"Hi, Snake, it's Mary."
My eyes instantly started to tear up, hearing her sweet voice again after so long before my eyes locked on Hunter near the door when I felt his eyes on me. I didn't even hear him come in. He tilts his head and gives me a sad smile, but he stays where he is so I can get through this, knowing I'd break in his strong arms.
"I don't know h-how I feel getting your machine; e-every time I've called, you've answered.I guess it just means y'all always have this message."I smiled a little as my tears fell."I've not got long left; I can feel it; soon I'll be with the boy I gave my heart to, Toddy, who I gave myself to with the help of my big sister, my best friend—don't tell my parents. Anyway, I know I haven't got long left, and I-I needed to get this off my chest. I'm mad at you, Hunter, and yes, I'm calling you your given name; you hurt my sister, and I can't come and kick your butt because I'm basically in-in a-a bubble,"She gets out of breath, but continues through what she has to say, making me proud."She's in love with you but stubborn; she knows how she feels for you but is unwilling to do anything about it. Watching me slowly-slowly fade away, it's killing her, and there's only one person she wants to hold her tight, but he can't because, well, he's an-an idiot."She takes a deep breath while I grin at him, making him snort but not deny her words."You need to grovel, big. I can't leave this world knowing my Sissy will be alone and heartbroken. I-I just can't; she needs you, Hunter, not just to hold when I'm gone but to keep grounded, to keep her-her living; for-for years her-her,"she takes a deep breath,"for years her main purpose has been me. She didn't go to the college that accepted her with a full-full ride,"Another deep breath:"She worked two jobs while going-going part-time just to-to help Momma and Daddy with my bills."
I let out a sob, hating that she knew that, causing Hunter to push off the door and come my way. He lifts me up and takes the seat I was in, putting me on his lap, my head going into the crook of his neck, his arms holding me tightly.
"She left her teenage years be-behind for me and for our parents. For the first time since meeting you, I-I finally saw my free-spirited sister return before-before we knew I-I had leukemia."She takes another deep breath, and I wish I could tell her I would do it all again for her."I-I know you screwed up, and I-I know I should be telling you-you to leave her alone from-from from on, but-but she was happy and-and in love."Hunter squeezes me tighter,"She-she'll make it hard; make you work for it and as you should. Fight f-for her Hunter. Make my-my Sissy happy. Give her the life she-she deserves. Make her your old-old lady and-and marry her, then name-name your first born after-after their favorite angel in the-the clouds."I grip Hunters cut as sobs release from my throat; she knew I was pregnant when she left the message, "I-I have to go now; I-I'm so tired, and Sissy will be-be here soon to-to spend the night AGAIN. I-I love you like a big brother, Hunter. Take-take care of my best friend, please; win her-her back over."
Hunter holds me tightly as the message finishes before rasping, "You weren't ready to hear that, baby." I shake my head before rasping, "No, I wasn't," causing him to sigh, pressing his nose on the top of my head. He stills for a moment.
"Spitfire, why do you smell like my shower wash?"
I grin a watery grin before looking at him, "Because the smell is intoxicating, and you had that meet-up with Axel this morning, which, uh, shouldn't you uh be there?"
He raises a brow, "Why, so you could search my office for the address book?"
My eyes widened, and I stuttered, "Well, I, you see..." he smirked, and I growled at being caught. "Fine, Gunner forgot his anniversary."
He laughs and nods, "I'm aware. I got halfway to the meeting point when he rang us and told us to abort the mission because he knew who had sent several boxes of male porn to our allies. Steel's old lady thought the box was fun and maybe some men, but others, not so much."
I laugh; I can't help it, "Some men?"
He shakes his head and chuckles, "Yeah, apparently so." He gives me a smile, gently wiping my tear-stained cheeks. "Turns out Leah confessed about the prank and the boxes of vibrators y'all want to send but needed my address book for it while he withheld her orgasm all night."
I wince because that sounds uncomfortable, "Your, uh, not going to do that to me, right?"
He smirks, "Maybe…"
My eyes widened comically, and he laughed again before kissing my head. I sighed, leaning into his chest. My eyes go to his phone, the red light still blinking, and my sister's voice still there. Hunter squeezes me tightly, knowing where my eyes are, and rasps, "Come for a walk with me, baby," I nod, reluctantly getting up. My eyes go to the drawer, making him chuckle and drag me out of his office, "Now, Spitfire."
I groan, feeling like I failed the girls, letting him drag me toward the back door of the clubhouse. I lock eyes with Brook, a woman Tech started seeing last month. He'd been sleeping with the same woman for years, after the woman he was ready to make his old lady left because he wouldn't leave the club when he was eighteen. Then Brook came along and well entranced him. The woman is a saint; she's sweet, kind, and caring, and I hope Tech sees how great she is.
I shake my head subtly at her, but she nods, and I smirk, knowing she'll try and get the book before Hunter drags me out the back door. Hunter guides me to our swing, and my heart melts, seeing the fairy lights covering it and candles scattered on the floor.
"Hunter?" I question, and he shrugs, "I wanted to make you feel special, and I also don't want your revenge because it fucking sucks."
I laugh at him, wrapping my arms around his waist before resting my chin on his chest and looking into his beautiful blue eyes.
God, I love this man, even if he is an idiot who messed up.
I lean on my tiptoes and kiss his lips when we hear the back door very gently being opened, making us both look. Olivia, the woman Smokey has been trying to win back after being an idiot like my man here a few years ago, freezes. Her ginger hair was a mess, her eyes wide, and her legs bare, only Smokey's shirt covering her body while she carried her clothes in her right hand.
I bit my bottom lip, wanting to laugh, but she narrowed her eyes at me and said, "This is not funny, Sarah!" I nod, but a laugh comes out anyway as Hunter's body shakes against mine, and she growls before pointing at us, "You didn't see me; last night never happened; I never gave in, got it."
We both nod before she then starts to walk to the gate, her eyes going to the swing, making her grin at Hunter and state, "Good work, Pres," making him laugh again, but just as she nearly makes her escape out of the gate, Smokey storms out of the backdoor in only his shorts, his tattooed muscular chest on display, and I tilt my head.
I have to admit, the men in this club are pretty hot; I'd be dead not to look.
Hunter pokes my side, making me giggle before his arms wrap around me, his chin resting on my head as we watch the show. Olivia's eyes widened after seeing a very unhappy Smokey heading her way before she tried to make a run for it. Still, Smokey gets to her first and throws her over his broad shoulder like she weighs nothing before stomping back to the door. Olivia starts to struggle, but he smacks her ass, making her freeze in shock as he mumbles, "thinks she can sneak out like I'd not fucking wake up to my heart leaving our bed."
I can't help it; my laugh comes, and Hunter is right there with me before Smokey salutes us and heads inside. We can hear the roar of laughter from the brothers from here, making our laughter grow.
Hunter shakes his head before rasping, "Come, take a seat, darling."
I nod and let him guide me to the swing, where he's even baked my favorite dessert, cookie cake, and his special steak.
This man.
