CHAPTER18
SAVAGE
“You going to be okay with me heading out, baby?”
“Yes, I’ll be okay. I’m just going to do what I said I was going to do yesterday.”
I can’t help but grin at her mentioning yesterday. I was supposed to go in and do shit for the club, only to end up in bed with my woman all day. We stopped long enough for me to feed her, even then, I didn’t let her put some clothes on unless it was my shirt and nothing else. I took her in bed several times. The kitchen counter once. Twice on the couch. And I ate her pussy while she was stretched out on the dining table. It was definitely one hell of a day. One I won’t ever forget.
“How about you wait to do any yard work until I get back?” I suggest.
“Why? You don’t think I can handle it?” she scoffs, planting her hands on her hips.
I take her in pausing on the cuffs I’d ordered on a rush delivery before we even left to come back home. I knew it would take some time to get them done, but I paid for them to be a priority and have them done quicker. Bringing my gaze back to hers, I reach for her and hook an arm around her waist.
“Because, baby, when you’re working on that flowerbed, I want to be out there to watch that sweet ass of yours while I’m doing other shit. Then, when we’re done, you all hot and sweaty, I intend to make you hot and sweatier.”
“Oh.”
A blush creeps up on Honor’s cheeks that goes straight to my dick.
“Now, can you wait until I get back?”
“I suppose.” She lets out a breath, pulls that bottom lip between her teeth, and nods. “I guess I’ll just sit out on the back deck and read then.”
“You can do that,” I agree and give her waist a squeeze, “or you can do something else.”
I don’t want to push her, but it’s time for her to try to do something more. To find her normal. She needs to be able to get back to it. She loved working at the hospital.
“Like what?” she asks.
“You can go talk to the hospital about getting your job back if you want,” I suggest cautiously.
“Oh,” she whispers and pales. “I don’t think I could go there again.”
“Baby,” I murmur, hearing the fear in her voice. “You know I wouldn’t suggest something if I didn’t think it would be good for you, right?”
Honor nods and drops her gaze to my chest. Her breathing escalates.
“You loved being a nurse. Helping others. Gunner told me how you loved working in the ER. I saw it for myself.”
“How could you see for yourself when you were doing one of the doctors?”
Fuck. I wasn’t expecting that from her.
“Fucked up by doing that, Honor.” I let her waist go and grip her chin, forcing her to look up. “I hurt you a lot, and by fuckin’ that bitch, I hurt you more. I can’t go back and fix the past. And I’m not gonna deny the bullshit I’ve done. It’s in the past, and that’s where it’s staying. Now, you’re gonna have to let that shit go. We weren’t together at the time. I was fighting the pull of you. Sounds fucked up, but it’s the truth.”
“I don’t want to work in the ER anymore. I don’t want to work there,” she says, her voice shaky and her chest rising fast. Reading her, I can see her anxiety trying to overcome her.
“Then, if you don’t want to do that, baby, what’s something you’d want to do? I thought you liked helping people.”
“I do,” she agrees. “I just don’t want to work at night anymore. Or anywhere something can still happen to me.”
“Then why not work in a clinic or at a school?” I offer.
Honor takes that in for a moment and nods. “I could look into those, but I don’t know.”
