His Captive: A Dark Mafia Romance

24

I was just about to leave the club with my friend Ricky, but when I walked past the staircase, I'd heard screaming.

And it was no mistaking that they were Amber's screams.

When I followed the sound of the screams, and reached the door of the room they were coming from, I saw the last thing I expected to see in front of me.

A vile, disgusting man ass-bare attempting to force himself on her, attempting to tug at her clothes as she begged him to fucking stop.

And it caused my blood to run cold.

Caused my head to pound with fury.

All I could see in my eyes...

Was murder.

Nobody touched her without her permission and fucking got away with it.

I didn't know how the fuck she managed to get herself into a fucked-up situation like that.

I had to deal with the bastard.

I had to fucking take care of him...

Knowing that she was a stranger...

But knowing that it would fuck me up if I didn't.

I couldn't stand by and watch fucked-up shit happen, and do nothing about it.

Even if the woman wasn't my business.

She made me her business when she stared at me with her big, gorgeous fuck-me eyes back at the bar, never wanting me to fucking leave her.

Making me feel fucked-up over a woman I'd only just met...

Wanting her for myself.

Wanting to claim her, mark my fucking territory.

And when the bastard dropped dead in front of her, she wasn't even fucking scared of me.

She'd seen me for the monster I was...

But she didn't hate me for it.

It was as if she was relieved that I'd dealt with him.

I may have killed him...

But she didn't even seem to care.

She seemed beyond grateful for my actions.

And I knew from that point, that I had to have her for myself.

That I'd be damned if I ever let another man touch her or go near her.

Because she'd seen me for the monster I was...

She'd seen what I was fucking capable of.

She'd seen the guns holstered in my pockets.

But she didn't hate me for it.

She didn't run a mile, like I expected her to.

Instead, she did the last thing I expected.

When my mouth crashed down on hers...

She responded.
