A Deadly Desire

CHAPTER EIGHT - 1...2...3

''Eight. One either side of the door. Three on the upper floor balcony and two guarding Lorenzo.''

''I want Lorenzo kept alive, take out the rest.'' Roy and Zane each gave a concerned look and then back at Carter.

Carter's POV

I looked over at the warehouse and a stream of rage crawled up and reached my fists, I grabbed my black coal gun from my leather jacket and loaded it. Lorenzo killed Father, pulled a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. He was killed in front of me and my mother... many secrets remain untold. I held my head high and took over the family business, I became selfish and emotionless I taught myself that never fall in love never become attached. I have been looking for the bitch for so long at last I have found him; I can't get Nicole out of my head for once I was wrong. I felt the urge to help her. But I haven't taught my self to be like that.

We went in and cleared the minions out one by one, gun shots flying all over the place taking control, my aim was to find him and so I did. He made a run for it near the exit, I ran towards him and pushed him into the rusty metal pole. My anger rose more than ever, I threw a punch to his face making his nose bleed, the moan was filled with pain, as I kept punching his eyes began to sink. I never wanted to kill him; I want to make him suffer more than ever. After I knocked him out, I got Roy to give me hand, we out him in the back of the mustang.

END OF POV.

It was 12:07am everyone had gone to bed expect one person. Nicole was fully awake staring out of her sheer glass window and sat on the ledge with a blanket barely covering her baby soft skin. A tear rolled down her face elegantly but meaningfully, many questions looping around in her head. Her hair was tied back and a baby blue silk nightgown to keep her safe. The makeup she wore all off and the wispy air touching her smooth skin. The front door clicked soundlessly however noticed by Nicole. She got up letting her blanket fall to the floor and she opened her oak door, shaking while taking the first step onto the dim hallway. She popped her head around the corner to see Carter observing out of the main entrance window, millions of thoughts travelling through his mind.

''Hey...'' Nicole quietly said coming down the stairs. He turned round to see her.

''Your still up?'' He was curious yet pleased that she was still up.

''Couldn't sleep. Where have you been?'' She came down on the last step and sat down.

''Why do you care?'' He sighed. He faced back to the window and leaned his arm against it.

''The cockiness does suit you doesn't it.'' Nicole got up and switched the kitchen light on and sat herself on the velvet bar stool. Carter followed and leaned against the counter at the other end of the room, looking deeply into her ocean eye's.

''Why are you so curious?'' He asked.

''I don't know. Why are you so you all the time?'' Nicole grinned.

''I don't know. It's in my DNA.'' Carter let out a small laugh.

''So, where were you tonight?'' She asked again. Carter shook his head and rubbed his face.

''I had something come up.'' He said openly. ''Why are you still up?'' He asked her with a slight smile on his face.

''Nightmares.'' Nicole felt goose bumps rise up her arms.

''What are they about?'' Carter went over to the sink and grabbed two glasses and a wine bottle. Sitting beside her and dishing out the fine sleek wine. His presence made Nicole flush although she never showed it, she loved his company more than anything.

''Home.'' She said taking a sip of her eyes and then looking up at Carter.

''What happened?'' Carter was intrigued, his eyes never leaving hers.

''You already know... don't you?'' Nicole knew he was right.

''You don't have to be afraid anymore, no one is ever going to hurt you and I promise you that.'' Carter knew what he had to do. Nicole smiled and nodded.

''What if they come after me?'' Nicole gasped. She knew one day they would catch up to her.

''Then I will protect you, everyone in this house besides the little ones will protect you.'' Carter took his wine glass and drank some of his drink.

''Why?'' Nicole asked. Making Carter hesitate.

''Why what?'' Carter said.

''Why are you helping me?'' Nicole never felt so protected and connected in her life, she knew this was were she was meant to be.''

''We are family. And you are part of it.'' He answered.

''Who's the girl that always clings onto you?'' She said with a jealous tone.

''Is someone jealous?'' Carter grinned playfully. And took another sip of his drink.

''No, why would I be?'' Nicole answered quickly.

''Of course, I mean she is a one of a kind.'' Carter laughed and winked at her.

''Never thought there was only one bimbo in the world.'' She locked eyes with him.

''Way of words Miss. Perez.'' He couldn't take his eyes off of hers.

''Yep, I taught myself well.'' She resumed.

''How so?'' He questioned.

''I learnt that helping people is what I hold close in my heart and that someday someone will love me more than anything.'' She said and quickly added on. ''And to deal with people like you.'' She laughed placing her drink on the counter and playing with it and then looking back at him.

''People like me. Care to elaborate?'' He said with a grin.

''Sure.'' She said with confidence. ''you're the type of guy that can sweep any girl of her feet. The type of guy that has been hurt and struggles to open up and has to deal with a piece of plastic every day.'' She laughed and turned to him.

''True and you seem to think you know my struggles?'' He said and then added. ''And the piece of plastic I put up with is fucked up in the head, it's only pleasure that I desire Miss. Perez.'' A grin spread across his face.

''You know your self better than anyone and I did not need to know your sex life.'' She laughed.

''I do know myself. I don't care about anyone. I do what makes me happy no matter what it does to people around me.'' He said in a tone.
