34. Chapter 28
Kaylynn
I swear when Tommy found all my cuts, I thought I was gonna die and shrivel up inside. I did not expect to get the reaction that he gave me. Actually all of my mates just looked at me with love and adoration.
“Come on sweet girl, I’m gonna wash you up, braid your hair, get your pajamas on and tuck you into bed for the night.
” Tommy’s raspy voice really makes me think about so much more than taking a shower, but I know I might be pressing my luck right now.
So, I just nod my head in agreement, because I really don’t know what else to say at this time.
I feel like if I open my mouth, then I’m opening too many doors that I don’t wanna open right now.
They might ask questions that I do not want to answer right now, ones like ‘Why do you do it? What's the reasoning? When did you start? Where did you learn this from?’. I mean, the questions could go on and on, and I’m just not in the mood to answer any of those right now. My tummy suddenly starts to rumble.
“You better add feeding to the list. There’s no way I am letting my mate go to bed hungry.
” Tommy grabs out a pair of clothes from his backpack.
It’s a matching set of sweats and a sweatshirt in my perfect size.
I smile at the sweet gesture, because this man found me matching outfits.
One day, I’m going to ask him where he gets them from.
He stands me up, and pulls the sweatshirt over my head. Kneeling down, he carefully takes one foot at a time pulling up the pants, he places a kiss on my belly button before pulling them up all the way, and it makes me giggle.
“Let’s get going.” He clasps his hand in mine, pulling me to meet up with the guys to let them know we were leaving.
“Will see you at home Kay baby. We just have a few things to work out.” Andrew kisses my cheek, and Mathew kisses my neck.
Zach winks at me. “Be good for Tommy baby.”
I look at our hands, and I’m mesmerized with how his hand compares to mine. It makes me feel so safe and so secure, which is something I really need at a time like this.
“I don’t think he would just give me back for no reason.” I just can’t stop thinking about it, and the more I think about it, the more it just doesn’t make any sense. Why would he go through all that work of taking me, just to give me right back?
“I don’t want you worrying about that right now, baby girl. I’ll take care of it for you.” Tommy purrs into my ear.
Really? I am so worried, because I may not know their father the way they do, so I can only go off of what I have seen, or heard with my own ears.
But I know enough to know this man is playing a dirty game, and he will do anything it takes to get what he wants.
What exactly does he want? I know he wants his sons to fall in line, but why?
My head starts to pound as I start to overthink everything.
Wait, aren’t the guys also supposed to be able to hear me?
I know I can block them too. My mind starts racing with so many questions.
“Calm down Kay, you're going to give yourself a panic attack. Look, we will answer questions if that's what you need, but I really think you need some food right now.”
Even in my new outfit, I feel like I look like a mess. Honestly, I don't know if that's internally, or externally, or maybe a combination of both. Tommy opens one of the black Tahoe’s doors.
“No motorcycle today?” I ask him.
“No, baby girl, not today.” Tommy lifts me up into the seat, and he pulls the strap over my body, locking it in place.
“I thought you guys worked at the club?” I ask curiously.
“We do, that’s our main headquarters, and as you know, we live there too. This is our business office though, for big deals and where we meet with clients.”
“Hmm. Ok.” I say as I process the information, as Tommy goes around the Tahoe, and hops in the driver’s seat. That’s something I will want to dabble in more later. My body starts to ache, and I think it’s finally hitting me that I lived in a coffin for a week.
“Now, you need to tell me what happened. I know my father and he’s not some gentle person. What did he do to you?”
I shrug my shoulders like it’s no big deal.
“After he created that mess back there, he took off with you. We had our men out on the streets searching. We sent feelers out all over the city, but got no hints. Even Mathew hacked his way through the city, but for some reason, we got nothing. Which means he has those claws dug into something, or someone, they shouldn’t be in. ”
“He put me in a coffin to teach me a lesson, but also because of you guys. You're not doing what he wants, so he’s using me to get to you.” I came up with this all on my own.
I mean, why else would he want me and just give me back so easily?
We both know there’s more to this. He dropped me back off to what?
” I think about all the reasons running through my head.
“Nope, you're not going down that dark hole.” Tommy squeezes my thigh. “You have us now, and I know you’re not used to having other people on your side, but you need to know that we are your mates. We are your official mates, and we will always take care of you. There’s no need for you to worry about any of this.
This is something between us and our father.
” I look up into Tommy’s eyes, and all I want to do is cry.
The feeling of being seen is something I have never had before.
I've been on my own for so long, that I don’t even know what it feels like to have anyone in my corner.
Even my own father was never there for me, and I never knew my mother.
I still wonder to this day what happened to her. My father never told me.
A few tears come out of my eyes, and I hate it. I hate how vulnerable I feel at this moment.
“You know, it’s OK to feel that way.” Tommy reassures me.
“What do you mean?” I choke out through my sobs that are now flowing freely.
“You forget that we know so much more about you than you even know about yourself. It’s ok to feel vulnerable, because we will always be here for you, and we will always take care of everything.
We know that you haven’t had that before, but it’s something that you deserve to have.
And from now on, you will experience it.
” We stay in silence for a little while, and I soak in all the attention.
Every once in a while, Tommy will squeeze my thigh, almost like a reassurance that everything‘s going to be ok. I keep waiting for him to bring up the whole cutting issue, but not once does he say anything, which is nice, because I really just don’t want to get into that right now.
I look out the window and I’m immediately mesmerized by all the beautiful lights.
People are walking fast, as if they are in a rush to get to where they’re going, like they have important things to do.
Neon lights strobe out from a bunch of windows around us.
I wonder where everyone is up to? Honestly, I haven’t been out much, and I had no idea that our city was so amazing.
Tommy's phone starts to ring, and I look over at him wondering who is calling. He picks it up, and starts speaking. “Yeah. No. Ok, yes, we’ll be right there.” I can’t hear the voice on the other end, but whatever they say must not be good. Tommy grips my leg harder before he hangs up the call.
“That was Zach. We need to head over to Eye Candy, and take care of some business.” I look back out the window, and nod my head in agreement.
“Wait, Eye Candy?” I look over at Tommy in confusion. “What kind of place is named Eye Candy?”
“A place one of our really good business partners owns, and well, he’s also a part of one of the societies.” Tommy answers my question.
After a few minutes and some small talk, we pulled up to a building, and as I’m climbing out of the Tahoe, I’m in awe at what I see in front of me.
From the outside, you see some windows, and in those windows are different girls.
Some are on chairs, others are on stripper poles, and there’s some just standing there.
A few are on beds, and they are all wearing something different from the others, all dressed very provocatively.
I look at all of them with envy. All these women look the way I’ve always wanted to look, and wished that I looked now.
I must’ve been staring for too long, because Tommy comes up behind me, and squeezes my hips.
“You know you are just as beautiful. No, actually let me correct myself, you are more gorgeous than any of these women.” I'm starting to realize Tommy knows just what to say and when to say it. Honestly, I feel like he reads me better than anyone has ever read me in my entire life.
Two men stand at the door. Honestly, I’m still curious what these men are eating, because I have never seen such huge men in my entire life, but then again, I haven’t really been out much.
Something seems different about this place though.
I sniff the air, and my senses are telling me these are different kind of men.
I look over to Tommy, who nods back at me. He places his hand on my back and guides me through the doors. “There's nothing you have to worry about here, baby Kay.”
“Ok.” That’s all I’m able to say, because I honestly have no idea what’s hiding behind these walls.
