“Doing alright,” I admit, “she was in her head when I came to find her, so I thought it was best to stay in the room before she got bombarded with a lot of questions.”
“I understand, so do the brothers, the women though, they’re worried about her,” Blade says quietly, and I sigh.
“Let me guess, Ivy?” I confirm, and he hums and replies, “Yep, she kicked up a stink, a fucking big one at that, to the point Psycho finally snapped at her, reminding her that her friend needed some time to herself with her new husband.”
“Fuck, I bet she loved that,” I mutter.
I love my sister, I really do, everyone does to be fair. But we knew she had some growing and maturing to do. She kept Clara’s stupid ass plan from Psycho, along with the fact that she was pregnant with his baby and expected him to read her mind and come save her. Don’t even get me started on her refusing to tell Psycho about her feelings growing up. He had to read her mind, again, and fight for her when she knew he thought her dreams were to leave Rose Meadow and he was trying to put her first.
“She can see Raya when Raya is ready,” I mutter, and he hums again, but this time in agreement before he says, “I called not just to make sure she was alright but also to see if you wanted to put a hold on the run with the Carnage MC or see if a brother can take your place?”
I look down at my girl to see her eyes already on me and smile at her, not surprised she woke up. I continue to run my fingers up and down her back, showing here the scars don’t bother me. I reply, “Actually, brother, I was wondering if I could get the club's agreement for Raya to go on the run with me on the back of my bike.”
Raya’s eyes widen as she sits up a little, her breasts still snug against my chest, breasts that I really want to suck on right now, and Blade chuckles.
“I thought you may say something like that,” he admits, “and no need for a club vote, you want your wife with you, then take her, maybe some time away will do some good. She has time off at the station, right?”
“She does,” I say, “Tom gave her the month off after saving Huddy, and school is still out. It’ll also do us good, especially with Angel still trying to claim she’s pregnant.”
“Okay, then take her,” he says, and I grin wide while Raya looks at me with awe, and he says, “And don’t worry about Angel, her time is coming up at the strip club, Viper, and I have come up with a plan for after the run. Now, I’ll leave you two to it and keep the women away until you both get back.”
“Thanks, brother,” I mumble as I gently trace Raya's lips with the tip of my finger, then hang up before putting my phone back on the nightstand without taking my eyes off my beautiful wife.
“I thought women were forbidden to go on club runs,” she whispers, and I hum and admit, “They are, but no other brother can do what I do, Uncle Cannon is away for the week, and I really can’t put the run on hold again,” I frown, “Though you do have a therapy session…”
Shit, maybe I should call Blade back and rearrange the run. I mean, it isn’t like the Carnage MC needs the ammo ASAP.
“I can do a remote call,” Raya says, “I won’t miss the session, and this way,” she clears her throat, “maybe this way you can be a part of it and hear everything I’ve been too scared to say.”
Fuck, this girl…
I move slightly and pull Raya up my body, making her gasp, before I guide her to straddle me, lining myself up at her entrance and pull her down, my cock bottoming out, making her tense, before she relaxes when I gently pull her body against my chest.
That’s fucking better.
“You sure?” I ask, knowing how hard therapy is going for her, and she’s only been twice, and she nods and admits, “I’m sure, I think having you around for the call will do me some good,” she twitches her nose, “I’ve been feeling lost, Cale.”
Fuck, the sadness in her eyes kills me.
“I know, kitten, and it is all understandable. For ten years, you’ve only had one goal, and now that goal is completed. You need to try and continue on with your life with me by your side, and I will help you, I promise.”
She nods before she leans down, putting her head on my shoulder as her lips gently caress my neck, where her name is, sending shivers down my spine and my cock twitches inside her before she asks, “What’s happening with Angel?”
“Didn’t miss that, huh?” I confirm as I wrap my arms around her again, she snorts before admitting, “To be honest, I kind of forgot about her.”
I sigh as I run my fingers through her hair, my hand on her back still gently moving up and down, and I confess, “She sent me an ultrasound photo when you were missing.”
Raya tenses, and I quickly hold her tightly before she can move herself, and I admit, “I logged into the hospital database, she isn’t pregnant, kitten, they confirmed it, and confirmed she never was, despite her claims. I didn’t get her pregnant, kitten.”
“It’s not that,” she says, “hementioned that he slept with her bare to get her pregnant so you’d make her your woman.”
I snort, “How exactly would that work? I slept with her months ago, and even then, I softened. I didn’t come.”
“That is way too much information, Cale!” Raya snaps, and I grin before I move my head and caress my lips against her forehead and murmur, “Sorry, kitten…” And she huffs, her breath fanning my skin, making goosebumps appear. I try not to smirk at her jealousy,
It’s a reaction I never knew I would like.
“When did you first realize you loved me?” Raya asks a few minutes later as she traces her name on my skin, and I smile softly.
