JAMESON
I finally managed to pull my wife away from the main room and get her alone.
My hands were in her hair, my lips at her neck as I pulled her into my chest, and just breathed. We hadnât had any time to really process what had happened yesterday; even after arriving, we had focused on the kids and catching up with the threat. Even as we laid in bed last night, our kids were in the same room, so it wasnât like I could really process with her. Not in the way I needed to.
âJamie, whatâs going on?â Pen whispered in my ear while my mouth was still marking her throat.
My eyes nearly watered as I recalled the way that moment felt, when I saw that rider in the middle of the road with his gun aimed at our truck. How in that brief moment I imagined her being taken from me. How I had to swallow the fear that she might be hurt and just act. All night, I had that moment frozen in my mind, and the terror that lingered of what would have happened to me, or the kids, if she wasnât here anymore.
Even now, it made me physically shake at how helpless it made me feel.
âI just needed a second to hold youâ¦â
Pen leaned away from me while gripping my wrists. âYouâre shaking, Jameson. You never shake.â
I tried to give her a smile, but instead I just pulled her face up and pressed my lips to hers.
We were in the basement, where our little family had been placed, but there was a laundry room with a door that locked. I started walking us backward and toward it when Penelope stopped me, searching my face.
âTalk to me.â
Our foreheads pressed together as I let out a shudder. âI canât get it out of my head. The image of him aiming that gun at us. At you. I need to touch you, feel you. Know youâre with me.â
Her hand came up to stroke my back in a soothing fashion. âIâm always with you.â
âDonât say that, babyâ¦please, because all it does is remind me of those funerals we attended where we tried to encourage people grieving that their loved ones are always with them.â
She must have understood what I was trying to say, or at least get at because after a few silent seconds, she gripped my hand and walked with me back to the laundry room.
I shut the door and flipped the lock.
She glanced at the washer. âTake what you need, Jamie. Honestly, I need it too. Iâm good at shoving it down for the kids, but Iâm still seeing it too. Still flashes in my mind when I close my eyes.â
Nodding, I started unbuttoning my jeans, and my wife let out a small sigh.
âI donât know how long weâll have.â
âItâll be enough,â I whispered, moving closer to her. Our lips met, and within seconds, our tongues moved against each other in a caress that silently spoke of our fear.
