Each word was punctuated by a poke to my chest and tears, she was also shaking like a leaf and her words were not too steady. I got the feeling she was trying really hard to be brave and even as pissed as I was at her I was proud as fuck that she had the balls to stand up to me. I fought back a smile as she spat at me in her fury. I’d never heard her cuss before but when she started telling me what she would do to my manhood if I left her I couldn’t hold back the laughter anymore. And just like that it was over, the anger, the hurt and truth be told, the fear. Looks like Kitten and I had just had our first major fight and we’d won. There was still the question of whether or not I could let her get away with saying that rancid shit to me though.
“You think you’re tough little girl?” even I knew my voice held no real heat, no wonder she threw herself against me and hid her face in my chest. I’m such a chump that I held her while she sniffled. When she’d caught herself I pulled her head back by fisting her hair and looked into her eyes. “I don’t want you near that guy again. Is this all he did?” I ran my finger over the bruise under her eye.
“Yeah, he tried locking me in his room and when I bit him he struck me and I ran. I hid outside and called Carrie, sorry, I didn’t call you. That’s when he came out and slashed my tires. I don’t know what came over him, why he acted that way. I’ve never given him any idea that I was interested in him in that way. We hadn’t seen each other in years…”
“Where were his parents and his brother while this was going on?”
“They were there but they didn’t do anything I don’t know why.” Maybe because they know their son is an abusive asshole. I didn’t say it out loud but I was thinking I should’ve broken his fucking arm at the very least.
“If you ever find yourself in that kind of situation again you call me, no one else me, do you understand?” She nodded yes and gave into the shakes and tears. “Ssh it’s okay come ‘ere.” I held her as tight as I could without squeezing the breath out of her amazed that we’d gotten through this crisis intact. For a minute there I had seriously given thought to sending her home, I’m not sure that I could’ve broken things off with her but the anger was enough that I was willing to separate us for a few days. Now I was worried that that might’ve sent the wrong message. Fuck it’s like walking a minefield not knowing what was the right thing to do in every situation. Because of my past and hers there were certain things I never wanted to have to navigate, not this soon anyway. I had barely relearned trust in another human being and I’m sure she had some issues there too. I had fashioned myself as sort of a security blanket for her and yet I had been ready to send her away.
Why the fuck was I feeling guilty about this shit? she’s the one who’d fucked up all around. First by going to that dick’s house and then by calling me a stalker. Okay she didn’t exactly call me that shit but it was close enough. “Did mom take care of your eye?” she nodded as I turned her towards the bed to sit, I was suddenly very drained from the day’s fuckery and also from coming close to disrupting my life again.
“Kadyn let’s get a few things straight okay. I’ll forgive you this time but if you ever say anything like that to me again I’m not going to be this understanding. That was a low disgusting blow baby, and before we even go any farther right now I think you should know that I’m going to be the same guy where you’re concerned always. So if you think my actions constitute stalking then you should probably walk now because I’m always gonna want to know where you are and where you’re going.
I’m going to gripe at you about wearing certain things and about who the fuck you talk to because that’s just who the fuck I am. If you can’t deal…no fuck that just learn to fucking deal with it. If that scares you I’m sorry, it’s not meant to but you yourself should know better than anyone how dangerous it is out there and how fucked up human beings can be. When you’re out of my fucking sight you bet your ass I’m going to be calling you to find out where and who. I’ll try not to be too annoying but I don’t really give a fuck about that either. In all the time you’ve been here how many times have you seen Carrie go off somewhere by herself?” I let her think until the realization dawned on her that she’d never seen that shit.
“Your situation is going to be ten times worst you know why? Carrie’s shit was a one-night thing, that guy was out to harm anyone it didn’t matter who. The asshole who’s been after you has been for a long time, not that he’s ever getting near your ass again, I’m not saying that; but I’m always going to be cautious when it comes to your safety. Are we clear on this, you need to get pen and paper and write this shit down for future reference?”
“No I’ve got it, it’s pretty much what Josh told me earlier.”
“When did you and Joshua talk?”
“When you tore out the house and wouldn’t answer your calls. I thought he was going to kill me when I told him what I’d said to you but after he calmed down he explained some things about why you reacted the way you did. He was also the one who told me that you might try to send me away and that I shouldn’t let you. Did Carrie really almost die the last time they broke up? that’s awful.” Here she slapped me in the chest. “And you were going to do that to me?”
“Hey, I didn’t teach you how to fight so you could make me black and blue. So my brother gave you pointers on how to stand up to me huh. There’s loyalty for ya.” She wrapped her arms around me and squeezed, a very un-Kadyn-like move, and I kissed her hair happy that it was over. I didn’t feel the sickness in the pit of my stomach that had been with me all day as I drew her in and sniffed her, taking in her scent. It wasn’t quite there yet but I knew how to fix that. “Is your face hurting? Shit I didn’t even stop to think if you needed a doctor sorry about that.”
“It’s okay your dad had a look when he came home earlier it’s fine. Whatever your mom and the girls did before he got here took most of the swelling down but I don’t think there’s much that can be done about the coloring. Oh and one more thing, please don’t tell my dad about any of this. I don’t want him getting into trouble, all day I’ve been expecting to hear sirens coming down the driveway but your mom said she doubted Dan would call the cops after what he did.”
“Don’t say his name babe just let it go, as for not telling your dad I’ll have to think about that this shit happened on his watch after all. Maybe I need to give him a heads up so he knows what to look out for if that asshole comes around again.”
“He won’t I promise, just please don’t say anything, dad might go over there and who knows what might happen.”
“It’s his job to protect his daughter Kadyn that’s what the fuck he’s supposed to do, go over there and knock the ever living shit out of that piece a shit.”
“Okay Matthew just calm down.” She petted me like I was a wild animal about to break my leash. I kissed her bruise softly and pulled her in for a hug. I missed her, I only just realized how much I’d missed her while I was away from her, when I thought we were gonna have to take a break from each other. “I love you.” In that moment I knew that there would never be a time when I’d let us be apart no matter what. “He didn’t hurt you anywhere else you’re sure?”
“No I’m fine just a little pissed at myself but I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
“Oh really, what do you want to do?” I was already lifting her top over her head being careful not to touch her face. As soon as her breasts came into view, spilling out over the top of her bra I swooped in for a taste. I almost came close to losing this, to walking away. It would never have worked, I know that now, a man can’t live without his heart can he? When she wrapped herself around me I felt everything in me settle, and all the dread of the day just fell away. It was our first hurdle and we’d leapt over it and more than that she was fine, in fact she was better than fine, she’d stood her ground and showed no fear. More than any apology that showed me that she trusted me. It’s more than I could ask for.
We laid back across the bed and I felt the adrenaline rushing through her as she pushed me to my back. “I want to be on top.” I let my arms drop back to my sides as she pulled on my pants until she got them off then hopped out of her shorts before sitting on my lower stomach. She had a gleam in her eye that I’d not seen before and when she dragged her nails down my chest to my navel and then lower, lower until she was trailing a path down my hardening cock, I knew she meant business. She grinned at me before she maneuvered her body so that she could take my cock into her warm mouth and I almost came off the bed. With my hands wrapped in her hair I watched through slitted eyes as she licked the pre cum from the head before teasing me with her teeth. I bit into my lip as she licked her way down to my balls and back before sucking me into her mouth and sucking me off while she ran her nails down my thighs. I knew it was her show but I wanted in on the action so I jackknifed being careful not to go too far down her throat and hurt her as I pulled her ass around.
