Chapter Twelve

Deacon wasn’t going to deny something had changed last night.

Nothing drastic, but something all the same.

And that something scared off Reese.

She couldn’t hide it in her face. Or the way her body tensed against his when he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and played with her hair.

In truth, he was as surprised as she was he’d done it.

He hadn’t meant to, it just happened. Like it was natural.

That never happened before with any woman. He wasn’t the touchy-feely or clingy type. He usually got what he wanted, gave the woman what she needed and then split.

But Reese’s strength and stubbornness drew him. He’d grown up around two women who had been the same. Jemma, Judge’s sister, and his mother, Lottie.

He didn’t realize how strong his mother was until his father had gotten really sick. She struggled to keep working and to take care of him at the same time. Jemma, still really young, helped out as best as she could. By the time Walter was bed-ridden, Judge had already been out on his own for a while. He had offered to move back in, but Deacon’s mother wasn’t having any of it. She wanted Judge to live his own life and not be saddled taking care of his uncle.

Deacon thought his mother would shatter into pieces when the cancer finally took his father. But she didn’t, she managed to keep their patchwork family together.

They all helped where they could. Even if it was just around the house.

But his mother never gave up after losing the only man she’d ever loved. She kept putting one foot in front of the other, day after day.

Whether she broke down where Deacon and Jemma couldn’t see or hear her, he didn’t know. But he wouldn’t blame her one bit if she had.

So, yeah, Reese reminded him of the two strongest women in his life. The only two women he’d ever loved.

With a loud sigh, he slid a hand down his chest and into his boxer briefs. He was hard as fuck this morning and it would have been nice to turn over to find a warm, willing woman next to him.

Not just any woman. Reese.

But she had gone into her room and shut him out last night. Just like she had the previous nights.

She got what she wanted from him and then split.

Wasn’t karma a fucking bitch?

At least it being a Saturday, they’d finally get to spend some time together when she wasn’t exhausted and had nowhere to go.

“Christ, I’m turnin’ into a goddamn girl, Jussie. Gotta be that fuckin’ pot. It’s gotta be tainted.”

Justice turned his head toward Deke and whined, his tail thumping on the mattress.

“Gotta pee as bad as me?”

Justice whined again and scrambled from the bed.

“Guess you ain’t gonna give me time to work out the big muscle cramp I got.” He stroked his hard-on twice, then, with another sigh, threw off the covers and rolled out of bed.

He stopped in the upstairs bathroom and by the time he brushed his teeth and braided his hair, he was able to piss.
