CHAPTER NINE
Axe
I could tell she was doing the best she could, but she didn’t have shit.
She didn’t have a highchair for Lil man, so she had to hold him on her lap while he ate, which gave him the freedom to squirm around and half his oatmeal ended up in her hair and on her shirt. He didn’t have a real bed or a space to call his own. And while he had a few toys, I didn’t think it was nearly enough. It was obvious that she’d come here with next to nothing. I imagined that she only had stuff that she was able to pack in her car.
Instead of doing my hardest to sit her down and find out everything, I was too busy worrying about how I could fill this place with the shit she needed. And maybe even stuff that she wanted.
“I’m going to go shower,” she said after she cleaned Neiryn off.
“That’s probably a good idea.” I chuckled as I walked over to her and picked a clump of oatmeal out of her hair.
“Life of a parent,” she said shaking it off. “Do you, uh, mind watching him?”
“Not at all.” My body drifted closer to her without me even realizing it.
She looked up at me with wide eyes. Her feet shuffled back as I continued to move closer to her. Her back hit the refrigerator but she didn’t take her eyes off of mine. I wrapped my hands around the top of the fridge as I leaned down to get into her personal space. Her breath hitched and I smirked. My head ducked and I ran my nose up the side of her neck. Her head tilted back stretching that beautiful column tight. She smelled so good, I wanted to bury myself in her scent every second of every day.
“You trust me?” I whispered into her ear.
Knowing Neiryn was nearby, I knew I wasn’t going to do anything crazy. I was smart enough to get that there were certain things kids didn’t need to see or hear. And while I loved the slight tremble in her body and the tiny bit of uncertainty wafting off of her, I was going to do my best to hold back. Truth be told, I liked seeing her on the edge. I liked throwing her off just the smallest amount.
“I don’t really have much of a choice, do I?” she said after she cleared her throat and was able to regain some of her strength.
“You always have a choice, babe,” I said, nipping at the tender flesh right below her ear.
“This is just…” Her words trailed off as I ran my tongue along her jawline.
I wanted to lick every inch of her. I wanted to bite her, suck her, fucking mark her in any way that I could.
Images of her down on her knees danced in my head, my hands gripping her hair, shoving my cock so far down her throat that tears spilled from those pretty eyes. Then her with her amazing ass in the air, her shoulders pressed to the bed, as I fucked her hard from behind. I could almost feel how tight her pussy would clamp around my cock as she came all over me.
Shit. I had to stop. I was starting to think that being there was the worst idea and maybe I should remove myself from the situation. Only, I knew I was never going to do that. So instead, I was just going to have to reign that shit in and keep a cool head.
“Do you trust me?” I asked again because I wanted to know the answer and I wanted that answer to be yes. A real, honest yes.
I pulled back to look into her eyes.
“Okay,” she whispered breathlessly, her eyes were heavy and I wondered if she had read my damn thoughts.
It wasn’t a definite yes but I felt like I was getting closer to it. She would trust me, one day soon.
My hand moved down and splayed over her chest right above her breasts. Under my palm, I felt her chest rise and fall with short, choppy breaths. Her nipples were hard peaks sticking out under her shirt.
“Go take a shower.” I stepped back, reluctant to let her go but knowing it was for the best.
I joined Neiryn in the living room, where he sat on the floor playing with some toys. His big eyes looked up at me and a huge smile broke across his face.
“Pay,” he said holding out a big, plastic car to me.
And so I played, making all kinds ofvroomnoises. He mimicked me as he tried to ram his car into mine. His laughter was infectious and I found myself laughing along with him.
Not even five minutes later, he decided he was done with the cars. He crawled into my lap and rested his head against my chest. I held him as I moved to sit on the couch. As my head hit the back of the cushions and I let out a long breath. I swear not even seconds later, he was out like a light, his little snores filling the silent as fuck room. My hand rested on his back and I felt my eyes growing heavy. Before I knew it, I was out too.
“Yer just as worthless as yer whore of a mother!”
The bottle flies across the room as soon as I walk in the door. I don’t exactly love school, but anywhere is better than being here.
