Page 30 of My Guardian Demon

I chuckled. "Thank fuck."

Onyx went to hug me but I stopped him, holding a hand in front of me.

I grimaced at him. "You're covered in blood. I'd rather not hug you until you've cleaned up."

He smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

I met his gaze. "I'll let you get back to... work, I guess? I think I'm going to sleep on the couch, though.With my headphones on. So I can pretend it isn't happening."

He smiled and gave me a careful kiss, holding his body away from me. "I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you."

"Damn right, you will." I teasingly punched him on the shoulder. "See you later, Onnie."

"Sweet dreams. Don't worry. I'll come over early and make it up to you." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I laughed.

Onyx walked me out. "See you in the morning," he said with a quick kiss on the cheek then shut the door.

What a shitshow.

I walked up the hallway to my apartment and opened the door. I shut it and locked it behind me. Standing at the door, I leaned my forehead against it, shut my eyes, and breathed. I wasn't sure I was okay with what was happening in Onyx's apartment. But he was a demon. It was his work. I needed to get okay with it.

Soon, I went to the kitchen and ran myself a glass of cold tap water. I gulped it down, with hope that it might settle my stomach.

I put the empty glass in the sink and walked to my bedroom. I needed my headphones, pillow, and blanket for the couch.

When I opened the door, a surprise waited for me on my bed. Eston sat on the edge, an evil grin breaking over his face when I appeared. "Hello, Wynn."

I screamed and slammed the door shut. I bolted down the hallway.

Chapter 16

Wynn

Eston's footsteps thudded behind me as I ran to the front door.Away, I had to get away. I unbolted the locks and turned the knob right as his arms gripped my waist and ripped me from the door. He flung me across the room onto the couch.

His blond hair fell over his eyes as I scrambled over the far side of the couch to get away from him. "It was a good try, Wynn. You moved so far away from home. It wasn't good enough, though."

His eyes watched every move I made ferociously.

"You know, I think you're trying to hurt me on purpose and you're enjoying all the torture you put me through. I watched you in the pool the other night with that guy. That's right. I've been here all this time, waiting for the opportunity to approach you. You were hoping I watched, weren't you? How dirty you were for him. Letting him suck your tits in the pool like that. Pretending to cum for him. I know you only cum for me. I watched the act you put on with someone who wasn't me." He stepped closer. "I remember when we used to do stuff like that. That's what you were going for, wasn't it? Making me remember?"

I tried to keep the couch between us but Eston lunged forward and grabbed me by the hair. He used it to tear me out from behind the couch as I screamed in agony. Tears welled in my eyes. He pulled a gun out of his jeans and trailed it down my cheek.

"You're too moody to keep around. You got me in trouble with the police, and we can't have that. I'm sorry,baby." He kissed my cheek. "If I can't have you, no one can. Unfortunately, I have to kill you. But if you're a good girl, maybe you can suck my cock one last time for old times' sake." I whimpered as he yanked my hair again. He trailed the gun down my cheek again and said softly, "Or maybe we can fuck one last time, what do you think of that?"

Another whimper escaped my throat.

"I knew you'd like that idea, baby. It's a shame I can't keep you."

Tears rolled down my face.

Think, Wynn. You're trained for an attack. What do you do?

My gun was in my bedside table. I needed to get Eston in the bedroom where I could get to it. Onyx would show up when my life was really in danger, so it must not be at this moment, right?

He forced my face into his crotch. The sick fuck was already growing hard from this. I drew a deep breath.Hold on.

"Let's—" I stumbled as he yanked my hair. "Let's go to my bedroom where you'll be more comfortable," I suggested in my most welcoming voice.
