Liberation [completed]

Protector- Asher

I watch her as she spreads the butter over her toast. Then she places the eggs over the bread and places another bread over it making a sandwich. Then she brings it to her lips and takes a small but cautious bite and sets the bread down. She looked so ladylike and perfect. Her eyes roam up to mine and I try to look at her casually and not like I had just lusted over her making her breakfast. 

"What?" Mia asks disrupting the image in front of me as she speaks with her mouth full of bread and egg, so much for lady-like. 

"You were acting elegant in your natural state," I tell her smirking at her in mockery.

Mia glares at me angrily and annoyed.

"Don't you think it's odd that you're so elegant and ladylike when you're not putting in any effort but when you realise it, you act like a cave...woman?" I ask her teasingly grinning widely continuing to tease her. Seeing her smile was a good sign, it had to be. I told myself it was, that I was reminding her of what we had. 

"Don't you think it's a little creepy for an old man like you to be staring at an innocent, young girl like me?" She asks me as she swings from side to side on the stool.

Fuck this girl could make me horny by just talking. I watched as he breasts moved in union and I set my utensils down.

"Sweet heart, you're nowhere close to innocent, and I know that from personal experience" I tell her in a husky voice. I watch as she rocked forward pressing down on her middle and her face turning red.

It was just like the old times, or a few weeks back. Us, together without anything else in the world bothering us. Mia's world hadn't just blown apart and come together again. We were all fine. I wasn't still boiling mad from what I heard happen to her and I didn't have a target on who I could aim my anger at. 

This morning there were two people: One her father and the other was Mark Banning. I'd be damned if I didn't get my hands around that fucker's neck and squeeze the last particle of air out his system. After what he did to Mia, he should be lucky, I wasn't flying down to Vegas right now to hunt him down and destroy him.

"Yes, another thing to add to your list of wrong-doings, stripping the innocence off innocent girls" Mia says slicing through my pent up anger and reminding me to stay calm. Mia didn't have to know my plan. It was the kind of thing you told her after the job was done, so she wouldn't try and stop me and I know she had the power to. 

I lean forward in my seat and hover just in front of her lips, "The only problem is that said innocent girl, was begging for me to strip her" I remind her of the first time she asked me to undress her. I lean in and lick the side of her mouth and pull back, "She was a fully consenting individual" I say calmly and huskily. 

Mia frowns at me for not kissing her like she wanted me to. As she continues eating, I continue to watch her for any signs of her losing her calm. It was easy since she was sitting next to me but I hoped I was good at being discreet.

"Okay! Enough! Stop staring at me! I'm fine!" Mia cries in protest and turns to face me, catching me as I watch her.

I debate between denying her accusation and admitting to it, the latter seemed to reap more gains. "Fine. I am watching you."

"I. Am. Fine." Mia says slowly and nodding her head for effect.

"Are you really? You literally just found out so much last night and you barely cried or got angry or did anything. You're perfectly fine today. That's not normal!" I tell her worriedly.

"So, there's never a good time is there? I'm either not normal or I'm too normal, what do you want Asher! I am fine. I'm serious! I got my answers and I know that if I have any more questions I can ask my father! I just want to put this behind me. I'm done with this" She says tiredly as though each word was pulling her down.
