Sierra

I smirk as I walk back towards my closet. I love getting under his skin. It is way too much fun. He is attracted to me, even if he won’t admit it. He wouldn’t do anything about it, not more than he already has. One, he doesn’t have the guts, and two, if my dad found out, Ambrose would be the one on the run. My father knows I date and everything else, but if he found out the one person, he trusted to protect me was the one I was screwing, things wouldn’t end well for anyone. Not like my father is around, but still.

The second I reach my closest, a pair of hands are on my hips, and he swings me around to face him. He slams me against his chest, his breathing heavy, and he stares down at me with dark, lustful eyes. I swallow hard and moan.

“W-w-what are you doing?” I breathe out.

The way he is looking at me is so intense, I can’t be certain what is running through his mind. He smirks and walks me backwards until my back is against the wall. I can’t work out what his next move will

  • Falling For My Ruthless Protector    Chapter Twenty-Six

    SierraThe last five hours have been the longest of my life! A car ride full of mostly silent unless we were bickering about pointless things. I swear, when we stopped to use the bathroom and to get food, I nearly ran away, but he never left me alone for long enough to do so. Even when I was in the restroom, he waited right outside. Who does that? I am not a child who needs to be supervised.Now, as we drive through the secluded woods, with not a person in sight, I shift nervously in my seat. Maybe coming here alone with him was a bad idea! What if he is behind it all? What if protecting me is a front? Why has it taken me until now to consider that? We are in the perfect place for him to keep me locked away or worse. Panic takes over me. A churning stir in my stomach, and my breathing becomes heavy.“Sierra, what the hell? What is wrong with you? Why has your behaviour shifted?” Ambrose asks, concern in his voice, pulling over the car.I turn to him. He looks confused. “How do I know

  • Falling For My Ruthless Protector    Chapter Twenty-Five

    SierraI have tried to sleep with no luck. Every time I began to doze off, I kept having a horrible nightmare that someone was holding a gun to my head, dragging me away and tossing me into the back of a black van. After three attempts, I gave in. I have packed and unpacked four times to keep myself awake. It’s three in the morning and I am utterly exhausted. I need to be ready in a few hours. To stop from falling asleep, I decided to sit on the floor. I am sitting at the bottom of my bed, hugging my knees to my chest, trying to comfort myself. I haven’t stopped shaking since this morning. I hate feeling scared and vulnerable.There is one way which may help me calm down and sleep. It is a thing I would rather not go through with, but it is my last option. Hesitantly, I pull myself up from the floor. Exiting my room, heading towards Ambrose’s room. It confuses me that the man I can’t stand is also the one who makes me feel safe. I reach his bedroom, stopping at the door, questioning m

    AmbroseI storm to my office, shaking with anger. Wade and Roman follow me, closing the door behind them. Turning, I punch the closest wall, putting a hole in it. “Fuck.” I hiss and ignore the throbbing.“What do you want us to do, Boss?” Roman asks.“I want the note checked for fingerprints and DNA. Hack into the CCTV as soon as possible. I need to know who dropped it off. Once I find out who is responsible, I will make them regret the day they were born.” I snap, watching the blood from my hand dripping onto the floor.“We will get straight on it. How is Sierra doing?” Wade asks.“Scared. I need one of you to call into her work and the college. Inform them that, due to personal reasons, she will be absent for at least the next week. Try to convince whoever you talk to to send over her work for her classes. I don’t want Sierra falling behind.” I sigh, running my fingers through my hair.“Do you want us to stay here for now?” Roman asks.I shake my head. “Sierra will be fine here with

  • Falling For My Ruthless Protector    Chapter Twenty-Three

    SierraI arrive at the office, strolling over to my desk. I have a full shift today from eight to six, since I don’t have any classes. My personal bodyguards will be around outside the entire time. I wish Ambrose would let me be. I am safe here. I am glad to have a full day away from Ambrose.Settling at my desk, I notice a brown envelope with my name on it. Nothing more. Not even the office address or my surname. It must be for someone in the office. It is a little strange, but I brush it off and open it. The content seems to be only one sheet of paper. Slipping it out, I unfold it, something I regret after I see what was written on it. I freeze, fear flooding over me. My heart pounds in my chest, and I struggle to get the air into my lungs.He spilt blood. It is our turn now. Watch your back, Sierra. I gasp, covering my mouth and read it three more times. I quickly fold it back up before anyone else can see it. Who sent this? Someone must have dropped it off in person. I hide my sh

  • Falling For My Ruthless Protector    Chapter Twenty-Two

    AmbroseI am out in the back yard, keeping a close eye on Kellin and Sierra’s session since they are doing it outside today. Sierra seems to be enjoying it a little too much. No one giggles that much, and no one person is that funny. She is pretending he is funny to show him that she is interested. It is pathetic and desperate. Kellin doesn’t seem to mind. I warned Sierra more than once. Do I need to warn Kellin, too? I will, without hesitation. They know I am here but aren’t paying any attention to me. I have had an odd glare here and there for Sierra, but nothing more than that.A notification on my cell from my front gate grabs my attention. I check it, seeing Wade’s car. He has the codes needed to get in the gate and my house. It still doesn’t make me move. I hear him enter the house, calling out for me.“In the back yard,” I answer.He comes strolling through, stepping outside. “What are you doing out here? You don’t like the morning sun.”I don’t answer with words. I nod in the

  • Falling For My Ruthless Protector    Chapter Twenty-One

    AmbroseI am in the kitchen with a coffee. Kellin will be here soon for Sierra’s first lesson. I was supposed to go out this morning because I had some things to attend to, but after their interaction yesterday, I changed my mind. They are attracted to one another, that was obvious, but I refuse to let them be alone. I am not paying Kellin a fortune to flirt with her. I am paying him to teach her to protect herself. If he even tries to make it more, I will fire his ass and get him blacklisted. Sierra does not need a man in her life, either, she has too much going on. Even if I see him touching her the wrong way, I won’t be held responsible for my actions.I hear Sierra coming downstairs. I thought she had overslept. I didn’t even check in on her this morning when I got up. She could have been awake for hours, but stayed in her room to avoid me. She saunters into the kitchen, and I nearly choke on my coffee when my eyes fall on her. A pair of cycling shorts, shorts one and a sports bra
