trustworthy, but as of late, we trust no one and will have reinforcements in place just in case shit goes south. Some families are underestimating us, especially Jade, using the death of both her husband and child against her as her weakness, but little do they realize the hell she’s going to rain down on these mother fuckers. Her impulsive ass wanted to go to war months ago, but we told her not yet. We're waiting for the perfect moment to strike, to show the others what we are truly capable of. Then they will fall in line and bow at her feet like the queen she is.

Speaking of my queen, she exits the back door of the mill wearing black ripped jeans and a red tank top with her hair tied up tight in a ponytail. She walks over to me and I hand over her holster, holding it open so she can slip her arms into it. After loading herself with weapons, I pick up her new matching black leather jacket, once again holding it open for her. Once she's situated, I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss along the column of her neck.

“You look ravishing, as always. You ready to get this over with?” I whisper, licking the shell of her ear. She whimpers in my hold but spins in my arms, looking up at me with those gorgeous green eyes of hers.

“I love when you wear a holster. Have I ever told you that?” She grins, giving me a wink before placing a soft kiss against my lips. I pull away, cupping her face.

“Well damn, Babygirl. Now my dick is hard.” I laugh and she shakes her head, taking a step back.

“Come on, Babyboy. Let’s go do this so you can take me home to do wicked things to me.” She smirks, walking over to the passenger side of the van.

“You damn right I am,” I reply, walking to the driver’s side, opening the door and climbing in. We pull out and head to the opposite side of town.

“Everything in place?” she asks and I nod.

“Yes, Boss Lady. We are all good,” I say, and she takes a deep breath.

“I’m not going to lie, babe. I have a bad feeling. Was everything good when you left the house?” she asks, and I nod again.

“Yes, Ryder was heading out to pick up Jaxon from Pre-k and Jay was hanging with Hazel in the backyard on the swings,” I assure her.

“Okay then, it's not them. Just keep your eyes peeled and don’t get distracted. I haven’t felt this uneasy feeling in a while,” she admits.

“We got back up. Don’t worry. If shit goes sideways, you know what to do,” I say and she smiles big.

“I sure the fuck do.” She grins. This girl and her trigger finger. It doesn’t take long for us to get across town and enter the Wang compound. We stop at the security booth, give the man our names, and enter through the open gates. We slowly drive around the circular driveway, parking the van facing the exit in case we need to get out fast. I put the van in park and get out, rounding the front to Jade’s side and opening the door for her. Grabbing her hand, she steps out and we both wait for Kai to grace us with his presence as we lean against the back of the van.

Finally, two men step out of the front door and Jade nudges me. I follow her line of sight as my fist automatically tightens.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. Fucking Monty.
