Born a Criminal: Part Two

Chapter 10: Tension

Third person's POV

Sophia and Ashton both looked around the area, both realizing it was way different now than in their normal crime world.

In this building Ashton had to fight, but he planned to write Sophia's name on the list of people they should give a chance.

They dismounted their horses, tacked them off and entered the now decorated building.

Sophia was impressed by the building, that it was this huge.

Ashton on the other hand liked the modern version more. He already knew what the building looked like in this time perk.

He knew most of the criminals tonight were lusting for her, so he brought her along on purpose.

But once they were talking to her, he'd take her away.

He was jealous.

The tension between them made him addicted to it. He was impressed of her knowledge about horses and by her rankings. He liked how she had a mouth against him while no one else dared to do that against him. He only didn't know her age, but he hoped she was above eighteen.

He looked everyone dead in the eyes with his black eyes, his form almost taking over due to his jealousy and mimed "she's mine." Without her noticing it.

He didn't intend to start liking her. He liked her since she started training Thunder, which started two weeks ago.

He wanted her for himself but he couldn't figure out how.

Ash's POV

I wandered around as she was intimidated by everyone. I drank my beer empty seeing it was getting late for fireball here.

"We go." I spoke.

She was talking to some other girls of her age as I grabbed her arm firmly, making her flinch.

I love that response.

"Did I stutter?" I asked her.

"N-no." She spoke, saying her goodbyes to the girls as she went to Storm.

I told her to hurry up as she shakingly tacked her mare.

The monsters were here and aimed for her.

Thunder looked at me as I patted his neck, mounting him.

She mounted Storm as Storm was rearing.

Her mare also sensed it.

But seeing her mare and I have issues, it would be the best to let her on her.

Thunder tried comforting Storm as she pranced.

"Easyyy..." Sophia spoke, wrapping arms around her neck.

"Okay, we switch." I dismounted Thunder as she dismounted Storm as we switched horses.

Storm wasn't too happy about me being on her but I kicked her to keep walking.

She wanted to buck as I pulled on her reins tightly to keep her head high so she couldn't.

She wanted to bolt as I lost my patience.

"AND NOW YOU BEHAVE!" I yelled at her, pulling hard on the reins, making her stop and behave.

She needed to be learned a lesson.

She was as stubborn as her boss.

Once we reached the castle I tacked Thunder off as she did with Storm.
