Chapter 18: Together Again
Conner went back to Eric's place to grab his stuff. Then he got to talking to Eric and didn't realize that it was getting late until he looked over at the clock to see that it was almost 6:30. It also started to rain. "Great," he groaned.
"Where are you heading, bro?" Eric asked.
"I'm getting my wife back," Conner replied with a grin.
Eric watched his twin leave with a smile. "Good luck, bro, you'll need it," he mumbled.
(McKnight's Home)
Kira was making some coffee as she got ready to practice her guitar. She let Greg down easy about quitting. He took it pretty hard but then he let her leave. Now, Kira was a guitar teacher again. She jumped slightly as thunder boomed and the rain started to fall. "A good day to stay inside," she commented. She sat down and pulled her guitar up on her knee and looked at the song she was writing. She jumped when there was a knock on her door. She got up to answer the door. She gasped to see Greg standing there. "Greg," She whispered.
"Hello, Kira," he greeted.
Kira let him in and felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden. "Kira, I stopped by to see if you'd reconsider your resignation," he told her. Kira walked into her kitchen trying to get her things put away.
"Greg, I told you. I'm still in love with my husband and I'll always be in love with my husband," she told him.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and tried kissing her neck. "Please, let me go," she whispered.
"Come on, Kira, you know you like it," he insisted.
"No, I don't like it. Please let go."
She pulled out of his arms and she tried to get away from him. Kira gasped when she felt the shoulder of her shirt rip when he went to grab at her. Some of her yellow bra underneath the shirt could be seen. "Get out, get out of my house," she ordered.
"I'm here to get something and I won't leave until I get it," he told her.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Conner pulled up to the house and saw Greg's car in the driveway. "What the hell?" He whispered. All of a sudden he heard a crashing sound. "KIRA!" He shouted. He jumped out of the car and ran into the house.
Kira looked at the unconscious Greg with tears falling down her face. She gasped when someone burst through the door and saw a soaking wet Conner standing there. "Conner," she whispered.
"Kira, I heard something break and came running," he told her.
She ran over and jumped into his arms with tears flowing down her face and relief in her heart. "Should we call the cops?" He asked.
"Already did. I dialed the number when he was trying to attack me," she replied.
"That's my Kira," he murmured.
Kira sighed as she hugged him. She felt so much safer in Conner's arms.
After Greg was arrested, Conner and Kira were on the couch enjoying their time that they were back together again. "Kira, could you tell me what really happened that day?" He asked. Kira sighed as she placed her head on his shoulder.
"Greg called me down to the studio like I told you in that note that he did. I went down there, practiced 'Freak You Out' and when I was about to leave, he grabbed me and kissed me," she explained.
Conner felt a pang of guilt hit him. He wrapped his arms tightly around her. "I'm so sorry that I wasn't listening to you before," he apologized. She placed her head on his chest with a sigh.
"You're forgiven, right now, I'm just glad to have you back," she told him.
He kissed the top of her head with a smile."I should get Chris," Conner commented. Kira grabbed his arm and pulled him down to the couch again. "Kira what are you..." she cut him off. She pulled him into a kiss and pinned him to the couch. She him into a kiss and pinned him to the couch. She pulled back and he looked at her in disbelief. "Wow! The last time you kissed me like that was when we decided to take our relationship to the next level," he recalled.
"I missed you," she told him.
He stroked her face with a smile. "I missed you too," he answered. He placed his hand on the back of her neck and kissed her. She ran her hands through his hair as she deepened the kiss. He sat up, picked her up, and carried her into their room. Kira pulled out of the kiss and started to kiss his neck. He groaned as he set her down on their bed. "I love you, Kira," he murmured.
"I love you too," she answered.
Then he kissed her again as they started to make-love.
When they both reached their climaxes, Conner collapsed on his arms so she wouldn't have to deal with his weight. "Whoa! That was powerful," she commented.
"Don't have to tell me that," he agreed.
He rolled off her and lied down on his side looking at her. She looked back at him with a smile. "So, we've finally made up?" She asked teasingly. He leaned forward and kissed her. She laced her fingers through his as she kissed him back. she placed her head on his chest and fell asleep with a smile on her face. Conner held her to him and smiled as he fell asleep while holding his wife to him. Everything was going to be just fine.
