Chapter Eleven

Timmons

I should have known better than attempt to fall asleep with her next to me. I knew the horrible nightmares that I often woke up from. I should’ve offered her the guest bedroom to sleep in. The look on her face, when I finally realized what I was doing, was unforgettable. She wasn’t scared, wasn’t worried, she had the look of ‘I will kick your ass if I have to’. She truly was a warrior.

“Let’s go in the kitchen, before I ravish you again,” I winked and climbed out of bed. My damn leg was killing me. I looked down at the piece that had become a part of me. I wasn’t supposed to sleep with the damn thing on, but I’d be damned if I was taking it off in front of anyone.... especially Aughbreigh.

I looked up to find her staring at me laughing. I snapped out of it and raised an eyebrow.

“What’s so funny,” I asked slipping on my boxers.

“You didn’t hear a single word I said,” she giggled and hopped out of bed.

“What did you say?”

“I was just saying how eventually I can give you some privacy so you can,” her words drifted a little bit, “freshen up,” she pointed at my leg.

“Oh,” I growled.

“I’m not trying to be rude. I just know that you slept with it last night and haven’t given yourself a rest. “

“I’m fine,” I snapped and made my way to the kitchen.

“I could always leave,” she shouted from the bedroom. I stopped walking and looked back.

“Do what you have to do,” I shrugged and went into the kitchen. I regretted the words the moment they left.

“Okay. I’m just going to freshen up real quick and I’ll be on my way,” I heard her say it before she went into the bathroom. I was already kicking myself in the ass. Figures, I finally meet someone I can talk to and I’m already shoving her out the damn door.

I ran my hands through my hair and contemplated my next move. Did I really want her to hang out longer? Or was I just lonely for a piece of ass? She was great in bed and a guy would be lucky to score her for the bedroom.

The bathroom door opened and she came out refreshed, as though we had never fucked. I frowned that no other guy could tell that she was mine. Wait? Mine? Ugh. I was turning into a huge sap and needed to let her walk out the door; the sooner, the better.

“Well, thanks for having me over,” she said smiling. She was acting as though nothing was wrong with her. Most women wore their emotions on their sleeves, but of course, not Aughbreigh.

“No problem,” I walked her towards the door.

“Be sure to take care of yourself, Jeff,” she didn’t bother looking me in the eyes. She was too busy reaching for the door handle. I frowned and grabbed her hand.

“You’re going to leave just like that?”

“Why wouldn’t I,” she laughed, “you made it clear you didn’t want me here.
