Chapter 15
Someone running me off the road had me pretty shaken up, but the way Kane catered to me made me forget about it.
Almost. I’d fallen asleep after Kane ate me for dessert, but during the night, I had a nightmare and had trouble going back to sleep.
I tried to keep quiet so I wouldn’t wake Kane, but he ended up waking up anyway and found me in the corner of the bed, with my knees bent and tears falling from my eyes.
That incident had been one of the scariest moments of my life.
Not knowing who it was made things worse.
I didn’t know if they would come try again or not.
When Kane found me, he held me and let me cry until I stopped. He carried me to the kitchen where he made me a cup of tea, and we talked until I got sleepy again. He carried me back to bed, then held me until I fell asleep.
He woke me up in the morning with his head between my legs.
“Your pussy has become my newest fixation. I need it in my mouth at all times,” he said as he kissed me.
It didn’t matter if I had morning breath or not, Kane was going to kiss me, and I let him every time.
“Well good morning to you too,” I said as he hovered over me.
His morning wood poked my thigh. “Good morning.” He tried to move away, but I held him in place.
He looked down as I grabbed him and put him inside of me. There was no way I was going to let him leave this bed with a hard dick, especially after the way he woke me up. When we were done, we showered together and got back in bed.
I wasn’t sure when I had fallen asleep, but the soft kisses to my face made me wake up.
When I opened my eyes, Kane was on the side of the bed, shirtless, with a tray of food in his hand.
“You have to eat something, Munch. We have plans for the day.”
My eyes stretched as I sat up. “We do?”
When my back was against the headboard, Kane placed the tray in front of me.
“We do. I told you I wanted to take you on dates and shit, so that’s what we are doing.”
“What about everything else?”
Someone tried to kill me, and we were still trying to figure out what to do about everything else. I wasn’t sure if going on a date would be a good idea. Kane wasn’t the type to go on dates, so I was curious to see what he had planned.
Kane leaned forward, kissed my forehead, then scooped some eggs onto the fork. I opened my mouth when he held the fork to it.
“Everything will be taken care of in due time. Like you told me, we have to be smart about it, so that’s what we will do.
In the meantime, I want us to still live our normal lives.
Well, dating ain’t normal for me, but you get it.
” He chuckled as he fed me some more. “If it makes you feel better, we’ll go somewhere out of the Valley.
That way you will feel more comfortable. ”
“You thought this through, huh?”
He smiled, and my heart skipped a beat. “I did. The only thing you have to decide is if we are going to take my bike or the Bronco. Before you answer, you have to see the Bronco because me telling you about it ain’t good enough.”
I’d only seen Kane on his bike, so I never realized he drove anything else.
“What about clothes? I only have the clothes I had on yesterday.”
Kane smiled again, then got up. I followed his movements as he walked to the closet and came out with multiple bags.
I reached for the bags, but he moved his hand back. “Finish eating first, then you can see what’s in the bags.” He placed the bags on the bed but made sure I finished eating.
Besides the eggs, I had sausage patties and toast with a glass of orange juice.
During one of our conversations, I told Kane I wasn’t a big breakfast eater, but he stressed that I needed to put something on my stomach every morning.
The plate of food was enough for me. When I was done eating, Kane took the tray and put it on the dresser, while I tore through the bags.
In the bags were underclothes, jeans, leggings, and a couple of shirts. Of course, everything was blue since that was not only Viper colors, but Kane’s favorite color as well.
“Did you get this stuff while I was sleeping?” I asked as I laid a shirt and jeans on the bed. It was the outfit I settled on wearing for the day. Kane didn’t know, but I was going to take one of his hoodies from the closet.
“I did. I don’t want you out of my sight, at least not for today. I didn’t want to run the risk of you going home. Plus, I like the idea of you keeping some stuff here.” He shook his head. “I don’t know what you are doing to me, Munch. I’m ready to give you the whole closet if you want it.”
I pushed the clothes and the blanket to the side to get closer to him. I rubbed the top of his head, then the side of his neck where his tattoo was.
“Maybe not the whole side, but I’ll take up a little space. I feel comfortable here, and you know I am staying with my parents. I could use the break from them sometimes.”
“The door is always open for you. You can stay how often you want.” He kissed my forehead, then my lips. “Let’s get dressed so we can go.” He picked me up and carried me to the bathroom where we showered together before we got dressed.
Kane told me to choose between the Bronco and his bike, so I had chosen the Bronco. When I looked at it, I couldn’t believe how good of shape it was in.
“What year is this?” I asked as we rode down the highway.
“It’s a 1970. My dad and I did some work under the hood, but we tried to keep it as authentic as possible. I don’t drive it too often. Most of the time, I’m on my bike, but sometimes I like to take her out to get the engine going.”
“It’s beautiful,” I said as I rubbed the leather seat.
The interior was in such good condition; it looked like he’d just gotten it.
“Thanks. I’m glad you like it.” He turned toward me and winked.
“Where are we going?”
He placed his hand on my thigh and squeezed it. “We can go wherever you want to go, Munch.”
The top was off, and the windows were down since it had been such a nice day. A few clouds moved through the sky, and I prayed it didn’t end up raining.
I rubbed my hand over the back of his neck. “It doesn’t matter to me. As long as we are together.”
Kane glanced at me and shook his head.
“Why are you shaking your head?”
“Because I never thought I’d see the day.
” I looked at him, but he continued. “I don’t do shit like this, Munch.
Dates, caring about feelings, trying to make a woman happy, none of that.
I was a fuck ’em and leave them type of guy.
You made me look at things differently. Sometimes I can’t explain what it is about you, but I know I don’t want anyone else to experience you. ”
“Well, thank you for putting in the effort to make me feel special.”
He slowed the truck down and leaned over to kiss me.
“Because you are, and I’m going to make sure you feel it every day.” He grabbed my hand and intertwined it with his, then lifted and kissed it.
There was an upgraded radio, so we listened to music while he drove. I felt relaxed being in Kane’s presence, and none of the other stuff mattered.
An hour later, we arrived at the beach. It was nice, but not nice enough for people to be in the water, but there were people on the boardwalk.
Kane found a parking spot, then helped me out of the truck. The clouds had increased, so he put the top back on just in case.
When he was finished, he grabbed my hand, and we walked toward the boardwalk.
“I want to say something before we get our date started.”
My heart rate increased because the seriousness of his tone made me nervous.
“I’m listening.”
Kane started to walk, so I followed suit. Our hands were still conjoined, and he tightened his grip a little. It didn’t hurt, but I guessed he did it so I wouldn’t try to run away, and that made me even more nervous.
“I’ve been feeling guilty since Slim was killed.”
I stopped and looked at him. There was a lump in my throat because if he felt guilty, then he must have known something.
Oh God. Did he bring me here to kill me?
I had to push the lump down to speak. I didn’t want him to think I was scared, but I was. “Why?”
“Because I had gotten a call from him a few days prior. He told me he had to tell me something, and we were supposed to meet up. I never thought it was something that severe, so I didn’t get a chance to see him. I often think that if I found the time, the outcome may have been different.”
My shoulders relaxed when he was finished. I for sure thought it was going to be something much more detrimental.
I reached up and forced him to look at me.
“Hey. There is no way you could have known that. And even if you did, whoever did this probably would have done it regardless. You can’t carry that guilt with you. The person who did it is the only person responsible. Okay?”
He nodded and pulled me into his arms.
“Thank you,” he whispered.
“I thought you were going to throw me in the ocean or something,” I joked to lighten the mood.
Kane barked out a laugh, causing people to look in our direction.
“Hell no. The only ocean I’m trying to be in is the one between your legs.
You think I’m going to kill you and take away that good pussy?
Tuh. You tripping.” He shook his head and looked at me like I had really lost my mind.
He kissed the side of my mouth, then my lips, before we started walking again.
I was in a fit of giggles because of the way he kept looking at me. I was just glad the mood had been lightened.
We spent a few hours at the boardwalk, playing games, eating good, and talking. It was a simple date, but it had been one of the best dates I’d been on.
I knew sooner or later, shit was going to get bad, but I was glad we found time for each other in the midst of the impending chaos.
