She’s nonetheless wanting down the highway, and I can see the stress on her face. One thing’s up. That protecting feeling that solely she will be able to encourage in me rushes ahead, and I do know that I am not going to offer her a selection. I do know what she wants, even when she’s going to be cussed.

“Let me rephrase that.” I take her gently by the shoulder and switch her so she’s taking a look at me and solely me. Cupping her chin in my hand, I drive her to focus whereas I say my piece. “I am taking you residence. You are not driving the rattling bus once you go away right here. Ever. And I am going to choose you up for classes, too. Now let’s go.”

Bailey opens her mouth like she’s going to protest, however she sees the look on my face and stops. I lead her over to my truck, open the door, and assist her up. I purchased the truck, an enormous black Ford, model new a 12 months in the past. It is certainly one of my most prized possessions.

Bailey’s tiny subsequent to me, and I discover myself smiling at how small she is. It makes me really feel a lot larger, and I am not ashamed to confess that it turns me on. She’d be really easy to select up, to maneuver simply how I would like her.

Bailey is quiet, pulling her seatbelt on and looking out wherever however at me as she does so. “I, um. I do not want you to select me up, not less than. My pal Renae drops me off on her method to yoga courses.”

“High quality. However I am taking you residence. Day by day. After each lesson.”

Bailey seems to be at me along with her large blue eyes and bites her lip. She would not argue with me, however I can see the wheels turning. “However why?”

I pull out into site visitors, keying within the deal with she provides me into the GPS. “Since you stated you are being stalked. How the hell do you suppose I’ll allow you to take public transportation when somebody is out to get you? What sort of man would I be if I allow you to try this?”

Bailey seems to be down, and I see a tear run down her cheek. Fuck. She’s so delicate. My coronary heart breaks for her.

“I am going to shield you, child,” I inform her. “And I am not going to let something occur to you.”

She takes a deep breath, after which meets my eyes, nodding. “Thanks, Porter. You’ve got already helped me a lot, and we have solely had two classes.”

“I am critical, Bailey. I’ll deal with you.” I do not inform her how or that I plan on caring for each portion of her life, not simply her self-defense coaching. She’s not prepared to listen to it but, so it’d scare her off. However Bailey isn’t going to need for something ever once more. The extra time I spend along with her, the extra I am constructive that she’s meant to be mine. For now, although, I am going to let her suppose I am simply her coach, and that I am speaking about her classes and nothing else.

I’ve all the time had a powerful want to guard girls, and Bailey isn’t any exception. However there’s one thing about her, about her candy nature and her innocence, that calls to the very deepest a part of me. I’ll have her, sooner quite than later.

Bailey swallows and nods, wiping at her eyes. “You are a good man.”

“Not only a man,” I inform her, making an attempt to make her smile. “A boxer. A fighter. You are within the fingers of one of the best, child.”

She’s blushing once more, and I am unable to assist however grin. Quickly sufficient, she’s smiling too, similar to I deliberate.

The drive is twenty-five minutes with site visitors, and I hold Bailey speaking, telling me about her life and her household. Listening to that her father deserted the household makes me so indignant that I may tear the steering wheel off the sprint. It is smart that she’d be so flighty round me—first, her dad disappears, after which her ex stalks her. It is wonderful that she trusts males in any respect anymore.

However I am not simply asking these inquiries to find out about her. I additionally have to hold myself distracted as a result of being this near her, smelling her candy scent of vanilla and jasmine, is driving me wild. Her legs are naked and tan, and each time I look over at her, she’s shifting and crossing them, which sends her scent immediately at me.

By the point we pull into the driveway, my cock is so laborious I may use it to pound nails, and Bailey’s flushed face and parted lips aren’t making it any higher. Our shut proximity isn’t misplaced on her.

“This can be a cute home,” I inform her, glancing on the pale blue bungalow.

“It is not mine,” she admits. “It is my pal’s. I am staying right here for the summer time.”

This catches my consideration. “The identical pal that had handprints on her window? You are still staying right here?”

Bailey simply shrugs, wanting uncomfortable. “It is the one place I’ve.”

I flex my fingers on the steering wheel, making an attempt to manage myself. This pisses me off much more than the bus driving. This asshole following her is aware of that she lives right here, and even when she’s staying with a pal and is not alone, it is nonetheless not secure sufficient for my liking.

“Bailey, let me allow you to.” The phrases slip out of my mouth earlier than I can cease them, and the look on her face makes me glad that they did. “I imply it. I’ve loads of room. Stick with me.”

“Porter, I could not.” She seems to be like she’s going to argue, so I minimize her off.

“We are able to go get your stuff tonight. You do not want to return there.”

“However, Porter, I simply met you yesterday!” Her voice is rising in pitch, her nerves getting one of the best of her. “I am completely secure with Renae.”

I can inform she’s on the sting, and if I hold pushing, she’s going to flee. And I’m actually, actually wanting ahead to that therapeutic massage tonight, so I am going to give her a tiny little bit of area. Even when I nonetheless plan on shifting her in with me.
