Chapter Five

Leon

God, I feel like shit. I groaned and rolled over to shade my eyes from the light coming in through the little window. What the hell did I do last night? My eyelids pulled back, and the sight before me was not what I was expecting.

“Jesus Christ!” I flew off my bed and smacked the side of my cabin, punching a hole right through it.

“Dammit!”

“Good morning, Star.” The beauty lying in my bed, wearing just my shirt, stretched and looked at me with hungry eyes.

“What the fuck are you doing on my boat?” I tried to calm down. Lily Blue didn’t need any more damage.  The black-haired girl sat up and looked at me with her head titled to the side, like she was trying to figure something out.  Suddenly a big grin flashed on her face and she laughed. Hard.

She was off her rocker.

“Oh, boy. You don’t remember shit, do you?” She crawled toward me and I tripped backward to get away from her, fucking up my boat even more.

“Just stay where you are, and tell me what the hell is going on.” I put a hand out, trying to get her to stay away from me. I could have sworn I saw hurt flash in her eyes, but then she gave me a wicked grin and licked from my wrist to my fingers.

“Well, Leon…” She sat up on her knees.

“You and I got hitched last night.

“So, husband, I’m in my new home.” She looked around and smiled at the small cabin.

Oh, shit. My legs gave out from shock.

I was married. That can’t be. I was about to deny it but then she reached over to the little table on the other side and grabbed a piece of paper.

“Here.” She handed it to me, and there you go:  signed by both of us, two witnesses, and the notary that did it. We were legally married.

“I can’t deal with this shit right now,” I groaned, and then not on accident, I turned and punched more holes in my boat, not giving one shit at the moment.

“Now I know how you carried me all over Seahill last night. So strong,” she purred, not looking at me like the freak I was.

“Yeah. Your new husband is a freak of nature. He can crumble a car up like a piece of paper. Oh, and some other little bit of info you probably didn’t know—I’m wicked fast, too. Can run faster than the fastest car there is.”  I was having a breakdown. Last thing I remembered was getting hammered at the club after Charles called to tell me he wasn’t getting that surgery. Then my eyes narrowed at the beauty before me.

“You’re the cage dancer!” I remembered her, and I remembered her sitting in my lap. Talking. But then things start to get fuzzy, fading out until there is nothing but this morning.

“That’s me, baby.” She came closer, and I just couldn’t do this right now.

“I’m sorry about all this. But I don’t wanna be married.”  We had to get this thing annulled, and quick.

She looked at me again then started that same big grinning laugh she had done before. Crazy woman, I’m telling you.

“Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, honey. But we got married in Seahill, baby. That means we have to wait a month before we can get this marriage taken care of.”

Fuck.

“Well, I need to go get some of my things and make this place more homey for me.” She stood and took off my shirt, revealing that she had been completely naked underneath. She reached over to grab her outfit from last night off the shelf.

Did we sleep together? I mean, technically we were married, and that was our wedding night…

“The answer to your question is no. We didn’t fuck.  I was about to hop on ya, but you passed out. So I bundled you up like the good wife I am and went to sleep.” She pulled up her tight leather pants and started working on her top.

My eyes got stuck on her body as she wiggled in front of me. She had pierced nipples, with little wings coming out the sides of the barbells.
