I snap, and before I fully realize what I’m doing, I have her pants yanked down, mine undone. A few strokes for us both and I have her seated on my cock, her legs around my waist, her arms draped over my shoulders as I thrust her into the wall.

I murdered someone.

I protected her.

I’ve claimedthis is ittoo many times with this girl, but this time, it’s the truth. I have to get the fuck away from here—far away.

Until then, while I have her for this moment, before I risk her changing her mind and going from thrilled to heartbreak and hating me, I fuck myself into her.

It’s quick and quiet, only the sound of my thrusts and her little moans filling the room. I duck my head to bite her nipple through her shirt and she rewards me with nails scraping my shoulder.

“You’re safe,” I whisper to her between thrusts. “He’ll never go near you again. No one will ever hurt you, sweet girl. Not if they want to live.”

Her pussy clamps down on me, her head tossed back into the wall as she cries out her orgasm. I drink up every sound, every breath, as I too thrust a final time inside her, lingering long after we both come down, not wanting the moment to end.

Too soon, her eyes flick toward the broken window and widen, thespell officially failing.This is it. She’ll hate me. Her previous comments mean nothing?—

“Y-you have to get out of here.” She pushes against my shoulder until I unwillingly lower her to her feet. “I-I’ll claim it was self-defence. I can’t be charged for that. I think. Not with the marks on my neck.”

I study the broken window she’s about to claim she’s broken when pushing out of it. The cops will never believe this tiny girl managed that. I grab her as she tries to rush by me, bringing her fist up to my face, stroking the back of her silky, soft skin.

“Hayley, they won’t believe you.”

Anguished eyes turn on me, and it’s an immediate punch to the gut. Harder than any I’d given the body on the ground. “I don’t care,” she says in a determined growl. “I won’t see you go to prison because that’s exactly what’ll happen. I was fighting for my life and got a burst of adrenaline. You hear about this all the time. They’ll have no other evidence to go off of.”

I’d go to prison without a paid fancy lawyer to back me up, while her stepfather would pull out every stop for his son. It’s a fact I’m almost certain of. I’d be a statistic. Foster kid ended up on the streets, surviving, only to end up locked up. All for her. I’d like to say in ten years I’d regret it, but I wouldn’t. Not if it means he’ll never look at her again.

“You protected me,” she goes on. “It’s my turn now.”

My fucking god, the more she speaks, the more winded I grow.

Still holding her hand, I mentally scroll through every option we have—and there aren’t many. Any, really.

I may have protected her from him, but she’s now trying to protect me from the law. In order not to be charged with homicide in the case of self-defence, the cops will need to believe she had more reason to defend other than him sneaking into her room. Hopefully the marks on her body will be proof enough, but if they’re not, it’ll be her freedom on the line and I can’t stomach the thought. Not when she has a promising future ahead of her and I don’t.

No one’s ever protected me. No one’s ever saved me. No one’s ever wanted to.

But she has. In every fucking sense of the word, she’s saved me…and there’s nothing I can ever repay her with.

“This will work,” she insists, sensing my turbulent debate. “It’ll be up to the courts to decide if they want to prosecute, but it was my life or his. They’ll take my side.”

“You’re not selling this concept very well.”

Hayley reaches for my face.“Please.You need to leave right now and I won’t breathe a word to anyone, I swear.”

I turn away, unable to look at the monster I’ve created. This innocent girl went from letting a thief eat her food and openly steal from her to participating in a murder cover-up. Fuck, I’m so bad for her, even if she’s becoming everything I want.

“I’ll go now. Wait five minutes and call the police. Then your parents.”

I’ll go…but not far. Not until I know she won’t be taking the fall. The second I see her imprisoned, I’ll hand myself over.

I want to kiss her one more time. Kiss her while my cum still drips from her pussy, but I’ve ruined her life enough.

Goodbye, my sweet girl.

I vanish into the night, disappearing from the house that was supposed to be a simple robbery.

In the end, its stolen more from me.
