"He just called her some very vile names which leads me to believe he knows you two are an item and may have even been watching you two. To answer your question we have no proof that he's the one responsible. He's very good and slipping through the cracks. We had the landlord keeping an eye out he's the one that made the call. Apparently you made quite the impression on him."
"What do you mean you have no proof? She told you he did it, you were there when he accosted her at the bar."
"Yes but no judge is going to give us a warrant without more than hearsay which is what this is. Besides he didn't actually do anything more than tug on her arm that night."
"Huh, fine, like I said, if I find him first his ass is fucked."
"Wyatt, don't do anything stupid now." I hung up the phone pissed the fuck off again. Today was supposed to be special, I'm fucked if I'm gonna let that little asshole spoil it.
I wasn't planning on telling her shit about this latest development. I didn't want anything marring the joy that was still so evident in her eyes when I picked her up after my talk with Jace.
I scanned the area as I took her to the car being careful not to let her catch me at it.
"What's wrong Wyatt?"
Fuck, she's good. "What makes you think anything's wrong?"
"You're on high alert."
Damn, could she really know me this well already? "I just have some things on my mind baby, nothing for you to worry about." I kissed her to distract her because there was no way I was bringing that shit up.
"You're not having second thoughts are you?" She stopped short and tried to pull away from me. I'm gonna kick that fucker's ass first chance I get. Why? Because; on the day after I've taken her for the first time I should be concentrating on her, on us. Instead my mind is preoccupied with him and she's back to being worried and skittish.
"Get back here." I tugged on her arm pulling her back into my chest. "I'm gonna forgive you this once for calling me a liar but don't let it happen again." I kept my tone light and playful to put her at ease.
"When did I do that?"
"I told you I love you didn't I? Why would you ask me one day later if I was having second thoughts? Wouldn't that make me a liar? By the way if anyone should be feeling worried it's me, I told you-you didn't tell me."
She opened her mouth but I stopped her. "Uh-uh-uh, I don't want you to say it until you're ready, I can wait it's enough that I know. Just don't make me wait too long huh babe."
I had to hide my preoccupation at lunch, but my mind was on keeping her safe. Now that I had her all but bagged and tagged, my mind was filled with the fact that I was going to be leaving soon. She was at a critical point in her internship or some fuck, whatever the fuck that means, and couldn't get the time off, and I couldn't get out of my obligations.
"You're not staying today?" I'd just brought her back to the judge's place and was headed back out. "I'll be back to pick you up later baby, but we have a crap load of stuff to do in the next few weeks and I wanna get a head start." I hated like fuck lying to her, but I didn't want her worrying I didn't want her even thinking about this guy ever again if I could help it.
‘Be a good girl for me until I get back okay?" At least she had no clue what was on my mind when I left and that's just the way I wanted it.
Why do these fuckers never look the part? I was looking through the file Jace had on Carl Haney since the cops seemed to have their thumbs up their ass. Poor Jace almost lost a limb when he tried to convince me to let him handle it. As far as I can tell his hands were tied, there was only so much he could do on her word alone; for me that's all that was needed.
I hated like hell that I had to leave her while I took care of this, but it was important that I get to this guy before he got near her, besides she was safe at the judge's office and she had strict orders not to leave until I come to pick her up.
Her ring wasn't going to be ready for another few days and I'd had to pay out the ass to get it back that quickly. I'd also had a contract drawn up blocking him or anyone who worked for him from ever mentioning that I had a tag in my wife's ring. The fucking nosy ass rags would just love to get wind of that shit.
I stared at his face for a long time. That night in the bar I hadn't really paid attention, but now I took my time and studied him. No wonder he was stalking women ugly fuck. He looked like the average Joe there was nothing even remotely discernible about him, nothing that stood out until you looked at the eyes. Cold, hard, almost dead!
I rifled through the papers I'd bullied Jace into giving me. I pretty much wasn't interested in whether or not it was legal and I'm sure my girl would use that lawyer brain of hers to shame me into some kind of remorse, but I honestly didn't give a fuck. Her life was more important and like I said, I was more interested in keeping her safe than following the law. Jace is the one who went that route not me let him worry about that shit.
I was finally able to read what she'd told Jace that day on the phone. My blood went cold as I read her words. Maybe it was because I'd started reading up on this shit since meeting her and had read the horror stories, but this shit seemed much worse than what she'd led me to believe.
He'd called her more than thirty times in one night and this had gone on for eleven days straight. She'd suspected that he'd been following her, had had the sensation of being watched but never saw anyone when she turned to look. Some of the shit she'd described sounded like the intro to a fucking horror flick. The more I read the more pissed off I became. I wanted to go hunt this fucker down and choke the living fuck out of him. But Jace had said they had no idea where he was and he had a BOLO out.
Jace had warned me not to go anywhere near this guy or his place of residence, but I'm pretty sure he knew that's exactly where I was headed. I have no problem taking shit into my own hands, but I had to ensure her safety first.
That night we had our first tiff. As was to be expected her being female she liked to argue me to death. That was something new I was learning about her, in fact it was all new, but some of it I could do without; like her penchant for not following orders.
"Stop pouting baby I said I'll take you tomorrow night." I tied my laces and lifted my gym bag as I got up off the edge of the bed. I'd tackled her as soon as we got upstairs and did her doggie style just within the bedroom door. I'd had to damn near stifle her with my hand over her mouth. When I'd gone in too deep and hit her spot, she'd screamed the place down.
Even though my wing was private that shit had to have carried to the end of the drive, my Red headed firecracker gets loud as fuck. After I'd pounded her pussy raw and teased her ass for future play, we'd both laid on the floor fighting for air, before I'd dragged her up in my arms and took her into the shower with me. Now she was giving me shit.
Traci
The man is a tyrannical jackass. I folded my arms and faced him down. In just the last twenty-four hours I had noticed something about him. He's a pain in the ass.
"Why can't I go out with my friends? We meet once a week at least for drinks and to catch up."
"That's what the phone's for- or Facetime-or whatever else technology has blessed us with." He had the nerve to keep a straight face as he said this to me. I guess somewhere along the way I'd given him the impression that I was a malleable little airhead that he could boss around. No wonder he only dated flighty models or others of their ilk.
"Wyatt I'm going."
"No, you're not. I can't go with you I have a meet with my manager and I'll be gone for at least a couple hours. I don't want you out at night by yourself while this guy is still out there." Of course I knew that that's what was on his mind, but I wasn't about to give that ass the satisfaction of hiding away behind the walls of my new home no matter how amazing those walls may be.
"I thought you said we shouldn't let him rule our lives."
"Not the same. Now kiss me goodbye and be a good girl." Hah, not even close to happening. I turned and walked away, maybe this way he'd know I'm mad.
Wyatt
Keeping my eyes on her, I pulled my phone. "Rob, I'm going to be late tell the others." I clicked off and threw the phone on the nightstand. "Come here." She was in mid stride heading in the opposite direction in a tiff. When she didn't turn and walk back to me I went after her little spoilt ass and snatched her up.
