< Tempting The Mafia Twins

The Wrong Way and The Right Way-2

“How did he find me so fast? Was my backpack tagged?”

“No!” he laughed at her question. “We realized you grabbed it when we pulled the surveillance from the house to see how the hell you got out. We found the busted lamp and knew you were desperate to get back to whoever it was you left back at home.”

“Then how?”

“The guy you stole the motorcycle from,” Tadgh laughed, “he was the entire reason we were in Burbank. For three months we were watching his house where he lives with his mother. We bought the property to keep an eye on him. He is a filmmaker, and he made the mistake of filming some shit he shouldn’t have. He’d tried to extort Dad with the information but then he realized who he was fucking with and backed off. We were trying to get our hands on the originals, but he keeps his house where his mother is locked up tighter than tight. We have his entire place under surveillance, and he knew it, so he was being careful. Our security system caught you scaling his fence and stealing his bike. It was super hot, by the way.”

She looked away at the compliment, “shut up.”

“I was. My dick was stone from watching you straddle a bike 

“No.”

“Don’t want to share?”

She shrugged, “Astra submitted my DNA. It was an email telling me they received the packaging information and will notify me when the sample reaches their office.’

He quirked an eyebrow, “why on earth would she submit your

DNA?”

“It’s been part of our plan from before Egan was even born, Tadgh. You and Kiefer are the Iron Force Gang. I turned your second in command over to the FBI and ran away. Best case scenario if you ever caught me is this.” She waved around them, “worst case scenario, Aoife and Laoise convinced you I commented far worse crimes than they did, and I’d go missing and only parts of my body would be found. If she was going to be looking for me while hiding Egan, the plan was for her to have my DNA in a data base for police forensics if I needed to be identified.”

Tadgh pushed his coffee cup out of the way and reached across the table and took her hands in his, “I promise you, at no time did Kiefer, me or Jerren or my father ever consider you needed to be put down, Genesis. Not even when Kiefer realized you were running with his son, did he consider killing you. You are loved and while we did an abysmal job of showing it, something we will rectify, some of us faster than others. What we will demonstrate to the entire family is we are all on the same page. You are the mother of the incoming heir to this family. Egan is our future, and you are his mother. All the respect in the world will be afforded to you.”

“Your mother doesn’t get the same respect.”

“My mother baby trapped my father with twins, refused to sign a prenup and was fucking someone else within weeks of our birth. She refused to care for us and left us with my grandparents and father. The fact you ran to protect your son already puts you in a class far superior to her. Do not compare apples to oranges Gen.” he played with her fingers. “How are you feeling now? A little better now you’ve ingested some caffeine and a break from Kiefer’s desperation?”

She snorted, “I guess.”

“Then let’s go see the penguins and spend some time with our family.”

As she followed him back towards where her son and Kiefer were, she realized this might have been the first real conversation she’d ever had with Tadgh O’Reilly and, for a man who’d turned a blind eye to her torture, he wasn’t a complete asshole. So, when he held her hand while they walked, she let herself enjoy the moment of being protected, even if she knew doop in her heart it was going to be short-lived.
