"Nut Sacs Are a Girls Best Friend."

Chapter 26
-Days Later-

"Wow, I knew it. I had a strong feeling Zach liked you. Shit, what are you gonna do? You have Donovan, Max, unfortunately Jack and now Zach too?? Shit girl, how do you do it!?" Jess laughs while eating her ice cream, but I just shake my head.

I pop a spoonful of my sundae into my mouth, "It's not funny, Jess. I only want Donovan, but I need Max as a distraction and Zach is sweet and cute, but I--"

"Only want Donovan, yeah I get it." She pops a Oreo from her sundae into her mouth and then talks with her mouth half full, "So, when is he getting off of house arrest?" She suddenly asks and I smile broadly.

"Two more weeks and he's a free man." My heart pounds as I start to frantically think about us going out places together and sneaking off to different towns just to act like a real couple in public again. I feel a heat flushing over my skin, and I quickly tune back into Jess's conversation about her and Kyle.

Suddenly, she puts down her spoon and raises a brow at me, "So tell me about the Jack encounter." She looks at me with a listening expression, so I go ahead and launch myself into what happened and even what was said from him, and from Donovan before I unfortunately ran into Jack. After I finish the story, she looks at me and shakes her head slowly, "You need to start taking some self defense classes or something. So the next time Jack pops up and tries to be assaulting again, you can be ready to snap his arm or bash his nuts into the next millennium or even..."

She trails off in her self defense facade and I just laugh lightly to myself.

I really need to start making more time for this girl.

About another hour with Jess and we wrapped it up; yapping away in the car as Kyle came to pick us up and drop me off at my house. I wave at the car and then turn to walk inside the house. The door is unlocked like I left it and once I walk through the door, confusion happens.

"Donovan?!" I shout; wondering where he is. I take off my shoes and make my way through the house. Looking into the living room, I don't see him, so I continue my way into the kitchen and start rummaging for food. Damn, why didn't me and Jess go for burgers instead?? I shake my head in disappointment and go to open another cabinet, when the lights in the kitchen suddenly flick off.

I stare up at the dark ceiling and go to turn around, but a hand clamps over my mouth quickly and an arm wraps securely around me too. I squeal and try to buck my way out of the strong embrace, but the voice that speaks into my ear burns relief in me instantly.

"Don't do that. If an attacker were to ever come at you like this and you do that, they will definitely get the wrong idea, if that's not what they were attacking you for in the first place." He says and I groan in frustration. I lift up a foot and slam it back down onto his foot, and he yelps out; letting go of my mouth.

I breathe heavily, "Donovan?! What the hell?! You nearly scared me half to death!" I shriek and he hisses under his breath at me.

"I've been thinking about how you aren't very good at defending yourself, so we're practicing right now. Pretend you don't know me, Zaria. Pretend I'm an attacker that's sexually trying to assault you and you need to get away. If I get your zipper undone, you've failed -- alright?" He asks quickly.

I widen my eyes, "Wait! Can't I get a break--"

"No breaks when you're being attacked." He growls and then we're on the floor. I shriek and throw my weight over on top of him, but he's quicker. He tosses me back onto my stomach and places his heavy body on top of me. I stiffen as he leans forward and buries his face into my hair and starts creepily smelling me.
