This is the exact reason why I never want to leave here. There’s so much love everywhere and it’s so unlike the way I was raised. I would love to raise my son in a world like this, where everyone pulls together. Three men I’ve only known for a month came to my defense in seconds. They didn’t care they were facing an armed man who was as big as they were. That says a lot. Not only did they allude to knowing who my father is, but it didn’t seem to bother them either. Nothing here is about being selfish. Instead it’s about working together and making sure everybody is taken care of. It’s a simple life, but it’s filled with happiness and love. How much more could you really want or need?
Tia joins Mrs. C in giving me a kiss on the cheek. I know she’s not done talking to me and she’s going to want so many more details, but she’ll wait until we’re alone.
I walk them to the door, where I see Ford and Van waiting outside. I give a small wave before I shut the door behind them. I stay true to my word and take a bath, but I know I’m only preparing myself to go see him. I can’t help but still want to pretty myself up for Hawk and remind him of what he walked away from that morning at the hotel.
I’ll never be able to sleep without getting answers to all my questions. A darker part of me knows I won’t have peace if I can’t touch him and have him touch me.
I pull on my sneakers before grabbing a small flashlight and slipping out of my cabin. This time I’m going to be the one to find Hawk. Not only that but he won’t be able to disappear on me now. Maybe by the time we’re done talking I’ll wish for nothing more than just that.
Chapter 4
Hawk
There’s hardly any light in this cell and I can hear the crickets chirping outside. There’s a small window beyond the bars and I can see the moon high in the sky through the trees. I pace back and forth, feeling like a caged animal ready to break free. I’m trying to stay calm and wait because I know that’s what Piper would want me to do. The thought of her alone and upset is almost too much for me to bear.
The sound of creaking has me stopping in my tracks and turning to face the door. Even in the dim light I can make out the shape of my Piper. I move to the bars and grip them tight.
“Muñeca,” I breathe, flooded with relief at just the sight of her.
“I don’t know why I came.” She closes the door behind her and slowly walks toward me. “I must be crazy.”
“Are you hurt?” She comes within reach of me and I wish I could rip these bars in half and climb out of this cell.
“Not physically.”
“What does that mean?” Anger courses through me at the thought of her not being okay.
She lets out a deep breath and takes another step closer. “Why are you here, Hawk? Did my father send you?”
“Come here,” I say, reaching out for her.
The moonlight silhouettes her face and I can see the hesitation in her eyes. “If I touch you I’ll lose all sense of myself.”
“I’d never let that happen.” As if her legs have a mind of their own she steps forward even when she doesn’t think she should.
“You left me,” she whispers softly as I reach through the bars and wrap my arm around her waist.
“I’m here now.” I pull her to the cool steel and press my body against hers just to feel a fraction of her heat. “I need you, muñeca. Unlock me and ease my ache.”
“I-I don’t have a key.” She looks up at me and I feel her hands through the bars as she touches my chest.
“It’s been so long, I don’t think I can wait for you to find it.”
My hands slide around her hips and then to her ass, where I squeeze the soft round mounds. Her loose sleep shorts are soft, and I slide one hand up them to feel her bare ass.
“Only this little bit of cloth protecting you?” I say as my fingers dip into the sticky warmth between her legs. “It’s like you knew I’d be doing this.”
My other hand goes to the front and slides over her swollen belly and into her bare cunt. Soaking wet heat coats my fingers as I play between her folds and strum her clit.
“Hawk.” She inhales sharply when I slide a finger into her ass at the same time I pinch her little pearl.
“We both know this is what you came for.” Through the bars I watch her face flush and her eyes close as pleasure takes over her body. “Pull your shirt up. I need you in my mouth.”
