Page 19 of Carver's Obsession

“Yeah, Babe.” He pressed a hard kiss to her mouth, turned, and went back out the door.

He was startled to hear himself whistle. He couldn’t remember the last time he had, and it hadn’t been around other people.

Carver started to take apart his motor and fix the rattle he heard. All the while he worked, his thoughts went from being happy because of Erica, but he also had doubts starting to build.

What would happen if she found out about his childhood? Fuck, why did it always come back to his childhood? He knew it fucked him up, but he thought he was able to move on.

He’d see what the next few weeks were like. He didn’t want to miss this chance with Erica and live to regret it. He’d also talk to Striker and Feral. They hadn’t had the best childhoods but overcame them and moved on.

“Hey, Carver. Striker needs us to go to the warehouse for some things,” Chains said.

Carver nodded, stood, and grabbed a rag to clean his hands.

“We’re taking the truck,” Chains said as he stepped up next to him.

“Who else is going?” Carver asked.

“Snake and Iron, I think.”

Carver got into the passenger seat, and Chains was behind the wheel. The other two rode behind them on their bikes.

The ride there was quiet, giving him more time to think, which wasn’t usually good. He found it only caused him problems in the past.

He wasn’t going to overthink it, but he definitely had questions for his brothers.

Chapter Eleven

Erica went to her room and showered. One glance at the bed made her yearn for more rest, but she had all the time in the world for that. She didn’t want to miss anything downstairs.

The first thing she saw when walking down the stairs was two men going at one slut. One in her mouth and the other in her ass. Erica couldn’t tell if the woman was enjoying it or was really good at pretending. She wasn’t sure she’d be able to get to the point of ignoring it. At that moment, she turned away and walked into the kitchen.

No one was there, so she turned and walked to the room the old ladies called their own. She was several feet away when she heard Willow and Meg arguing. She couldn’t help the smile that bloomed on her face. She saw Alicia first and had to bite her tongue when the woman rolled her eyes.

“Hey,” she said.

Willow and Meg stopped long enough to say hi, and then they were right back at it.

Kristina snorted and then patted the seat next to her on the sofa.

“What are you guys up to?”

“We were watching a movie, but then these two started bickering,” Alicia said.

“Bite me, Alicia,” Willow yelled.

Alicia grinned. “I’d love to.”

Erica sputtered and laughed.

“Let’s try to finish the movie.” Kristina turned to Erica. “You need to meet Emily and Charlie. They’re two more young ladies in the family. We’ll start dinner, and if you can, we plan on playing poker later.”

Erica smiled. She looked forward to seeing her sister, meeting the other two women, and learning poker. “That’s great. I’m excited.”

For the next hour, the women watched a movie. It was just about over when the others strolled in.

Jana went to Erica and hugged her.

“I missed you,” Jana said.
