Unexpected Consequences Read Free

mind to drift to our earlier activities.
    We got ready much slower than it should have taken, both losing control of our hands and prolonging the other. Once we were finally ready, we headed out only to run into Jack on the stairs. He sneered when he saw me, his eyes settling on Korah with a sinister gleam.
    “Well, well,” he sang, using his free arm to draw attention to the broken one. “What do we have here? You weren’t the one he had over here last night,” he lied.
    Korah tensed, but didn’t comment, only saying, “You must be Jack.”
    He walked up a few steps, stopping directly in front of her. “You can do better than this douche, I promise you that. I’m sure he’s told you plenty of lies, but this,” he pointed to his arm menacingly, “is all his fault. He pushed me for talking about some girl named Korah. So tell me, how does that make you feel? You aren’t the only one.”
    I bit back a smile, almost chuckling at his idiocy. She placed her hand in mine and squeezed, a movement I would have never thought would bring comfort.
    “Please, tell me more about this Korah girl. And why isn’t he in jail if he did that to you?” she said calmly, even adding a bit of edge like she was upset about it.
    “His friend talked me into dropping the charges, and I did it like an idiot. As for Korah, I don’t know much about her, but I asked if I could have a go when he was finished and the next thing I know, he was pushing me. Now, honey, don’t you worry, I’d be even happier to have a go at you. Give me a call when you come to your senses,” he said with a wink. He stepped around us, walking in the direction of his room.
    I spoke loud enough for him to hear me. “Let’s go, Korah, dinner is waiting,”
    She giggled as we left. My only regret was I wished I could see the look on his face as he realized who he was speaking to moments before. Once we stepped outside, I pulled her to me, allowing her scent to sweep over me and calm me.
    “Korah, there wasn’t a girl last night.”
    She nodded against me. “I know. Cale’s told me about him.”
    “Cale? When did you speak to Cale?” I questioned. I hadn’t seen my friend since early yesterday evening.
    “This morning when I walked in on him and Leela in bed,” she admitted with a growing blush.
    I laughed heartily, imagining the horror she endured. “Were they in the middle…” I started, earning a smack on my upper chest.
    “No!” she exclaimed, her cheeks glowing brighter. “Ohmygosh, no. They were finished. But still naked and yeah…”
    We laughed together this time. Never did I think I would enjoy laughter so much. We talked on and off the whole way to breakfast, learning more about each other with every topic. She loved animals, hated onions, wanted to travel someday, and her dream was to write for a magazine.
    I wanted her to reach her goals more than I wanted to reach mine. What did that mean?
    “So, back to Cale,” I said, shifting the topic after we finished eating. “Did you see his junk?”
    She squealed, throwing her napkin at me before burying her face in her arms and laying them on the table. I heard her mumble. “Oh my God” a few times.
    “Is that a yes?” I asked with chuckle.
    She nodded once, lifting her face enough to say, “Only for a second.”
    I grinned widely, taking her hand in mine and pulling her up. “It’s ok. I won’t get jealous since you showed me a few times this morning you like my junk quite a bit.”
    The adorable blush I was seeing more and more arrived again. Narrowing her eyes, she replied, “Do you get jealous, Dane Davidson?”
    “Not usually, but I might if it concerns you,” I admitted.
    It was true. Korah Daniels turned my life upside down and I didn’t know anything about who I was anymore.
     

Chapter Three-Korah
    The court date with Christopher was less than a week away. I dreaded it as much as I wanted it over with. The restraining order, hospital reports, and witness accounts were
