Page 16 of Killer
“Someone came down the road.Iheard the sound of an approaching car.Theystopped, andI was able to raise my hand.The woman helped me out of the debrisand into her car.She drove me to the nearest hospital and stayedwith me until it was time for me to leave.I couldn’t get to aphone.I was passed out.The doctors said I was suffering fromshock and what I’d been through.”
“Did the woman fall in lovewith you or something?”Killer asked.
“No, she was a married woman.Shejust helped me out.Tate comes across as a bitch, and she is abitch to a lot of people.”
Killer smirked.“She’s a bitch throughand through.”
“She’s not.I hurt Tate, and shechanged.I love her.She’s strong, but deep in her heart I see thereal her.”Murphy smiled, a secretive smile.“When we’re alone, Iknow without a shadow of a doubt how she feels about me.I’ve gotthat, Killer.Tate doesn’t hold her love back.The scars meannothing to her.”He pointed to the side of his face.“She loves me,and I held her when she cried about what could have happened.Icouldn’t bear for her to know how close I was to actually dying.Ifthat woman hadn’t come down when she did, I’d be dead.”
Turning toward Tiny’s office,Killer knew part of what Murphy was talking about.If anythinghappened to his woman, he’d be dead inside.He lovedKelsey, andhe fucked up completely.His brothers could say all they wantedabout Kelsey being at fault, but it didn’t change his own feelingstoward what he did.The woman he’d been with meant nothing tohim.
Lash walked up, glaring at him.“Whatthe fuck is she doing here?”
“What?”Killer lookedaround.Angel wasn’t in sight.
“Kelsey.I heard what thebitch has done.I don’t give a fuck what Angel says, she shouldn’tbe here.”Lash looked ready to commit murder.
“Back the fuck off.She’s mywoman, Lash.I mean it, back off.”Killer glanced around theclubhouse, and all of his brothers were glaring toward the doorwhere Kelsey was.He’d never seen their anger before.They all hadhis back.“Why haven’t the others said anything?”heasked.
“They’re giving you space.Theydon’t like her being here, but you come first, not her.”Lashslapped him on the back.
“I appreciate it.Tell them toback off.I love Kelsey, and I will not have anyone say shit toher.”
“Will do.”Lash moved away goingto talk with the others.Killer was shocked by their support but humbled byit.
Turning back to Murphy, he saw theother man was smiling.“What the fuck are you smilingat?”
“You, you look shocked.I toldyou it was like this, man.We’re a family, and she’d hurtyou.”
“Let it be.This is betweenKels and me.I’ll sort everything out.”
Murphy held his hands up.“I’mon the fence.I love Tate, but I agree with Lash.Bitch should be on herknees begging for you.”
Killer shock his head.“It’s not going tohappen.”He didn’t like being the topic of their conversation.Quickly changing the subject, he turned the conversation towardMurphy.“You’re happier than ever before now,” Killersaid.
“That I am.Tiny doesn’twant to kick my ass for sleeping with his daughter.Here, have ahold of my son.”Simon was placed into his arms.
Murphy and Tate’s son had thesame name as Devil’s child.Tate loved the name Simon and had demanded her sonbe called it, regardless of Devil’s son already having thename..
Killer was a largeman, and he’dnever held a baby before in his life.“Fuck, Murphy, what do Ido?”
“Hold him close.Keep hishead secure and smile at him.Don’t glare otherwise you’ll have himscreaming and Tate will kill me.He’s got a good set of lungs onhim.”
Staring down at the sweet innocent face,Killer knew how important it was to have such innocence in hisarms.Kelsey held a matured innocence, and he’d squashed on herwith his violence and words.
“You’ll make it right withKelsey.Don’tfeel guilty about what you did.You got it out of your system.Tateis helping you out.She’s in talks with the lawyer, and I’m surethey’ll be meeting soon enough,” Murphy said.
“Thank you.”
Murphy burst out laughing.“You lookpetrified.You’re not going to break my boy.He’s a big strappingyoung man.”
Killer chuckled.What would Kelseylook swollen with his child?His cock thickened once again.She’dmake one amazing mother.Her caring went straight to her core.He’dseen how loving she could be.The lies were another thing.He’dnever asked about her being married, and she’d never brought it up.Why the fuck would he bring up her being married?She lived likeshe was single, and she didn’t even own a ring to prove otherwise,at least not that he saw.Shit, he had to get this marriage crapsorted out before he lost his mind.Killer thought about all thesweet things she did that far outweighed the lies.The lies werethe biggest problem.She was married.When Tate had been strugglingtoward the end of her pregnancy, Kelsey made her homemade chocolateice-cream and waited for her until she finally went intolabor.
You ruined everything.You should havestuck around and heard the truth.
Kelsey was married because of apiece of paper.There was no other reasonshe and Michael were together.Themarriage may be real to the eyes of the law, but it wasn’t realbetween them.
He’d gone and fucked a woman hedidn’t know without even asking Kelsey about her married state.Shenever wore a ring, and in all the time they’d known each other, she hadn’ttalked about Michael once.
