Chapter 10
"Angel get your ass down from there."
She's going to be the death of me, it's been two weeks since the BBQ and everyday since then has been a trial.
I didn't know that breaking her out of that shell was going to unleash hell on my head, the girl is always getting into shit.
She's like a new born colt that finally finds her legs and starts galloping all over the place.
"Catch me Colt."
She let go of the hoisting rope and flew at me, f*cking nut.
"What the hell are you doing Angel?"
"Rappelling, you know practicing for when I go rock climbing."
"For when you what, who said you were going rock climbing?"
"Jared's gonna take me, off the cliffs at Devil's Walk."
Jared's going to get my foot up his ass, I've been slowly drawing her out of her shell, she's been a little more relaxed here lately, especially since I started giving her self defense classes in the evenings.
I keep after her, trying to build not just her body but her mind as well, Jared seems to see this new development to mean that the old her was back and kept getting her into shit, just yesterday I'd spent an hour watching her do stunts on the ramp outside that we used for the dirt bikes that were built for just that purpose.
I felt like a parent watching his kid without training wheels for the first time, I had to admit she was good though, but hell, I wish she would pick up scrap booking or some shit.
As if I didn't have enough to deal with here at the office, her and Carol had become best friends and were always into some shit, my little sister was now interested in skate boarding and Angel was only too happy to teach her.
My mother was apparently hitting the pipe along with my dad because all she could talk about was when I was going to get my head out of my ass and make a move on Kat.
She was petrified that Jennifer was going to get her hooks into me again, that's why she'd told her I would be there soon that day at the picnic, she knew I would be with Kat.
"You're not climbing any cliffs, don't you have shit to be doing in the office, that is what I'm paying you for after all."
"Speaking of which, I need a raise, your sister's always dragging me off shopping but I don't think she realizes that we come from two completely different financial brackets, that girl has very expensive taste and she whines every time I refuse to let her buy me something."
"You just started working here what a month, and you're already bitching about a raise, you're still on probation."
"What's my crime...sir?"
Oh ho, that's one of her new games, the sir thing, she's just trying to get my goat, I know she's no way near ready for what I want to do to her, at least that's what I keep telling myself, but it's getting hard to resist, especially when she wears one of her new outfits that my darling little sister had talked her into buying last weekend.
Short skirts and buttoned down silk shirts with just a hint of cleavage, I've spent more time talking to her chest in the last week than anything else.
Let's not talk about the heels. Shit, some of them had her almost meeting my shoulders, I've imagined f*cking her all over the shop in them in a million ways, but each time I pulled back.
She needed a lot more time, but just this once I'm going to call her bluff.
"I like my sex dirty Katarina, I'll make love to you often, but I'd f*ck you more, can you handle that little girl, if you can't let me know, and I'll ignore all these signals you keep sending my way, but if you keep it up, one day soon I'm going to take you to my bed and f*ck the shit out of you."
"I'm a virgin." She bit her lip as I studied her.
F*ck me.
Walking over to her I held her by the back of her head, my hand and fingers caught in her hair.
"That's a deal breaker, it doesn't matter if you can handle it or not, I'm taking you, you have one day to prepare, then I'm coming to get what's mine."
I touched my lips to hers before walking away.
I could swear I heard a soft moan. Game on.
F*ck, a man can only take so much, all the eye batting and sirs I'd been ignoring, maybe that was her way of telling me she was ready for more, it hadn't been that long, but the tension was evident even to a blind man, even my guys were starting to smirk every time I walked into a room 'til I wanted to smash their faces in. Clowns.
* * *
Run and hide Kat, yep, that's your best bet, you should know better than to pull a lion's tale, now you've gone and done it.
But was I ready for that, I know I've been teasing him unmercifully for the last two weeks, especially in the evenings when he taught me self defense, I'd bought the hottest yoga pants I could find and a mid riff baring top, I didn't miss all the ogling he was doing, and went out of my way to give him a little show.
If I wasn't bending down in front of him with my ass damn near touching his nose, I was giving him tittie shots.
It's a wonder he hadn't snapped before now, I know he was only holding back because of what had happened to me, I didn't want that anymore.
I've been happier in the last two weeks than ever before in my life, I know it's because of all the attention from Colton, the way he looks out for me, we've spent so much time together it's like we'd been together forever.
At night he called me or I called him and we talked, he was a great listener and he didn't just talk about the incident, but my life before, what I wanted to do with my future, things like that.
I'd learned that he was also a very take charge kind of guy, not that there'd been any doubt about that, but when all that forcefulness was focused solely on me, whew, let's just say my panty drawer was depleting at a rapid rate.
I better get back to work and try to get something done.
I went into the outer office and saw him talking to some guy who had just walked in.
* * *
What the f*ck was James Rossetti doing in my place, the only person I hated more than him was his f*cked up sister, them two and now the four dead men walking that had f*cked with my Angel.
Of course she chose that moment to come into the outer office, why couldn't she stay in the shop just five minutes longer, that would've been time enough to get rid of this ass.
If he didn't stop eye f*cking her like that I might karate chop his f*cking larynx.
"Something I can do for you Jimmy?" He sneered at the nickname, yeah I knew the prick hated to be called that, but I never really gave a f*ck.
"Yeah, you can introduce me to this new...piece you've acquired, who is she?"
He was so f*cked and he didn't even know it.
"Wait for me in the other room babe."
I watched as she started to obey me.
"Come 'ere." I pulled her to me and sucked her tongue into my mouth while palming her ass.
When I let her go I finally turned to the roach that was taking up my air.
"That answer your question?"
