WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

SIDE STORY PT. FORTY EIGHT

|LUNA|

We finished up a little while after and laid in the back seat. Me on top letting him cuddling me. We opened the roof cover and looked at the stars. While Tanner traced a figure eight on my beauty mark on my shoulder. He thought he was being slick and was waiting for me to fall asleep but I never did. For I was thinking about one word he said tonight. 'Wife?...' sure we're engaged don't get me wrong but the wedding was-... we haven't even started planning it! Which-...

SNAP-!

I shot up. "What was that?!" I scanned around. Worried that someone was watching when we were having sex just a few minutes ago. Tanner came up with me and covered me with his jacket. I wasn't naked but still. He had his pants on and swung his button up shirt over his shoulders before heading out of the car to look around. He didn't really look worried for himself but still checked it out. Coming back when he didn't see anything. "Anything?" He shook his head and got back in. I inhaled through my nose and laid down on my side. My head resting on his thigh. He ran his fingers through my hair for a while before asking. "Are you tired?" i shook my head. "You sure? Cause I can drive us home if you'd like." "No It's fine.. I just wanna cuddle for a little bit more." "Ok, princess." My eyes shot open. 'Did he... just call me.. princess?' I sat up. "Ya know what? Let's go home. I'm getting creeped out." "Ok Luna." We got out of the car and got in the front seats where I heard another branch snap. I whipped around and saw a bunny just minding its own business. I caught my startled breath and turned to get in when I realized I was comando. I wasn't gonna put my underwear back on since it was on the floor but I still wanted it back to wash.. so I went to get it. "Hey Tanner! Do you know where my panties went?" He got back out of the car and came over to help me look. "No, I thought you-." Out of no where we hear a car engine start up. My heart dropped and I hastily stood up with him.

"wh-What the hell?!" The car zoomed off but Tanner started chasing it. Swearing at the driver and calling who ever was in there a pervert. I haven't really known Tanner to be one to curse but today he had no filter. Which was questionable at best. But when he came back to me out of breath he led me to the passenger side and covered me with his lab coat. I was shaking. Someone was watching us.. full on seeing and hearing us... god! The one time I try to be dominant this shit happens?! I sighed and leaned back. Feeling the left over Bobby pins in my hair hurt my scalp. I sat back up and noticed half of my hair was down... I didn't think I went that rough. Non the less I took out the rest of the Bobby pins and put them in Tanner's pocket. Leaning back when my hair was down. I closed my eyes. Thinking about who was watching us, what they saw, what they heard, 'was I loud?' Could they hear me from outside-?' My thoughts stopped with a vibration as I flipped my phone over to see a text from Laurence. 'Are you home yet?' I exhaled from my nose and answered Tanner was driving us there. 'Ok, be safe!' 'I will!' "Who was that?" "Laurence." He sighed. "I still gotta talk to him huh?" I furrowed my brows. "What? I thought you already did." He shook his head. "I couldn't this week since I was busy seeing what was in the rose you found." "Heh, lemme guess I was over reacting?" "Not in the slightest." I turned my head. "You see the chemical in the rose was a known knock out drug that is popular in the kidnapping part on the dark web. It's cheap, effective, and unlike modazolim is used by inhaling and not injection which explains its popularity as not many people have my type of syringe." He chuckled to himself before continuing. "However, last night, I managed to track down the group of men and got them to stop targeting you. You're welcome." My jaw was open a little and when he turned to look at me he closed it gently, humming a smile while he was at it. "You're cute when you're shocked." "Wait-. why do people want to kidnap me all of a sudden?! I'm not-." "You're lightweight, fit, but not fit enough to fight back, long hair, which makes it easier to grab you, good skin, beautiful, no diseases, and young. On the market you would-. You are worth around $90k." He said not bothered in a quick tone. While I on the other hand was still taking it all in. "How the hell do you know this off the top of your head?!" "Cause I check your status every night to make sure no misinformation is on there. For example on the website it says you're single but you're obviously not." He rolled his eyes. "I've tried to change it but it keeps going back." He groaned and parked the car outside.
