She loved Hallow. Her words rang through my head, “Not in a million years.” Obviously, we were a mistake. Again. I had an out. I could right a wrong. The wrong of having Eve two times.
Besides, I was married to Sky, the liar. A liar was what I deserved. Not Eve. Sky made sure to remind me she was as ruthless as me, showing up at Royal Road nightly to make more of a fool of me. Yet, I wanted her. Especially as I avoided Eve. I longed to have the fantasy of her. My Sky, as she was before, before I knew of her lies. Furthermore, she was mine, technically. My wife. My Ol’ Lady. She loved me unlike the other woman I’d banished from my mind.
Soon, I made up my mind. If I couldn’t have Eve, I would have Sky again. I’d grieved our perfect love long enough. Nothing was perfect, but it could be right again, someday. When I’d almost given into my Ol’ Lady. When I decided we’d work things out somehow, Sky would be mine, but our relationship wouldn’t be the same, the unimaginable happened.
My Ol’ Lady almost lost her life on account of me. A woman I’d scorned took her hatred of me out on my bride. Not only that, Sky also almost lost our baby. I begged a God I didn’t worship to give me another chance. Guilt consumed me, erasing my bitterness toward her, almost completely.
Waiting for Sky to recover, I exiled Eve even further from my mind. I focused on my future with Sky. We had a second chance. I planned to make the most of it. Maddie Mae and I made amends on account of her daughter as well. Almost losing her was the kick in the ass we both needed. I promised to be the husband Sky deserved. She promised to be the mother Sky needed. I found out my wife wasn’t just having my baby, she was having my twins, removing any fears that her babies weren’t mine. After all, me and my stupid brother were twins.
All the while, the singer haunted my nights, in my dreams. And when I woke in the middle of the night in a pool of sweat, she was all I could think of as well.
With Sky trapped in the hospital, I could’ve run to Eve’s bed on so many occasions. I fought the fleshly urges for Sky alone. I fought for months. Practically living at the hospital made it much easier to avoid the temptations of Royal Road altogether. Therefore, with my wife finally home to the Big House, pregnant with my twins and us happy, I should’ve never ended up on Eve’s doorstep.
After hearing the news, I left Church on a mission to get answers. I banged on her door louder than the police with a battering ram. Eve opened up in a panic. When she saw me, her expression became even more alarmed.
“Hell fire and darnation! What are you doing here?” Eve scolded me.
The fear written on her face only turned me on, but it quickly faded. Her fear, not the hard on. I’d missed her pissed off glare. Her blonde wavy hair wrenched into a messy bun, exposed her long porcelain neck. Pristinely free of blemishes, it had healed nicely. Of course, it had. It’d been months since I had her. Months since I choked her to a mind-blowing orgasm. Yoga pants and an oversized Jackie’s Heroes’ t-shirt covered the rest of her skin, but she still draped her arms around herself as if to hide.
I, on the other hand, had gone to Church sans shirt, pulling on only my cut and leather pants like I often did. I figured if I had them, I might as well show off my tats and piercings. Eve’s eyes fluttered over the crow etched across my chest.
“What is this about, you not singing on Halloween?” I asked her, point blank.
“Kingpin. You ain’t supposed to be here,” she said in such an accusatory tone, it would easily give our past away. Eve wore her emotions on her sleeve and was too honest for her own good. It was one reason I had to avoid her at all costs.
But she was right. I shouldn’t be there. Glancing behind me, I made sure no one saw me standing on her porch.
“What’s wrong? You got the vapors?” Was she just nervous again?
“No.”
“Boys say this has been going on for a month now. You not performing.” I wanted answers.
Closing her eyes, Eve took a mouthful of air. I watched her chest rise and fall a bit too closely and realized she was hugging herself because she didn’t have on a bra. My dick responded more than it had to the sight of her.
Fuck. Why did she do this to me? I let my anger out on her. “What do you think I pay you for?”
“You can stop paying me,” Eve bit back.
“You can’t stop singing on account of me. What will everyone think?”
Eve yipped, “It's not all about you. Or about you and me. I’d have to feel better to die.”
“Take something then. The show has to go on. A singer has to go on. We have Royal Bastards coming from all over for Halloween, and I promised them greatness.”
Eve rolled her brown eyes.
“Is this about Hallow?” I asked. I heard he’d gone back to his ex-girlfriend for good. Eve was single. She’d not been seen with another man for months. God was playing a sick joke on me. All I had wanted was Sky to live. He’d given me that much. She lived, but Eve was all alone and right under my nose.
The woman scowled. Turning her back to me, she stepped into the house and said, “I'm sure you've heard that he's still with Steph. It doesn't bother me none. Like I said. I’m all stoved up. I can’t sing.”
I followed her in, shutting the door behind me.
Big mistake.
Nibbling my lip, I went to her and wrapped my arms around her from behind. Grabbing her unshackled titties, I said into her hair, “You feel fine to me.”
Protesting, Eve turned in my arms. “Holler fire and save the matches,” she exclaimed.
