His to Save

Chapter 5: I'm Not Leaving Without Her

Viper

It's her! I cannot believe it, after all these years she is finally standing in front of me. She has definitely grown up. I can hardly believe this is the same little girl that used to drive me crazy by following me around everywhere. I can't help myself; I give her a wicked smile as I tilt my head to the side to study her. I have to hold back my laughter at her change in demeanor as I do.

She went from shocked and confused, to pissed off in record time. Not that I'm complaining in the least. Her arms are below her C cup breasts, her hip tipped to the side, and her long legs are spread out, as she glares those beautiful blue green globes of hers at me. I have to hold back the laughter I feel at the bottom of my throat, because I need her to willingly come with me tonight. Not that it matters in the least to me, I'll still force her if need be.

"Enough of this shit. Slide into the booth and lets get this finished up so I can high tail my ass out of town." Her despicable uncle grumbles at her. She straightens her shoulders and begins to walk towards the booth I just got out of. I can't help but be an ass, I move closer to the table, causing her to touch my body as she slides in.

I was wondering if she was as effected by me as I am her. If her catch in breath, the goosebumps growing along the skin of her arm, and the fact she can't look directly at me anymore tells me all I need to know. I have to bite my bottom lip to hold in my devilish smirk that wants to come out. There will be enough time for that later. Right now, I need to place my game face on to get through the rest of this night.

"What is this about?" I hear her whisper at her uncle to my left. I watch as the filthy animal, gives her a full-blown smile. "Viper here wants to take you and Lilith off my hands for good." I hear her surprise intake of breath. I see her turn her head my way out of the corner of my eye.

"Why would you do that?" She asks me. I turn my head to the side, raising an eyebrow at her. Is she serious right now? Why would I want to do that? I look at her uncle a moment. "Will you give us a second? I need to talk with her privately." He simply nods his head with a sigh, waving us off with his hand.

I stand from the booth, expecting her to follow me. When she doesn't, I reach over and grab a hold of her arm. I pull her from the booth and drag her along until we reach the door to the diner. "Lilith." She pulls her arm from me, looking behind her. A worried look is on her face, "My guys are watching her." I tell her honestly.

She looks from me to her baby sister, and back to me. "I don't really know any of you." She isn't wrong there. However, me and my brothers are very protective of children. I hold her face between my hands, looking deep into her eyes. "You used to trust me more than anyone else. Remember?" She doesn't remove her eyes from mine. Biting her bottom lip, she nods her head. "Can we stay close to the door where I can see inside?" I give her one simple nod of my head, as I pull open the door.

She looks at her sister once more over her shoulder. Lilith smiles at her and waves. The girl playing a card game with Hammer right now. With a deep breath, she walks out the door, standing off to the side, with her arms over her chest. I stand across from her, allowing her to look from me and into the diner.

Pulling out he cigarettes I have in my pocket, I place one in between my lips, and light it up. I see she is studying me in the dark, with only the light from the lamp post behind her illuminating her face. Her nose scrunches up, as she places her hand in front of her nose, while I let out the smoke from my lungs through my nose.

With a smile I ask her, "don't like cigarettes?" She simply shakes her head in the negative. "Let me just take a few more drags from this then I'll put it out." She doesn't speak, just looks away from me and into the diner once more. While her head is facing away from me, and I am covered in the darkness of the night, I take this moment to really look her over.
