Chapter 11
Bones
As soon as the coast is clear, I pull out my phone, opening up my app so I can hear what’s being said.
She shut the blinds of her window, so I know she’s in her room.
That look on her face nearly ripped me in two.
Her friend was standing right there. What the hell was I supposed to say?
Yes, I’m stalking you. You’re mine whether you realize it or not.
I had to make sure her friend didn’t think for a single second that I was interested in the girl.
Who the fuck knows who she would’ve told.
What struck me the hardest was the disappointment. It’s as if she wanted me to say yes. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. I wanted to grab her and pull her to me and tell her that I’m fucking obsessed.
“Did you seriously just ask that man if he was stalking you? Zoey? Why on earth would he be stalking you? He’s a Savage Knight. No offense, but that man can have any woman he wants. He’s not going to waste his time on a nineteen-year-old girl.”
She couldn’t be more wrong. The only one I want is that pretty little green-eyed beauty.
Stalking her is my main priority now. Ensuring she’s safe is my only job.
It is a relief though to know that her friend doesn’t suspect anything.
Hopefully, everyone else will be none the wiser to my intentions too.
“I know, Tea. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. It’s just…yesterday, it felt… I don’t know. Like there was some kind of connection between us. But now, I realize how stupid it was for me to even think that.”
She is so wrong. There was definitely a connection. Damn, it makes my dick so fucking hard to know that she’s interested. I saw it in her eyes and in that racing pulse, but I wasn’t sure if I was miscalculating her need. Misreading fear for desire.
“Okay, so can we talk about Cooper now? What did he say to you in class?”
“He said he wants to be alone with me tomorrow night.”
I nearly crack the phone within my grip.
The blood sizzling so hot in my veins I’m about to go commit murder.
Who the fuck is this Cooper? Oh. No. I know exactly who the little shit is.
He’s the one tagged in the photos with her.
That football jock with an arrogant smile.
That piece of shit little kid is not going to lay one fucking finger on my girl.
“So, are things official between you two?”
They fucking better not be. She’s mine.
“No. At least, I don’t think so. I told him I wouldn’t kiss him until our first date, but I don’t even know how I’m going to get out of the house tomorrow night to go to his party.
My dad told me I have to come straight home after the game.
And with Bones following me around, how am I going to sneak off? ”
Sneak off? The fuck I’m letting her go anywhere. I’m going to be locked to her ass if need be.
“I have an idea,” her friend says, and my teeth clench down tighter.
I’m not sure I’m a fan of this girl. She’s a bad influence on my Zoey.
“We’ll come back here after the game. Then we’ll wait until the coast is clear and that huge biker takes off.
Once he’s gone, I’ll distract your dad while you go out the back.
You’ll sneak out to the street where my car will be parked.
And then I’ll come out and meet you. What do you think? ”
I think I’m not going anywhere tomorrow.
I’m going to be staked right outside her door and if she thinks about going anywhere, I’ll be bending her over my knee and spanking that round little ass for being a naughty girl.
I’ll tell Pritchard I saw one of the Venomous Vipers lurking in his neighborhood, and so I want to stay close.
Keep an eye on things. He won’t question my motives. He’ll be thanking me.
And I’ll be punishing that naughty daughter of his with my dick.
“I think that’s a great idea,” Zoey has the fucking nerve to reply. “Fingers crossed it works.”
Oh, she is in so much trouble. And the kid…the one trying to sniff up my girl’s skirt, is going to lose his good fucking arm if he dares to come near her.
