Speak To Me

(Grayson)

I couldn't wipe this huge grin off of my face..the fact that everything was coming together so perfectly just made it that much better. My Kitty Kat was happy, truly fucking happy and I didn't realize until now how much that affected me. I don't know when it happened exactly, but over the weeks that girl has become my sole purpose in life..my reason for fucking everything..and I don't know how much longer I can keep it under wraps.

Last night I almost gave in. I wanted to taste those sweet plump lips for the first time..I wanted to drag my hands up and down her body, exploring every imperfection she had and convincing her that was what made her so damn perfect..she was beautiful, scars and all..and seeing that smile on her face when her sister came out of the car, I felt that shit deep in my soul.

I wasn't one to believe in soul mates..hell, in the past I had multiple girlfriends at the same time, thinking monogamy wasn't for me..but since Katrina came into my life, there is no one else that can compare. Are you reading this on obiẞ.m? If not, you've been misled! This chapter was lifted from our site. Head over to lobiß.m for genuine chapters, the latest updates, and exclusive releases."It was like a part of me had been hidden away deep inside of her from the start..like the other half of my soul was tucked away, waiting for me to find her..I was a man obsessed..and it was scary as hell.

It started with the pictures..I would look through her old social media for hours, analyzing every video and image she took. Picking apart how this girl isn't the same one that's with me now and eventually, I began taking new pictures of my own.

Images of her small scarred hands..the way the red skin made my heart race as I pictured those fingers wrapped around my cock. The way the curves of her breasts fit snuggly beneath the clothes I picked for her..and how her neck had that small scar right along the side..begging for me to pepper kisses all along it.

I preferred her like this..damaged and needing to be loved..she needs me..and I need her just as much.

I know it's fucked..but I have grown dependent on her. Chasing that high I feel every time her hazel eyes light up when I walk into a room..I'm the only one she ever looked at like that.

Me..only me. But I also love seeing her grow more and more..knowing I am making a difference in her life. So when I say she is perfect, I mean it..

And after today, I'm going to tell her just how I feel.

I slipped my hands into my pockets, trying to not skip down the hallway like a lovesick teenager when I rounded the corner and came towards my brother's office. I couldn't believe he actually brought the kid. And strange enough..they actually look like they could be father and son. Who knew Grant would be the dad type..okay, that's a lie..he always had it in him..I mean, he was the best big brother ever, so obviously he would be one hell of a dad.

"Hey Daddy, how's it hangin." I teased, making my brother frown as I swear I saw a shudder tremble through him.

"Never fucking call me that again or I'm going to kick your ass.." Grant grumbled, making me laugh as I plopped into the leather sofa across from him.

"Where's the kid? I thought he was permanently attached to your leg or something."

"He went with Gabriella to look around. I wanted to speak with you first." Grant explained, making me nod once as another smirk filled my face.

"Well, you managed to bring her here, but I'm guessing your plans of holding her hostage are no longer on the table?" I would never let him live that down..he tried to kidnap her for fucks sake. Wait..how many does that make?

Maybe my brother has a problem now that I think about it..

"There's no need..Jamie and I have an understanding now. Gabriella can come visit me whenever she wants."

"So you are deciding to stay then." I said more seriously, feeling a little anxious about that.

If Grant comes back, Katrina is more likely to find out about everything..which would not be good for us.

Hunter thinks I should just tell her..but I don't think she is ready to hear it yet..and truthfully, I'm not ready because I know it will hurt her. I know she will question everything I've ever said and that terrifies me because I meant it all..and I can't lose her. Not now that I have her..Katrina is mine.

"Not exactly..I need to make sure Sammy is taken care of first. After the adoption papers are finalized, then we will look into coming back. But Grayson..there is another reason why I'm here..and I know you have grown fond of the girl-"

"It's going to crush her." I blurted, knowing exactly where this was going and I fucking hated it.

"She will be okay. She won't have to know that's the reason why we brought her here."

"It's not the full reason..we wanted her to get better." I tried to defend myself..knowing that was my reason from the first moment I saw her. I wanted to see those eyes open..to hear her speak for the first time..to know what she was thinking in that beautiful head of hers.. Grant just looked at me, his blue eyes saying it all as I quickly pushed my hair back before sighing.

"Maybe I can talk with her first..just to see if she will come out and say it instead of her being interrogated." I offered, seeing my brother stand before coming over to my side.

"If that's what you think is best, we can give it a try!"

I kid you not..my mouth dropped open in shock.

"What?" He asked, making me smile wider than ever as the memories of the old Grant flashed through me.

"I think that kids making you soft."

"Soft? How the hell has what I said made me soft?" He scoffed, seeming offended.

"The old you would've tortured the information out of her the moment you stepped foot in here. Especially since it's about your mom." Grant was always obsessed with finding out information about his mom. And after Dad died..he did torture more than a few men to try and find anything.

"Would you rather I go that route instead?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, causing me to shake my head no before standing.

"Nope, just forget what I said. See ya at lunch Daddy G." I rushed out, hearing Grant cursing behind me as I couldn't help but feel this overwhelming sense of happiness.

I would ask Kat gently..easing her into this and once we get some answers, then that part will be over..she will never have to know.

I went to reach for my phone, making sure everything was getting set up for the picnic as I realized it wasn't in my picket..weird..

I headed straight for the library, picking up speed as I couldn't wait to see my Kitty Kat as I remembered putting my phone on the table beside her.

I wasn't gone for too long, so she is probably just getting into one of those smut books I always catch her reading. My naughty little Kat..she doesn't think I know..but I do. And just wait until I show her the real thing.

I turned the corner, excited to get back to my girl when I was suddenly met with an empty room, making my brow furrow.

"Kitty Kat?" I called, wondering where the hell she went.

That's when I saw my phone and went to grab it.

I clicked on the screen, seeing I didn't have any new message notifications but realized Hunter had sent me something..

Fuck..

I read the text, my heart starting to race as fear began to creep up my spine. She didn't read this did she? No..l must've just clicked it without realizing..

I went to whirl around, panic coursing through my veins as I felt like my world had stopped.

Where is she? Where the fuck did she go then? Maybe her sister got her while I was gone..

"Sorry, I just had to use the restroom." Her small voice filled the room, making my gaze snap up to her now sitting in the doorway..and I swear I have never felt more relieved in my life.

"You should've waited..I could've taken you." I rushed, walking straight over to her as I began to examine her carefully..then I saw it..those Hazel eyes that once lit up the whole room were now dull and lifeless as the fake smile she held on her face resembled those I studied hours on end from the past..

That's when I knew..she saw them..she saw the fucking texts.

"Kat-"

"There's something I need to tell you guys..It's important." She blurted, that once bubbly girl I had come to love now a mere shell like before.

"Kitty Kat-"

"Can you ask your brother and Gabriella to meet me here..please..it's about their mom."

I just stared at Katrina, seeing the emptiness she now held behind those Hazel eyes and it killed me..it fucking killed me.

I found myself falling to my knees..the desperation I felt overpowering everything else as I came closer to her.

"Katrina, it isnt what you think.." I began, trying to reach for her hands as she flinched, pulling them away.

That was like a punch to my fucking gut..she hasn't done that in weeks..

"Please Grayson...don't make this harder than it already is..I just want to get this off of my chest. I owe it to her.." She choked out, the way her voice cracked caused my heart to split open. I could see the betrayal she felt..I could feel it crawling along her skin as she shrunk back into the chair further and further.

"Can we talk about this first? Can you just let me explain-"

"After..I just want to do this first..please.." Katrina begged, those Hazel eyes finally meeting mine for the first time as she reached out and grabbed my hand now.

"I promise..we can talk after." She tried to reassure, her smile not quite reaching her eyes as I nodded and went to stand.

"Okay, but I'm not leaving your side..not until you let me explain."

She nodded once again, her hand going to pull away as I gripped it even tighter.

"We will go out and get them together."

I didn't want to leave her alone..I couldn't leave her alone..not after what she read..not with what she must be thinking right now.

I needed to fix this...I needed to show her just how much I truly care for her and how much she means to me because I fucked up..bad.
