Caspian

WE'RE IN THE car, heading to her place. I wish it were for other reasons than to just drop her off and make sure she gets in safely, but this will do for now. That fucker, Reid, needs sorting out. I'm holding her hand, stroking the back of it with my thumb. Every now and then I see she's drifted off in thought, so I bring her hand to my mouth and kiss it. She turns to me each time I do and smiles. She never objects to me touching her. Maybe she's coming around to the idea. “Penny for them?”

She smiles at me. “I was just thinking how messed up it is that since I started my dream job, my life has been a nightmare. Wondering how it got to this. I don't even know Reid. I don't know his name or him. I'm so confused and terrified of him, Caspian. I think he’s unstable and you never know what an unstable person could do.” She looks away out of the window, as we approach her home. Fuck, why does it have to be such a short journey? I want more time with her. Just being with her and being able to protect her is all I want. Well, it is right now anyway.

I give her a kiss on the mouth again. Nothing too passionate, but just enough to give her a taste for me, then I watch her enter the building. I’m not sure if these are apartments or houses. The price of property in this area is high, so maybe her Grandmother owns the place? There’s so much I want to know about her. She’s an enigma to me. Maybe that’s what the attraction is — the mystery of Macen Donald. Or is it because I’m used to women throwing themselves at me, and Macen hasn’t done that?

I also know I shouldn’t be going there with her. This could jeopardize her career completely, and I find all I want to do is help her with it. She does remind me of me in so many ways, work-wise. She turns and waves to me, and I wave back before she shuts the door.

Back at my apartment, Derek, the doorman, greets me as usual. “Mr. Kade, you had a visitor tonight, sir. I didn't let them up to your apartment.”

Strange, I usually know if anyone is coming around. “Who was it, Derek? Did you get a name?”

He shakes his head, no. “Sorry, sir. It was a tall man in jeans and a black biker jacket with a hat on his head. He asked what floor you were on, and I knew straight away that if he knew you, then he would know the answer to that question. I asked for his name to see if he was on the authorized person list, and he mumbled it didn't matter and walked out.”

Fuck, now he's trying to get into my place. Thankfully, we have security cameras all over the building. “Can
