The Right Choice ย ย ย Chapter 20
Grayson We all watched as Thomas got up and followed his wife, still looking guilty as hells. โHeโs either going to have a terrible time or a great one. Thereโs no in between there. โ Aryk said quietly. I nodded in agreement, uncertain which one I was hoping for. As soon as Celina left with Thomas, Abigail dove into my arms. I held her tightly, breathing in the smell of her hair. โI love you, my little bee,โ I teased her gently. โTheyโll think twice before they try to force me to do anything again,โ she laughed and then kissed me. I took a moment to appreciate the woman in front of me. Every day, she gave me something else to love and be proud of about her. โFollow me,โ Laurie ordered. He led the group to two tents and said gruffly, โLadies in this one,โ he pointed to the left. โGentlemen in there,โ he pointed to the right. When I walked into the tent with Aryk, I saw it was a bathhouse. There were two tubs, already filled with hot water. We could see other empty tubs, towels,

Abigail Grayson carried me over to an empty tent and took me inside. When he set me down, I noticed it was full of cushions and blankets of all shapes, colors, and sizes. It looked quite cozy. โCome here you,โ he said in a growl that made my knees weak. He pulled me close and pressed his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and let him lead me backward to the cushions. โOh!โ I exclaimed, as he picked me up by my bottom. I wrapped my legs around him and deepened the kiss as he knelt and laid me on the cushions, never breaking contact with my lips. My hands went into his hair as he slid one of his behind my head. I could feel his other hand moving over my body, on top of my clothes, stopping to fondle a breast. โGrayโฆโ I moaned as he moved to kiss my neck. I tilted my head to the side to give him better access. โSay it again,โ he commanded breathlessly. โSay my name.โ He started to nibble on my ear. โOh Grayโฆ I love you.โ I breathed. โI love you, too, my beautifu

Grayson โAbby,โ I growled the way I knew she liked. Her hand tightened around me in response, and I moaned as she moved it up and down. Even over my clothes it felt amazing. I pulled up her shirt and exposed her breast. We both groaned in pleasure as I took a nipple into my mouth. โGrayโฆโ she whispered in the sexiest way possible. I felt myself getting even harder. She sped up her handโฆ I was close already. I wanted to enjoy this, to enjoy her. โStop, love,โ I said, putting my hand on hers. She looked concerned. โDid I do something wrong?โ She sounded so sad. I kissed her. โNo, my girl. You were doing everything right. I just want us to take our time,โ I leaned down and licked her nipple, receiving a moan in response. โI want to enjoy this.โ I took my time undressing her, kissing each part of her body as I exposed it. She was a moaning mess by the time I was done, but was still able to whisper, โYour turn,โ as she tugged at my pants. I complied and she smiled at what she saw.

Abigail One second, I was fixing my boot. The next, I was being carried off by a troll who was foolishly covering my mouth with its bare hand. I bit it hard, causing the troll to yelp and move its hand. โHelp! Iโm up, mmmff,โ the troll covered my mouth again, this time with a glove blocking my teeth. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Cat struggling in the arms of another troll. I heard magic being fired, and knew that Aryk and Grayson were fighting the others. They didnโt take us far before Cat and I were thrown into a cart with several other humans who were tied up. A troll got in as the cart started moving and tied us up, too. โA good haul today,โ the troll that had tied us up yelled to the one driving the cart. โYeah, we got a good batch. They all look healthy, too.โ The two trolls talked about us like we were fish they had just caught in the river. The trip to the fortress was only a few hours by cart. It was mid-afternoon when we arrived and were unloaded like cattle in

Grayson Finding them had been relatively easy. Getting to them had been a challenge. We snuck in under the cover of Arykโs invisibility spell. Unfortunately, our cover was blown when I sneezed and caused a mini rock slide. One of the rocks had hit Aryk and caused him to lose focus, right as a troll patrol came around the corner. โTime for Plan B!โ Thomas yelled. โRun!โ Somehow we found the dungeons, and dispatched the guards with little effort. I blasted the door open and we burst inside. Rose found the girls first. She was so angry about their condition that she knocked out the teeth of the other prisoner. No one stopped her because he was still heckling the girls. He was calling one of them sneaky and telling them to put several parts of his body into their mouths. Catherine was unconscious and barely breathing. Abigailโs leg was bent at an unnatural angle, and there was something wrong with her hand. She kept holding it closed, and I couldnโt get her to open it. I picked up

Abigail After getting out of the water, Grayson helped me dry off and get dressed again. Having a broken leg and only one working hand made me feel like an invalid, but he never made me feel like a burden. He set me on a medium-sized rock while he got dressed. I closed my eyes and leaned back, enjoying the last of the dayโs sunshine. โAbby?โ I heard him say softly. I opened my eyes and saw him down on one knee in front of me. โGrayson?โ I asked, thoroughly confused. โWhat are you doing?โ โIโm asking you to marry me,โ he said, placing something into my good hand. He looked at me, anxiously. Heโs so worried Iโll say no. I opened my hand. He had given me a green rock, like he had when we were children and first told everyone we were going to marry. I felt my eyes fill with tears. โAre you sure?โ I was shocked. โAbby, you are everything to me, and I donโt want to live my life without you as a part of it. I tried that for a while and it was the worst four years of my life.โ I reache

Grayson Cat was healing, albeit slowly. She hadnโt been attacked physically like Abby was, but she had been affected mentally. She had nightmares every night, and would wake up screaming. Sometimes she would be shouting for Abby to be careful, or for the monsters in her head to leave them alone. Sometimes she would call out for Rose, or even her father. We did our best to comfort her, with Rose taking on most of the job. โSheโs not getting better,โ Rose confided one morning, about a week and a half later. โIt was the worst experience of my life โ and Iโve been stabbed twice,โ Abby replied. โIโm sure Cat never even imagined anything that horrible before. Itโs going to take some time for her to get over. We just need to be there for her the best we can.โ โI wish there was more I could do to help,โ Rose lamented. โYou are doing so much for her just by being there,โ Abby reassured her. โI would be much worse off if I didnโt have you and Grayson.โ Rose seemed relieved, and did her

Abigail It took about two weeks before I was finally able to walk normally on my leg. โI think we can start moving again,โ I said one morning. โAre you sure, Duchess?โ Aryk asked clearly worried. โIโm not saying Iโll be fast, but I can definitely move again.โ Grayson insisted we stop every hour to take a break. The second I showed any signs of being tired, he had me back in the sling on his back. โYouโre being a little ridiculous,โ I said one morning as he was tying me to his back. โYour leg was shattered less than a month ago, Abby,โ he replied. โYouโre lucky to be walking at all. You wouldnโt be able to again without my healing. I donโt want you over doing it and permanently damaging something.โ โYes, doctor,โ I said, resting my head against his back. โI hope Iโm not too heavy for you.โ โYou are lighter than Thomasโs pack,โ he joked. โI tried moving that one day and almost broke my arm.โ Every time he carried me, it seemed to get easier for him.

Six months later, they were married in a ceremony held on the lawn of her motherโs nursing home. Their mothers held hands and wept happy tears as Tony and Molly exchanged vows they had written themselves. Molly started. โTony, you are one of the few people in this world who truly see me. Youโve always seen me as so much more than I thought I was. Youโve helped me realize my worth, and that I do have something to offer the world. Every day you make me feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet. You encourage me, you donโt just listen to me โ you hear me. We have been through so much together, and I can honestly say I wouldnโt have gotten through half of it without you by my side.โ She stopped to wipe away her tears, but Tony got to them first. She smiled at him. โYou are better than any fairy tale or romantic hero. You have saved me in so many ways. I promise I will always be honest and upfront with you. I will always support you, and you will always be the best thing thatโs ev

**Three weeks later**Molly called her mother on her way home from work, like she did every night. โHi mom,โ she said cautiously. โHi baby girl, happy birthday!โ her mom answered. It was another good day for Sarah.โYou remembered!โ Molly exclaimed.โI did,โ she said. โThere should be a package waiting for you at home, too. The nurses helped me.โโThank you, mom,โ Molly said with happy tears.โI just wanted to send my daughter something special,โ Sarah said. โNot every day is your birthday.โโI still appreciate it,โ Molly replied. โThatโs because youโre a good girl,โ Sarah said. โHowโs Tony?โ she asked, changing the subject. โHeโs good,โ she responded. โWeโre both still doing therapy separately, as well as going together. Itโs been really helpful. Iโm going to call him later and heโs going to bring over dinner.โโThatโs great, Molly.โโI know,โ she replied. โIโd forgotten how much I missed just talking to him.

It was difficult, but they did the work. They went through therapy together and individually. Their couplesโ therapist wanted them to just spend time together, not as couple or with anything sexual between them, so they could focus on building back their friendship and trust.The no sexual contact was difficult for both of them, but they stuck to what they dubbed the โmuddy watersโ rule. They spent a lot of time together over the next three months, mostly talking, but also just sometimes sitting with each other. On Halloween, Tony brought over Horror House 3, which was the movie they saw on their first date. He also brought take out from the restaurant they had gone to that first night. Molly almost kissed him several times just because of how thoughtful it all was, but she stuck to the rule. She did allow herself to kiss his cheek, which caused him to smile and blush.They bent the rule a little when he put his arm around her and she snuggled up against him. They bent it even mor

He pulled back and looked at her. โWhen?โ he asked, his voice cracking.She hung her head. โAbout two years ago. Right when we sold the house and put mom in the nursing home,โ she said softly, angrily wiping away her tears. He held her hand, and listened. โI found out I was pregnant and I had been trying to tell you, but it was one thing after another,โ she said waving her arm from one side to the other. โIt was never a good time. The night I was finally going to tell you, I had cooked dinner and made it all nice andโฆ you never came home. Not until it was very late, anyway, and you stank of alcohol. You said youโd been out with your coworkers celebrating a big deal.โ Tony remembered that night. He had seen the set up when he came home, but had been too drunk to ask. When heโd woken up the next morning, it was gone and so was Molly. He had assumed sheโd gone to work.โThat morning, after I woke up I started bleeding,โ she continued. โI tried to wake you but you were passed out, s

โIโm over here,โ said a small voice filled with pain. It was coming from the floor on the other side of the bed.He rushed over and saw her holding her foot, her hands covered in blood. Without a word he grabbed a towel from the closet, wrapped it around her foot, picked her up, and carried her into the kitchen. He set her down on a chair before unwrapping the towel. Molly winced in pain.โWhat happened, Mols?โ he asked gently, sitting on the floor in front of her.She sighed. โI think Orange knocked a picture frame off the dresser and it broke. I stepped on the glass.โHe washed her foot off gently. โIt doesnโt look that bad,โ he said. โYou wonโt need stitches.โโGood,โ she said. She was so tired. Tony could hear it in her voice. โThatโs the last thing I need.โTony cleaned her foot up and handed her a rag to wash the blood off her hands. He was quiet as he carefully bandaged her foot up. He kissed her leg and held her foot in his lap.โYou broke the door,โ Molly said, exhaust

โMolly?โ he ventured.She was pinching the bridge of her nose, trying to hold up her towel and the journal with one hand. โYes, Tony?โโWhat secret were you keeping?โ he asked softly. He reached out and fixed her towel. If the towel slipped again, he wasnโt sure what heโd do. Molly was gorgeous and he missed her so much. She wouldnโt look at him. โIt doesnโt matter now,โ she answered. โPlease donโt jump off a bridge,โ he said sadly. She still wouldnโt look at him. โIโm going to put on some clothes,โ she said.Before he could stop himself, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. โI donโt mind you in just a towel,โ he said softly into her ear.She looked at him, confused. โMuddy waters, Tony, remember?โ she said. โItโs your rule, not mine. I didnโt know you were out here or I wouldnโt have come out in my towel.โโButโฆโ he started. โDo you want to get back together?โ she asked angrily. โIโฆโ he hesitated.โPlease leave, Tony,โ Molly said with tears in her eyes

A few minutes after Molly got in the shower, there was a knock at her door.โMols?โ Tony called. โHey Molly, come on โ open up.โ More knocking. โPlease, Mols.โMaybe sheโs in the shower, he thought. He pulled out the key that Molly insisted he keep after he moved out, in case of emergency. Molly didnโt have any other family outside of her mom, so Tony was still her emergency contact. While being ignored wasnโt an emergency, he didnโt like the thought of her sitting by herself being sad. He still loved her. He had been devastated when she agreed to the breakup and didnโt even try to fight for him. He went through with the breakup because he figured she didnโt love him anymore when she didnโt fight it. They hardly saw each other due to work, even though they had lived together. They had both changed and things were different between them, but he still loved her. He knew she thought of herself as a disappointment, but he never did. The last few years dealing with her momโs rapidly
