Keelyn
Falling asleep in Kieran’s arms and waking up in them was a freeing feeling.
She loved being held in his strong arms, feeling his beard rub against her neck while he slept.
She had to pee and moved out from under his arm.
She looked around his room and found his bathroom and used it and then washed her hands.
She looked in the mirror and smiled.
Her hair was mussed up and her lipstick was a little smeared on her cheeks.
Her breasts had small marks on them from his mouth and they were red and a little tender and she saw that there was a streak of blood on her leg.
She bit her lip and came out of the bathroom to see Kieran still sleeping.
She looked at the clock and gasped, “Fuck! Oh, fuck! Kitty!”
Kitty had dropped her off at the club this morning and would be there to pick her up when she got done.
Which was now. She found a t-shirt on Kieran’s floor and slipped it over her head.
She hurried out of his room and down to where her clothes were.
She didn’t have a phone and knew that Kitty didn’t have one anyway.
She ran her hands through her hair, unsure of what to do when a throat cleared and she looked up in shock to see Kieran standing before her, wearing only a pair of black sweatpants.
He walked to her, “Were ye thinking of trying to leave me?”
She shook her head, “I just forgot about my sister. I have to get back to the club. She is supposed to come to get me. Like right now. I don’t want to leave her alone in the motel. It’s too scary for just her.”
He went still, “Motel? Ye are staying with yer sister in a motel? What kind and where?”
She shook her head, “It doesn’t matter. I just need to get back to my sister.”
He let out a growl, “Damn it Keelyn. Ye are mine. That means I am going to take care of ye. And yer sister.”
She shook her head again, “I don’t want Kitty to think I’m getting a free handout. You are the owner Kieran. The owner. Who just slept with his employee. I mean how will that look exactly?”
He snarled, “I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks. I don’t care. I only care about ye. Ye are my future and the woman I’m going to marry. So don’t give me that shit about handouts. I would give ye the damn world if ye let me.”
Keelyn tried to shake her head again and he stopped her by kissing her.
When he pulled back, she looked up, “I don’t know what to do.”
He kissed her again, “Let me help ye Keelyn. I’m not going anywhere. Let me share some of your burdens.”
She sighed, and wrapped her arms around him, “I need to get Kitty out of that motel. It’s why I started working at the club. We need money for rent.”
He shook his head, “I will give ye money, but ye aren’t finding a place to rent.”
She looked up at him, “I won’t?”
He shook his head again, “I don’t want to be without ye.”
