One who I willingly let go down on me yesterday because he saved me from Alex forcing himself on me. I am very thankful for that, but I should be fuckingterrified right now, and I’m not. I’m not scared at all. That’s the only thing that is terrifying right now.
I should be running in the other direction and calling the cops. I know that, but I’m not.
If he wanted to hurt me, he would’ve done it by now. He has obviously been watching me while I sleep. The scent of him lingers throughout my entire apartment.
If I close my eyes, I can still feel his hands on my body, his very sexy, large, tattooed hands. Ones that I would love to have back on my skin.
I wonder what he feels like, what he tastes like. My thighs clench at the thought, and I imagine what he would feel like between them. His hard body hovering over me, lips kissing the sensitive flesh below my ears.
A groan slips through my lips as I open my eyes and glance at the clock on the stove. It’s ten in the morning. Luckily, it’s Sunday, so I don’t have to worry about going anywhere.
I decide to get some take-out and study today. But for tonight, I have another plan.
Kalix will show up again soon; I know that for a fact. But this time, I’m going to throw him off, because I’ll be waiting.
CHAPTER 18
KALIX
Ha!I laugh at the thought that Lainey really thinks she can pull one over on me. The cameras in the house have proven to be helpful at a time like this, allowing me to watch her every move without her even knowing. She thinks that staying up and fighting the sleep she so badly wants will be beneficial to her, but I know it won’t.
My bike is starting to cool, I’ve been out here so long. Phone pulled out, watching her every movement. I was originally hoping that sleep would overtake her, allowing me to get an even closer view of my little rabbit, but it doesn’t look like luck will be on my side.
There’s a tree near her window, something that will hide me in the shadows while also allowing me a perfect view of her while she’s in her bedroom.
Jumping off my bike, I don’t let myself second guess what’s to come next. I look up at the tree loomingabove me and curse at the side of me that thought that this was a good idea.
Anything for her, I guess.
I grunt as I use my upper body strength to lift myself onto the nearest hanging branch. Thankfully, it is low enough for me to jump and grab onto, as well as being thick enough to support my weight.
One after another, I work my way up the tree till I’m eye-level with her third floor window. As soon as I get settled, I look up, and there she is. My breath catches, as I take in her beauty. She’s standing there, gnawing at her lip. She’s wearing an oversized T-shirt with panties that show off just the bottom of her ass. Her perky nipples point through the thin material of her shirt, and the sight makes my mouth water. Fuck, every piece of her is delectable. I can’t wait until I can get another taste.
My cock hardens, and, unfortunately, I’m not in any position to be dealing with this right now. It’s uncomfortable, my sock being bent at weird angles and compressed against the zipper of my jeans.
But it’s worth it, so worth it. Worth every single ache and pain and uncomfortable moment just to get a glimpse.
She walks out of her bedroom and I roll my eyes while trying to fish my phone out of my pocket. What is my little rabbit doing?
Pulling up the camera app, I watch her dig through the cupboard and fridge to fetch her favorite snack. She bends over the counter to enjoy her food, but all I canthink is how she would look taking my cock from behind over that same counter.
I press on my cock through my jeans as I continue to stare at the screen.
Once she’s done, she makes her way back into the bedroom, lights on, of course, since she’s scared of the dark, and has true crime documentaries running one after the other while she works on herspicyart commissions.
Well, at least now I know how to kill someone and not get caught.
I guess this is going to be a long night for both of us.
CHAPTER 19
KALIX
I’m exhausted.I know Lainey has to be, too, but I’m not ready to leave her yet. I’m not sure I’ll ever truly be ready to leave her, my obsession is becoming more and more clear as the days go on.
Energy drink in one hand, I keep my distance as Lainey makes her way to class. I’m her little shadow today, she may be able to feel my presence, but I’m determined for her not to see me. Little rabbit needs to learn to not try to catch me. I come and go as I please, and nothing will change about that. At least not now, not until I decide that my presence in her life will be permanent and I move myself into her apartment. Or she can move into mine, whichever will be more comfortable for Lainey.
I take a sip of my drink as Lainey trudges into The Dark Roast to grab her usual coffee drink, before chatting it up with that chick from the bar. The thought of that night causes me to grind my teeth against oneanother and bunch my fists. Unfortunately, in doing so, I also crush the can holding my caffeine lifeline. The liquid sloshes over onto my hand and the ground below me. I murmur a quick “Fuck,” before shaking the residual energy drink from my hand and tossing the can into the garbage. Adrenaline will be keeping me awake instead today.
