Until Fools Find Gold (Providence Gold 1)

“He did it,” Gramps gestured to me with his chin, copying Levi’s pose with his arms across his chest. Admittedly, my grandad looked like the fit forty-year-old he acted like.

Everyone turned in my direction, but it was my mother who narrowed her eyes and glared at me.

“Okay,” Grams hummed, breaking the death glare from Mom. “When are we going? What do I wear?”

At that moment, Luna groaned and woke back up again. Thanks to what her father had told us, the police had arrested the other two people who had been expecting their turn with her. All of them, her father included, were going away for a long time– well after they’d healed from their injuries. Her father’s crotch being repeatedly hit by a baseball bat meant that he may well be pissing through a tube for life.

Ask me if I cared!

There was one silent person in the room, his gaze solely focused on his sister. To say that Madix was pissed about everything that had happened was an understatement.

“So, Madix,” my mother spoke up, walking over to his side. He was almost the same height as her even sitting down. “Are you going to move near your sister? We have a spare house that doesn’t get used a lot.”

After a couple minutes, he turned his glare on me, an evil smile tugging at his mouth.

“You know what, I think I’ll take y’all up on that!”

Oh, fuck!

LunaI had a week left with my jaw wired shut. I’d lost nineteen pounds, hadn’t cleaned my teeth properly in weeks and I was horny– really horny. They’d given me this mouthwash to help me clean my teeth, but nothing beat getting your toothbrush in there and scrubbing them like a dish!

I could also tell you how to puree almost any meal or food item, and I’d also tell you not to ever do it because it was freaking disgusting.

I’d been begging Noah for sex for weeks, telling him through wired teeth that it wouldn’t hurt me. They’d taken the elastic thing out of my mouth a week ago and left the wire in place for the last two weeks. I’d figured he’d be okay after they’d removed it because it meant that I was almost healed and doing well. But no, he stuck to his stubborn asshole guns.

For God’s sake, it’s not like my mouth was going to be involved, even though I was pissed about that fact too. I hadn’t been able to kiss my husband properly the whole time – not that I’m sure I’d have wanted to, given I couldn’t brush my teeth properly and there were parts of your mouth that you had to be able to brush.

But I missed not being able to kiss him, hugely!

He was stubborn though and refused to give in. I’d even tried jumping on him when he was asleep, but all he did was peck me on the forehead and turn us over so he could spoon me.

Which led me to now– doing the laundry, horny as hell. I was the definition of desperate.

It was on the properly shuddery part of the load in the machine that a thought struck me. Checking that no one else was around in our house, I closed the door of the laundry room and then maneuvered my way on top of the machine.

I couldn’t help it, I’d never felt so out of control in my life– which, considering how it had gone was saying a lot!

Thankfully, I’d put on jersey shorts after my shower which with my weight loss were so loose around my hips, I had to pull the little string really tight to keep them up. So, all I had to do to act out my plan was stick my hand down the front, make a few adjustments, and then I hit the motherland.

“Shit,” was what I tried to say, but it came out, “shhddd,” thanks to the wiring and the machine shuddering away.

It didn’t match my husband at all, but it would do for now. Then the machine started to really vibrate under me, and I let out a muffled squeal as I came. I was that charged, it had only taken five minutes of laundry to get me to come. It was as wrong as it was impressive.

I’d just pulled my hand back out and was catching my breath when the door to the room slammed open and Levi walked in with a frown on his face.

“Hey, did you just get off?”

I looked around the room for cameras, freaking the hell out. If he had seen, I was gonna freaking die of humiliation. Die!

There was only a tiny window in the utility room, and even though it was a big room, he was still standing in the doorway, so I’d have to squeeze past him to get out and run to the highway.
