He closes his eyes and turns his head, just as I continue, “Yeah, turn your head, asshole. We agreed that the name would never cross our lips in front of the woman that has our hearts, and you have to open your nasty ass mouth and use it not even an hour of being in the house. What are you going to do to fix it?”

“I lost my temper when she told me to sleep somewhere else,” he mumbles.

“We give her time to cool down and then approach her together. Think with your goddamn head for once. Fuck Eagle, did you not see her face when she left. In order to get back in her good books, we are going to have to build a bridge. Are you ready to build the bridge or are you just going to jump ship?” I ask.

I truthfully don’t care what he says. I won’t be letting her go. I decided that it’s best if I just walk away from him. I stand up and stare at him, then walk into the bedroom. I am going to get Amelia back with whatever it takes.

By the time I have showered and argued with myself I am ready and heading for the door, but I am stopped when Lucas says, “I’ll meet you there, please get her talking to you I have something that would make her talk to me.” I nod and walk to my bike.

“Please, baby, talk to me. I never said anything. We had just enough time to get home and put on our shorts and grab a beer. I thought you were sleeping. It looked like it when I checked on you,” I plead with Amelia to talk to me.

“You, you, you checked on me?” she whispers and wipes her eyes.

Her face is red and blotchy, and her eyes are swollen from crying. Her dad has to leave us alone to actually talk, and now and then he growls when I try to get near her to give her a hug, this time though when I wrap my arms around her finally and her dad tries, I stare at him. At this point, I don’t care because this woman is my life, with or without Lucas at our side. “Fire, you are mine baby girl, your heart is in my hand, your soul is mine to guard and your love is mine to cherish,” I state, and then I hear the load roar of a motorcycle drive in. Lucas jumps off his bike with a single red rose in his mouth and a huge stuffed donkey wearing a shirt that say ‘please forgive the ass’.

“You’re my one and only love. Your heart sets my soul on fire, your kisses make me explode with desire. Please forgive me and let me show you what it’s like to be my heart. We are in a romance, a love that shows the world we are strong when I feel weak. We can fight with each other, but our souls will always forgive each other. Please, my Fire, let me say sorry for being an insensitive ass.” He states and slowly approaches Amelia on his knees.

“You hurt me, Lucas Marten. You made me feel like I am nothing to you.” She whispers with her head in my neck and her arms tightened. Then he does something that completely throws me and makes my body stiffen.

“Mr. Mackenzie, can you please come down from the deck and take the punches you are dying to throw. This is not Drills’ fault, so please, I will take anything you have to dish out,” Lucas states, looking over my shoulder into his eyes.

He walks down the stairs and heads for Lucas when Amelia states, “Don’t Daddy, this is my fight.” Then she jumps off my lap and slowly walks down the stairs. The way her ass is moving has my eyes glued to her perfect ass.

She reaches Lucas and steps right up in his face, swings back her hand and moves it forward quickly, but stops just at his cheek and places her hand on his cheek gently. His eyes open and you can see the desire and the pleading in them.

“I forgive you, Lucas, but it will be hard for me to forget how easily that name slipped out of your mouth. We need to make this relationship stable and right now, the only way to prove that to me is with time. I will always love you, but I need to feel safe again, and that name that you just throw around like its rice at a wedding is the one thing that makes my body crumble,” She says and places a gentle kiss on his lips then whispers, “I love you, more than you will ever know, but you hurt me.”

He reaches out and wraps his arms around her waist, and drags her to his body. He buries his head in her neck, and you can see his body start to shake. I don’t know what he says, but she nods her head and finally wraps her arms around him.

This is my family so in order to make my family whole I walk up behind Amelia and wrap my arms around them, then I whisper so that only they hear, “Eagle, you ever hurt her again and I will feed you to the birds like an old lady at the park.”

Epilogue

Amelia

Two Years Later…

How times have changed. “Okay, so they still never caught the chick that had me raped multiple times, but still,” I state and take a sip of my coffee while I watch my niece and my nephew run around our backyard.

“Girl how the heck did you deal with that psychobabble bitch?” Vaps ask and it makes the group of girls’ giggles.

“Veronica, she almost made me lose those two. Notice that no one says her name anymore? They were tired of being hit because Eagles and Drills took it to the extreme.” I chuckled.

I see Rosey come stomping up to the kids and say something to them. I watch as their faces fall, and they drop their heads.

“Excuse me for a second, ladies.” I whisper and jump up, heading towards Rosey.

“Hey sissy, what’s shaking?” I ask as I slide my arms around her waist.

“Nothing, we just aren’t wanted here anymore,” she growls.

“Yes, you are. You are my sister and will always be accepted here. What the hell is going on?” I state and then my question gets answered when some bar slut yells.

“I told you, bitch, he was mine. Nobody wants your old ass mom body, anyway. Nets here likes young pussy.” And then she plants kisses on his lips, his eyes are on Rosey and when I turn around to say something, I see that she has made it to her car and the kids are being buckled in, her shoulders are shaking, and I know for a fact that she is holding everything in.

Turning on my heels and heading towards Nets and his new slut, I am stopped by an arm around my waist and a whispered,

“Leave it be Fire.”
