I'm Only His...(Book 1)

Chapter 4: I do not owe you anything except my thanks!

Helena's P.O.V.

"I'm ready to collect what you owe me for saving your life Princess. Know that I always collect what is due to me." and with that he traces the outer shell of my ear with his long warm tongue. Crap.

Gasping in surprise by his action I step back again, unfortunately hitting the wall. Just my luck.

"Excuse me? What do you mean I owe you?" asking with widened eyes at him. He is joking right?

With another step forward the stranger places his hand against the wall next to my head. "I did not stutter Princess. I was the one who stopped those fuckers from raping you. I am your 'Savior' as you called me before you passed out in my arms. I do believe I deserve a payment for my acts of chivalry. Don't you think?" the touch from him tracing my cheek with his finger sends chills down my spine.

"What?" I say loudly moving my face away from his touch. He seriously must be kidding me.

"You.Owe.Me.Because.I.Saved.You." enunciating each word like I am slow.

"I am not slow. I just do not understand why I owe you for helping me get two sick bastards off me when they were about to rape me. The only thing I owe you is my thanks." Huffing I step away from him to leave until he grabs my arm pulling me back against the wall.

"No one walks away from me Princess. The sooner you learn the better it will be for you. Now, like I was saying. My payment?"

Shaking my head in disbelief I stay quiet for a few seconds. "Whatever happened to just doing something kind for a stranger without receiving anything in return? Knowing that you actually made a difference in that stranger's life." I whisper then sigh.

Looking up at him with watery eyes I look deep into his gray eyes "You do not know what you did for me Saturday night. The fact that I almost got raped by two drunken guys I have never met which could have killed me after. I was terrified and I did not want my first..." cutting myself off I stop talking, not needing to tell him I am still a virgin.

Taking a deep breath, I continue. "...you saved me, and I know I will never, ever forget what you did for me. I will be forever thankful for your act of kindness. So, thank you, thank you, thank you for not making me become another victim. Even though they still did --."

"Did those motherfuckers penetrate you?" he grits through his teeth taking me by surprise, his whole demeanor changing.

Not wanting to respond I just look down to the ground, but he lifts my chin up to look at him.

"Answer.Me. Did they penetrate you in any way?" gritting again he moves my hair aside to inspect my cheek which is still black and blue.

Feeling defeated I nod my head yes. I look away from the shame and because I do not want to look at his angry face. Hearing him mutter profanities under his breath he then slams his hand forcefully on the wall next to my head making me flinch.

"I swear to you, those two will get what is coming to them. What I did to them on Saturday will be nothing compared to what I will do if I ever see them again." he grits.

I am still confused to why he would be mad. He and I have never seen or met each other before that night, so I do not see the reason for him to be pissed off like he is.

"I have to go. My boyfriend must be wondering where I am." I say stepping to leave.

Grabbing my forearm, he stops me. "We are not done yet Princess. I will get --."
