So he’d help her.
The gate squeaked loudly as he swung it in. If ghosts were real, this was the type of house they would definitely haunt.
It wasn’t a mansion, but it was plenty big. And historic. He didn’t know what year it was built, but he suspected it was evenolder than the mansion that served as the Guard’s headquarters. And that place had been constructed well over a century ago.
He was only halfway up the steep stairs when the front door flew open and a woman rushed out. “Thank you for coming! Quick! Inside!”
He looked up to see the prettiest woman he’d ever laid eyes on standing there.
For a moment, he stopped dead in his tracks.
Was it her? The Little girl he’d been searching for?
His heart rate quickened. Words escaped him as his brain swirled. This cutie had some sort of powerful hold on him. Almost like an enchanting magic.
What the hell was happening?
“Please!” she cried.
Isaiah snapped out of the trance and picked up the pace, jogging the rest of the way. Thanks to the peak shape he stayed in, hurrying up the stairs and onto the porch wasn’t any problem.
“Are you okay, ma’am?” he asked.
“I’m… fine. Just come quick!”
She held the door open as he went passed her and stepped inside.
He took a moment to look around.
“This place is nice,” he noted. “I like your entry table. Is it a period piece?”
“Yeah,” she said after closing the door and locking it. “I inherited it along with this house.” Her words were still coming out rushed. Despite answering his question, it seemed as if she was on autopilot.
Poor thing. She seemed even more terrified than he’d thought after getting her call earlier.
“Cool,” he replied, keeping his voice low and calm. Maybe his chill vibes would rub off on her. As it was, he was afraid she’dfaint. Because upon further inspection, she was stark white. A bead of sweat lined her brow.
He opened his mouth to ask if she was okay, but stopped short.
Now that he had taken a better look at her, he was even more stunned by her beauty. Even when terrified, she was the most gorgeous woman he’d ever seen.
She was curvy, with smooth skin, full lips, and big brown eyes. Her dark hair fell past her shoulders. The pajama pants she wore hugged her curves nicely. The thin little shirt barely contained her ample breasts.
Damn. She’s all kinds of beautiful,Isaiah thought. He didn’t want to gawk, though. No reason to make her feel uncomfortable. She’d just allowed a strange man into her home in the dead of night, after all.
But it was hard to tear his eyes away from her.
Lots of Daddy feelings swirled in his core. She was like the cutie he’d often dreamed of one day finding.
A lot like her, actually.
Quite literally the woman of his dreams.
All that could wait. Right now, he just needed to know she was okay.
“Are you all right?”
“Yeah,” she said. “Now that you’re here. I… hated being here by myself.”
