“Ok, but put the gun down,” Buttercup says as she comes from behind, and I yank her back to me.
Jasmine puts her hand on mine and smiles back at me. “It’s alright, Chris. If we do what he wants, he won’t shoot us.”
How she knows that, I’m unsure, but I release my hold on her. She smiles and I see how me giving her trust affects her.
“Jaxon, you were so nice to me the first day we met. I was hoping we could be friends.”
Why the hell is she being nice to him? Even now, she can find a way to be compassionate. It drives me wild, but the gun still being pointed at me keeps me from getting a boner.
Chapter Thirty-Six
“Itwasabet.Surely you aren’t that stupid.” Jaxon shrugs his shoulders at us, and I nod.
“I know. It’s alright. I’m pretty sure I would have been worth lots of points in your game, but you see, I wasn’t meant to be with you.” I walk a little closer to him and he scrunches his eyes at me.
“Stop moving toward me, cow.”
Raising my hands to show him, I mean no harm, I stop moving. “Alright. I’m sorry. I won’t move forward, but look at me, Jaxon. Committing murder isn’t for you. You’re above that.”
“My life is ruined,” he bellows at me, and I nod.
“Yes, it is. You did something you shouldn’t have, but that doesn’t mean you have to be in jail for the rest of your life. You can still move on. Just not right now.”
Jaxon lowers the gun, and I breathe a little easier.
“I’m sorry.” Suddenly, he brings the gun up to his mouth and pulls the trigger.
“No!” I scream and try to take a step toward him as his brains splatter behind him. “No. No. No.”
Chris grabs me and turns me away from the scene. “We could have worked it out,” I cry into his chest and he rubs my back.
“It’s alright, little one. Just let it out. It’s going to be alright.” He picks me up, and I don’t fight him about it. I’m too stunned to say anything else.
Chris lays me down on the bed and pulls the covers over us. “He killed himself. He… he took…”
My words are interrupted when Chris kisses me. His tongue pushes into my mouth, and I moan.
“Don’t think about it. I’m going to take care of everything. Please, little one, stay in this bed and don’t ask questions.”
“Ok, but only one, alright?” I look up at him and beguile him with my eyes.
He smiles down at me and nods. “Yes, but only one. What is it?”
“Will... will you hold me for just a bit?” I know he doesn’t want me, but I need him. I need him to hold me and keep me safe. Later, I can be upset with him. For now, he’s the only thing keeping me from losing my shit.
“Of course.” He curls me into him and holds me close, rocking me softly.
“Daddy!” I scream as the dream wakes me up. My heart is beating out of my chest, and when I get my eyes to focus, Chris is nowhere to be found. Taking a deep breath, I rush to get out of the bed. Did he leave already?
Walking into the living room, I see the man from Timberland there along with his brothers.
“Thank you for taking care of this,” Chris says as he shakes their hands.
“Ah, there she is,” the one with the piercing green eyes says, nodding toward me. I think his name is Kronos. But that could be wrong.
As they turn toward me, Chris comes and gets me. “Don’t be scared. The Powers brothers have come to help us. As you can see, everything is cleaned now.”
He puts his arm around my shoulders and guides me over to them. “Thank you,” I say, meaning it. “I…”
