COP MARRIES MAFIA

CHAPTER 5: LIES

Alice’s POV

“Atleast the Snake lost his fancy helicopter”, Four remarked happily for the first time since we got discharged out of the infirmary.

“Why do I get this feeling that you are wildly in love with this man secretly ?”, I asked with a complementing eye roll.

“You caught me there, Zero”, Four dramatically said in his faux voice and put his hand over his chest acting like a love sick Madonna. “I just can’t even breathe without him”, he added in his irritating falsetto voice.

“No dude. Like seriously. Hating the leader is understandable but hating the Beta more than the Don is suspicious”, I noted and Four immediately sobered up after that.

“I don’t know, Zero”, Four heaved a sigh. “I have never seen the man but his damn smart mind spurs me on. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean spurring me on sexually as if my c**k begs to pop out. That magic only happens with Cade but coming to the point, it’s just that Snake’s smart brain intrigues me”, he explained with a worried look that said ‘can you understand what I am trying to say’.

“Uh hun. Go on”, I encouraged him.

This was totally a different side of Jake that I was noticing today.

Not the usual hot confident hunk who made all girls wet in their panties or guys cry their d***s out.

He was being like a teenager with a hopeless crush on someone he couldn’t get.

“The way that man strategizes and counter plans always makes me think that he must be so slick and cunning but awesomely cool. I love his code name too- The Snake. I mean it makes you wanna think of his actual python tucked beneath his belt”, Four carried on his monologue in a dreamy voice.

“Oh dear. I can already see myself crying by your gay slutty coffin at the funeral and Cade getting tried for your murder !”, I exclaimed in mock horror.

“Jeez Zero. Way to ruin my secret love for the villain”, he whined.

“Stop pouting or else one of the officers shall snatch those pink lips of yours with theirs. I can literally see them drooling in the imaginary kiss they want to share with you”, I said while smoothly gesturing towards the secret admirers towards our right flank.

“I don’t mind”, Four winked and left me shaking my head beside my car.

Alice’s POV

“Honey ! I am home !!”, I called out as I dropped my bag near the couch and hypnotically glided across the living room towards the source of the aroma and the man responsible for it.

“In here, baby”, my sexy man called out from the kitchen and I instantly wrapped my arms around his waist from behind and he looked so damn hot in that body hugging apron.

He instantly dropped down the ladle and turned off the gas before he spun around and gave me the most fascinating, body yearning, welcoming kiss.

“Mhmm baby”, I moaned as I melted in his soft, mischievous lips.

“Welcome back home, hun”, he smiled and kissed my forehead one last time before he served out the food and I went back to my room to freshen up.

Oh s**t.

I forgot about my shot wound.

I will have to hold him off from touching me tonight.

I came back to the dining table wearing my comfy shorts and Nex’s black shirt and sat beside my gorgeous husband to eat his finger licking food.

It wasn’t odd that I was wearing his shirt because on previous occasions too I had used his shirts to cover up my cuts and scars, and he didn’t seem to mind it either.

“How was your day, baby ?”, I asked as I filled the glasses for the both of us.

“Terrible without you”, he pouted and I giggled at his cheesy answer.

I just can’t stop myself from loving him more and more.

“Those buttery words are toasting me up, Mister”, I giggled and he chuckled back.

“I would love to jam your toasts then”, he husked while deliberately licking off his spoon seductively.

“Not happening tonight babe”, I grinned.

His face instantly fell and he whined, “But why ?”

Ughh. How does he do that ?

How does he suddenly transition himself into an adorable kid from a foxy hot man ?

This is so totally unfair !

“Baby, Aunt Flo decided to be a mood dampener”, I pouted back.

“Does that mean I get to keep my wife the whole day tomorrow when she calls off for leave with stomach cramps ?”, his eyes glistened in excitement.

Uh oh.

This offer is too tempting but I got a shot wound to nurse without him knowing about it and how the hell will I get away from him when my menses actually kick in for real this month.

This double life is actually strangling me now.

This is also the reason I don’t want kids at the moment.

I feel so bad when I see other mothers having a normal and peaceful life with their children.

Guess nothing was meant to be normal in my life except for Nex.

Sigh !

“Baby, you zoned out”, Nex softly said. “Did something happen at work ? You look stressed and something seems off. You are not behaving yourself tonight. Tell me what is wrong, love ?”, Nex cooed.

“Nothing happened, Nex”, I lied. I hate lying but it also comes up naturally to me because of my profession ofcourse. “I am just feeling a bit worried about tomorrow’s meetings. We have an important client coming and I really don’t want to screw the deal for the company”, I explained with believable sighs to keep up my act.

This explanation hit two birds with one stone.

I easily answered the reason for my “stress” and subtly told him I couldn’t take a day off tomorrow !

“I know you will do great, babe”, Nex kissed my forehead as he took my empty plate and put it in the dishwasher. “You are their best employee, Alice. Who can even turn down an offer made by you !”, he exclaimed and I rolled my eyes at his flattering comment.

“My clients are not you, darling”, I laughed and he smirked as he did the dishes.

His arm muscles flexed under his rolled up sleeves as he washed the dishes and it took everything in me to not jump on the sexy hunk and grind myself like a p*****t.

“I am glad about that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you go anywhere near those wolves”, he huffed.

“So are you calling yourself a wolf ?”, I teased.

“Yes and a very possessive and hungry one that too”, he smirked dangerously while the glint in his eyes sparked in mischief.

“Don’t you dare pounce at me, Mr. Oreno”, I laughed heartily as I ran away from him and he chased after me; the both of us laughing gleefully in each other’s company !
