Chapter 58: This is going to be awkward

Pickle POV

I come in and I see the bedroom door is open as well.

I head over to the room, I see her on the bed in Finn's arms.

"Thanks for leaving the door open for me" I say to him.

He nods with a smile.

There's so much worry on his face.

River quickly turns her eyes to me.

As our eyes lock a brust of heat runs through me.

I can't look away from her beautiful green eyes,  nor do I want to.

"Pickle" she says waving me to her.

I go over to the foot of the bed, she turn slightly and pats the bed on the other side of her.

I look over at Finn for confirmation I guess.

It's his girl, I'm not here to step on toes or cause more problems.

He just looks at me and nods.

I walk to the other side of the bed and take off my boots and sit down stretching out my legs and putting my back against the headboard.

River shifts so she can look at me.

She just smiles and holds my gaze for a min then she says

"Pickle, you saved me" her eyes are now full of tears.

"Please don't cry Kitten" I say wiping a tear from her cheek.

She throws herself into my arms and kisses my cheek softly.

Her kiss burns through me as tingling takes over my body.

"I don't remember everything that happened but I remember you punching that creep and your voice telling me I would be safe"

She takes a deep breath and then takes my hand.

She keeps hold of hand as she kisses Finn's lips and lays on his chest.

"I'll head back out to the couch, holler if you need me"

"No, please stay with me, I feel safer with you here too"

I look around her to Finn who is pulling himself down to get comfortable for her to lay on.

He nods to me.

Okay this is going to be awkward.

"Okay Kitten anything you need" I say unsure.

I mean me and Lucky have shared plenty of women before but that was for sex not something so personal as this.

I've never had a woman stay all night.

I've never shared a bed with any woman.

I slide down a little and get comfortable.

She lays her head on Finn's chest and puts her arm back over her hip and moves it around towards me.

I'm not sure if I should take her hand.

I want to but is that what she wants?

"Pickle, Can you hold my hand? Can you also move closer to me?"

I move a little closer and turn to my side so I can hold her hand easier.

"Thank you" she says squeezing my hand tightly.

Her touch sends a warm sensation across my skin.

I hear let out a sigh as she lays her head back on Finn's chest, he leans down a little and kisses her head.

She wiggles herself into me more, I move my arm over on her hip so she's not holding her arm so far over.

This is nice.

I like being able to touch her.

To make her feel safe.

It doesn't even bother me that Finn's on the other end of this.

After a few minutes I fall asleep.

Finn POV

River is safe and she feels safe and that's all that matters.

I just keep telling myself this over and over.

I can't quit thinking how I let her down.

I let her get hurt.

I'm so guilty about what happened that I even let her bring another man to bed with us.

Pickle what kind of nickname is that anyway?

I can't be mad at him, he's been really respectful and he saved her when I couldn't.

He seems like a great guy and I'm glad he'll be looking out for her while I'm gone but it also makes me a bit jealous.

I'm going to be hundreds of miles away from her and he's going to be here with her, maybe even holding her.

I hate jealousy, I think it's a waste of time and energy.

I feel it though, maybe it's because we haven't had a talk yet about what's going to happen while I'm gone.

Damn It!  Lincoln was right we should of talked but instead I was thinking with my dick instead of my head.

Now everything's fucked up and I deserve to feel like shit.

I'm just going to hold her for as long as I can, because once daylight comes I might lose her.

She's asleep finally I can hear her breathing peacefully.

I close my eyes just listening to her breathing.

She's breathing calmly now.

I fall asleep listening to her breathing.

I feel her moving around.

She has her ass against me, her head is on his chest.

What the fuck am I laying on?

Fuck, am I laying on his arm!

That's fucking awkward, I hurry and shift my head back to the pillow.

As I do I hear laughter, I quickly look over and see Lincoln and Chailor standing in the doorway.

Chailor is laughing so hard she has her legs crossed and tears streaming down her face.

She's also flashing her phone showing what I'm assuming is pictures she took.

"Looks like you guys had fun" Lincoln says laughing.

I put my finger to my mouth and point to the living room I better go explain that this isn't what it looks like.

Great! This is going to go well.

They are still laughing when I open the door.

"Nice one Finley, I expected you to help her out of her shell not to have a damn threesome! Babe we haven't even done that yet" she gives a fake sad look at him.

I just rolled my eyes at them.

I must have it written all over my face that I'm done with their bullshit.

"Finley sit and tell us what happened" Linc says looking at me, his face serious now
