FIGHT Part 1 (12 page)

“Fuck, Red. Every damn rule.” I murmur as I nibble on her neck, feeling the goose bumps rise on her skin.

“What?” she pushes back from me, and that’s when I realize I said it out loud. Shit. “What do you mean..’rule’?” she narrows her eyes at me, and I can see in them that we won’t be having as good of a night as I originally hoped.

“Shit I didn’t mean to say that....it’s just been a stressful night.” I sigh and roll off of her, effectively killing the mood. I feel a fight coming, which pissed me off even more than the fact I just beat the shit out of someone for the first time in my life and I don’t regret it. I’d do it all over again if it meant keeping her safe. The thought scares me and pisses me off. I shouldn’t be dealing with this, I shouldn’t have had to do that. All because I fell in love with a fighter, breaking the two most important rules of my life.

“No, you did. And you need to tell me what you are talking about, Eddie. Every time my job comes up you turn into a fucking bastard, spouting off nasty shit about how it’s stupid. Then you go and say something as cryptic as that right after what we just went through? I think I deserve an explanation,” She demands. She has a point, but I can’t do it. I can’t open up to her, tell her my stupid reasoning for all of my fears in life. Hell, I’d only opened up to one other person about my past, and that was after knowing him for years.

“This isn’t something that’s up for discussion right now, Gwynn.” I sit up, ready to get off the bed when she speaks again, angry this time. Damnit she’s sexy when she’s angry.

“The fuck it is. You pull me half way across the fucking country and then when all hell is about to break lose you cut me off. That easy, huh?”

“No not ‘that fucking easy!’ You just don’t get it do you!?” I yell. She doesn’t move when I yell at her, and all I can imagine is the way my mother would flinch every time my father yelled. Red doesn’t flinch. She isn’t afraid of me, but maybe she should be. Did she not see what I am capable of doing tonight?

“Then enlighten me!!” she yells back, giving just as much to this argument as I am. I groan, pacing the room. If I stay, if we try to make this work, I’d be putting the woman I have fallen in love with in danger the rest of her fucking life. If I walk away, I’ll be miserable the rest of my fucking life. There’s no easy way out.

“FUCK! This is why I don’t do..THIS..” I motion between the two of us and her face falls, broken almost. “Because it fucking sucks, and I’m not built for this Red! I can’t fucking turn into him!”

Then I storm out of our hotel room, needing to get the hell away from her before I do something stupid.

That’s it for part 1!
