It bothers me when she assumes I’ll hurt her. I know that’s been her experience repeatedly for the last decade. I know it’s a natural assumption. But fuck, I’ve never struck her. I never will.
The waitress comes and brings our food.
Mine is my normal favorite, steak, and a baked potato. But hers is different. A double burger with raw onion, mayo, and mustard. There’s a side of poutine, French fries topped with cheese curds, and hot gravy. She went on a trip to Canada in ninth grade and went on and on about those damn weird French fries. Jade stares at her food while tears fall down her cheeks, “Hunter. You remembered. I can’t…”
I take her hand and rub circles across her palm the way I used to. It always had a calming effect on her. “I remember everything about you, baby girl. Everything.”
She angrily swipes her tears away, “I want to hate you. Stop making it so hard.”
I flash her a grin, “Never.”
Jade sits staring at me and I’m not sure if she wants to jump over the table and kiss me or murder me.
“Eat, while it’s still hot.”
She picks up her fork, stabs her French fry and gathers the cheese and gravy on it, puts it in her mouth, moaning as she begins to chew.
I cut into my steak and take a bite.
Jade stares at her burger and asks, “Did you ask them to cut this in half?”
I nod, “Yes, baby girl. It’s how you always wanted it.”
Her face lights up with a radiance I haven’t seen in years, “Thank you, Hunter.”
I stare into her eyes and get a little lost before I finally reply, “You’re welcome.”
She’s so goddamn beautiful that it makes it hard to control myself.
“What do you want from me?”
I put my fork down, “You don’t want to know.”
Jade watches me like a frightened animal, “I do.”
“Everything. I want to make you laugh. I want to make you cry. Rip you to shreds. Ruin you. Piece you back together the way only I can. I want to fuck you slow. I want to fuck you fast. I want every single orgasm until you can’t take anymore. Then I want to force you to give me more when you are sure you have nothing left to give.”
Oddly enough, she doesn’t react. It doesn’t scare her.
“I want forever with you, baby girl. The way it was supposed to be. I want you to have my children. I want…fucking everything.”
She drops her fork, it clangs on the plate, her hands shake furiously, and Jade's breathing gets heavy.
“Baby girl.”
Her wide eyes lift to mine, “I can’t. Hunter. Please don’t do it.”
I rub my temples, “Do what? I’m lost right now, Jade. What’s going on? Take a deep breath and enlighten me.”
She takes a shaky breath, “Your father. Wanted me to have a baby. He tried to get me pregnant for years. When I couldn’t he sold me to Trig.”
“Are you sure that’s why?”
“Yes,” she bites.
I never knew he wanted more children. Was it to spite me? What would be worse than him stealing my girl? Procreating with her would be worse. The thought of my father fucking her has my blood boiling. Jesus, this is fucked up. I’ve tried to put that little fact out of my mind.
“Baby girl, I don’t sell women. Regardless of what they do or don’t do. I will never do that. I don’t care if you ever have my child. It’s not a deal breaker. If you get pregnant, great. If you don’t that’s fine too.”
