ROUGH

I’ve never considered killing a man. I’ve had men steal women out from under me. I’ve heard of women in our club getting assaulted. I’ve known people to be truly heinous individuals. But, despite all that, I’ve never actually considered murder.

I keyed cars when I was younger. A sort of payback to people being assholes. I beat up men who were dicks to me. I got in a few fist fights for another person’s cause. I’ve essentially been hired muscle for a few motorcycle club-related things. But never in my life have I considered killing someone as a result of their actions.

Until today.

Tessa breaks down and tells me the truth about her relationship with Liam. The night we spent together all those months ago, she never mentioned being married before. This is all new information and it hits me like a ton of bricks. The more she talks, the angrier I become.

It was bad enough that the guy wanted to convince her to have kids before she was ready. Tessa was fresh out of college when he started wanting her to spread her legs and bear him babies. But then when she finally wanted to, he was over it? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

“Let’s put the babies down,” Tessa whispers.

I don’t know how long we’ve been sitting here holding the twins and talking about her ex-husband, but it’s been long enough for us to rock them back to sleep. It only takes a minute to put them down and they successfully keep sleeping despite the jostling.

“Tessa,” I start when we return to the living room.

She cuts me off this time. “It’s fine, Rough. Really. You don’t need to say anything. In fact, you should probably go.”

Shock crosses my face as I’m taken aback by her abrupt change of nature. “What?”

She swipes away the tears that have been falling from her eyes and sniffles. Tessa starts to straighten up, unable to meet my eyes as she talks. “This is difficult for me. I’m sure it’s just as difficult for you, meeting your kids for the first time, but this whole thing is very hard for me to accept as well. If it’s okay, I’d like to take a couple of days to adjust. Maybe you could come back later?”

Words build up inside of me. I suddenly have a dozen things I want to say to her. I have a million questions about the babies and the way she wants to bring them up. I want to ask her if her future still looks the same as it did nine months ago. Where do I fit into all of this? Are we just coparents or can we be more? Every question that I’d suppressed in the beginning, I start to think of now. I want nothing more than to sit with her and talk for hours like we did all those months ago.

But Tessa looks at me with red-rimmed eyes and I know what Rowdy would say. He would want me to give her space.
