Bea Messina

Walking towards the door, I take a deep breathe and run a hand through my hair.

I sigh and open the door to reveal an aggravated Ace. "Hey Ace," I say with a smirk.

"Bea, I see your back in the house, and having a bonfire?" He asks leaning around me to see the fire in the backyard.

"Nope just burning the blankets you had sex with Isabelle on." I answer with a straight face.

"And why're you doing that?" Ace asks with a cocked brow.

"Because I don't want any piece of that slut in my house." I answer scoffing walking into the kitchen.

He steps in the door slightly to reveal Isaac and Raphael behind. They both step in and give an awkward wave, closing the door behind them. 

"How long are we staying Jack? William called and said we have another shipment next week." Jackson informs me as he joins me in the kitchen.

"Tell him we should be back, if not, he can distribute and deal with it." I answer grabbing two waters from the fridge and throwing one to Jackson.

"Jack eh? Guess you don't like the name Bea anymore?" Ace says with a sly smirk. I just scoff and shake my head.

"Who are these people?" Jackson asks me, looking them over.

"This is Ace, Raphael and Isaac. They're from The Bronze Lions." I explain pointing to each of the men I used to know in front of me.

"Is that all we are now? Rival gang members? I'm hurt we're not friends Bea." Raphael says placing a hand over his heart with his usual smirk.

"Speaking of friends, where's Weston? I need my vehicles and my puppy." I say clapping my hands together.

"He'll be down in a bit. And you can go get your car and bike, we know you won't let us touch them." Ace says smiling like he's remembering a fond memory.

"Yo Willis! Kirk! Get in here!" I yell into the backyard, calling the two brunettes inside.

They step up and nod, "Go with Isaac and grab my bike and car. Kirk, you get to drive my car." I say throwing them the keys. They nod and follow a serious Isaac out the door.

"You let them drive?" Raphael asks in a playful tone.

"Mainly Kirk, that's only because his father was the one to give me the Devil in the first place." I explain with a bit of a smile.

"You seem different Bea." Ace says out of the blue.

"I am." I say sighing, "The whole drama really made me open up my eyes, finally I took control of my life and stopped letting people take care of me." I explain proudly.

"Well let me just say, you look good Bea. Things have been different around here with you gone." Ace as he seemingly observes my features.

Without knowing it, I get lost in his beautiful eyes like I used to not so long ago.

"Well, being the most feared gang in America has treated me well." I say smiling at the things I've done in the past eight months.

"I wish you would move back into the house, the guys really miss you."  Raphael says with a genuine smiles that seems contagious at this point.

"If I moved the gang down here, how mad would they be?" I ask turning to Jackson to see Matt and Nolan have joined us.

"They love you, they're willing to do anything you say. Besides, school is starting again in a month and we all have to complete our senior year." He says crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well, let them know, we're moving." I say smiling. They nod and all three of them go upstairs to make a call.

Raphael whispers to Ace and then leaves as well, now it's just me and him.

"Get a new tattoo?" He asks smirking, looking to the bit of my exposed stomach. I nod and he lifts my shirt up a bit to see the Grim reaper tattooed on my rib. With one hand holding the bottom of my shirt, his other hand traces over the tattoo, causing me to shiver.

"Why this?" He asks placing his whole hand on it.

"For all the lives I took to take this gang." I whispered closing my eyes, enjoying the warmth his hand radiates into my body.

"Have any other new tattoos I should know about?" He asks, whispering in my ear.

I shiver and at his hot breath against my neck and slightly nod. "Where's this one?" He asks, smirking against my ear.

Turning around in his arms, he lifts the bottom of my shirt again to reveal the Forsaken mark next to my ace of spades. Again, he places his entire hand on it, causing me to shiver at the contact. Sparks erupt from where he touches and I find myself closing my eyes and biting my lip and the feeling. Smoothly, he wraps his arms back around my waist and pulls my back flush against his chest.

"I've missed you." He whispers against me neck as he lightly kisses my shoulder. "You've been gone for a long time." He says kissing my jaw.

"I've had things to do." I whisper tilting my head to the side to give him more access to my neck.

He smirks against my skin and kisses the side of my neck, leaving love bites all over. "The guys are going to be pissed." I say giggling, biting my lip.

"And why is that?" He asks, continuing to lightly kiss my shoulder.

"They all think your an asshole." I say turning in his arms with a smirk.

He shakes his head and smiles. Looking back into my eyes, I see something else, something I thought I saw all that time ago.

Slowly he leans in and before I do anything, he softly places his lips against mine.

I place my arms around his neck and pull him in even closer, feeling him smirk against my lips. Moments later, I feel his tongue trace my bottom lip, asking for entrance. Smirking, I deny him and I hear him groan a bit. Without warning, his hands slither down to my ass and harshly grab it. I gasp and he quickly takes the opportunity to slither his tongue into my mouth.

I feel him smirk against my lips again and I just smile, deepening the kiss.

"Uh, boss?" A man's voice asks from behind us, causing us to quickly separate.

"Yes?" We both say as soon as we separate, looking to see a confused Weston.

"Hey Bea, good to see your back, Yuli's at the house for whenever." He says looking at me.

Quickly, his attention goes back to Ace, "There's been gang activity just down the street, but I guess I know why now." He says shaking his head and glancing back over at me.

I look at myself and see I still have my arms around Ace's neck. I quickly drop them to my sides and attempt to back up, but am stopped by the grip he has on my waist.

Groaning, I quickly pinch his arm and he instantly let's go with a bit of a scowl.

I smirk and walk upstairs to see Jackson, Matt and Nolan staring at me.

"What?" I ask curiously.

"Nothing." Jackson says in a suggestive tone with a smirk.

They all chuckle and shake their heads, turning away to look at the view. "Anyways, we found a house big enough down the street and the rest of the gang members should be here in about two weeks." He says leaning up against the railing on my balcony.

"That's good, how did they handle it?" I ask standing next to him and looking out into the city.

"Surprisingly well, they were more than happy since this is a safer school district for some of them that have children. They also loved that were forcing the teenagers to go to school instead of handling the deals." He answers smiling.

Smiling, I shake my head and sigh, still observing the city lights.

Abruptly, Willis and Kirk walk into the room. "Both vehicles are safe and sound in the garage. And might I add, your Indian scout? Purrs like a kitten." Willis said throwing me the keys.

I giggle and catch the keys as Kirk throws his as well.

"I'm gonna walk over there and see the guys, pick up my puppy. You guys stay here, order some food, I'll be back in a bit." I say walking towards the door. I see them nod and I continue out the door.

I walk downstairs to find Weston and Ace still there. "I'm gonna walk down to the house and see the guys and pick up Yuli if that's alright with you?" I say catching their attention.

"Of course, I'll walk with you." Ace says smiling. I nod and he follows me out the door.

"How did school end last year?" I ask as we walk down the sidewalk in silence.

"It was alright and I have to warn you, someone else from the team joined our gang." He says in a wary voice.

"Oh? Who?" I ask stopping.

He stops and sighs, turning around to face me. "Spencer."

I sigh and shake my head, "I know you don't like him that much but he's a big part of helping most of our deals go through." He explains quickly.

"Fine, but if he pisses me off, I won't hesitate to send him to next week." I say starting to walk again with my arms crossed over my chest.

I hear Ace chuckle and follow close behind.
