Socket still bares the guilt from his sister being hurt years ago, he just doesn't seem to be able to get passed it. He wouldn't have joined the Broken Demons if it weren't for what happened, and while Evie now lives a normal life, Socket has yet to...

A/N: Hello Lovelies! 15k views already! Awesome. I'm visiting my husband at my in laws today and as per usual he is whispering at his deaf mother then wonders why she isn't replying. Hope you enjoy xxx
"Fuck I forgot I'm sorry!" Ice yells as he runs after Imelda towards the downstairs bathroom. I chuckle to myself as I close the front door and find Isla in the kitchen
"Hey princess, what we eating?" I ask as I sit down and look at the chicken salad. Bless Ice, he tries so hard. I grab what I'm guessing is Imelda's plate and help myself, she won't eat it, couldn't stand the smell or texture of chicken when she was pregnant with Isla, looks like it's the same this time around.
It's been a few days since the wedding and I haven't heard from Socket, not that I want to have an awkward conversation.
"Better now mommy?" I ask as Imelda wanders back into the kitchen, her face a lovely shade of green. She doesn't speak just lifts one finger at me as she heads to the refrigerator and pulls out a bottle of water. Ice appears with a wash cloth and presses it against her forehead.
"I'm sorry baby, you should've told me." Ice says as she leans against him
"I didn't want to be mean after you went to all that effort to make it." Imelda replies
"Do I get the same treatment when I vomit from your cuteness?" I ask and Imelda laughs
"Is there a reason you've graced us with your presence?" Ice asks
"I need girl talk." I shrug
"Well why don't you girls go out on the deck while I make something different for lunch." Ice says
"I'm stuffed, the salad was good Ice Ice Baby." I smirk as I take the empty plate to the sink and he rolls his eyes. Imelda and I head outside and get comfortable on the deck
"So, what's going on?" She asks
"Socket." I sigh. I fill her in on what the argument we had here was about, that I told him about my arrest and what he said at the wedding other night
"I don't want to cut him out of my life, he's fun, the sex is the best I've ever had, but what do I do?" I sigh
"Damn you asking me while I don't have my pen light. When did the blindness start?" She asks pretending to check my eyes
"I'm not blind, I like him and I want to keep having sex with him but we always end up with drama and fights." I reply
"Well maybe if you stopped resisting a relationship the drama would stop." She shrugs
"But I don't want a relationship, I want a friend I can have sex with." I reply
"Why are you so opposed to relationships? For months I told myself I couldn't be with Isaak and risk hurting Isla. As soon as I stopped resisting and let it happen I was the happiest I've ever been." She explains
"But that's you. I can't have a relationship, I can't let a man into my life and take care of me, I'm too independent. They never work out anyway, I may get what you and Ice have briefly, just enough to fool myself but then it would all crash and burn." I explain.
"Oh man, was I this annoying before I got with Isaak?" She asks and I slap her arm
"You're lucky you're pregnant." I growl and she laughs. I leave Imeldas a few hours later just as confused about what I should do. It would be best if I just cut all ties, we went our separate ways and I didn't have to deal with the drama any more, but I want him around. I try to think as I drive home but I don't know what to do and when I pull up on my driveway the source of all my problems is leaning against his motorcycle in front of me. I don't say anything as I climb out of my car, or as he follows me to my front door.
I don't look back as I enter my house and head for the kitchen, I pull out a beer for Socket and put it on the counter before pouring myself a glass of wine.
"I had no idea what you did for me and my sister." Socket starts
"No big deal, I'd do it for anyone in that situation." I shrug.
"Well its a big deal to me." He replies "I'm sorry for yelling at you, I shouldn't have done that, it just took me by surprise."
"I'm not even mad." I shrug "when we fuck, we forget all our problems and now I'm a big fat reminder because I was there."
"I still want you Natalie." He says as he runs his hands through his hair
"I want you, but to be honest I'm confused." I sigh as I finish my wine
"What is there to be confused about? I want you and you want me." He says as he moves closer to me, I have to tilt my head back to meet his gaze.
"I don't want a relationship because of all the fights and drama, yet even when we just fuck it still comes around." I sigh
"But it's out now, no more surprises, no more drama." He replies as his fingers brush my jawline
"Please Natalie, just try, for me. I care about you and I don't want to lose you." His lips replace his fingers on my jaw and I stifle a moan at the feel of his lips and beard against my skin
"I don't want a relationship Socket." I almost have to remind myself, distracted by his touch.
"This can never be more than friendship Socket, if you can't handle that you should walk away now." I say trying to put some distance between us, but I end up backed up against the counter and he pins me there with his hips.
"A friend who I can fuck whenever I want. I think I can handle that." He smirks before his lips crash into mine. Our tongues move together, touching, tasting as my arms wrap around his shoulders. He lifts me up onto the counter and steps between my knees.
I moan softly into his mouth as his rough fingers graze over my stomach under my shirt. His lips move along my jaw and to my neck as his fingers draw circles over my skin and he grinds his erection against my core. All contact with my body stops and I laugh as his shoulder pushes against my stomach. He lifts me over his shoulder, his arm hooking over the back of my knees as he turns and carries me towards the bedroom. At least I have a good view of his ass from this angle.
