Chapter Thirty
Link
INEVER EXPECTED tohave sex with Annistyn last night.When Viper called me and said to go to the house because someone was on their way over, I was hoping it was my Pixie.That she was ready to talk about everything and start to heal the rift I caused in our relationship.I was planning on laying myself bare for her and explaining everything and then hope she stayed the night.Even if she slept in the room I gave her when she first moved in.Instead, she shocked the hell out of me after our talk.I know there are still more things to discuss, but it’s a start.I wanted to do so much more with Annistyn than what we actually did.The second I laid her in bed everything but the need to be buried deep inside her disappeared.I plan on taking my time with her next time and showing her how good things can be between the two of us.Showing her how good I can make her feel while expecting nothing in return.
Waking up with her in my arms, I don’t move for the longest time.I watch her sleep while her body is draped over mine.Her pale skin stands out against my slightly darker body.I count the freckles on her arm until she moves her body and snuggles in deeper against me.Looking down at her, I could stay in bed forever and never want to leave her side.However, that’s not possible.So, I slowly pull myself out from under Annistyn and grab the sweatpants I removed last night.Reaching out, I cover her up better and head to the bathroom.After taking care of business, I wash my hands and leave Annistyn sleeping while I head to the kitchen.My girl deserves to have breakfast in bed.
I grab my phone from the counter where I left it last night.There’s a ton of missed calls and messages.I spot one from Cali and open that one first.
Cali: I heard Annistyn is back.I want to see her the second she’s ready for me.Please fix this, Kreed.I’ve never seen you happier and you’re so good for her.You give her everything she wants without her having to ask for it.We love you both and are here if you need us.
Smiling, I respond to her message knowing she’s already awake with the kids.
Me: She’s back home.We still have a lot to figure out, but we did talk last night and I explained my side of things.I’ll tell her you’re waiting to see her, but give her a few days if it’s what she needs.She was truly hurt by everyone here.I know you weren’t involved, but it doesn’t mean you’re not included in the group in her mind.We love you too and I’ll keep you updated on things.
Next, I pull up the message from my mom.
Mom: You better find Annistyn and bring her home.Kreed, that girl is so in love with you and you both need one another.I know you’re in love with her.Treat her like the queen she is and never let her forget she’s the center of your world.I love you, but you need to make this right.The entire club does.
Me: She’s home, Mom.She came back last night and we talked.She was really worried about you and wanted to make sure you were okay and if you needed anything.We have a long road before things will be fixed, but I’ll put in the work every day.I love you, Mom.Take care of yourself.Call if you need anything.
Everyone else can wait for me to respond to them.Nothing matters more than making Annistyn breakfast before she wakes up.I want to take care of her and show her how much she means to me.I’ve never made anyone breakfast in bed before.With Annistyn I want to do all of this kind of stuff and won’t ever make her feel as if it’s out of obligation instead of a desire to do something sweet for her.
Pulling out the eggs, bacon, biscuits, and hash browns, I start preparing everything.We got the jumbo biscuits this time so she can make a breakfast sandwich if she wants to.I don’t know that she’s ever tried one before.We also have orange juice for her to drink.After cracking the eggs in the heated pan, I separate the bacon and place it on a cookie sheet.I’ve seen a few of the ol’ ladies bake it instead of frying it on the stove.As I cook the eggs, I place the biscuits on a different cookie sheet and wait for the bacon to be done.Just before the eggs finish cooking, I grab plates from the cupboard and have them ready for our breakfast.
By the time I have everything ready to go, I hear Annistyn moving around upstairs.Grabbing the tray I load our plates and juice on it, I quickly head upstairs to find the bathroom door closed.Setting the tray on the bed, I sit down next to it while I wait for her to come out.It doesn’t take long before the door opens and I take in a rumpled Annistyn.There’s a red crease on her cheek from the pillow and her hair has been thrown up in one of those messy buns.Sleep fills her eyes as she gives me a lazy smile.Instead of walking around naked, which I wouldn’t complain about at all, Annistyn is wearing one of my tee-shirts.It’s a plain black one and barely covers anything below her waist.It’s enough to know she’s not wearing panties.Fuck!This girl will be my undoing.
“Good morning,” she says, her voice raspy as she moves closer to me.
“Mornin’, Pixie.You feelin’ okay?”I ask her, reaching out for her hand and leading her back to bed.
“I’m a little sore,” she admits as I cover her body again and place the tray over her lap.“What’s all this?”
“I made us breakfast in bed.Pixie, last night meant the world to me.You have no idea how it feels to know you trust me enough to allow me to join in on one of your most vulnerable moments.Were you serious about not usin’ condoms now that it’s mornin’ time?”I ask her, taking my plate from the tray before moving my glass of juice to my stand.
“I mean, if we don’t use them, it won’t really bother me.I love being around the kids and would love some of my own.I think I’m ready to move forward, Kreed.I want you to claim me and get engaged.I won’t ever want a large wedding though.I’d rather go to the courthouse with a few people instead of being the center of attention for an entire day.This is stuff I’ve talked about with Debbie because of one of the girls on the ranch now.She has a very young daughter I helped her take care of.It made me realize I want a baby of my own.Debbie believes I’m ready because I’ve been doing really good.I mean, I had a few rough weeks recently, but she doesn’t believe that will hinder me in the long run,” she answers me and I’m so proud of her again.I know I say it all the time, but it’s the truth.Annistyn has done all the work herself with no help other than a few people on the ranch.
“That’s great, Pixie.I hate to bring this shit up now, but Master has discovered somethin’ really important,” I tell her knowing I’m about to ruin her world.
“Okay.What happened?Is your mom okay?Cali and the kids?”she asks, sitting up straighter and almost spilling the tray of her breakfast.
