Sierra

I have been on edge all night. I can’t sleep. Every little noise freaks me out, even though it is nothing, and Ambrose promised I would be safe here. I hate feeling like this. It is not me! I am strong, confident, independent and usually fearless. Then again, my life has never been in danger before.

All I have done for the last three hours is toss and turn. I won’t be getting any sleep tonight. I sit up, groaning in frustration. I climb out of bed. I need a damn drink, maybe it will help me sleep. I don’t know if I will make it to classes tomorrow. I hope I do. I hate missing classes; it isn’t something I do.

I pull on a dressing gown and quietly make my way downstairs. I don’t want to wake Ambrose. I search around and find a bottle of scotch, pouring a large one. I down it. It burns my throat, but it feels good. I pour a second. I will take my time with this one.

I stroll to the living room and take a seat on the sofa. I sit in the dark. I glance around in the darkness and wo

  • Falling For My Ruthless Protector    Chapter Fourteen

    SierraI 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 Thirteen

    Ambrose I am in the kitchen having my morning coffee. I left Sierra to sleep. I let her professors know she wouldn’t be in today due to personal reasons. I took her cell away so nothing would disturb her. She needs sleep. She is cranky and irritating enough as it is, the lack of sleep would make her worse. She will be pissed at me, but I don’t care. When is she never pissed at me?Sleeping next to her was not an easy thing. She fidgets so much. She kicked and punched me a few times in her sleep. Then again, it may not have been in her sleep. She could have been pretending and using it as an excuse to hit me. Her assaulting me wasn’t the worst of it. At one point, she had half of her body draped over me, her hips rocked against mine, and it turned me on more than it should have. I swear I can work out if I hate her or want to fuck her.I sigh and take a sip of my coffee. I hear the front door open, “It is Wade.”“Kitchen,” I call out.He comes in, “Good morning, sir. You can leave at

    Ambrose “Meet me in my office. We need to talk. I need to make sure Sierra isn’t around first.”Wade, Jackson and Roman nod, going to my office to wait for me. I call the others over for the meeting. I head upstairs, checking into Sierra’s room. I find her in bed, sound asleep. Hopefully, she will be out for a while. She can’t hear our conversation or plan. I quietly close the door behind me and return downstairs to my office, locking the door behind me. I sit at my desk.“I want to know exactly who they are. Yes, we know the family they belong to, but I want names and addresses. We need to make sure we know as much as possible so we can be a step ahead.” I snarl and ball my fists in frustration.“We will get the best we have on it.” Roman replies.“Wade, did you notice if the two guys in the car were the same ones from the bar?”“It was not the same men, sir.” He sighs.That means they have multiple people following her. I don't know how they keep finding her. They must be young and

    Sierra It was a restless night; now I'm in the kitchen, sipping a large black coffee after barely sleeping. I wasn’t expecting him to kiss me in such a manner. It was such a hot kiss. No one has ever kissed me like that. With the way he rushed off, he wasn’t expecting it to happen either. I don’t know how he will be with me today. I should stay out of his way since we are stuck together all day.I hear him come downstairs and prepare myself for what has to come. He enters the kitchen.“Morning.” I greet.He grunts a morning back and heads over to pour a coffee for himself. I watch as his back muscles flex as he moves. He has such a strong back and broad shoulders. My tongue involuntarily darts along my lips as I check him out. I pry my eyes away before he catches me staring. He takes his coffee and disappears from the kitchen without another word. It sounds like he goes to his office. Is this how the day is going to go? Great! It's just what I need. Hmm, maybe I can use his avoidance

    Ambrose An alert goes off on my iPad. It is an alert of motion in the backyard. I know it is Sierra because I heard her leave her room and go downstairs. I reach for the pad and switch it to the cameras from outside. I see her swimming in my pool, and I watch her even though I know I shouldn’t be. I hate what has been going on with us today. I was so close to kissing and fucking her right against the kitchen wall. If she hadn’t interrupted my night, I would have been more than satisfied. I wouldn’t be having sexual thoughts about her. I am glad she came back when she did, since she sensed danger. Thank God Wade and Jackson were with her.I set my iPad down and went out to the balcony that was attached to my bedroom. I rest over the rails and watch her. The woman infuriates me to no end, yet, at the same time, I can’t seem to take my eyes off her. It is all a little confusing.Sierra swims a few lengths and climbs out to sit on the edge. She rinses her hair out and rests back on her h
