Jett

5 - I knocked someone up?

Jett

There’s a reason they call him Hammer, sonofabitch hits like a sledgehammer. The fact I’m the VP of this MC, and the cunt hit me is not cool!

Of course, I hit him back. Come on, I’m not a fuckin.g idio.t. But the fact he pushed Maria down, literally pushed her to the ground, set my blood boiling.

What kind of man is he all of a sudden?

And the prick wonders why I suddenly think he might turn on my sister?

I didn’t even find out what Maria needed to talk to me about!

It took my dad, the President of Snakes Henchmen, to pull me off of Hammer. He might be a big bastard, but I am no weak man. Fighting amongst Brothers is never allowed without good reason and permission from Shepard. What happened here was a damn good reason! Hammer basically hit a woman! His own sister!

As Shepard stands between Hammer and me, his face like thunder, I’m not sure he won’t beat the shi.t out of us. “What the fuc.k is going on?”

“Nothing,” I mumble while staring Hammer down. I never expected him, of all people, to do what he did. He knows he’s done wrong. He knows hitting a woman is never acceptable. Not by this MC, anyway.

If I were to tell Shepard what Hammer did, there would be uproar. My dad would have Hammer beaten the shi.t out of. There are rules we are to abide by, and the man who enforces them just broke them in anger. I never thought I’d live to see the day.

However, I won’t say anything to Shepard because my sister doesn’t need that right now.

I’ve made my point.

“Don’t tell me nothin’!” My father yells. However, my attention is pulled away from everything else around me as I watch Maria run to her car.

“Daddy, it was just a misunderstanding. They’re fine now.” Nova smiles at him. But Shepard is not convinced. Nova turns to me. “Go after her. She really needs to speak with you. Don’t let her leave.” I narrow my eyes. “Please, Jett.”

“He’s not going anywhere until somebody explains what the hell just happened here! Don’t bother telling me again that it’s nothin’. If it were nothin’, Willow wouldn’t have come running to find me in fuckin’ tears!”

“I’ll explain everything,” I nod at Tank in thanks. “Let them sort the girls out.”

I don’t wait for a reply. I should have, but I don’t. Maria is already getting in her car. If she drives away, I won’t see her again, for I don’t even know how long. There was something important she needed to tell me; that’s the reason she came here. It was important enough to risk hell from Hammer. I owe her the chance to explain herself.

I rush over to Maria’s car faster than I’ve ever run in my damn life before. I bang on her window just as she turns the key in the ignition, and she jumps and screams. She smiles slightly when she sees me, and she has such sad eyes. Why Hammer has to be such a cunt to her is beyond me.

I motion for Maria to get out of the car. She does slowly. She looks so fuckin.g hot in that dress. I have to give my head a shake to ward off thoughts about fuckin.g her stupid against her car. Inappropriate at fuc.k right now!

That asshole Rick had the same idea, and I beat the fuckin’ shi.t out of him for touching her! The second I rushed toward them, I saw him push her against the car and touch her, heard him say he was gonna fuc.k her where she stood. I saw red and floored the motherfucke.r. I won’t have a fuckin’ prospect disrespect any woman like that, and he will die for what he did, you mark my words.

I haven’t been able to get Maria out of my head this past couple of months. No matter which club whor.e I fucke.d, no matter how beautiful her puss.y, they’re not Maria.

I should never have touched her, the Mafia Princess. I knew what would happen if Vidal found out I’d even looked at his sister like that. Come on, the man wanted Ghost dead for touching Avery. He even beat the shi.t out of him for it. It was only Hammer, and the fact Vidal is his brother that saved Ghost.

I’m not sure he’d be so forgiving twice.

But I couldn’t stop myself. Maria was so fuckin.g beautiful that it made my eyes sting. Her hair was so soft and smelled of crushed berries, one sniff, and I was hooked. The way her full curves felt in my hands was like nothing I had ever felt before. Those huge brown eyes of hers burned me to my very soul. I had to have her.

I’d be a damn liar if I said I didn’t want her right now. I want her so bad I’m going insane! Having her this close, being able to smell her perfume, every sinew in my body is tingling.

“I’m sorry, Jett,” She shrugs her shoulders. “I didn’t mean to come here and cause you to fight with two of your men.”

“Hey,” I take her beautiful face in my hands. “What happened here was not your fault, not with Rick and not with Hammer. Did Hammer hurt you?” I turn her hands over; they’re grazed, and so are her knees.

Fuckin.g Hammer!

“My stomach hurts a little.” Her voice was so low it was hard for me to hear her. I watch her holding her stomach.

“Did you bang it?”

“I don’t know.” She suddenly burst into tears.

It shocks me.

Maria doesn’t strike me as the kind of woman to cry over much of anything. She’s strong. I guess even strong women break down sometimes. Her brother throwing her down like that affords her every right to cry.

“I’m pregnant, Jett, and it’s yours. That’s what I came here to tell you.”

The whole world seems to be standing still. I’m frozen to the spot, my mind empty, my stomach full of lead.

I knocked someone up?

This woman right here?

The Mafia Princess?

Sister of Draven Vidal?

Oh shi.t!

“Please say something, Jett.”

“Pregnant? Mine?” She nods her head. “How in the hell...?”

“One of the condoms must have broken. I’m not making this up, I promise you. You’re the only man I’ve been with in a while. I know it seems like I waited months before coming here. But I swear I haven’t known all that long. God, I’m so scared, Jett,”

She’s scared?

Fuc.k it all to hell! I’m not afraid of what her brother will do to me, even though I know I’m a dead man because of this, but I am scared of becoming a father. I’m not cut out for this shi.t.

Don’t be stupid, Jett; you won’t live long enough to meet that kid. This isn’t like Ghost and Avery. No one will save you from this.

“Jesus Christ!” I’m not yelling at Maria; I’m too f*****g shocked for that. Fuc.k! “Hammer pushed you down.” I clasp her stomach, and she winces. “You’re in pain.”

“This wasn’t supposed to happen. I was just supposed to come here and tell you about the baby because I need to know what to do.”

“What do you mean? You know what? We can talk about this later. I’m taking you to get checked out.”

She nods; not an ounce of refusal is given.

I may not have wanted kids, and I’m not sure I still do, but if Maria wants to keep the baby, then I’m keeping them both, and I dare anybody to tell me otherwise.

I’ll deal with Vidal and whatever he throws my way. I’ll make him see that I can take care of his baby sister. I’ll fuckin.g marry her behind his back if I have to.

I don’t care what I have to do. Maria is now mine, end of story.
