Chapter 16

A virgin, she'd been a virgin.

That's the only thought that kept running through my head. There'd been lots of clues of course, and I'd even hoped, as hypocritical as that may seem, but the reality blew me away.

I felt even more possessive of her now, and I admit to a secret joy at the thought that she’d saved herself for me. If I was in love with her before, there were no words to describe the emotion I felt at this moment.

She hadn't answered my marriage proposal, just given me a sleepy smile before falling asleep, still beneath me. I couldn’t stop touching her and holding her close, as I gave my heart the time it needed to calm down.

She was really and truly mine now. Ten years of waiting had finally culminated in the most phenomenal experience of my life.

I kissed her sleeping lips and hugged her close with a final promise uttered in the dark stillness of the night. “I’ll keep you safe princess, no matter what.”

The more I laid there holding her, watching over her, the more pissed off I became. If you read the stories she wrote, you'd think she was this Amazon, this larger-than-life being that was afraid of nothing.

Looking at her, having had her under me, feeling her, knowing her. I was convinced more than ever, that she's to be cherished-comforted-loved. Not terrorized and nearly brutalized by a piece of shit asshole who doesn't even deserve to breathe the same air.

I should’ve cleaned his fucking clock when I had the chance, the force be damned. How could he, or anyone have done what he’d done to her, knowing that she was an innocent? Is that why he’d cheated on her, because she wouldn’t sleep with him? What an ass.

My gut turned at the thought of him trying to take her virginity in such a brutal way. The more I learned about this fucker, the more I hated him, and the more I saw what kind of man he really was. I could see him for a murder no doubt, and not because I was looking for an excuse to fuck him over.

He must’ve really pulled a fast one in the beginning to get her to even give him the time of day. The girl I know would never have fallen for someone like this guy. That got me to thinking about who else he’d snookered, and what else he was hiding besides his black heart.

I left the bed only long enough to grab my laptop from its case in the other room. It's in bad form, but I almost wanted Carter to be involved in the missing man's case, so I could bury his ass.

On the other hand, if he was involved, then he could prove dangerous. He'd want to cover his tracks well, keep things in the dark.

Shania, by the very definition of her profession, would be a threat to him, add the personal aspect and you have a cocktail for disaster. I needed to get an angle on him and soon.
