Nos Ascendemus

"You love me anyway."

"That I do."

It was a Monday and as badly as Benjamin wanted to stay in bed to continue sleeping with his wife, he could not as he had a run to do.

Slipping out from under the comforter, he softly pecked his resting partner and made his way to the connected bathroom.

Rubbing his hands over his face, he tried to erase the tiredness he felt. Grabbing the waistband of his pyjama bottoms, sliding them off his legs, threw them into the hamper and hopped into the shower.

Bathing at the speed of light, the blonde hopped out stark naked and flew into the walk-in closet. Three (3) minutes later, he reemerged dressed in ripped jeans, a form-fitted shirt with his leather jacket thrown over and a pair timberlands on.

Kissing Serah on the forehead once more, he opened the bedroom door, shutting it behind him and went down the stairs. Grabbing his iced coffee from the fridge, he took his keys, phone, wallet and left.

It was about twenty (20) minutes later and Benjamin was pacing his best friend's office, still waiting for him. Normally, he was not so impatient but this particular weapons run was only supposed to take an hour or two (2) and he was anxious to be near his wife again.

Her due date was approaching quickly and the club's OB-GYN said she could go into labour before she was due.

As he was about to pull out his phone and call Elias to curse him out, the doors were flung open and in walked the man himself.

Rolling his eyes, he walked up to the taller man and got up in his face, "Why the fuck were you taking so fucking long?"

"Well good morning to you too. I was having a little time with my wife."

The blonde could feel the steam practically shooting out of his ears as he felt his anger spike to the maximum level. Looking the brunette in his eyes, he took a deep breath in and let him have it.

"So, let me get this fucking straight. You were busy fucking your wife, while I left my PREGNANT wife in bed. If I remember correctly and I know I fucking do, you told me yesterday to be and I quote, 'Benjamin, you must be up at five o'clock in the morning (5:00 AM) tomorrow, in my office.' HER FUCKING DUE DATE IS LESS THAN NINE (9) DAYS AWAY AND YOU KNOW SHE NEEDS ME, BUT YET YOU FUCKING WERE LATE BECAUSE YOU WERE GETTING YOUR DICK WET!"

Elias's mouth fell agape in shock because he had never seen his Herre/best friend so angry at him before.

He opened his mouth to speak but the shorter man cut him off by saying, "I'm going to do the fucking run and get shit done for this club. You can fucking go back to doing bullshit, while I am performing your duties and away from my PREGNANT wife."

Grabbing the door handle, Benjamin flung the door open and stormed out. He did not feel an ounce of guilt for being rude towards his King, because they all were aware of how much Serah needed him.

Making his way down to the armoury, he grabbed a pair of desert eagles and slipped one into the back of his pants, while the other was in his holster under his jacket.

Pressing the intercom that was located by the door, he said, "Ivan, Zia, Theo and Zara meet me at the front door now."

Immediately after he received a text from the four (4) of them saying that they were all on their way. Once everyone arrived, the group hopped into one of the club's Range Rovers and they were off to their destination.

Thirty minutes later, the members of Odin's Riders arrived at a local restaurant where they would be meeting Galina, the head of the Russian Mafia that was located in Sweden.
