“What?” Speed blinks and stares at me in confusion.
Sucking in a deep breath, I explain to Speed about those words and remembering them.
“He had you with him at all times.” Speed nods. “Means you heard everything. Things you might not even realize are important. That’s what Raven meant by you being the key. You know Perrin’s weakness and how to get to him, we just need to figure it out.”
“But how do I figure it out if I don’t know what I’m trying to remember?” The very thought gives me a headache and has my pulse racing in fear. Fear that I will fail in helping the club. Helping save the others.
“Simple,” Speed mutters, “Tomorrow, during church, you’re coming with me—”
“I thought women weren’t allowed in there,” I blurt.
“Usually they’re not,” he confirms. “But this will be an exception. We need to know what you know, and in order to get that, it seems facing things will help bring the memories out. I hate to have to dredge through your past. It’s the last thing I want—”
“But if it’ll get the answers we need, then it’s the only way,” I finish for him.
“Exactly.” He nods, a grimace on his lips.
“I’ll do what I have to do to help,” I whisper. “Though can we leave the rest of it for the time being and relax you and me for now? Maybe watch another movie?”
“Yeah, babycakes, we can do that,” he agrees, “And I know the perfect movie for us to watch.”
“Please don’t let it be a scary movie,” I say, giving him pleading eyes.
“Not a scary movie, and I think you’ll enjoy it.” Chuckling, Speed readjusts himself on the bed, pulling me with him, and snags the remote. “I’ll get our movie on and then order food for us. We’re gonna have dinner and a movie. You and me, no disturbances. The rest of the night, babycakes, it’s just you and me. The outside world doesn’t exist for us until morning.”
“That sounds like a good plan,” I utter, nodding.
“Good,” he says, presses a kiss to the top of my head, and turns the TV on.
A moment later, he’s pulling up a movie calledHalloweentown. Moments after that, I’m sucked in.It’s an older movie, but it’s cute, and I love it. The way Marnie and her brother go at each other it’s adorable.
Not long into the movie, Speed puts in an order with the diner in town and spends a prospect to get it for us. He wasn’t lying when he said the outside world doesn’t exist for us. Once the food was delivered, he turned his phone off and locked us in. And the rest of the night is spent finishingHalloweentownand watching the three other ones. I really likedReturn to Halloweentown.
After the movie marathon, I return my focus to Speed, and the two of us do other things. Things I enjoy thanks to him. I even do something I’ve always despised and thought I’d never want to do again. I use my mouth on him, and in return Speed uses his on me. It’s beautiful and loving. What it’s not is harmful in any way. Speed doesn’t rush me, and he doesn’t hurt me. He lets me have my time with him before he takes over. When he does, he rides me the way he wants, which luckily is the same as I want him to take me.
Much later, I curl into him content and close my eyes ready to sleep, knowing with him, I can sleep easy. Sleep safe, knowing nothing will happen to me. He’ll protect me.

“Come on, babycakes, it’s gonna be okay,” Speed says encouragingly, squeezing my hand, and guiding me from the room.
“If you say so,” I mutter, blowing out a heavy sigh. I’m not looking forward to this.
Speed stops and twirls me around until I’m in front of him, his hands moving to my waist. “Not going to let anything happen to you. Even if that means protecting you from my brothers. Not that you have anything to worry about where they’re concerned. You’re family, baby, we just need to know what you know. To be able to fully take Perrin and his whole operation down, we need you.”
“I know.” And I did, doesn’t mean it doesn’t scare me. I don’t want to think about the past. I would prefer to forget about it all completely.
Last night, while Speed and I had our conversation, it was so raw and intense, and I didn’t know how I felt about all of it. Well, the part about his mom, I know how I feel about that. The woman is just as vile, if not worse, than Perrin. The rest of it those . . . inwardly shaking my head, I cringe. I’d told Speed about the ways Perrin would hurt me. It wasn’t even all of it, just enough to suffice. I’d ranted about it, though, giving him the information, and not once did he look at me with pity or disgust. He’d been angry, I could see it in his eyes. Furious even.
Then first thing this morning, I woke up to him between my thighs, mouth devouring me. It was total bliss, and I loved every second of it. We’d then taken a shower together, this being something I enjoy. Every moment I’m with Speed, he shows me something new, and I fall deeper for him when I didn’t think I could in the first place.
“We’re gonna get this done, after we’ll chill, and I’ll help you relax,” he murmurs, tilting his head down to press a gentle kiss to my lips, his hand sliding to my bottom and squeezing.
“Fuck, I don’t need to see that shit.”
The moment is broken by Breaker’s growl.
“Get the fuck over it.” Speed snorts.
