“Yeah. He thinks because he saw you first that you are his.”
“I’m nobody’s.”
I chuckled. “Think that all you want, Cupcake, but you are mine.”
She huffed, but said nothing.
“So, there you have it. My whole story. I’m the reason your father is dead. I’m the reason you had to leave California and start over. I’m the reason that pussy bitch is after you.”
Chapter Nineteen
Bailey
It was a lot to swallow after hearing King explain everything to me. I felt like celebrating after hearing my family would no longer bother me or Jamie again, but hearing King take the blame for Havoc stopped me short.
I didn’t blame King.
I never did.
The fact of the matter was, it was Havoc.
Havoc slept with a married woman. He sought revenge.
He killed my father. He made my life a living hell.
King didn’t do any of that. In fact, all he’s ever done was try to help and protect me. Albeit driving me crazy in the process, but none of this was his fault. I didn’t have to move here. I could have gone anywhere, and he’d be none the wiser. Just the thought of never knowing King sent a jolt of pain into my heart.
Somehow along the way, I realized I had fallen in love with King. I don’t know how it happened or when, but I was leaning towards his amazing dick and what it could do to me. I wasn’t upset about it either, which also boggled my mind.
Yes, the man was a walking, talking hot fuck stick I wanted to mount and ride religiously, but he was more than that. There was a softer side of him. A side that he rarely showed.
Since his revelation, King had stepped away, giving me time to assimilate everything. I understood why he was doing it and I didn’t like it. The man steamrolled into my life only to put on the brakes when shit got serious. I got that he blamed himself for my crappy life, but it wasn’t his fault. It never was. The only thing he was at fault for was showing me how wonderful sex could be, then denying me my orgasmic glow.
That was something I refused to allow.
“You’re thinking about him again,” Jess stated the obvious, lounging in one of my chairs in the shop. It was hard not to think of the idiot. One minute he was all up in my business, bossing me around, then fucking me into submission, and now he wasn’t because he said I needed time to think.
Think about what? All the fucking orgasms he was denying me?
Shaking off the thought of hot monkey sex, I sighed loudly, swinging my leg back and forth. It was a slow day today and with only one appointment scheduled, I had nothing to do until later this afternoon. I knew what I wanted to do, but I was too damn lazy to go up the mountain and go get it. “Has he called?”
“No,” I growled, bored out of my mind. I’ve never been lazy one damn day in my life. It’s always go, go, go and yet, I didn’t give a fuck if aliens attacked.
Huh? Maybe I was getting ready to ride the crimson wave. That would explain why I was feeling restless and bored. I generally got that way right around the time I would start my period.
No energy and no fucks to give.
Taking out my phone, I clicked on the calendar to check the date.
“Wanna go raid Beth’s shop? I could use a good cup of coffee.”
“We did that yesterday,” I muttered, counting the days from my last period. I’d never been regular in the typical since, but even I knew that four weeks late was bad. Sitting up, I looked at Jess and whispered. “We need to go to the pharmacy.”
“Why?”
“I need to get a pregnancy test.”
Jess bolted right up, as if someone had electrocuted her. Shock clearly written on her face. “What?”
