Chapter 6: The Trash

CADEN

We wake up and start our day by making breakfast. Soon the boys will be here, grabbing their food. We get settled around the table as the guys come in, grabbing plates and sitting down to eat with us.

“What’s the report today?”

“We got info on the trash downstairs. Also, Ortiz has been moving around shipments and making calls.”

“For what?”

“He thinks you will get info that he doesn’t want you to have.”

“Who would I get the info from?”

“The trash downstairs.”

“Wait a fu… Hold on, the kid is here. Why would he have info? Did the trash work for him?”

“Yep!”

I run my hand down my face. “Eva, baby, did you know your boyfriend was working for them?”

“I don’t know who they are. He just went to work every day but wouldn’t tell me where. What’s going on?”

“Hey, Nate, my boy, can you go with Nico and play for a bit in your room? Also, start getting ready for the zoo.”

“Sure. Come on, Nico. I’ll show you my cool toys!”

He runs off ahead of Nico, and I wait till they are out of earshot.

“Eva, Ortiz and his empire deal with illegal stuff but since I own a lot of the town, it’s getting harder for him to move it. Well, now he’s panicking because I have your boyfriend locked in the basement.

“Who knows where he’s moving his stuff. He wants to take me out so he can take over and have free rein.

“My life is always in danger, but these men seated here will protect us with their lives. Ortiz won’t do anything out in the open, but I am curious about the boyfriend.”

“Can I talk to Scott?”

I simply nod and tell her to go get dressed. I go to my room and start getting dressed in some jeans.

Eva knocks and walks in. She looks at me and starts to blush. She watches me as I throw on a T-shirt and start putting on my holsters and loading my guns, making sure they are ready to go.

I start to grab for a jacket when she walks over and stands in front of me, placing her hands on my arms.

“Eva, baby, I promised I would take care of you and Nate. This is my life. I don’t deal in anything illegal, but I do have enemies and will do what I need to do to protect mine. If you want out, tell me now before I fall any harder.”

“Fall harder?”

“Eva, you are my goddess. The moment I saw you, my heart skipped, and I had to have you. I promised to get you two out and to keep you two safe. I keep my promises.

“Like I said last night, I want you to be mine. I want Nate to be mine. If you would let me, I’d fucking adopt him so he can bear my name. I will claim that boy, no matter what.”

She slowly steps forward and leans up to give me a kiss. I look down at her as a smirk crosses my face. I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her to me, crashing my lips on hers.

I weave my other hand into her hair, pressing her to me harder. I release her and back up while we both catch our breath.

“We need to get going.”

When we exit my room, I have Nico and Tony take Nate down to the car to wait. Eva and I go with Tank and Frankie down to the basement.

When we get in the elevator, Eva squeezes my hand. I look down at her and she looks at me. I lean over and kiss her forehead.

“It will be okay. He’s in a cell, but he’s been fed every meal and was tied up earlier knowing we were going to deal with this today.”

She nods at me and as the elevator opens to the garage, Nate and his boys get off while we go down further to the basement.

The moment the doors open, we walk forward down a hall and go to the door at the end. It’s dark inside and as I flip on the light, Eva lets out a gasp.

This piece of trash has been visited by my boys and it shows. I see Tank and Frankie smirk at their handiwork.

I drag a chair up and sit in front of Scott, looking at him as he raises his head to look at us.

“So, Scott, word is you work for Ortiz?”

He completely ignores me and turns his attention to Eva, smirking at her.

“Hey, Eva, didn’t realize how fast a bitch like you jumps from one dick to the next.”

I kick him hard in his shin which gets a grunt from him. “Don’t talk to her. Answer my fucking question!”

“I haven’t done anything with him!” Eva said.

“Sure, you haven’t. He takes care of you and my son, so what did you do? Did you suck his dick? How many times have you fucked him?

“You were always a slut, but that’s okay, baby. When I get out of here, I will get you back, and you will be sucking my dick!”

I reach out and punch him square across his face. He snickers and spits at me, sending blood all over my shirt. In turn, I punch his face again, breaking his nose.

Eva starts to cry and whispers under her breath. I can tell what he is saying is getting under her skin. I’m sure this was the way he controlled her: by beating her down both verbally and physically.

“He’s not your son, and I’m not a slut.”

“You are my girlfriend, and Nate is ~my~ son. Should have known you would spread your legs for any dick that comes along.”

Before Eva can say anything, I stand up sending the chair flying back. I pull out my gun, cock it, and press it to his head, screaming in his face. “Listen, fucker! Eva is my goddess, and Nate is my son!

“I will never expect anything from her because I am a fucking man, not a pussy like you!” I fire my gun, shooting him in the head, and his head drops down.

Eva screams out while Frankie and Tank look at me wide-eyed.

Never ever have I killed someone.

I rush over to grab Eva and pull her to me. She buries her head in my chest, sobbing and grabbing onto my jacket. I lead her from the room into the next room where I can change my shirt and clean up at a sink.

She stands there sobbing while I wash my hands in the sink after stripping off my holsters and shirt. I turn the water off and turn around, leaning against the counter as I let out a sigh while looking at the floor.

I grab my phone out of my pocket and call Mike. “Mike, man, it happened. I need it all cleaned up. We are in the basement at the business. Yeah, you know I owe you one!”

I hang up and toss my phone into my pocket. I stand there, slowly processing what I have just done.

“Eva, baby, I’m sorry. I usually keep my cool, but I couldn’t hear his insults anymore. I have never done anything illegal, and I crossed the line.

“We will take care of it since I have my contacts for such an incident if I should ever need them. I hope you understand. I never wanted this kind of thing to happen.”

I can hear her sniffling as she walks up to me, placing her hands on my face and lifting it up to look at her.

“I understand. If you had let him go, he would always be a threat to us. I understand that, but you called me your goddess, and Nate your son.”

“Eva, baby, you are my goddess! I don’t know how many times I have to tell you! I’m thankful every moment that I even met you. I don’t care that Nate isn’t mine. He is mine, and I will claim him in front of anyone!”

She closes the gap between us, crashing her lips to mine. I grab her by her thighs and lift her up, pushing her against the wall.

She wraps her legs around my waist and as I start placing kisses down her neck, I rub my hard cock into her core.

As I hear moans escaping her, I start grinding on her harder. Her breathing starts getting shallow, so I set her down quickly, spinning her around to face the wall. I press my hard cock into her cute ass as I unbutton her pants.

“Do you want me to continue? You can say no.”

“Yes…”

I slowly plunge my hand down inside her underwear, and I slowly start rubbing her clit. She moans, tilting her head back against my shoulder. I slowly kiss her neck as I rub two fingers against her wet folds.

“Fuck, Eva baby, you’re so wet for me… How bad do you want me?”

All I get is moans as I plunge two fingers into her fucking tight core, and as I slowly start pumping in and out, I can feel her orgasm building.

I move my other hand up to her breasts under her shirt and bra, slowly squeezing and pinching her nipples. She starts bucking her hips to meet my fingers as I pump faster and faster.

Her breathing starts to hitch so I lean toward her ear. “Eva I want you to fucking come for me!” I feel her clench down on my fingers when she screams my name.

I slowly pump and let her ride out her orgasm as I withdraw my wet fingers. I spin her around to look at me as I put my fingers in my mouth and proceed to lick off all her juices.

“Fuck, baby, that was so fucking hot. You taste so fucking good! I would love to have you cum on my face sometime.”

I see her blush as she watches me button up her pants, and I crash my lips on hers. I step back, looking at her, enjoying how flushed she looks.

“Come on, baby. Let’s go to the zoo with our son.”

I throw on a clean shirt and toss my holsters and jacket back on. I grab her hand and head out the door, down the hall to the elevator. When we get to the garage floor, we see Nate hanging with all my boys in the car.

“Nico, Tony… Mike will be here shortly to help take care of the trash downstairs. We will be headed to the zoo now with Tank and Frankie. You ready, Nate?”

“Yep!”

We all load up into the SUV, and we head out to the zoo. The moment we get parked, Nate is bouncing around, ready to see everything. We spend hours walking everywhere with Frankie and Tank in tow, which always gets us looks.

We walk around, seeing all the different animals and riding on rides. We stop after a couple of hours and have some lunch since Nate was starting to look at the animals as food. Nate has to sit on my lap and eat, which I could care less about.

As we start to wind down the day, Nate is dead set on a stuffed lion. I grab it, go and pay for it, and hand it to him. The look on his face is priceless because he’s so excited over the lion. He goes over with it, showing Tank and Frankie like he has won the lottery.

We continue walking and can tell he is slowing down, so I stop and pick him up to carry him. He wraps his arm around the lion and lays his head on my shoulder, and he falls fast asleep.

We know it’s time to head to the car, and as we approach the parking lot, we see a note on the car. Tank grabs it and hands it to me, knowing already who it’s from—Ortiz.

Maxwell,

I heard you got rid of some of my trash. I didn’t want an issue, but now you created an issue. We will chat later. Don’t cause me any more issues.

Ortiz

I look at the letter as Eva grabs my hand, looking nervously at me.

“Eva, baby, we are fine! We will take care of it.”

She gives me a nod and climbs in as I slide in with Nate. I set him in between us slowly so as not to wake him. We pull out and head back to the apartment in my building so Nate can nap.

When we arrive in the parking lot, I grab Nate and carry him. Eva follows and we head up in the elevator. When we make it into the apartment, I walk upstairs and put Nate on his bed and head back downstairs to Eva.

“After Nate wakes up, we will head to the mansion for the next week to get away. He has a room set up there, and so do you. We won’t need to take anything as the rooms are stocked with clothing also.

“There are plenty of kids and women there as everyone’s families live there. Next week, I have a charity event to go to, so you will be with me as my date.”

She just looks at me and covers her face, crying, as she buries her face in my chest.

“Eva, baby, what’s wrong?”

“Why are you this nice?”

“Eva, baby, I told you I would take care of you and Nate. Before you, I have dated women, but they expected to be treated and were only with me because of my money and who I was. When I got you, and you had no clue who I was or my situation, I knew.

“When you didn’t want to impose on me, I knew. I knew that you were my goddess, and I had to have you. I care deeply for you and my boy, and I worship the ground you walk on.

“I can’t get enough of your scent. I can’t get enough of you. I don’t care how long it takes. I will spend every minute showing how much you and Nate mean to me.”

“I care deeply for you also. I woke up last week not knowing if I would ever get away from Scott. Or even if it was possible. I had no clue I would meet someone like you, but I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.”

I grab her by her waist and crush my lips on hers. She wraps her arms around my neck and presses even harder into me.

I snake my hand into her hair, gripping it gently, pulling her head back as I kiss her neck roughly, getting moans to pass her lips. I press my erection into her as I whisper in her ear.

“Eva, baby, you have no clue what you do to me.”

I feel her pressing herself against me harder, and I let out a growl, crashing my lips back to hers. We’re getting pretty heavy when we are interrupted—

“Eeewwww!”

We look at each other. I press my forehead to hers and start laughing. I have to adjust my pants when we step away from each other.

“Hey, Nate, are you ready to go to the mansion for a week?

“You have another house?”
