Chapter 8
Harlow
I felt different.
I was different.
In a good way.
The only thing that mattered was that the man I loved loved me back. Well, that and the intense, earth-shattering, all-consuming orgasms he'd given me. My pussy was still tingling from the aftershocks, and I was conscious of how wet I was between my legs. I could probably ring my underwear out. I couldn't wait for us to consummate our love. Being with Liam for the first time might just kill me. I laughed inside at my mindless, silly thoughts. Death by sex wouldn't exactly be the worst way of going.
I stepped outside the clubhouse doors, walked around the building toward the cookout, and felt an immediate heat fill my cheeks. It seemed that all eyes turned my way. I knew that I was imagining it. The only women looking at me were the ones who'd seen Liam drag me away. It didn't take long before their scrutinizing appraisals turned to knowing smirks, and I reached up to run my fingers through my hair, trying to be nonchalant. Could they tell by looking at me what I'd just been doing?
I spotted Lulu and the others sitting at one of the tables and headed in their direction. It was then that I noticed that most of the men were gone. Church, Lulu had told me, was a big deal, and was usually reserved only for the officers, but it appeared that this time an exception had been made. The only men I could see were the ones with prospect patches on their cuts.
"So, how was it, honey? Tell us all the deets!"
I smiled at Lulu, shook my head, and sat down opposite JoJo. I had no intention of telling anyone what had gone on between me and Liam.
"Are you a kiss and tell?" Millie giggled.
"We can tell by your mussed hair that something happened," added Raven.
"And your lips!"
I jerked my head toward Holly.
"They're pretty swollen." She laughed, as did the others.
My fingers automatically moved to smooth over my mouth, finding Holly's statement to be true. "You girls are terrible!" I laughed, wondering what else they could see.
"We know our men," Bobbie spoke up. "And they're all the same. When they love on us, it shows."
Nice to know. Heat crawled up my neck into my face.
"So Doc finally got his head out of his ass and gave in to his attraction for you?"
I met Lulu's eyes, trying not to let it bother me that I knew that she'd been with Liam. "I thought he truly hated me," I finally admitted. "That I'd done something wrong."
"It was that wedding ring on your finger, wasn't it?"
I nodded in response to Jolene's question.
"And when he heard about your divorce, it changed things."
"Yes," I admitted softly, and smiled. "He apologized for being so mean to me all these months and explained why."
"And you forgave him, just like that?" Lulu frowned. "You should have made him work for it a little harder, honey. It doesn't matter what his reasons were, he still did some despicable things."
Lulu was right. Had I forgiven Liam too easily? His words and actions had hurt me terribly. "He came at me so fast I didn't really have a chance to think." It sounded like an excuse, but it was the truth.
