please remember to vote and comment my lovessss

Taylor swallowed hard, the blood dripping off of the tie in Travis hands as the whole room almost shook their had simultaneously. They weren't stupid. If anyone disagreed now they were dead.

Travis grunted, throwing the tie into the fireplace, wiping his hands on his pants before walking over to Taylor, wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her close and mumbling into her ear, while his hand caressed the curve of her ass.

"I wont let any of them disrespect you, if any do , you tell me and they'll be taken care of."

Taylor nodded and wrapped her arms around him, burying her head in the crook of his neck which she could only reach with her heels mumbling a quiet thank you. Even if it was with a guy she knew Travis would protect her. Or at least for now.

Travis pulled away looking over at Patrick grabbing a book out of the shelf behind him. The family book of his "business" .

"every single person in this room will swear loyalty to your future queen. You will swear to never harm or hurt her and you will protect her at any cost or you can join Alwyn out there." He announced, his voice booming over his partners while he pulled Taylo to his side, gently putting his hand under her chin and moving it up to stand proudly.

"go." He ordered when no one seemed to move and they immediately scrambled and lined up each of them having to put down and oath. One of them had been agreeing with Joe earlier and Travis noticed the little shift in Taylors demeanor when it was his turn so after he put down the oath Travis stopped him in his Tracks.

"kneel and kiss her shoes." Travis ordered. Taylor tried to protest but he shook his head, focusing his gaze on the man before him.

"the only part of her you will ever get to lay so much as your lips on is the one she uses to walk over dirt like you so fucking kneel before your queen."

The party cleared out after that since Taylor was still pretty shaken up from what had happened there but Brittany and Pat stayed a bit longer so that he and Travis could figure out how to replace Joe in business ad Taylor could spend some more time with the kids.

She loved doing so, playing with them and talking ti Brittany while she did so.

"he really must love you, I have never seen him this angry or well upset about something like someone just saying something. Of curse what he said was disgusting beyond believe don't get me wrong but still, he wouldn't even have acted that way for Kayla."

Taylor frowned softly. She had heard the name before , Travis ex but he hadn't even mentioned her once, not said a thing. No mater how close she felt they started to become he still kept a good part of him locked away and hidden, not opening up.

"man you are so whipped, but did you have to shoot him?" Pat sighed as they looked for another supplier, none of them being able to give them a deal like they had had with the Alwyn.

"you heard what he said about her, it was disgusting. How could I work with someone knowing that he makes her feel like that? Knowing he's basically a pedophile? We both know its for the better this way. Taylor she's- she didn't have the easiest of lives. She went through a lot even if she's as young as she is. I'm not ever going to let her be in a situation like that or having her feel like she used to again. I'm not gonna work with anyone who makes young woman feel like that."

Pat raised his brows. "so John..."

"cut off the moment I take over. The girls that want to can stay the other can have a job in the business if they want to but I'm not going to give a single penny to a rapist and sex offender of underage little girls"

Pat nodded and let him be. He knew Travis was right and was glad he wouldn't have to work with anyone like Joe again but he also knew this would have consequences Travis would have to bear.

When they walked back into the living room Brittany was playing with the cats, sterling asleep on the couch while bronze was asleep in Taylors arms, the little head nuzzled into her neck peacefully. The smile on Travis lips wasn't just because he had to act but he actually adored his sight.

Taylor looked so peaceful holding the little kid in her arms, like she was born to be a mother, to care for one of these little creatures and he knew all too well soon enough she would have to have one of her own.

The Mahomes left soon after, tho they had to pry the young kid away from Taylor who could only hesitantly say goodbye to it. when they closed the door she sighed softly, going to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.

Travis was already there, leaning against the counter while he sipped on his scotch, returning the little smile she gave him. His eyes mustered over her again. God she was so beautiful, even when she looked tired like now she was still so incredibly beautiful.

"I'm sorry" he mumbled taking another zip while Taylor got on her toes to get herself a glass, looking over at him, the expression on her face so soft, so gentle it got his heart beating faster.

"IT's okay you wanted him to be quiet and it doesn't really seem like it's the first time they heard a shot so I guess its what people do in your line of work? We should still make sure to send like flowers or a wrath to his family for their grievance and-"

As she talked Travis frowned further before he stepped forward, cupping her face in his hand and so she stopped talking meeting his eyes with big ones.

"Kitten I'm not sorry for killing him. He deserved everything and more that happened to him for saying what he did. I'm sorry I ever let him near you, I'm sorry I let the pervert breath the same air as you, ever. And I'm never gonna let something like it happen again. I promise."

He husked, gently caressing her cheeks as he did. He was never going to let anyone or anything that could hurt her near her and if he did, whatever it was was going to be dead. He wouldn't let anyone hurt his kitten again.

"travis.. can I ask you something?" she whispered timidly looking up at him through her lashes, her aquamarine eyes shimmering softly.

He nodded carefully letting go of her face , not wanting to cause any triggers or bring back unwanted memories of her past.

"travis... what happened with Kayla?"

And no matter how good he had treated her so far, that night Taylor would finally get a look at the beast Travis Kelce was.
