Peaches

I stood outside my building enjoying the feel of a cool fall breeze on my skin and night air while night life of the city was just getting going. A Cruiser flew over my head and adds ran on the front of buildings around me.

Human and mutant traffic was few and far in between in the business district. There was money to be made and cases to solve. You just had to walk around and you would find something. A mutant male in a expensive black Goi suit approached me like he was just going to pass me by but he was intent on something.

I was also aware of several other players around me intent on me. I turned to the male however and smiled at him turning toward him. “May I help you with something?”

The male started in surprise like I had caught him off guard. He shook his head. “Pardon me. I was just passing by-“

“No. You weren’t. You wanted to do something to me as a set up for something else. It won’t do you any good lying. Tell me how can I help you?” I asked before I step to the side.

I heard something like buzzing sound strike the pavement behind me. I didn’t look at what it was. I heard someone fire a shot somewhere at a direction above. I focused on the man. He started to say something but then he turned and ran away.

I frowned watching him go a few feet away before my second elder son Rafe kicked him in the chest knocking the man off his feet and then he stomped on the man knocking him out. Rafe then reached down grabbed man’s leg and dragged him away. Rafe looked at me. He was grinning and gave me a wink before he turned left with his prize.

I felt someone behind me. I turned and looked at a chest. I took two steps back and looked up at Cooper. He frowned down at me with silver black sun glasses, leather jacket, black jeans and boots on and a presence of danger with a scent of sage and spice on his body that drifted up to my nose and invaded my senses causing a moment of excitement to rise to my pulse and breasts. I folded my arms across my chest to hide my animal sexual reaction.

“What the fuck are you doing?” K demanded. He stepped forward invading my space.

I took two steps back. “I needed a breather from a late meeting. Not that it’s any of your business. We are not in a formal breeding contract any longer or nomadic arrangement.”

K reached for me wrapping his arm around me drawing me closer up and set his forearm under my backside and lifted me up. I put my arms on his shoulders and frowned at him. “You are making a scene again. What do you want? I have protection surrounding me at all times and security forcefield around my body.”

“Are you waiting for Astro? Your going to have a long wait. He ain’t coming. I already had a conversation with him already. I told you that ain’t happening.”

I frowned at him. “I came outside to get a breather from a meeting. Mr. Astro and I are not in a romantic situation as I have told you numerous times in the past. I have had my children and our approcreation contract is done. That is the reason we were together Mr. Cooper. I am running my business now. You promised me. I heard you had a mistress now. Congratulations.”

K stared blankly at me. “I’m taking you home tonight. I have a bit of trouble with some young punk having an interest in stealing my shit and place. You’ll be sleeping in my bed for a few days. Don’t worry. I won’t be trying to get pregnant again. I told you twelve kids is enough. I got rid of the girl. Thanks for confirming she was talking to you by the way. When I found out she’s been sending messages. You plan on fighting me, Peaches?”

I glared at him. “I do not plan on fighting in any regard.. You will pay the board for the trouble of course.” I said knowing he was only looking to make a fuss. He had already proven to me once who has the power between us and I knew not to defy him.

K nodded and carried me away to his truck.
