“Okay,” I agreed.
Gage grinned and popped one of my homemade tortilla chips into his mouth. “Thatta girl,” he said.
Walking up to the bedroom, I hoped I was doing the right thing.
Twenty-Three
Huck
Breaking this damn mustang in ninety-degree weather was fucking hell. I wiped my forehead with my arm and cursed, walking back toward the stables. Why the fuck did Blaise want a freaking mustang anyway? We were in the thoroughbred business.
Maddy was walking out of the stables when I reached the entrance. She shielded her eyes from the sun and looked up at me.
“You look like you’ve had fun,” she said sarcastically.
“Fucking blast,” I replied.
She laughed. “I saw a little of it. There is no way I’d get on a horse like that.”
She was getting better on the back of a horse, but she had her favorites that she trusted. Blaise had given up on trying to get her to ride any of the others.
“I enjoyed having Trinity at the house. Anytime she wants a change of scenery, send her my way,” Maddy said. “Cree has asked for her twice today.”
I nodded. “Okay.” I didn’t want to talk about Trinity. I was currently coming up with shit to do just to stay away from her.
“Be nice to her. She didn’t tell me much, but, well, she has gone through some bad stuff. I don’t know details, but I … ” She paused, and I could see her struggling with something. “Please don’t tell her I told you this and don’t mention it to anyone else. But when I went out to the shed to take her a towel, she was curled up in a ball on the floor … rocking … and I don’t think she was there mentally. It was as if she were someplace else. I don’t know how to explain it, but it was heartbreaking. She’s been damaged in the past. Go easy on her.”
What the fuck? I stood there, trying to picture what Maddy had described and I couldn’t.
Maddy patted my arm. “Hayes would have wanted her taken care of. Don’t hold things against her. Whatever she’s done, she probably had to.” She gave me one last smile, then headed for her car.
I didn’t move while I attempted to wrap my head around this. When I finally moved again, I didn’t go into the stables. I headed for the Escalade. Guess I’d be going back for the fight after all.
There was shit Trinity hadn’t told me. Maddy wasn’t one to exaggerate. She also didn’t make shit up.
What the fuck had Trinity left out?
For the first time since I had opened my eyes this morning and shut down where Trinity was concerned, I let myself think about her. I’d reached for her before fully waking up, and the pang of disappointment when I realized she was gone bothered me. I shouldn’t have felt anything. It felt too much like an attachment. By the time I had made my way upstairs, I’d managed to get control of my head. There would be no thinking about Trinity.
Walking into the kitchen and seeing the ridiculous amount of food on the island had helped. If Trinity had emotional attachments to me after my taking her virginity, then she’d have tried to please me. She hadn’t. She’d made the food the others wanted. I should have been relieved. No, I had been relieved. She wasn’t acting like a clingy female over a night of hot sex.
Dammit all to hell. My fucking cock began to harden, thinking about it. Jesus, her ass was what poetry was written about. I needed some more to get her out of my system. The sex was too damn good to get over it after one night. I just needed to make sure she didn’t get it confused with anything more.
I’d managed not to think about this or Trinity for most of the day. Maddy had blown that to shit with what she told me. Why the fuck hadn’t she told me sooner? If Trinity had been rocking on the damn floor, then she had trauma. Mental shit, and me fucking the hell out of her wasn’t going to end well. If I’d known this before yesterday, then I wouldn’t have fucked her. The idea of missing out on that though seemed downright tragic.
Fact remained that Trinity had some crap going on in her head, and now, I’d gone and fucked her. I wasn’t sure how I could fix this. Going home and carrying her to my room to fuck her all night was definitely not what she needed.
“FUCK!” I slammed my hand down on the steering wheel.
Why did the hottest fuck I’d ever had have to come with all these complications?
I pulled past the security gate, and the cars outside were lined up. More than usual. I pulled into the garage and headed inside to go find Trinity and ask her what the hell had happened in the shed. Well, maybe not like that exactly. I’d need to be gentler and not shove my dick in her.
What if she wasfatal attractionmental? What the fuck would I do with that? I didn’t know what kind of screwed up she was. I had gone and taken her damn virginity, and she might snap on me. I thought about her tits while she had gotten off on my cock last night and the way she had sounded. Maybe I could live with fatal attraction. If I got more of that.
I might be the one who was mental.
The house was loud when I walked in the back door. It wasn’t time for the fight yet, but everyone had gotten here early. I needed to go wash the dirt and sweat off my body and change before I looked for Trinity. A few people called out to me, and I nodded but kept walking. I smelled like a horse.
