Roan Black - Four

Chapter Four

Audrey plugged her phone in and decided to make herself something to eat. Going to the fridge, she opened it and frowned resisting the urge to bang her head against the door. She hadn't gone shopping before coming here and therefore didn't have any food to eat, nor did she have anything other then water to drink.. She had to be the most forgetful person in the world and she still needed to take a shower. Sighing, she turned and went upstairs. She walked into the bathroom, turned the shower on adjusting the temperature and undressed. Just as she was about to get in, she heard a muffled knocking sound. Frowning, she turned the shower off and peeked her head out the door to listen better. She heard it again, but this time she was sure someone was knocking on her door. For a split second fear consumed her, which froze her to her spot. What if it was him? The question repeated itself several times before she grabbed her over large t-shirt and threw it on. Walking down the stairs as quietly as she could, she went to her purse which had a 22. pistol and turned the safety off the weapon, before moving to the door.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she opened the door with the chain lock still in place. She wasn't sure if she wanted to weep in relief or slam the door and run back upstairs when she seen Roan's large figure standing on her porch. The man was too sexy for his own good and completely oblivious to the affect he had on her. His clothes changed since she had last seen him. He no longer wore complete black attire, but now stood before her in fitted jeans and a white T. Deciding to get her fear under control she shut the door just long enough to unlock the chain and hide the pistol behind her back."Yes?" She bit her lip when her voice sounded foreign.

Roan wasn't sure what possessed him to walk next door, he wasn't even sure what he was going to say, but the need to be closer was just too much for him to ignore. He blamed all his emotions on his lack of sleep and his hunger. He knocked several times, but each knock made him suddenly worry. He remembered Audrey talking to her friend and frowned. What did she mean about being safe here? Was she unsafe in the city? Had she been hurt before? So many questions that Roan had no answers for. He was about to knock again when he heard the door nob turn. The door barely opened, but Roan found himself relaxing at the mere sight of her. He didn't know what got him so worked up, for all he knew she had been sleeping. He was about to speak when the door was shut for a split second then opened wider. Roan could feel his eyes widen when he took in Audrey's appearance. She just had an overly large shirt on, but it was evident to him that she didn't even have a bra on. Her hair was messy, but the look made her over all appearance seem- erotic. Thoughts of her laying in his bed, sprawled out and waiting for his pleasure floated through his mind and his body reacted swiftly to the images. He cleared his throat, looking away from Audrey hoping that would help him gain back control.

Audrey's face heated as she watched Roan's eyes move along her slowly, before returning to her face. She shouldn't have opened the door barely dressed, but she wasn't thinking. Besides, it didn't matter. She cleared her throat, hoping to get Roan talking.

"I have to run into town, I didn't know if you've eaten already and just wanted to come see if you wanted to come along." Roan frowned over his own lie, he hadn't wanted to go out, but then he supposed it was the best explanation to give considering he was standing on her porch.

Audrey tilted her head slightly, he frowned as if he didn't like the idea, but yet he had come and asked. The man sure was confusing. "I actually do need to go into town. I forgot to grab supplies before coming here and didn't have anything to eat. I was just about to take a shower when you started knocking, so if your offer still stands in about ten minutes then sure."

The images slammed into Roan once again, making it hard for him to speak so he simply nodded, turned and walked back to his cabin. He slammed the door behind him, earning a confused look from Drake.

"Did she agree to go with you?" Drake asked, watching Roan stride to his bedroom. Completely ignored, Drake flinched when Roan slammed his bedroom door shut. "Sheeesh, what's his problem?"
