He kept talking even when Amond’s eyes narrowed and his pissed off energy filled the room. When he was done talking, the man’s demeanor didn’t change even a little bit.
“Put her in the hospital?” he whispered.
“Yep. But he’s dead. His brother unfortunately isn’t. They were bad seeds from the beginning and grew that way, taught by a dad who by Lydie’s account was even f**kin’ worse.”
“Jesus, f**k.” Amond was still whispering.
“That’s about it,” Jake agreed.
“I didn’t know any of this shit,” Amond told him.
“If Lydie didn’t share, I’d still be trying to crack that nut. Josie didn’t give it to anyone. Not even Gagnon, until recently,” Jake replied.
“This guy have a name?” Amond asked.
Now, thank f**k, their conversation was getting better.
“You wading in?” Jake asked back.
“Fuck yeah,” Amond said.
“Davis Malone, the uncle,” Jake shared immediately. “Think he’s bankrolled by Boston Stone, a local big man who has a small dick, Josie wasn’t interested in it, made that clear and he wants to make her pay by gettin’ Lavender House. They got counsel by the name of Terry Baginski whose ass I unfortunately tapped a long time ago, didn’t enjoy it, didn’t call, and I don’t know if she’s just a bitch or a bitch with a grudge. But she’s waded in too.”
“How dirty you want it?” Amond asked and Jake didn’t exactly understand the question but he also didn’t care.
“I’m in love with her so I want her breathing easy and doin’ that quick. That house is all she’s got left of her grandmother. I got her in a good place where she feels safe with me, my kids, but I figure it’s still the only place she truly feels safe. She doesn’t wanna let it go. They’ll never get that house but even the threat of it is gonna f**k with her head and I’m not good with that. Stone has the power and money to drag this out and I’m not good with Josie dealing with that either. They’re also bringing up bad shit she should not ever have to face. So I don’t know what you’re asking but you feel like getting dirty, however that comes about, I’m not gonna stand in your way.”
“I can get very dirty,” Amond told him.
“I’ll repeat, I’m not gonna stand in your way.”
“Where are you with dirty?” Amond asked.
“My hands gotta stay clean seein’ as I got a woman and kids I need to see to after this is done.”
Amond didn’t miss a beat before he asked, “You’re in love with her?”
And Jake didn’t miss a beat before he answered, “Absolutely.”
“She loves you,” Amond informed him.
“I know,” Jake replied.
Amond held his eyes.
Then he whispered, “Fuck, that kills.”
Fortunately, Jake was not, nor would ever be, in the position to feel his pain.
Still, he got him, but he said nothing.
“I’m gettin’ Henry’s f**ked up vibe right about now,” Amond shared.
“She’s in good hands,” Jake told him.
“She been to your titty bar?” he asked.
“Prefer strip club, man, and yeah. She advises the girls on how to do their hair to get maximum tips.”
At that, Amond burst out in deep, loud laughter.
Jake let himself smile as he did.
When he was done, Amond gave him the stamp of approval by saying, “We’re good.”
“No offense,” Jake replied. “But I wouldn’t care if we weren’t. She’s mine and that’s not ever gonna change. But for her, I’m obliged. She’s essentially had one woman as her entire family her whole life. That one woman was a really f**kin’ good one but Josie deserves more. I’m givin’ her that. You keep things good with all of us that gives her more. And I want her to have everything.”
“Point made, brother,” Amond replied quietly, his eyes never leaving Jake’s.
“Excellent,” Jake returned.
Amond grinned. “Now I’m in the mood to check out your talent. Gotta get my crew out here, bring a roll of fifties ‘cause I snuck a peek, man, and gotta say, bumfuck Maine has got some seriously fine tail.”
And that was when Jake grinned.

Holding her down with his hands at her wrists in the pillow over her head, Jake rode his woman.
The only thing she could use to latch on with were her legs and her pu**y so she had her legs wrapped tight around the backs of his thighs and her pu**y was pulsing around his cock.
Jesus.
Heaven.
Just like Josie, she was getting there fast.
“Hold on, baby,” he whispered against her mouth as she panted against his.
“Jake,” she breathed, squirming under him.
He rolled his hips, thrust in and he knew he hit the spot when her pu**y clutched him tight.
Jesus.
Heaven.
“Hold on, Josie.”
“God.”
He kept taking her.
She kept squirming, panting, her legs tightening.
“Let me have my hands, darling,” she begged.
“Let me ride you, honey,” he returned, rolling his h*ps back, powering in, and getting a soft, sexy gasp.
Beautiful.
He kissed her, driving his tongue inside as he drove his dick into her.
Her head tilted at the same time it came off the bed so she could press her mouth against his to get more.
He drove in harder.
She tore her mouth from his, turning her head to the side, whimpering, “I can’t hold on.”
“Then let go.”
She let go, he heard it and felt it. Gliding his hands up, he threaded his fingers in hers and she clasped tight as she moaned low and used his thighs as leverage to lift her h*ps into his thrusting ones.
He took her harder.
She kept whimpering, moaning, panting and clutching him with everything she had, her fingers releasing and gripping each time she took his cock.
Gorgeous.
So f**king gorgeous, it moved over him. He slammed deep, shoved his face in her neck and let it happen.
She slid her heels up his thighs so she could wrap her legs around his h*ps and she did this tight, holding onto his hands, clenching her pu**y around his cock.
His h*ps bucked twice as he poured himself inside her.
When it left him, he tasted the skin of her neck, smelled the remnants of her perfume, the scent of her hair, liking all that but not as much as her pu**y undulating against his c**k in her own aftermath.
