‘You owe me and I’m going to get everything from you’
I sucked in a breath and stared down at the number in shock. “Fuck this,” I whispered, and hit the block button. “I’m done with that. I should have blocked it sooner.”
“No, what you should have done was tell me sooner.”
“It’s not that big of a deal,” I lied, and Law glowered.
“The fuck it isn’t. Someone’s sending you fucked messages and you don’t think it’s a big deal? What the hell is wrong with you?”
I jerked back as if I had been slapped. “Nothing is wrong with me. This is just not as big of a deal as you’re making it out to be.”
“You don’t think some creep texting you they’re going to take everything from you isn’t a big deal? You wanna tell me why you’re playing this off?”
I bit my lip and looked away. “Because I don’t want anything to ruin this.”
“Ruin what?”
“This,” I said, throwing an arm out between us. “Us. I don’t want you to think I’m too much, or my life is just, I don’t know shit and you get tired of it and go.”
“Honey.” Law moved towards me, arms circling my waist and he pulled me close. “Princess, that’s not going to happen. You didn’t ask for this bullshit. Why would you think I’d leave?”
Because everyone leaves.
I didn’t say it, but the words were loud as anything in my brain. I shook my head. “I don’t know.”
“You have to tell me what’s going on. We’re together.” He moved, hand going into my hair and he tilted my head back to look at him. “I’m yours.”
My breath caught at the yours. The soft side of Law once more coming out and making me weak kneed. “And I’m yours.”
I leaned into his touch, arms going around his waist, face pressed to his chest. The thump of his heart beat comforting and grounding. “I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you. I hoped it was a wrong number.”
“Now that we know it isn’t, I’ll figure it out.”
“How?” I asked, closing my eyes.
“Lot of things you don’t know about me, Honey.”
“I know.”
He was silent for a second. “I’ll figure it out. You’re going to be safe. I want you tell me if someone sends another fucking message to you. Got it?”
I nodded. “Okay.”
“Good girl.” He smoothed a hand over my hair and dropped a kiss to my forehead. “Everything is going to be okay. You know that right?”
I was quiet but then I opened my eyes and looked up at him with a smile, because I did know it was going to be okay if Law promised it. “Yes.”
Thank You!
Thank you for picking this book up. This book has a special place in my heart and I sincerely hope you continue to read along with me as The Cairn series continues.
I hope you love Lawson and Honey as much as I do. This couple and their journey together has got to be one of the most satisfying things I’ve written in a very long time.
I write for a reason and that is for you, dear reader, telling all the stories in the world wouldn’t mean a thing if you weren’t reading them.
Love Y’all.
