Adi continued to care for her Rejects, dealing with Cutter's limitless bullshit.

"Adi, come on, babygirl. Why don't you let me make you laugh?"

"You do. At your attempts to steal me from Otis."

"Aww, you need a real man. Why're you with his scrawny little ass?"

Adi smirked, she had dirt on Cutter. "You say that. But if I recall correctly, there was a time when that scrawny little ass was decent enough for you."

"Adi." Otis hissed warningly.

"What're you gettin' at?" Cutter glared. Baby seemed confused at the whole situation.

"You and Otis got drunk. You were desperate for some pussy, and thought hey, there's a warm body there. Might as well make do."

"ADI." Otis warned.

"Shhhh...I'm sorry, baby. But I'm trying to make a point."

Otis closed his eyes and leaned back against his pillow, knowing he wouldn't win an argument with her when she was riled up.

"So...He was good enough of a piece of ass for you to rape twice, but not for me to be with?"

"Daddy...She's lyin' isn't she? You didn't do that..."

"No, she's not." Otis spoke up.

"Daddy...After what you knew happened to him?"

"Yeah...I know...I know..."

Baby fell silent, mulling over the situation.

Adi leaned over and kissed Otis.

"Don't think I'm not fucking pissed at you."

"Why?"

"You just told Baby!"

"I said I was sorry, sweetie. Please forgive me?"

"Yeah, Cutter said he was sorry, too." He glared meaningfully at her.

"Otis."

"What."

"I literally saved your fucking life. Shut up."

"That was my secret."

"And now you don't have to hide anymore. The people who care about you most know, and understand. See? Feels better, doesn't it?"

"...I'm still pissed."

"You'll get over it."

"Uhm...Adi...?" Baby looked at her. "I'm glad you told me. Now I know why Otis and Daddy fight so much...And why Otis hates him so much...I'm not mad at either one of you...I just really don't like that it happened."

Otis glared at Cutter.

"But...ah...Adi...? Could you help me up to the bathroom? I need a shower."

"Sure. Just be careful about those wounds. And I'll have to wrap them up when you come down again, okay?"

Baby nodded as Adoria helped her out of the bed and slowly up the stairs.

"I fucking hate you."

"Wow! Breaking News!"

"Stop fucking acting like you'll ever get her."

"Why? I just might."

"God damn you, why can't you just let me be happy? I'm finally happy with her...I worked so fucking hard to get her. You have no idea."

"I do. That's why it'll be even better when I take her from you." Cutter smiled evilly as Adi came back down the stairs.

She kissed Otis's head, stroking his hair. "I'm gonna get you two somethin' to eat, okay?"

"Yeah...Thanks, mama." He kissed her.

She walked into the kitchen, out of ear shot.

"The fuck do you mean, when you take her from me?"

"I'm gonna take her away from you, boy! I'm gonna sweep her off her feet like the prince fuckin' charming I am. And you know what? I'm gonna fuck her like a real man. A REAL fuckin' man, you hear me, you pissy pussy willow piece of shit? And she's gonna scream my name. Oohhh, she's gonna moan and groan like she never has before. Ohhh it's gonna sound so sweet. And she's gonna be all mine then. I'm gonna take her from behind like I took you, you weak fuck! I'll make her my bitch just like I made you mine, only she's not gonna run away cryin' like a little pussy like you did. She's gonna just want to keep comin' back for more and more." He licked his lips. "Ooh, I bet she's got a tight little ass..."

Otis glared, his vision going blank from rage. There was nothing he could do right now, but be forced to sit and listen to the older man's threats against the love of his life.

"Just you wait, old man. Just you fuckin' wait."

"Bring it on, whitey."

Adoria entered the living room again, with a plate for each of them. She sat and ate hers, too, carefully watching Otis to make sure he actually ate his.

"As soon as Baby gets out of the shower, I'm taking you up, Otis."

"Heyy, what about me? Don't I get special treatment?" Cutter smirked. "You could shower me, pretty mama."

"Ah, no. I'll help you up, but I'm not helping you shower."

She heard the water turn off and went up the stairs to help Baby down and back into her bed, redressing her wounds.

She helped Otis to stand, smiling up at him. "I forgot how much taller you are than me."

He kissed her head. "A decent bit." He wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling into her hair. God he loved her.

"Come on, baby." She helped him up the stairs, biting her lip girlishly as she looked at him.

"What?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good. A little stiff and sore. Why? Got somethin' in mind?" He smirked.

"Yeah. I just might." She let her hands wander up his shirt, pulling it off over his head. She kissed his chest, smiling up at him again.

He stepped out of the pajama pants and boxers she had evidently put him in, and she was on him. She fisted the hair at the back of his head as she kissed him, letting her other hand wander his body. She all but shoved him in the shower, turning on the hot water. God, she had missed him. It had only been a few days, but god, she had missed him.

She kissed his collarbone. "I'll let you actually shower first, then we can have some fun."

He grumbled, but showered, grimacing a little as the soap touched his wounds.

"You done?" She asked.

"Yeah...?" He rolled his eyes at her.

She pinned him to the shower wall, kissing him hungrily. She heard him moan in protest.

"Adi...careful...Those still hurt."

"Sorry, sorry." She kissed his neck, listening him moan in pleasure this time.

"Oh, god yes..." He let a small smile grace his face.

She stumbled out of the shower with him and led him to a bedroom she had set up for them, throwing him on the bed. He cried out in pain.

"Ooh! Sorry!"

"Worth it...Definitely worth it." He managed to choke.

She giggled, climbing on top of him. They made love for the first time in their new home.

When they were finished, she rolled over beside him. He was utterly exhausted- he wasn't entirely recovered yet. Normally it wouldn't have phased him.

"Come on. Let's get you dressed and back downstairs."

Otis groaned. "Is this our bedroom?"

"Yeah..."

"You bought a fucking house, Adi..."

"Happy anniversary!" She smiled innocently.

He shook his head, rolling his eyes.

"It was just gonna be for us, but...Your house kind of blew up."

"Yeah. I know."

"So...It's not just us right now."

"Unfortunately, no."

"But someday." She kissed him. She helped him get dressed and helped him back down the stairs and into bed, redressing his wounds as well.

She wasn't as kind helping Cutter up and down the stairs.
