He's My Killer

Chapter Forty-Nine

TIANA

"Goodmorning, Queen." Rick and Eva said in unison when I entered the kitchen.

I could tell the two were in deep conversation before I came in here. "Goodmorning. I did not mean to interrupt your conversation." I said as I opened the fridge.

"It's alright, Queen." Eva smiled and said, "I have made you and Mr. Mason a plate and covered it with a plate covering."

I smiled back. "Thank you, Eva. And please, call me Tiana."

Rick chuckled. "There's no use, Queen. Mr. Mason prefers the entire security and workers to call you that."

I sighed. "Of course he does." I murmured while grabbing the covered breakfast and walking to sit with them. Not wasting a second, I dig into the delicious meal.

I got to know a little bit more about Eva and Rick. Ricks is a driver but third in command for Carter. Eva has been working for Carter since her mother has worked with his family. Rick left because he had to get Carter's sister from the airport and it just left Eva and I.

"He's lucky you know." Eva said randomly and caused me to become confused.

"What do you mean?"

She chuckled. "Boss man likes you."

"I like him too." I admit.

"No, like....he likes you like you."

I paused on my eating. Carter Mason, crazy killer likes me in such a way. I knew he cared about me but like me like me is a different story.

"I don't know." I replied unsure.

"I shouldn't say this but Boss man has been through a lot. I know you might think him to be some crazy cold hearted killer but believe me when I say that he was not always like that."

I placed my fork down and gave her my full attention. "What happened?"

She sighed. "I can't tell you that because he wants you to know as much as he wants you to know."

I sighed in disappointment. I knew Carter wouldn't tell me because he is a closed off person.

"But I can see it in his eyes, Queen. I can see it in yours. I don't understand why we fight the urge to have each other. Despite what I heard on how you two met, everything changed between you two. I'm saying, take a risk. Don't think. Just feel." Eva said before getting up and leaving me there to finish my breakfast in peace.

I sighed. It would be a lie and say I didn't want Carter. I want him but the real question is:

Does he want me?

2 hours later

I was currently in the living room wrapped in a cover. My eyes were glued to the tv when Carter walked in with no shirt on. Only a pair of shorts with gym shoes and a black cap.

I could tell that he was sweating because his body was shining. His n****e piercings glint in the light and sweat beads slid down his perfect body. I bit my lip and turned my attention back to the tv.

Carter walked closer into the living and he took a seat on the same couch as me. I pulled my feet back and tried my best from letting my eyes stray to him.

"You went to the gym?" I queried.

Carter shook his head while taking off his shoe. "I went for a run on the beach."

"Sounds fun."

"Peaceful." He then said.

I smiled and looked back at the tv. He caught my attention again when he took some of my cover and wrapped it around his body.

"Seriously? You need a shower." I said before asking, "Aren't you hot?"

"Nah." He replied as he shifted under the cover and moved me up some before swiftly shifting to be behind me, pulling me closer to his sweaty body. His head rested in the crook of my neck with his arms wrapped around me.

Suddenly, he kissed the back of my neck and laid back.

"Why didn't you shower?" I queried.

"I will. I'm just chilling right now."

I shifted on my back after giving him a nod and laid flat on my back.

"Carter?"

He hummed.

"What are we doing?" I asked him while looking up into his eyes.

He stared down at me in a long silence before speaking. "What do you think we're doing?"

"Acting like a couple." I replied and I became alert when he tensed up.

I could tell that Carter was not one for commitment. I just wanted to know.

"Just living the moment, Tiana." Was all he said after a long silence.

I nodded my head and went to turn back around to watch the tv. I can accept his answer because this is new to me and I'm sure new to him also.

I felt him shift from behind me, getting up from the couch. He placed the cover back over me and walked out the living to go upstairs. I sighed. Now I made things more awkward between us.

After a long period, he didn't come back downstairs. I took the cover from my body and reached for the remote, cutting off the tv and heading upstairs to my room.

That's when I heard the shower going.

I made it to my room and set the cover on the bed and went to change into a pair of leggings and a tank with socks. I pulled my hair back into a low ponytail. I walked back out my room and down the hall.

Just then Carter decided to walk out the hallway bathroom with just a towel.

God, help me. His hair was wet and his body slick with water.       

He placed something on the cloth bar and turned just in time to see me gawking. Heat went to my cheeks as I forced myself to look away from him.

He was sexy.

I couldn't help but want to stare at him. I was just standing here unable to move. Standing here like a damn statue.

I heard his footsteps come my way and I refused to walk away from him and back down. I forced myself to look up and he was right here. A few inches from my face. I took a step back to create a little bit more distance but he followed.

"Do you not value personal space?" I queried while backing up some more and he followed.

"No. Especially when it comes to yours." He said, his lips twitched.

I took another step back and my back was against the wall. He placed his right hand on the side of my head along with his left hand.

I could feel my heartbeat a bit faster while my nerves became rapid. He is towards my face. His lips a few centimeters away. He sat down on my lips and leaned closer.

"Oh my god! I hope you two are not going to have s*x in the hallway! You're literally right next to a bedroom." A familiar voice said from the other side of the hall.

"Always on cue, Cami." He said, never taking his eyes off me.

I looked down at my feet and Carter moved one of his hands from the wall and grabbed my chin. I looked into his wild eyes and I saw that want in his eyes.

"You and I need to have a talk." He said huskily.

"Okay." The word escaped my lips so low that I was unsure if he heard it.

He pecked my lips one time then another and another and it became more than pecks. I tilt my head back as he dominates my mouth with his rough kiss.

"Okay! I'm standing right here waiting for a proper greeting!" I heard her yell but I could hear the amusement in her tone.

That didn't stop Carter from slipping his tongue into my mouth. His body pressed against me and his hands no longer on the wall but on my waist. I could feel him growing hard as his hands moved lower, cupping my bottom.

I placed my hands on his chest, pushing away from him or rather pushing him away from me. I caught my breath and turned to look down the hall to see that his sister was gone.

I looked back at Carter and his eyes were another shade. I looked lower and could see that he got too excited.

"I-I think I should—"

"Take care of the problem you caused." He said over me.

I instantly shook my head. "You kissed me."

"You tempt me."

I swallowed hard. I watched him bite down on his lip. He looked down at his situation then back to me.

"I'll let you pass this time."

I smiled. "How generous of you."

"Don't get smart, Tiana." He said and walked off into the bathroom to fix his problem.

I laughed while shaking my head and going downstairs.

I'm wanting him more and more as days go by. What to do?
