That was after he spoke with his Wasp and she assured him she wasn’t hurt and she wouldn’t be angry if he stayed.
I hugged Dillon as tightly as I could.
I hugged him until he groaned.
“Dad, you’re being clingy in front of Superwoman.” He laughed.
“Superwoman wishes.” Eli teased.
“Just give me a second.” I managed.
Dillon sighed, hugged me back and allowed me to hold him until I was steady enough to let him go. I then did the same to Seema before checking in on Eli.
“Hey,” Eli said. “Come on, I want in on the hugs.”
Laughing, I gave him a hug then we all sat down to go over what had happened.
These attacks were getting more and more out of control. If they’d caught Seema while she was pulling a rig, this entire situation could have turned out a whole lot differently.
I was not okay sitting around, digging through hordes of information while Audrey grew the audacity to try killing my child and my woman again. It was time to face this head on and hold her ass to the fire.
I didn’t have much time after the boys left with Charlie before Wolf, Myra and Tex descended on my place.
And I wasn’t sure how long it would be until I could get Seema in my arms again. When she entered the main house, I took her hand and led her up the stairs and along the hall.
She said nothing—and I wasn’t sure if it was because she knew what I was thinking or if it was because she’d resigned herself to what she thought was going to happen.
The thought of not knowing scared me.
I led her into my bedroom and released her hand as she looked around. We’d been intimate with each other more than a few times, but she didn’t really know anything intimate about me.
As that thought hit me, I wanted to tell her everything.
It was as if I wanted to open myself like a book and be allowed to read all the chapters—the good with the bad and make a decision if she could accept me.
But we didn’t have time.
Instead, I framed her cheeks tenderly, stepped close to her and kissed her softly.
Her lips trembled.
She gripped my shirt at my hips, slid her body closer and returned my kiss with the same sad softness as I found myself tasting her with.
Eventually, I pressed my forehead to hers and closed my eyes.
“It feels like you’re saying goodbye.” Her voice cracked. “I don’t like this feeling.”
Sliding my hands down her arms then snaking them around her waist, I pulled her flush against me.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to hold you like this again.” I confessed. “I don’t know if after we come face to face with Audrey if you’ll want to stay. I don’t know if you’ll be able to stay with me and love my son—I don’t know—I don’t fucking know anything. I don’t like not being in control.”
“Baby—” Seema whispered. “Listen to me, Trouble.”
“Trouble?”
“Yes—that’s my nickname for you now because the moment I met you, I knew you were trouble.” She replied. “But here I am. So, listen to me. I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I’ll tell you what I want. I want to be here, with you. And going face to face with Audrey isn’t going to change that.”
“Are you sure? She can be very persuasive.”
