Tempting The Mafia Twins (Genesis and Kiefer) novel Chapter 62

Bedtime–2

He chuckled, the warm tones rolling over her like a blanket, “I

was the same with the boys. All I needed to do was give them a look and they were back in line. Your father’s name was Austin Jones, right?”

“Yes, and my mom’s name was Wanda.”

“They were originally from Florida?”

She shrugged, “I always thought so but then when I was put in foster care, in my first home, I got picked on because of my

accent.”

“Your accent?”

“Yes. I guess I spoke with an accent. I spoke English and only English but apparently, I spoke with an accent.”

“What kind of accent could a man with the name Austin

Jones have? Was he from Texas with the southern twang? It shouldn’t have been so pronounced you got picked on by

other kids for it.”

“Ng. More eastern European, I guess. Russian or Ukrainian 95

something along those lines. It’s funny. I haven’t thought of this since I was seven or eight. I forgot all about it.” She looked at his face again, “weird, right?”

“It is weird. You were adopted though. You were a fire station baby, right?”

“Yes. There was a news article and everything. My Mom showed it to me once. It was a newspaper article. I suspect

my birthmother must have been a teen or something.”

“Do you have copies of your birth certificate and adoption

records?”

“My birth certificate was always kept in my wallet. It’s just

a little card. My adoption records are here. I left everything

behind when I ran. Unless Kiefer got rid of them.”

“I doubt he even knew they were here. He told me how he

didn’t even realize your backpack was still here.”

“My wallet and purse were given to me by Mary because

she’d grabbed it for me when she took me to the hospital, so

I’d have my insurance cards but other than what was in it, I left here with nothing.”

“You were very brave, Genesis. To not only leave us the way

you did but to go into the world on your own while pregnant.”

“I was always on my own before. It wasn’t anything I wasn’t

used to.”

“You learned to shoot.”

“I did. I never followed up to see what the fallout was from

the FBI tip. I knew it wasn’t enough to hold him for long, but it

was also possible they would have been able to use it as an in or a way to dig deeper. If he was charged with anything then it was possible there was a hit on me, and I needed to learn to protect myself.”

“You doubted his love so much you thought he’d kill you?”

“He’s not the head of this family. He’s second in command.”

“You thought I’d put a hit on you?” he laughed. “The only hit I

want to put on you is putting you over my knee and slapping

your ass for staying away so long.”

Her eyes rounded at the comment. She cleared her throat

nervously and stared at the night stand away from his gaze. “Spanking?”

“Yes. You will get spankings Genesis if you misbehave. Any plots in your head to run away from home or to find a way to escape the family and take Egan from what is rightfully his, will get you a punishment.”

“I’ve never been spanked.”

“You will be.”

“What makes you so sure?”

“Because you have a mouth on you, and you are not a doormat, and you like to argue and fight. While the twins will put up with disrespect, I won’t. As an example, your eyes followed my gun into the nightstand and I know, for a brief moment you were calculating how you could get your hands on it while I’m sleeping and force your way out of here.”

“No.”

“Don’t lie to me Genesis.”

The deep gravelly tone of his voice caused goosebumps to rise all over her flesh.

“It came and went in a flash. I wouldn’t.”

“You couldn’t,” he said bluntly. “I sleep with one eye open and more importantly the gun in the nightstand is actually state of the art and can only be fired by me. It needs my palm print.”

She looked to him in surprise. “That’s kind of cool.”
