To heal a broken heart

Chapter 40

~Jayden's POV~

I feel furious! That fucking bastard won't live as soon as I get him! Daring to threaten my girl, I think the fuck not!

But right now I have to stay calm, for everyone's sake and especially for my little angel. The others left us alone, probably starting to call the other gang members and prepare groups for different tasks.

I didn't want to tell Holly how dangerous Aiden truly is, she's scared enough already. However, he's one of the sickest bastards I ever got to know. I know for a fact, that he tortures, rapes and kills wherever he goes, his list of illegal actions is probably three times longer than mine. He's a sadist and he's mentally unstable as fuck. He changes personalities to his liking, one time being a sweet little guy of persuasion, the next second he's a cold-blooded killer, depending on what he wants.

My sweet, innocent angel can't end up in his dirty hands. She just can't.

I watch her as she blushes after my question for her to show me her new clothes. She's truly the cutest thing! But wait, why does she blush? I thought it to be an innocent question.

"Something wrong?"

"Oh, uhm, no, give me a minute, I'll, uhm, get the bags", she stutters nervously, making me frown in curiosity. What did she buy, that it makes her so unsure? A few moments later I'm not any wiser, although she already presented a lot of clothes to me. I'm glad she used my card nicely, although I suspect my sister and Amber playing a huge roll in this. The discomfort I saw in her gaze when I handed it over to her before told me enough.

"That's all very nice, but why are you so flustered?", I ask suspicious. "Is there something else?"

Right on cue she blushes again, but protests and says there's nothing. I frown, but let it slide. She'll probably tell me soon enough.

"Juli brought us to a spa center afterwards. It was really nice, they even did our nails and all!", she distracts me in that moment and I smile at her, happy that she got some time to relax.

"That's why you smell so nice", I observe and pull her close to me once again, ignoring the mountains of clothing all around us. Taking a whiff of her scent I feel myself relax a bit, momentarily forgetting about the budding danger looming over her head. She cutely nestles against my chest, making my heart explode with warmth and care. I just want to squish her cute, chubby cheeks and lock us up in my room!

"I love you. You know that, right?", I mumble quietly. She freezes for a second, not saying anything. I nearly start to think it was to early, because technically it was, but then she hugs me even tighter.

"Well, you weren't so secret about it", she murmurs back. "And I love you too."

I grunt at her response.

"Smart-ass!", I grumble. Then I kiss her. She giggles against my lips and kisses me back, the same feverish want in her actions. Her hands come up around my neck, while I claim her hips, our lips feeling like my only lifeline. I push her back to the next wall and we nearly fall on the way due to the many clothes still lying on the floor, but in the end I have her up against one, kissing the living daylight out of her.

We move quickly, sloppily, but I don't care, all I want is her right now. Her soft body pressed against me, her little moans in my ear, her soft lips on mine and her tongue battling with my own. When I gently bite her bottom lip, her fingers clench in my hair, pulling on it and making me groan in response. She's so fucking hot!

Only when I feel myself getting serious problems down there I pull back. She whines in displeasure, but I just push my crotch against her tummy and she immediately shuts up. Her eyes nearly bulge out of her head, just like the last time she got to know about my hard-on for her. Redness spreads across her cheeks and I want to coo at her, but at the same time I want to show her just how much I want her.

"You make me lose it if we continue", I explain lowly and she nods against my chest, quickly hiding her blush from me.

"Can we just cuddle?", she asks me shyly. I smile down at her, her huge eyes blinking up at me timidly, begging for me to say yes.

"Of course, little one. Everything for my angel", I give in, pulling her away from the wall and out of the room. On the way I see Amber walking by and tell her to get someone to arrange Holly's clothes and put them into my room. Then I show Holly the way to the gaming room, which functions as a home theater as well.

Her eyes go wide once again and soon after we lie on one of the couches, all cuddled up together. She watches some unimportant movie, while I gaze down at the cute expressions she makes whenever something interesting happens on the screen.

Somewhere along the line her eyes slowly start to close and once the movie ends I gently gather her in my arms and bring her to my bedroom, carefully lying her down on the huge king-size bed. Before I leave the room I give her a short yet gentle kiss on her forehead, quietly wishing her a nice sleep.

I on the other hand am going to work now. I have to organize the whole search for Aiden and make sure he won't get a chance to come near my girl. She's way to precious for someone like him even looking at her!

When I meet the others they tell me what they prepared so far and I'm happy with their quick actions. They already chose some skilled people to track the asshole down and some others who are fit to look after Holly. We decide to always have at least three of them with her, waiting in front of the school gates when she has classes and otherwise staying within my building somewhere near her.

Within school Juli and I would take care of her and we plan to enlist Adam, George, Luke and Eric as well. False names and ages shouldn't be a problem, they'd just seem a bit mature, but I do too and am still going. Protecting her is my main priority now, everything else has to come after that.

It's two in the morning when I finally go back to my room. Holly curled up under my blankets by now, her form is rolled into a little ball of cuteness. I smile upon seeing her and tiredly change into some joggers to sleep in. Careful not to wake her up, I slide under the sheets and close my arms around her, cautiously spooning her from behind. She doesn't stir, so I happily close my eyes and upon smelling her sweet scent I quickly drift off to sleep.
