Free TRAPPED (Breaking Free Book 2) by C S Court Page B

help but giggle lightly as Hunter and Lottie both pull out their phones and start snapping away.
    I begin to make ridiculous poses, and love every second of it. I dread to think of what I look like in the photos, but I’ m having far too much fun to care.
    “ Oh my god Connie, this has so got to be a new facebookphoto. You look stunning girl . ” I’ m simply gobsmacked, I did n’ t do anything different with my make-up, I clipped my hair up loosely so tendrils frame my face, and the clothes, well they are new, but are paired with whit e‘ Convers e’, ’ not exactly dressy.
    “ Erthanks I suppose. I was kind of going for the casual look . ” Lottie thrusts her phone at me, open to a picture of me with my side to her and face looking over my shoulder smiling. I must admit, I do look hot, I look how I was before Dan, happy and my eyes hold a sparkle they have n’ t for years .“ You would not say you have been run through the mill chick, you look gorgeous. Now let us stick this picture up on Facebook as a big fuck you to Dan . ” I snap my head in Hunte r’ s direction, but he simply smiles at me, not objecting in the slightest.
    “ You know what, go for it. I am happy, I have an amazing man, the best best-friend a girl could ask for, the most beautiful and adorable children ever and an amazing Mum and Dad. I t’ s about time I picked myself up and got on with my life . ”
    For the first time in forever I truly mean it. I am so sick of being kicked down, tired and fed up of living how Dan wants me to live or looking over my shoulder. His actions the last few days just go to show that he has completely lost the plot, and I am never putting myself and my children through that again, if anything, him doing what he did has finally given me the push I need to close the door and leave that chapter of my life behind. Onwards and upwards from here on out.
    I have one more questionrelated to Dan, after that i t’ s done .“ I just need to know, when you found me, was Dan caught as well ? ” To be fair, I would say I am fearful the answer is going to be no, but I know Hunter will protect me and the kids, deep down I know we are safe with him.
    “ We have highly skilled professionals tracking him down as we speak, I would love to say we caught the bastard, but the slippery fucker did get away. You have nothing to worry about though baby, they will catch him, and in the meantime I will keep you safe. I let you down last time, but I will not let you down again . ” Hunte r’ s fists are screwed up so tightly by his sides, his knuckles turning white and a tick in his jaw.
    This man continues to amaze me time and time again, to think he truly believes Dan taking me was his fault is almost laughable, I should have realised he would n’ t let me walk away so easily.
    Without a second thought, I slowly make my way towards him, tilting my head back to look in to his sea blue eyes .“ Hunter I have brought nothing but a shit storm to your door since I met you, you have no reason to do what you have been doing for me, but you continue to do it anyway, most men would have walked away the second shit got bad. Heck, most men would have walked away the second they realised I had kids. You ca n’ t ever blame yourself for Da n’ s craziness, only he is to blame for that, the time I have spent with you goes above and beyond anything I have ever experienced with any man. From now on, Dan and Ash stay in the past, and we will deal with any shit that comes our way. I’ m going to start living from now on, not just existing, and I want you to be a part of that full time if you want it. You just need to remember I’ m a package deal, Alex and Lily will always come first, but I’ m really hoping we can figure everything out together, as a couple . ” 
    Hunter leans down and takes my lips passionately, heating my blood to almost boiling point before pulling back .“ Connie baby, I’ ve wanted you from day one, do n’ t ever
