“Have you seen your father lately?”

My brow furrows. “No.” Come to think of it, I haven’t seen him all week. I don’t think he’s been home at all, but I figured he might be out of town for work or something.

Rich frowns. “Let me know if get ahold of him, would you?”

“Yes, sir.” I nod my head at him and head out.

Easton is going to kill me.

Jackson

When I arrive atthe pit, I swear under my breath when I see the fight has just ended. People are screaming as Easton stands over the other fighter, unconscious and laying on his stomach. Blood is splattered on his face as he looks over the crowd, his gaze eventually ending on Rose. He looks just as much of a Reaper as people make him out to be.

He’s a savage.

I look for Cara, and spot her standing beside Rose with an unhappy expression on her face. She looks pissed, actually. Dressed in a Nike hoodie and black leggings, she looks like the sexiest woman in the entire place. Even with her messy ponytail and makeup free face, she’s every bit of tomboy that she’s always been.

She’s fuckin’ bangin’.

The crowd starts disbursing, some of them leaving all together while others head over to the bar. I wait for Rose and Cara to get into view and then make my way towards them.

When Cara spots me, she scowls. “Where have you been?”

“I was tied up at work. Sorry.” I grab onto her wrist and haul her to me. “Don’t be mad.”

“Iammad. You told me you were going to be here.” Even with her being mad, she still burrows into me.

I squeeze her, apologizing without saying the words.

When I hear girls start screaming, I immediately know Easton is on his way out. “There you are.” He says as he approaches. “How did it go?”

I release Cara and watch as her and Rose go over to our usual spot.

“Fine. He’s a pisser.” My lip tips up at the corner, and I almost laugh when Easton chest shakes with laughter.

“Shit. Wish I could’ve been there.”

“Nah. It was good. Good to do one on my own.”

Easton pulls a joint out of his pocket. “I rolled this up before the fight. Let’s go smoke and chill out a bit. It’s been a fucking long time since we’ve all been here.”

Hell yes. A smoke is just what I need right now.

We walk over to the girls and sit down in the lounge chair, sparking up the J and spending the next few hours relaxing.

It’s easier when the crowd thins out. When people stop buzzing around Easton and wanting a chance to be with the Reaper. You think it would’ve calmed down a bit when he and Rose started getting serious, but if anything, they’ve gotten crazier. Seeing him tied down and attached to someone, they want it. They want him.

Shit’s annoying, mostly when the brazen slutty girls start flaunting their shit at us. We used to be into that, but not so much anymore.

“Jackson, can you take me home now?” Cara says from the chair next to me, feet propped up on my lap. She’s curled on her side, hands cupped together and used as a pillow under her head. She’s falling asleep, which I’m not surprised of. She’s been going to sleep so early these last few months because of the pregnancy.

“Yeah, I’ll take you.” I pick up her feet and set them on the floor. Standing up, I stretch and look over at Easton. “You guys going to head out?”

“Yeah, we’re going to go. Why don’t me and Rose go get the cars. I need to get some shit from the backseat of the truck.”

“Cool.” I reach into my pocket and toss the keys to Easton. He grabs them, and him and Rose head out to get the cars.
