The barbecue was in full swing; my girl had done a great job if I do say so myself even though I'd been kicked out of my house early this morning and sent on errands while her and the sisters did their thing. Seems she'd been taking lessons from mom; send the guys on errands to keep them from underfoot. Of course I roped in Jared and some of the others to help out, dad was a lost cause on the weekend so I didn't even bother. Kat had spent the better part of the night before marinating shit and making sauces and side dishes. It had looked like a crap load of shit for one person to do but she swore she was having fun so I stopped stressing it. Around eleven o'clock at night I tried dragging her off to bed to fuck but she wasn't having it; said she had a lot more to do before the morning. By the third try I gave up on trying to entice her to the bedroom and just nailed her right there in the kitchen. She bitched and moaned about hygiene but what the fuck, she knows I need my night
By the next morning things were back to normal. The party had broken up around midnight, kids had school the next day people had work and shit like that. Kat's first foray into the sisterhood had been a big hit; she was proud as fuck and so was I. My woman could handle her shit and it was good that I won't have to rely on mom for those kinds of things in the future. I sound like a domesticated fuck."Babe get the lead out we've got work.""I can't I'm calling out sick." She buried herself under the covers. I felt her forehead and there was no fever. I checked her over, nothing; she looked like she usually did every morning; bed rumpled and fuck hot. I smacked her on the ass to get her moving."Ouch that's just mean, besides, I am too sick I think you broke me last night or this morning or whenever.""I wasn't the one doing Acrobatics babe. I think that last wine cooler you had loosened you up a little I have the sprained dick to prove it.""Humph, can't I just have ten minutes m
"Colt, thank you for this, this is... I don't know what to say.""It was your girls Cy, I had nothing to do with it; it was all mom and Kat.""This is too much and that headstone, you can't tell me that thing is only worth two grand." As a matter of fact it was worth fifteen but he didn't need to know that."Didn't the guy tell you they were having some kind of crazy sale?" He gave me a look like he knew I was full of shit, which I pretended not to notice as I looked around at the people who had travelled with us. There had to be a good sixty or seventy people here. The ones who stayed back were watching the kids or the business but everyone had pitched in in some way or the other. Mom and Kat had come up with the idea of a small service, which had just ended and now we were having a picnic under the tree that Cy had chosen to shade his wife.I'd made arrangements to have the grave tended bi weekly and her favorite lilies placed every Sunday. I'd at least let Cy have a piece of
Wedding plans are coming along just fine; Colton thinks I don't know he pulled a fast one with the planner to get out of doing anything but we've always known that's the way it would go; I won that bet beating Elena out by a nose. I won't tell him that his boys were in on that action though. I've been floating around here for the past few weeks in total heaven; I'm in love with my ring it's the most flawless thing I've ever seen in my life.The cut is called empress or something like that I looked it up; I know it's about ten carats but I have no idea neither do I want to know how much it cost. He'd had the words Lyon's Angel forever inscribed inside; how sweet is my guy huh?Mom has been singing a different tune lately as well, now she's Colton's biggest ally. Dad's smile is a little less strained these days also. As for Colton's family, well let's just say they've all been exceptional, even Daniel who is a complete riot when he's high. I've hardly been out without Colt since th
My phone was going crazy. I wonder what the hell the guys could be having problems with now that they all needed to be calling me at the same time."Hold on a minute Dennis I think I should answer this but get your guys started loading that stuff in the meantime.""Sure Colt." He whistled for his guys to get a move on while I answered the phone. "Jared what the fuck?""Get back here Colt someone took Kat.""The fuck you say?" I heard bees buzzing, that's the only thing that registered in my head; why the fuck was I hearing bees buzzing? Then I realized it was my mind and not actual bees. I don't remember walking to my truck and getting in, I just heard Dennis calling after me and someone cursing as I pulled out at high-speed. There was shit falling off the back of my truck but I could give a fuck.I made it back in record time. My whole crew was standing around outside ready for battle. I jumped from the truck and composed myself before I did or said something regretful; it was
Who would've thought that sneaking out to get a sandwich could cause this much trouble? Colton is gonna be so pissed when he gets back to the office and finds me gone, I'll probably never hear the end of this. I have no doubt that he'll come and get me, you see that's one of the things he always promises whenever I have one of my flashbacks or I wake up screaming, clutched in a nightmare from the night of the attack. He'd wrap me up tight in his arms and in his gruff no nonsense voice he'd swear that he'd always find me no matter what.We were stopped and my heart picked up speed again, with my hands tied behind my back as they were there wasn't much I could do, I'd spent the mad drive to wherever this was fighting to hold on and not give in to the need to escape in my head. All the things Colt and been teaching me in the last few months played through my head over and over as I tried to stay calm. It wasn't easy."Where are we, why did you bring me here?""I told you to shut th
Oh please, please, please. Is it strange that all I could think of in that moment was what would Colton do if I was raped? The thought made me want to curl into a ball and die. I didn't breathe easy again until he took his hand away.James left the room, I could hear him talking but wasn't sure if he'd called someone or if he'd completely lost it and was arguing with himself. I tried tugging at my restraints but he must've been a boy scout because there was no give. He'd stuffed a gag in my mouth before he'd left which wasn't the most comfortable thing. It made it harder to breathe for one and lying on your back with something stuffed into your mouth felt like you would choke on your own saliva.Think Kat, think, think, I couldn't seem to hold a thought my mind ran in a million different directions at once. I thought of my mom, my dad; all my new friends here and Colt's family. Mostly I thought of Colt and my heart hurt at the thought of never seeing him again. It just wasn't fai
I took her home and checked her over from head to toe making sure that she really was okay. The reality that she was safe and unharmed was now kicking in but I was still pissed way the fuck off; this shit can never happen again that's it. Whatever I have to do I will do to make sure she was never in danger again in her fucking life."Stay there." I left her on the bed with a swift kiss and a run of my finger down her soft cheek. I had to call Cyrus and let him know she was safe. I wasn't going to tell him too much but I'm sure when the news hit he'd put two and two together, I wasn't too worried about it. Her father, now that was a different story, he was the law after all.I made a few calls, first to Cy to tell him and to caution him not to share what had happened with anyone not even my parents. I understood I was probably putting him in a tight spot, he'd grown close to my dad and hers after all, and the three men spent at least three nights a week together hanging out. Not to me
