She made them promise not to tell me, but Winchester knew where his loyalties lied, and he came to me like he should have. He gave King and I the rundown of the meeting with Shepard, how she stood up to him, and how she was hurt at her favorite burger place.
King was ready to fly to Montana to kill Shepard, but he would be ready for one of us to retaliate and I didn’t want to play into his theory that we were “under her thumb”. It was better to let him think he was in the clear and then kill him. We also had to let Ally think her secret was safe and her trust in the triplets was safe too.
I put my hands in my pockets and walked towards the merry-go-round since I knew it was her favorite. The feeling of beingwatched grew stronger as I walked around it, seeing her out of the corner of my eye. She had her hood up, but I saw a piece of red hair sticking out.
There was a shadow just big enough for me that I could hide in to wait for her behind the merry-go-round. I pushed myself against the gate to blend in with the shadows, I listened for her footsteps that should have come by now.
Did she not see me come this way?
I peeked out of the shadows when I felt the sharp edge of a knife under my chin.
“So predictable, Boogie,” Ally purred.
“Oh, I’ll show you predictable,” I growled, knocking the knife out of her hand, grabbing her around her waist like I was going to tackle her. She sidestepped me, kicked my knee out and ran.
“So predictable!” She laughed and ran away.
I laughed, got up and chased her, not having to run far before I ran into King who had thrown her over his shoulder. He smacked her ass.
“Not fair, you used the cameras,” she squealed.
“Nothing is ever fair, Little One,” I said, smacking her ass too before grabbing a handful.
“Not with you two,” she moaned, as I trailed my fingers down the seam of her pants to her pussy.
“Boogie, we have a job to finish,” King said, watching my hand.
“Is he here?” I asked, sliding my hand in between her legs.
“Just pulled up,” he said transfixed, as Ally moaned.
“I guess we better hurry.” I removed my hand.
“NO!” Ally whined.
King chuckled. “Soon, Doll.”
He let her down slowly before kissing her roughly, like he was trying to devour her. I grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her head back before I kissed her hard. She bit my lip,the pain turning into pleasure. She whimpered as I tugged on her hair again. I wanted nothing more than to sink into her tight heat and forget about everything for a few hours. I didn’t want to be Boogie or her to be Noelle or King to be the man who ran Halloween Town. I just wanted a few hours away from the chaos.
“Boogie,” King snapped.
I snarled, yanking myself away from Ally to walk away as I warred with myself. It would be so easy to give up this life and take them so far away that we could just be us; normal people who lived a life that was easy and less demanding. I could already picture coming home to Ally after a long day, her in my bed every night and every morning, waking up to both of them. The dream seemed so close I could grasp it in my hand, but I knew it wasn’t that simple.
I walked away, not trusting myself to say or do anything stupid. They talked as I walked towards the haunted house where we would capture the man. A man who apparently needed to disappear, who saw something he shouldn’t have and now we were left to do the dirty work. Could I give this up? It gave me an outlet to keep myself in check and if I didn’t keep my demons at bay, what would happen?
Before I knew it, I was in the house and King was introducing Sarah to Ally. They shook hands and Sarah asked her a few questions as King came up to me. Ally glanced back at me, biting her lip as she studied me.
“You good?” he asked.
I stared at him not knowing what to say. I had a lot of things to say, but I didn’t know how to say them.
“Get the kill and let's see how you feel afterwards, ok?”
I blinked and forced myself to nod.
He pulled me in for a kiss, but I couldn’t kiss him back no matter how much I pushed myself to reciprocate.
“It’s ok, don’t force it,” he murmured against my lips. “Whatever is going on we will take care of you.”
