Chapter 15

I woke up with a headache Three days had passed since I’d spoken to Brett and for soht since Depression was sinking in because of the situation I was stuck in The only thing that seemed to be able to boost my mood was Ellie

Quietly, I pushedthe spray try to alleviate some of the tension froo quickly

"Ja, want me to answer it?" Ellie called fro," I replied quickly I didn’tmy phone but I didn’t want Brett or anyone like that anywhere near her

I sighed and switched off the water, grabbing a towel and wrapping it aroundon the bed, her arm over her eyes as the phone vibrated on the bedside cabinet next to her head I grabbed it and answered it without looking at the naroaned Brett This call could only oing?" I asked politely

"Good Listen, I need you to do a job for me today Just accompany me to a deal and show your face a little I’ the word that you’re back on my team but it’ll be a lot quicker if people saw you for theet more orders that way," he requested

Ellie moved her arm away from her face and smiled up at me, her eyes still half closed with sleep I s in the knot at the front of the towel I had at lint to her eye

I caught her hand, holding the towel closed as I answered Brett "What time? I have work today" I really didn’t want to start flaking out of my job at the scrap yard; I loved that job and didn’t want to lose it for threethat I’d be able to do both and then when Brett’s tioing to be harder than I thought

"Be here in an hour," Brett answered casually

I frowned but reluctantly agreed, I couldn’t exactly say no to hiot to her knees on the bed now; the sheets had fallen away frohten as my eyes raked over every inch of her I honestly didn’t think I’d ever get used to her perfection even if I had a million years to worship it

"So, coo from there Don’t be late, kid"

"I won’t be late," I agreed He disconnected the call and I looked at Ellie sternly which irl," I scolded playfully

She shrugged unasha her arled into the back of my wet hair "Maybe you should try to tone down the sexiness a little and then I’ll be able to leave you alone," she suggested, sht "Ellie, I have no idea how I got a girl like you," I adrinned and pulledaround my waist "I know, you deserve much better than me It uidingthat statement was the total opposite of the truth She would always be the one that deserved better thanout the attention, I’d take what I could get

By the tiot to the warehouse I was in a seriously badto be discreet about it either As I’d walked out of my apartment with Ellie I’d spotted hi on his car outside my place I’d watched as he folloo cars behindup at the curb outside her school as I dropped her off I recognised him as one of the two that I’d seen at Tony Grier’s office He was keeping tabs on me already and I hadn’t evenuy’s chest and watch as he struggled to keep his heart under control

He pulled up in the space next to rowled in frustration and pushed the door open toit all the way open so that it slammed into his car and left a nice dent in his silver Mercedes I thought better of it though, I didn’t want this guy pissed off withmy truck before I walked around to the driver’s side of his car, knocking on the

He smiled at me wickedly as hisslid down "What the fk are you following er under control

He tipped his head to the side "Just learning a little more about you Your first pay out to see your day to day life Pretty little girlfriend you have there And she’s still in school, huh? She’s probably a little young for me but if you step out of line maybe I’ll take your pay nonchalantly

I feltI’d reached in through hisand had my hand around his throat "If you ever even look at her then I’er; I already wanted to kill hihed, until h turn into a strangled yelp as his eyes ide I leaned in close to hiht now that if you so oing to bring down so much shit on you that you’ll wish your whore of a nant," I hissed My jaas hurting where I was clenching it so tightly "You tell Tony that’s she’s off liirlfriend, because if anything happens to her then I’ you first"
