“It’s his choice. Either sound perfect to me. And you and your Ol’ Lady? How are you?”
Kingpin tore his eyes from me as he answered, “Much better. It’s like after she had the babies, she woke up.” Grinning big, Kingpin seemed happy. Maybe they were having sex again. Doubtful if she just gave birth, but maybe he was looking forward to it. Maybe he’d come to his senses about us. Then his smile dropped like a stone, and I could see the anguish underneath.
My heart immediately softened. “I’m glad your baby is home. Bo is beautiful. He’s precious. I’m so sorry.”
Leaving out of the clubhouse in a hurry, I felt all the misery of our sins again. I wished I’d never submitted to him. I felt like nothing but a whore. And I knew how I hated Paisley. I hated myself with the same fervor.
Full of remorse, I decided that night to let Hallow really have me again. Running my hands over his hairy chest, his strong back, his glorious butt, and his tight abs, I told myself I preferred him. Going lower I took his stiff erection. He steered my knees apart as he worked my clit.
“I can’t take it anymore, Hallow. I want you.”
“But the doctor said to wait,” Hallow lamented.
Lordalmighty. Hallow wouldn’t do it. He was afraid of hurting me. I made a decision. “No, Hallow. I think it’s okay. My body feels good.” I couldn’t tell him it was safe because I’d had sex with Kingpin.
“Yes. You feel good.” He ran his hands down me. “But no,” he insisted we wait.
“We’ll ask again,” I said, so I didn’t give myself away. We had an appointment after Valentine’s Day.
Hallow and I got off like we had been, but I realized I was finally letting myself really get into it. Having been tempted by another, I’d not been completely with my biker. As Hallow pleasured me, I vowed to forget Kingpin altogether. Hallow had been simply perfect like he always had been before I left him on our wedding day.
Kingpin had been my terrible mistake. I’d been silly. More than that, I’d been stupid. I blamed my innocence. I’d been nothing but a virgin before Hallow. Not unaware of the ways of the world, I was inexperienced in matters of the heart. With Kingpin and I happening upon one another like we had, of course I’d attach more to our sexual act than was actually there.
I imagined myself in the garden of Eden with my Adam. Kingpin was the snake, of course tempting me. The motorcycle club president was the devil himself who had me under his spell. Who put a baby in me. Heavenly Hallow was everything. He’d been so good to me when I didn’t deserve it. Where had Kingpin been but with Sky? Kingpin asked me to lie to Hallow, take all I ever wanted. I agreed. Then he’d dangled himself in front of me like a shiny red apple. Fucking twisted shit. Just like in the bible, I’d fallen prey. I’d eaten from the tree. I’d always know the truth. I’d suffer to keep Hallow from hurting.
My grudges against Hallow all but disappeared. I thought of the other night when he admitted how upset he was, thinking he raped me. I’d been so upset at him for even suggesting he would before. But he didn’t. He wouldn’t ever. I knew that deep in my heart. It’d been the alcohol anyway. Not only did I seek to quiet his guilt, but I also didn’t want him to feel like this baby was the product of such a union.
As he spooned me, I let him know, “Hallow, I have a confession to make. That night when everyone thinks you raped me.”
All ears, he sat up a little, “Yeah?” His breath struck my ear.
I caught myself. I couldn’t tell him he didn’t rape me. He’d know the baby wasn’t his. Fuck. Kingpin, the evil had turned me into nothing but a liar. I modified my words, “It wasn’t exactly unwelcome.”
Hallow took my meaning. “But everyone has said.”
“It was all Paisley’s doing. She walked in.”
“But you were so upset.”
“About the women. I’m still upset about them. Especially Paisley.”
Guilty, Hallow said nothing about that.
“She told everyone you raped me. Including Sky who told Kingpin. I didn’t tell a soul.” That much was true.
“That motherfucker whipped me, ya know.”
I’d wondered how Hallow got the scars on his back. Usually when I asked about that sort of thing, he claimed it was club business, so I hadn’t put it all together. And motherfucker was right. I remembered the sex we’d had only a week ago.
“But those bruises on your neck?” Hallow asked.
“Oh, you did put them there. But I enjoyed it. Really,” I lied. “Had the best orgasm ever because of those bruises.” I sprinkled the truth expertly.
Hallow smirked. He liked hearing that.
The next morning, I hummed, happily as I picked up the house. The windows were open. Unseasonably warm, it was almost seventy degrees outside. Therefore, Hallow had left his leather jacket when he went on his morning motorcycle ride. Picking it up, I heard a jiggle jiggle. I reached into the inside pocket feeling like a snoop. But feeling a box, I pulled it out quick. Opening it, I saw my engagement ring. It’d escaped the slot.
Hallow had found it. Or rather maybe he’d retrieved it from Paisley. I thought about them getting close the other day in the club and felt like an idiot. He’d been getting this ring back. No, that was before I told him Paisley had it.
