Chapter 41 Make Our Last Moment Count
In a way, my world has just come to light and yet it has also ended.
From behind this crazy maniac called Angelo, there is someone that is stepping from outside the woods. Now,? you do not even have to light it up for me, that elegant body this is moving like a tiger through the brush, that is my princess.
I cannot even begin to describe how relieved I am to see her. What else I am seeing is that she has a very rather intimidating gun in her hand, now I do not know, "Prin"…fuck…Vic is still going to kill me. So rather surprising from behind her comes a great deal of Vic s men that should be at this moment attacking Karlo at his home. Guess there is one thing that Vic did right during this crazy time and that is to let someone know where he was going. But how…
I don t care how…all I care is that she is okay.
And as I rise to my feet with the incredible pain that is shooting to the edges of the bullet, making it feel even deeper, I drop to the floor again. I see as she wants to rush to my side to help me. The question begs, did she hear as Angelo told her father, or is she just scared to show any affection?
Ya, whichever one…I will never see Trinity again.
So once the circus is coming to an end each side is once again declaring war on the other, and let us not forget that they remind Vic and Alexa who Trinity has been promised to the day that she steps up as Queen.
My heart…well it just dies there and I walk away in defeat.
Mason, who is pretty much as beaten up as I come over to where I am barely standing. "Guess we have matching parts."
I only but fucking punch the asshole as the rest of my men come to join in. There is a mixture of fear of the unknown as we have all just been booted and the fear of what Vic will be doing to me. Well, that I shall see later, I will be collecting my belongings myself and not be a coward and let someone else do it for me. But first…
"Jax gets someone to fucking remove this bullet."
And as the agonizing words leave my lips, I watch as Trinity comes rushing over to me. But just as she comes within an arm s reach there is the firm voice of Vic, "Trinity, let s go home."
"But daddy," I watch her as she still tries to protest, "Daddy Colton got hurt."
"He can be glad I don t fucking kill him," her head snaps into his direction as she does not understand, but when she looks at me and I only nod, her face drops and I know that her heart is sitting in her shoes, the very place that you can find mine.
So she gives me a smile that does not quite reach her eyes and turns away from me. This shall be the late time that I shall ever see her, so I take in every curve that moves as the floats through the air. I can see her long brown locks wave in the wind and play over her shoulders. By the little nods her head makes, I know that she is crying. She will cry as long as the rain is allowing her to. Slowly she starts to disappear out of sight, she becomes nothing but a little ant, and then finally she is whisked into an SUV with Vic. I guess from now on he will put a tighter grip on her.
Ya, this has turned into a fucking mess.
If only I got to Trinity before Angelo got to us then none of this would have become known. I guess in a way Alexa s wicked plan in breaking Trinity and me apart has worked. She might not have married off her son, but she will still one day get a chance.
As for me…none.
After finally getting ourselves mobile again, we stop past a friend who is also a doctor that normally helps us out with pesky little bullets that find themselves in all the wrong places. Once he has stitched us up and given us the good to go, Jax sets of to the safe house to fetch the gear that we have there, and Mason and me, well, we make the dreadful trip to the Stone Mansion.
Now normally I would drive into the driveway rather confident, but this time I am rather scared shitless. But I have come to the one conclusion that Vic will never understand. He can do to me whatever he pleases, it will not stop the fact that I love his daughter and that I am probably the only fucking good thing that has happened to her.
If there was war before, our little gettogether has just made it tenfold worse. I hate to think this, but I wish him luck with someone that will protect his daughter the way I would. Yes, so I banged the boss s daughter, but not once did it affect my ability to keep her safe.
So pushing everything aside that I think that Vic will say and do to me, I get out of the car confident. Yes, I don t give a fuck if he punches me, but that is not what I think at I come to stand by the front door. Now never had I have to knock to come inside, but I shall try to be polite and convince him that I am still a goddamn person.
It is with a very hesitant trembling finger that I reach out for the buzzer. I know it will take Vic about fifty seconds to get to the door if he is in his office. But if he is in the kitchen it would open…round…about…now…
"Colton!"
"Hey princess, is your dad here?"
I can see the small little droplets of tears growing on her face as she realizes that I am not here for her. If she only fucking knew that I am. I don t give a shit about my gear, I was hoping that there was one last chance that I can see her.
As she realizes that I am staring into her brown eyes with my very own that is drowning, she wipes her cheeks clean just in time for Vic to make his way to the door. Well if I thought I might be an ounce of hope welcome, ha! I am fucking pleasantly proven mistaken.
"What. Do. You. Want?" as he drags his words out to show authority, I only but think to myself that earlier today you were nothing but a fucking coward that hid behind a bodyguard that is so wrong for his daughter. Though I did not come here to show disrespect, so I shall know to keep my place.
"I just want to get my gear Vic and I will be on my way."
He gives me a once-over with what I can say is only disgust in his eyes. "You have five minutes." Then he turns to Trinity that has not moved but an inch away from where she is standing next to me. "Trinity, go to your room."
With that a deep anger grows inside of me, how the fuck can you treat your daughter like that. She is a grown woman and yet you treat her like a child. I wish I was the one that found her in those woods for we would be far away by now. But yes, the man only cares about what he can control. So as he is just about to order her again, his phone rings and as usual he disappears off into his office. Mason goes to the back to fetch our shit from there and I, well I need to make the long agonizing walk to the room that finds itself next to that of Trinity.
And ya, agonizing it is for the girl is not even trying but she is swaying those goddamn hips like she always sways it on purpose. God, I wish that I could have my hands right up that dress caressing those very damn hips.
FUCK.
Nice going Colton, you have just earned yourself an uncomfortable hard-on. She knows what she is doing to me and I know that my discomfort has just earned her the biggest smile on her face that she so deserves.
I am going to fucking miss this girl.
Yet, I know that we have been here before and we have come back together, this time, this time that won't happen.
So as she disappears into her room, I drop my head and try not to make that contact that I so desperately want to make. The less we say, the better.
But as I start to pack what little of my belongings there is, I know that I cannot live with that. So with bags in hand, I burst through that goddamn door that we had to keep locked so often and I step right into her room. She only but sits upright and looks at me confused, "What is wrong Colton?"
"Princess, I cannot just leave like that. I want you to know that I love you and it will be the last thing I will ever do."
With a waterfall that is bursting its banks and erupting down my cheeks, I pull her closer to the warmth of my body. If this is going to be the last time then we better make it count. So as I push her into that door that I have done so many times before,
I hear her softly whisper my name, "Colton."
"Ssshh princess. Just a minute."
She closes her eyes and she leans her head back against the door and lets me roam her neck. I cannot keep it in anymore. I crave her, just that one last touch. Just the one last time to please her to take her body to a height of pleasure
As my lips run slowly down from the tip of her ear down the bare of her neck to the edge of her shoulder, I can see her body slightly shiver. I know it's not from the cold of the night but the intensity of my touch.
My lips roll down her shoulder to her collarbone, I stop and take a deep breath. I part my lips and slightly let my tongue out to lick her. I gasp as her sweetness fills my mouth; my god how good she tastes. I can hear her moan as I do it again. She knows her fingers in my hair and pulls my face closer.
Then we begin to close the gap even more than before. What begins as a small peck becomes more passionate. The rest of the world spins so fast it becomes non-existent. I lean even further into her and my body melts into hers. It is as if I can feel a fire blazing within me, out of control. We are completely and utterly in sync at this very moment.
She presses her lips against mine even harder. Lightning passes through me. I feel lost in a different universe and she is slowly taking me away. Her cold hand creeps from my neck down my spine and pulls me closer. Her touch makes my body shiver. Her delicate, innocent kiss makes my heart flutter. Then it races. My body surrenders.
As we pull away from each other, I look deep into those big brown eyes and I know what I need to do.
"Please come with me Trinity, please let us go away from here."
She looks at me slightly puzzled, "Like away, run away?"
"Yes, please." I look at her with desperation in my eyes. "I cannot live without you."
I wait for her to answer but yet she remains quiet for a little longer. Then from downstairs, I can hear Mason calling for me. I turn back to her with even more urgency in my eyes than before, "Come with me. I will come to wait for you tomorrow down the road at the place where we had our second kiss."
