ACE
I saw the way Melissa stiffened when I pulled the knife from my boot and threw it at the target. There was a split second that I hated she was afraid I could harm her.
I’d never hurt her, never even dream of it. Hell, I’d kill, maim anyone who thought of putting fear in her.
It fucking kills me and I want to give her every reason to know that she’ll always be safe with me.
“Throw it at the target, Melissa.” She pulls her gaze away from the knife to look up at me. “If anyone has ever hurt you, they’re that fucking target. Throw it.”
“I’ve never been hurt enough by anyone to want them to be the target, Ace.” She brushes past me to stand where I was just moments ago when I threw it. “But I’ll be more than happy to pretend it’s your parents.”
Before I can say anything or react to the fact that she hates my parents so much for hurting us, she throws the knife at the target but misses it, hitting the wall beside it.
“Here.” I walk over and pull the knife out of the wall before I make my way back over to her. “Don’t think so much next time. Just relax and aim.”
She takes the knife from me as I hand it to her.
I stand back and watch as she throws it again. A satisfied smile spreads across her face when it hits the target this time.
I fetch the knife and allow her to throw it a few more times. She seems to be enjoying it more with each throw and I can’t help but to get turned on by watching her.
As much as I’m enjoying watching her let loose, I still can’t get that look of fear that was in her eyes when I grabbed my knife out of my head.
She throws the knife one last time, but instead of handing it to her and stepping away, this time I hand it to her and back her against the wall.
“I’ll never fucking hurt you, Melissa. I need you to know that.”
Keeping her pressed against the wall with my body, I grab the back of my shirt and pull it over my head. I toss it aside and look down to see her breathing heavily, her gaze roaming over my body.
“I wasn’t afraid of you hurting me, Ace. I’m just in an unfamiliar place and the knife caught me off guard . . .”
Her words trail off when I grab her hand and place the blade of the knife to my chest. “I’d let you cut me before I ever let any harm come your way. I’ll always fucking protect you.” I stare into her eyes, seeing them grow wider, her shock, maybe even a little bit of fear of the situation, claiming her. But I can also see she knows the truth, can see it in her expression. “Now. Cut me.”
She shakes her head and attempts to pull the knife away from my chest, but I push it farther into my skin, drawing blood.
