DrewFuck I need this. It's been way too long. Too long since I let all the shit go that's been weighing me down, and enjoyed my wife. How long has it been since I wrapped my fist around her hair? Since I made her moan by shoving my cock just a little too far back into her throat? My eyes meet hers, drifting lower to her mouth. Too fuckin' long, I remind myself. There's a sassy smirk there, one I haven't seen in months."I've missed you, Drew.""Missed you too." I cup her neck in my palm, pushing my fingers up into her hair, tangling through the strands. The stress of the last few months have made it hard for us to get time alone together. I'm not even sure when the last initiation between either of us for sex was, and how fuckin' sad is that? I've got the love of my life in front of me, in my life every damn day, and I can't remember the last time we got naked together. Her smirk turns into a smile. She holds her finger up in front of her, getting off the bed. I stretch my ar
Charity"What's with the grin on your face?"I glance up at Mandy, not able to keep the grin from turning into a wide smile. "Had a great night with my husband." I laugh as she grimaces."Please remember he's my twin brother, and he used to annoy me by telling me that everyone I fuck is someone he fucks too, because of our twin connection." She rolls her eyes. "He thought that would keep me from sleeping with guys in high school. Ha! Joke's on him."I snort, crossing my legs with a slight smirk. "He's always been overprotective of the women in his life. Doesn't matter who they are to him, he's going to be one hundred percent annoying about it."Mandy cuts her eyes to the side, a grin on her face. Leaning forward she brushes her hair behind her ear as she organizes things on her desks. She's almost OCD about it, and as her boss, I can't help but approve."I feel bad for the girls when they start to date."The thought makes me shudder. I reach into my bag, pulling my planne
DrewMy heart thunders in my chest as I try to walk as normally as possible to my bike. Honestly, I want to run to it faster than I ran the length of the football field back in my high school days."You headin' out?" Dalton yells from across the parking lot. "Charity's SUV is dead, I'm going to give it a jump."Not many people in our lives know what this phrase means. We did it on purpose after the attacks. Dalton is one of those people."She call Triple A?"I give him a jerky nod. "Completely dead."He nods, but I can see him swallow, even from where I stand. "I can't help you right now, but I'll call Liam or Tyler and see if they've got anything going on today. You know those two old coots, they look for anything to do these days.""I'd appreciate it."Knowing I have my dad and Tyler coming as backup helps me to calm down slightly. But only slightly. I make the fifteen-minute drive in five, thankful I didn't encounter any of Warren County's finest on my way. Parkin
CharityAfter the morning I had, my nerves are completely shot, yet here I stand in the Heaven Hill clubhouse` helping my mother-in-law prepare dinner."Are you okay?" Denise asks as she gets a good look at me. "Liam told me what happened."For the first time in my life I don't feel comfortable talking in the clubhouse. This is the place I'd come as a teenager when my home life got to be too much. When I found out I was pregnant, this is where I came to tell Drew, and again after the ultrasound, we came straight here. This place is my comfortable, and now it's ruined because someone here isn't the family I always thought they were."No." I shake my head. "I'm not okay, and the shittiest thing about it is I don't feel like we can talk openly about it, obviously. This has always been the place I've come to, Denise."I'm holding back threatening tears. When I became so emotional, I'll never know. Maybe it's age, maybe it's what's happening to us right now. "I know, this is wh
Charity"You going to get your hair done tonight?" I ask Mandy as I catch what time it is. Thirty more minutes and we're out the door."At Christine's? Yes! You know I live for these nights she does especially for us." She points to her ponytail. "Plus I've been living with these roots for long enough.""They're not bad.""They're gray! Pregnancy did a number on my body. I still hate you because not only did you not get many stretchmarks with twins, but you didn't get gray hair.""Yeah but I had horrible heartburn. Remember, I couldn't sleep and I hated Drew for half the pregnancy because I had such heartburn?"Mandy giggles. "He slept over at the house more often than he slept at your apartment because you would get so mad at him.""It was an irrational anger that I couldn't let go." I defend myself. "And those girls came out with a headful of hair, so it is what it is, I guess." I glance at the clock again, seeing only five minutes have passed. "Fuck it, we're closing e
DrewStorm clouds are rolling in across the Kentucky sky. They're dark, ominous, and they've caused us to go ahead and close up shop for the day. Not many cars are even on the road. It's like everyone knows the storm heading our way is going to be a big one. Nobody is ready to leave since it's a given we'll get rained on. No, the group of us are standing in one of the garage bays, watching the swiftly moving sky above us. Across the street, behind and beside Cash's Customs, is a field, corn growing high, the stalks blowing in the wind, this way and that. "Feels electric out here." Dalton folds his arms across his chest. "Already gettin' cooler too. It's been too hot lately, whatever happens is gonna be big.""Yeah," I agree. "I texted Charity about an hour ago and told her to either stay at the office or come home, but decide which one it was going to be, and stay. She texted me that all the girls have convened on her office.""Even Harper?" Remy asks, as he walks up to us.
DrewThe rain is pouring in sheets in front of the tow truck. Even though it's a heavy vehicle, it's still hard to keep it on the road. I'm white-knuckling it as we pull around the downtown square. Construction that's been abandoned since the storm came upon us moves the other drivers braving the elements to one lane. "Fucking go!" I beep the horn, causing the person in front of me to double-tap their brakes. "Double-tap all you want motherfucker!" I yell, though they can't hear me over the sound of the water beating around us."Calm down." Jagger speaks as softly as he can. "They don't know what's happening and they're just trying to make it to wherever they're going.""I know!" I glare at him, growling when we have to stop for a red light. "I know," I say again, this time calmer, but only barely. "You don't understand.""The fuck I don't." He grabs a cigarette out of the box he carries in his jeans. "Do you not remember what happened with B and that damn principal? Took ye
Charity"Is Daddy okay?" Harley whispers as we get ready for bed later on that night. It's been pretty quiet around our house since we got home, and I can understand why Harley's scared to speak any louder than what she is. Drew is… God I don't know what he is right now. It's hard to tell what the hell he's thinking, and that's the scariest part. He seems to be one part shocked, another part pissed."Daddy had a rough day," I answer as I brush her hair."Grandma said we should be good tonight," Justice speaks just as low as her sister did."Grandma was right, but that doesn't mean you have to be completely silent. Just because adults have rough days doesn't mean we're mad or upset with you." I stress this because I don't want them to think the shit we're going through is because of them.As a kid growing up, I didn't know what was going on with my mom, ever. All I knew was that we kept getting kicked out of places we lived, and I had to keep finding new friends. It wasn't
