Carter's POV:



The shaking got harder waking me up. I groaned from the pounding inside my head. "Morning." She giggled. "My head is killing me." I said 

She laughed. "I bet it is."

"Why are you laughing? What did you do?" I asked.

"Well.." She held out. "I may have hit you in the head with a lamp." She said. 

"Why?!" I asked. 

"Well because you were getting all heated with Grimm and your eyes were pitch black—" She said. 

"So you hit me with a lamp?!" I asked. 

"I wasn't done. I hit you because after I took you upstairs to soothe you down I accidentally turned you on. " She said. 

That made me chuckle, "Of course. " I said. 

She laughed, "And well, I totally forgive you for this. But, you pinned me to the wall and then threw me on the bed straddling me until I was forced to hit you on the head." She said. 

"What?! Really?" I acted like I didn't remember the whole thing, but I did. It's pretty hard to forget.

"Yeah." I pretty much zoned out after she started talking again. I was thinking of her amazing body on top of mine.

"Carter!" She shouted making me jump.

"What?" I bet I looked completely lost.

"Did you even hear a thing I said?" She asked. 

"Uh, yes?" It came out more as a question.

She sighed in frustration and ran a finger through her hair, "I'm going to go take a shower." She said. 

Before she walked out I grabbed her wrist pulling her to me. Her legs were around my waist and I kissed her. "Okay, tell me again what happened." I said. 

She sighed but smiled.

"Okay, After I knocked you out. Sorry by the way." She said. 

"I completely understand. I would do the same thing." I said though I know  I wouldn't.

"I was changing into my pajamas and Grimm walked in." She said. 

The mention of his name made my blood boil. "And?" I gritted my teeth together.

"And he kinda sorta force made-out with me. By force I mean pinning me to where I can't move my arms. But fortunately I had my legs and I kicked him right in the dick. " She said. 

I winced, "Ouch. But good girl, he deserves it." I kissed her lips softly then pulled away slowly. "What you need is a nice hot bubble bath. You go through too much shit I swear." I said. 

She jumped up and giggled dragging me to the master bathroom.


The bathtub was just the right size. I slipped in and she slipped in after me. Her back against my chest we had the lights off and candles lit. "Baby," I cooed in her ear. "You know how much I love you, right?" I began massaging her shoulders. She nodded in response. She looked so relaxed but felt so tense. I knew what she thought I was going to ask, but I wanted to praise her since what I did last time I lost her. "Tomorrow could we, you know?"

She looked at me dead in the eye, "Babe, you know I'm not ready I just want a steady relationship." She said. 

"Well damn, I just wanted a new video game." I said chuckling.

"What?" She asked. 

"I was going to ask if you could take me to game stop but looks like you aren't ready for that big step yet. I can wait. " I laughed. 

She punched my arm with a blow I didn't expect. It actually hurt, "Don't ever scare me like that again." She said. 

I kissed her neck and slid my hand down her tummy right above her area, "Oh, I'm sorry baby. How could I ever make it up to you?" I asked. 

"C-Carter." She warned as my hand slipped down.

"Yes baby?" My lips skimming her neck.

"Please." She begged. 

My hands slid further and I slipped one finger inside, "Please what babe?" I kissed her neck slowly.

"Please," She moaned as my fingers went faster.

"Tell me what you want, baby."

"P-please Carter I wan't you to -" She stopped talking and moaned again exploding on my hand. Her unraveling herself like that was the hottest thing I've ever seen. Until she whispered the word she was supposed to finish the sentence with, "Stop. Carter, I wanted you to stop." She said. 

I honestly felt so bad with myself I apologized at least 50 times already.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to I was just in that moment and you just.." I said again as she got out the bathtub.

She looked back at me and our eyes locked. Her eyes looked of sadness and she looked lost. She shook her head and walked out the bathroom after grabbing a towel off the rack.

I put my head in my hands, How could I be such a fuck up?


I drove home after I got out the bathtub. She seemed occupied so I didn't feel like bothering her. I haven't been home in a while .


I got out the car and walked through the doors of my pack house. All the playing stopped and all the talking subsided as they looked at me.

"Bubba!" The familiar voice came closer and I caught her just in time. She hugged me so tight I thought I couldn't breath.

"Hey munchkin. " I said. 

She smiled, "I missed you and guess what?!" She said excitedly. 

"What?" I asked. 

"I lost a tooth!" She exclaimed. 

"Really let me see." I said. 

She showed me and I made a disgusted face. "Ew!" 

She giggled and went on about how it happened .

"Hey Alaska, could I get some alone time with Carter please?" An all too familiar voice stood out beside me. Her hand sliding up and down my back. I wanted her off of me, but I like the way it felt. Her hands on me.

Tanya nodded and ran off somewhere in the crowd.

"Yes?" I turned to look at her. She looked different now. Her hair was longer and she got a little taller, but it might have been the heels.

"Hey, long time no see. " She smiled at me.

I chuckled at her blondness, "That was the point."

I pushed by her and began walking.

"Wait!" She yelled but I justr walked faster. "We need to talk!"

"No! We don't!"

She grabbed onto my wrist and pulled me into an empty closet.

"Why can't you just leave me the fuck alone Reina? "

"Don't be such an ass Carter, I find it attractive. " She winked at me and bit her lip.

"Could you like, stop?"

"But I thought you liked me? " She asked rubbing her hands down my body. The first thought in my head was Hood and that look on her face everytime I let her down. I grabbed her wrist and threw them at her side then pointed from me to her, "This will never happen again. You're right I liked you. Key word, liked. I don't anymore. I love my girlfriend. Sorry, but not so sorry." I opened the door after that and walked away.

"You'll be sorry Carter! Just watch!" She yelled after me.

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes and left. She was too much bullshit to deal with tonight.
