Pretend Wife

Chapter 10

Am trying to write new chapters real quick since it's been a while since I've written anything for you guys.
Enjoy.

Max's POV

He almost...touched her, how dare he? She's mine, mine to touch. I made it freaking clear.

I pulled Kelly tighter in my arms. I stared down at her face, she had been crying. Her beautiful face seemed so tired and dehydrated.
I was not there, when she needed me. I should have stayed home with her, another day away from work wouldn't hurt.

I carried Kelly to her room and laid her on the bed. When I tried to cover her with the sheets, she opened her eyes and the next words she said where my undoing.
"Please stay, I don't wanna be alone. I'm scared."
I know it sounded pretty normal coming from her. She had been almost raped.

I stayed frozen for I don't know how long then I decided to sleep over the covers.
Kelly gave me a confused look. "Why aren't you..."

"I...I," I hesitated a bit but when I saw her wide blue eyes all hesitation flew out the window, "I don't trust myself around you."

She tensed but didn't scream rape or that there was a manwhore in her bed. There was a little fear in her eyes and she kind of pulled away from my arms. I never cared if my actions ever hurt anyone but seeing her suddenly afraid of me, it hit me somewhere.

I can't hurt you, if I did I wouldn't be able to look myself in a mirror again. I wanted to say the thought out loud but then I heard her steady breathing. She had already fallen asleep.

I spent hours ogling at her, shameless of checking her out. God she's so beautiful. I took some of her hair and  curled it around my fingers.
So soft. I shouldn't like you, you're not the type I usually go for.

I let her hair fall back down, too afraid that if I continued to touch her I'd break her. I turned on my side knowing if I stared for a while longer, I would be sleep deprived.

Someone nudged my arm from my face then hit my cheek.
The same person poked my cheek multiple times. "Wake up," a girly voice said.

Shit I don't remember taking home anyone. Oh well.
I reached out and pulled the girl on top of me, she felt good. She tried to wiggle out of my arms but I quickly tightened my hold on her hips. "Where do you think you're going?" I asked in a sleepy voice.

I opened my eyes to face my latest conquest only to see a very confused Kelly.
Shit, I thought then realized we were in our clothes. Sadly.
