“Luciana, this is Yankee and Gunner,” Spider said, motioning to each of them.“Guys, this is my wife, Luciana, and the intended target of the man who broke into the compound.Her sperm donor is Mateo Gomez.”
Sperm donor.I snickered a little.I liked that because the man had certainly never been fatherly, even if he’d demanded that title from us.I’d have to share that with my sisters later.
“Violeta.When can I see her?”I asked.
“Dread is checking her over right now.As soon as I have word on her status, I’ll let you know,” Spider said.“But neither of you are leaving your homes until we get this shit sorted out.”
I nodded, my stomach tightening with worry over Violeta.“Sofia?What about her?Did they attack the place where she’s living now?”
Spider stared at me a moment, then pulled out his phone.
“Torch, did your compound get hit today?Maybe someone trying to get their hands on Sofia?”he asked.
He held my gaze and shook his head.At least Sofia was safe.I didn’t know why my father would want me over my sisters, unless he’d found out about my pregnancy.The thought of him getting his hands on my babies was enough to make me bolt down the hall and throw up in the half bath.Spider knelt next to me and rubbed my back.
“Sofia is safe,” he said.“And I’m not letting Gomez get his hands on you.”
“You can’t stop him,” I said.“He has more men than you do.If he wants me, he’ll find a way to get me.”
He opened his mouth to respond when his phone rang.A strange look crossed his face as he stared at the screen, and when he answered he put the speaker on, then pressed a finger to my lips so I’d know to remain silent.
“Casper, what the fuck is going on?”he asked.
“Gomez has decided that he needs Luciana more than he needs your favor.He knows your club still has Violeta and he’s hoping that will be enough to keep you tied to him.Or the imaginary tie that’s there.”
“His man attacked Violeta and beat the hell out of her,” Spider said.“That’s not going to endear him to me.”
“He doesn’t know you have a soft spot for the girls.He thinks you’ve made them whores and you’re passing them around,” Casper said.
“Send me the number to Gomez.I think I need to have a little chat with him.”
“Spider, be careful.I have plans in motion, and I don’t need you to fuck everything up.I know that you’re protective of those who are innocent, especially women and children, but don’t let that cloud your judgment.”
“The fucker came after my wife and kids,” Spider said.
There was a beat of silence.
“Wife and kids?”Casper asked.
“Luciana is my wife, and the twins she’s carrying are mine as well.”
Casper snorted.“You can’t have kids.”
“Well, I claimed them just the same.”
“Gomez isn’t aware you married his daughter.Hell, I didn’t know about it and this is my fucking mission.Anything else I need to know?”Casper asked.
“Answer the fucking phone and you’d know more, but no.I don’t have anything else.Not yet, but give Violeta some time to grow up and I have a feeling Rocket will be claiming her.You think I’m protective?The fucker who hurt Violeta might want to run as far and fast as he can, because if Rocket gets his hands on the guy, he won’t be breathing much longer,” Spider said.
“Duly noted.I’ll send the information for Gomez, but don’t do anything stupid.No dick swinging, Spider.I mean it.”
Spider flipped the phone off, as if the man could see the gesture, then ended the call.
“Fucker,” Spider muttered.
His phone chimed a moment later and a sadistic smile slid across his face.A shiver raced down my spine.Not because I feared for myself, but that look didn’t bode well for my father.I knew that Spider would end him if he could, and it wouldn’t be pleasant.
