“If it’s my dad, he’s been sending me messages for a few days.” He shocks us, and I pull out the phone and look. Sure enough, he has been. He is terrorizing his own kid. Asking him for money. Begging for forgiveness. I’m disgusted by it.
“I’ll get you a new phone in the morning,” Emmy says, and I pull her into me tighter.
I wait until they all leave. I know what she’s going to say. She moves away from me and I’m on her.
“I think we should wait to start dating until they find Caleb. I don’t want your boys or family to get hurt by him.”

Trevor advances on me, pinning me to the counter.
“I fucking told you I love you. I know you haven’t said it back and I get it, but, baby, I’m not letting you go. Ryan has a team on you, and I’m going to let hospital security know what’s going on.” He takes my face in his hands and holds it tight. “I’ve tasted these beautiful lips. I’ve tasted your sweet pussy and fucked you sideways. I’m never letting you go. I’m addicted already.”
His words are dirty and turn me on, but they also soothe me. It’s exactly what he would say and what I needed to hear.
“Okay.”
We eat dinner, and he takes off after promising to pick me up in the morning for work. I tried to tell him my mom could drop me off, but he wouldn’t listen to me.
I fall asleep for the first time in weeks dreaming of him and what he said. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve dreamed of him, but it wasn’t the same. This time I know next week we are going to the club again. He told me. I’m excited and can’t wait for the long-awaited release my body needs.
ChapterTen
EMERSYN
Even though Trevor works nights, he has been at my condo every day since Tuesday to take me to work. Today he’s off and wants to have a sleepover at his house. I’m not sure we should do this yet, but we’ll see. The boys all have hockey games. I can’t believe it was just last week that we were here at the arena and I thought it was completely over. All the family is here again too. Even Lorelei, who looks exhausted. She has to work tonight. She tells her brother she’s working at a new place, some club but doesn’t share more other than the last bar wasn’t paying her enough.
Bas is on the ice, along with Dyne, and they are playing really well. I watch as Bas defends his net from an attack.
“Bitch, where is my money?” a man yells. I recognize the voice.
I look down the bleachers to see Caleb standing in front of the glass. He looks strung out. He was addicted to pain meds before, maybe never stopped. I caught him once trying to steal a prescription pad from me. Thank goodness I did before he could really ruin me.
“Watch your mouth,” Trevor growls, and he and Ryan are on their feet. The play on the ice stops as everyone is paying attention to us now.
“I want my money. I put up with your fat ass and the whiny titty baby for five years. I deserve some compensation,” he yells again, and I stand. I need to get him out of here before he hurts Bas more than he already has.
“I don’t have to pay you anymore; it’s been five years. You don’t get child support anymore either. You haven’t seen him in months, and I know you hurt him.” I’m not scared of him anymore. He can’t take my son away from me, and I have a wonderful man at my side now.
I make my way down the bleachers. When I’m almost to him, I’m lifted off my feet and turned around. Trevor gently sets me on the row behind him.
“You are not going anywhere near him, beautiful.” Trevor stands between us.
Ryan storms down and faces off with Caleb. “If you were more of a man, you wouldn’t need to take her money. If you were more of a man, you’d take care of yourself and not still live at home with Mommy and Daddy.”
“I see you’re sniffing after her too. Haven’t tapped that whale yet?” Caleb swings on Ryan, who deflects the hit and pins him to the glass.
I catch a glimpse of Bas’s face. He’s actually got a smile on his face seeing his father taken care of. The police arrive and take Caleb into custody. Once everything settles down and I needlessly apologize for the interruption, the game resumes. I hope nothing else happens. I can’t take any more.
After the game we get a phone call from the police department. They confirm it was Caleb who vandalized my car, but he won’t confess to the attack. I’m sure he will with time. But right now I’m more focused on the fact that Trevor is pulling up to the house I’ve driven past several times. He turns up the driveway, and I take in the exterior of the home. I love the rock walls and the large windows. One part of the house is even shaped like a turret on a castle.
“Where are we?” I look at Trevor.
Lorelei pulls past us in her car and into the two-car garage facing us. Trevor turns his truck toward the three-car garage and pulls into the last bay.
“This is my house.” His deep voice and chuckle cause my body to respond. We haven’t done more than kiss since we made up on Tuesday, and my body is craving him.
