“Father Levi, a word,” Mother Superior orders. I didn’t even know she was around.

I leave Chastity and Sister Mary, and walk over to her grandmother. She’s watching Chas with a contemplative look on her face.

“What can I do for you, Mother Cross? We're about to leave,” I say, then stick my hand in my pocket, rearranging my erection as inconspicuously as I can. Chastity softly laughs and I realize I’m fighting a losing battle as my cock twitches. I’ll always be constantly turned on for her.

“I wanted to make sure Chastity was alright today. She’s been through so much,” she stresses. “I want to make sure she wasn’t triggered by her wedding night, now that I understand she was telling the truth about how her baby was conceived.”

I’m surprised, and I know it shows. Rolling her eyes, Mother Cross shakes her head.

“You act as if I don’t care about my granddaughter, but that’s the furthest thing from the truth.” She sighs. “I care more than I want to admit. Lately, I wonder if you came into her life right when she needed you the most. Be her champion, Father Levi, but don’t cut her wings. It’s a fine balance.”

Who is this woman?!

Mother Superior smiles gently at Chastity before walking away, and I wonder if I just hallucinated the entire thing.

Walking back to my wife, I say, “I think it’s time that we get on the road, before a new thing happens that needs my attention.”

Sister Mary smiles, bemused. “You’re an important man, but I’m glad you’re taking the time to be with your wife. Treat each other well,” she says.

Saying our goodbyes and thanking her, I practically sprint out the doors with Chastity. Giggling, she tries to keep up with me.

“We have plenty of time, Levi,” she tells me.

“Ugh, Little Sinner, I can never have enough time with you. Let’s get the hell out of here,” I growl, opening the door for her.

It doesn’t takeus long to get onto the road. Chastity plays with the radio and I groan as rock music starts to play. But as I listen to the words while my wife sings them, they actually make my heart race.

“Who is this?” I ask, and she turns to me with a smile.

“I wasn’t allowed TV while I was pregnant with Angel, but my… Maxen let me have a radio. This band is calledThe Darkest Nights,and I don’t know all that their lead singer has been through, but the emotion in her words just made me feel like I wasn’t all alone, even though I was.”

I hum, making a mental note to see about getting her tickets to one of their shows. I reach over and take her hand with mine, as I continue to drive with the other.

“I’m sorry you had to go through that, but just know that you will never be alone again. Till death do us part,” I tease and she gives me a huge grin.

“I really like the sound of that,” she whispers, and I lift her hand so I can give her knuckles a quick kiss.

Twenty minutes later, she’s resting her head on my shoulder and napping. I try not to move, so she can get a well-deserved rest. Because the moment we arrive at the cabin and I shut the door, she’s not going to be sleeping for hours, if I have any say in it.

Before she passed out, I opened my music app and downloaded allThe Darkest Nightssongs. I think they have a new fan. I’m humming to one calledTogether We Roarwhen we arrive at our exit.

The sun has set and I have to turn on my high beams, so I can maneuver through these backwoods roads. I have always loved it out here. My family has owned this cabin for many years, and yes, there are some secrets buried out in the woods behind the house, but I don’t need to worry my Little Sinner about that.

I told her and the guys that I rented this place, because I don’t need anyone knowing that it’s actually one of our safe houses. They will learn the truth once they are members. I turn down the long gravel driveway and reach the gate.

I dig in the cupholder for the opener. Chastity starts to stir and I give her a kiss on her forehead. She sighs, then sits up and grimaces, wiping her mouth. “Sorry, I didn't mean to drool all over you,” she mumbles, then rubs her eyes. “Are we here?” She gasps as the house comes into view.

All the lights are on, and I’ll have to thank my dad. He mentioned during our call that he would swing by and stock the fridge for us. He seems to think we won’t be leaving at all. Which he might be right about.

“Levi… This is…” Chas sniffles and I hit the breaks.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, then start checking her for injuries. “Did sleeping like that hurt you?” I know she’s still not completely healed, and I may have been a little aggressive last night. Fuck, I really am a dick.

“No… This is just… God, I’m a mess. Thank you, Levi. This is amazing,” she says, getting choked up about the cabin. I sigh with relief and nod.

“No 'thank you' needed, Baby Girl. You deserve this and so much more. I love you, Chastity Madden,” I say, leaning over and kissing her. She whimpers and tries to deepen it by grabbing the back of my neck and holding me. I laugh and pull away.
