The Killers Freedom

Chapter Nineteen: Watching Her Walk Away

Joseph's POV:

I was furious all morning. She would rather go out and be a slut around town then stay home and be with me. She doesn't know how much time and effort it took me to get Stryker to agree on letting her go. The way she spoke to me last night had my blood boiling and for her to give me an ultimatum had me seeing red. Doesn't she know I need her here, with me? Not dancing on some random guys she's found at a club. She's supposed to be with me.

I looked down at my bloodied knuckles grunting at myself in frustration. I spent the majority of last night in my gym punching everything in sight to let out the anger that resided inside me. Her words kept ringing in my ears, "you're going to give me one simple yes or no answer right now and what you say will determine everything I do after." Nobody has ever dared speak to me like that for fear of benign thrown through a wall. Her though, the way she spoke with such authority had me buckling at my knees wanting to do anything to get her to stay here with me. Even if it meant letting her go tonight.

I kept watching out of my bedroom window to see when they would be leaving. If it's up to Elaine and those two girls she's brought around, they are going to have Bugs dressed in close to nothing and I won't let that happen. Elaine's friends are trouble.

"Come on, let's go! The limo is finally here," first out of the door are Ann and Rose and just like I guessed they are wearing clothing that barely leaves anything to the imagination. This makes my heart race, thinking of what they have put Bugs in. I started to grit my teeth at the thought of it. My balled up fists are now turning my knuckles white.

Elaine appears hand in hand with Bugs and I resist the urge to punch a hole straight through the wall. She had the body of a hand sculpted Goddess and everything about that dress has me wanting to rip it off of her and devour every inch of her skin. To taste her plump red lips and trail my tongue down her chest to her core. The way the slit up her side shows off her hip has my heart racing to just reach out and rip each and every one of those small pieces of fabric from it. But she is going to be going out in public, talking to other men who will think the same thing I am thinking. Elaine is going to get an earful from me the next time we come face to face. I know she is doing all of this just to make me mad, and it's working.

I noticed Bugs slow down and just as she was about to get into the limo I had rented them and she reached to her side, searching for something. Her face painted with worry as she tells the girls she forgot something back at the house. Perfect.

I quickly make my way outside and follow her steps making sure to hide in the shadows. I'm not letting her leave without making her want to come back to me.

Just as she places her hand on the door I grab her waist and spin her around and kiss her beautiful lips with such force, leaving me breathless.

Before I knew it she pushed me off of her and for a slight moment I saw a hint of want in her eyes before she masked it with anger. I buried my head in her neck and whispered, "don't go tonight."

 My body was craving to be close to her, to touch her curves to feel her lips on mine.

"I forgot something inside," she said before slipping into the house then rushing to the limo. Leaving me standing there, wanting her, watching her walk away like she did all those years ago.

Bugs POV:

That was... unexpected. 

He kissed me. A hard lust filled kiss and I liked it. I couldn't help but touch my lips when I hurried inside, a small smile creeping on my face. I didn't know what overcame him or what is happening to me right now but I feel the need to stay home and see where that kiss could lead us. But my better judgement took over and I quickly made my way back to the limo with the girls. I will have to deal with this later.
