Kelsea’s POV ~
“Kelsea, can I have a minute with you?”, he asked as I looked away from him. Honestly, I agreed to stay here only for my baby’s safety, and this had nothing to do with him. “Alrighty, big brother. She is all yours now”, Kate waved and walked away. He walked closer and I felt my legs tremble. The scenes of him killing those men in just a shot chilled my veins in fear. He was a few inches away from me. When he took a step closer, my legs stumbled as I took a step back. I had respect for him as a boss and at some corner in my heart, I even had an attraction for him which I was surpassing for a long time now. But now, all I could feel is fear for him. I lifted my fear-filled teary eyes and met his shining silver ones which had such a captivating power over me.
“Uh… no, no… I won’t do anything…”, he stepped back. Disappointment was all over him. I read his eyes and I saw a glimpse of hurt in them. “Kelsea… that thing you saw earlier…”, he started and I paused. “You… you killed them?”, a gasp escaped my mouth and his eyes narrowed at me. “I saved you!”, he said and a part of me was happy for it but the other part of me knew he was the reason too. “You are the reason… Me and my baby were in danger…”, I looked at him with my teary eyes as words choked my throat.
Shane’s POV ~
Her words tore my chest apart. She was right, I put her and her innocent baby in danger. Just like I did to my own sister… I’m a horrible person who hurts all the people around me and I fu****** hate myself now. Kelsea was standing there, sobbing without control as she looked like a mess. I hated to see her cry and now I hate myself for causing those tears. I always felt a strong attraction with her the moment I saw her. I know she felt the same too. Her pure sea blue eyes always glimmered like a star when met with mine. But… now… all I saw was fear, the fear she felt for me… I hate myself for making her feel that way. “Kelsea, listen…”, i tried to explain but she shook her head as tears fell from her pure angelic eyes. Damn, I never thought a single drop of tear could cause me this much pain… “You are the reason why I was attacked by them in the first place. You are the reason why I was labeled a mistress of Mr. Booker. You are the reason now, my baby is in danger along with me…”, she cried out and each of her words tore me apart. “I know I'm the reason… and I do feel bad for bringing you into this dangerous world”, I let out a sigh. “Listen Kelsea, I didn’t expect this rumor to turn out like this… That bastard was misbehaving with you and no one messes with my gi… my date…”, I said and she wiped off the tears from her tiny eyes. “I regret agreeing to be your date. I would have never agreed if I had known who you really are”, she said, removing the tiny bit of tears from her eyes’ corner as she pulled back her composure. Ouch… that really hurts. I’ve always rejected women who throw themselves in my bed just for the sake of my body and money. And this is the first time I’m hearing rejection from a woman and what makes it worse is that, the woman is my baby girl… and this is what is pulling me even close to her. Ugh… life sucks so much… “I never wanted to bring you inside my world but this is screwed up. I’ll get this mess sorted out asap. I just stopped by to thank you for agreeing to stay here”, I said, internally hoping for a positive answer from her but she definitely had her own ways to tempt me. “I’m staying for my baby’s safety, this has nothing to do with you. We have no one, it is always me for my baby and my baby for me. And, I would never allow you and your enemies to hurt my little one”, she warned and next to my mum, she is the only woman who used that tone to me and is still breathing. She looked away from me and I felt a weird kind of pain, the pain of rejection which is a very new one for me. It's been days, but I still couldn’t process the fact of her being pregnant which makes my blood boil. I have this urge in me to kill the man who touched my baby girl. It might sound stupid, ah, it is indeed stupid but I’ll definitely kill that bastard if i know who he is. No offense to you, little one, but I have never seen or heard about that man but all I know is he had hurt her and made her cry. Wait, until I find you mother*****!
Looking into her eyes, I took a step closer to her. “As long as I’m in your life, you and your baby are never alone. I’ll keep you both safe no matter what”, I truly assured, trying to make her feel better. I did really mean those words. “I can very well take care of myself and my baby. I’m in no situation to trust another man AGAIN. So stop acting like you care!”, her words broke me terribly. The pain and hurt she went through was clear in her eyes. Great, because of some i***t now she won’t trust me… now I really wanna torture and kill him so badly!!!! “Baby girl, I don’t know who that man is or what he did to you. But I sure know, I won’t hurt you like he did”, I tried to earn her trust with my assuring words but in vain. She looked away avoiding my gaze which felt like a deep dagger in my skin. Is this really happening? A woman avoiding me, the leader of Booker’s mafia? “Don’t look away, baby girl. Remember who I'm?”, I said and her sharp killing eyes turned to me. Ah! I really can’t stand this anymore, the more this woman avoided me, the more I felt the urge to take her right here in my bed till she moaned my name loud and clear. No Shane, don't think of her like that. My stupid lustful brain didn't help either. "Stop calling me that and don't even try to act like you care. Men are selfish and they never care, and you are not an exception, Mr. Mafia Mobster!", she said and her words went past my resistance line. That's it. Just one blink, I pushed her to the wall nearby and I crushed my lips on hers. I kissed her gentle and hard, both mixed up. She tried to push me off with her cute and soft hands for the first few seconds but then she gave in and I saw how much she enjoyed our kiss. I internally smiled at my victory. Our tongues tangled, chests pressed each other's and our lips tasted each other. Those juicy lips showed me what heaven would feel like and there was this one thing I felt. This kiss feels familiar and so is her scent. Why am I having this familiar feeling with her?
Kelsea's POV ~
He tried to assure me with his words but then I remembered what Tristan said for the past years and how he ended up cheating me. All men are ass*****, never trust any, Kelsea. I said to myself throughout our arguments. In a blink of an eye, he did the most unexpected thing. He pushed me to the wall nearby, holding me in his strong arms. Before I could process his move, he crashed his heavenly lips on mine giving me a taste of him. I tried to free myself from his grip but then I remembered how much I craved his touch from the second I saw him in the food court for the first time. And that clearly didn't feel like the first time anyway. As his soft kiss grew wild, I stopped pushing him and started to enjoy the present moment putting every f***** problem aside. I inhaled his scent which left me craving for more of his taste. I began to enjoy every moment with his lips on mine. His playful tongue played with mine, teasing me a bit and so were his hands which played under my dress on my hip and belly button. Everything about this kiss was perfect. It was nothing like I had with Tristan. I and Shane had this tension and connection in just a simple kiss. But then I remembered something… Wait, I'm kissing Shane...? Suddenly, I pushed him off from me and then realized what the f*** I just did. "SHI*! I KISSED YOU??"
