“Doesn’t fuckin’ matter. We’re a family and we deal with shit together. And you didn’t even return my calls or texts. If your dad hadn’t called me and told me you and the kids were at his house, I wouldn’t have known where you were.”
“Doesn’t feel so good, does it? You didn’t bother to answer my calls or texts either, and you didn’t have the courtesy to tell me you were crashing at the clubhouse. It’s okay for you to do that, but you don’t like it when I do the same thing to you.”
“I didn’t come home for one night, and I came over the next morning ready to eat crow. You ran off for two days with my kids for fuckin’ spite.”
“I couldn’t stand to see you. I was hurting and so angry.”
“You could’ve left for a while to cool down and left the kids with me.” They stood staring at each other, her body stiff, his neck aching. He leaned back on his boots. “How do you feel about seeing me now?”
She shrugged while glaring at him.
“You know something? Your skin glows when you’re angry.”
She placed two hands on his chest and pushed him away. Grinding his teeth, he put his hand on the small of her back and drew her firmly to him. Tangling his fingers in her hair, he pulled her head back and crushed his mouth against hers. She kissed back, biting his bottom lip hard and drawing blood. The taste of metal in his mouth was like a hot poker to his cock. Her nails clawed at his back and he slammed her against the wall, their kisses wild, erratic, and desperate.
Yanking at the hem of his shirt, she pushed it up and scratched his chest hard, drawing blood. He tugged her T-shirt up and pulled down her bra, grabbing her tits and twisting her nipples. She moaned in pain, but he felt her shiver beneath his touch. With one hand he unzipped his jeans, and her hot fingers curled around his cock. He roughly shoved up her skirt, then ripped off her panties and whirled her around so she faced the wall, bent at the waist, legs spread open. Craning her neck, she caught his gaze, and the intensity of desire brimming in hers made him wild with lust. With one fast movement, his hands smacked down on her sweet, rounded ass, and she groaned and squirmed under the attack. Burying his fingers between her swollen folds, satisfaction coursed through him when her juices covered them. She was dripping wet. Fire roared through his veins.
Primal desire overwhelmed and consumed him, and he slammed into her balls-deep. Cara cried out and then pushed back against him as if her pussy craved his dick to go even deeper. He pummeled into her, loving the way her heat pulsed on his cock, her juices covering him and dripping down his inner thighs. The sound of her wetness mixed with the slapping of his balls with each thrust filled the room, and sweat misted over their bodies.
“How the fuck could you even think I’d cheat on you?” he rasped as he pounded into her. “You’re my everything.”
“How the fuck could you not call me or return my texts?” she answered between pants. “I felt ignored and that hurt a lot. You treated me cruelly.”
“I was so pissed at you. I might have let my anger take over my actions.” Another hard, long thrust.
“Might have?” Her tits swayed with the force of his pounding, and he molded his hand around one of them, loving the weight of it.
“Fuck, babe. I’m gonna explode.” He trailed his finger down to her engorged nub and flicked it as the back of his legs stiffened.
“Oh, Hawk.” Her legs trembled against him and he knew she’d soon shatter into a million pieces.
He shoved his cock in and out a few more times, and then a rush of intense pleasure burst through, his hot seed filling her quivering pussy. He leaned down and covered her back with his chest, his arms wrapped snuggly around her waist to keep her up. She straightened and he walked her to their bed to lie down. They clung to each other, fused together by their raw passion and lust, never wanting to let go. Their breaths were still shallow and fast, and he could feel her heart beating rapidly against his skin.
“You know, I didn’t really believe you cheated on me,” Cara whispered as she placed her leg across his. “It’s just that Doris sounded so smug and satisfied as if she were saying, ‘See, your man is just as bad as all the others.’ It pissed me off, and I took it out on you.”
“Doris likes to make trouble. Banger’s called her on it many times over the years. He’s told Ruben numerous times that he needs to control his woman better.” He felt her bristle under his touch. “Let’s don’t start a discussion about the ‘control his woman’ comment. Okay, babe?” He kissed the top of her head.
“We’ll talk about that another time,” she said.
He laughed. “Being married to a lawyer can be challenging sometimes.”
“What does that mean?”
“It just means you have to always have the last word, and I think’s it’s fuckin’ cute.”
She tilted her head back and her gaze bore into his. “I love you so much. Even when you piss the hell out of me, I love you.”
He dipped his head down and kissed her deeply. “I love you too. When you were gone, a piece of my heart was missing. Fuck, babe, you’re the only one in my life and don’t ever think for one second you’re not. I should’ve called. That shit won’t happen again.” He wanted to tell her that he acted like a damn jerk and he was sorry he worried her, but it wasn’t his style.
“Tomorrow night I’m going out with some of the women for our ladies’ night. You and the kids will be on your own.”
“Sounds good. I’ll see if Banger, Jax, and Chas wanna come over for pizza and beer. The kids can play together, and Isa can hang out with us.”
She chuckled. “I don’t know if I want you guys corrupting her.”
He ruffled her hair. “Fuck. It’s gonna be hard when she gets to be a teenager and guys start wanting to go out with her.”
“I feel so sorry for Isa. You’re going to be impossible.”
“Actually, babe, you should feel sorry for the boys who are gonna want to go out with her.”
“Oh, I’m sure I will. They’re going to be petrified of you.” She giggled.
He chuckled and warmth spread through him as he pressed her closer to him. Everything was good now. He had his sexy wildcat in his arms again and his two kids back home.
He smiled when he heard her breathing deeply, and he pulled the blanket tighter around them. Staring out the window, he watched the ragged edges of stony gray clouds race across the leaden sky as a silvery mist licked at the treetops and neighboring roofs. Ice drops pelted against the window, and he was glad he was inside with the love of his life snug in his arms.
Chapter Nineteen
Sofia
Out of the corner of her eyes, she watched Tigger as he walked warily into the bedroom, carrying a large bouquet of flowers in one hand and a small plastic bag in another. Closing her eyes, she feigned sleep, trying to ignore the sharp pains ripping through her body each time she inhaled. Blood leaked beneath her skin, making red and purple bruises on her pale flesh. There would be no doctors, no evidence, no mention of his cruelty, only a bouquet of flowers and perhaps a CD of her favorite group.
