AN: Yep still have a bit of the writers bug! So here is another update! Enjoy!
Shaylee knew it was a bad idea to go back to Kansas City, but when she got the call that Lonnie had been killed, she had to go back . Out of all the men she had gotten to know, Lonnie had always been one of her favorites. He had taken her under his wing and treated her like a daughter. He shouldn't have died because she refused to go back. Maybe Geno knew that she would come back if Lonnie was killed. So there she was standing in all black and watching as they lowered Lonnie's coffin into the ground. Geno and his new girl where sitting across from her. Geno staring at her, with his big brown eyes and the girl glaring her down with her green ones. She knew she was going to bring attention. But she had always promised Lonnie that she would be there if he passed.
As people started to leave, Shaylee waited. She knew Geno was going to want to talk to her. And sure enough, he sent his girl away with one of his men. He got to his feet and walked around to her.
"This is new." Geno said as he ran a finger down the tattoo on her right shoulder. Shaylee could feel a shiver run down her spine. She refused to look at him. She knew what would happen if she did at that moment. She would wrap her arms around him and be back into the life, she had refused to go back too. She couldn't deny he was looking good.
"It's a reminder of what I left behind." Shaylee said as she lightly pushed his hand away from her. "How did it happen? Was it because of me?"
"Yes." Geno almost growled. "He knew what would happen if he came back with out you. Guess I pulled the trigger a bit to early."
That sent Shaylee's anger in full force. She glared over at him. "He shouldn't have been put down because I refused to come back to a man that's taken. I've been gone for over five years Geno. Just let me go."
Geno reached up and moved a strand of blond hair out of her face. He could see the anger in her face and he couldn't help but smirk down at her. She was always so adorable when she was angry. Geno had loved that fire in her eyes. It did something to him that no other woman could bring out of him. He didn't pay attention to the sound of a roaring mustang coming up the street, but the sound seemed to grab Shaylee's attention.
She pulled away from Geno with a knowing smile and shook her head. "My ride is here."
Geno gave the girl an odd look then looked up to see the black mustang coming to a screeching halt just behind his BMW. A man got out of the drivers seat. He leaned up against his car watching them, smoking on a cigarette. Geno knew exactly who the man was. He had seen photos of the bald, tattooed Gang Lord. But pictures didn't do the man justice. His big blue eyes giving Geno an intimidating look. As if daring him to put his hands on her.
"You really going back with him?" Geno asked with a growl when Shaylee started to walk the other man's way. Shaylee rolled her eyes and turned back to look at Geno. Her smile still plastered of her face. A smile she had once been able to put on her face. "Does he know? Does he know what you are? That you love him?"
The smile quickly left her face and was replaced with a sad frown. "I can't love some one I don't know. You always did make things out of something that isn't there. It started out as him being the uncle of one of my students. You made it into something more the moment you sent Lonnie to come get me that night."
Shaylee turned back around and walked up to Billy Darley. He glared down at her for a second when she got to his side then his eyes flashed back up at Geno. Eying the man and taking in his appearance. Geno knew what the man was doing. He was taking him in as competition and was sizing him up. Geno had don't the same thing on more than one occasion. He said something to Shaylee. Something that Geno couldn't here. He didn't know if Shaylee responded, all he saw was her take the cigarette out of his mouth and take a deep drag. Billy gave her an annoyed look, but didn't seem to expect to get the cigarette back as he dug into his pocket and got out another smoke. He lit it and blew smoke away from her. She placed a hand on his chest and smiled up at him. once again Geno couldn't hear what she had said, but she gave Billy one of her best smiles and allowed him to open the passenger door. A man got out and engulfed her in a smothering hug and Shaylee let out a giggle as she pushed him away and ruffled up his maroon colored hair. He got in the back of the mustang and Shaylee climbed into the front seat. Billy looked back up at Geno with a smug look on his face. He tossed the cigarette down as he shut the door for Shaylee then walked around the car to get into the drivers seat. Geno knew what that look was all about. Billy now had Shaylee, and he wasn't scared to fight for her.
"If a fight is what you want." Geno said with a smirk. He wasn't willing to give up on Shaylee like she had been hoping. He should have followed her when she had left. He promised her that he would. But right before he was getting ready to leave, his father walked in. Geno put all the blame on his former girlfriend, but refused to let her become a target. Maybe his father had known the truth the whole time. He had been taken with Shaylee just as much as Geno had been. Even mentioning rings only months after meeting her. No Geno wasn't ready to give her up. And Billy Darley had better be ready for a war on his door step.
OOOOO
Shaylee leaned back comfortably in the passenger seat of the mustang as she puffed away on the cigarette she had swiped from Billy. The car was deathly silent. No one from the back seat dared to speak. They still didn't understand why Billy had dragged them all to Kansas City for Shaylee.
"Thank you Billy." Shaylee said breaking the silence. Billy glanced over at her but said nothing. He knew he didn't have to with her. She some how understood him. A thought that was starting to scare him. "How did you know where I was?"
"They aren't the only ones with connections." Billy growled back at her. The men in the back held their breath. Waiting for Billy to pull his gun on the girl. "So was that the ex?"
"Yep." Shaylee said with a heavy sigh. She looked out the side view mirror and grabbed Billy's arm. He looked back in his rear view mirror and got his gun out. "I should have known. Billy I'm sorry."
"Just shut the fuck up." Billy said as he smirked over at her. "I knew what I was walking into the moment I came to get you."
"And you fucking bring Joe!" Shaylee growled at him. Billy popped the glove box and handed Shaylee the extra gun he kept there. Shaylee checked the chamber to see if it was loaded. The men in the back seat just sat there in complete shock.
"Get your fucking guns out morons!" Billy growled at the men in the back seat. They quickly obeyed and glanced behind them. The black BMW they had been parked behind was now following them.
"The car is bullet proof. Aim for the tires." Shaylee said as she reached over and placed a hand over Billy's on that had been laying on the gear shift. She rolled down the window as Billy turned his hand over and took a hold of hers. Shaylee felt a shutter rush down her spine and she squeezed his hand. He returned the gesture then let go of her hand so he could shift.
"Right, Billy!" Shaylee demanded and Billy took a left into on coming traffic. The car swerved a bit, as Shaylee held up the gun to show the man following them, that she wasn't going to go back to him with out a fight.
Geno growled and slammed on the gas. She wanted a fight. A fight they used to do together. She should be in his car, not a man like Billy Darley. She was supposed to be his criminal princess. Not a street thug. But there she was looking at him with those big gray eyes, and a menacing smile on her face. She was enjoying this rush. Geno stomped on the breaks and let the car speed off. There was no point in pursuing when it was just him. He wasn't sure how many men Billy had piled in the back seat. And he didn't want to make a mistake and hit Shaylee.
"Why the fuck did he stop?" Billy growled. He wasn't sure if he was annoyed with missing out on a bit of action or worried that he was driving into a trap.
"It's not over. He's alone in the car and he's not an idiot." Shaylee said with a heavy sigh as she placed the gun back in the glove box. "If he follows and he starts shooting, there is a chance he could get me. And he doesn't know who you have in the back seat. It could just be Joe, or you could have more guys. He's going to go regroup. He'll be back for me."
"You that good or something?" Billy sent her a suggestive look. Shaylee giggled and pushed him playfully.
"Get your filthy head out of the gutter." Shaylee said getting a smirk in return. "I almost married that asshole. And like me…. he doesn't share well. It's more of returning what he believes is his. Even though he get married next week. He just cant seem to let me go."
Billy reached over and placed a hand on her leg. He was expecting her to slap his hand away. But instead she placed her hand over his and intertwined their fingers. Billy knew the men in the back where staring at them as if they had both grown two heads. They had no clue what was going on and where a bit confused on the way Billy was treating this girl. Not like she was some chick he wanted to sleep with like they had all thought, but as if she was his equal.
Shaylee out of no where sat up in her seat then turned on Joe. "Who the fuck is watching Juniper!"
Billy chuckled and squeezed her leg. "Elvin has him. The kid is probably getting spoiled rotten right now."
Shaylee took a deep breath and turned back around in her seat. "She better be spoiling him or I'm kicking her ass."
OOOO
When they got back to Boston, Shaylee was fast asleep in the passenger seat. Still holding on to Billy's hand. He found it quite difficult to shift gears, but he wasn't going to wake her up by taking his hand away. Hell he wasn't even sure if it would wake her up. but the feeling of her holding on to his hand was comforting to him some how. This girl could hold her own, but she still held his hand like she still needed him beside her.
He got out of his car and went around to the passenger side to get Shaylee out of the car. He looked at his crew that where getting out of the car as well. "Joe, go let Red know that we are back. The rest of you go home. Get some rest. I have a feeling shit is going to go down soon."
The men nodded and started to head in different directions. Billy carried Shaylee up to his apartment and placed her on his unmade bed. he covered her up with the only clean blanket he had and stepped back into the doorway. He watched her for a few minutes and smirked. He wasn't sure how the girl had done it. How she had broke him down so easily. Becoming one of the most important things in his life. He hadn't even realized what she had meant to him, till Elvin had told him the she had left town. Right then he was determined to bring her back. And to his surprise, she was happy to see him. He could see the smile on her face when she turned away from Geno and saw him. Right then he knew he was going to fight tooth and nail for this girl.
He shrugged of his leather jacked and placed it on the chair in the corner of the room, then headed back to the kitchen. He was in need of a drink. He opened his beer and sat down at the kitchen table when Joe walked into the apartment. He took one look at his brother and smirked.
"Don't fucking start." Billy growled. Joe chuckled and got a beer out of the fridge and joined his brother at the kitchen table.
"So what is her story exactly?" Jo asked and Billy shrugged. "Oh come on Billy! We where nearly in a chaise because of her. And the way she handled that piece. Like she had done it a thousand times before. What kind of trouble is she?"
"The mofia kind." Billy replied taking another swig of his beer. Joe's eyes widened in surprise.
"Fuck Billy." Joe said as he ran a hand through his hair. "Is she really fucking worth it?"
Billy leaned forwards and glared his brother down. "Is the smile she puts on Juniper's face worth it?"
Joe rolled his eyes. "Fuck! Yes."
Billy smirked over at his brother. He wasn't sure how. But the damn girl had already wriggled her way into his friends and family's hearts. He knew they would all protect her with their lives if they had too. He didn't even have to bring up how he was starting to feel about her or demand her protection. The girl was something they all needed.
As if she knew they where talking about her, Shaylee walked out of the bedroom still wrapped in the thick navy blanket Billy had put on her. She walked into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around Billy's shoulders. "Got another, or do I just swipe yours."
Billy nodded towards the fridge and Shaylee headed that way. Joe eying the interaction between them cautiously. Billy watched her get into his fridge with a look Joe had never seen in his eyes. and Shaylee smirked feeling his eyes on her. Joe wasn't sure what the hell was going on with them. The last he had heard, Billy was doing his best to avoid the girl. Not knowing what happened the day he had taken Tommy to rehab.
"Is there something I should know perhaps…." Joe started and received a glare from his brother to drop it, but Joe's curiosity was stronger than Billy's threatening eyes. "Should I be expecting you around more?"
Shaylee smirked as she came and sat down at the table with the boys. She opened the beer bottle with her arm then tossed the lid over at Joe. "You getting sick of me already Joe boy? I'm crushed."
Joe rolled his eyes and looked between his brother and Shaylee. Neither of them willing to give up any more information. "Fine, you all don't want to talk. Then I'm going to fucking bed. screw the both of you."
Shaylee snickered into her beer as Joe got to his feet and headed back to his bed room. "There's that Darley temper. I was starting to think he was an alien or something."
Billy smirked and leaned closer to her. Shaylee smiled and put her beer down as she leaned closer to him as well. "What are you thinking about Billy Darley? Am I too much trouble for you?"
Billy put a hand on the back of her head and guided her even closer to him. He was surprised she was allowing him to guide her, when just a week before she had pulled away from him. He didn't stop guiding her to him, till she was straddling him. Shaylee looked at him with those big gray eyes of hers an he could feel himself twitch under her.
"Im not good at these kinds of things." Billy informed her and Shaylee shot him a playful look.
"Your reputation says other wise."
Billy growled and grabbed onto her hips. "You know what I fucking mean."
Shaylee bit her lower lip. "I told you not to go falling for me Billy."
"Too fucking bad. When have I ever been one to follow rules?" Billy asked and Shaylee's eyes widened in surprise. Had he just admitted to falling for her. Her big gray eye met his blue ones, and she had her answer. She couldn't stop herself. Her lips came crashing down on his causing him to smile and playfully nip at her bottom lip.
"Shit." Shaylee said when she pulled up for air. "God this is what I was avoiding all these years? What the fuck was I thinking?"
"We haven't even gotten to the good part yet." Billy growled as he nibbled on her neck. "Bedroom?"
Shaylee shook her head. "Right here. Right now, before my head starts over thinking and I stop this."
Billy didn't have to be told twice. He unzipped his pants and pulled them down enough to allow himself to jump free. He was glad the girl had decided to wear a dress. He reached under it and tore her underwear away from her opening. He moved her over him and glanced up at her, asking if it was still ok with his eyes.
"Don't start being a fucking gentleman now." Shaylee growled. Billy smirked and slammed her down over him. Shaylee let out a yelp and dug her hands into his shirt. She didn't have time to adjust to him before he was moving her on top of him. she let out groan. "Fuck, Billy."
Billy smirked and attacked her neck with kisses and bites. He picked her up and placed her feet on the ground. She growled in frustration before she realized what he was doing. He was backing her up against the counter. She turned her back on him, he was back inside her before she could comprehend what was going on. bent over the counter and a hand in her hair. He wasn't going easy on her and she was enjoying every minute of it. each rough thrust, each bite mark he left on her exposed skin. She screamed his name at her climax and she felt him thrust ones more, deep and hard. He groaned in her ear and let his movements slow. He brought them back to the chair and held her too him as he emptied everything into her. He knew that was the stupidest thing he could do to a woman he hardly knew, but this was Shaylee. He had never been the same around her. He leaned into him and turned just enough to get a kiss from his lips.
"Shit that was hot." Shaylee said as Billy wrapped his arms tighter around her. She got off him and straddled him again. she put her hands on the back of his neck and placed her forehead against his. "You do realize what this means right? Are you up for that?"
"Round two?" Billy asked with a mischievous smile. He then chuckled when she gave him a stern look. "That was my answer baby."
Shaylee couldn't hold back the smile that crept across her face.
