Steele

Chapter 17

He grabbed my waist and pulled me into his chest and kissed the top of my head repeatedly.

I laughed, tears streaming down my face while I tried to push his lips away.

He finally pulled away and slipped the diamond ring on my finger. I can't believe that I went from hating him to loving him this much.

"Thank you." He smiled before crashing his lips into mine.

We kissed for several moments then I realized we are still sitting on the floor. I pulled away breathlessly. His forehead rested against mine.

"We're still sitting on the floor."

He smiled and shook his head. Steele picked me up, bridal style off the ground and onto the soft bed.

My hand wrapped around the back of his neck and pulled him down. Our lips met. The kiss was slow at first then speed up. I wish this moment could last forever.

Of course with my luck, my phone started ringing. Steele pulled away and picked up the phone. I reached up for it but he held it up higher.

"Steele, it could be important."

He didn't answer me but he answered my phone.

"Hello?"

There was a deep voice in the other end but I couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Allie's a little busy right now. You'll have to call back another time." He smirked down at me.

"Steele, hand me my damn phone!"

Steele sighed,muttering a "fine" and handing me the device.

"Allie?" Ian's voice questioned.

"Yep."

"Jesse went missing a few days ago and I was hoping you had an idea where he might be."

"Oh, about that...I know exactly where he's at."

"That's fantastic, but why do you sound like that?"

"Long story but I can tell you he's in Steele's basement."

"Why? What has that bastard done to him?" Ian was mad.

"Don't call him that. Steele didn't do anything. You can come here and we can explain everything."

Steele gave me a look.

"Alright I'll be there in about half an hour. Bye, Allie."

"Bye."

Ian hung up the phone and I laid it on the nightstand. I pushed Steele off over me and dragged myself to the closet. I closed the door and pulled on a pair of skinny jeans and a black loose fit t-shirt.

Once I stepped out, I received a questioning stare from Steele.

"My brother is coming here in half an hour."

"You have no idea if I did nothing to Jesse." Steele spoke quietly, telling me that he did do something.

I sighed.

"Well, I'm not telling Ian that. You have the honor of doing so."

Steele got up and walked over to a dresser. He pulled out some clothes and started pulling on the pair of jeans.

"I'll be at the front of the house waiting for my brother if you need me."

I slowly made my way to the door when a large arm wrapped around my waist.

My body was pulled back and slammed against a hard chest.

"Steele..."

"Wait for me? I want to be with you when he shows up."
