EPILOGUE
A few months later…
Trigger
“What the fuck is she doing here?”
Shiv’s sudden intensity has me turning.
“Who?” I look in the direction of where his glare is aimed. Two seconds ago, we were all catching up and he seemed happy to be back from his “break.” Now, I’m wondering who has the man so damn worked up he looks like he’s about to hit someone. Or maybe, he’s worked up for another reason as he stares at the pretty girl who I now consider a friend.
“Chrissy’s the new girl,” I tell him. “She replaced Riley since Axle wanted his woman bedridden for the remainder of her pregnancy.”
I chuckle at the thought. My guess is it had nothing to do with Axle’s baby on the way and everything to do with his cock wanting one hundred percent of her attention.
“You need to fire her ass, Trig. That girl is bad fucking news.”
What the hell is he talking about? That girl is good people. Reliable. Hard working. Humble. And… she helped me realizewhat I needed to do to get my girl back, so I’ve got a soft spot for Chrissy and so does my wife. But maybe Shiv knows something I don’t.
“You want to elaborate because from what I’ve seen, she’s real solid, honest, and one of the best girls I’ve got working in this place now.”
He shakes his head as he practically snarls at her. “You know the bitch I’ve been telling you about? My ex?”
I nod, knowing exactly which cunt he’s talking about. The one who destroyed him and broke his heart, because apparently, he wasn’t good enough for her. His ex ran off with some corporate bastard who had money, and left my brother drowning in his pain. To this day, Shiv still isn’t over that shit. He thought she was the one. Not just thought. He believed it with every cell in his body. But he was wrong, and he’s been hurting ever since she broke him.
“Yeah, well, that’s her. Chrissy is the one.”
No Fucking Way. The hell? That girl is the last person you’d think would be shallow and cold or a money-grubbing bitch. I’m so fucking shocked by what he just said, I’ve got no clue how to respond. Damn. No wonder he’s pissed as hell and wants me to fire her ass. But the thing is, the girl I know is the complete opposite of who he’s described.
Maybe she’s changed now. Maybe she learned from her mistakes, realized that the grass isn’t greener even though it may have been a manicured lawn and had a mansion sitting on top of it. Maybe she’s back where she belongs. Back to her roots. Because the girl I know has no shame in waiting on tables or scrubbing floors. The girl I know shies away from the pretentious shits that always try to hit on her.
Yeah, whether she had a bad experience or just came to her senses, that girl has learned she doesn’t need all the frills to be happy. Because the Chrissy I’ve come to know does not have amalicious or shallow bone in her body. And until I see otherwise, she’s not going anywhere.
“Look, man. I’m not saying I’m not going to respect your wishes. But I’m down two girls at the moment and she’s all I’ve got for now. So, until I can find someone to replace her, which may take a few weeks, she’s going to be sticking around.”
I’m buying some time to have a closer look, but I think Shiv needs to have one too, because once he does, I bet he’ll see what I see. The girl from his past, in my opinion, at least deserves the chance.
“Fucking great.” He shakes his head. “I get that you have a business to run, but I’m not making any promises on my end. Don’t expect me to play nice, Trigger, because that cunt is dead to me.”
I’m about to argue that he better not make a damn scene in my bar, but my phone dings in my pocket and puts that thought on hold. I need to check to make sure my girl is okay. She was supposed to meet me up here when she was finished with her work, but she still hasn’t shown.
I open her text and my worry dissipates. In its place comes a rush of hard lust.
Nicky: Hey, honey, so my new toy just arrived, and I was wondering if you’d be able to come home now instead of me coming there. I’m dying to play with it, with you of course, and I don’t think I can wait until later.
Hell yeah. I thought I’d resent Nicky’s job and her need to play with all the toys she sells in her store, but once we agreed for her to only play while I’m present, I fucking love what she does and all those damn plastic things. Whether I’m just watching my sexy girl getting off or participating in the fun, it’s always the hottest fucking experience. I’m not sure what the new toy is since she hadn’t mentioned a new design for anything, so I’m all kinds of curious as to what I’m going to find when I get home.
“Look, Shiv. I have to get home, so we need to table this conversation for now. But we’ll talk more later. Just do me a favor and don’t go making a scene in my bar.”
I narrow my eyes on him, giving him my warning as I stand from the table to take my leave. He waves my comment off and mutters, “Fine.” I can tell he’s not happy, but I’m satisfied for now that he’ll behave. But just in case, I shoot a text to Max to keep an eye out on things for me.
I walkinto our house and my girl is nowhere to be found. She’s going to get a spanking if she’s started without me. Though, I won’t be too upset if she has. My Nick takes her punishment like a good girl, and it makes up for all of her wrongdoings. I make my way back to our bedroom and there I see her, laying down naked in our bed, cuddling up to a giant stuffed animal. Not sure when she got that thing, but it’s nearly the size of her, and it’s taking up half my bed. When I notice my girl rubbing all over the soft fury toy, I no longer care that it’s taking up my side.
“Hi, baby.” I start shedding my layers as I make my approach. “You get lonely while I was away and get yourself a big teddy bear?” The thing looks more like a grizzly bear than a sweet teddy bear, but who am I to argue with what brings my girl comfort.
She turns at the sound of my voice and the look on her face has my cock already spilling seed.
“I want you to meet Mr. Cuddles. He’s the new toy I was telling you about.”
