“Alright, Alright! The plan was for us to kill you and take Lexi. He said she was promised to his son and he doesn’t like being cheated.”
“Where is he right now?” My voice gets deeper as I get into war mode.
“He has a building over on 77th. It’s where the girls are, the ones he traffics. You can find him there. See man. I told you what you wanted to know.”
“True. You just bought yourself less pain.” I take out my gun and shoot him straight through the head spitting on him as I walk away.
“You ready to go?” Ramone asks me, loading his Glock.
“Yes.” I respond grabbing my holster from the table. We all walk through the door and my phone rings. I pull it from my pocket and alarm bells go off when I see it is my mom. Fuck! She is at the hospital with Lexi.
“Mami, que pasa?” I ask her what’s wrong, my heart thumping.
“She is awake, hijo. She just woke up and she is asking for you.” Shit. I wanted to be there when she awoke. I figured I had more time. My mind is torn needing to see this through and end these bastards. My heart on the other hand is clamoring to go to her.
“I am on my way mama.”
“Very good my son. I will tell her.” Turning to my brother and Manny I tell them the situation.
“Lexi is awake. I need to go to her and check on her. Find them and bring them back here. Wait for me.” No way in hell I want to miss what we have planned for them. Dead fucks.
“You got it.”
I make it to the hospital in record time. I walk into the room as her stomach is being monitored. “Sax!” She says as she reaches for me. Walking to the bed, I sit on it, pulling her into my arms, smelling her hair. Jesus. I know in the broader scheme of things being shot in the arm is low on the scale, but it hasn’t stopped my heart from feeling like it was being dragged through the dark. Not seeing her smiling, mischievous, dirty, smirk as she tempts me to fuck here anywhere, we are. Having her say my name right now, with her arms open for me, brings back all the times she has laid there for me, spread, wet, and swollen. My body is coming back to life and thank fuck my world is set right. “Where were you? I woke up and you weren’t here?” She asks hiccupping as she cries into my chest. Rubbing her head and rocking her back and forth, I choose my words carefully.
“I am sorry my love. I was taking care of some unfinished business, involving what put you in here.”
“Is it done?” She asks, her voice low, hesitant but determined.
“Not quite, mi amore. But don’t worry about that. Tell me how you are feeling. Any pain?”
“No. They gave me pain medicine right before you came in. Did they-did they tell you about the baby?” She whispers this has she buries her head under my arm. So innocent sometimes.
“Yes. They told me while you were still unconscious, baby. Are you not happy about it?” I can feel myself getting defensive as I think about her not wanting my kid. Especially since that is all I have been thinking about from the moment I met her.
“I’m happy. I just...just didn’t know if you would be. You know, us being married for only a short time and all.” She says, her face pleading with me to want it too.
“Look at me.” I wait for her to raise her head and look me in my eyes. “What do you think I have been trying to do? Soaking your pussy in my seed every chance I got. Baby, nothing makes me feel more like a man than knowing I did that to you. I love you so fucking much, Lexi. You and our baby.” When our lips touch for the first time in mere hours it feels like I have been given a second chance.
“I just want to know the truth, Saxson. Did my dad have something to do with this?” I take in her face, so serious and filled with trepidation at learning the truth. However, I also read anger and determination. I won’t lie to her.
“Yes. Yes, he did.” I look at her, not sure what her reaction will be. What I certainly don’t expect is her answer.
“Make sure he pays.” She says, her face full of the venom I feel. My fucking wife is made for me.
“I promise baby.” Right then my phone buzzes. It’s Ramone telling me that they have found them both and are headed back. I can see her dozing off as her medicine starts to work. Leaning into her ear I tell her, “I will be back. I promise.” She doesn’t move. My mom walks back in as I say goodbye to her thanking her for being here. Now I am just anxious to get this done so I can come back to my family. MY family. My wife and child. Fuck that feels good to say.
