Chapter 8 - Killer

Start from the beginning
                                    

Just like I am right now. With my Cupcake, I don't even think about the horrors of my past or the nightmares that plague my mind all the time.

I give a curt nod to Don then walk to the black truck Tank's waiting in, cracking my joints on the way.

"Change your shirt. It stinks." Tank laughs when I open the passenger door, making me groan and go to the back of the car.

"You're the one that didn't give me a chance to take a shower." I take a towel from the trunk, wiping off the sweat from my torso before putting on a spare shirt.

"Don't say you don't want to go back yet. I saw the way you're with Katherine. – I glare at him, making him chuckle – Don't get me wrong, it's good to know you're finally getting over what happened." I look out the window, avoiding the topic. Tank is the only one that knows what happened while I was still in the army and why I'm the way I am, but I don't want him to feel like he has to watch over me all the time.

"What are you trying to say, Tank?"

"I'm not saying anything. I just wanted to tell you that I'm happy for you. I never thought that I'd see you so... soft." I punch his shoulder harshly when I see him trying to stifle his laugh.

"Still think I'm soft?" I mock with a smirk.

Tank only laughs, shaking his head. "That fucking hurt! You better hope Treasure doesn't see the bruise. She's been extremely hormonal lately and I'm not sure even you would want to face her when she's angry."

"Angry pregnant woman? No thank you, I'm not suicidal." I shudder at the thought. If there's anyone that I would refer to as 'scary' it would be a pregnant woman. They're unpredictable and that makes them dangerous.

"That's new. – Tank gives me a inquisitive glance – But I'm glad to hear it." He pats my shoulder then turns back to the road.

I know exactly why he's so surprised.

I tried to kill myself before.

More than once.

I used to think about ending my life number of times, but now... I can't imagine that. I have Cupcake to come back to; I can't afford getting hurt or killed. My Cupcake would be sad.

At least I hope so. She did say she likes me, but I wonder how would she react if something happened to me. I know for sure that I would go crazy if anything happened to her. I would destroy anyone who as much as touched her, I would kill anyone that dared hurt her.

Thanks to Tank speeding, we reach the clubhouse in record time. We were supposed to go back tomorrow, but I'm guessing Prez didn't want to stay away from his woman for too long. I understand the feeling.

"I'm going for a shower." I announce as I walk down the hallway to my room while Tank heads to his. It's almost 4 am, so I'm half expecting Katherine to walk out of her bedroom. I noticed she always wakes up extremely early.

After I'm done with the shower, I go back to the common room, needing a drink. I'm guessing everyone's asleep, since there's no one here. As I sit in silence, I catch some noise from the basement.

Not minding that I have no shirt on, I go to what Maggie calls the 'beauty room', where I'm met by the sight of sleeping Treasure and a bunch of drunken girls. One of them is none other than Cupcake.

"Oh, look who's here!" One of the girls exclaims happily, slowly sauntering towards me. Before she can reach me, she's shoved away by Cupcake. I stare shocked as my sweet little Katherine clutches onto my arm possessively.

"Back off, witch. He's mine!" She slurs, snuggling into my side.

The girl pouts but walks away. I look down at my Cupcake, smiling when I see her already staring at me. "You're so handsome" She sighs dreamily, making me chuckle. I don't do anything as my cute girl runs her hands all over my chest and stomach, giggling happily as she does it. She's so fucking cute!!!

After she decides she's done groping me, she puts her arms around my waist and presses her face against my chest, giggling quietly. "Your hair tickles."

I only chuckle at her. She's adorable. "Why don't we take you to bed, hmm?" I cup her face gently staring into those sweet green eyes.

"But I'm not sleepy yet!" She whines, pouting at me.

"So what do you want to do?" I smile softly.

She seems to think about it for a moment, just staring at my chest. I noticed she does it a lot, especially when I'm shirtless.

I hear someone walk behind me then sigh in relief when he reaches the room.

"Should've known she'd be here." Tank laughs quietly. He goes straight to Treasure's sleeping form, sitting beside her on the couch. He takes out his phone and calls someone, while I keep standing in the doorway with Cupcake glued to my front.

"Hey Jared, sorry to wake you up... Can you come pick up your wife? She's quite drunk." He laughs, glancing around the room. Samantha, Blake's mother, and Maggie are dancing on the bar that stands by a wall, with few women cheering them on while another few girls are passed out on the massage chairs in the corner. Those women know how to party, that's for sure.

"Killian? Killy? My bear? My furry baby?" Small fingers scratch my chest, getting my attention. I look back at Katherine, who's been running her fingers over my chest, scratching it like a kitten that wants something.

"Bear? Furry baby? – I laugh – Where did that come from?"

"You're so hairy and big... - Cupcake giggles, threading her fingers through my chest hair pointedly – Like a bear."

"Is that so? – I stroke her cheek gently – What is it, my sweet?"

"I want to go to bed." She quietly says, like it's a big secret.

"Alright then. – I pick her up bridal style, cradling her to my chest – As my lady wishes."

"Wait. – she puts her hands around my neck, leaning up to my ear – I want to go to your bed." She whispers before pressing her lips behind my ear. Fucking hell! Does she even know what she's doing to me?!

"You're drunk, I don't think this is a good idea." I try to negotiate, walking out of the room, but she stays quiet. I notice Tank picking Treasure up and going behind me, but I ignore him. I'm more concentrated on not coming in my fucking jeans as Cupcake keeps kissing my neck and face, running her dainty fingers over any part of my body visible.

Katherine keeps giggling and squirming in my arms as I take her to my room. She's completely drunk and I don't want to leave her alone. Who knows what can happen when she's like this.

"Killy? – Cupcake pouts sadly when I lay her on the bed – Do you like me?"

I sigh heavily, sitting beside her and cupping her small face, brushing her hair away from her eyes. "I do."

"But do you like like me?"

"I do."

"Will you get bored of me?"

"I won't."

"Will you lie with me?"

"If that's what you want."

"That's not an answer." She grumbles, burying her face in my pillow sulkily.

I only smile at her then get on the bed from the other side, spooning Cupcake's small body and tightly wrapping my arms around her. I press a loving kiss to the top of her head, making her giggle and turn around in my arms. "See? It wasn't so hard. - she teases - You're so warm." She presses her face into my chest, cuddling up to me before her breathing slows down as she falls asleep.

Soon I feel my own eyes close and I press my face to Katherine's hair, taking in her sweet scent before letting the sleep come. For the first time in years I feel it'll be a peaceful one.
