The officer takes a step around the bed toward me. Doc swiftly places himself in between us. His face is hard as stone as he stares Officer Langley down, his eyes full of warning. Officer Langley had better stand down.
Alices whispers, breaking the tension in the room. When I look down at her, her eyes are pleading with me. “I’m fine. I fell down the stairs and that’s how I hurt myself. I just want to get this over with so I can go home.”
I get ready to protest but Doc shakes his head and guides me out of the room. As soon as there’s a little distance between us and the room, I turn to Doc. “He’s beating her!”
“I know. But unfortunately, we can’t do anything about it unless she makes a statement.”
“She’s terrified of him. She needs help!” I say frantically. This isn’t my first DV case, but they are never easy. I wish there was more we could do, but until the patient confirms what we already know, there isn’t much we can do. And he’s a damn officer. That only adds fuel to the fire. My emotions get the better of me and tears spill over my cheeks.
No one should live like that. I rush to the nearest bathroom and try to get myself together. Doc is waiting for me when I walk out. “I had another nurse take over for you. I don’t think you’re incapable, but her husband is already agitated with you and I don’t want things to escalate.”
I nod and go back to the nurses’ station. Later, Alice leaves and all I see is a broken woman. When her eyes connect with mine, she gives me a small smile. Her husband notices and he wraps his hand on the back of her neck possessively and squeezes until she winces. I’ve never been a violent person, but I really want to punch him in the face.
As the day continues, no matter how much I try to calm down, I can’t. Everyone tries to comfort me, but they aren’t who I want. I want Jonah. That realization is everything I need.
I love him.
No matter what hurdles may come our way, I will always want him. He’s my one and I can’t live without him.
The ride home is a blur. My thoughts are fully on Jonah. I’m going to take this leap and not live in fear. If I walked away from Jonah because of things he did when we weren’t together, I would regret it. I know I would. No relationship is perfect. They’re going to have their ups and downs but as long as I have Jonah by my side, the rest doesn’t matter.
When I pull through the gate, I head for the clubhouse and not Cara’s. Exiting my car, I see all eyes are on me. I arrow straight inside and make quick steps to Jonah’s room. Knocking on his door, I stand there, anxiously waiting. I raise my hand to knock again just as the door swings open. Jonah stands there looking worse for wear.
His eyes have darks circles under them and they’re filled with sadness. My heart sinks. I did this to him. At the time I had to, but now I regret it. Jonah’s eyebrows raise to his hairline when his eyes land on me. I don’t even second-guess my next move. Rising on my toes, I bring my lips to his as I push him inside.
Chapter Sixteen
THOR
I’m pretty sure I’m dreaming. I haven’t spoken to Maddy since Diamond threw herself at me and now she’s kissing me. To say I’m shocked isn’t even close to how I feel. I’m stunned but I’m also thrilled to have her back in my arms.
Madison pushes me to the bed. When the back of my knees hit the bed, I sit, and she straddles my lap. Her tongue enters my mouth and I groan. Squeezing her hips, I pull her closer to me. Her breasts rub against my chest as she moans. Her hips began to move, grinding against me. My cock is fully erect and ready to play.
Before things get heated, she breaks the kiss. We’re both panting. I don’t know what’s gotten into her but I fuckin’ love it. Madison has never been the aggressor, but fuck me, it’s sexy as hell.
“I love you,” she finally says.
My mouth drops open. I did not expect that, but I’m elated to hear the words I’ve wanted to hear since she came back into my life.
“I love you too, baby.” We stare into each other’s eyes, lost in the moment. Ten years later and our connection is just aspowerful as it was the day we met. To be so young, people always said it was puppy love, but we knew what we were feeling.
Biting her lip, she stands from my lap. She removes her scrub top, and my eyes devour her. She’s wearing a simple blue bra, but her breasts are begging to be freed. Her tits were always a nice handful. Since she’s been here, she’s gained what I call happy weight. Her figure is back in full effect. Madison hourglass figure looks like it was hand sculpted by God himself.
She’s that perfect.
“I want this, Jonah. With you and you alone. But first, I need to shower. Do you want to join me?”
She kicks off her shoes and socks, then she pulls down her scrub pants and panties in one go. Next is the bra. In ten seconds, she’s stark naked in front of me. Those pale pink nipples are calling to me. Her pussy is waxed and all I want to do is bury my face between her legs. I don’t know how much time passes as I sit there gawking at her. Maddy giggles before heading for my bathroom. I get undressed in record time and follow her.
Maddy is already in my shower. I could see her silhouette through the steam of my glass. Entering the shower, I am ready this time when she launches herself at me. I press her against the glass and consume her in a kiss that makes her knees buckle.
Her hands trail down to my cock and she gives it a firm squeeze. I hiss. “Fuck, Maddy, baby, just like that. Stroke me.”
She whimpers and does exactly what I said. I trail kisses down her throat, all the way to her tits. Taking the hardened nub into my mouth, I give it a good suck before biting down. Madison lets out a whimper as her other hand curls in my hair to hold me in place.
“Jonah, that feels so good.”
I was never rough with Maddy, but my sexual appetite has changed in the last decade. I want to slowly introduce her to newthings, but only if she’s willing to try. I don’t want to scare or force her.
