“Listen, I can take them having sex without knowing each other. But calling each other husband and wife after knowing each other for less than a day? They don’t know each other but are already fucking. Now I understood why they were single. These people didn’t know how to date,” I explained.

“That’s an interesting perspective coming from a man. I usually hear men say that they don’t judge women that have sex with them on the first date.”

“I’ve never been that dude. If people took the time to get to know each other, relationships would last a lot longer. Often men lead with a hard dick and women with a wet pussy. This couple right here won’t last. He doesn’t even like her.”

“I guess we are going to have to keep watching to find out. Who knows, he could be one of the guys that felt having sex on the first date is perfectly fine,” Alexis said.

I shrugged my shoulders. This was an instance where we both provided valid points. The dating world was tough, and I didn’t want to experience it ever again. Alexis was all I needed. She was beautiful, had a good career, and she was crazy enough to want me. I hoped all of this was enough, because after tomorrow I didn’t know what would happen.

A Little Girl Talk

I needed some variation in my routine. After breakfast I decided to walk around the property. My only exercise typically came from running to emergencies at the hospital. Since that wasn’t part of my routine for now, I needed to find something to keep my body moving. I couldn’t continue to stay in the house eating and sitting around all day with no movement. After an hour outside, I went back into the house to shower and get dressed for the day.

When I came out of the shower, I was shocked to see Wolf sitting on my bed. With just my towel wrapped around me, I initially tried to cover myself up. I realized how silly I looked since the man had seen me naked, so I decided to continue to put my clothes on.

“Wolf, is everything okay?”

“I’m about to head out with Gavin to handle some business. I didn’t want to leave you alone, so we have two members of his security team waiting to meet you. Their job is to keep you safe while I’m out,” he explained.

I was taken aback. I didn’t expect him to leave me here alone at any point. He never told me the details of the conversation from the other day concerning Abel. I wondered if his sudden departure had anything to do with that. Initially I didn’t pay attention to his attire but now that I was dressed, I did. He had on all black which wasn’t out of the norm. It was the bullet proof vest that peeked through the top of his t-shirt. Along with the holster that held a gun on his left and right side. Then I noticed his sling was gone. If wherever he was headed warranted all of this protection, I was concerned for him.

“Don’t look at me like that. I will be back, I promise. There is nothing to worry about. You will be perfectly safe here,” he assured me.

“Will you be safe? Your arm isn’t healed, and you took your sling off. I doubt you would be able to shoot a gun,” I expressed.

“Come here, Lexxy,” he said as he patted the spot next to him on the bed. With hesitation, I walked over to him and sat beside him.

“Take a deep breath for me. I will be fine, and so will you. For now, I need you to relax and watch some television or read a book. The same thing you would be doing if I was here with you. Can you do that for me?”

I took a deep breath like he instructed me to. When I felt the feeling of worry that had built up subside, I answered him. “Yes, I can do that, but I don’t have to like it. In fact, I don’t like any of this, Wolf.”

“I know, baby. You gotta let me handle it so we can go back to our normal lives,” he said as he kissed my forehead. Wolf grabbed my hand and led me downstairs to meet the dudes from Gavin’s security team. Two burly dudes took up more space in the living room than I was accustomed to. Once we were all standing together, the introductions began.

“Alexis, this is Dobbs, and this is Curry. They are going to look out for you today,” Gavin explained.

Dobbs and Curry both nodded in my direction as they were introduced. My hand gripped Wolf’s hand tighter. I felt nervous. “Nice to meet you both,” I managed to get out.

“Don’t forget what I said, Lexxy. If you need me, I’m a call away,” Wolf said before he kissed my lips. He started to walk away, but I pulled him in for a hug. I took my time inhaling his scent. Until he returned, I would continue to worry about him

“I gotta go, baby,” he whispered softly in my ear. He broke our hug then walked out of the door with Gavin.

I was alone with two strangers. What started out as a good day had turned to shit that fast. I didn’t say a word to Dobbs or Curry. I just went back upstairs to my room. I was certain Wolf had already given them orders, so there wasn’t anything they needed to discuss with me. I was nervous and worried about Wolf, but as usual he was calm and cool.

On top of that I had no idea if Abel was going to be with him or not.

I had already spoken to Abel today, so I didn’t want to call him to ask. He asked me how I was and every day I told him I was fine. If I called him randomly, he would think something was up. The thought of them both in a potentially dangerous predicament had me on the verge of tears.

I needed to talk to someone, and Joy was the first person that came to mind. As I grabbed my phone from the end table next to the bed, I tried not to freak out as I found her contact. I selected her number then pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before she answered.

“I must be really special to get a phone call,” Joy joked.

“Hey, cuz, how are you?” I asked.

“I’m good, but you sound like shit. What’s going on over there? Do you need me to come kick Wolf’s ass?” she asked.

I couldn’t help but laugh. Joy meant her empty threat, which was what caused me to laugh. There would never be a day where she could kick Wolf’s ass, but I appreciated her offer.

“I needed that laugh you don’t even know it. I’m in my feelings because Wolf left the house in all black dressed like he was headed into combat.”
