A Broken Beautiful Beginning by Sophie Summers

at the ceiling with a content smile on his face. I gently lean on him and rest my head on his chest making sure not to break our connection, keeping him inside me. I kiss his sweaty chest and relish in his scent. His one hand comes up and rests in my hair. He runs his hands through my messy mass and the other one takes my hand and threads his fingers with mine.
    “I still want to know where you disappeared to and why you ended up punching the shit out of a boxing bag.” I mumble and he chuckles.

    After we both shower, Caleb explains to me what happened when he went to see Jace and how he told him that he would let him see Willow and I when he sobers up and gets his act together. I wasn’t happy to hear that, I have love for the man and I know he would never hurt Willow but I still don’t fully trust him with my daughter.
    I realize Jace and I have a lot to discuss and I want him to be happy but I don’t know if I’ll ever allow him to see Willow again.
    I also told Caleb about what happened when I went to see my father and how he didn’t think anything was wrong with allowing Jace to see Willow. My stubborn father also told me that Jace was part of his club and he paid his dues with the brothers, they punished him and now it’s his time to earn their loyalty, trust and respect back.
    So basically Jace is on a time -out for hitting and kidnapping me.
    I wasn’t too happy to hear that either.
    Apparently my father has a soft spot for Jace too. I was furious and couldn’t stand arguing with my father any longer, it’s a losing battle with him. It’s impossible talking to my father about any of his brothers, they will always come first. They can’t do any wrong in his eyes. I feel childish even thinking about him loving his club more than me, I wouldn’t admit that out loud either but sometimes it feels that way.
    Caleb and I make love in the shower and again early the next morning. Every time was different, less like love making and more like hard fucking. He was rough and fast and it only made me climax quicker. When we were younger Caleb and I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary so to say I wasn’t used to this type of love making was an understatement.
    These last few times we’ve had sex was carnal and animalistic, filled with dirty whispers and things he wanted to do with me. I’ve never seen him like this but I’ve loved every second of it. Our bodies can’t get enough of each other’s.
    I woke up to Caleb making pancakes which naturally ended up in a disaster I had to fix. He had even gotten our daughter dressed and ready for her play date with a friend from the preschool.

    We decided a while back to place Willow in the preschool nearby, she needed to spend time with kids her own age since she was already four years old.
    Holly fetches her from preschool every day and they get to spend quality time together. Sometimes Anna will visit Holly’s house so she can get some quality time in there too, I don’t allow Willow near the bar or the apartments where most of Daddy’s boys stay. The lake house was a few hours away and that is the only place I allow my parents to look after my daughter. Willow had grown attached to Holly rather suddenly and even though Anna wouldn’t admit to it, I think she is feeling rather left out. Connor was also around more often spending time with his mother and Willow. He’s now started working at Anna’s tattoo parlour. My mother is still travelling with her new boyfriend, but she sends us postcards whenever she lands in a new town and Willow has all the postcards pinned up on the board in her room.

    Today I start working at Caleb’s gym, he’s asked me to help manage the gym and today I have to hire a receptionist for the front desk. I was more than pleased to do so, anything to be near him all day long. I haven’t spoken to my father since my argument with him last night, usually we speak everyday but I haven’t bothered answering his calls. Anna came to
