ask to stay with her.
As we pull into the driveway there is a van pulled up right to the door and I can see people taking stuff out of it. When we come to a stop Noah gets out opens the car door for me offers me his hand and I take it. Lara manages to get herself out but not without complaint.
My body immediately reacts, I feel the heat, and Noah stiffens too and I look up at him, “He's here isn't he?”
“Yes, but I will explain that in a bit, let's get you inside and settled. I don't know about you but I could do with a large drink.”
“Noah this isn't a good idea, I should go...”
He takes my face in his hands, “Listen to me, I'm not letting you or my sister out of my sight, I'm not sure if you are in danger. So, until the police say otherwise you are staying with me.” And with that he lays a soft kiss to my lips.
As we walk into the house I say, “Nice black eye. Does it hurt? How did that happen?”
He laughs, “Always full of questions, it's nothing, a misunderstanding. You should see the other guys face.”
We both stop dead in our tracks and look in the same direction and we watch Juan walking towards us. The heat hits me but I don't feel it too much as I’m still numb from the burglary, so I ignore it the best I can. Juan stops in front of us and looks me over, “Are you ok? What’s happened?”
Noah turns to me, “Peppa, can you go and make yourself comfortable in the lounge? Help yourself to the bar. I will explain to Juan what has happened so you don't have to relive it ok?”
“Ok thank you.” I smile up at Juan then walk away.
I enter the lounge with its massive TV, huge open fire and big comfy red sofa's to find Lara already there with a drink in her hand. I plop myself down on the opposite sofa from her and rest my head back against it and close my eyes. She makes a phone call and all I hear is yes I'm fine, and then I hear her walk from the room still on the phone.
The shock of the night finally hits me and I let the tears roll and I wrap my arms around me to try and stop my body from shaking. I feel someone sit down next to me and I know its Juan because as soon as he touches me my body burns for him. And then I feel someone at my feet and I look down to see Noah sitting there looking concerned and he puts his hand on my knee and that’s when my body flames for them both.
“Peppa, it’s ok, I won’t let anyone hurt you and I will help to find out who did this.”
I turn my head to look at Juan, “Whatever this is between us, you don't know me, and you can't fight my battles. Can you both please take your hands off me as I can't handle these feelings right now?”
Noah removes his hand, “I'm sorry Peppa, but I'm with Juan we are both going to protect you.”
Juan lays his hand on my arm and I glare at him and he quickly removes it. “Sorry, I know we don't know each other yet Peppa, but I want to get to know you. Whatever this is has connected the three of us together and I can't help the feelings I have towards you. And if I'm honest I don't want to. I want to be near you and spend time with you. I want you Peppa. Shit, I know this is bad timing but I hate the thought of you hurting and I need you to know I'm here for you.”
I break down in tears and find myself being pulled into a hard chest and being hugged to death. I let Juan hold me and I calm down enough to where little sobs come out now and again. I pull away and notice Noah is still on his knees and has a frown on his face.
“Oh god, Noah I'm sorry, I feel so violated, and angry. Why did this happen to me?”
He leans into me and I put my arms around him and he speaks into my hair, “You can stay here as long as you need, I don't know why this happened but I intend to find out.”
I move out of his arms and smile at him, “Can I have that drink now please? I need something to make me sleep tonight.”
Noah gets up and walks over to the bar. I turn to Juan and find him already looking at me so I smile.
