There used to be a latch there but it had been replaced with something that I had no hope in hell of figuring out. “Shit.” I have to scale this six-foot wall with my hoo-ha on fire. I had to do it though I had to go see about mom.

CORD
***
The silent alarm went off at about the same time the one in my pocket did. “Where the fuck is she going? Where?”
“East gate.” I hit the door running as soon as Quinn gave me her location and didn’t wait around for my brothers as they came after me.
I knew no one had breeched us so that meant she was on the move, but where? I pressed the combination on my watch and the gate swung open. I didn’t realize that my mind was trapped in fear until I saw her up ahead. “Susie?” Was that my voice? It took me two tries to get her attention since the first one came out like a croaking old woman.
She stopped in her tracks and I could see from her reaction that she was wondering how the fuck I knew she’d left. I crooked my finger at her. “Come here to me.” She didn’t argue, just turned and headed back my way.
I was too pissed to say anything, so I just took her hand once she reached me and led her back to the house. No one said anything, not even the women who were all gathered in the middle of the yard. I guess they’d seen us all running hell bent for leather and came to see what was going on.
Mancini had joined the others and I saw Lo explaining shit to him when we passed. “Cord.” I didn’t answer her, just opened the door and pushed her ass inside. She was safe enough this time, and I was able to put a cap on my anger since she hadn’t got too far.
I turned to head back out the door but she pulled me up short. “HEY!!!” She’d lost her fucking mind.

SUSIE
***
He turned and slowly looked over his shoulder in that way he has that makes me weak in the knees. “You sure you wanna test me little girl?” I swallowed the brick that was suddenly lodged in my throat and took a little step back. “Thought so. Get to bed and your ass better be there when I get back. And Susie that was your last chance, you fuck up like this again, I’ll make you regret the day you were born.”
Did he have to be so masterful? Did he have to make me weak even when I wanted to bash him in the head? “I wish you’d stop talking down to me. I just wanted to go check on mom I don’t see what the big deal is. You can’t keep me prisoner here…” He gave me one of his looks and silly me got turned way the hell on. Is it sick that I wanted to jump his bones right now? All that masterful heat yum!
“Take your ass to bed Susie and make that the last time you raise your voice to me. You’re skating on thin fucking ice.”
Oh boy, how was I supposed to not get into trouble with mister don’t breathe unless I say so always on my ass? “That’s not fair, I’m not a china doll and it’s time you stopped treating me like one.” That wasn’t bravery; I was in heat. Who knows what the hell was gonna come out of my mouth next? I could feel the blood rushing between my thighs in anticipation. Does he have any idea how hot he is when he gets all macho man of the universe? I’ll take the spanking.
He turned and came back to me. Grabbing my chin in his hand his mouth came down hard on mine and the other big rough hand went into my sweats between my thighs. I was already cumming before his fingers slipped beneath my panties and drove deep.
His fingers felt so good moving inside me, and I found I even liked that little bit of pain when his long thick fingers rubbed against my tender flesh. I was working on my second big one when the beast pulled his fingers out of me and walked out the door.
I fell back against the wall with my mouth hanging open. “That son of a bitch.” I went around the house on a tear looking for anything I could smash. There was nothing that I didn’t know had value to him and as mad as I was I still couldn’t do that to him.
I screamed loud enough to wake the whole population of the south but that wasn’t much help either. When the first tear fell is when I lost my mind. That can be the only explanation for my deciding then and there to defy him.
The thought settled me down some, the idea of getting some of my own back. Ever since I got hooked up with that one I’ve been like a puppet on a string. Doing his bidding, following his rules. No more.
I bided my time, waiting for the sun to go down. It was a testament to how pissed he was that he didn’t come to check on me like he’d promised. I didn’t care, at least that’s what I told myself every time I started to sulk.
I was a nervous wreck as the minutes ticked away and then the girls showed up. “How are you? You don’t seem any worse for wear, and from the looks of Cord when he stormed out of here earlier we were pretty sure you’d been treated to the SEAL treatment.” Vanessa plopped the baby down on my lap while Vicki headed for the kitchen. Crap, I forgot it was my turn to make dinner, damn. The girls have issues with smelling food these days so I pull double duty sometimes. Now I feel bad that I’d forgot.
“So, what’s the verdict? Have you been banished from the outside world for the next millennium or what?” Dani sat next to me with a pitying look of understanding. “I wish.” Somehow I think Cord is gonna have a whole lot worse in store for me after this.
