Running From The Big Bad Wolf

5.

I saw the surprised look on his face and I tried so hard to keep my eyes on his. I didn't want them to roam over his body. I didn't want him to see me do it either.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about, Caitlyn. So while I am here, you are staying inside. You won't leave the house at all, under no circumstances. Since I have to stay here, I will be working here."

"Well, duh." I drawled out, making Axel irritated and it made me smirk.

Axel closed his eyes for a couple seconds and took a deep breathe. It looked like he was trying to keep himself calm to be honest and I should stop pushing him.

Axel left me there, walking out, muttering under his breathe, saying something about he should have taken a different offer while shaking his head.

It made me frown. A different offer? What in tarnations is he on about?

I jumped off the bench to follow Axel but he was gone. I wondered through the house, heading to the study, knowing every move I make, I'm being watched.

Someone took my arm and I spun on my heel, glaring at them.

"You can't go in there." I was told, making me frown even more.

"That's my study room. In my house." I gritted my teeth. But his hold on me was still very strong. I placed my hands up in a surrender. "Fine!" I snapped and stormed off.

I'm gonna have to ask him what he meant another time and while I'm at it, I'll be asking why is there so many people here.

I got my chance the next day. I had next to no sleep because I tossed and turned all night. The reason why is because I was having dreams, inappropriate dreams. It was steamy and made my heart race whenever I caught myself thinking off it.

It made me blush, all the things that happened.

That wasn't the problem though. The problem was who exactly I was dreaming about.

The big bad wolf.

Axel Wolf.

After that, I tried not to go to sleep and when I had calmed down, as soon as I closed my eyes, there he was.

I shuddered. I didn't really want to see him at all. Those dreams, it was all kinds of messed up.

I didn't even want to think about it. It made me blush, I felt all hot and it made me have shallow breathing as my stomach twisted.

Oh god.

Stop thinking about it! I screamed in my head.

I kept my head down, trying to think of anything else but... That.

I wasn't watching where I was going and walked straight into some one. "Watch it!" I grumbled as I peeked up.

Oh crap.

"You weren't watching where you were going!" Axel snapped at me and I went wide eyed.

"Oh... sorry." I whispered, slightly embarrassed. I could feel the blood run up my face.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" I snapped at him.

"You look really red in the face."

My eyes went even wider. Oh god, kill me now! I wanted to melt through the floor. "I'm fine!" I screeched out in my hormonal fit as I stomped off.

My pulse was racing and I tried to calm myself as soon as I went in to my room and slammed the door shut, leaning on it.

I can't like him. That would be morally wrong. I need to get out off here and as soon as possible. Go up north, like I promised Eli.

Alright. I can do it. Through the laundry. I need an excuse to why I'll be going downstairs. I looked over to my bed and grinned.

I quickly stripped off a blanket and rolled it up in my hands and left my room, heading to the laundry.

I went in and closed the door behind me, shoving my blanket in the machine and acting normal, adding the washing powder and fabric softener. I sat on the bench for about five minutes.

Everyone knows I stay in the laundry while I use it. So when I gave it enough time, I stood up, trying to stay calm, act normal. With a deep breathe I placed my hand on the door that may lead me to my freedom.

Act normal, act normal. I repeated in my head. I opened the door and stepped out on to the little verandah, my eyes glued to a target. The back gate that leads down onto the next street over.

With determination, I took one step, then another, my eyes not leaving the gate. But I only took about five steps when I felt a hand on my shoulder and I froze. I felt so cold as I turned to find one of Axel's men there.

"Come on." He said softly, making me turn around. His grip went from my shoulder to my arm as he led me back inside then to the study. "Boss." He said gruffly, making Axel look up.

I noticed he was on the phone and I saw the flicker of annoyance in his face as his eyes bored in to me. Without another word, Axel cut his call off and placed the phone on the desk, giving the man holding me a quick nod.

Instantly my arm stopped hurting where he held me and left the room.

I never came in to this room till recently. Everything was mismatched. The desk was overly large, it held a laptop on it, I assume is Axel's and there were books on the shelves. The lounge was still against one wall and the other wall where the desk sat were a couple one seat sofas.

There were no photos up of my family. I can't remember if there ever was in this room.

Axel pointed to a chair and I hesitantly sat, feeling so uncomfortable. I was in my father's study in front of Axel. All I had to do was not think about last night's dreams...

Crap.

Nice one, I thought to myself.

"Where is your mother?"
Was the first thing he said to me. I was expecting the whole you don't get to leave the house talk. So this really threw me off.
