“Did he... Did he rape you?” his voice is so low as he struggles to ask.
“No, he didn’t go all the way”
“All the way? Fuck Raven, I need you to explain that, as my mind is running wild and I’m hanging by a thread.”
“He touched me but before he could do more, he was stopped.”
“Was stopped? Raven, who was the skip you were chasing?”
This is the part I didn’t want to discuss. Causing issues between chapters is not something I want to do. He needs to know the Vegas club had my back when I needed them.
“The Vegas chapter was also chasing him, they got there in time to stop him from doing anything more. They helped me. I asked Maddog not to say anything but he wasn’t happy about it so we agreed if someone asked, he wouldn’t lie.”
“Raven, I understand that Maddog had your back as we found you through them so we knew they were involved. I am more than thankful to Maddog for being in the right place. But Raven, you haven’t answered my question, who was the skip?”
He is not going to let this go. I’m scared to tell him who it was. Not because I am scared of Reign. Never will I fear Reign, he has a darkness in him but he doesn’t use that darkness again women and children. He protects and cherishes them.
“Tyler Cain Jeffreys”
The atmosphere in the room becomes stifling. The sheer amount of rage vibrating from Reign now is powerful. He is battling with his emotions. I huddle in closer to him, holding that if he can feel me, it will calm him.
“Raven, are you telling me that serial rapist, sadistic son of bitch touched you?” he spits out.
“Yes” I answer
“Never again. Never fucking again is evil like that going to touch you.”
He lifts my chin so I am looking directly into his face. His eyes swimming with so much passion and love. I have to blink a few times to be sure what I am seeing. Love, Reign loves me.
“You are mine. Not pushing you precious, we will take this at your pace but know this, you are mine. My ol lady, my heart and mine to protect. I am going to kill that son of a bitch, do society a favor.”
I take a second to digest what he’s said. I never once dreamed that Reign would have the same feelings as me. After everything that has happened, can I let another man in? Except this isn’t just any man. This is Reign. I have known him for so many years, I know his character.
Deciding to be brave and take my control back, I move onto my knees in front of him on the bed and lean myself into him. Pressing my lips to his. The lips I have dreamed of kissing and feeling on my body.
He wraps his arms around me, holding me to him as he meets my kiss with his own. Both of us pour our feelings into the kiss. His tongue swipes across my lips, begging for entry to my mouth and I am more than happy to let him.
He pulls his mouth away before we can go any further.
“Are you sure you want this? Once I am inside you, there is no going back” he warns
A warm, delightful shiver passes through me at his words. Like hell do I want to go back. This is everything to me.
“I want this, make me yours Reign,” I beg
On a growl, he pounces and I am on my back with him on top of me.
“Gave you an out, you didn’t take it. No going back now Raven. You are mine”
With that, he takes my mouth again, his hands roaming all over me. He breaks the kiss and leans up so he can pull his t-shirt off in the sexy move men seem to do, revealing his beautiful torso which could be carved from stone. I can’t stop my fingers from reaching out and running them along his abs. Bumps appear where my fingers have trailed showing he is just as affected as me. This gives me a thrill.
He pulls me up so he can pull off the sleep shirt he placed on me earlier, baring myself to him. I know when he spots the now fading bruises as his jaw clenches. I cup his face with my hands and pull his face up so he is now looking at me.
“Just you and me here. In our bed, like this, he doesn’t exist. Do not let him take this from me, from us” I beg him
“So, fucking strong and so fucking sexy. Raven, you are beautiful, inside, and out,” he says on a breath as I reach for his jeans. Unbuckling his belt and my fingers clumsy struggle with the buttons on his jeans.
He steps off the bed, leaving me laid out for him. He quickly unbuttons his jeans and within a blink of an eye, he's back with me naked. His mouth finds mine in a scorching kiss. He nibbles at my lips, moving to cover my face in small kisses and nips, working his way down my jaw, my neck and onto my breasts.
