He hadn’t thought of actually having kids with her. They’d done the deed, but he hadn’t truly thought about what that would mean—kids, babies, him being a dad, her being a mom. It was all relevant and yet, he hadn’t considered it. He was an asshole.
Al called out for Rosalie and she left the table, ruffling one of the kid’s heads as she went. She walked up to the counter and there were three plates. He watched her balance them on her hands and saw her heading toward them. She looked completely in control. Colt expected her to drop them any second, but she surprised him as she came toward his table and placed the food right in front of them.
“Thanks, Rose,” Ox said.
Myth repeated the same compliment and within seconds they were diving in. Rosalie put a plate in front of him and he expected her to linger just a little, but she was already turning to walk away. He captured her wrist, forcing her to stop.
“What do you want?” she asked.
“Sit.”
“I’m working.”
“I’ll deal with Al, sit.” He kicked out the chair beside him and looked at it.
Rosalie rolled her eyes, but seeing as he hadn’t let go of her wrist, she perched onto the end of the seat. “Happy?”
“No, you need to eat something.”
“And I will, on my break.”
“Don’t give a shit what you tell me, babe. You’ll eat something because I tell you to.” He pointed at his tray of food. There was a reason he’d ordered double of everything.
“Colt, I need this job. Will you just … I don’t know what you’re doing, but stop, okay?”
“I’m taking care of my wife, now if you’ve got a problem with that, I really don’t give a shit. I’m doing what I need to do to take care of you. Now, sit your ass down and eat.”
She rolled her eyes.
“Eat,” Petal said, moving past the table. “I’ve got this covered and Al’s already clocked you, but he’s also seen who you’re with, so I wouldn’t worry.” Her friend moved away.
Ox and Myth hadn’t slowed down in their eating.
Rosalie looked like she wanted to complain but he picked up a fry and held it out to her. He still hadn’t let go of her wrist, and he did think she would flee if given the chance, so it was simple. He wasn’t going to give her the chance to leave.
“This is ridiculous.”
“You’re not leaving until you eat, and I’m not going anywhere until you eat.”
“And what if you need to use the toilet?”
“I’m not shy, babe,” he said.
He saw her cheeks heating.
She had never seen him, not completely naked. Their sex had pretty much been diabolical. He hated it. It wasn’t even cold hard fucking. What they did every Friday night was just … procreation for the sake of it. There was no excitement, certainly no arousal on Rosalie’s part. He just had to provide his dick, but he was done with that.
Rosalie took the fry from his fingers and he smiled, holding out another while she still chewed the first. Once she finished, she looked at the fry, then at him.
“This is your food, you still have to eat something.”
“I will.” He waited, patiently.
She took the second fry.
This time, he picked up two and shoved them in his mouth, chewing on them as he offered her another. Rosalie continued to eat from him and he wouldn’t let her go. He knew she wouldn’t eat unless he forced her and he was more than happy to do that.
They demolished his fries within minutes. Next, he picked up one of the cheeseburgers. Ox had already leaned over and cut one of them in half, making it easier for him to hold.
She held her hands up. “I’m not a child, I can eat this without you.”
“If you take off, there will be consequences.”
Another eye roll. “I’m still here, aren’t I?”
Colt had a feeling she wasn’t talking about the food right now. She had a point. At any time she and Petal could have climbed into her friend’s car and taken off. He’d be able to find her, but it would probably take time since he didn’t know anything about her. Would her father? Did she fear him? Did she fear what would happen to her mother? Staring at Rosalie, he had a feeling she wouldn’t leave her mother behind. He admired her spirit.
She took the burger from him and he watched her take a bite.
Colt had never considered taking a woman out for a meal. For the longest time, women had always been available to him to fuck. He never went on dates, never took the time. What was the point? Pussy was free to him. Being Warden’s son, most of the women wanted to drop and give him anything and everything he desired. It wasn’t hard to get what he wanted from them.
