RavenI wake alone, but don't get out of bed. Staying laid down I consider everything. I don't know what was wrong with me yesterday. I want to put it down to being pregnant, but I know that's wrong. I shouldn't have felt alone but I did, despite them being right there."Good morning beautiful." I smile hearing Emmett and watch as he climbs on the bed, kissing me he places the tray down. His mouth presses a gentle kiss on my stomach. "Morning little one." I stare at him and laugh."Food, talk, then you get ready for today." He grins and sits back and I watch Grayson and Ashton walk in and sit down."Fine with me.""Okay, first you have the doctor today. Just to check on you." Grayson states and I nod."That's good as I need the implant removing." He nods and glances around."Raven, today is your mothers funeral." Ashton looks at me. "It is your choice what you do, it's at eleven," Ashton explains."We will be with you regardless Raven. If you want to go we will be there for you." Gray
GraysonI disagreed with her going alone. This isn't like she is going to see Ava, it's her mother's funeral. Yet the tone of Ashton's voice reminded me that I asked them to warn me.So I took it and left, even if I didn't think it was right for her to go alone. Part of me wants to leave and go there, but the thought of our mother beating me stops me. I know she is right, I ignored her warnings and made things worse. I honestly thought unpacking would be a good thing. Clearly, I was wrong."Hey." Turning I look at Emmett. "Big bear is here." I forgot about that."Deal with Emmett.""No, we deal with it. Don't go back to the person who gives orders Grayson or I will walk out and ignore everything you say." He stands looking annoyed."Fine." Standing I walk out, stopping I sit down and look at him."You said you wanted me to bring things here Grayson." He looks at me worried."It's fine, just not a good day that's all. Hand it here." I watch as he holds out the papers, glancing through
RavenI watch Grayson walk away, Emmett kisses me and leaves. I stand and look at Ashton, I can see it, that look is back. I didn't even think, I should have thought. Walking to him I wrap my arms around his neck. "I'm sorry.""It's fine, cutie pie. Did you eat at all today?" He looks at me and I shake my head."Just breakfast." He pulls me into the kitchen and together we cook. I feel awful, I didn't even think. I just wanted to do it alone, and I knew Grayson wouldn't let me. Not that I can blame him, with how crazy I have been lately. After eating I pull Ashton to my room.Stripping, I walk to the bed and he stops me."Shower, you smell of smoke." Kissing me he turns me to the bathroom."Join me?" He stands debating it. "I've been alone all day Ashton." I watch him stand and walk to me, before pulling me into the shower. My head rests against his chest as the water flows over us."I won't ever leave Ashton." I peer up at him. "I promise, I will never leave you." His arms tighten ar
RavenWaking, I am still in Ashton’s arms, my eyes notice the box next to the bed and I smile.“Morning Cutie pie.” His hand grips my ass.“Happy birthday.” He freezes. “You failed at hiding it, they told me.” I smile at him.“Wasn’t trying to hide it.” I laugh at his words. Moving, I roll over so I’m straddling him. “Although, I’m already loving this birthday.” His eyes go to my chest, and he grips my hips. Leaning over I pick up the box and feel his teeth biting my nipple.“Stop!” Laughing I pull back.“Well don’t shove them in my face then!” He laughs.“I’m getting something, tell your mouth to behave.” Leaning over I grab the box his hands grasping my breasts.“You said nothing about hands behaving.”Laughing I nod and kiss him. His hands slide across my back before grabbing my ass.“You’re an ass kind of guy, right?” He seems obsessed with it. He nods laughing. “Well, happy birthday.” I hold out the box and he looks at it suspiciously.“I’m weird, and don’t do normal. So I though
RavenI fall back onto Ashton hearing him laugh.“Don’t be a dick.” My words are quiet.“I can give you one if you wish?” Groaning my head shakes. “We warned you, Grayson hates being woken up.” He laughs and sits up carrying me to shower he holds me against him.“You’re all mean.” He laughs and looks at me.“Why Cutie pie? If I agree, I will make it up to you.” He looks at me waiting.“Well, I didn’t do anything wrong.” He looks at me amused. “Okay, I wanted to taunt and play and none of you saved me from the other.”“Why would I save you from them when you taunted me as well?” He looks at me amused.“Fine, Grayson cheated, I knew he had limited time and couldn’t go to the room. I never expected that though.” My head rests against him.“Don’t you like squirting?” I nod my head and he laughs. “Then why are you complaining as of yet there hasn’t been a complaint Cutie Pie.”“I feel like I lost, I don’t know what, but I feel like I lost.” He nods and pulls me closer.“You won, we fucked
RavenI can't believe I am eight months pregnant. For a while, I worked at the club, and it felt amazing. Slowly, I noticed Grayson talking to some of the guys there. He did what I did, ran and hid, so me opening the club and hiring those dancers that Ruth used meant Grayson couldn't hide anymore. I sat and watched him talk to them, something he admitted he didn't do after he left.Many are grateful for the escape from Ruth. Over the months working I learnt a lot from the men. Ruth didn't just use them and lure them in as children. She continued it in their adulthood as well.They had told her their deepest darkest secrets and she held it over them. So it was nice to see them finally free of that, I expected most to refuse the job, but many of them do enjoy it and are grateful to have a safe place to dance.It's been crazy, Grayson struggled to give me space, more through fear, but the city has learnt women are not weaknesses. Hawk and Doc I guess helped there, everyone knows that it
RavenI wake up hearing a bang and shouting. My eyes adjust to the darkness."All of them! Every fucking one is dead tonight." I stand hearing Grayson. Walking out, I see him going through his cupboard and grabbing guns."Grayson?""Go to bed Doll."My head shakes, why is he covered in blood?"I will burn it down with them in, I swear." He has the phone to his ear. Something happened."Go to bed." He shouts looking at me, and I glance around, looking towards the living room I see Emmett pacing. His eyes meet mine and I walk to him, his hands stopping me."What happened?""Nothing to concern yourself with tonight, go to bed." He kisses my cheek."No!" I glance down seeing the blood. "Emmett!""Now! If you get in my way, you’re starting the war." I turn hearing Grayson shout and walk out of his room, Emmett chasing after him."Grayson, think.""Fuck thinking, stay with him, Emmett." I watch him walk out and Emmett chasing him while telling him to stop. Turning I walk into the living and
RavenI face Aileen, my fingers tapping on the arm of the chair."I assumed it would be the brothers coming." She doesn't falter but I can see the worry in her eyes."Things changed. Just because they do not like hurting women, and look at creative ways to ensure rules are followed does not mean they are weak and can be ignored." I stop for a moment. "Me however, I have no issues with hurting women, and considering you ignored them, and mocked their attempts to solve the issue I figured I would help."I don't like her. Not just because she uses the fact they won't hurt her as a way to get away with shit, but she in general isn't a nice woman."So you plan to hurt me and get me to agree?" She laughs and sits back."I plan to see if you will listen, then go from there. They have tried Aileen, but your attitude has become worse. This is the fourth month of no payment."She sits quietly and I watch her, not moving. I know she expected me to come in with people, but I didn't. If I did she
