With Us (Next Generation Book 2)
Page 27
“It’s been awhile.” Shade threw me on the bed, gripping my hips and pulling me to the edge of the bed.
“It hasn’t been that long.” Truth was, it had been weeks, but I was always so damn tired, I didn’t feel like showering much less having sex. It had also been hard since Sunny died. Neither of us cared to admit it though. I thought I had been the glue for both Sunny and Shade when really, it had been Sunny all along.
Shade kissed the spot between my breasts. “You good?”
I smiled, running my fingers through his dark hair. “I am. I am really good.”
After Shade fucked me good and hard like we both needed, I was leaning against the headboard with him lying on his stomach. His head rested against my chest. It had been a signature move for us even if we hadn’t had sex. He would lay on top of me. I would run my fingers through his hair. He would fall asleep. And I would breathe a sigh of relief and hope that he had happy dreams.
We still hadn’t heard from Tanner, but Greyson had found out that he had gone into hiding. Looked like his club had turned on him after all. A part of me felt bad for him but at the same time, if I ever saw him again, I would kick his ass.
Greyson would call every so often and fill Shade in on club business but other than that, he never expected Shade to show up. He needed time. We both did.
I had nightmares every so often about Sunny dying on top of me. Some of those dreams, would follow with Shade dying instead. I would always wake up in a cold sweat with my screams silent on my tongue. Shade would calm me down and I would fall back asleep in his arms. It was hard. It was so damn hard. But with each day, each step, we got through it.
Death wasn’t something you could get over though.
Especially not in this case.
But together, Shade and I were learning to heal.
Ever since Andrew was born, our worries and fears, fantasies and thoughts, were focused solely on him.
He was the reason we got through each day.
He was the reason we survived the nightmares from our minds.
I saw Sunny in him and I also saw Shade. We didn’t know whose DNA ran through him, but we didn’t care.
He wasn’t Sunny’s.
He wasn’t Shade’s.
He was ours.

Joanne, my editor and friend! Thank you for helping me make my books better.
Jennifer, again because now you’re my PA! Thank you as always for your never-ending help. And thank you for letting me bounce my super random ideas off of you and for just being there whenever I need a reason to kill off a character.
