**WARNING LITTLE BIT OF SOME HEATED SCENES IN THIS CHAPTER** ^read authors note at the end^

MIA POV

"Mmfff!" I yell out, but that's the only sound heard due to Carter's large hand covering my mouth.

"What was that?" He asks jokingly while flashing me a smile. Amusement is shown clearly in is hazel eyes.

I glare at him and lick his hand in attempt to get it off of my mouth.

"Did you just lick me?!" He fake gasps and then looks me dead in the eyes, "News flash kitten, we already swapped saliva that day in class. You're going to have to do a lot better than that."

I stare at him half in shock and half in embarrassment. My cheeks are practically tattooed pink whenever I'm around him.

I decide I've had enough when I step on his foot and make a move to jab him in the chest with my elbow. A trick I picked up from messing around with my brothers and watching them beat each other up. However, due to our size difference and my lack of coordination I fail miserably. As I went to jab into him after I stomped his foot he quickly grabs my elbow and twists my arm into a position behind my back. I found myself unable to move in his death grip, and soon my arm was hurting me to the point of tearing up. I'm used to rough housing with my cousins and brothers but this was all too real. I let out a whimper and start struggling but that only makes my arm hurt worse.

"Oh shit! I'm so sorry kitten," Carter says while releasing my arm. I snatch away from him as soon as he does and I rub furiously at my arm. I can already tell there will be bruising up and down it. People really are going to think I'm being abused between my busted mouth and my bruised up arm..

"A-are you alright? I'm really sorry kitten I didn't mean to. It's just a reflex I guess.." Carter apologizes while making a move to come towards me, most likely to check out my arm.

"I'm fine, really." I lied to him right through my teeth. Truth is it hurt like a bitch. I don't like to curse too often but this was an exception. I mean what on earth are my brothers going to say... oh crap my brothers!

"Ya know I would interrogate you and find out why on earth you are in MY dressing room, but my brothers are most likely going to flip if they hear us in here so.." I rambled to him while motioning towards the door in a 'get the hell out' kind of way.

"It's fine Mia, girls take forever in stores anyways. Please can I check out your arm?" He asked me.

"Fine," I sigh while walking towards him. He gently takes ahold of my arm and pales when he sees faint bruising in the shape of fingers wrapping around my arm. It was clear I had struggled because they got darker in color and larger as you kept looking.

**Carson's Pov**

Fuck. That's the only word that would come to my mind as I analyzed Mia's arm that's already showing signs of bruising. I'm supposed to be keeping a close eye on her and keep her safe because she's my assignment. My family runs a powerful gang and has recently been offered to take over a mafia. The catch was that we had to keep an eye on Mia because she is seen as their weakest link. The mafia we will soon run is rivals with Logan Carson who is Mia's father. My father gave me the assignment because I am to take over his business some day. He's even got my sister flirting with her brother Blake. But beside that point I actually like her. I'm not really sure how yet, I just know I do. I mean how could you not, she's hot without even knowing it.

Refocusing my attention back on Mia I lightly trace the bruises on her arm guiltily. I immediately retract my arm when she lets out a wince. I never meant to hurt her, but being trained the way I have been it becomes a natural reaction. You don't think in this lifestyle, only react.

"Back to the point.. what on earth are you doing in here?" Mia asks me.
I stare at her trying to come up with a believable lie. It's not like I could just tell her I was supposed to watch her at all times. Being the smart ass I am I took that a little too literal. I was hoping we could make out a little, but I knew she wasn't easy like that.

"Well," Mia breaks me out of my thoughts, waving her hand in front of my face. Her captivating blue eyes were staring into my hazel ones in attempt to break me out of my trance.

"Right, well I saw you come in here alone and took a shot I guess. I mean you aren't really ever left alone so I thought why the hell not," I half lied to her while shrugging my shoulders.

She scoffed before speaking up again, "Whatever jerk face," She mumbled out and rolled her eyes. Seeing her grow aggravated I decided to have some fun.

"So about having you alone," I whispered into her ear after pushing her back into the wall gently. I pinned both her arms above her head with one hand and wrapped my other arm between her waist, trapping it between the wall.

**Mia Pov**

My breath is literally knocked out of my lungs as I stare into Carter's hazel eyes in pure shock. His cool, minty breath hits my ear, whispering about getting me alone. As much as I want to give into him, I come to my senses and decide to tease him a bit.

"Well you've got me here now.." I attempt to bite my lip in a sexy way. I'm sure I failed miserably, seeing as I have no experience at all. He stares at me shocked at first but then puts one of his famous smirks on.

"Oh kitten," He stares at me with...hunger? I don't even know, I told you I'm new at this. I'm broken out of my thoughts as I see Carter's lips heading towards mine. I'm about to lean in when suddenly we heard loud banging.

"Are you alright in there mam?" A high pitched voice breaks us out of our moment. I don't know whether to be annoyed or relieved.

"U-um yes, just a moment," I reply nervously, fumbling around with the dress, just as I go to unzip it I come back to reality and see Carter staring at me in amusement.

"Ugh get out jerk face!" I whisper yell to him annoyed.

"Alright, alright," He says while moving to the curtain that acts as a door to the dressing room.

"Oh and kitten, that dress is a keeper, and nice face," He calls out over his shoulder with a smile and a quick wink.
Man if I thought my cheeks were pink before, that was nothing. Of course my face was still bruised up but he didn't care..

I exit the store leaving the dress there. I go across to the sports store and I see Ryan first. He's fiddling around with something, until he looks up and sees me.

"Finally, what the hell took you so long Mia?" He groans out and I just shake my head at him.

"Well, you know me. I always take forever shopping," I laugh out nervously. I hate being a terrible liar.

Ryan stares at me for a second, most likely debating wether or not to press further into the issue.

"Whatever, let's go get the others. They should be at the food court," He tells me while making a move to grab my arm to lead me there.

"Ouch!" I yelp as soon as he grips it. He didn't grab me harshly at all, but my arm was sensitive. How could I be so stupid! I totally forgot about the bruising.

"What now Mi-" Ryan stops mid sentence when he sees my arm.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU?!" He roared out, making all heads turn out way.
