realising tears were flowing down her face. Nate placed his hand under her chin pulling her to face him as he kissed her wet cheeks.
“I’m so proud of you. Getting yourself and Holly away from that bastard,” Nate said vehemently.
Deanna smiled and looked to Ethan and saw the angry expression on his face after hearing what she had experienced. Cameron coughed to clear his throat, feeling sympathy for what Deana and Holly had endured.
“Thanks for that Deanna. I know it must have been hard repeating it. I’ll get this recorded and keep the case open just as a precaution. But I’ve spoken to Ethan and he agrees that he should take over and will get some of his best operatives to watch Lee’s movements from now on. It’s what they do but we will be working together on this. We’ll keep you updated. Good night,” Cameron said as he got up to leave.
Ethan approached Deanna and pulled her into a hug. “I’m so sorry that happened to you Deanna. My brother will take good care of both you and Holly. Plus you’ve got our family and the club behind you. That prick won't dare come near with all of us around. You’re not alone anymore,” he said fondly to the woman he and his family had all come to love and admire.
“ Thank you Ethan, that means so much to me. Thanks Cameron,” Deanna said.
“ I’ll talk to you later,” Ethan said as he pulled Nate into a quick hug before leaving with Cameron.
Deanna sat back down with Nate and she couldn ’t help a sigh of release. Tonight had been hard for her thinking back to the terrible things that had happened to her and Holly.
“ Are you okay?” she turned and asked him softly, he had been so quiet throughout and she could still feel that he was on edge.
“ No. I want to kill that fucker.”
“ Nate, we’re fine now. We both have you,” she snuggled into his side as Nate hummed in response, unable to reply as he was still struggling with rage.
A thought that had been bothering him for some time had him asking. “Did he rape you, Deanna?”
“ No, thankfully we rarely had sex. His touch always left me cold and he acted like he hated having to come near me. I lost the baby weight and did all I could to feel attractive. I . . . er . . . it was the reason I was so nervous being intimate with you. I didn’t believe I was good enough for you. Especially when I first saw Vanessa and how slim she was. I’ve never been skinny and after having Holly my body became curvier. I thought you wouldn’t find me attractive.”
Nate scoffed. “Baby. You’re gorgeous, sweet, loving, feisty in bed - which I love by the way,” he whispered, making her blush, “and you have a delicious body. If that numpty didn’t appreciate you, it shows he’s completely fucked up,” he winked and smiled saucily at her.
She laughed and relaxed into him as they sat in comfortable silence for several minutes, both lost in their own thoughts.
“I can’t believe what that stupid bitch Vanessa did. Hopefully the beatin’ she got taught her a lesson,” Nate said, still angry at the silly cow and also at himself for wasting so much time on her.
“ Hmm, I think it probably did. Anyway, how do you know Cameron? You looked like you knew each other well,” she said, trying to change the subject.
“ With the security business we have lots of contacts in the police force. But I knew him when I was younger. We used to play on the same team.”
“ Football?”
He sniggered. “No. Ice Hockey.”
“ Ice Hockey, really?”
“ What? It’s a great contact sport. Helped me get rid of some of my pent up teen hormones. Some of the fights I got into were wicked.”
Deanna laughed at his smirk, “You sound like you miss it. Why did you give it up?”
“ I had to when my dad became ill and I was needed at the club. I did miss it. Maybe I can take you to a game? The season’s over now but maybe in a few months? You’d enjoy it and I haven’t been in ages.”
“ I’d like that,”
“I’m so proud of you. Getting yourself and Holly away from that bastard,” Nate said vehemently.
