Page 35 of Killer
“You tried to killyourself—”
“To get away from you.Youhold that bloody contract over me like a lifeline.I made a mistakein marrying you.Can’t you see that?”
He pulled back.She was sure she saw angerreflected in his eyes.Kelsey didn’t care.Neither of them wassuited to each other.
“Do you want to see yourfriend?”he asked.
“Yes.”
“Then I will go and get her.”Hestopped at the door, glancing back at her.“Be warned, Kels, I’mnot letting you go.There is nothing and no one to stop me takingwhat’s mine, and that’s what you’ll always be, mine.”
He left in the next second.She wouldnever be his.
Tugging on the restraints she let outa frustrated sigh.Getting out of bed would be a welcome escape forthe time being.The silence was killing her.She wasn’t allowed atelevision either.The only company she’d been given wasMichael.
Sandy snuck in when she could.It sucked.Being in the hospital sucked more than anything else she couldthink of.
Minutes passed before the door finallyopened.Tate stood in front of Michael.
“Honey, Jesus fucking Christ, youscared me,you silly bitch,” Tate said, charging toward her.
Kelsey stayed still on the bed as Tategathered her in close.
“How could you do that?”Tate asked, pulling away.
She was shocked to see the tearspouring down Tate’s face.“I’m sorry.”
“You should be.I can’tbelieve you did that.What was I supposed to do if you fucking diedon me?”Tate glanced behind her.“You can fuck off and leave us totalk in peace.”
“This is my wife.Others may letyou take charge, but don’t even think of doing it to my wife.”Michael stepped up beside her, covering the window.“I’ll be backsoon.Business is calling to me.”
He kissed her lips once again.Shedidn’t respond staying still.Holding her breath she waited for himto leave before turning back to Tate.
“Why did you let him kissyou?”Tate asked.
“He causes problems.Idon’t want to give him a reason to hurt you or theclub.”
“We’re a family, Kels.Hewon’t be getting to us.We’re banding together to find out thetruth about him.”Tate stroked her head.“I was so fuckingscared.”
“I’m so sorry.”
“You keep saying it.Stop.Why didn’t you call me?I’ll be there for you whenever you needme.”
“I reacted, and I shouldn’t.”Kelsey pulled onher hand showing Tate what she meant.“I hate this.I’m trapped andcan’t get away.”
“No talk of getting away.We’ll all take care of you.Killer is handlingeverything.”
Biting her lip, she looked at her bestfriend.“He’s talking about having me moved from here to live withhim.”
“What?Live with Killer atthe club?I’ve told him to start looking for a place to stay.There’s no way you’re staying at the clubhouse with all that shitgoing on.You’re still a virgin, right?”
Her cheeks felt on fire.“Yes, I’m still avirgin.I’m not talking about Killer.This is all coming fromMichael.”
“He can’t take youaway.”
“Not yet.I’m in too delicate acondition.”Kelsey rolled her eyes.“He’s feeding me now, too.I’vespent more time in his company in the last day than I have in theentire time we’ve been married.”She laughed then stopped feelingclose to losing it.
“You’re not alone anymore.Do you want me to call your family?”
