Once Kayden leaves the room, heading for his office, I turn to my brother and Liz. They both have stunned looks on their faces. Both of their mouths are hung open. This is going to be a rough talk; I can feel it in my bones.

"So, how have things been these last few weeks while I've been away?" I ask tucking my hair behind my ear. Neither answer right away, so I make my way past them into the kitchen. Grabbing a bottle of ice-cold water, I take a big gulp. Need to cool down, after that kiss, my body is over heated, and I'm sticky once again between my legs.

"Oh no, don't try to act all normal missy. What in the hell was that?" Liz interrupts my thoughts.

Before I can answer her, she continues with, "I mean that kiss made my panties combust." She fans herself. That is when I notice her cheeks are red. Wow, Liz is blushing, I haven't seen her do that since we were in Elementary school, and she had a crush on our fifth-grade teacher.

"But I thought we hated him. He beat the shit out of your brother," She points to Keith who now has a stern look on his face, and his arms are crossed over his chest.

"Then, he forces you to move in with him. Doesn't give you any say in anything. Just tells you to pack up all your stuff and say goodbye to the two people that mean the most to you in this world. Like what the actual fuck!" Ooh, now she's got herself all worked up.

Before answering her, I close the fridge door, and walk right up to her. This close to her I can see the tears welting in her eyes, making me feel horrible. I know neither of them understand because they don't know about our past. I bring her into my arms and give her the tightest hug I can manage.

"It's all okay, I can explain everything." I say into her hair.

Her body shudders with sobs, as I feel tears run down her cheek and landing onto my shoulder. Once she's composed enough, she lifts her head, and quickly wipes away the tears. She doesn't like to show any signs of weakness if she can help it.

"Start talking." She says making me laugh a little. Leave it to Liz to go from pissed off, to crying, and stern all in a matter of minutes.

"Let's go into the living area and get comfortable." They both nod in agreement and follow me to the room. Once there Liz and I sit on the wrap around couch, and Keith takes the chair.

Grabbing Liz's hands, holding them in mine, I look her in the eyes, so she knows just how serious I am. "I promise you he hasn't hurt me at all. He's treated me like a queen. We are in love."

"Bullshit!" Liz and I both jump from Keith's sudden outburst.

"You mean to tell me you are in love with that monster that beat me practically to death?" He's up and pacing the floor now.

His hands are in his hair and he's yanking on his hair so much I'm afraid he may pull some of it out of his head. "I mean when we saw you a couple weeks ago you were terrified of him. You saw me laying on the floor in a puddle of my own blood. And now here you are kissing that monster and who knows what else." He is waving his arms around dramatically.

Taking a deep breath I reach for calm, "There's a lot you don't know, and let's be honest you were laying on the ground beaten and bloody because you gambled away half a million dollars and couldn't pay the money. To the Monroe family none the less. After how many times I have begged and pleaded with you to stop, and to stay away from the Monroe casinos?" I point out.

I know my face is red with the rage that is building in my bones. It's not a good thing when I get over emotional before I got all this power. I can only imagine what could happen now that I have it.
