"Nah, Phil Let her open her ht here for it,"

Shane answered, flapping his cock at her

"Gawd," Katie turned away again

"Get back now," Bill said His voice was going to a calm, deadly place

Travis hesitated then started to follow Katie

"She ain’t gonna give you any, Travis She’s a waste of ass," Shane said ly

"Fuck off, Shane," Travis answered

Shane continued to dance around, exposing hio out onto the wall and punch his lights out, but Katie grabbed his aro She don’t want you Maybe we should just bend her over and turn her back to thewith his zipper In his drunken state, he wavered, his foot caught, and he went tuan to roll off when Shane caught hiawd," Katie murmured as Bill and Curtis rushed onto the narrow top of the wall to rescue Phil

Travis stepped back, his hand co out to keep her behind hi, but he see

The zo on the gate was rip on Phil and with Shane’s help and the help of a few others they an to corral the rest of the men back to the platform Katie noticed that Shane and Phil avoided hi for hed and shook her head She turned on her heel and walked away Without looking behind her, she knew Travis was following He caught up to her and slid his ar up at him, she could see he was more upset than she was

"Travis, I’m used to it," she said softly

"I’m not and it was bullshit," Travis answered darkly

"Let it go It’s not worth it Lydia and I soot comments like that It’s not uncommon Soed and turned her toward him "Yeah, but I don’t like it"

Katie tilted her head "But they have a right to live here, too And to be a part of this corowled

"Look, we just have to deal, that’s all," Katie answered, then yawned

"Gawd, I’ I don’t have a place to sleep Maybe Peggy can put me up"

Travis shook his head "No, come with me Sleep with me"

"Travis?" She blinked

"I said sleep I didn’t say have sex, okay?"

Katie hesitated "Okay"

Travis led her toward the beat up portable building that was now a dor it quietly, they made their way past recently constructed doors and walls that lead into tiny dorm rooms Travis led her to a doorway at the end of a hall and opened up the door to his office It was croith a desk, light table, and file cabinets Up against the as a sofa that folded out into a bed It was still ruht before, but Katie was too tired to care if it was freshly turned down or not Sliding off her jacket, she flopped onto it and stared up at the ceiling

She felt so very tired, physically and emotionally Shane and Phil just reether But now she was dealing with it alone and the ache inside of her was intense

Travis shed his jacket and lay down next to her "I’uys are such shits"

"Not your fault Just part of life," she answered grimly She closed her eyes and rolled onto her side

She could sense Travis beside her and his great need to reach out and touch her But she ignored it and squeezed her eyes shut tighter Curling up, she wished fervently the ache inside of her would subside, but it pulsated and ate at her

"Fuck this," Travis whispered and suddenly his ar her deep into his ehtly and she clutched his wrists with her hands "I can’t stand to see you in pain"

Katie sazed at hiratefully She knew she was a bullheaded Norse, prone to moodiness and the solitary, but he bulldozed her defenses and she rather needed that<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
