Her natural honey brown hair is finally showing now that the coffee color has grown out. The wet waves outline her plump face, and I swear I have never seen anything so sexy in my life. Well maybe when the shirt she was wearing was mine and there was nothing underneath.
“Like the ninja turtle?” She cocks her head, eyeing me.
“Yeah, like the ninja turtle,” I laugh because she didn’t go for Leonardo DiCaprio or Leo the lion as Emily liked to call me. No, my little nerd went straight for a crime fighting turtle.
“Well Leonardo,” she walks up to me holding out her hand. “I am Alessandra. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
I gently pick up her extended hand and lay a kiss in the center. Her smile beams bright when I use my hold to yank her into my chest. My lips ghost over hers as they slightly part and her minty breath grazes across my skin.
Fuck, I could take her right now. I could kiss her finally after years of dreaming about it. Instead, I settle for placing a kiss on her cheek before pulling away to look at her gorgeous face. Though I do notice the slight clench of her thighs.
“Oh for fuck’s sake,” Shadow mumbles. “We need to get moving.”
“Fine,” she pouts, backing away from me. Reluctantly, I put my mask back on and adjust it into place before opening the door.
“That was fucking risky,” Shadow says, moving into the hall and practically storming to the staircase.
“Leo,” she whispers and I start to walk beside her. “ I’m sorry. I don’t really hate you. My brain is so muddiedwith everything. It still is but I shouldn’t have done that to you and Shadow.”
“Alley, we know. You don’t need to apologize for how you feel.” I whisper back. I wish I could tell her everything while holding her to my chest.
“I promise I won’t tell anyone your name.”
“I know.”
“But how do I fix this,” she asks by gesturing between her and a retreating Shadow.
“Make it through this,” I answer honestly. “I’ll do my best to help you and tell you all I know, but I need you to survive.”
“I’m not sure that’s an option for me.” She bows her head as we reach the stairs.
Shadow holds the door open, and we pass through. There are no words exchanged as we take her to the day room. Once at the entrance, Alley wipes her tears and strolls in to join Annie and Piper on the couch. She has mastered putting her feelings aside to comfort others.
Shadow, turning quickly on his heel, makes a bee line to Baron’s office. I have to practically run to keep up with him and I stop him before he can go in.
“We can’t leave her,” I speak, my tone low.
“I know that,” he grits.
“Then what’s the plan,” I ask.
“I am not sure yet.” He calmly opens Baron’s door and steps in.

Alley steps out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around her body, her freshly combed wet hair is draped over one shoulder, and it takes everything in me to stay put. I am the only guard in this room since Eagle left for his leave yesterday. I miss the fucker because at least with him here I could focus on keeping his ass in line and not be forced to realize that I may not be able to keep myself in line. At least not when it comes to her.
Yesterday, while we were in the car, I debated on crashing the fucking thing just so Caine wouldn’t know what it was like to be inside her. Granted that would have probably killed all of us, including her. As much as I want for her not to suffer here, I also can’t imagine her being dead. Death would be a blessing compared to this, but I am a selfish man, so she lives. We all do.
I just bit my tongue and tried to focus on the music but fuck that girl is so damn loud. Alley could wake the dead with her moans. Then add the slapping of their bodies and her begging. Fuck, it was hard to sit through. That’s not the worst part. No, the worst part was after Iturned around, the fucking asshole that Caine is, he laid her down on the center counsel. With her head in the front, giving him full access to her sweet cunt. I had to focus on the road while she came over and fucking over again.
Now I am not saying that I didn’t snag a few glances, because fuck yes, I did. But I imagined it was me between her legs, not him. There was one glance where she was staring at me. In her eyes, lust and pain intertwined in a tumultuous battle. I slowed the car down, so that I could watch both her and the road. I don’t know why she was staring at me and not Eagle or the man who was between her legs, but I won’t complain. I felt like she was waiting for my approval, like she needed me to say it was okay to cum for him. I did. I nodded at her and her eyes pinched shut with tears streaming down the sides of her face. She came again with Nik’s name on her lips.
I do take satisfaction that she was calling out his name and not Caine’s because fuck him for forcing Eagle and I to this. When her glossy eyes finally opened, I averted my gaze from her and focused on the road. Unfortunately, I think it hurt her doing that.
