Taunting the Stalker

Chapter 18- Ryder

The second that idiot goes and talks to my girl my fists clench.
I don't fucking like him.
Sweetheart? Really?
She looks uncomfortable.

I'm already standing as he tells her
"Don't be like that honey"
Fucking prick.
Who is this guy?
And what the fuck does he have to do with my girl?

"I don't have time to talk right now Sam..." she says softly.
I'm dealing with him the second he fucking does anything.

I watch as he reaches out to grab her and I see red.
Before I know it I'm grabbing him, pulling him back.
"I think she said to leave her alone." I tell him with a calm kind of threat in my voice.

Try me. I dare you.

"Who are you? A fucking bouncer or something?" The guy spits out, looking pissed.
Good.
He tries to squirm out of my grip so I just grip him harder, smirking internally when he winces.
Not a fucking chance.

"Nah. Just someone who's more than happy to pound your fucking face in if you make her frown" I say, meaning every last word.
Nobody touches my girl.

"You know this guy Hays?" He asks, turning to look at my girl.
Hays?
God I want to kill him right here.

"You should leave Sam." She tells him
Good fucking girl.
"I'll show you out" I tell him all too happily, taking the opportunity to drag him out the door.
I watch as he drives off, making sure to take down his plate numbers.
Stupid fucker.

I come back inside seeing my pretty girl all shaken up.
Should've grabbed him the second he came in here. Before he had a chance to even speak to her.

She thanks me for taking care of him, looking nervous.
Always doll. Always.
I try and take her mind off things, ordering one of those drinks she likes from her.
I just stay there quietly through the whole night, sensing she didn't want to talk about it.

When it came time for me to walk her out to her car, I tried to make her feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
This guy was still bugging me though.

Before she could get in her car, I stopped her, gently turning her to face me.
I asked her for her phone and she handed it over, looking up at me confused.
I typed my number in her contacts, handing it back.

"You call me if he bothers you ever again, yeah?" I tell her softly, trying not to scare her.
I just wanted to make sure she's safe.
She tries to tell me not to worry, that it's not a big deal but I cut her off.

You are the most fucking important thing in my world.
It is a big deal.

"You call me. Okay?" I say firmer.
"Okay" she replies softly, just looking up at me.
Fuck she looks so damn pretty.
Keep your eyes on me doll.

"Good girl" I tell her and I can practically see her eyes dilate.
Fucking perfect.

I can't help myself. I lean in closer.

I can feel how hard her heart is beating as I kiss her, savoring every fucking second of her lips against mine before I force myself to pull away.

She has this glazed over look in her eyes as she sits back in her car.
Adorable. I fucking love this girl.
All mine.

I tell her goodnight, but I don't even think she even hears me as she drives home.
I smile my entire way to her house.
I finally kissed her.
About fucking time.
Her lips were so fucking soft.
And that whimper when I pulled away...
Fuck.
I could've fucked her right against her car.
Sounded so fucking sweet...

I watched as she stepped out of her bedroom, only wearing some panties and a t shirt.
Looking so fucking edible.
She grabbed herself a glass of water before heading back up to bed.
Goodnight doll.

About 30 minutes later, I make my way up to her room.
There she is... my fucking angel.
I walk over to her, tracing over her pretty face before placing some kisses all over her, then one on her lips... just to feel them again...

I come to lay down next to her, and her sleeping body automatically curls up into my arms.
Like it's second nature.

I wrap my arms around her, letting her sink deeper into my warmth.
I got you baby.
I'll never let anything happen to you.

My fingers glide up the back of her t shirt, raking my fingers down her back, causing her to let out a sleepy hum.
My other hand rests on her hip, my fingers brushing over her ass softly.
I press a kiss to her head, thinking of what it would be like when she's finally mine.
Like a fucking dream.

Maybe I should just ask her out...
Be the normal, thoughtful kind of guy that she needs.
And never fucking let her find out the lengths I've gone for her.
I want her to feel safe in my arms, not scared.
I'd never harm her.

I wish I knew what happened with that guy in the bar earlier.
Sam.
I can't imagine what would ever bring someone to hurt such a perfect fucking human.
Fucking scum.

I guess it's not important.
Seeing as I'll make sure he can never hurt my girl again.
Never.

But I'll enjoy my night with her first, making sure she's safe and comfortable after everything.
She'll always be my priority.
As the sun comes up, I kiss her pretty lips one last time before I leave.

I have someone to go handle.
Anything for you doll.
