That was quite the trip. I knew that going to her trailer wasn’t going to be a fun time, but I didn’t realize just how unhinged he could be. Once we got back to the house, I helped her unload her suitcases and get them hauled back to the guest house. She has locked herself in for the night and is going to unpack. I would give anything to be in there with her and just allow her to unload any emotions or thoughts she has about what transpired today, but I know she needs her space.
From my room, I can see the lights glowing, the guest house, and her silhouette moving around in the kitchen space. On our way home, she had asked me to stop at the local grocery store to pick up a few things. While I know she won’t always be dependent on Nyx or any of the Devil Dogs, it was nice to know that she would always be coming in for dinner every night.
The kitchen in the guest house isn’t a full kitchen by any means; it reminds me of the kitchens found in long-term stay hotels. A very tiny oven that you can fit a single small cookie sheet in, and two electric burners on top. It isn’t enough to host a huge dinner party, but enough for a single person to live by.
I feel like a stalker in the shadows just watching her. My door closed, the lights are off, and I am just standing in the dark with my sweat pants on, just waiting for a glimpse of her. Does she know I am watching and waiting for her to make a move to see me? I have never felt so insecure in my life over a woman. I know she wants me. That is evident in our fire when we touch each other. But I also know that she needs time and space to heal.
Kyra was kidnapped; before that, she was in a highly abusive relationship. Both mental and physical. She needs to find Kyra again. She needs to understand that she is deserving of love and affection. While I understand she needs space and time, I will not allow her to push me away and act as if the chemistry between us is purely physical. That I am some fuck boy, Tinder date, she can fuck and kick out the moment my cum is leaking out of her.
Just at the thought of fucking her, my dick starts to thicken in my sweats. I need to calm down. Graham and Dee just got back from taking Nyx out, and I need to talk to them about Mike. I need to work through all possible situations, to see if there is anything we can do to rid the world of that shit stain.
Willing my cock down, I throw on a t-shirt before heading down to the living room. I can hear Nyx and Graham play wrestling in the living room, and I’m sure Dee is just sitting there watching them, trying to hide an entertained smirk. Once I hit the last step, they all look up at me with looks of shock written on their faces.
“Did y’all forget I live here too?” I say with a chuckle.
“Nope.” Nyx pops the “p” and then continues. “Just figured you would spend more time in the guest house with Kyra than in here with us.”
”She said she needed space and wanted to unpack. I am trying not to be in her face, but I also don’t want her to forgetthat I am here and ready.” Nyx just smiles at my answer before turning to look at my brother and Dee.
“Not that I didn’t like him before, but I definitely like him now. I’ll leave you guys to talk while I go get ready for bed.” She jumps up off Graham’s lap fast enough that he can’t react to keep her sitting on him, heads over to Dee, and gives him a quick kiss, and then heads up the stairs.
“So…” Demitri looks at me with a look that says, “What the fuck did you want?” “You needed to talk to us?”
”Is there anything we can do to get rid of Mike? He is an abomination to humankind. Today was horrendous, and I would never in a million years want another woman to have to experience the abuse that Kyra has.”
”Trust me Bro,” Graham pats me on the shoulder. “If we could do anything about him, I would have already. Little Witch has hated him from the moment we met her, and we all know I will do anything I can to keep her happy.”
“I think we all would do anything to keep both girls happy,” Dee adds quickly.
“Unfortunately, we cannot run around killing all the assholes we would like. Montegomery would not like it very much if he were always having to clean up our messes. Based on what Nyx has said, he is kinda close with his family, and someone would probably miss his dumb ass.”
Placing my head in my palms, I tug slightly at my shaggy hair. Fuck, I need a haircut. I quickly run through scenarios in my head, in hopes that I can come up with something. In hopes of finding a way to dispose of him so no one would miss him.
“Hmmmm,” I sit for a second before I continue my thought. “Can we send him away? Find some killer “job” he can’t say no to?” I will do anything at this point to keep him away from her.
“I will reach out to some friends and see if we can get him relocated…but…I’m not promising anything, little bro.” Grahampats me on my head like I’m 10 again before getting off the couch. “Now I’m off to find a hot Witch, so she can use my magic wand.”
His laugh echoes down to the living room as he climbs the stairs. Dee stands to join him, but before he leaves, he pats me on the back.
“Thank you for taking care of Kyra,” Dee says as he walks towards the stairs.
Well, that was unproductive. Deciding to look into something I can control, I head back to my room and open my laptop.
I have a jeep to locate.
CHAPTER 21
KYRA
JANUARY
The holidays have come and gone, and life is starting to feel like it is getting back to normal. Well, as normal as it can be when you’ve been kidnapped and now living in the guest house of your best friend’s boyfriend’s, well, I guess Fiancés house now.
Christmas was magical. Dee proposed to Nyx in front of all of us, and it was just perfect. I am so excited for her. Those two men make her so fucking happy. Sometimes I’m a touch jealous, but I would never be mad at her for finding her happiness.
Things with Cal have been nice. Nothing has happened in a while, but he is always there. Always willing to help, to be a friend, to keep me company, or drive me places. He takes me to work most days now. I still haven’t been able to purchase a new car. I didn’t bother to try to fight Mike for the money in the bank, so I am starting from scratch.
I went back to work after the holidays, and they were so understanding of everything. They allow me to have days when my anxiety gets the best of me, or let me take long lunches tohave calls with my therapist. Doctor Sherman was someone that Cal found for me. She is absolutely fantastic.
