Chapter Thirteen

~Bladen~

“Hate to put you on the spot, but we need to talk, and not in public. What’s your address? I’ll take you home.”

She’s still in my arms. Her lips are plump like bees have stung them. I like it. I relish that I did it to her. I knew the minute I laid eyes on her that, though Tamalyn Andrews may have lost some weight, that hair, although a little frail, is the right color, those hips, those eyes—this is my woman.

“You’re not going home with me.”

“Shit’s gone down. Did what should have been done before. You’re safe, you have my word, but I need to talk to you, and this ain’t the place to do it.”

“I’m not who you think I am.”

My frustration builds. I don’t want to be a dick and push her too hard, but time is important. She needs to know what has gone down.

“Don’t have time to play games.” I cup her chin in my hand and tilt her head softly to make her look me in the eyes. “Never played games with you; always kept it real. It’s always been you. Don’t push all that aside for some self-preservation shit right now. I get I fucked some shit up. I get I’ve stayed away. But fuck, you know why. You know if they found me, it would lead to you if I didn’t play it right. Now please, Tamalyn, I’m begging you to tell me where you live so I can take you home and we can talk. When I’m done, you want me to leave and never look back, so be it.”

It kills me to even think of being away from her ever again, but if she learns the truth and wants me gone, I will leave. I will go back to the way it was before, or I will at least try my damnedest to.

For a moment, I wonder if she will stand behind this ruse. Then she softens and sighs.

“I’m just up the road behind Benny’s. I live in the shed.”

She lives in a shed, while I have more money in my bank account than I’ll ever spend in a lifetime. It kills me to think of her struggling. I help her finish her work. Then, when we get outside, she hesitates before climbing on the back of my bike after giving me directions to her house.

The moment she settles in behind me, I can’t help asking, “Remember the first ride?”

She doesn’t respond.

“Bladen, I can’t believe you got a motorcycle.”

“It’s better on gas, easier to maintain, and all around cheaper,” I explain, just like I did my mother.

“You really want me to climb on here?”

“Trust me, Tamalyn. Promise you, baby, I’m not gonna let anything happen to you when your arms are around me, or mine are around you.”

When she rests her hands on my sides, I turn my head to her. “Whether your arms are around me or mine around you, Tamalyn Andrews, you’re safe now. Fucked up before. Made shit as right as I can.
