Safe Haven

14. Coming Clean

Hazard

Fuck. The way my body immediately calmed the minute I saw her had me pissed. I was in no way ready to understand what the hell that was about and I had some questions she needed to answer. We had business to take care of and she knew it. So instead of giving into the insane desire to wrap her in my arms I stood still as a stone. I'd cave if I went to her now. Her red hair laid in a thick braid messy braid and it took everything I had no to grab her by it and pull her to me. Noticing the tension between us, Mom moved passed her and hugged me tight. "Damn it Hazard you ever do that again and I'm liable to beat you! I'm still your mama no matter how old!" I gave her a small smile and kissed her head. "Ma take the kids and ride ahead with Ace. I'll be behind you soon." She nodded her head understanding. "Go easy on her baby," she whispered softly. I couldn't make any promises. I wasn't too thrilled to know I had been playing with the cartels wife unknowingly. Hell it probably wouldn't have changed anything but I still would have liked the knowledge a little sooner. "Nothing happens to them Hazard. I want your word." There was no mistaking the breaking of her voice. I didn't speak just looked her in the eyes. She understood, Melody and Cade would be seen too. They would be safe. She didn't know but she would be too. I watched as she hugged them both to her. Smiling for them even though her nerves still showed. I didn't move once they left. Just waited. The words were there but she'd have to be the one to say them. "So I guess you know." "That your Vega's old lady? Funny you didn't mention that when I had my mouth on you and my fingers in you." I saw the hurt evident in her eyes for a moment, but then my hellcat was back, and she was equally mad. "I don't owe you anything Hazard but let's get one thing straight, I'm not, nor ever have I, belonged to that scum! Any delusions he has is just that a fucking delusion because he's a lunatic!" God that made me happy to hear but I knew there was more to the story. I wasn't done interrogating her yet but seeing her ticked off did something to me. Sick bastard I know. I carefully moved toward her. "So then tell me sweets, just who do you belong to then?"

Haven

I knew what he wanted, apart of me wanted the same, but there was no way in hell I was saying it. I watched as he crept closer towards me. "Go to hell." "Been there a time or two cupcake." I stood completely still, rigid with anger although if I was honest my insides were burning up from a lot more. I watched him in the dingy mirror attached to the hotel wall as he circled me with his body, not touching, just waiting. My body was ready to explode from all the emotions I was feeling. Fear, relief, anger, desire. The last was more than evident through the flimsy white tank top I had on. He caught my gaze in the mirror as he hands traced my body, barely touching me. His voice dropped to a whisper in my ear. "I want it all sweetheart. Every part of you.....and it's way overdue if you ask me." His arms snaked around me and tugged me back against him. I couldn't control the moan I released as I felt his everything pressing hard into my lower back. That one tiny sound was Hazards go ahead.
And go ahead he did.
