Page 3 of Pretty Girl

Chapter Three

“What.”

Blue eyes narrowed dangerously at his bodyguard, hands clenched tightly in fury.

Alec stood from his chair in the VIP room, he had been waiting for his pretty girl to walk into the room and smile shyly at him.

It was their routine.

He would be in the reserved room at six sharp every evening, he would order food for two and he’d insist she eat with him because he knew she worked too much and studied for so long to forget to eat. They would make conversation of their days and he managed to turn all focuses to how her day was and before she knew it, she gave him all details of it.

He already knew everything about her, but he liked to listen to her. She would blush brightly and duck her head when she realizes in mid-sentence that she had shared embarrassing details.

He adored her so much.

Alec had met her before she worked at the restaurant, she might not remember him because it was a brief contact that had him weak to the knees and cock thicken immediately.

It was dark when he left the casino with finished business, bodyguards flanked on his sides and back while he stalked out the building with irritation seeping out of his tense shoulders.

A lowlife tried to dig his sticky fingers into his money and swore to pay back every dine if he was given time.

Alec had his fingers shattered and jaw broken.

Then he found that the man had conspired with another mafia family to take his empire down.

Safe to say that the man was never seen again, and the rival mafia soon be wiped off the planet.

It was then that he saw Sophie at the receptionist desk with a lost purse. She stood out among all the extravagant woman dressed in tight and revealing dresses.

Thick brown hair braided messily that fell on both delicate shoulders, bright caramel eyes gleamed in the harsh casino lights, comfortable clothes consist of loose shirt with her university logo and name on it, and fitting sweatpants that finished off with black sneakers.

Her backpack hung from her shoulders while her full lips spread into a wide pretty smile when she watched electronic advertisement on the wall of the casino. It was a picture of mint ice-cream.

It was when her little pink tongue slipped out briefly that his cock jerked to full hardness.

He wanted to pull her into his arms, away from prying eyes, and rut against her under expensive bed sheets in his penthouse.

Alec could tell by the innocence that radiated off her that she was a virgin, he just knew it. Men in the casino were mostly used to seeing seductresses in racy dresses, but when a sweet little girl like her watching an advertisement with wide-eyed adoration, it was breath of fresh air that had sleazy men circling around her like sharks.

She didn’t seem to notice the advancing men because she was already running out the large double doors before Alec could release a possessive growl to warn the others to stay away from what was his.

Since then, he had her under heavy surveillance. Everything he did was for her protection, he had to tie up loose ends with a rival mafia family before he could be with his beautiful girl.

His hunger for Sophie was beyond controllable, he showed up at the restaurant where she worked and demanded her time like a tyrant he was.

His pretty girl was so hard working, always welcomed him with a smile and warm greetings.

He knew she was in her first year at the local university, working her way for rent and tuition costs. An apartment rented out by an older man with eyes for younger girls, he made sure he was replaced with one of his bodyguards disguised as the new landlord.

Alec would have given her a condo or lived with him in his penthouse, better yet, his estate. Fully equipped with the highest level of security, armed guards outside, and privacy on acres of land.

That would scare her. He would come on too strong and scare his darling girl.

There was a connection. He felt it too, and he knew she felt it too.
