“So fucking beautiful,” he murmurs.

“Noah,” I cry, riding him slowly, but moving so I can feel him deep inside of me, filling me, scraping against my inner walls…

Possessing me to the point that I know without a doubt he’s leaving his own kind of scars.Scars that will never heal, but these scars aren’t black.These scars are made of pure beauty.

“My beautiful, Rory,” he murmurs, his hand wrapping around the side of my neck and bringing me in close.His tongue thrusting into my mouth just as hot, just as slow and just as sweet as his cock is inside of me.“Mine,” he gasps against my mouth.

“Yours,” I whisper, kissing him again, knowing that to Noah they might just be words, but to me… they’re the beautiful truth.

“Noah!”Rory laughs when I dip her nose with whipped cream.

“Dad, you’re always telling me not to play with my food,” Ryan points out.

“Sometimes playing with your food is fun, Ry,” I tell him with a wink at Rory.She instantly blushes.She’s no doubt remembering our fun time yesterday while Ryan was in school.

I know I am.

It’s been a month and a half of this life.A month and a half I like.I keep looking for signs that Rory is anyone but who she claims to be, but I’ve not found it.Every day all I see is Rory and despite the caution I try to take, she slips behind my walls a little more.

She’s open, loving, hilarious at times, stubborn, sassy and a million other things.Most of all she gives with her heart.Ryan has flourished with her attention in ways I never expected.When I watch the two of them it becomes crystal clear that Violet never cared for Ryan.She would pretend in front of me, but not once did I see real interaction between them.Why this wasn’t a red flag earlier on, I’m not sure.Maybe because I never had it, I’ve never seen it given to Ryan either so I didn’t know what to look for.I should have.I’m pissed at myself because I didn’t.Dani gives that to children her and Crusher have brought into their family.Hell, she even gives it to Ryan, I just never dissected it before.

Dani also never liked Violet—none of the old ladies did.Why couldn’t I have seen it?Why in the fuck was I so blind?

“Rory?Why do you always call Dad, No’uh?”Ryan asks and I drag my thoughts back to the here and now.

“Because it would be silly to call him daddy, silly.He’s your dad, not mine,” she laughs.“You better hurry and eat your pancakes or you’ll be late for school.”

It seems unreal to me that there’s a woman interested about Ryan getting to school on time.A little more of that fear that I keep wrapped around my heart seems to disappear.Things feel safe with Rory.I feel safe with Rory, safe enough to let her be near Ryan and let him care about her.

I just pray I’m not wrong.

“You can try calling me daddy later if you want, Gorgeous,” I whisper low into her ear, making sure she’s the only one that can hear me.

She turns her head to the side to look at me and the heat in those green eyes of hers makes me groan low.I need her again.I’ve been careful not to have her in my house overnight since that first night.I didn’t want to get Ryan too used to having her around and truthfully, I needed to protect myself.But, with each day that passes, I’m slowly letting my defenses down and I’m tired of sleeping in an empty bed, knowing Rory could be there.

We steal away moments when she’s not working or when Ryan’s at school.But, I’m finding out that it’s not enough.I want more and more of Rory and it doesn’t seem to be going away.

“I don’t mean that.Why don’t you call him by his name?”Ryan asks.Fuck!I should have seen this coming.I don’t know why I didn’t and I guess I should be thankful that it didn’t happen sooner.Now, however, I need to wade in and try to do some damage control.

“Ryan—” I begin, but Rory cuts me off.

Shit.

“What do you mean?”she asks.Her gaze goes from my son to me and I see confusion there, clear as day.Fucked up bastard that I am, I like her confusion.To me it’s just another sign that she hasn’t been playing me.

“Ryan, that is my name,” I tell him and then I pause wondering how to explain that although Noah is my name I’ve never used it.I need to find a way to explain it without bringing up my road name.I don’t want Rory to know it.I may be starting to trust her, but I’m not ready to tell her things.I may never be ready for that.

There’s too much on the line.

“Oh!”Rory exclaims.Her face relaxes as she smiles at me.“You mean everyone calls him Westin?”she asks Ryan and I frown, a coldness moving through my body at the speed of light.

“How did you know my name was Westin?”I ask her, my voice tight and I step away from her.Without even realizing I’m doing it, I walk to my son, putting my body in front of his—keeping him separated from Rory.

Her eyes widen and she pales.There’s still confusion there, but there’s something else.Hurt.I don’t like it on her face, but I can’t do anything to stop it.She’s not stupid, in fact she’s one of the smartest women I’ve ever met.She has to know just from my tone and the way I moved to my son that I don’t like her knowing my name.She has to know I’m trying to protect my child…from her.If she doesn’t, then she at least knows I’m not happy with her answer.No matter what she’s thinking, it hurts her…
