“You should’ve never agreed to hurt me like that,” Hayley says, her voice shaking. “You’re a fucking monster.”
Walcott slaps his hands together. “Monsters don’t get mercy.”
He’s fucking right about that. Materializing behind Modesto, Cooper grabs him and restrains him, keeping him in place with the help of Govan. I set Hayley on her feet and hand her my knife. She can do whatever she wants. This is all for her.
“We’re wiping monsters like you from the world. But don’t worry about Alexander. I’m going to fucking take his head next.” Hayley rushes forward and swipes the blade, letting Modesto’s blood cascade over her.
Silence falls around us.
She turns back to me, her eyes wide and brighter than ever instead of the scared, nearly lifeless gaze that I have seen a dozen times after something traumatic happens to her.
This is my girl. She is stronger than ever.
She will take this motherfucking city down.
And I will carry her. I will stand by her side.
She is mine forever.
No one will ever hurt her again.
Chapter seven
Hayley
Aftercare
“Wearegoingtoneed to be careful with you right now. You’re hopped up on adrenaline, and I know that you might crash at any second. It’s important that you get the proper aftercare you need, even if you don’t think you need it.” Monroe strokes his fingers over mine, holding me in the front seat of the car. Walcott and Govan left us with Cooper the second we arrived back to the Bella to update everyone on the situation.
“Sawyer is going to be hella fucking annoyed that we didn’t bring Modesto back, especially because he could’ve interrogated him a bit longer, so I suggest we stay out of his way with Hayley until he calms down a bit. Let Knox remind him what’s important. We don’t have to use every damn person as an information bomb. It is okay to let our girl do what makes her feel better and figure everything else out for ourselves.” Monroe speaks to Cooper but doesn’t hide his thoughts from me. He’s probably right about Sawyer, except I know that one look at me right now will change his mind.
“I have an idea. I know exactly what Hayley could use.” Cooper reaches over and touches my chin, begging for my attention. “How about you let us take you to the gym for a bit? I know you’ve been antsy to do some acrobatics. Maybe you can teach us a move or two. Give us a little performance, my showgirl. I could come up with something for you as well. Teach this asshole that he can shake his ass for you and get you all excited.”
Monroe raises his eyebrow and glances at him. “You’re fucking suggesting that I put on a damn thong and give our girl a show with you?”
Cooper laughs, tipping his head back.
I clap my hands, my excitement palpable enough to give Monroe a hard-on as I wiggle on his lap.
“Fuck. I guess that’s what we are doing. Teach me how to give the performance of Hayley’s existence. But be prepared fucker. I know a move or two. You’re going to have to keep up with me.” He swings the door open and hops from the car, keeping me close.
I laugh again. “Yes! It’s on!”
“Damn, little bird. The melodious sound of your happiness makes my heart feel as if it swells bigger in the process. Maybe it’ll burst. Bleed out for you so you can have all the blood you need,” Monroe says.
Cooper playfully punches him. “What a psychotic romantic. Maybe you can teach me a thing or two as well, you bastard.”
My heart beats faster, watching the two of them fuck around with each other. Monroe was always so open to the idea of Cooper, knowing that I felt a connection to him even before I truly realized it. It makes me incredibly happy that they get along so well. I could watch them together all day long. And now, I plan to. “You guys are fucking incredible. You have no idea how much I need you right now. You know exactly how to make me smile. How to make me feel as if I’m the most important thing in the world.”
Cooper winks at me. “Because you are.”
“Shit. Let’s go before I ask you to hold her up for me so I can give her the pleasure she deserves right this fucking second.” Monroe flicks his gaze down me. “Unless that’s something you might be interested in, little bird. A little exhibitionism. Give some of those bastards a show.”
I release a small breath. “I’m saving that kind of show for you guys. If you’d prefer to just watch me and Cooper to ease me in...”
Monroe play-growls and runs to the gym, blurring the world around me. “Only if you demand that of me. Otherwise, if you start something with Cooper and I’m nearby, I’ll seduce you into letting me join. I don’t mind sharing if you don’t mind us sharing. Imagine all of the fun, little bird. You have enough love...holes and hands for all of us.”
He’s totally serious, his low voice igniting a strange, exciting thought in my mind. I can almost imagine it right now, being sandwiched between them. I want nothing more than to feel both of their bodies against mine, kissing me and touching me, exploring every inch of me together.
