The Mafia's Unexpected Love

Chapter Eight... First Confrontation

*Tommy POV*

I grabbed Emma's hand as we followed Jackson out of the restroom. He was grumbling and whining about his shoulder. "For f***'s sake Jay. Grow a pair will you." I say slightly annoyed. He scoffs and then narrows his eyes at me as he points his finger. "This is all your fault, if you hadn't punched me then I wouldn't be complaining like I am." I just chuckle and then bring Emma close to my body and tighten my grip on her. She gasps slightly and squirms in my arms. I curse under my breath, because the more she moves the harder I get. I lean down and whisper in her ear. "Kitten, if you don't stop moving, my c**k is going to bust at the seams and I might just have to take you in front of everyone. I don't think you want that, do you?" I rasp out. I watch her turn a bright shade of red, then hear her stifle a moan. F**k! She is perfection at it's finest. I look up at Jay and narrow my eyes, "Well if you had not interrupted Emma and I getting to know eachother, then I would not of had to punch you. Now, would I?" Jay just chuckles softly and then shrugs, "That's what younger brother's are supposed to do aren't they? Annoy the f**k out of their siblings? Emma has been through a lot and I just wanted to make sure she was okay. Can't blame me for that. Family is the most important thing." Jay says warmly, "Besides, we have a lot to makeup for. Too.... many years." I let Emma go and embrace my younger brother with a fierceness. He holds me for a second and let's go, he his hesitant, I can feel it. "I promise Jay, I'm not going anywhere. I will never let you out of my life again. I will never let our family get broken up again, no matter what. I am here for good." I say with a strong determination.

Jay's hold tightens and then my father embraces us both. I look over and notice Emma. She has a big smile on her face as she watches us. My heart clenchs tightly as a thought crosses my mind. One I never thought would ever happen in my lifetime. Emma was "The One", I don't know how I knew, but I did. Since the first time I saw her when I walked in this bar tonight, I knew. I couldn't stay away from her. There was a force pulling me to her and no matter what happens, I know from this day forward she will never leave my side, I won't let her, but I know she won't fight me on that, because I know she feels what I am feeling. It is not one-sided. I will protect her from everything and I won't let anyone hurt her. She belongs to me as I belong to her. There will be no mistake about that.

The bar was getting busy and I decided to sit at one of the tables on the far end of the bar. I knew Emma had a job to do and I didn't want to be in her way, but yet I could still keep on eye on her. Father was behind the bar with Jay while Emma was busy serving everyone at the tables. I was busy texting Landon about the situation with my town and got distracted from Emma. I was just about to send a text to Anders, when I heard Emma raise her voice.

"Why can't you leave me alone." she yelled. I frowned slightly and noticed a man grabbing for her hand. She tried to push his hand away, but he grabbed her and was holding her hand in a tight grip. He was angry, that much I could tell. "Sean, you're hurting me. P-please just go away. We are over." she said with determination, but I could feel her pain and see the fear in her eyes. I gritted my teeth and got up. No one hurts my woman. "Emma, we are over when I say we are f*****g over. Trust me the hurt will be far worse if you keep disobeying my orders. Now, it's time to go." he snarled.

"NO!" Emma screamed. I saw my father and brother, but they just stood there doing nothing. What. The. F**k? My brother was gritting his teeth angrily and my father was clenching his fists tightly by his side, but they didn't make a move to help. Well, I on the other hand would not let this keep going on in front of me. "I believe the lady told you no. I suggest you take your f*****g hands off of her, before I remove them myself." I said with a deadly calmness. Emma looked at me with relief, but also I could sense her fear. "Did you just f*****g say something to me motherf****r? You dare threaten me? Do you even know who I am? I am Sean Maddox. My family runs this town!" Sean says dangerously low, "Now let's go Emma, you are my girlfriend and no one will dare to stand in my way." I just chuckle darkly and grab his arm that has Emma and dig my nails into it. He flinches and his grip loosens enough that I grab Emma and push her behind me. "Yeah, well you obviously don't know who I am, because if you did, then you wouldn't be f*****g with me or my woman!" I snapped out angrily. "Your woman? What the f**k is he talking about Emma? You belong to me!" he lashes out. I look at Emma and nod my head at her for encouragement.

She bites her lip nervously for about a minute or so, then finally decides to answer Sean. "He is telling the truth Sean. I am Tommy's woman. So just leave me alone. I don't belong to you." she says sternly. That's my good girl. I look at Sean with a smug look, then grab Emma's hand and lead her towards the back. "Hank? Jackson? Are you really going to let this piece of s**t talk to me like this? My grandfather will hear about this. Mark my words." Sean gritted out. "I will let him and you can tell Jensen that I am tired of running. My son has more rights here than you ever will." my father says proudly. "Son? What are you talking about? I am talking about that f****r, not Jackson." Sean says with annoyance. My father opens his mouth to speak, but I raise my hand to stop him.

"My name is Tommy Branson and you can tell your family that I am back and there is nothing they can do about it. Let them know that the Mafia King has been informed and he is not very happy that he was disrespected and blantaly disobeyed. He is extremely pissed that he was never called about the order of this town. He owns this country, you and your family just f****d yourselves royally." I say with a dangerous tone. I feel Emma tense, but I look up and see my father's face. He is frowning. Jay has a surprised and shocked look on his face. "W-what do you mean? You're bluffing! There is no way Landon Kingston knows anything." Sean says worriedly. "I guess you'll have to take my word for it then." I say calmly. "I'll be back. There is no where you can hide Emma. You belong to me. Prepare for a fight, because I won't allow this to happen again." Sean says as he snaps his fingers at his men as he walks towards the exit and they follow him out. "You have a lot of explaining to do son!" my father growls. I just shake my head and sigh dejectedly. It's going to be a long f*****g night.
