Devil POV.
“I’m driving you Elle” I decided later that day, Elle had work, I knew the owner, I had done a job for the owner before it was a protection job, but the owner loved me, he trusted me and I trusted him. That’s why I decided to allow Elle to work there, last time I was over they were short on waitress, I might have had a talk with the owner, including a raise, it wasn’t the cafe paying, it was me, but that is our small secret.
“No need, I can walk” she replies, it wasn’t an option, it was more of an order, she need to get used to obeying me, I can’t keep her safe unless she does as I say.
“I said I’m driving Elle, let’s go” I ordered her walking her outside of the bedroom, she’s still wearing her old clothes, I wanted to buy her a new wardrobe, but that would be hard, she doesn’t agree on it yet. I didn’t want to force her, it would happen, but I had to get her to agree to it, it just took some time.
“You are meanie, you know that?” she says pouting walking with me toward the elevator, I just laugh, I’m not just a meanie, I’m much worse than that.
“Oh, honey. I was called much worse words” I say holding her hand, it was much smaller than mine, she was such a sweet little thing, not skinny, not short, she was average in everyone’s eyes, but not mine, for me she was just perfect, the cutest.
I got her inside my car still holding her hand, I didn’t want to let go, I drove with one hand, it wasn’t that difficult but Elle’s hold on my hand got tighter in the short drive, I loved speed, I loved the speed, I was queen of my own world, nothing could stop me no matter what.
“Next time, we’ll walk” Elle says once we make it to the cafe, I don’t mind walking, I just don’t feel like it most days. I smiled and left the car holding her hand again, she blushed as we walked inside the cafe, I could see the owner, he smiled seeing me come in. That old dog is always in the shop, he trust no one but himself when it comes to his business, smart choice.
It wasn’t just him looking at us come in, there was another guy there, he had the uniform on, but he didn’t look like a regular college student, I could read him easily, that man was something else, he had something else hidden. He had eyes on my Elle, not liking the look he’s giving her nor the smile she was returning, I pulled her closer to me, I knew I was just dropping her by. But now it seems like I’m going to be staying for a while, I’m not leaving her alone.
I took a seat and watched her go in to change her clothes, the uniform suit her well, it covers her fully, a good thing because I’m a jealous bitch, I don’t like people watching what’s mine. Elle came back out and walked toward me, she had a smile on her pretty face, her eyes lighting up.
“You leaving?” she ask me, she want me to leave! I frown at that, I wasn’t leaving her with that guy who had his eyes all over her.
“No, how about we share a coffee?” I ask her, with a smile.
“Uh…I have to work” she says with a blush, of course, she did.
“Then I’ll have one cappuccino and Elle please,” I tell her, she left my table with a blush on her face, and she moves to get me my coffee before sitting with me still blushing.
“I’ll get in trouble” she whispered side looking at the owner, I turned to him and waved, and he waved back with a smile.
“You’re all set” I informed her drinking my coffee slowly, she looked at me with a blush again, and I noticed the guy observing us, his eyes were following every move Elle did.
“Elle, who’s that guy” I ask her right away.
“That’s Paul, he works with me” she replies with a shrug, she thinks it’s just a friendly coworker, but he’s hiding something!
“Did he try anything funny Elle?” I asked her again, she blushed, but her head shook no vigorously, I believed her but I still didn’t trust the other guy.
I had my coffee and we talked for a bit before the cafe started to get full, she had to get back to work, and I had to let her go, but I stayed in my place watching her move from one table to another, I saw her interfere with other costumers, making sure everyone is nice and friendly with her, with my baby. I don’t know what Elle did to me, but she succeeded in making me fall for her, for the first time since my parents sold me, I was feeling again, for her.
Elle and this Paul guy were talking and chatting, I saw them interfere, and I watched them laugh at some jokes before pulling back to work, it made my blood boil, seeing her laugh with this guy, she was mine. I finally had to leave, I had someone to meet, so I called Elle over, stood up and pulled her in my arms she turned red right away.
“Devil, I’m at work” she blushed trying to pull away, but I wasn’t letting her go, my mouth met hers, and instead of my usual pecks I leave over her lips, I kissed her for real, my tongue invading her mouth, she looked shocked at what I’m doing but I had darker, kinkier plans for her, not just a simple kiss. When I pulled back, I had a smile on my face while Elle was blushing bloody red, I couldn’t help but smile at her blush, she was adorable.
“See you tonight love,” I say with a wink before leaving the cafe, making sure to throw one last look toward Paul, he saw the kiss, good!
I left the cafe with every intention of coming back, of seeing this Paul guy, he got something he’s hiding and I plan on finding it out. I left the shop for now and got in my car, I drove off to check on my assignment, this time we were meeting in the mall, in the food court to be exact, I sat down and waited for him to come, it’s the same idiot as last time, he never learns, he looked like a fish out of the water, I wanted to laugh at him. I handed him the file with all my findings while waiting for my payment, I either left the mall a happy shopper, or someone dies.
Lucky for them, I left a happy shopper, I even went to the shops and decided to buy Elle some things, I got her new clothes, things I knew she needed her clothes were way too thin for this weather or my liking. I chose girlie things for her sweaters, skirts, dresses, and even new boots, my hands were full of clothes before I left.
I didn’t go home I did a detour to the cafe, I waited in my car far away waiting for Paul to leave, I followed him, but he didn’t go to the local college like he said he would instead he went toward a bar, one that’s owned by the Irish mafia, I knew this guy was no good.
I waited for him to come out, I sat back and waited it didn’t take him long, I followed him again until I got him in an alley alone, I had my work kit back in my car if needed but for now, we are going to have one friendly chat. I got out and walked toward him, I had a short temper, and I couldn’t help it, it’s bad for my work, but when it’s about someone who belongs to me, all bets are off.
“You,” I say walking straight toward him.
“Yes?” he replies acting all innocent.
“Stay away from my girl” I order him, our eyes meeting, and he just smirks.
“The Devil itself” he replies still smiling.
“You heard about me, good. Then you know better than messing with me, even the Irish wouldn’t be able to save you from my hands” I tell him before I leave back to my car, back to my princess.
