Chapter 4: CREED

"You make another fucking sound and you're done." I added enough pressure to let her know how easy it would be to carry out that threat, before pushing her ass back against the wall next to the door with my hand still holding her pinned in place.

I heard babygirl moving around upstairs and hoped she stayed put until I was finished doing what I had to do.

"Dee whose hog...?" The fucker didn't get another word out because I dropped one prey for another. I flung her aside like the garbage she was and grabbed him with my other arm before slamming my fist into his gut.

Her screams were annoying the fuck outta me only because I knew my girl would hear them and come running, she hated for me to be in danger. I used what time I had left to pulverize his kidneys before letting him fall like a rotted sack of potatoes.

"You're lucky she's upstairs or I would end you. Not to worry though, I'll be back you sick fuck, and next time I'll finish what I started." I moved away from him just as she came down the stairs.

"You ready? Lets go."

"Are you...?" Her eyes were wide with fright as she searched me for damage.

"No babygirl I'm fine we have to go." I tried blocking her view of the two people who were still trying to make it up off the floor, as I took her little backpack and threw it over my shoulder.

"Let's go baby we're done here." I led her outside and to my ride before turning to the other that was now sitting there. I used my boots and the Spurs on my heels to destroy the shit.

Only real men should ride, assholes like this piece a shit who owned this, gave the rest of us a bad name. I did as much damage as I could before drawing my bowie and slicing the tires to ribbons.

She didn't say a word but she was watching my every move, wringing her hands and looking worried. "Stop that baby I'm here now, no more fear." I could only hope that it's that fucking easy.

I fitted her helmet on her head and made sure it was straight before zipping up the lightweight jacket she had on. I could feel her body trembling slightly as I helped her on the back of my ride, so I reminded her again.

"You're safe now, stop worrying." I didn't have time to reassure her more than that; that will come later. I walked away a few feet and pulled my phone. There was one last thing I had to do before this fuck took matters into his own hands on my behalf.

"Law, I've got my girl, thanks for the heads up brother."

"You end that fuck?"

"Couldn't, not in front of babygirl. By the way, you never told me how you came to know about this shit." Not that I was surprised, Law knew pretty much everything that was going on in his town these days.

"Brand's woman dropped the word in his ear. Seems your girl almost let it slip a time or two in the last couple of months. After she got settled in here she figured we were into helping damsels in distress or some fuck."

"She's not too far off on that one brother, I owe you one."

"You want me to take care of it for you since your hands are tied? My prey went into hiding and I'm bored as fuck."

"Nah brother, this one's mine, I'll catch you later."

It was a given I'd be back this way soon. Law had kept me and pretty much everyone else out of his troubles because it was his blood to shed, but after doing me a solid like this there was no way he wasn't getting my help.

I hung up and got on my ride because I wanted her away from this fucked up place as soon as possible. "Hold on tight babygirl."

We rode out with her little arms wrapped securely around me and I felt at ease for the first time in a very long while. At last I had what was mine, it felt like the best fucking thing to happen to me in my whole damn life, having her wrapped around me as we headed for home.

***

There was a lot of teeth gritting going on-on the ride back I'll tell you that. Especially when I thought of the fact that we were gonna have to stop somewhere for the night. I hadn't factored in that little dilemma when I'd headed out earlier.

There was no thought of getting separate rooms though. My baby had never spent the night alone in her life and I knew with everything that had been going on she had to be scared. No way was I leaving her alone in a strange hotel room.

I bypassed a few low-end travel lodges and motels until I came upon a halfway decent mid size hotel. "We'll stay here for tonight and head home in the morning." I hopped off and helped her short ass down to stand in front of me. How could I have forgotten how tiny she is?

My dick started his shit and for the first time I didn't try to quiet him down. He knew the time was fast approaching when I wouldn't be harnessing him, wouldn't try to stop him from breaking out of the gate to get to her.

"Home?" Her voice sounded hopeful as fuck. I looked down at her in the moonlight and prayed for patience. "My place, Wyoming."

I'd forgotten that she'd never been there, never seen me in my natural habitat. The look of uncertainty on her face made my gut hurt. Has she lost faith in me? It hurt to even think that shit, even though it was just what I deserved.

I was about to broach the subject but she beat me to it. Good thing too because I wasn't sure that I would be able to give her the time to get that shit back. In three days give or take a few hours she was on my dick.

"Creed, am I staying with you now or...?" I knew what she was going to ask before she said it. "You don't ever have to go back there not ever." Her whole body relaxed and made me doubly glad that I had taken her out of there.

I wasn't going to ask her about the report I'd received tonight, but tomorrow I was going to get to the bottom of it. it was enough that she was out of it now, that she was safe with me.

The fact that she relaxed against me told me that I hadn't lost her, and she didn't look too torn up at the prospect of living with me. In fact she looked downright joyful. Granted she didn't know that she was going to be in my bed before the week was out, she'd find out soon enough.

I checked us in and took her up to the room, where there were two queen- size beds. I dropped my gear on the one closest to the door and waited for her to move away from the doorway. I wasn't gonna be able to deal with her being afraid of me, fuck that. She needed to know that with me, she was the safest she'd ever be.

Life with me wasn't going to be a bed of roses that's for sure. I'm a hard fuck in more ways than one, but she never had anything to fear from me. Unless she lost her fucking mind and laid with someone else. But it was up to me to see that that shit didn't happen either so she was safe.
