He set his eyes on Ruby years ago and now he had returned to clams what is his. ------------------------- "You really got a bad attitude." "Only for you." I smirked going to turn away from him. Colton grabbed my wrist and pulled my body right to his chest making me squeal for how fast his movements were. "Now don't make me play the bad guy little one." I was pushing as hard as I could to get out of his grip and doing everything that I could. What shocked me was when he slapped my ass. I was mortified. No one had ever touched me like he was right now and I didn't want it. I couldn't help myself when my hand came up and went across his face. His head went to the side with the force I put behind my smack. I won't lie I was proud of my work. I went to move back but he kept his hands on my waist. He picked me up and grabbed the bottle from my hand throwing it somewhere on the lawn. This is where all panic came to me. I didn't know what this guy could do. He was from a family of KILLERS! "I-I'm Sorry! Please put me down!" I cried as I saw him carrying me closer to the pool. "To late now baby."
