All Chapters of Mechanic or Luna: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Sounds good!” I said and jumped up, off Maddox. “I want to change. Can you take the bandage off? Cade wants to look at the incision. Maddox looked at Cade. “Yeah, I’ll let you take a look and then I’ll get it wrapped again. Her shirts will pull on the stitches, or what is left. The one that pulled caused her to bleed some.” “That’s fine, I just want to check it. I know you have been doing great with her healing.” “No worries, man. I get it.” Maddox put his hand on my back to guide me out. “I am going to put on my silk jammies before I get some popcorn. Do you want anything else?” Jo asked me. “Chocolate bars.” Cade snorted. “It’s the key to her heart.” “Oh, really?” Jo looked at me. “Hear that Maddox?” “Don’t put on some stupid chick flick, either!” I yelled as Spencer ran past us and up the stairs. “I WON’T.” He yelled back. I had to grab ahold of Maddox’s arm as we climb the stairs. Cade was walking with Jo. It felt good for it to be the four of us. “Usually I make Maddox

Just as the previews started, Maddox reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. Not wanting to look at whoever he was texting, I just rested my head on my arm, far away as I could manage. What I wasn’t prepared for was for Maddox to shove his phone in my hand and look back at the screen. Looking down at it, it was our message thread. Instead of saying Tatum, it said Mate. “Princess, I didn’t mean you shouldn’t have done that because I didn’t enjoy it. If you couldn’t tell, I REALLY enjoyed it. I meant that you put yourself in pain and that isn’t okay with me. You should never make yourself in pain to please me. You should know by now that I am dying to look, taste, feel, and fuck every inch of you. Those bitches are worth shit now that I found you. They were merely just a distraction. You are my life. Please, I’m sorry. Go look at their messages if you don’t believe me.” Doing as he asked, I clicked on Tabitha first. Maddox: If you ever text me, come up to me or any fo

“In his office.” Steele looked at me. “Maybe give him some time.” “I’m not sure what he expected. I’m not a twelve-year-old learning how to fight for the first time. This isn’t even my worst injury.”“No, but you are the first person he’s cared about. He’s maybe trying a little too hard. It doesn’t come natural for everyone.” “Come natural? Do you realize how that sounds?” Steele did a quiet laugh. That was more to himself than to me. “Yeah. I do.” He wasn’t looking at me anymore, but remember a memory that gave him some happiness. “Cut him some slack? Maybe not too much, but give him a chance to try to be a good mate?” “Maybe you need to have another conversation with him about treating me like an equal and not a doll that needs its ass wiped.” “You have a way with words.” Steele got up on his feet. “I’ll talk to him if you promise to stop being so hard on him. You may not see the difference, but Maddox has done a complete 180 since he met you.” “Maybe let him go back a few deg

The truck slowly pulled in front of the garage. Storm clouds were slowly rolling in, making me smile. “I didn’t know it was supposed to rain.” I said, watching Steele carry the food inside. His eyes looked at Maddox, who still hadn’t moved. “Me either.” Steele looked at me and mouthed, “what’s wrong with him?” I pointed at my side and shrugged. “Let’s go sit down in the office.” Pointing to a room behind the front desk, Steele took the food and put it on the table. Only when my hand touched Maddox did his eyes open. There was something haunting in them as he looked at me. “My past sins have hurt you, emotionally and now physically.” “I’m not sure emotionally is the right word.” Rolling my eyes, there wasn’t much I could do but grab his hand and pull him into the office. “I got hamburgers and fries.” Steele was halfway laying it out for us. “I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I got a Dr. Pepper, Root Beer or Pepsi.” “Dr. Pepper, please.”Steele nodded and pushed over a drink to me

“You wanted this shop, not to pay attention to pack shit.” Cade kept cleaning as I kept handing him bolts and nuts. “It’s not that there is a meeting. It’s the fact that he said I am his mate, right? So, that means I am going to be their luna. Reed stopped by here and what if he would have said something to me? I would have looked stupid, not knowing what he was talking about. Plus, you want me to accept we are mates, but then not treat me like I will be a part of pack business? He said I was under your jurisdiction… like I was just an object. If that is the case, I don’t want a mate that sees me like this.” Cade just listened and nodded along. “Yeah, that probably wasn’t the best choice of words.”“You think?” I asked, slapping down another engine part. “You aren’t exactly the easiest person to get along with.” Cade looked at me and smiled. “I’m a delight.” “You are a pain.” Cade even laughed a little. “Did you really want him to tell you what was going to be discussed, or did y
