I didnât want to injure you, Angel.
A sigh leaves my lips as I stare at your unconscious body crumpled in the backseat where I put you moments ago. Now, that I know youâre planning on escaping, I canât just simply stand there and let you leave. You canât drive in the flood anyway since your panic got the best of you today.
Leaning forward, I lift a wet tendril and tuck it behind your ear. Sliding my eyes, they land on your head. Youâre not bleeding. Thatâs a good sign. You might wake up with a concussion though, and you might hate me even more.
I rather have your hatred than your death.
I turn around and my eyes land on the flooded streets.
Something flickers in my soul that we might not reach for hours. The local streets are watered down, and the window wipers are useless even though theyâve been working overtime.
Shrugging off my thoughts, I crack my knuckles and start the engine. Raking a hand through my hair, I eye my reflection in the rearview mirror.
Iâm completely soaked and my clothes cling to my body. I shrug off my jacket and throw it on the passenger seat. Cranking up the heat, I check to see if your body is hitting the warmth. Iâve removed your drenched coat too. Itâs a pity your clothes are still wet but donât worry, theyâll come off once we reach home. Iâm in your driverâs seat and I already feel suffocated. The seat is pulled so close to the steering wheel that I barely have room to breathe.
Shaking my head, my lips curl up and I push it back until I can exhale. I pull out my phone and send a text to one of my men to pick up my car later tonight. Sighing in relief, I steer the car away from the sidewalk and toward the road. I keep the speed below the bare minimum. Itâs a mess out there, and I canât see anything at all. Hopefully, we donât die today. Squinting my eyes, I turn the beams of the car to fully flash the light. I hope everyone else grows a brain and does the same.
Weâre about an hour and a half from Huntington but since weâre going at the speed of a snail, we might not arrive until hours later. I turn the radio on but keep it at a low volume. The silence in the car is killing me. Swiftly, I drive quietly.
You donât wake up through the night and I wonder if my hand had been too rough. I glance in the rearview mirror and youâre still unconscious. Youâre beautiful, you know that? Your pouty lower lip sticks out more when youâre asleep, and your lips parts as you breathe out. Sliding my eyes away, I focus on the road for the remainder of the drive.
We reach our destination after 9 PM, and from what Iâve gathered, weâve been on the road for hours.
My guards allow us entrance through the gilded silver gates and I swiftly slip through.
