Leader: Book Three (Princes of Prophecy 3)

by L. Ann Marie

  “I’ve always been good with timing,” I say taking her hand and leading her into the bathroom. I pull a wire tie out of my pocket and cuff her hands. When I close the door I turn her facing it and slide her hands on the hook. She’s already breathing heavy and I haven’t touched her. “My naughty girl come out to play today?”

  She moans. “Yes.”

  I pull on the end of her skirt rolling it up. Women and the fuckin’ panties. I don’t know how the Brothers get any work done with their women looking like this. I rip them off and she yelps. I slap her ass. “Not one sound.” Leaning against her I put my arms around her, one squeezing her nipple the other flipping her ring. “My naughty girl need some help here?” She nods not chancing the sound. I gagged her yesterday for making noise. “You’re already wet babe. Were you thinking about the room with the couple fuckin’ in front of us?” She moans and I slide my finger in feeling her clench. “You liked seeing him bend her over the bed and take her from behind babe?” She nods and I squeeze her nipple hard. “I did too naughty girl. I liked watching you get so fuckin’ hot from it. I thought you were going to come watching them.” She moans and I roll my finger against her ring hitting her clit just right. She starts rolling her hips into my hand. “So fuckin’ sexy babe. Close your eyes.” I pull my dick out and rub it against her ass. “Watch him with his fingers in her pussy babe. He’s rubbing against her and she’s getting impatient. She wants that dick in her.” She moans pushing her ass against me. “He wants in, but he wants his naughty girl to come. He wants her wet and slick so he can slide his dick right in.” She pushes back hard and I slap her ass. “He’s watching you babe. He wants to know how you like watching him fuck his naughty girl. Look at that smile on his face. He likes getting you off too.” I curl my fingers around her and let her take what she wants. “Fuckin’ nice babe. My naughty girl likes being watched too.” She starts shaking. Nice. I get her there and she moans from her chest. I love feeling that. “That’s it my beautiful naughty girl let him see you come with my hand sliding on your pussy.” She lets out a moan that almost has me coming on her ass. Fuck she’s fuckin’ sexy as hell. I kiss her neck and moan as I slide my hand up to her stomach. “Love to see you come babe.” I slide my fingers in her mouth and she sucks on them. “Mmm I can’t wait to taste you later my naughty girl.” I move away from her and get a towel to clean her up. When she’s clean I unhook her hands and cut the tie.

  “Gotta get to work babe.” I kiss her lips and turn around to walk out.

  “Wait!” I look at her and think of everything that will stop me from smiling. She’s a little out of it. “Thank you? I don’t know what to say.”

  I walk back and kiss her making sure she’s feeling me against her. Her hand finds my dick and I grab it. “Gotta get to work babe.” I walk away thinking I’m a fuckin’ fool, but I’m a smiling fool.

  My phone rings as I’m sitting on my bike contemplating going back in there and fuckin’ her over her desk. “Prez the gang is showing at the town center.”

  “On my way to the center.” I hear him say ‘fuck’, but shut my phone down.

  “Prez on the side,” I say turning my mic on.

  Darren: “Roger Prez. PD, Driscoll, Eagle Eye and Sniper are on the scene. This is town four center where a press conference was scheduled.”

  Me: “Roger VP. Get every free Security and HS on the center.”

  Darren: “Roger Prez. They’re en route.”

  The HS bikes show as I’m pulling up. I leave my bike in line with them and walk to Dakota and Taylor. Jessie comes running up on the side of me. I see the colors mixed in with the town people.

  Me: “VP get Security behind everyone wearing colors.”

  Darren: “Roger Prez.” I watch Security mix in and move behind the gang members.

  Driscoll shows with a line of officers in front of us. The Mayor comes out and stands at the podium looking around. He pales and I look at Dakota. “He fuckin’ called them?”

  He nods and throws me pictures. I move to the side of the podium and he shrinks back. “Your friends are a little outnumbered. You’ve done us a favor. We don’t have to go look for them now.” He stutters, but doesn’t get a word out.

  I turn and smile at the reporters. “Thank you for coming today. Your Mayor has an announcement he’d like to share with you.” I look at him and speak softly. “You’re resigning as of the first of the year and Princes are taking over the PD.”

  He makes his announcement and people clap. “Ben Knight for Mayor!” someone yells, and I laugh.

  I look at Driscoll. “Collect the gang and give them the option of leaving on their own. If they give you a problem, make an example of a couple and see if it makes a difference. If not get rid of them.”

  He nods smiling.

  Me: “VP detain the gang members.”

  Jessie yells. A gun goes off. Security moves. I shield. Everything happens so fast, I throw and hear a man scream. Dakota is holding my arm. “Let it go Prez.” I relax keeping the shield on me and look toward the man still screaming. People give him room. I walk through them and they move away. The man is on the ground holding his head. A gun is beside him. I pick up the gun and hand it to a PD officer. He takes it and moves away from me nervous. I look at Dakota. ‘You threw to him but it was a flash everyone saw,’ he says in my head. Fuck. I look around. There are fuckin’ cameras everywhere.

  “Spin this,” I tell him low.

  He smiles and looks for a camera. “Prophecy, not just a name.” He’s looking right at a camera.

  Jessie cracks up. I shake my head smiling. “Driscoll take care of the gang.”

  “Roger Prez.” He’s smiling like a pussy. Bastard.

  Reporters move closer as the gang is led away. Someone yells for me for Mayor again. I smile. These people are fuckin’ nuts. They should be running away. A reporter sticks a microphone in my face and I look at her. She steps back. I stop and turn toward all of them. “You know who I am. I am not the guy you fuck with. Keep your microphones away from me. I don’t have to move to make sure that happens so keep it in mind. We have a job to do. You got your sound bite and then some. Leave us to work and we’ll leave you to report. Don’t get in my way and I won’t get in yours. Yeah?” They nod as one. Jessie is cracking up on the side of me and I want to elbow him to shut him up.

  I look at Dakota. “Do you have anything to say?”

  He smiles. Bastard. “No Prez. I am happy to let you speak for the Club and Princes Security.”

  “Fuckin’ Brothers.” I twirl my finger and everyone moves toward the bikes.

  Sheila is beside mine with a smile. “Good press conference Prez. I’m pretty sure no one will fuck with you ever again.”

  “It just happened. I don’t need shit for this,” I growl at her.

  Darren’s laughing in my ear. “Oh but you’ll get it Prez. No one had a clue about your abilities until today. You’ll get plenty of shit over it. I’m pretty sure VP will be the first call you take after the news tonight, then Pres, then my dad...”

  “Enough!” I look at Dakota. “Wipe the video.”

  He nods and starts walking back with Hyde and Jessie following him.

  I look over at Sheila. “Let’s ride.”

  She stays on my side and Eliza is behind us with the extra HS and Security that was called to show. I don’t say a word to anyone as I walk into Security. Aside from Sheila, Eliza and Taylor smiling, everyone gives me a wide berth. Darren is at the door with a fuckin’ smile. Shit. “Meeting room. Get Brantley in here.” I turn and walk to my meeting room and open it waiting for them all to walk in. Brantley goes by me fast. I roll my eyes as Jessie rounds the corner with a fuckin’ smile. Jesus.

  “Brantley if that video is spread you’ll wish you were hanging in pop ups.” He nods seriously.

  “I had no fuckin’ clue it would happen. I was just throwing to stop him. It’s not something I planned or knew would show to anyone. Obviously I need some practice. Dakota is
wiping the video. Brantley you’ll do the same.”

  He raises his hand, fuck he’s nervous. “Prez, people had their phones out recording the whole thing. We have them on the feed.” Shit.

  Darren looks at me. “Just let it go. If people see it, they see it. You can’t wipe everyone that was there. If Brantley’s wiping the feeds you won’t even know who has it. Send it yourself to VP and Pres, tell them what you told us. It’s not like you planned it.”

  I push the hair out of my face. My fuckin’ head is spinning.

  Taylor waves his hand. “If anything it will stop people from fuckin’ with us. Dakota said it perfect. It will play and people won’t know who the fuck can do shit like that. That was fuckin’ awesome Prez.”

  I pace. “All right Brantley leave the feeds. Get me the section I’m going to have to explain for Pres and my dad. I’ll be in my office.” I walk out. My skin feels too tight. Pres is going to be pissed and my father is going to be disappointed. Fuck.

  I call my dad. “I need you with Pres to see something that just happened down here.”

  “Give me five.” He hangs up.

  I pace my office for three minutes. Jessie knocks. I let him in and Darren follows. Taylor and Dakota show as I’m hitting them on the live feed. “I think it’s best if you watch it then I can answer your questions.” I play the feed for them with my heart pounding.

  “Fuck!” Pres yells looking back at me. I put my head in my hands. Jesus. When it’s done I look at them.

  “Should’ve done that instead of scalpin’ the pussy.”

  What? I look at my father playing his words over. He smiles. “Didn’t know it would happen?”

  I’m shocked. “I threw, but didn’t know it would show like that. It only ever happened when Jessie got shot. I swear to God I had no clue I threw so hard. I was shielding us so no one would get hit with a bullet.”

  My dad is smiling. I’m so fuckin’ relieved. “Least we know no one will fuck with you.”

  I stomp on my foot so I don’t laugh. Pres hasn’t said a word. I look at him, but can’t read him. “You didn’t know you could throw that hard? Is this how you saved Jeremy?”

  I look at Dakota he nods. “Yeah. Dakota stopped the second, but I shielded Jeremy from the first shooter.”

  “Why am I learning this now? Can Jeremy throw like that? Fuck! That’s what happened to Dakota. Jeremy hurt him like that?”

  “No Pres. Jeremy didn’t know he could throw at all, he pushed away from Dakota with the same force as throwing. Dakota had to fight to get back. Why you’re learning this now is a little murky.”

  “Murky? Tell me how the fuck you’re doing shit like that and I don’t fuckin’ know!” He stands with his hands in his hair. “The reporters saw this. The town saw this, but I have no fuckin’ clue you have it and that’s murky?”

  My dad rolls his eyes. “Pres, my whole life everything I had was a secret. I don’t hide that I can read from the Club. I didn’t hide it from you. We practiced throwing when we were dealing with Dakota and Jessie’s old lady war. We didn’t plan it; we didn’t hide it. It just was. I didn’t tell anyone because I was taught my whole fuckin’ life not to advertise. It wasn’t a slight or intended as disrespect.”

  Pres looks at my dad who is still fuckin’ smiling. Jesus. “You knew and you didn’t tell me?”

  “Knew he had it in him, didn’t know he could use it yet. Know Dakota can.”

  Pres looks at me. Fuckin’ Dad. “Yeah. He is a little more advanced than me.” Jessie laughs. I give him a look. “Okay, he’s a lot more advanced than me. His is not my story to tell Pres. Again, abilities were kept close.”

  “Close! I’m about as fuckin’ close as you can be without supplying my fuckin’ DNA!”

  My dad laughs. “Told you when he was young. Some shit ain’t up for discussion.”

  “When it’s on the fuckin’ news is it up for discussion then?” he yells and I put my head in my hands. Fuck.

  “Dad! He didn’t know it would happen. He shielded us so we wouldn’t be hit with a bullet. It’s a good fuckin’ day because no one died. Give him a fuckin’ break. He didn’t know,” Jessie says with his voice getting softer as he talks. He’s pissed.

  I look at them. My dad finds my eyes. “Give me five.” He shuts the feed down.

  I look at the floor, head in my hands, again. Jesus. It’s Pres that’s disappointed. I can’t remember the last time I disappointed him. Yes, I can. When I scalped the pussy in New Bedford. Shit.

  “Your father is not disappointed Prez. He will give Pres the knowledge so he understands. We have abilities that have never been discussed and I am not sure should be discussed with anyone no matter who he is. Co will tell you the same. It is not something we can freely speak about.”

  “I know Dakota, but he has no fuckin’ clue and now he’s thinking he’ll have to find a way to shield us from every fuckin’ halfwit taking pot shots at me to get to see it up close and personal.”

  Taylor sits up. “Fuck, I didn’t even think of that.”

  “What are you worried about?” Darren asks.

  “First, Pres being disappointed means I lost trust. Second, him thinking he has to shield us means they’ll be here again. It took almost a whole fuckin’ year to get them to see we can take care of ourselves. Now I show him I had no fuckin’ clue what I was doing at the worst possible moment.”

  Jessie laughs. “With all that happened with Lily and the boys being born you’ve shown more leadership ability than anyone expected. He told her that himself. I don’t think you lost the kind of trust you’re thinking. He’ll be more pissed at your dad for not telling him than you. Doing what your father says trumps his need for that information. Besides, he doesn’t understand it all. If anything he’s going to come back telling you to learn to control your shit so it’s not a fuckin’ surprise on the news for him.”

  Darren nods. “You showed the ability to keep people safe. That will count for something.”

  I sit up. They’re right. Dakota touches my arm. “You have to tell him you have abilities that you cannot discuss so if a similar situation happens he will not be blindsided.”

  I look at Taylor. “I agree with all of them. Pres won’t come back pissed. He knows it was kept with your dad.”

  I nod. Everything is going through my mind. My dad pops on the OC and I open the feed. Pres is still pacing. “Kept your Brothers safe. That’s the good. Control needs to be worked on so that shit doesn’t happen again. Yeah?”

  I smile. “Yeah Dad. We’ll work on it to get that control.”

  Pres turns looking for my eyes. “Watch your back. If the news plays that shit, people will be hunting you.” I nod. I got that from him earlier. “Anything else I need to know?”

  Fuck. “No Pres. There’s a whole fuckin’ lot that you should know, but I’ve been reminded that I’m not free to talk about it. This isn’t out of disrespect. Some abilities haven’t been open to me yet and some have. I’m walking a sword’s edge here and trying to keep from being cut. I have never misused my abilities and I will work at using them for the good that they were intended every day. I know what I lost here. I’ll work for that too.”

  My dad makes a sound like a growl. Pres sits in his chair hard. “Fuckin’ kids. I can’t be more proud of you. I don’t get abilities and all this shit that’s throwing and jumping. I do know the videos out there can hurt you. Our protection is guaranteed in everything, always. You’ve shown your ability to keep your Brothers safe using everything within your power. It’s that power that scares me because I don’t know it and don’t understand it. Do what you can to control whatever the fuck you have and watch the fuckin’ cameras next time. You lost nothing today Little Ben. Just keep doing what you’re doing.”

  I’m so relieved, but keep my body from showing it. “Thank you Pres, I will. Is there anything else I need?”

  Pres smiles. “With the threat of your father killing me in my sleep, I am saying nothing else.”

  Dakota laughs. I give him a look and he stops. My father shuts the feed down.

  “Oh my fuckin’ God that was intense.” I bend over taking a deep breath.

  They all laugh, but I’m so relieved I don’t give a shit. When they start throwing money I’m shocked. “You fuckin’ bet on me?”

  Darren laughs. “Yeah, I won.”

  Jessie pushes him. “You always fuckin’ win on him.”

  “Get the fuck out. I’m ready to have a heart attack and you’re fuckin’ betting on it. Get out of my office!”

  They laugh strolling out the fuckin’ door as if they’re taking a walk in the fuckin’ park. Bastards.

  Uncle Danny calls me and I tell him the whole fuckin’ thing. He laughs and says the same thing Pres said without the ‘my father killing him’ thing. For some reason I feel better hearing it from him. Maybe because he’s not under a threat of death. Whatever it is, I leave work smiling. My girl will be ready when I get home. I’m thinking a quickie sounds perfect right about now.

  Chapter Eighteen

  Two weeks

  Lily

  I smile handing the brace to the doctor. “Physical Therapy will help with the fine motor skills. You healed much faster than I anticipated. Mitch has a less obtrusive brace for you. This will help with the movements while you’re going through therapy. You’re doing great Lily. Keep practicing, do the therapy, and I’ll see you back in a month.” I nod knowing I’m smiling like a dork.

  Jess comes in smiling. “I knew it. He’s right; you’re doing great.” The doctor waves walking out.

  “You heard what he said?” I’m shocked.

  She laughs. “I was in the viewing room.” She points to the glass wall.

  “Oh.” I look at Little Ben. He’s smiling. Damn he knew and kissed me setting my body on fire. Jerk. He smiles bigger and I want to kick him. I better not though my foot isn’t working as good as my hand right now. I glare at him and he laughs.
