Hawk

Even with Rose’s warm body in my arms, I still can't believe last night really happened. Finally, after all these years, she’s mine. Glancing out the window, the position of the sun tells me I slept in longer than usual, but for once, I don’t mind. Having extra time with Rose is worth it.

Of course, my anger at what was done to her hasn’t faded one bit, though I’m not going to let that taint this moment. Deciding the best way to wake her up is with kisses, I smile when she begins to stir, my mouth journeying down her collarbone, then her breasts.

"Good morning," she sighs, eyes closed, fingers threading through my hair. I lay my head on her chest, enjoying her caresses and return her greeting. If I was ever given affection, I don’t remember it. Perhaps when my mom was alive, but it’s been so long that I can’t be sure. My memory of that time has faded. Hesitantly she asks, "You want to talk now?"

I sit up and take her with me, trying not to get distracted as the sheet falls to her waist, but the love bites I gave her are proving to be too much temptation. When I cover her, she giggles, fully aware of the reason why. Once that’s done, I urge, "Start at the beginning." She explains who Caleb is and that he’s been blunt in letting her know that he’s interested. When I ask how long ago and she admits he’s been messing with her for weeks, I’m pissed.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I know how busy you’ve been, and I was worried I was overreacting at first. Plus, it’s a face to face conversation, and well…" Pulling her knees toward her, she wraps her arms around them, as if she’s hugging herself for reassurance. If I hadn’t stayed away from her…

"So he kidnapped you?"

She nods, stating, "I guess he got fed up with me rejecting him. Took the choice from me." At the very least, even believing I was doing the right thing, I should’ve watched over her better. Rose either feels my inner turmoil or it’s written on my face as she cups my cheek, saying, "It's not your fault. I should have called or texted you immediately."

Placing a kiss in the center of her palm, I correct her, "This is on me." Suggesting she try to rest some more; I stand and grabs my phone out of my jeans. When she wants to know what I’m doing, I shift, finding that she’s already settled down again, eyes half-closed. "Calling my team." Heading downstairs, I enter the kitchen, finding myself liking her home more and more. It’s a small farmhouse with that homey feel that surrounds her.

I skim over the missed calls and texts, opting to just dial Cannon instead. “What the fuck, man?” Phoenix demands when he answers. In the background, meaning Phoenix put it on speakerphone, I hear Cannon giving him shit.

"Don't answer my damn phone when I'm right here.
