it.”
“Brandon didn’t hit Fiona. He loves that bitch though I don’t know why…well, actually I do. She could be a dead-ringer for his mam if she had taken care of herself, and hadn’t allowed her life to get out of her control. Fiona has an issue of being faithful and chances are she fucked some random guy at a club and he roughed her up a bit. The only thing she is good at is having them wear condoms. Last thing she wants to do is bring something home to Brandon.”
“I don’t know,” I began, “Patrick and Clara were just so mean to me—it’s like they hate me for giving them a gift they couldn’t get on their own. They didn’t want me to spend any extra time with Kieran, and they totally acted really strange. I think they honestly thought I was going to pick him up, and walk out of the house with him but why would I do that? How much sense does that make when I am in college and he’s our secret? You know how much trouble I would get in if any of those tabloids ever found out the truth? Athena Donahue’s daughter knocked up at fifteen and gives birth to a secret baby?”
“And with someone like me? Basically an Irish gangster who is no better than a drug dealer? Yeah, that is enough to ruin someone’s career. All I know is there was a serious issue that happened with Kieran when he was a baby. This is all passed along the grapevine shit because I wasn’t here but since then, they have been ultra protective of him. They left the state, settled in New Haven, and make it their business to visit this place as little as possible. Basically, they come enough to keep up appearances and that is it.”
I sat up and stared into his gorgeous crystal blue eyes. “Is this what Dylan told you?”
“Yes, and no. Fiona told me a bit and so did Chloe because she was around at the time. I seriously don’t think they see you as a threat. At least they shouldn’t because of who you are, and who would you say the child belonged to? Plus, just like you indicated, you’re in college so what the hell are you going to do with a four-year-old kid?”
I wanted to get off this topic as soon as possible. “About this drop tonight, tell me how a typical one goes and what I should expect? Will you and Dylan allow me to take a weapon?”
“Can you still handle a nine-millimeter or should I find something a bit smaller for those girly hands of yours?” Finn questioned in a joking manner.
“Fuck you,” I said before we both burst out laughing.
“Honey, I would love to do just that…all night but we gotta go get you fixed up first.”
I crossed my arms over my breasts. “Since when do you do everything my mother demands of you? You’re not scared of her are you?”
“Yes, if I am being truthful. You know she threatened to cut off my balls and feed ‘em to me if I ever did anything like our little incident that happened when you were fifteen. I love you—who am I kidding?—I fucking adore you but I am not about to lose my balls to have sex with you. The next time we make love, I want it to be special and I want you protected because I don’t bareback with just anyone and I certainly don’t want to wear a condom, not with you.”
I leaned over and kissed his mouth ever so softly. “Something tells me you have been a bad boy while I was gone. I am sure your you-know-what has been in quite a few what’s-its since I have been gone.”
“What the hell, Evie, what are we? Twelve? What’s-its and you-know-what? Why don’t you call them a penis and a vagina or their pejorative names, which would be a cock and a pussy? I think we are a bit too old to be hinting around to adult body parts.”
I laughed out loud as he shook his head. “You’re so serious. Lighten up, Finn. Jeez, sometimes I wonder if you’re my first love or my father. I didn’t mean to offend your delicate sensibilities—”
“Ha-ha, very funny. Forgive me if I don’t think you accompanying Dylan and I for a drop is cute or
