Chapter 7
"Daniel, I've got a yard full of people out there waiting."
"They'll keep, get back here."
"What, again, what the heck doc you been smoking trees again?"
"It's legal babe."
"I know but, the kids."
"The kids, they've probably been smoking it while it was illegal, I mean your daughter talks a mile a minute without taking a breath and is always smiling, the oldest is two braids away from being a hippie and have you seen your son, half the boy's body tells a story."
"Excuse me, but if I remember correctly, you were the one who said 'let the kids make their own way, let them be happy doing what they like'. "
"I'm not complaining, I'm just saying, our kids are weed heads."
"They are not."
"How did we get off track, bring that sexy ass over here. Aww my little girl still blushes."
"Stop it." He's so bad.
"I'm not sexy anymore, I'm getting old."
"Babe are you serious, I've been looking at your ass for over thirty years and it just keeps getting better, nice tight ass."
My face is on fire.
"Oh what the hell, make it quick."
It's not like I didn't know he likes seconds, my guy has never let me down in over thirty years.
"Ooh wah, ride 'em cowgirl."
He's such a freak.
Half an hour later I was relatively decent with a permanent smile on my face, hopefully no one will know what I'd been up to, except my nosy kids.
I'll just have to avoid them for a little bit.
"Char, when did you get here, why didn't you call me?"
My best friend was coming up the stairs as I was going down, thank God I'd left Daniel in the shower when I did, crazy man.
"Just got here and no one seemed to know where you were, then I noticed your hunka husband was missing and put two and two together, you two still make me sick."
"Jealous bitch."
We kissed cheeks and clasped elbows as we headed back down.
"So, remember I told you about the new receptionist at Lyon's Place and how she met Colton the same day you said he'd meet his wife, well I invited her here today. I have no idea what she looks like but she sounds sweet as pie.
A little young but what the heck, I got married when I was her age.
Now Char, when you meet my new daughter in law not one word about the wedding, you know how these kids are today, jittery about everything."
"Meanwhile you've already got the color scheme picked out eh Elena."
"No, no, that's the girl's right, I will not be my mother in law I will let her have the wedding of Her dreams, but I do have the venue picked out."
Char laughed her ass off.
* * *
"Where are we going in such a hurry?"
"You don't talk until we get out of sight of all these people."
Did he realize that he was more than a foot taller than me, and that his legs ate up more space than my stumps?
Wait a minute, why wasn't I screaming in fear, my heart was beating fast yes, but not with fear only with excitement.
I looked at his forceful arms as he pulled me along behind him, his f*ck awesome hair and that lick of flames that climbed up the side of his neck.
Well damn, a nice pair of silk panties toasted.
I thought we were headed to the house but he pulled me around the side out of sight of the others and pushed me up against the wall.
"What's this?"
Oi, he covered one of my breasts with his hand.
I crossed my legs and started rubbing them together like a cricket.
What! I couldn't help it he was being all masterful and shit.
"What the f*ck Sloan, what are you doing?"
"Nothing." I sounded like a strangled sheep.
What do you expect, I just came on myself and now he's doing that scowling face thing with his eyes glaring at me and oh merciful heavens I'm going to combust.
"Air, air, I need air."
"Babe, seriously, we're outside, how much more air can you possibly need, now stop f*cking around. What, is, this?"
"What's what?"
"The clothes, why the f*ck you been coming to my place looking like Broom Hilda when you're walking around with the body of a f*cking bombshell, you trying to f*ck with my head?"
"No, no, absolutely not...if you could just... your hand."
I pushed my breast harder into his hand, he gave a little squeeze and then let go.
Nooooo.
"Sorry, shit, didn't even realize I was doing that shit."
Well spare me your full attention for the next five minutes before you kill me.
"Now answer me, why the disguise?"
"It's not a disguise per se, I just... I'm not ready to talk about it."
"Talk about what, what's going on?"
"Sir I just said..."
"F*ck it, I warned you."
That's all the warning I got before I was crushed against his chest, feet off the ground and his junk right where it did the most good...for now.
His tongue was in my mouth, those humongous hands of his had a hold of my ass and was kneading. I purred, he growled, I came.
"Eeeeeeeekk."
"F*ck Angel, I can't f*ck you out here, too many people."
"Huh?"
Oh shit, I was riding his ridge right here out in the open for anyone to come along and see, my hands were pulling fistfuls of his hair as I rubbed my heat against him.
Wow, way to break out of your shell Kat.
I climbed down off his pole and tried to fix myself.
I am in so much trouble.
* * *
I've lost my f*cking mind, I know it's happening but I can't do anything to stop it.
"Come." I started leading her around to the back of the house, my old room will do perfectly for what I have in mind.
My dick was about to break the f*ck off it was so hard.
If she wasn't careful she was going to end up bent over somewhere between here and my room, wearing those f*ck me shoes. Shit, I'm going to embarrass myself.
"Hold it."
"Mom, shit."
Are you f*cking kidding me right now, no f*cking way.
"And who is this lovely young lady you're manhandling son."
As if she didn't know, my mind was a little slow since my IQ was about ten and a half right now, yeah, all in the dick, but I'm putting this shit together.
Mom's secret smiles, yeah, sneak, Kat didn't come here with Jared, Jared had a chick on the back of his bike.
So how did she know about the barbecue, of course it was mom and she had her sidekick with her.
"Hello Ch..." I started to say something but the look on her face stopped me cold.
She was looking at Kat with such a look of...sorrow.
I felt my guts tighten as I subconsciously pulled Kat closer to me.
"What?"
I looked back and forth between the two women.
"Elena, we have work to do, excuse us Colton."
She tried taking Kat away from me.
"No way, what did you see?"
Now Kat was under my arm, she wasn't going anywhere, and that look on Char's face was only making me more nervous.
"I'm not sure she's ready to talk to you about it." Char kept her eyes locked on Kat.
"Please..."
Kat started to shake as she finally caught on to what was going on.
The look in her eyes, such fear and hurt, f*ck me no.
Jared said it was bad.
Please don't let it be what I'm thinking, please, I couldn't bear that shit, not her.
I wanted to pull her away somewhere and get to the bottom of it,find out who the f*ck I was gonna have to maim now, but first I had to get her settled down.
"Angel calm down, breathe."
She was starting to hyperventilate, I turned her to me as she crumbled.
Mom and Char looked at a lost as to what to do,I'm sure mom was wondering what was going on, I had a slight suspicion only because of Jared's hints, but I too was lost.
All I know is that she needed me now, everything else will have to wait.
I bent my head to hers as she cried into my chest, I shook my head at mom and Char as they moved to interfere.
They looked like they wanted to argue so I set my face to 'back the f*ck off', mom knew that look so she dragged her friend off.
I picked her light weight up and carried her up the stairs.
Same destination, different purpose.
In my room with all of the teenage paraphernalia, sports trophies, pictures of tattoos, some half naked chick in a bikini, I laid here across my bed and watched as she curled into the fetal position.
Sitting next to her I said and did nothing, let her make the next move.
As she finally quieted down I heard Jared's voice outside the door.
I glanced at her to make sure he hadn't disturbed her and went to open it.
"Elena said Kat was upset, where is she?"
He tried looking around me.
"I've got it."
"But..."
"Jared, I've got it."
He looked up at the hard tone of my voice and stepped down.
"You tell me right f*cking now, did you take care of whoever the f*ck hurt her?"
"Did she tell you..."
"I'm your friend, I'm f*cking asking, did, you, handle, shit?"
"They're in jail, well three of them anyway, one's free."
"Three... tell me what the f*ck happened to her and you tell me right now, was she raped?"
He drew in a deep breath.
"Just tell me that much."
"No she wasn't raped, she was smart, she used her head, but it was still bad."
"How long ago?"
I looked back over my shoulder to make sure she was still okay, right now she just laid there not doing anything, almost as if she'd gone away in her head.
"Six months."
F*ck that's it? no wonder she was still broken up by this shit.
"What about the one that got away, who is he?"
"It's not so much that he got away, he comes from a wealthy family, they used their money to get him off, something about him being on medication that made him do shit.
"You said six months, that means there wasn't a trial yet." Didn't those things take time?
"Yeah, but when it went before the grand jury they indicted three and ruled him incompetent to stand trial."
"I'm going to see about her now, you're going to get me names of all involved, you don't have to tell me anything else, just the names of the f*cks involved, I'll take it from there."
"You and Kat?"
"That's for another time."
I closed the door in his face and went back to the bed.
I didn't ask any questions, just figured out how to unwrap her feet from her shoes, pulled the covers up over her and laid next to her.
"I'm just going to hold you okay, nothing else, if this makes you uncomfortable tell me."
She didn't say anything, just buried her nose in my neck as I cuddled her.
