I raise my brow, I’ve heard about brothers claiming old ladies, but I’ve never witnessed it firsthand.
Frankie turns around as Addi, Raid’s teen daughter, walks over with a huge bunch of flowers.
Frankie chuckles. “You were in on this?”
Addi smiles. “Absolutely. You and Dad are perfect for each other, and I can’t imagine having anyone else in my life but you.”
Frankie is almost sobbing as she takes the flowers from Addi and embraces her so tight. “I love you, Addilyn.” Frankie blubbers out the words.
“Right back at ya.”
Then Frankie turns to Raid, and he brings his hand up, caressing her cheek. “And I love you, Francesca.”
“I fucking love you, Raid.”
Leaning in, they kiss. It’s all very emotional, but I have shit I need to say. So I’ve got to break this little get-together up. Letting out a loud whistle, I enter the clubroom, gaining everyone’s attention. “Wow, this seems like a lot of emotion right now.” I chuckle while making my way over.
Everyone turns, raising their brows.
“Hey, Maxxy, what’s goin’ on? You don’t venture out this way often?” Hurricane states.
“I wouldn’t need to if Hoodoo was doing his damn job.”
Hoodoo stands taller and scowls. “I’m trying, okay? But, finding someone to work at The Plantation who has the right skill set, and is willing to take on the confidentiality clauses, takes fucking time.”
“Time I don’t have, Hoodoo. Look… I’m gonna put it to you straight… either you find me some help, or I’m gonna walk. I can’t do it all on my own anymore.”
Everyone widens their eyes at my out-and-out threat, but Hurricane stiffens his posture. “Don’t go sayin’ shit like that, Maxxy. You know we need you. Hoodoowillpick up his fuckin’ act. But, in the meantime, seein’ as he’s havin’ such a hard time findin’ someone, Hoodoo himself will come down to The Plantation and help you.”
Hoodoo snaps his head around at Hurricane with his mouth agape.“What?”
“What?”I mimic.
“Max, you need help! Hoodoo has some biology experience with his medical background. I’m sure he’ll be useful for somethin’. If not, he can be your errand boy.”
I smirk and think,awesome, while Hoodoo scowls. “Pres, you need me here as the medic.”
“If we need you for an emergency, you’re not that far away. We’ll call you. This is happenin’, Hoodoo. You’re gonna work at The Plantation with Maxxy. No arguments.”
I can’t help but chuckle. Iloveseeing Hoodoo uneasy.“I hope you’re ready to get down and dirty.”
Hoodoo widens his eyes at the pun. “I don’t think I’m ready for this shit…at all.”
I grin, bumping into his side. “Naww, c’mon, princess. You that scared of working on a farm? Worried you’ll get your hands all messed up and dirt under your nails?”
Hoodoo scowls, the hard lines forming deep in his forehead. “I’ve had my hands plenty messed up. A little grunt work doesn’t scare me, Maxxy.”
“Then c’mon, princess, let’s get going. We got shit to do.”
Hoodoo growls. “Don’t call me fucking princess.”
I grin, waggling my brows. “Why? You prefer muffin? Baby doll? Sugar tits?”
Hoodoo reaches out, grabbing my wrist in a tight fist. He glares at me with such intensity a jolt of something flashes straight to my clit.Jesus Christ, where did that come from?As our eyes connect, my breathing hitches.
He glares, his eyes cold, hard, and callous. “You might get away with treating the guys at The Plantation like they’re beneath you, but you’re gonna treat me with some respect. Got it?”
I’m not intimidated by him. If anything, I find his intensity humorous as I lean in closer and bite my bottom lip for emphasis. “Daddy vibes? Got it. You gonna bend me over your knee and spank me now? ’Cause I warn you, I’m into that kinda kink.”
