When we finally break apart, she’s panting. The fire in her eyes is burning bright, but we have a lot of other things to worry about, and plus, she just had a baby. My hand slides down her body, and when I come in contact to her stomach, she winces. There is no way I’ll be letting her do anything while she is still in pain.
“We need to talk about what’s going to be happening.” She frowns, and I know that she would rather talk about anything but that.
“I overheard you when you were on the phone.” I look into her eyes, and she looks like she might cry.
“Why is everyone so scared of your brother? I know he has a temper and I know choked you before I came to get you, but this shit doesn’t really make sense.” I move the hair out of her face and she sucks in a breath.
“He’s always been a little off. He’s angry most of the time, and that’s probably why you never met him. He’s been killing things since we were kids. When we were with daddy out of town, he threatened to kill me. Daddy flipped out, and told him that if he so much as touched a hair on my head, then he was done. I think daddy was going to kill him himself if he had to. I was scared for Evan. But even with his temper, I still loved him. He’s my big brother and I would do anything for him if he asked.” Her voice breaks and she looks away from me.
The tears start to slip down her face, and I know that there is something she isn’t telling me. “What did he do?” I can hear the nervousness in my voice and I just hope that she doesn’t hear it.
“When they found out I was pregnant, he took off. We didn’t hear from him for a few days. That’s the real reason we stayed longer. Daddy didn’t want to leave him behind. God knows what he would have done without us there still. Daddy used his contacts to find him, and then part of his crazy plan was uncovered.”
Clenching and unclenching my fist, I try to keep my calm. When she continues, I can see the hurt flash across her features.
“Once we got him home, he followed me into the bathroom one night and he pushed me up against the wall. He had his hand on my throat and I was seriously scared for my life.” Her body shivers as she remembers what happened, and her hands grip mine.
“He was angry that I let you fuck me. He was angry that we didn’t use protection. He threatened to kill me if I didn’t get rid of the baby. I had never seen him that angry, and for a second, I just wanted him to kill me instead. I would have never done that. The baby was part of you, and if I didn’t get to have you, at least I would have him.”
Tears start to trickle down her face and I can only see red. I’m going to kill that bastard. Wiping the tears from her eyes, I have my mind made up. I don’t give a fuck what I have to do, I will make sure to kill him fucking slowly.
