“Hey, mijo. It’s good to see you. Still running from your wife?” he chuckles, looking around me to see if I’m hiding Everly.
“She’s not my wife,” I grumble.
“But you want her to be.”
“Yes, but have you considered she doesn’t? Fuck, I just found out that she’s probably seeing someone. Since I don’t let anyone in my home, when she’s not around she could be out fucking around.”
“Where did you get that crazy idea from?”
“I spoke to her brother today who told me that her mother said she’s into some guy.”
“Maybe you two need to talk.”
“That’s not as easy as you think. She’s living with me and what if she’s not interested and I make her feel uncomfortable?”
“She doesn’t want you? Has she given you any indication of that?”
“She doesn’t want any of my money or help. She calls me old and tells me I’m her father or something.”
“Maybe it’s because you boss her around like she’s a kid instead of a woman,” my sister says.
“Or maybe…she wants a good spanking” My other sister says walking away with a wink.
“As gross as that is coming from Isabella; your sister might be right,” my father mutters.
“She totally is. The early gray is totally giving daddy vibes, cuz. Girls love a hot older guy,” Beast’s daughter says.
“What did you say, wife?” Will growls.
She presses her hand to his chest, soothing him. “It’s true. You need to see social media. It’s everywhere, but you’re my everything.”
“Not into dudes, but thanks, sweetheart.”
“I’m not getting old,” I growl.
“No, but you’re a lot older than her,” Will adds. I want to kick his ass, but as the head of the Riders that wasn’t a smart move. Besides, it would be a hell of a fight.
“Thanks for the reminder why I’ve been staying away as much as I can and taking on more shifts than I need.” After I finished my residency, I could have cut it down to three shifts a week, but I wanted to build up a wall before I smashed Everly on every damn surface of the apartment.
Will claps my shoulder and chuckles. “If that was a good reason. Most of us wouldn’t exist.”
“Fair point,” I grumble. I need a beer and as if reading me like a book, my father hands me a cold one. “Thanks.”
“Trust me. We’ve all been down this road, and Will can tell you that patience can pay off. Just don’t be dumb and blow it by letting anyone else get in the way.”
“I need someone watching over her when I can’t.”
“Are you afraid there’s another guy or because you’re worried about her safety?” Will asks.
“A bit of both,” I confess.
“Don’t worry, cuz. I’ve got you. I’ll have two guys at your disposal. Just put in the call and we’ll have them watch over her when needed.”
“It shouldn’t be often. As far as I can tell, she doesn’t leave the apartment much, but when she does, it’s with her one friend.”
“Got it. I can make it happen. We have several prospects with shit to do at the moment and are looking for an assignment, so this is perfect.” I shook his hand and then followed my father out who wants me to shoot some pool.
It’s well after midnight when I get home and all the lights are off, so I carefully creep into the apartment, hoping that I don’t disturb her.
There’s a note on the dry erase board which we got because it was easier than a notepad.
Dinner is stored in the green container for lunch tomorrow.
I smile to myself and then leave my own note just so she knows I saw it.
Thank you, baby girl.
After taking a piss, I walk to bed and strip down to my boxer briefs. I pulled out my computer and brought up the footage from today. My eyes linger on her in the kitchen. Then I remembered that she could have seen me in the shower. I played it back and realized that she had her headphones in and was out of my bedroom quickly, so she probably didn’t hear anything.
That’s fucking good. I didn’t need to embarrass myself like that. If she knew how damn much I stroked my cock with just the way she twirled her hair or from the sight of her at the stove, she’d run out of this apartment and demand her brother pick her up after he beat my ass or at least try.
I set my laptop down and went to sleep since I have to work in the morning, but I didn’t get an ounce of rest because Everly had been on my mind. Lately she’s always in my head.
Before, I could easily block her and focus on the goals I had because I felt like she was unattainable, a silly fantasy, but my family got into my head and now it’s gotten out of hand. I have to be careful or Everly will be tied to my bed getting stuffed with my big cock, begging to be free or screaming for more, depending on who in my family is correct, my sister or my cousin.
