for the rest of your life.” My heart sunk when she started crying.
Pulling her into my arms, I held her tightly, knowing that there was nothing in this world I wouldn’t do to make her happy. We were more like sisters than best friends, that’s how much she meant to me. “Damn it, Kay, don’t do this, okay? I need you to let me make this decision and not feel like I have to choose between it and you.”
“I can’t help it. I’m terrified this ass wipe will hurt you and I swear to God, if he fucking does I’ll go to jail.” She sniffed and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
I had to laugh at her response, because she probably would kill him if I was hurt. In her own backwards way she’d just given me permission without even knowing it. “I’ll buy the gun.”
She laughed tearfully before breaking our embrace. “Screw the gun. I’ll get a knife so I can make him suffer more.”
I’d seen McKayla fight when push came to shove, and she wasn’t someone you wanted to cross. She was only five foot six and about a hundred and twenty pounds, but hidden in her frame was a prize fighter. Her looks were very deceiving, because had she been born into another life she could have passed for a model. “Deal.”
“So. You’re going to do this, aren’t you?” I could read the worry behind her whiskey colored eyes and hated telling her my decision.
“That kind of money is just too hard to turn down.” Outside of physically harming me, there was nothing Seth could do that I couldn’t handle.
“I still think it’s a mistake, and you better let him know that I’ll destroy him if he crosses any of your lines.” That was a close to an acceptance as I would get from her, so I nodded.
“I promise, if he does something I really don’t like, I’ll take care of him myself.” I knew I wouldn’t be able to hurt Seth, but giving her some comfort seemed like the right thing to do. I fought back my need to second guess everything about this situation with her, because I knew she’d win the argument if I did. “I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted. What’s say we get some sleep?”
McKayla reluctantly agreed and we walked back to our bedroom. The apartment we rented only had one, and we’d had no problem sleeping together. We talked for a long time in bed before exhaustion won out. After she’d fallen asleep I dreamed about the life changing decision I was making. It was part nightmare and part sexual fantasy making for a restless night.
The next morning, I felt like my body had been put through a grueling workout. My muscles ached terribly, including a certain part of my body that had never been used before. I took a long, hot bath, and that helped ease some of the kinks.
McKayla and I talked over breakfast, where she once again tried to warn me about what I could be getting in to. She’d never done any kinky stuff herself so had no insight to offer on that front. The truth was while she’d had a couple of lovers, her experience level wasn’t much greater than mine. The two guys she’d dated had been pretty normal in her opinion.
We took the bus to go pay bills, and brought a few groceries to get us through the next week. Neither of us were big eaters, even though we cooked for events. After that boring task was done, we did our daily run and returned to the apartment. In the back of my mind was the thought that I had to call Seth today, and it somewhat clouded over everything else.
“You might as well call him now.” McKayla prepared salads for our late lunch and apparently she’d been trying to get my attention for a few minutes since she’d placed one in front of me, holding up my fork. “Your mind is a million miles away.”
“Sorry. I guess you’re right. I have no idea what happens next, so it’s kind of freaking me out.” I gave a remorseful smile and walked over to the phone.
My hand shook as I dialed his
