"Char, what the hell did you see?" "Hurt, she's hurt and hurt bad, El. I didn't see the whole of whatever happened. You know how I pick up emotions sometimes. Well, our new little sister had some shit thrown at her." Char shook her head as we headed for the liquor cabinet. I had a couple hundred people in my backyard where I should be playing hostess, but like doc said 'they'll keep'. "Colton will take care of it, and her, I know my son he's his father incarnate. Though I think Daniel got a little more of the sweet, and a little less of the gruff." "Colton's a good boy, I'm sure he'll do right by our girl...now...GORGEOUS." We started jumping up and down like two toddlers at Disney On Ice, big grins on our faces. "What are you two hens cackling about now?" Daniel sauntered into the room in his chinos and a nice silk tee. His hair was still wet from his shower, and he'd splashed on his special after shave. Dirty dog, he knows what that particular scent does to me, so I c
I could hear the party going on outside, and the laughter and gaiety while one so young suffered just feet away.Life is strange as fuck. Some people can be suffering while others have no clue, and they are just going along with their daily life as usual. I wanted to go down there and yell at them to get the fuck gone, which was stupid. None of those people had anything to do with what had happened to her. What I was really pissed about, was the fact that I couldn't act yet, and I wanted to be up and moving, but I needed to be holding her more. This changed things, and I couldn't just fall on her like I'd been about to. She was obviously still hurt, and still healing, so I'd have to watch, and gauge where she was in her head. One thing is for certain, she isn't staying in that fucking shell a minute longer. Why should she hide who she is, because those fucks were cowardly assholes? She hadn't done anything wrong, and as far as I can see, they'd taken more than enough from her al
"I do not like that person. She's so full of herself, and I know she was about to start her 'who is this' shit again...oh crap, did you want to talk to her, oh my gosh I'm so sorry...I didn't..." "Don't start second guessing yourself now, feel free to put Jennifer in her place anytime." I wanted to ask if she was his ex, or future or whatever, but I thought that was not my place, but then again the way he was holding onto me... "Exactly what are we doing?" "With what?" I swung our joined hands up for him to see. "Oh that, I'm getting you used to my touch, so get used to it. There's going to be a lot of that in your future." He smirked down at me. Gulp, why is it that my underwear always suffers in his presence? The old me would've voiced that question out loud, but the new me was a little more cautious...what Colton doesn't know is that there was more to the story. Like the way people had turned against me and my mom for accusing one of the city's golden sons of somethi
"Angel, get your ass down from there." She's going to be the death of me. It's been two weeks since the BBQ, and everyday since then has been a trial. I didn't know that breaking her out of that shell was going to unleash hell on my head. The girl is always getting into shit. She's like a new born colt that finally found its legs and starts galloping all over the place. "Catch me, Colt." She let go of the hoisting rope and flew at me, fucking nut. "What the hell are you doing, Angel?" "Rappelling, you know, practicing for when I go rock climbing." "For when you what, who said you were going rock climbing?" "Jared's gonna take me, off the cliffs at Devil's Walk." Jared's going to get my foot up his ass. I've been slowly drawing her out of her shell, and she's been a little more relaxed here lately, especially since I started giving her self defense classes in the evenings. I keep after her, trying to build not just her body but her mind as well. Jared seems to see th
I got rid of the insect and went to see what Kat was up to. She was too quiet in there, and not even the sound of the keyboard could be heard. I walked into the room and saw her reading something which she stuffed back in her bag as soon as she saw me. "Secrets Katarina?" "Uh...no...um." Her face was red, and she was squirming in her seat. What the hell was she up to now? "Don't forget to tell Jared that you can't go rock climbing this weekend." "Why not?" She whined. Because I don't want you doing anything with anyone else that's why. How very high school of you Lyon. "Don't question me, you're not doing that shit. Don't you think you take enough risks with the bike and the board as it is?" "I just thought it would be fun." "We'll do that shit some other time. I got shit to do this weekend so it'll have to wait." I know that look on her face meant 'and what does that have to do with me'. In case she hadn't heard me, or thought I was fucking around, I decided to g
I left her in the office after stealing one more kiss; her fucking mouth, Is magic. She tasted like berries, and the innocent way she played her tongue around mine made me want to run away with her somewhere for a week. I had barely made it to the shop when I heard Jennifer's annoying voice. The fuck is wrong with the Rossetti clan today? Two of them in one day was a cocktail for trouble, and I knew she'd sent her piss-ant of a brother over here earlier, like he was supposed to scare me. The Rossetti's were one of the premier families in the state, old money and lots of it. The thing is, my family was older and had bucket loads more, whereas the Rossetti siblings thrived on that shit and used it for their evil little games, but I could give less than a fuck. Money in the bank was all well and good, but if your heart was black as soot it didn't mean shit. I wish I'd known that shit before I'd wet my wick in that Asp. Poisonous bitch. She came strolling into the shop with her
I didn't like the look on Jennifer's face as she left, stormed out to be exact. That viper is known to be true to form, so I'll just have to keep an eye on Angel for the next little while, and make sure she didn't try anything with her. She'd be a dumb bitch if she did because I seriously would fuck her over if she tried anything. As far as I was concerned Kat was worth ten of her, even when she'd been dressing like a bag lady. Thank fuck I was free of the serpent long before my Angel came along. That shit would've been messy.***I took her home at the end of the day. I'd taken over that little job from Jared as well. My woman has no right on the back of some other dude's bike. It's an insult no matter who the dude was. Outside her house she climbed off my bike and did her usual shy girl routine. Head down, lip between the teeth, and hand playing with the purse strap on her shoulder. "So, see you tomorrow I guess..." I expected her to start twirling her hair around her finge
He can be so annoying sometimes, but oh so sexy. That take charge attitude of his is gonna get him thrown to the floor and ravaged. It didn't help that he was wearing army green fatigues with a black muscle shirt, and his tats were on full display making me twitchy. His pants were shoved into his Doc Martens, and there was a nice little bulge under his belt that promised all kinds of delights. I was not going to get any work done with this character around, that's for sure. We were in his office by the time I got my drool under control. He threw something at me from his drawer which I caught in mid air, keys. I couldn't miss the emblem on them. "What's this." "Keys to the Merc." "Are you insane, you can't just give me the keys to a Mercedes Benzª" "Did I, or did I not, say you're on the back of my bike and in my bed!" "Yeah, but..." "Please don't tell me you're one of those chicks that don't know how your man is supposed to treat you..." He did that arm crossing thi
