“When Flynn called saying he found you, I couldn’t wait for you to arrive. I was ready to take the next flight out to Ireland to get you, so I was the first person you saw, knowing you would be safe. Of course, your dad wouldn’t let me leave. He knew I would be put away if I left, so I had to wait.”
I turn to him, grab his face, and bring his lips to mine, kissing him gently. I let the kiss show him I’m still here and love him. I can’t form words to express how much I appreciate and love him, so I kiss him with all I have, hoping he can feel thelove through my lips. I straddle his lap to feel his warm skin on mine. He doesn’t even get hard. He knows this isn’t the time for that. Respect for my injuries. This cold-blooded man loves this damaged and ruined girl. So poetic.
I pull away, looking into his eyes, nodding at him. He nods back. Respect. He rinses my hair, not allowing me off his lap. He takes the sponge, washing my breasts and my stomach, seeing all the scars.
Cigar marks litter my breasts and slashes on my stomach, creating a mosaic of bad memories. He growls, looking at the marks. I grab his face again, looking into his dead eyes. “It’s okay, I’m safe now, D. I’m home.”
He nods at me, murmuring, “She’s safe, she’s safe.”
He abruptly gets up and out of the bath, grabbing two towels and wrapping one around himself. The other is for me. He scoops me up bridal style in his arms, sets me down on the counter, and wraps me in the towel to dry off. He finds the brush in the drawer and brushes my long curls. Once he’s done, he takes me to his bed and lays me down. He undoes his towel and mine and lays with me.
“I just want to feel your skin on mine, Knowing you’re beside me with no barrier. Knowing you’re alive and with me is all I need from you.” He kisses me. Slow and sensual. He kisses my lips, my neck, down my collarbone, to my breasts. He pulls each nipple into his mouth, flicking it. Kisses the five cigar burn marks that litter my breasts. He kisses my stomach and licks all eight of the knife slashes and kisses each one gently.
“They are all dead, Flynn promised me. I’ll kill any man who touches you or hurts you again.” He growls, still kissing my scars.
“You are not used; you are not disgusting. You’re perfect even with all these scars, baby. You’re a warrior. My warrior. Do you understand me?” I nod.
“Jade, words, baby. I need your words.”
“Y-yes, D, I’m a warrior, your warrior,” I whisper. He keeps kissing my body. He kisses my pelvis and my thighs, and I squeeze them shut.
“Jade!” he says sternly. “Don’t. I need this; I need you to feel safe and loved. Please let me make you feel good. I won’t be rough. Just let me make you come alive.” And I do just that.
My phone is ringing, forcing me out of that memory. I don’t even realize I have tears in my eyes until I feel the wetness on my cheeks. I answer the phone without looking at it.
“Hello,” sniffling
“Jade, what’s wrong?” D’mitri says
“Nothing, D, I’m fine,” I say, trying to cover the lie.
“Baby, I know when you’re lying and you’re crying. What the fuck is wrong? You don’t cry over anything. What happened? Don’t make me come down there.”
“—D fucking chill, I’m fine. I was just thinking about– why are you calling me?” I ask abruptly to change the goddamn subject.
“I’m calling because one of the shipments we were supposed to receive last night was hijacked. I need you to put your ears to the ground. Thank god it wasn’t the shipment for O’Patrick but for the Pierces. And I’m unsure if Kayla is aware, but the shipment is missing. It was clocked into the docks but never received from the buyer. I have four bodies to clean up.”
“I haven’t spoken to Kayla yet; been in class all day. But I’ll see what’s good and let you know. Should I be worried about Flynn’s order?” I ask.
“Na, that will be here on time and in a different location. Either I’ll call you with the details, or Big John will give you a shout,” he says
“Okay. I’ll be waiting,” I reply.
“Are you sure you’re good, Sweet Bottom?” he questions.
“Fuck you, D,” and I hang up, not before hearing him cackle on the other end.
Kayla’s parents’ shipment was intercepted and stolen. Who the fuck would have the audacity to steal from that family? Kayla’s family is one not to mess with or steal from. They will leave you in a vat of acid and then feed your bones to the pigs. Hopefully, I’ll see her in a bit, and we can put our heads together and figure this shit show out.
