I shudder as I think about the things he is hinting, and a sense of anticipation and apprehension begins to build within me. Normally I would pull away to create some distance, but I surprise myself by relaxing more into his hold. We continue talking learning more about each other as the evening draws on, at some point Lobo came to join us and is settled on the floor against Grant’s feet. I learn that his wife was his first long term relationship and that in his late teens and early twenties he was like any other male. Dating and sleeping with different girls until his family forced him to settle down and marry once he took over the family business. He has been successful in maintaining the company his father built but five years ago he decided to start his own company that is now generating more income than the other ever has. I am impressed with his success at such a young age, I wanted to go to college to study business after I left school, but I haven’t been able to, since I

I only wanted to have a little fun with her because she looked both alluring and terrified at the same time. I needed to dispel the tension, but I never expected to have the reaction I did to her mere touch on my skin. I almost had her laughing along with me when she managed to free her hands, but the feeling of her hands on my chest was like nothing I have ever felt before. I can feel a tingle spreading from the area where her hands are. It is as if all my nerve endings in my skin have awakened and are firing in every direction. My breathing increases as the sensations continue to intensify the longer her hands are connected to me, but I do not want it to stop. I stare at her, frozen as I lose myself in her touch and her eyes. But as I feel her begin to pull away, I take one of my hands and use it to cover hers to keep them in place. “Angel, do you feel my heartbeat right now?” “Yes, it is racing a

“What is it, Angel?” “I just, I am not sure I am ready to take it that far. I mean we haven’t known each other exceedingly long at all, yet we are already moving things along this quickly. It is all just a little overwhelming I guess.” “Hey, look at me.” I reach to cup her cheek in my palm, so she looks at my face. “I am not asking you to push yourself to move any faster than you are ready for. Today was enjoyable but you don’t have to feel pressure to do any more than this. I honestly didn’t expect any of this so soon, but I wouldn’t change a second of it.” A lone tear escapes her eye as she smiles at me, and I rub it away with my thumb. “Thank you, Grant.” I pull her to me, and she willingly presses her body to mine as she hugs me back. I already felt protective of her before, but now that feeling has increased tenfold and there is no way I will let her go, for as long as she wishes to remain by my side. “Angel, there is a reason that I was up this early. We have somewhere t

I am so nervous I feel like I will jump out of my skin at any moment. We are in the car, Tojo is in the back with the dog grill up to keep him safe and we are almost at the station. As it comes into sight my palms begin to sweat and my body starts to tremble with nerves. “Are you okay?” “Yeah. Don’t worry.” Grant reaches over and takes my hand in his rubbing his thumb on the back in a comforting motion which helps relax me a little. With his touch my mind drifts back to this morning in his room and what we did making my cheeks heat. I also think about the conversation I had with Tom. ** That was incredible. I have never experienced anything remotely like it ever in my life. And to think that I would go that far yet still be comfortable with the other person. This feeling is completely alien to me, I don’t know what is going on with my body, but it craves Grant and won’t calm down. Whatever that was that we did, it has started a deep burning need within me that I have no idea how

Taking a deep breath, I steel my nerves and prepare to open up about my past with my family. “Yes, I am ready. What do you wish to know?” “Firstly, do you know the man who broke in?” “Yes, he is my stepfather.” “Your stepfather?” Both are shocked and I can understand why. If the officers wrote anything close to what they witnessed, then these two detectives must be wondering how it’s possible for Terry to treat me that way. “Yes. He and I have never had a good relationship.” “Would you please elaborate on that?” I sigh, I wonder just how much I should reveal, Grant squeezes my hand to encourage me so I take a breath and look the officers in the eye. “If you are going to understand everything, you may want to get us some coffee. This may take a while.” They look surprised but with one shared look officer Carmine stands and leaves the room. We sit in silence until she returns with a tray carrying four cups, a coffee carafe, a jug of water and other condiments such as sugar, mi

I feel guilty for not thinking about him sooner. But I put it down to being distracted by hearing Angel’s story. I never considered that her past was so painful. But I promise to ensure that her future is bright. As I exit the station, I see him laying down on the ground and I hurry over. “Hey boy, are you okay?” He lifts his head and greets me panting heavily trying his best to cool down. I untie his lead from the pole and tug. “Come inside boy, we have water for you.” He stands and follows me gladly with his tongue lolling out as he pants. “He is a big boy.” I look up surprised to see that officer Carmine followed me out. Seeing my confusion, he smiles. “If you were to come inside alone with him you wouldn’t make it past the doors.” “Oh, I see.” We walk in and head straight to the room where we left Angel. As soon as the door opens and Lobo sees her, he eagerly pulls against my grip wanting to run to her, so I let him. “Woof! Woof!” He bounds in and places his paws in he

“Lobo! Come here.” I shout and then whistle. He growls at the other dog and crouches lower, never taking his eyes off of it, while ignoring me. I continue to hurry over to them and as I get closer the other dog becomes increasingly aggressive. Looking around I cannot seem to pick out its owner and I worry that it is a stray. Lobo growls and the other dog also growls before lunging toward him, but he dodges and snaps his jaws at its paw. Then all hell breaks loose as both dogs begin to fight. People closest to us grab their dogs and scatter screaming. Everyone else, wanting, to get as far away from the fight but no one was willing to help me to stop them. I fear for Lobo as I don’t want him to get injured or catch a disease from this other dog, but I also don’t want to get bitten while trying to separate them. Desperately I look around for something to help me get between them safely when I spot a large thick stick on the ground. Picking it up I test it once then run toward the two

I’m in shock. I barely feel the pain from after her hand impacted my face anymore. Grant is quiet next to me as we drive back but I can feel he is livid on my behalf and yet he is confused because I claimed not to know her. The truth is, I did know her but now I don’t know what to think and the more I think about what happened the more confused I become. I don’t remember falling asleep but when I awake, I find myself on the bed in Grant’s bedroom. I stand and walk into the bathroom, looking in the mirror to inspect the damage. Horror fills me as I see a perfect handprint still visible on my cheek from where she struck me so hard. I gingerly press my fingers to the area and wince at the sting before I hear a whimper behind me. Looking around I spot Lobo watching close by and smile at him. “Hey boy. Come here.” He walks forward into my embrace, and I cuddle into his fur. “Thank you. You came to defend me from the mean lady, and I love you for that. Of course, Grant came too didn’
