Chapter 34
Aleck
It’s time we got this shit under control. We were sitting in the police station, looking at the detective. When we left there, we still didn’t have a definite answer from the supposed attackers. We told Detective Rawlins about the accusation of Rea Kingsley. He said he would need to speak to Layla, so we told him we would return with her.
When we got home, we were at the front door. Dean was about to get out when I stopped him. “What is it?”
“She said the person said they were closer than we thought. What if Rea isn’t the only person?“.
“Do you think Mallory and Nella are involved in this, or Chris and Andrew?” he asked me.
“I don’t know, Dean, but if Rea hid that side of her for so long, then someone else can too.”
“Okay, we’ll put the four of them to the test and see what happens,” he said, looking at me.
“Don’t let her know we suspect any of them, or she may get pissed. It doesn’t matter; she can get mad for as long as she wants. Who’s monitoring Lexi, Tina, and her ex?”
“Star is on them. Huy.also monitoring Miranda. We need to get Kevin to visit the company she works for and find out exactly why she was fired,” he said, looking at me.
“We will. You want in go get her, or should 17~ 1 asked him.
“…” He was looking outside to the back. I looked in the direction he was looking in and saw her walking with the help of Marcella. “She’s walking again,” I said quietly.
“Aleck, I feel, for some reason, I believe she’s going to pull another runner.
I looked at him. “Don’t say anything. I just really feel that way. We decided that if she asks for an out, we will give her one. That was before we took her. I don’t think I can let her leave, Aleck.”
I looked at him. “I wanted to talk to you about that also. Last night when she said she wanted to leave… I can’t let her go, Dean. We can’t let her go. There is one way to keep her with us; there is one sure–fire way to make sure she doesn’ty leave,” 1-said, looking at him,
He smiled at me, he already knew what I meant. “Let’s get her back to the palice station, then we’ll work on that,” he said, jumping out of the car. If she’s pregnant, she’ll have no choice but to stay, I know it’s wrong and selfish of us, but she was all we ever wanted, and some fucker was trying to run her off, and one tried to kill her. Now that we know what is afraid for us, we’ll be doubly careful and cautious with her.
The car door opened, and Dean put her in. The minute she saw me, she smiled. She leaned into me and kissed me. “Hi,”
“Hi, baby girl. Are you okay?”
“Tibetter now that both of you are here,” she said, her hands on my thighs. Fuck, she was getting touchy, Marcella got into the front seat, and Dean got in next to her. The minute the door was closed, she had her hands on him too,
“I want something from both of you,” she whispered.
“Anything you want, baby girl,” I said.
“Anything you want, princess, it’s yours.” Dean said, looking at her,
“I want you tonight, both of you at the same time.” After her declaration, she squeezed me through my jeans, and she did the same to Dean
This girl was going to kill us,
“We’ll talk about it when we get home, princess,” I said, trying to defuse what was about to happen. I looked to the front. Marcella and Diego were unaware of what was happening. They were engrossed in their own conversation.
“Okay, just know I aim to get it. Where are we going?” she asked casually, as af she
as af she didn’t just say something we didn’t expect to hear
“Police Station. The detective wants to know what happened with Rea, Aleck said,
“Okay,” she said, but continued caressing us the entire ride. When we got to the station, I was already at the point of losing it. When we walked in, we saw

Rawlins. I saw the way he looked at her, and it bugged me. I tumed and already found Aleck looking at me with raised eyebrows.
When we got to his office, he looked at Marcella. “And who is this?”
“Oh, this is my name, Marcella James. I always need her with me,” Layla said casually.
I saw the way he looked at me. It didn’t go unnoticed by the brothers either. I sat facing the detective that introduced himself as Rawlins.
“Okay, Ms. Tavers. Can you tell me what he
happened?”
ng to understand it.
I told him everything I remembered from that day. I could see it in his eyes; he was trying
“Okay, Mr. Cavanaugh, are these your friends?” he asked. I didn’t like the way
idn’t like
pronounced the word “friends”
“No, they aren’t. They are both, in simple and understanding terms, my lovers, boyfriends, fiancés–whatever you feel is best to name our relationship,” said, as if it was something normal..
“I’m sorry. You’re in a relationship with both of them?”
“Yes, I am. Why, is there a problem?”
“Umm, no, I just never heard anyone admit to a relationship like that before.”
“Well, that is the truth.”
“Okay, then this is going to be difficult because there is no video evidence of the attack, and it will be your word against hers, and I’m not sure it won’t hold up in front of a judge. If you can get her to admit to it, a confession, that would work.”
“Then thank you for your time. Seeing as the law needs evidence, and we don’t have any, we’ll make do,” I said, standing up. Marcella helped me up, and we left. Dean and Aleck were still in his office. When we got back to the car, I was quiet for a minute.
We were halfway home when made the decision. “Call the others over tonight. I have a plan on how to deal with Rea.” I said, looking forward
1, that’s not happening. She tried to kill you and will try again if she gets the chance, Aleck sail,
“Layla, i
“I know, and that’s what I want. Diego, how long would it take to get the entire house covered in cameras?” I asked him,
“An hour at most, Ms.” he adswered casually,
“okay,
7, when we return home, can you have that done? Ignore your bosses for a few hours. I’ll handle them,” I said, while stretching out both my arms and grabbing their thighs. When we got home, Dean picked me up and took me straight up to his room. Aleck walked in a few seconds later, and they both stood looking at me.
“I’ll explain the other thing when the others get here later. Now, about what I said, I mean it. Don’t give me what I want, and I’ll raise hell. You know I’m. good for it. I want you both tonight”
For some insane reason, I needed them. Both of them.
“That’s not happening, princess. We’re not going to hurt you like that,” Dean said, looking at
Π
“We’ll give you anything, baby girl, but not that,” Alock said, looking at
“And I said that’s what I want.”
“And we said no,” Aleck said. I saw the look on their faces, and they were serious.
“Gel out!” I said, pointing at the door.
“Layla.”
Tho! Get out! I don’t want to see either of your unless you give ine what I want.”
“Fine,” Dean said, walking out the door, followed by Aleck. I knew they would say no, but eventually, they’ll cave, I knew them too well. I lay down and took a nap. I woke up to someone touching me. When I opened my eyes, Marcella was standing by the bed.
“It’s almost five, Ms. Your friends are here also. Diego said the cameras have been installed. Why don’t you get up and have a shower? I’ll wait for you,” she
said, smiling.
“Okay. Where are Dran and Aleck?”
“They’ve been in their office since we returned. They just came out when your friends showed up.”
“Okay.”
