C4 CHAPTER 4

LEILANI

He took a step close to me, and I found myself taking steps away from him.

I'm staring at the scariest man I've ever laid my eyes on in all my life. He was build like a tank, and so tall, I barely came up his shoulders.

I recognized the look he gave to Jonathan when he refused to let me go, and I know it's a look that says Danger.

Every part of him was screaming danger. And that is why I find myself taking a step away from him as he walks closed to me.

"M-Mr....." I clamped my mouth shut when I drew a blank. I don't even know his name!

He doesn't seem to care because he kept stalking closer to me like a hunter would do it's prey. I gasped as my back touched the cold wall.

He walked closer until he was so close I could breathe in his masculine scent. Then, he placed two hands on either side of my head, successfully caging me in.

I swallowed hard as he leaned in. "Don't allow another man close to you ever again, do you hear me."

I was scared. I swallowed tightly and tried to be brave. "Now listen, Mister, I don't even know yo--"

"Don't fucking say it." He growled low.

I clamped my lips shut and stared up at him, jerking at his use of words. I'm not used to people using cuss words around me. The sisters never cussed.

"You don't ever let a man touch you anywhere again, do you hear me?"

"O-Okay." I don't know what spurred me to answer but I did. Maybe it's my survival instincts to give him what he wants so that he can move away from me.

I pleaded in that moment that a customer would ring the doorbell.

"Good girl. You are mine, no one else's."

"I'm not yours." I forced out.

"You are whatever I say you are, Lani. You are goddamn mine." He spoke through gritted teeth, his hands curled into fists as of it's some he's straining himself from putting a hand on my skin.

ZERO

I want my hands on her. I want my cock in her. My want my tongue in her.

I settled for raising a finger and running itt along her palm arm. Fucking skin so smooth.

"H-How did you know my name?"

"I know a lot of things about you."

"I don't even know your name!"

"You can call me Zero."

Her ears perked up. "Is that your name?"

"Yeah." I leaned closer and breathed in her flowery scent. I want to kiss her.

I stared at her lush plump lips. My cellphone vibrated in my damn pocket.

"Fucking cocksuckers." I gritted out at the goddamn interruption. She winced at my words and her cheeks turned red.

Mother-fucking-Jesus. She blushes too? Where the fuck kind of hole did she crawl out from?

Instead of replying her, I dug into my damn pocket, withdrew my phone and placed the bastard to my ear.

"This better be good, Morris." I barked.

"The boss is looking for you."

I pulled the phone a bit away from my ear and glared at it. "Do you know why?"

"It's about Falcon. Bastard has been sighted and the boss wants you in on it immediately."

My ears perked up at the Bastard's name. As a motherfucker, I know a lot of bad motherfuckers like me that I want dead. Falcon tops number 3 on the first 5 list.

"I'm coming immediately. You better wait for me or I'll feed you your black hairy balls when I get there."

"Go fuck your mother, asshole, of course I'm waiting and not because your fucking cock deserves it." Came the grunted response.

I hung up the phone and pocketed it. Lani was looking the relieved because I was leaving and her cheeks was as bright as tomatoes.

She has something to say too but the words seem to be caught on her throat.

"What?"

"Y-Your words are not proper, Mr Zero. Please, don't say them a-around me." She whispered bravely.

My lips curved to a corner but I didn't reply. Instead, "You be careful whoever comes here. You don't allow any motherfucker put his hands on you or I'm gonna kill him."

Her eyes widened to unbearable degrees. "You kill people!?" She gawked in horror.

"Hell, yeah. It's what I do, baby doll."

Fear clouded her vision and she shrank away from me. "Killing people is bad."

I chuckled because I couldn't help myself. "I'm glad you think so, doll. So, save their lives by making them keep their distance or their skull will splatter everywhere."

That said, I turned to leave. Stopped. Turned back and kissed her neck. I ignored her gasp of surprise, before I turned again and walked straight out.

It's nearly not fucking enough, but this taste of her will have to do for now.

I've got that cocksucker Falcon to nail to the goddamn cross.

Then, I'll come back again for her. Oh, will I be back tomorrow.
