I watched as she walked away. I could tell what Caleb saw in her. She was fun to be around. Carefree and real. I turned around and bumped into a male body. Slowly, I raised my eyes. I saw black boots that were attached to jeans that hung low on a set of hips. The tight black tee shirt clung to an abdomen and chest as I continued to raise my eyes. My head tilted back as I finally made eye contact.
“Excuse me,” the tenor voice said as his hand grasped my elbow, steadying me. As soon as our eyes locked, my stomach hurled. I turned quickly to avoid hitting him with the contents. “Oh my God. I’m so sorry.” I turned away embarrassed as shit.
“It’s okay. Are you alright?” the voice asked. Our eyes locked again as I turned my head toward him. “Faith?”
Gabe’s hand let go of me, causing my body to hit the ground.
“Gabe.” I sat on the ground staring at him, waiting for him to say something, anything. Gabe continued to stare back at me, running his hands through his hair. “Say something.” I pleaded.
“I don’t know what to-“
“Oh my goodness, Faith, are you okay?” Kat ran up to me with the rest of the band in tow.
“I’m fine.” I glanced at Gabe, who had stood and walked away. A familiar face stuck out a hand, and I grabbed it as I lifted myself onto my feet. Jaxson held my hand as we looked at each other. Maybe this wasn't a great idea.
“What are you doing here, Faith?” he demanded.
“A job, Jaxson. I was hired to do a job.” Jax let go of my hand and threw his hands into his pockets. I turned to Kat, who was talking to Caleb. Realization fell upon her face as her mouth formed the ‘O’ sound. Fuck!
“Kat, I’m not sure this is such a good idea. I’m sorry. I-“ I turned away.
“No. It is perfectly fine. We have rented the company and the space. Now, let’s get the job done.” I watched as she stomped off toward my ex and my brother. I turned around and saw Caleb standing there.
“Caleb, I don’t want to discuss this. I knew I shouldn't have accepted the job. I don’t think Kat knew.”
“Of course she didn't. I’m not upset or angry. Listen, Faith, we all have our own burdens to bear. I know that all to well myself. You need to atone for what you did to them. For now, I am just happy to know you are safe and okay.” He smiled and waited.
“That wasn't the talk I thought I’d get from you. But, for what it’s worth, I am glad to see you happy as well.” Caleb nodded and turned as Kat’s voice boomed through set.
“Alright, ladies. Let’s get through this shoot, and then you can all go home and cry to yourselves.”
I laughed. I did like her already.
Having entered the lifestyle a few years ago, I write erotica with a preference toward BDSM themes. I enjoy exploring the emotional connection and emotions behind the D/s relationships and why we like what we like.
I always love seeing the playlists that go with books :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Of course I find nowadays I know less and less of the songs...so I really love when I recognize more than a few!
