Eve

Derek certainly knew how to wake a girl up.

I smiled, thinking back to the memory of the previous night as I looked through his walk-in pantry, wanting to give him something in return for the pleasure he’d given me. My body warmed as the memory swam through my mind like a scene from a dirty movie.

I was pretty sure that over half the reason the sex was so good was because it was classic makeup sex. Not only was my body yearning and aching for him, but my heart had wanted him even more after his confession that he had become sober. Actions truly spoke louder than words, and breaking down the door to rescue me and giving up alcohol to rescue our relationship was the equivalent of grabbing a microphone and screaming on live TV.

And the kind of sex that ensued was probably audible to everyone within broadcasting distance.

And yet, do you think it’s all cherry blossoms now? Chuck is still out there, you know…

I cleared my thoughts at that, still unsure where that sudden fear had come from—even if it had been recurring since the sex had ended. I hadn’t brought it up to Derek, not wanting to seem like a burden and deciding that it was just a residual thought from our earlier separation. And while there was perhaps evidence of the fear being legitimate, I didn’t worry about it as much as perhaps I should have since I had the Saviors back to protect me.

After all, if Chuck made the audacious decision to cross paths with me, it would be in front of Derek, and that would not end well for him at all.

Going back to my task, I continued to look through the pantry.

“Get it together, Eve,” I whispered to myself.

I looked up at the sound of my phone ringing and stepped out of the pantry, looking around for my phone. The proximity of the phone call to me thinking about Chuck had me a little nervous to see who was calling, even if Chuck had not called me since he arrived. You have his number saved, you know. Unless he got a burner phone, which…

When I found it, I saw that it was Tara. Thank havens.

“Little early for you to be awake, isn’t it?” I said, thinking back to our days under Rock when an early wake up time was before 12 p.m.

“Is that how you talk to your best friend ever?” Tara’s voice replied with mock-hurt. “Damn, girl, you should be happy someone’s checkin’ on yo ass to make sure you’re alive!”

“I guess so,” I said, maintaining the playful back-and-forth. “But hey, I’m answering the phone, aren’t I? My voice is still normal, isn’t it?”

“Hmm,” she resigned without words, then asked, “So… you two okay, then.”

It wasn’t exactly a voice of confidence in Derek, a feeling that reminded me of how she had wanted to spill his brains out with the baseball bat. It was of enormous relief to know that if someone was going to end my boyfriend’s life, it was not going to be my best friend.
