easy…” She said before she started to cry again. Scooting to the center of the seat, I gathered her into my arms and held her in my lap while she cried. Well, if nothing else, I’m earning her trust right? Get your shit together Young or you’re going to be the one that loses and again this woman will bring down your family.
Chapter Five Mary
Here I was in his lap again. I found that I loved the comforting and safe feeling when I was in his arms. This man was made from one of my dreams. He saved me from my idiot manager. He didn’t even blink an eye to protect me when he was still going off on me. I wished I could find someone that would love me for me and not what I did or could give. I just wanted someone to protect and love me. Like what Kayla has. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me in closer, rubbing my back. “ You need to get away from him, darling. He’s not a very good man. Why can’t you just fire him?” “ You have not seen the half of what he can do. I have tried to fire him before and I will not make that mistake again. My sister lived in fear for sixteen years and I watched how her life fell apart every single day in those years. It was one week with Kyle and I couldn’t do it. I know now why it took my sister so long to get up the courage to go after her attacker.” “ He attacked you?” He asked as he pulled back to look in my eyes. All I could do was nod my head; my voice was gone. I realized how close I was to his face. My eyes dropped to his lips as his hand stopped rubbing my back. He leaned down slowly watching my eyes. I lifted my lips and closed the last of the distance. The kiss was gentle and light at first. He pulled back and looked at me for a second, before I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck and our lips connected for a more demanding kiss. He licked and nipped at my lower lip until I opened and his tongue entered my mouth and brushed my tongue cautiously at first. Once I pushed back, the kiss became eager and full of hunger. His hands were fisted in my hair and mine were tangled in his as we devoured each other ’s mouth. A knock on the window, pulled us apart, but we just looked at each other and not at whoever was knocking. That was the first time I have ever felt anything like that when kissing someone. Just kissing him was almost enough to send me over the edge. This man knew how to kiss. The knock came again. I turned my head to see who was at the window and I blanched. “Hey Nick…” “ Get out here, please.” Tobey opened the door and lifted me down to the ground and exited after me. He had a protective hand around my waist. I loved the feeling of being protected. However, there was no need to protect me here. I raised my hand to his face to let him know it was okay. I ran over and threw my arms around my brother. “Nick! I’ve missed you!” Nick wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. “You just saw me yesterday. You can ’t suck up to me and have me forget the phone call I just got from Nate. How are you? Are you okay?” I had to laugh at my overprotective brother because as he asked me, he never took his eyes off Tobey. “What’s so funny Mare?” He asked finally looking me. “ You are,” I smiled up at him. He frowned. “How am I funny?” “ Because you’re asking me how I am, but not taking your eyes off Tobey.” I laughed as I walked over to Tobey. Rising up on my toes, I pretended to kiss him on the cheek, but whispered in his ear instead. “Just go with me on this, it’ll make it easier for you, okay?” He nodded his head and put his arm around me again. “ This is Tobey, my boyfriend. Tobey this is my brother, Nicholas. We all call him Nick. He’s really overprotective,” I finished with a giggle. “ Overprotective? I stand here while Nate tells me that your crazy ass
