Page 62 of You Will Obey

“You better come back to me in one fucking piece, Deacon,” Elijah said.

I turned to him and kissed him. “You better fucking believe I will.”

“The sun will be rising by the time you all get there,” he said.

“We’ll be ready. You be careful, alright, baby?” I grabbed Eli by the back of his neck and pulled him down to me and pressed my forehead to him. “Look after my wives.”

He laughed. “Maybe we should switch places.”

“Don’t be that way.” I kissed him and let him go.

“I’ll keep them safe at a distance,” Eli said.

I chuckled and nodded. My wives did have claws. “Speaking of, let me talk to them.” Before I could walk out of the armory, the door opened and all three of my wives entered with some of my children. “Darlings, I was just coming to see you.”

“Deacon, are you sure this is best?” Charlene asked as she approached, wrapping her arms around my neck. “You really don’t owe those vampires anything.”

“If I want to keep my alliance strong with Kendrick, I have to do this. Not doing so will only cause a rift between him and Elliot, because it will cause a problem between him and Ara. It could get ugly. If he does have to pick sides, I want the decision he has to make to be easy when he chooses me. We’ll do everything in our power to get back in one piece, luv,” I said, then kissed her soft, full lips. Damn, I had to get back because I really wanted to see if I could have a threesome with Charlene and Elijah.

“You better come back to me, my darling husband,” Charlene said.

“I will.” We kissed again and then I gave my attention to my other wives, kissing and hugging Sanese and Nicholette. “Be safe, my lovelies,” I said.

“Am I one of your ‘lovelies’,” Elijah teased. He stood there observing everything with his arms crossed over his muscular chest.

“No, you’re my asshole that I get to enjoy,” I said.

“Go fuck yourself,” he shot back.

I laughed.

Charlene coughed and I looked at her and she pointed discreetly to my two teenage, twin daughters Jessica and Selena who were as beautiful as their mother, Sanesé. “Language,” she lightly chastised.

“Auntie, we’ve heard waaay worse than that,” Jessica stated in all of her fourteen year-old sass.

“Seen it, too,” Selena added.

I frowned. “What have you seen?”

“Fighting, cursing, stuff like that,” Selena said with a nonchalant shrug.

“Ahh, okay,” I said, nodding. I did try to shield my daughters from most of what went on in my house. However, when they turn sixteen, I might let them date. “Anyway, your auntie is right. Daddy has a dirty mouth.”

“Uncle too,” Nicolette retorted, the comment directed at Elijah, who just smirked.

“Daddy forgot himself, is all,” Sanesé said. “Come, it’s past your bedtime.”

“Dad, please don’t get hurt,” my teenage son, Santiago said, the fear on his handsome face nearly broke my heart.

“Don’t worry. I have so much to live for. I’ll return. For now, take care of your mother, aunties, and siblings,” I said. I kissed him and my other children who’d gathered. “Okay, go now, some of you should already be in bed.” Nicolette, Charlene, and Sanesé decided to usher the children out of the room, leaving me alone with Eli.

I walked over to him, giving him one more kiss before heading out to meet up with my pack. Those who were leaving with me. Drake was with me, as well as two of my other Beta Capos and ninety-seven other wolves. They were already armed, which was smart on Elijah’s part to warn them of the nature of the meeting, so they’d come prepared. We climbed into our cars, my son joined me in mine, then we took off.

“So, we’re really immune to dragon venom?” Drake asked.

I smiled and nodded. “It’s a hell of a kick if you get it in your system. I had to fuck Elijah’s brains out until I was satisfied.”

“Well, I might just have to play with it with my wives later.”
