A Criminal's Woman (Charley (The Butcher Gang) x Reader)

Ch. 5: Charley's Lust

You're with the others now. Charley says, "Boys... Miss. Rebecca and..." He looks at you and he smirks and says, "(Y/N) here have returned. I handed that note to that kid, myself to get these two back." You sigh and you smile.

He looks at Barley and Edgar and says, "Tonight, we break into a bank for old times sake, boys." Edgar grins and says, "Ha ha. Yes! Oh, how I missed it, boss." Barley grins and says, "Yarr. As did I, Edgar boy." Edgar says, "Yesiree. It's good to be out, again after so long." 

You say, "Is there anything you need me to do, Charley?" He looks at you and he says, "As I said, doll... Stay behind until you're ready. You've only just seen us for the first time in ten years. Rebecca... stick with her." 

Barley says, "Yarr. Agreein' with Charley boy here. Who knows who could break in with a gal as young as she is? We're a couple a' criminals ourselves, but there be some sick folks out there that could take advantage of a young woman." Rebecca holds you close and she says, "I will. Trust me." Charley says, "Alright, boys. Let's go. Ladies... We'll be back." The guys take off and you and your sister stay behind.

*************************************************

Later on, you and Rebecca are back home. It's been hours since you got back. It didn't take long for Charley and his gang to get to the back to get the money and gold. Anything they could steal. They even robbed a jewelry store. Main reason was for Charley to steal a necklace to give to you. It's a necklace with orange-ish flowers on it. He got them for you and said, "A gift for you, kid." You smiled and replied with, "Awe.~"

You're and Rebecca are both at home. You're on the couch. Your radio is on and playing Did You Ever See a Dream Walking? by Guy Lombardo. You look down at your necklace and you sigh and you smile. Rebecca looks over at you. You say, "This was really sweet of him.~"

Rebecca says, "Like the necklace, huh?" You say, "I don't care what price of the stuff he gives me. I just want to be around HIM, sis." She says, "I mean, hey... He is giving you hints he may be falling for YOU, now. I've noticed his reaction towards you. You are a beautiful young woman, (Y/N)." 

You say, "He means so much to me. Ooh god, I need him close.~" Rebecca says, "Hey. You never know. The necklace he stole for you is hinted. He may want you, as well." You sigh and you say, "I goddamn wish, Rebecca. Just to have the man I'm in love with near me would be a dream come true for me. We could be like... Bonnie and Clyde." You sigh and you say, "Too bad those two were murdered last year."

(This is true. The notorious criminal couple Bonnie and Clyde were murdered. Shot multiple times by their car in 1934. 90 years ago, now. The car is in a museum somewhere with the bullet holes. They died young.)

Rebecca says, "Yeah. I can see that. You two... Oh god." You say, "What's wrong?" You look at her. She looks at you and says, "I hope to god the same thing doesn't happen to you two if you're found out. I don't know what I would do without you in my life, (Y/N). My sister." You say, "I'll still take the risk. There was Romeo and Juliet. Bonnie and Clyde. You name it." 

She says, "Let the couple sixty plus years later meet their fate, instead. YOU live your life as old as you can make it. You hear?" You say, "I'll try." She smiles and nods. You and Rebecca continue talking and listening to the radio.

*****************************************************

After a couple of heists, the boys are back at the warehouse where they currently reside. Charley's sitting back in a chair at the table in the open where there's a small kitchen part with a stove, sink, etc. Barley and Edgar are also at the table.

Edgar smirks and says, "So uh, boss. Any particular reason ya got that necklace for (Y/N)?" Charley says, "Something about the kid... is special, Edgar." Barley says, "Yarr, I see." Charley looks at him. The old man looks at the younger man and says, "Ye be fallin' for the young lassie, Charley." 

Charley sits back and says, "Yeah. So what if I am? Gonna scold me about seein' a younger woman that way?" Barley says, "Nah... I was seein' the signs the moment to two of ya's walked out of your office after she went in there to see ya." Edgar grins and says, "Ooooh... I think I see what happened." 

Charley says, "Nothing happened, Edgar." Edgar says, "Not yet. Wink wink. Nudge nudge.~" He chuckles. Charley says, "Shut it, Edgar... or you'll be danglin' from your own web." Edgar gulps and says, "S-sorry, boss. I'll shut up." Charley says, "That's what I thought." 

Barley says, "He be not far off though, Charley. You're in love with the lassie. She is a beautiful and outgoin' young lady. Is she not? Plus, she supports the three of us like her sister does." Charley sighs and says, "You... You do have a point. I won't lie... (Y/N) is the loveliest thing I'd ever set my eyes on since she grew." 

Edgar says, "Ey, boss. Ya like her, right? Good thing. She had liked YOU for years and years. Even I could tell, then. Ya got somethin' about ya that I would never have with gals. The looks. The deep voice most ideal men have... Nobody likes a spider. She was scared of me at first when she showed up." 

Barley says, "Ah, lad. She was just a wee lassie. Nine years old. No offense Edgar boy, but most kids are afraid of spiders." Edgar says, "Yeah, alright. At least I talked her into it that I wouldn't get to her. Not her. Miss. Rebecca's sister. Besides, I've faced much much worse from my own adoptive father. Always beatin' me, the bastard. Callin' me horrible stuff like spider bitch or condom failure." 

Charley says, "We're all criminals for a reason, Edgar. I've faced horrible times. You just had shitty adoptive parents who drove you to it. I never knew mine. For the better. I was raised by... Well, someone who influenced me to be a criminal." Barley peeks over at him and he winks and nods.

Charley gets up and says, "Well, boys. I think I'm callin' it for the night." He gets up and he stretches his arms up. He says, "Be seeing you both in the morning." Barley says, "Yarr. I best be restin' it up, too." Edgar says, "I ain't tired, yet." Charley says, "Do what you want, Edgar. Just stay out of MY room." Edgar says, "Got it, boss." Both Charley and Barley walk off. 

Edgar gets up and walks to a radio near the stove on a little table. He turns it on and it plays Anything Goes by Paul Whiteman with Ramona Davies on vocals. Edgar smiles and reaches under somewhere. He grabs a bottle of booze and he opens it. He gets back to the table and sits back on a chair. He opens the bottle and he drinks the booze. He says, "Ahh... Great to still be young." 

Right inside the office, through another room; Charley is sitting on his bed. He cannot get you off his mind. Since the moment he saw you, earlier. It's like you're plaguing his mind. Not in a bad way. He's got a cigarette in his hand as he sits there in just a white shirt and black pants with suspenders.

He says, "Ooh, (Y/N). How you've grown, kid." He puffs his cigarette and he exhales the smoke. He says, "I can't stop thinkin' about you, doll. Such a pretty face. Everything about her is perfect. So goddamn perfect. Ooh, hot little thing. I need her as close as possible.~" 

He puts his cigarette out and he lays back on his bed. He sighs and he says, "Whether or not this ruins my reputation as the lead Butcher Gang... I need her. That temptress has gotten to me and she hadn't even tried to seduce me, yet. Ooh, but boy do I wish for that.~" He sighs and he whispers, "Dammit all. I need her around.~" He sits there, thinking about things until he eventually crashes out and goes to bed.
