Chapter One

SierraI pull up outside my father’s house. I am staying the night. I was out with some friends, and my father’s place was closer than my apartment. I do try to come and stay with him once a week because he gets lonely. We lost my mother when I was only four years old. It has been over twenty years, and he has never remarried. He has dated, but it didn’t go anywhere. He loved my mother too much to give his heart to anyone else. It is sweet and romantic, but I also want him to be happy and in love again. He has put all his focus on me and the business.When I climb out of the car, I notice a familiar car parked too. What the hell is Ambrose doing here at midnight? Ambrose is a man I have known for a long time. He and my father have a close relationship. My father took him under his wing when he was in his late teens. He also assisted him with his business, making it possible for him to create a better life for himself. I don’t know much about his family, only that he didn’t get along w

Chapter Two

SierraI climb into the backseat of Ambrose’s town car. I am a mess. I am upset and heartbroken. My father left not too long ago. It was one of the hardest goodbyes of my life. I don’t know what I am going to do without him. I can’t even call him. Anything that could be tracked has been left behind.“I could have driven myself.” I snap as he slips in next to me.“Someone will drive your car to my place.”“Or better yet, you take it to my apartment because tomorrow I will be going back there,” I say firmly and cross my arms over my chest.“No, you won’t be. You will stay with me until your father returns, or we get word you are out of harm’s way.”“I am not staying with you.” I hiss, getting more irritated by the second.“Yes, you are. I promised your father.” He hisses back.“You can’t force me to stay!”“Yes, I can. You are staying at mine. End of discussion, Sierra.” He says sternly.“What are you going to do? Lock me up in your fucking basement or cuff me to the bed.”Who does he th

Chapter Three

AmbroseI am exhausted as I sit down for my morning coffee. I didn’t sleep at all. I knew Sierra would try to leave at some point. I didn’t want her either, but I will keep her safe like I promised. No matter how much she annoys me. Her father knows that leaving her with me would keep her safe from any danger. No one will try to get to her. They know better.The sound of Sierra coming downstairs pulls me from my thoughts. I know she didn’t sleep either. I heard her tossing and turning. She was also crying at one point. I can only imagine how hard this must be for her. She has always been close to her father.I take a sip of my coffee and nearly choke on it when she comes into view. She is only in my tee and her panties.“Where are the joggers I gave you?” I ask.I don’t want to see her in such an outfit or lack of. No matter how damn good she looks in my tee. Her long, dark hair is tied back in a messy bun. No make-up in sight. She still looks beautiful.Sierra shrugs. “In the room. I

Chapter Four

SierraI hated lying to Abby. Well, not as much lied as held back information. All she knows is I need to stay with Ambrose because of some trouble my father has gotten into. I will see her on campus; we take most of the same classes, and we also meet outside of class. Ambrose can try to stop me, but it won’t work. It isn’t like I am going off grid. She tried to ask questions, but Ambrose quickly dismissed her, and she dropped the subject.We are back at his place. I am in “my room”, as Ambrose keeps referring to it. It is not my damn room! I will be out of here at the first opportunity I can get. Sitting at the bottom of the bed, I can’t help but think about my father. I hope he is okay and found somewhere safe. I pray he will be in touch soon, even for a moment, to tell me he is okay. I need him to be safe.The tears build again. A distraction would be beneficial. I glance over my shoulder at the two suitcases and the duffel bag containing my belongings. Maybe unpacking will help. I

Chapter Five

AmbroseI have never been so eager to get to the office as I am today. It has not even been three days, and I am at my wits’ end with Sierra. We have already had two arguments today over nothing. If she weren’t Anthony’s daughter, she would be left on her own. Never in my life has anyone gotten under my skin in the way she can, and I have dealt with a lot of assholes in my life.“I will send someone to pick you up. I would do it myself, but I have an important meeting this afternoon which I forgot about. I will be home at five. Someone will stay with you until I return.”I turn to face her in time to see her screw up her face and roll her eyes.“Or I can make my own way back. I am not a child. I have pepper spray in my bag.” She protests.“Yes, because that will do you good if someone tries to shoot you. You will be picked up. I will send you a photo and a name so you know who it is.” I reply, emotionless.“Shoot me? What the fuck? Why would you say that to me?” she says, her eyes wid

Chapter Six

SierraWhat is he doing here? How did he know where I was?“What are you doing here, Ambrose?” I snap and glare at him.“Let’s go. You know why I am here.” He replies bluntly.“No. I am enjoying time with my new friends.”Ambrose draws in a breath, and his jaw tightens. What has he got to be mad at? He is the one trying to ruin my fun.“No, we are leaving.”One of the guys I am with, Percy, I believe his name is, gets to his feet. “She said she doesn’t want to leave.” He hisses.Ambrose turns his attention to him. If looks could kill, he would be a dead man. Ambrose steps closer to him. Percy’s shoulders slump, and any confidence he has disappears. There is something about Ambrose's stare that even causes a shiver to run through me.“This is none of your business. Sit your ass down, little boy.” Ambrose warns.He does as he is told. I can see Percy’s friends tensing, not looking happy with Ambrose talking to their friend in such a way. Ambrose does realise there are four of them and o

Chapter Seven

AmbroseTorture! That is what this week has been. Sierra is going to send me over the edge. It is the weekend, and neither of us has work, and she doesn’t have classes. We are stuck with one another most of the weekend. She is going out with friends tonight. Wade and Jackson are accompanying her, but they will stay at a safe distance to avoid being noticed by her friends. It would raise too many questions. I was going to go, but she didn’t like the idea, and to be honest, I would rather it be them than me. At least she likes them. It gives me a chance to invite some female company over. It is for a purely sexual reason, nothing else. I haven’t had anyone over this week because of Sierra. I wouldn’t trust her. She wouldn’t probably try her best to embarrass me or ruin it. I can’t have that. I need hot, sweaty, no-strings-attached sex. It will help destress me.Sierra and I have been at each other’s throats. I swear she is planning to kill me while I sleep at some point.I am sitting o

Chapter Eight

Sierra I had been having a good night with my friends. Wade and Jackson have kept their distance and been discreet, which I appreciate. My friends haven’t noticed. It is time for home, though. I have noticed two other men in two of the bars we have been at. They are making me feel uneasy. They seem out of place, staring at me and not in a checking me out kind of way. I am getting really bad vibes from them.I excuse myself from my friends. When I move, the two guys get up, too, following me at a distance. I head straight from Wade and Jackson. When they see me approach the table, the guys stop and go to the bar.“I think I need to go. I think the two guys at the bar are following me.” I whisper.“They are. We have been keeping an eye on them. Go and say goodbye to your friends, and we’ll take you back to the house.” Wade says.I nod and go to say goodbye to everyone. Wade and Jackson are close by, keeping their eyes on the two guys. I tell my friends I'm not feeling well before rushi

Chapter Nine

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

Chapter Ten

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
