The Lyon Trilogy (36 page)

It was one pissed off little
girl who arrived at my parents that evening.

"Fix your face babe you
don't want anyone asking you what's wrong." If looks could kill I'd be
dead but whatever, she had to learn to listen, her little ass was getting way
out of control. Did I think that stunt I'd just pulled was gonna do much good,
fuck no. Maybe for a day or two but I had no doubt she'd be back to her fuckery
before long.

"I'm not talking to you
Colt." Pissy wasn't the word for what she was.

"I see you need your ass
tanned, keep this shit up and I'll help you out, maybe I won't even wait until
we get home hmm, maybe I'll just drag you upstairs and beat that ass."

"You.....argghhhh....you
make me so fu....."

"Uh uh uh, watch
it."

"Why you say it all the
time why can't I?"

"Because my angel doesn't
speak like that." I'm so fucking with her right now, but how can I resist?
We'd reached the door and was about to turn the knob to go in when it was flung
open and Tina came flying out and right into Kat's arms.

"Hey baby you're
here." She was all smiles and warmth when she turned to me, a far cry from
Arizona that's for sure.

"Hello Tina how are
you?"

"Hey there Colt isn't this
great? I've finally met your mom and Char and some of the girls." She
talked a mile a minute until we reached the others.

"How's it hanging
son?"

Geez, you'd think they
legalized weed for his benefit, I'm pretty sure no one else was getting as much
out of that little law as he was.

"Dad you have
company." He beckoned me over with his finger until I bent low to hear
what he had to say.

"She's from Arizona son;
they get the shit first just saying."

"That's just wrong."
I could only shake my head as I went in search of mom and some sanity.

"Colton what's this I
hear about you having Kat under house arrest? Son you've got to learn to
lighten up some the girl just had a little cold that's all. We have stuff to do
she can't be under lock and key." Her mouth kept flapping at me as I
watched Char with her nosy ass studying me, what the fuck, even the wedding
planner from hell was here.

"Hello Mr.
Lyon." 

"Hey how's it
going?"

"I did try to explain to
you ladies that the gentleman doesn't quite have a grasp on the whole wedding
planning thing, he seems to think all people need to do is show up and that's
that."

Damn I guess I didn't do a
good enough job of terrorizing her ass if she could still talk so much shit.

"He's a male love what do
you expect? Pass me that wine will ya?"

"Thanks mom and on that
note I'll be hanging with the men, too much of something in here for my
liking."

I walked over to where Kat was
standing between her mom and mine, Stacey wasn't here yet with Emory, and Carol
won't be home for a few more days.

"Behave yourself." I
kissed her short and sweet to the coos and ahhs of the nosy women in the
kitchen.

Drake was coming through the
front door when I went back to dad who was now joined by Cyrus.

"I could smell that shit
coming up the drive."

"Good ain't it, you
should really try some especially if you're gonna be dealing with your ex at
the dinner table, might help knock some of that tension off know what I
mean?"

"You're a real ass you know
that." Drake kicked dad's legs out of the way so he could sit down. I
decided to sit back and enjoy the show I was sure was coming. It's funny how
Kat and I getting together had brought so many people together. Dad and Drake
were now buds, and there was Cyrus who was part of the family and fit like he'd
always been there. Looks like Tina was a new addition and the pain in the ass
wedding planner too if tonight's invitation was anything to go by. That's mom
for ya, she collects people.

"So what's the plan of
action copper?"

"What’re you talking
about now, I knew that whacky weed was gonna make you nuts before long."

"The girl fool, what's
your plan of action for getting back with your girl?"

"Who says I want
to?" Damn he blushed just like his daughter.

"Man up dog you want her
or not?"

"Daniel how old are you
again?"

"Sixty why?" Dad
took a draw from his ever present doobie.

"What sixty year old do
you know who talks like that?"

"One of my orderlies
keeps me up to date on the latest lingo among other things." He wriggled
his brows at us. If I wasn't use to it my dad would be an embarrassment.

"I'd like to hear the
answer to that one myself."

"Not you too Cy, geez can
I just eat my dinner in peace?"

"Hello Drake, I thought I
heard your voice."

Tina was standing in the
doorway looking nothing like the woman I'd met either times; she looked shy and
uncertain, and I hope dad doesn't say a damn word.

"Hey hi Tina how're you
doing, you had a safe flight I hope."

"How much safer you want
it to be she's here ain't she?" Dad piped up.

"Dad, let’s go."

I motioned for Cy to follow us
as I led the irascible doctor out of the room.

"Wait Colt what're you
doing, I need to give my boy Drake some pointers."

"He doesn't need any help
from you weed head, let's go see what our women are up to."

Cyrus as usual was laughing
his ass off and who could blame him, dad was a riot when he was high.

Angel was ringing her hands and
biting her lips when we reached the kitchen, dad headed for mom and whispered
something in her ear that had her saying stop it Daniel with a giggle, I don't
wanna know. Char and he planner had their heads together over pictures of cakes
it looked like.

"What's the matter
baby?"

"Did you see them are
they talking, what're they doing?"

"Babe you can't get into
that you have to let them do their thing whatever that is."

"I know you're right it's
just...I really wish mom would move back here, she's all alone in Arizona and I
don't want to ever go back there again so I think it would be best if she just
moved here."

"It'll be fine babe stop
stressing." I kissed her hair and drew her in for a hug; I guess she was
over her mad because she was talking to me again.

"I know I just want
everybody to be as happy as we are." She laid her head against my chest
and hugged me back. Yeah she was over her mad; maybe I'd reward her later.

Dinner was noisy and fun, the
women including my girl were a little tipsy from the wine, dad of course was
his usual self, Stace only had to gag once or twice at his and mom's PDA, me I
took it all in stride, this was our family. I did reward my girl later that
night or she rewarded me whichever; fucking her while she was tipsy was always
a treat; alcohol made her more loose and limber. I'm pretty sure in the morning
she's going to be wondering why her ass and legs hurt but whatever.

Days blended into one another,
Kat's posse had liberated her from house arrest as they deemed it. I got an
earful from all their nosy asses all except the planner who seemed to be a new
permanent fixture, she hung back and let Char, Tina, Stacey and mom do their
thing. I refrained from telling them all to jump off a cliff but Kat paid for it
at night. I'm not sure how she explained away the new twist to her walk, but I
knew every morning she left my bed a dragging mess.

"You're coming to work
with me today."

"Can't I've got
stuff."

"You're with me."

She pouted but knew better
than to give me shit; I needed her in the office if only to deal with grumpy
Grimaldi. I'd forgotten to call him and he was threatening to string me up by
my balls if I didn't tell him what was going on with his girl Kat. Telling him
to fuck off hadn't been a help he just got more and more persistent.

"Eat your breakfast babe
we gotta run."

"I think I'm full, my
tummy feels weird."

"You sick?"

She shook her head no but her
face looked a little green, maybe I shouldn't have been so rough on her in bed this
morning but she liked to tease me until I was out of control these days, part
of her freak fetish I guess.

"Come." She climbed
into my lap so I could feel her forehead for fever and check her throat and
shit.

"Nothing seems off babe
what hurts?"

"Nothing hurts I just
feel a little bleh." She was off my knee and running for the bathroom in
the next second with me hot on her tail.

I held her hair back while she
was sick, her pitiful little heaves making me want to bundle her up and put her
back to bed.

"Babe, what the
fuck?"

"I think I ate
something."

I helped clean her up and get
dressed, now she was definitely coming to work with me where I could keep an
eye on her.

She spent way too much time on
the phone laughing it up with that old fuck Grimaldi and from part of the
conversation I knew the old reprobate was talking shit about me, whatever. Mom
must've called six million times about wedding shit; don't forget to pick up
your new tux that had been altered, don't forget to take dad and Cy and Drake
to get their hair cuts, like I'm their father or some shit. She needed to
remind her husband not to show up high to his son's wedding that's what she
needed to do.

They had some fucked up idea
about Kat spending the night before the wedding at mom's; yeah right. She was
lucky she got to go to the bachelorette party which I worked around by having
my thing two doors down. I gave a fuck about everyone telling me how silly I
was being, Kat knew better than to say shit or her little ass wouldn't have
been going anywhere.

Things worked out fine because
they were all toasted, I'm not sure how the proprietor of the establishment
dealt with almost a hundred tipsy loud ass women in his place. When I'd heard
talk of a swinging dick as part of the entertainment all it had took was an
arched brow in Kat's direction and she'd nixed that shit. I don't know where my
mother comes up with this shit.

The men had kept their heads
because we knew it was the girls' night and we had to be there for them. I got
my way over mom and Tina and their bullshit, she came home with me. After
another night of raunchy nasty ass fucking it was time to get ready for our
wedding. She was sick again and I wasn't sure if it was from her night of
debauchery or if she was really sick.

"We're going to the
doctor in the morning."

"Colton tomorrow's Sunday
there's no doctor's office open."

"We'll find one, I don't
like you being sick all the time like this this is bullshit." I was about
to lose my shit because let's face it; I can't stand to see her in pain.

I cleaned her up once more and
told myself to remember to ask dad for a name.

The women came over and kicked
me out as usual so I had to go over to mom and dad's to get dressed. Dad, Drake
and Cyrus were putting on their monkey suits and helping each other get it
together, dad was looking sharp if a little red in the eye. He kept slapping me
on the back and saying 'good man'.

Drake had a smile on his face
because his little girl was being taken care of and he knew it. We didn't need
to have a long drawn out man to man, all it took was a thanks for taking such
good care of her and a you're welcome and we were done.

The crew rode ahead of my limo
on their bikes, fucking show offs; their wives of course were in limos
themselves. 

We decided not to do the whole
wedding party thing because there were too many people to choose from and we
didn't want anyone feeling left out. Instead the crew all wore tuxes and their
women purple and silver. The chapel was packed when I walked out to stand in
front with the minister, priest, what the ahem, yeah. 

I wasn't so much nervous as I
was ready to get shit over with; I couldn't wait for tomorrow when she'd
officially be mine, fuck that felt good.

She came down the aisle on her
father's arm smiling nervously from under her veil, that's when my knees
started to go weak. When I looked at the vision coming towards me and it hit me
that she really was mine, that from this moment forward I will be responsible
for her. I'll be the man to her woman, her protector, her shield, her lover,
her friend. It will be my job to see that she was happy.

Just as the minister started
to speak there was a ruckus at the entrance, everyone turned to see what was
going on. Jennifer Rossetti was standing there looking like hell. Her hair was
a mess she looked like she'd been sleeping in her clothes for a week and she
had madness in her eyes. I pushed Kat behind me because I had no idea what was
about to go down. I needn't have bothered because my boys were up and forming a
wall between her and us as soon as they recognized her.

Then the bitch started
screaming and I wanted to shoot the fuck.

"You killed my brother I
know you did; you and that whore." I could barely see over Jared's head to
where she was trying to get pass the line.

"Did you all know she
lured those boys in Arizona with sex and then cried rape?" Kat had to pull
me back then and even Drake was out of his seat; dad had a hold of mom who I'm
sure would like nothing better than to pop Jennifer one.

  Before any of us
could do anything though her parents got up from their places and went after
her. She screamed bloody murder and threatened all sorts of mayhem as her
father dragged her outside. Of course there was a lot of murmurings and throat
clearings, me I was out for blood; she had no right bringing my woman's past
into this shit. The fact that she'd obviously lost her fucking mind which
seemed to be the general consensus of the people gathered here made no
difference to me.
