“So what if he’s my fucking friend? You think I want anyone else’s fucking hands on what’s mine what the fuck do you take me for?”
“I’m sorry I didn’t think…”
“That’s just it you don’t think.” I slammed the car into drive and peeled out onto the street. Horns honked and cars swerved but I was too mad to give a shit. I turned up the radio so I wouldn’t say anything more as she sulked in her seat.
Chapter 9
We got home an hour later and I headed to the kitchen for something to eat. I was fucking starving. I made myself a turkey and Swiss on seven grain and grabbed a beer. She reached for a premade salad and joined me at the table.
“Gabe, I mean Stryker, are you going to be mad at me forever? I said I was sorry. I don’t know what else I can say.” That fiery spirit of hers was rearing its head. That’s the shit that got her into trouble in the first damn place. Nadia is a sweet, loving girl but she has a stubborn streak a mile long.
“What exactly are you sorry for Nadia? Are you sorry that you left me without warning? That you shit on everything that I’ve done and try to do for us?”
“I didn’t mean to…”
I finished my sandwich and got up from the table leaving her there alone. The night had gone to shit for me already and I wasn’t in the mood for more bullshit.
“Won’t you at least talk to me? Just hear me out that’s all I ask.”
“You mean like you did for me? I don’t think so. I don’t think you understand what it is that you’ve done. I chose you as my wife, you. I’ve spent my life trying to be honorable and to be a standup guy. In one afternoon you stripped me bare and left me to bleed out. Until you understand what the fuck that means we have nothing to talk about. I’m going upstairs I’ll meet you in the guestroom in five minutes don’t be late.”
“Why can’t I sleep in our bed?”
“You didn’t mind sleeping elsewhere for the past two weeks. You don’t get into my bed again until I say so.” Let her make of that what she will. I didn’t expect her to disobey me as I went upstairs and took a hot shower to wash away the day.
She wasn’t in the room when I went in looking for her.
“Nadia?”
She didn’t answer me and she was nowhere in sight, upstairs or down. My heart started to thump until I remembered that she couldn’t escape. There was no way for her to get off the grounds without me.
I saw soft light coming from the outside pool area and that’s where I found her. She was sitting with her head resting on her bent knees her head facing away from me. I felt a pang of sadness seeing her there like that, so lost and alone. I pushed the feeling aside forcefully, this was just another way of disobeying me. The continuous struggle we’ve had in the last few months, of her fighting me every step of the way.
“Didn’t you hear me calling you?”
“I’m not sleeping in that bed again. I’ll rather stay out here until the sun comes up.”
“Get in the house…Now.” She turned furious eyes my way but her fury was no match for mine. Her problem is that she wanted to hash things out now on her terms and because I wasn’t willing to play along, she decided to play the spoilt brat. Well that was too damn bad. Whether she wanted to or not, we were going to do things my way. No more equality bullshit, she didn’t know what to do with it. I treated her as my equal and what did she do? She fucked our happiness away over bullshit. Now she could deal with me on my terms or not at all. I was pissed enough to throw that ultimatum out at her but not yet. There was still a whole lot left to do before I went there.
“Inside now.”
She got up in a huff and brushed pass me into the house. I followed on her heels all the way up the stairs until we reached the guestroom. She stood there not moving and not looking at me, but that was okay. I didn’t need her to look at me for what I had in mind.
“Get them off.” She glared at me as her hands moved to the buttons of her blouse. She took her time disrobing, as I stood there naked, my cock hard and ready. It would serve her right if I took her without preparing her first, but no. Tonight with my anger somewhat cooler than the night before, I didn’t have it in me to be that rough with her again. I waited until she was through before walking over to her. Brushing her hair off her neck I started with soft kisses behind her ear. My fingers traced the outside of her breast as I licked and sucked on the skin of her neck. I felt tension leave her body slowly as I ever so gently lifted her lips to mine. Soft nibbles from her lips to her ears and back again. I laid her on the bed coming down fully on top of her my hands caressing her body until I came to her heat.
