Ethan POV
I held her small hand in mine, my finger gliding over the back of it as I stared at my kitten who’s sleeping on the bed after being attended to by the doctor.
The doctor has said that she fainted out of shock and luckily, she’d woke up today or anytime soon.
I want her to wake up today. To tell me about the motherfucker who tried to do shit with her.
That moment when she smiled at me, and looked up at me with those pitiful and hope filled eyes, I realised how precious this kitten is to me
She counted on me, she called me when she needed me…. She fucking relied on me.
Does that mean that she could also not forget me?
Of course, the circumstances around our meeting is not one to easily forget, and now, she’s here, lying on my bed, in my room and in my house…. Completely at my mercy.
I stared at her face, brushing some strands of her hair off her face to stare at her lips. Those succulent and luscious lips.
I’ve always imagined how tender they’d be on my lips and how she’d taste.
A small smile crawled on my lips as a crazy thought found its way down to my mind.
Would she know? No! Of course she won’t know and it won’t hurt to steal a kiss from this unconscious damsel.
I leaned forward, lips pouted, but as soon as my lips touched hers, my phone rang, sending me up on my feet.
Damn! What was that? That was god-damned too loud.
I held my chest and released a low cuss.
I fetched my phone out of my pocket, and Andre’s name glared at me on the phone.
Damn that bitch! He’s the one who stopped me from kissing my kitten.
Swiping to the receiver icon, I placed the phone over my ear
“You found who you’re looking for?” Andre snickered over the phone.
Like seriously? That’s what he’s gonna say
I mentally rolled my eyes, settling back on the chair.
“Huh… I’ve seen her,” I replied
“Her?!” Andre yelled.
Damn! My ears are gonna come off at this rate.
What’s wrong with the pronoun I used?.
“Who’s she?”
“Someone you don’t know,”
Andre scoffed, I could clearly imagine him rolling his eyes.
Such a busy head. Must he poke his nose into everything?
“Anyway…” I ran a tongue over my lower lip, looking over at Dawn who’s still sleeping calmly.
Damn! She still looks so dangerously sexy in her sleep.
“Thank you!” I mumbled.
Andre gasped dramatically and I scoffed.
“You… You fucking thank me?”
“Take it or leave it, asshole!” I grinned, dropping the call.
I dropped my phone on the table then stood on my feet.
I’m fucking glad that I was the one that came straight to her mind when she was in trouble.
Tilting my head forward, I placed long tender kisses on her forehead.
Damn, it’s been a long time since a girl got me completely hooked, and being with her now, I’m never gonna let her go.
I’m claiming her…. As mine
Dawn POV
“I don’t want to!” I screamed, tears rolling down my face as I stared helplessly at my Dad who doesn’t look taken aback.
Of course, he must have expected my reaction to be nothing less than this. To scream my lungs out, argue with him all night but he’ll still remain adamant.
My heart ached, pains such that I’ve never felt before coursed through my body as I was being dragged into the room.
I casted a pitiful look to my mom, but she merely looked away from me with a dejected sigh.
Mom couldn’t do anything. She can only watch as her only beloved daughter is being dragged into the room to be locked up.
What have I ever done to deserve this from my Dad? I’ve always been obedient, never for once have I ever disobeyed him. Then why… Why can’t he just leave me alone this time?
Dragging my feet up to my chest, I buried my head in them and let my tears crawl down my face.
I could no more scream, no. My lung was tired of making that hopeless endless cry for help
Who’s going to help me? No one… Unless I’m ready to agree to what my Dad wants.
And I’ll agree to that over my fucking dead body!
****
I ran with all my might, my feeble legs scrambling down for safety.
It’s been hell in there, and now that I’ve escaped, I won’t get myself dragged in there again.
But what can I do? How can I survive? Those motherfuckers are trailing closely behind me.
They’re almost behind me, and any mistake, I’ll be shoved in that hellhole again.
I scrambled into the mall, pushing people out of my way until I stopped before the female restroom.
I sauntered in and bolted the door behind me.
I know that this is just a temporary safe place. No! I fucking know that they’ll caught up with me later.
My heart thudded so hard in my chest it hurt, my lips trembled, and my body shook as I tried to bite off my pain.
God please save me. I don’t wanna get locked up again, and there’s no way on Earth I’m doing Dad’s will.
I sprang up quickly when a thought ran through my already dazed mind. Fetching out the card in my pocket, I fetched the phone I got from someone and I dialled the number on the card.
I don’t wanna do this. God knows that I don’t wanna set my eyes on that manwhore again, but again, he’s the only one who can get me out of this shit.
“I’m here. You’re safe with me!”
****
“No!”
I flickered my eyes open, sitting bolted right on what seemed like a bed.
My head hurts so hard, causing involuntary tears to scramble down my face. But I’m not after my hurting head now, I’m dying to know where I am.
Have I been caught or have I been saved by Mr Ethan?
I mentally sent a prayer up, my eyes momentarily closing and opening, afraid to look around me to know where on Earth I am.
“You’re awake?”
That voice! That voice! I won’t forget that voice for anything.
A relief sigh rippled from my chest and escaped through my lips.
Damn! He was there. He was not only in my dreams, he’s in my reality.
I turned over at him, but as soon as my eyes settled on him, my heart stopped beating, my eyes went wide and my face heated up.
Damn this man, is it that normal for him to always be naked?…. Especially around someone.
Fine! I get that he’s a manwhore, but he could do it with some shame.
Now, I’m forced to drool over that naked wet body of his.
Damn those collarbones!
My eyes got trapped on his wide wet chest and I could swear that I felt my hand itched to touch them.
How strong would it be, and how comfortable would it be with my head on that sexy chest.
My eyes trailed down to his lower body and a loud gasp escaped my lips.
Damn! This is why towel was made, not just to decorate the house but to fucking put on.
I could feel my face heated up as I covered my closed eyes with my palm.
“Can… You put on something, please?” I mumbled. My voice was low.
Why do we always meet in awkward situation.
Ethan chuckled. I heard his feet shuffled up near the bed and I backed away.
“No!” I screamed.
God-damned it! Don’t let him come here with all those naked bulky body.
I heard him chuckle again, but this time, he sounded so near that I could feel his warm temperatures on my skin.
“If you continue acting cute, kitten, I might decide to have your lips on….”
I swiftly pulled him away, jumping down from the bed, my arms subconsciously wrapped around my body.
Asshole! Must he always talk dirty?
“Shut… Shut up!” I snapped.
Ethan chuckled, he raised himself off the bed and moved away from me.
“I guess you’re fine now,” he said, heading toward the large closet in the room. “I saved you again,”
“Am I owing you?” I gritted out.
This is so like him. I’ve only met him thrice, and this personality of him he’s shown me twice.
No! He will never help someone for free…. How pathetic and petty.
Ethan turned to look at me, a dark smirk grazed his lips as he eyed me up and down.
“You have a debt to pay, kitten”
