Sleeping with my boy.

Sleeping with my boy, under my roof.

Sleeping with my boy, under my roof, and in my bed.

In my bed.

In my bed.

One by one the thoughts hit me.One by one they slip deep inside of me and I know I’ve got to find my way back to her.I’ve let my past color everything I’ve done.I’ve let bitches like Vicki and Violet get into my head and I couldn’t see what was right before me.Fuck, even that’s wrong.I saw it, I was just afraid to trust it…afraid to trust Rory.

I’ve got a lot of shit to make up for, hopefully she won’t make me wait forever to forgive me.

Tomorrow I’ll talk to the doctor and get the tests that I need to have done.If Rory says I was the father to her child… Fuck.There are things I need to know.I’ve been unfair to her from day one, but now there’s one thing I’m sure of.

If Rory makes me wait to forgive me, I’m okay with that.

Rory is someone I’d wait forever on.

Forever.

I don’t know what kind of shit Vicki fed King, but I know Ryan is mine.I don’t know how she got King to believe otherwise, but that’s not my problem.The bastard is as fucked in his head as Vicki was, it’s just that his drug of choice seems to be power.I’m going to use that against him.When I strike I want it so he doesn’t know what hit him and when he finds out… it will be too late to fucking do a thing about it.I’ll take everything from him, one piece of his precious empire at a time.No one lays hands on my family.No one touches my woman.

King is a walking dead man.I just need time to get on my feet.

At that thought, I ignore the soreness and bone deep exhaustion I feel and I start doing the exercises they gave me to do, right here in my bed.The pain is excruciating, but it’s no worse than being here when I should be in my bed with my family.

I hope Rory is ready because I’m coming home to her and this time when I claim her, nothing is going to take her away...

Not even my own stupidity.

Chapter32

Rory

Two Weeks Later

“This is ridiculous.You can’t just keep me here as a prisoner.I have rights!”I huff at Crusher.He’s holding his head down, but when he looks up at me I can see the irritation on his face.

He’s irritated with me!The asshole!

“You’re not leaving, Rory.It’s not safe.”

“Ryan is here, he’s safe.That’s all that matters.”

“It’s not all that matters,” Crusher argues, but I ignore him.

“If I’m not here I can keep King looking in other directions.I know how my brother works.It’s best for all involved—especiallyRyan—if I leave,” I respond and I don’t even care that it practically sounds like I’m pleading with him.

I am desperate.I’ve been here for two weeks and there are several reasons I need to leave.The first, and most important, is that Diesel will be back before long.I have no idea when, because I refuse to take his calls and I won’t ask the others about him.I know that they are working on a room close to his.They’re putting exercise equipment in it and things of that nature.That tells me he will be here sooner rather than later.

That means I need to be gone.

“Rory—”

“Crusher, you don’t know my brother.I need to be out there pulling his attention away from finding Ryan.”

“You’re not putting yourself in danger.You did that already to protect him and we’re all more grateful than I could ever tell you, but that’s not happening again.”
