She Belongs To Him

Chap. 98: Something Special I Want To Show You

• Lane smiling at Katie as he acts like a little shit below •

With tired eyes and constant yawns, Katie's feet seems to drag as she walks down the stairs for breakfast. Even though Lane had not questioned the blonde on her nightmare, she knew it was coming. Katie wished she could erase the terror from her mind, but knew telling Lane would be her release. As the two lovers make their way down the stairwell, she takes Lane's wrist. He stops, turning to look her in the eyes.

"Lane, I...I need to tell you something." Katie's soft voice is tender in the crime lord's ears.

"Yes, Kitten?" Lane tilts his head back, arching a brow.

"It's about my dream that I had." She speaks slowly, her eyes wide.

"Tell me after breakfast." He nods to her, something sparkling in his eyes. "I have something special I want to show you."

A small smile instantly dances on Katie's naturally pink lips. She nods to him, curiosity in her tired eyes. Lane gives her a quick wink before taking her hand in his, continuing down the stairs.

I wonder what the surprise will be! The blonde wonders, biting her lower lip at the suspicion. Did Lane repair my necklace? Did he find a new one? Or is it something else? Perhaps one of his knit sweaters? Oh, I'd love to cuddle up in one of his knit sweaters!

The blonde leans her head against Lane's bicep, tiredly smiling. Lane smirks down at her warmly. Suddenly, Katie realizes, for a single moment, she almost forgot about her nightmare.

Anxiety filled, Katie bites the scars inside her cheek. Her eyes remain on her sunny side up eggs and toast. Elijah had switched seats with Rebel in order to speak with Lane, who wasn't too thrilled with the new seating arrangement.

"Boss, when should we try to get out?" Elijah chomps on his eggs and toast.

Katie glances down the table at Rebel, whose frowning in annoyance. The mixed girl glances back at her friend, rolling her eyes. The blonde softly chuckles, taking a small bite of her eggs. In the corner of his eye, Lane watches Katie. Her whole mood changed when Elijah had sat down across the table next to Max. The crime lord has a hunch that her nightmare had something to do with Stephan Sykes's bastard son.

"Whenever the snow melts." Lane nods to Marco from down the table, "We're going to have to cut lunch. Only a small breakfast and a large dinner from now on."

"W-Why?" Allison blurts out in bewilderment, "And what are we supposed to do? Starve? I bet those rules don't apply to you or Miss Priss!"

Lane stands to his feet, wiping his lips with his paper napkin. Everyone goes silent. Katie's heart pounds in her chest. Deja vu hits her. She watches the crime lord as he slowly makes his way down the table.

Oh no... Katie watches her lover as he slowly makes his way. This cannot be good.

"Because that is what I said." Lane softly growls, his icy stare touching everyone in the room. "I'm getting sick and tired of the disrespect around here. I am the Bossman. I am what you depend on. I am what you fear."

When Lane reaches Allison's chair, he leans down and grabs a leg. He pulls it out from under the short haired blonde. Her chin hits the wooden table hard. She lets out a squeal of pain as her bottom hits the floor hard. With tears in her eyes, Allison holds her scraped chin.

Lane roughly grabs her bicep, yanking the short haired blonde up. Allison looks up into the crime lord's eyes with a small smile, her fear seeping through her defiant eyes. Angered, Lane quickly reaches inside his cardigan and takes out his small gun shaped lighter. The defiance in Allison's eyes quickly falls away into terror at the sight of the gun barrel pressed against her cheek. Lane smiles wickedly at her fear.

Katie puts a hand over her mouth to prevent from laughing. The worse he could do is burn her face...which is still scary, but there's nothing in there that will really kill her.

"When I give an order, do I expect you to open that trap of yours?" Lane growls angrily, his icy stare turning to balls of fire. "Do I!"

"No, sir..." Allison begins to cry.

Lane shoves her down onto the floor, wiping the sweat off his upper lip. He kicks at her, leaving her shrieking in terror. The crime lord looks between everyone, whose eyes are wide and alert.

"From now on," Lane breaths in and out heavily, "whoever questions my authority will receive a bullet in their head. Is that understood? I said is that understood!"

"Yes, sir!" Some answer, while others answers with "Yes, Boss!"

Lane nods, looking down at Allison as if she were a big he wants to squish under his foot. "Get your ass up! Before I really give you something to cry for."

The short blonde slowly stands to her feet, tears in her eyes. Her shaking hands, she grabs her chair and pulls it back into the table, sitting down. Gabriella puts a hand on hers for comfort. Lane walks down to the head of the table, sitting down in his seat.

"Now, if there aren't anymore interruptions, I'd like to eat my fucking breakfast in peace!" Lane growls loudly, leaving everyone trembling with fear. "Now, all of you, shut the fuck up!"

Everyone slowly continues eating in silence a few minutes after Lane begins to chomp down on his food. Katie bites her lower lip as she stares down at her runny eggs and half eaten toast. Suddenly, she feels Lane's stare on her. Her green eyes slowly flicker up to meet his. The crime lord slowly chews on his eggs, giving her a smug smile. Katie arches a brow at him in confusion.

What are you trying to tell me? The blonde wonders.

Lane gives her a small wink before looking back down at his plate. The blonde pouts her lips but shrugs it off, angering her lover even more is something she wants to avoid.

Hey readers! Short chapter but still exciting. What do you think Lane's surprise will be? Do you think Lane has FINALLY gained back his authority in his house? Be safe, my Lovlies because more is on its way ❤️🙏🏼
