Escort (Manxman) (On Hold)

Chapter 7

Kia POV:

Shit.

My heart fell through the floor as counted the money Tyler had given me in my hand. I don't know why I kept doing it, the fifty bucks he gave me was not going to turn into eleven hundred anytime soon.

What was I going to do!?

I couldn't go back, Tyler didn't have that kind of cash. He had no idea what he was getting himself into hiring an escort for the night, I had to leave earlier before the bill would rise any higher than it already had.
There was no way Tyler could afford to pay for this, and that could only lead to one thing.

I wasn't going to let Tyler suffer for a stupid mistake one of his asshole friends probably found a funny joke. It was too early for my handler to be here, so I took off by myself toward the company building. This kind of thing had never happened before, I was never alone like this in the outside world anymore. Miles was always right beside me, watching my every move.

I can't help the feeling that this would be a good time to make a run for it.

But..

If I did, I'd be leaving Tyler to the mercy of Timeless Company. I can't do that to him. No matter the amount of money, those bastards are going to get it back. I won't be the reason Tyler goes down, the guy is one of the good ones. He doesn't deserve it.

My decision is painfully clear as I make my way back to the building with a plan in my head. I have to be sneaky about this, because what I've been doing and how i plan to get the rest of this money could also get me in a shitload of trouble.

But I can't seem to stop thinking about those sad eyes, the feel of his hair in my fingers.

The sound of the way he laughed.

I'd only just met him, and I already knew that Tyler was one of those rare gems nobody could find.

Stepping through the company door I walked in with confidence, trying to mask the fact that Miles wasn't here with his hand on my lower back like he usually was. The receptionist looked up at me with a smile, but raised her brow as she looked around me for my handler "ended early, didn't want to bother him" I said passing by. Like I said, they keep a tight leash on us here and this wasn't normal.
I hurried into the elevator, pressed the button for my floor and impatiently tapped my foot. Careful not to show much expression to the cameras.

Come on, come on.

Time's running out.

Ding

As soon as they opened I was out, walking quickly down the hallway to my room at the end of the corridor and stepping inside. The door shut behind me, and quickly I set my bag down and rushed to my desk. My fingers traced the wood under the top panel of the under desk, sliding it open. The cash hidden inside was supposed to be for my escape. It was supposed to be for paying off my outstanding debt with Timeless amd getting the hell out of this business.

But I couldn't let Tyler get sucked into this place like i was.

I counted out the amount he was supposed to have paid for me, adding it to his fifty on the floor, then shoved the remainder back inside and closed my hiding place.

I'd just gotten off the floor, cash in my hand when the door opened.

"The fuck are you doing back without taking the car Kia!?"

Miles looked pissed, his eyes were fuming and rage filled orbs glaring back at me. His hand still on the door handle as he stepped into the room, then slammed it shut behind him.

I couldn't heat well enough over my heart beat, swallowing I held out the cash "I was done early, he lost the nerve to fuck me and I fancied a walk" I shrugged. "I was just counting it to make sure it was all there"

Miles glared and grabbed the wad of cash from my hands, counting it quickly and sighing before looking up at me again "you can't walk anywhere, understood? You know this Kia, people are looking for you and you can't be outside" he put the cash in his pocket, taking a step toward me. The back of his fingers gliding over my jawline gave me an unnerving feeling in my chest, I hated when he touched me.

"I know, I just missed walking. It won't happen again"

Miles hard expression didn't leave his face, the usual semi dark grin lingered and I know what was coming next when his fingers on my jaw slid around and gripped the back of my neck.

No point flinching, I know it was going to happen. Anytime Miles manages to get into my room and the thick skulled idiot realises I'm clean it happens.

"He lost the nerve to fuck you huh? I can't leave you expecting a good one and not getting it. That would be irresponsible of me as your handler"

What an asshole.

"Don't worry baby, no hickies or bruises. I know how to treat you. On the bed now" he shoved me briskly with the hand on the back of my neck toward my double bed, the one Miles made sure I got his for times like this.
Even though handlers aren't supposed to be allowed to touch us, they still do it. The assholes can't seem to keep their hands off the merchandise.

And as my evening slowly goes from sweet to intensely sour, I can't help but picture the sweet face I'd seen tonight as he opened that door to greet me. Thinking of him for me through the rest of that night.

Unedited because I'm writing this before I go on a trip XD poor Kia, hes a good guy. Tyler had no idea what he was getting himself into and Kia couldn't bring himself to tell him. He knew the poor guy couldn't afford it.

Miles I hate you. That is all XD
