truth is he wouldn’t let me out of the apartment.” My heart slams in my chest. Some asshole held her against her will. What kind of fucking man was he?
“I’m not him Cher. I don’t hold you fuckin’ hostage!” She raises her eyebrows as she looks at me standing here blocking the door…...holding her hostage. FUCK! My blood runs cold as I think about what she just said. If I ever find out who did that shit to her, I will kill him.
I surprise myself with the thoughts that I have but I can’t stand the thought of some asshole hurting her.
“Cher you know that’s not what I’m doin’.” I watch her blow out a breath before she drops her arms defeated. I don’t think I like that look on her. My stomach rolls as I realize I’m the one making her feel like this.
“I know. I just can’t go back to that Tank. I’ve tried so damn hard to move away from that stuff.” This shit wasn’t about me at all. It’s about herself.
Scrubbing my hand across my face, I lean down so I’m in her face, eye level.
“The only place I want to control you is in the fuckin’ bed but you need to understand that this club is all I have of a family. We’ve been through hell and back and I won’t turn my back on them. If that’s somethin’ you don’t think you can handle I will away.” Her eyes tear up as she looks at me.
“Is that what you want?” Damn this girl. How can I make her understand that I want her? I don’t know how much damage that other fucker did to her but he has really made it hard for her to trust.
My hands come up to grip her face making her look into my eyes.
“I never said I didn’t want you Cher. You are runnin’ from my lifestyle not me. I can’t force you stay with me and I won’t even try but I can tell you that I don’t want you to go.” Watching the tears trail down her cheeks rips my heart apart. After all, she had to deal with before I can understand why she is so closed off but I’m not him.
The tears keep falling as I drag her into my chest and hold her there.
“I don’t think you understand how much you mean to me.” Whispering into her hair, I hope she gets it now.
I hold her sobbing shaking body in my arms. I have her plastered to my chest and I love every second of it. I don’t like the fact that she’s crying and afraid to let her guard down with me, but having her in my arms is like heaven.
Whether I like it or not this woman has a hold on me.
Chapter 14
Cher finally calmed down and came back to the room. I left her in the shower while I go to handle Bella for the night.
“Where’s Bella?” Walking out into the main room, I don’t see her anywhere. Creed looks around as if he thought she was there too.
“Fuck Tank. She was just in here.” Shaking my head, I know Joey was just in here too. Little shit had better not be with her. I swear that boy grates on my nerves for some reason. Maybe because he reminds me so much of myself when I was younger. No, fuck that.
“Where the fuck is Joey?” Creed chuckles but I don’t think this shit is funny. It actually pisses me off.
“Think he went down to the weight room.” Rolling my neck around I head towards the hallway and straight towards the weight room. My blood boils in my veins as I make my way down the hall. I swear I will kick his ass.
Before I get to the door, I hear Bella laughing and giggling. Beyond pissed I shove the door open and step inside.
“What the fuck you doin’ in here?” Looking dead at Bella I have to stop myself. She’s on the treadmill walking while looking at the TV. Glancing over Joey is lifting weights while looking at the TV too.
“I was just walking dad. Oh and I was showing Joey the movie me and Cher were watching.” Nodding towards the TV I shake my head. She better not be lying to me again.
Bella must notice the look on my face since she turns off the machine and stomps towards
