My Protective Demon

Chapter 26

He walked out on to my slanted roof with perfect balance, showing that this wasn't his first time up there. I ignored that thought and followed him with my legs shaking from the nerves. Once both of my feet were on the roof Asher pulled me close to him so I was pressed against his chest. I quietly  squealed at the tingles all over my body. Asher pressed himself even closer to me and took a deep breath with mouth against my neck with my hair shielding his face. Feeling his breath against my neck I couldn't help but shiver.

He stood there for a moment just breathing against my neck then he reluctantly moved his head back so he was looking me in the eyes. "Put your face into my neck baby" he said which caused me immediately to blush and look down at my feet. "Do it baby" he whispered into my ear with his face leaned down. I couldn't stop blushing when I pressed my face against the crook of his neck. He smelled so intoxicating. Like smoke and the forest. "Good girl" he muttered and put his hand on the back of my head comfortingly.

All of the sudden he lifted my legs up with my neck still in his neck and jumped. I did a little scream and pulled him closer to me with my arms around his neck. Then he was on solid ground with me still holding him tight. "You can let go of me baby girl" he said with a chuckle. My eyes went wide when I realized we were on the sidewalk in front of my house and I was still holding Asher for dear life.

I let go of his neck and he lightly set me on the ground but not before his hand lightly touched my ass. My eyes went wide and I quickly stepped away from him once my feet were on the pavement but not before he abruptly put his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. Even after everything that just happened with Bill and his friend, Asher could still make me blush.

I looked up at Asher blushing with him smirking at me. "Let's go sweetheart" he said looking at my face with a small smile. I nodded and walked along the sidewalk with him still holding me close.

Walking with Asher by my side I couldn't help but feel safe. Asher gave off such a dangerous and intimidating vibe to everyone but me. With him next to me I know that no one could ever hurt me. I subconsciously leaned into his embrace. He tightened his hold on me.

We continued to walk in silence and once we were around auto repair shops and gas stations. "Where are we going?" I asked quietly.

I looked up at him but his eyes were ahead. "We are going back to my place."

All I said was a quiet "Oh" and looked ahead at the beat up part of town around us. My house wasn't in the best neighborhood. It was the type of place people go and feel uneasy. But with Asher I knew no one would hurt us. Just him looking at someone dead in the eyes would warn them off.

It wasn't that he exuded the strength and looks intimidating; it's more that he just looks dangerous. Like he was stronger that his outside persona was showing.

Yawning I put my face against his side, desperately wanting just to take a nap. Asher stopped and I looked at him confused. He looked at me with such care, it seems weird that this is the same guy who would terrify a NFl player with just a look. Looking into his eyes I somehow knew what he wanted me to do. I wrapped my hands around his neck. He moved his hands to the bottom of my thighs and I jumped straddling his waist with him holding me. 

I could feel tingles all over my body from the contact. Feeling comfortable I snuggled my face into his neck with my lips close to his skin. Asher tightened his hold on me and took a deep breath and then continued walking.

Walking up I notice I'm still in Asher's arms and that we are inside some hallway. I look around and see doors to apartment in the dim light. The hallway was obviously not one for a luxurious apartment but nothing could be worse than my living situation.

I moved my face from his neck and straightened my back so I can see Asher's face. He looked at me with a small smile on his face and leaned in and kissed me on my cheek right by my lips. My body erupted with new tingles. I blushed and hid my face back into his neck. I could feel him chuckle silently but then remove one hand from my thigh and into his pocket for his keys.

He opened the door and walked in with my face still hid in his neck. I heard him close his door and with that I straightened my back again he slowly set my feet back on the ground. I looked around at the studio apartment that was a decent size. There was a couch, tv, bed, dresser and a kitchen. Everything was either black or dark blue. It did fit his personality. I could feel his eyes on me but I tried my best not to think about it.

I walked to the couch with him following me. I sat down and pulled my legs up to my chest. He sat down and rotated his body so he was facing me. His legs were close to mine but I once again tried my best not to think about that.

I cleared my throat and looked down at my hands. "How did you move the knife?"
