Now she’s all excited about going to school and I was happy as fuck that I could give her that. Her life was coming together little by little and soon the past would be nothing more than a distant memory. She and Carrie were already talking about what they were gonna do to the place that mom and dad had found us and they spent hours on the net checking out the surrounding area for shit to do which translated meant shopping. I also realized that having Carrie as a sister in law was an added bonus for her, the two spent hours talking about their experiences and it seemed to help Kadyn accept that she could have a normal life after suffering through atrocity.
Carrie was doing her best to drag her into the lifestyle of the rich and spoilt. Poor Kadyn didn’t know what to do with herself she was always whispering to me about the prices of some of the shit Carrie kept telling her she just had to have. Carrie doesn’t look at price tags and she’s trying her best to get Kadyn onboard. I’m not sure that she’ll ever reach that point but as long as she got the shit she wanted I didn’t really care. I know one thing; women lose their minds over the silliest shit; though it was fun watching her get all excited about some girly shit that she’d always wanted.
Chapter 25
“Wake up baby.” I was already entering her sleep warm body when I whispered that in her ear. As always she opened her legs wider and made room for me. I rocked into her gently enjoying the feel of being inside her. When we were like this, locked together in the early morning hours her body so tiny beneath mine, the love of a new day so fresh in my heart and mind it was always like a renewal for me.
Each day I woke up with a new purpose and it was all about her, how to make her happy, how to make her life better. Lifting my head I pushed her hair back so I could look into her face. “I love you baby.” That infectious smile broke out across her face as she pulled me down for a kiss. “ I love you too.” It wasn’t the first time she’d admitted it but each time she said the words something hot and sweet ran through me.
“I think I came too deep in you last night baby, but don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.” I’m nineteen and kids are the last fucking things on my mind but in that moment if it were true, if it was a done deal, I had no problem with it. The thought that I had or could even now be breeding her had me speeding up my thrust and grind. She was wetter than she’d ever been and that was saying a lot because my girl juices like a ripe fruit. I think she liked the idea of me planting one in her. Who knew the thought of breeding my girl would be so fucking sexy?
I followed her to the diner because there was something I needed to talk to her dad about. She was looking hot as hell in white shorts and a pink halter top thing that showed off her belly button and that piercing that drives me nuts. Not sure about the rest of the general public enjoying the view though. She was looking like a teenager again, hair blowing in the wind and a nice tan from all the time spent by the pool. There was a healthy glow to her that hadn’t been there before and her eyes shone with a new light. I wasn’t feeling too bad myself these days and my walk was a lot lighter than it had been before she came along. All in all Kadyn and I were proving to be very good for each other. And to think just a few short months ago I was ready to throw it all in.
“Grab a seat at the counter baby I need to talk to your dad a minute. Follow me to the back Stan?” We headed to his office in back and closed the door. “Hey I meant to tell you guys, Dan has been asking after Kadyn.”
“What the hell does he want?” I’d almost forgotten the guy’s existence to tell you the truth and since she’d pleaded with me not to tell her dad he could have no idea that even mentioning the prick’s name was like waving a red flag at a bull.
“I’m not sure, he’s been in here a couple times asking where she is. I wasn’t too sure if I should tell him where she was, but I always forget to tell her when I come over.” He gave me a look like I was playing the jealous boyfriend and he found that shit amusing. If only he knew.
“Thanks for telling me but he doesn’t need to know where she is it’s none of his business.” What the fuck? I shook it off and got down to what I was there for, I’ll deal with his ass later if he persisted with his shit. Reaching into my pocket I pulled out the box I’d been hiding there and opened it. “I’m giving this to Kadyn this weekend while we’re away.”
This was a marquis cut four-carat diamond set in platinum. I could see from his dropped jaw reaction that he was both surprised and pleased. “Wow, just…that’s some rock son.”
“Only the best for my girl; I’m not asking for your blessing or anything that corny but I wanted you to know. So you’re good?”
“I thought you weren’t asking for my blessing?” He grinned at me from his place behind his desk.
“Just making sure you’re cool, that you know she’s in good hands. There’s a difference between dating her and tying her down for life.”
“As long as she’s happy…speaking of which, whatever happened with that other thing?” he didn’t have to spell it out for me to know what he was talking about. “We’re not discussing that remember? I have it all under control. All you need to know is that she’s going to be fine. We’re gonna go off to school and start a new life together and as long as I live no harm will ever come to her.”
He was quiet for a minute as though struggling with whether or not to let it go but there was really nothing he could do about it. I had no intention on sharing anything that my brother and I were doing. One, because too many people knowing shit always leaves room for shit to get leaked. And two, if this shit went south the less people involved the better. “You make sure you don’t get yourself in any trouble son. My daughter seems very happy these days and I know it’s all thanks to you. I’d like to see her stay that way and having you behind bars won’t do that.”
“Trust me Stan I’ll never do anything that would take me away from her so have no worries. Besides who said I was doing anything anyway? I’m just interested in making sure she’s safe and happy, covering her tracks so to speak.” He didn’t look like he believed me and that was fine, I never thought he was a stupid man and didn’t expect him to become one now. As long as he didn’t pressure me to answer any questions, which I wouldn’t do anyway, we were fine.
“Can I ask you something son?”
“What’s that?”
“Why my daughter? I know your family, know a little bit about you too; you could have anyone around here why a young girl with so much hanging over her head?”
“I thought I told you that already, my heart knows her, she belongs to me.” He shook his head at me as he stood from his seat and walked around his desk. “Thanks, for doing something that I couldn’t.”
“Don’t think of it like that Stan, we just came at it from two different angles. Your hands were tied because the law knew about you, they don’t know about me, and my resources. Besides it’s not about who does what as long as we get it done. You still coming up with us right?”
“Yeah I’ve already taken care of things here. I can’t believe my little girl is going off to college, that’s the only thing that was bothering me once we got her away from him. I hated the idea of her putting her life on hold but she was too scared.”
“Well now she isn’t, we’re not gonna let him win.” I clapped his shoulder as we headed out of his office.
I went back out to her and kissed her bye. “Be good baby okay, I’ll see you in a couple hours.” With one last kiss and a rub on her ass I headed for the door. “You and me are gonna have a chat later about that get up.” I threw the words over my shoulder and where as before she would’ve shied away from confrontation this time she blew me a sassy kiss and grinned. That’s my fucking girl.
I needed everything to be perfect for the upcoming weekend. I’d decided to give her her ring while we were away. I was still trying to figure out the whole wedding thing, I knew fuck all about that stuff. I couldn’t ask Josh because his shit wasn’t exactly conventional and I wanted Kadyn to have a girly type thing because somehow I knew she would want that. I also wanted her mother to be here so there was a lot that needed to be done in a short space of time. School was only a few short months away and I wanted the deed done before we left Sea Crest. Since I’m a male and a Steele at that there’s a safe bet that I’d muck shit up, so that’s what I was about to go hit mom up for now. I’m sure she would be only too happy to help.
I headed to the computer store first. Kadyn had left everything when she ran, afraid that he’d use that stuff to find her somehow. The phone she had now was an old throwaway type thing, which she thought might be safer. I’m not quite sure what happened there or why she decided it was too dangerous to use it to call her mom. I got her all the latest shit and made the sales guy very happy, I’ll leave the cases and other doodads to her and her girls since I know both Carrie and Nessa have some fancy shit that they wrap their stuff in.
