“Lord help me not kill this woman!” Laura mumbled, looking up at the sky, pleading for patience.
“It’s all good lass. It’ll just be ye lasses for the next four days after tomorrow.” Highlander kissed his wife, calming her down.
“No, we’ll have Cody and Willy dear.”
“We’re not taking the boys with us?” Swede asked, confused. “I thought we were taking them so we could get them initiated the SEAL way?”
“You boys…want to take a twelve-year-old and a four-year-old…into the woods…camping?” Laura asked, pausing every few words, making sure she looked at each man for a few seconds before looking at Highlander.
“Aye! I was William’s age when my da took me camping with my older brothers and a few of his SAS buddies.” Highlander shrugged, looking over at the boys. “I know Cody will have a blast, William, he’d probably get cranky with the hikes and stuff, but I think it’ll be good for him.”
“Plus, after the incident in the kitchen the other day, I think it’ll be good for us to start working with little Willy about what a man really is.” Snake chimed in, backing Highlander up.
“You boys do realize, you can’t call us females to come save your asses when the little one starts crying and getting crabby, right?” Diesel reminded the men, laughing hysterically at the thought.
“Ye do realize William is my son. I may not have been around Cody when he was this age, but, I am their father. I think I can handle my boys without their mum to save my arse.” Highlander reminded Diesel, feeling a little perturbed at her statement.
Ignoring Diesel’s statement, Laura walked over to her husband, putting her hands on his cheeks to pull him down for a kiss. “If you’re sure hun, I think Cody and William would both love to spend some quality time with their dad. Just know, when you get back, you’ll have to do something with just you and Ryleigh, so she doesn’t feel like her ‘da’ likes the boys more than her.”
“I will lass. I also want to spend some quality time with my sexy as hell wife as well.” Highlander winked, kissing Laura.
“Gross, get a room you two!” Diesel gagged at the mushy display.
“One of these days lass, ye arse will be doing the mushy shite and I’m going to make all kinds of noises when ye do.” Highlander warned Diesel.
“Not in this life squid. Not in this life!”
“Shit, I’m waiting for the day she finds her an alpha man who bends her ass over and spanks it!” Cortez laughed, wiggling her eyebrows up and down at Diesel.
“Yeah, not happening, ho! First man who tries will get his dick severed with a rusty butterknife, balls included.” Diesel mimicked slicing a man’s privates off and throwing it over her shoulders, not having a care in the world.
“Alrighty then, no spanking, no alpha male, no mushy stuff. So, she’s looking for a munich she can boss around and not perform.” Joker pretended to write the information down on a air pad.
“She’s basically looking for a slave!” York cracked, smirking over at Laura.
“Or a new battery-operated boy toy.” Laura chimed in, yelping when Highlander popped her on the ass, smirking.
“Ha ha, you bitches think you’re so funny.” Diesel deadpanned at her friends.
“She’ll cut a man for spanking her ass, I’d hate to see what she’d do to a man if he cuffed her hands to something.” Swede joked, stepping back just as Diesel swung out to hit him in the arm, laughing.
“I’d cut a bitch if he thought he could cuff me to something. I don’t do none of that kinky shit you alpha boys are into!”
“Don’t mock what you haven’t tried, Diesel.” Sadie winked at Diesel as she turned around and went into the house, leading the way.
“All you heifers are cray cray, me thinks!” Diesel quipped, shaking her head as she ducked when York reached out to smack the back of her head.
Chapter 4
“When areyou boys headed out for the woods?” Cortez asked the group of men who were sitting around laughing at the latest prank Joker played on a fellow SEAL back in San Diego.
“We’re leaving in the morning. We’ll drive up to the camp site parking lot, then hike the rest of the way via the trail we’ve mapped out. Since we have the two boys with us, we’re going to take the easier route than the one we’d normally take.” Hank informed the women, kissing Sadie on the side of her head.
“Are you guys sure about taking Cody and Willy?” Laura asked the group of men. “Cody, I know will enjoy it, since he loves doing everything with Joe and the gang. But, little Willy has never done anything like this…”
“Lass…” Highlander said, leaning over towards Laura. “It will be fine. He will have fun too. It’s time he learned how we did this, especially since this is just the beginning of the things we will be teaching him through the years.”
“Okay. I don’t want to hear Joker and your boys bitching when they come back because Willy drove them insane. He’s four years old and will drive them nuts. You and Hank will be able to handle it, but I’m afraid the others will hate you by the time…”
