Instead I gave in and questioned her about this guy. The shit was staying at the edge of my mind like a specter.
Besides, there was no point in putting it off. No matter when she tells me, I’m not going to be happy. It doesn’t matter who he is.
I recognized the guy she described to me as someone I didn’t know personally, but his name was known to me.
Then it came to me. He’s the doctor whose office she’d got a job in a few months before I was sent away.
Roy Wallace is the last man I would’ve chosen for my woman. He’s older, running to fat and a loud mouth blow hard from what I remembered. Now what she’d told me earlier made sense.
The man had to be in his late sixties or thereabouts. That got me to thinking; what the hell could he possibly want with my woman who was more than half his age?
It’s true she’s a knockout. In fact she’s always been considered one of the, if not the, most gorgeous woman in these parts.
Even me, back in the day, a guy who’d never had any problems with the ladies, had been surprised when I won her. Best fucking day of my life.
She’s one of those beauties that turns heads. And if her beauty isn’t enough she’s got the sweetest disposition and a body that makes a man hard as fuck on first sight.
Though I was glad that she’d ended up with someone like him, someone who couldn’t touch her, I still couldn’t understand why. If she meant to move on with her life, why hadn’t she chosen someone she could spend that life with?
She explained that it was mostly because he had money and she thought that would be good security for her and little Kane. Plus the fact that she didn’t have to sleep with him was a bonus.
I knew she was telling me in her own way that she never wanted to be with anyone else. Now that’s the love I remember. The woman who’d won my heart within minutes of us meeting.
The girl who, when I was facing the end of my life, was only thing I could think of until I almost went mad. I’d had to cut her out of my thoughts, but she was never really far from me.
My ass was still sulking at the fact that some other asshole had at any time thought he had any kind of claim to my family. That-that shit is even a part of our history.
I listened to her talk and let it all sink in. We laid together silently for the next little while until her phone rang somewhere in the room. She looked at me and I nodded for her to answer.
I suspected from her look that it might be him and I was right. She looked uncomfortable as hell when she answered. I held onto my temper and did my breathing shit before I went ape.
I followed along to her side of the conversation until it begun to sound like he was giving her a hard time. I took the phone from her hand.
‘This is Kane.” He didn’t say anything for a minute, but when he did, if he’d been standing in front of me I would’ve ended him then and there.
“I want my family back.”
“What the fuck did you just say to me? Your family? Do you know who the fuck I am? My woman and child will never be yours asshole.”
I might’ve been willing to give this fuck a pass if he’d not come at me with that shit. I was already hanging on by a thread thinking of some man taking care of my family.
I wasn’t interested in being reasonable, not if this fuck was going to talk shit in my ear. He went on about what he’d done for them in the past year which reminded me of the car she’d ridden over in.
I hung up in the middle of his bullshit and called Craig. “Where are you going?” She pulled the sheet up around her neck.
“I’ll be right back, don’t move.” I pulled on my clothes and grabbed her keys and mine before heading out the door.
I drove the car back and left it outside his gate before getting into Craig’s truck for the ride home.
Once back upstairs I asked her if there was anything else in my house that his money had bought. She thought about it and shook her head no.
My blood was up both from the phone call and the ride to his place. When I pulled the sheet away and pushed her legs open with mine her eyes opened wide in surprise.
“I’m going to fuck the last year out of your memory.” I didn’t even take off my jeans this time, too much in a hurry to get inside her.
