Sold To Knight

Chapter 14

I watched Tara wash and rinse hating what I am about to do to her. She looked up a sad smile gracing those perfect lips. She grabbed a towel and dried off and began to lotion up. I sighed as thoughts of this being the last time I would have her flashed in my mind. My dad pushed me to take the deal not only for power but peace. I was gonna give up the one woman I truly loved to settle this feud between our gangs. After she dressed she sat on her bed and waited.

"Sweetheart I...",I began at a loss for words.

"Its okay Dallas I know you have to do this you were never really mine anyway. I just want you happy and safe",she mumbled looking at me. Her eyes scanned my face as she tried to smile. I felt my gut clench in pain I hated this.

"I have to put my gang and family first sweetheart I hope you understand. I truly love you I always will but if I don't do this they will kill you and I can't have that",he said sighing. "I made the deal that they won't go after you and they will leave you alone forever",he says stroking my cheek. Standing up I went to him and kissed him softly. He responded right away and soon our clothes came off and he made love to me all night. After he fell asleep I wrote him a long letter and left it on my pillow. Leaving with my luggage I went and found Kansas.

"he told you",he said looking mad.

"yeah and I get it. I'm leaving I have a taxi coming to drive me to the airport. I'm going away where I don't know anyone but I don't want to say goodbye to him it will hurt to much",I said holding in my tears.

"sweetheart he wouldn't do this if it wasn't to keep you safe",he said softly. "I know but it doesn't make it hurt any less Kansas. I just want him happy and safe. Please take care of him for me",I said hugging him.

"don't go Tara stay so he can say goodbye",Kansas pleaded.

"I can't....I can't be here when he marries her and I can't watch her rub it in my face. I will miss all of you. Make sure he gets my letter its on the pillow by his head. Just tell him I will always love him",I said leaving as the taxi honked. I carried all my stuff out and didn't look back. I had him drop me off at a car lot where I bought a car and loaded my stuff in the back. I stopped and filled up the tank before activating the GPS unit. I typed in North Carolina and began my drive away from him.

Once out of the state I pulled over and cried. I didn't have anyone and that hurt the most. Dallas was going to marry her and I wouldn't be anything to him anymore. I drove six hours straight before arriving in North Carolina. Pulling over I rented a hotel room and unloaded my stuff. Sitting on the bed my cell rang but I ignored it. Looking at the caller ID I winced it was Dallas. He kept calling and calling. It dinged and I opened my messages and sobbed.

I love you sweetheart and I'm sorry

He texted more but I couldn't open them. After crying I got hungry so I ordered room service and sat in the bed. I turned on the television and flipped through channels. After awhile my food came and I ate by myself. Sighing I locked up and fell asleep thinking what the hell was I gonna do now. I had alot of money so that wasn't an issue I just hated to be alone and I missed Dallas alot. I would look for a place to live tomorrow and find something to keep me busy. Getting in bed my cell dinged so I opened it. Kansas was texting me and so was Dallas.

I opened them and cried as each were begging me to answer. I fell asleep crying and upset.

Waking early the next day I booted up my laptop and put in places for rent or sale in the town I was in. I found a four bedroom four bathroom house that would be perfect for me. I was moving on and I just hope I could handle being alone.

Two months later I was finally moved in completely. I bought all new stuff and also got another surprise I was pregnant with twins. I cried so much I feared I would hurt them but they are thriving. The doctor said I am three months along so I just accepted it and was happy I had a part of him even if I couldn't have him. I opened my cell phone and smiled as Kansas sent a text asking if I was okay. I responded back I was and asked about Dallas. I missed him now more then ever but he was married now.

Yes he married her but from what Kansas texted he wouldn't sleep with her. She was pissed he slept in another room also. He wouldn't look at her or touch her which pissed her off. I cried when I heard they married but he chose it so there was nothing I could do. I went out shopping and got home after seven in the evening. I got the mail and smiled at the baby magazines that showed different stages in pregnancy. I was gonna be a mom in six months. I texted Kansas back but jumped when he popped up in front of me. I burst into tears and hugged him. He looked at me and smiled but when his eyes landed on my belly I felt fear.

"your pregnant sweetheart you have to tell him Tara he will come and take care of you",he said holding me.

"how did you know where I was Kansas and you know I can't do that he married her and it stopped the gang war. I will always love him but I can't come back and I can't ask him to come here",I said wiping my tears away.

Kansas kissed my head and grabbed my bags. I unlocked my door and deactivated the alarm. He followed me in.

"I found you from your phone number you forgot to block your number when you texted me. I didn't tell Dallas or Dakota where I was going so they have no idea where I am",he said sitting down and pulling me with him.

"I'm staying here to help you with my niece or nephew",he offered.

"you mean nieces or nephews I'm carrying twins Kansas",I said watching his eyes widen. He hugged me and kissed my head. When his cell rang he reluctantly let me go and answered. I could hear Dallas and he sounded beyond pissed off.

"Bro I need to know where you are they didn't want peace they wanted me to marry her to take us all out. Stay where you are",he said.

"Dallas I need you to come where we are and bring Dakota. The marriage is fake I hired a fake preacher so it's not a real marriage", Kansas said chuckling as I hit him.

"you stupid fucker, he growled, where the f**k are you?"

"I'm with sweetheart in North Carolina. Get both of you packed and come to the address I'm texting you. Make sure your not followed and get here safe she has to tell you something", Kansas said hanging up.

I sat looking at him in shock he was something else.
