Kitten

Ch. 25

- Isadora's POV -

- Morning -

I wake up to the sight of a wet and half naked Rafael walking out of the bathroom. Water drips from his hair onto his chest... I just wanna lick him. He sees me and smiles.

"Morning kitten." He walks over to me and kisses my stomach. "Morning my little butterfly." He whispers.

"You're assuming way to early that it's a girl. It could be a boy."

"Nah, I know it's a girl. I can feel it." He smiles. He picks me up and wraps my legs around his waist, both hands cupping my ass. "She's gonna be beautiful, sassy and sweet, just like her mother, but she's gonna be a die hard daddy's girl." He lifts me up a little further and kisses my stomach again. "Ain't that right baby girl?"

"I thought I was your baby girl?" I puff out my bottom lip and sniffle, pretending to cry.

"Sorry my love, but once my butterfly is born, she will be my one and only baby girl." He grins.

"Fine, but she will be my little butterfly too." I roll my eyes and smile. I go to kiss him and suddenly he swats my ass hard. "Ahh! Rafael, my ass is still sore from last night. Be gentle with me please." He lifts up over his shoulder and kisses where he spanked me, then returns me to my original position.

"I told you kitten, I'm gonna break you of that bad habit." He kisses me on the nose and grabs my ass again. "Who does this belong to?" I grab his face and kiss him.

"You baby. Only you."

- In The Kitchen -

Oh my god.... I smell bacon. We walk in and see Gabriella at the stove cooking breakfast. A lot of breakfast. The boys and Leo are at the table talking... I guess everyone else is still sleeping.

"Morning mom." Rafael says giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Morning baby." She turns and smiles widely at me. "And good morning mommy to be!" She kisses my cheek. "Go sit down, breakfast will be ready in a bit. I'm making plenty since you're eating for two now." She winks at me. Rafael leads me to the table and sits down, pulling me onto his lap. Guess it's safe to assume he's gonna reassert his dominance. As if he didn't already last night.

"What are you ladies up to this morning?" He jests.

"We need to hire more people at the club. We can't find Brianna. She hasn't shown up for work in weeks." Alfonzo sighs frustratingly.

"I killed her. She was getting on my nerves and she disrespected my kitten." He kisses me on the shoulder and smiles. Alfonzo rolls his eyes and sighs again.

"I wonder Isa, if I touched your knee right now... what would Rafael do?" Leo wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Break your motherfucking hand, that's what." Rafael growled. I felt his muscles tense. He was ready to pounce.

"I could go for some sparring primo. (Cousin) I need a good workout anyway." Leo says, his fingers hovering over my knee.

"Leo!" Everyone turned their heads. Ricardo walked in looking quite handsome for an older man. Emiliano right behind him. "Quit antagonizing him before he whips your ass. I'm warning you boy, if you drive him to that point, I'm not going to stop him. I'm gonna let you take those licks you earned."

"Why not let them duke it out? I haven't seen a good fight in ages." Emiliano smiles. "What do you say boys? Up for a little sparing?" Leo looked at me and winked. He bent over and kissed my knee. Rafael gently took me off his lap and once I was far enough away, he charged at Leo. It took all four of his brothers to hold him back.

"Alright! Gloves on boys! Let's go to the octagon!" Ricardo shouts excitedly. Rafael was pissed, glaring daggers at Leo who was grinning like an idiot. Why does he have to rile him up so much? Rafael came to me and kissed me on the head. Before he could walk away, I grabbed his arm and pulled him close.

"Kick his ass baby." I whispered. He smirked and winked at me.

- The Octagon -

We walk into a huge room with a giant cage smack dab in the middle. Rafael and Leo took off their shirts, put their gloves on and entered the cage. Both bouncing lightly side to side on the balls of their feet, punching the air.

"He's gonna beat his ass so bad." Javier says coming up beside me.

"Some people have to learn lessons the hard way." I said folding my arms.

"Oh Leo won't learn any lesson from this. This is all a game to him." Ishmael says shaking his head.

"Yeah. He may be about to get the shit beat out of him, quite literally maybe, but that won't stop him. Rafael beat his ass once before. Hospitalized him for over a month and yet here he is, in the same situation." Enrico adds.

"Alright boys, you know the rules. No biting, no scratching, no gouging the eyes and no hitting below the belt. Three rounds, three minutes each round. Winner is by knockout or tap out, and whatever you do, do not kill eachother. This is just to blow off some steam." Ricardo says and puts his fingers to his mouth, whistling loudly. "Touch gloves and come out swinging!" The moment Rafael touched Leo's gloves he swung. Connecting right into Leo's jaw. He fell to the ground and immediately spit blood on the mat.

"Ooooh shit!" Alfonzo shouted. Leo got up and shook it off. He tried kicking, but Rafael caught his leg and swung him hard into the side of the metal cage.

"Damn! I know that had to hurt!" Ishmael said wincing. Not giving in, Leo got up and wobbled until he found his footing. Rafael went to swing again but Leo dodged and hit him in the side of the face. Slowly turning back around to face Leo, Rafael wiped blood off the corner of his mouth.

"Hurts like a bitch don't it?" Leo smirked. Rafael kicked him hard in the stomach making him double over. Rafael took the opportunity for another punch, but Leo grabbed his wrist and hauled him over his shoulder. Rafael hit hard on the mat with a loud grunt. Leo quickly got behind him a d put him in a choke hold.

"Come on baby! Kick his ass!" I screamed. I looked at the boys and his uncle, all shocked by my outburst.

"You're a little spitfire! I like it!" Ricardo laughed. Rafael got his hand under Leo's arm and flipped him around, putting him in a choke hold. Wrapping his legs around Leo's waist so he couldn't counteract.

"Tap out bitch! No one has ever escaped my choke hold." Rafael growled. Leo kept struggling. "I will choke you until you pass out Leo! Tap out!" Leo tapped his arm three times and he let go.

"Winner! Rafael 'The Shiv' Montez!" Ricardo declared.

"Whoo! That's my man!" I screamed. He winked and kissed the air at me.

"Alright alright! Enough of that. Breakfast is ready." Gabriella says shaking her head.

- After Breakfast -

"Okay sweetheart, you go change and then all of us girls are going to the mall." Gabriella smiled. Josie whined.

"But my feet hurt!" She pouted.

"Suck it up! You're going." Gabriella's glare made me giggle. Rafael leaned down and kissed me.

"I'll be at the club looking for new employees. You and Josie come down when you're done, okay baby?" I nodded.

"I love you." I said stealing one more kiss.

"I love you too kitten."
