“I am.” She placed her hand on my knee. “I promise.”
A part of me still didn’t believe her but I would take her word for it. For now.
“Here.” Tiny came back with a bottle of blue Gatorade and a brand-new toothbrush still in the package. “This will help put some color back in those cheeks.”
Amber took it from him and twisted off the cap. She took a couple swigs before letting out a sigh. “Thank you. Why do you have a random toothbrush lying around?”
“Sometimes I sleep here,” Tiny explained. “It’s better to have these things in stock for when I, or any of the guys, spend the night.”
“Oh.” Amber took another sip of the Gatorade. “But I didn’t come here for you to take care of me.”
“No, that’s my job,” I said the words before I could even process what I was saying.
When they both looked at me, I shrugged.
“What? I said what I said.” I rested my arm on the back of the couch behind Amber. “You know it’s true anyway.”
She huffed. “It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that Will won’t stop asking me for information and I... I’m here because I came home to see my mom. She didn’t even want me to come over.”
“Why would she? Look what happened last time.” Tiny went to the desk and picked his phone up off the top of it.
“What happened last time?” I asked Amber.
“Aaron offered me up to the guys after they went on a ride.” She said it so casually, I almost didn’t believe her but the pain behind her eyes at the memory revealed all. Being with her late husband was an agonizing time for her and I couldn’t imagine what she had been through. I made a vow right then and there that I would show her that I wasnotAaron.
I would show her that I could be better for her. That I could be what she deserved and she the same for me. Sure, I only went into this wanting sex, but things changed fast when I realized that Amber was exactly the sub I had spent many years looking for. If my brother could find his, I knew I could find mine. And I had.
“He actually did that?” I asked, taken aback by how she didn’t even flinch when those words left her mouth.
“Yup.” Amber pulled away from me and stood from the couch. She went up to a door and opened it before turning to Tiny. “Will you contact your people for me please and let me know when you hear why Will won’t leave me the hell alone?” She slipped through the door and closed it behind her. Running water sounded a moment later, forcing Tiny’s head up from the phone in his hand. He glanced at the closed door before looking at me.
“You be good to her,” was all he said when the door opened.
Amber stepped back out into the office and threw the toothbrush into the garbage can. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Tiny gave her a hug.
“You never answered my question,” she told him, her words muffled by his shirt.
“I’ll do what I can, Red, but I really think that Will is the only person who can help you with that.” Tiny pulled away from her and continued typing away on his phone.
“Sam,” Amber said softly. “Take me out of here.”
I jumped to my feet. She didn’t have to ask me twice.
“Leave the back way,” Tiny instructed, not looking our way. “The guys are hungry. It’s been a while.”
Amber hugged her arms around her middle, cowering into herself.
Before she could lose herself completely, I went up to her and grabbed her hand before leaning down to her ear. “You’re so fucking strong, pet,” I murmured, pressing my lips against her. “So damn strong. You need me? You got me. Always. You never have to ask for anything.”
She looked up at me then. So many emotions swam behind her eyes but the one single emotion I craved the most at the moment, was lust.
I kissed her cheek before standing to my full height and peering at Tiny who was still playing on that damn phone.
Slipping my hand from Amber’s, I went up to Tiny. He never even saw me coming. Slapping the phone out of his hand, I grabbed the collar of his shirt and slammed him up against the wall.
“What the fuck?” he yelled, trying to shove me away.
