Chapter 1: GIDEON

I looked down from my top-floor office at the hustle and bustle down below. I felt bereft, adrift, and just downright bored. Life has become somewhat melancholy here lately. It was a hard pill to swallow for someone who's supposed to be at the top of his game. My business was going gangbusters. I had my finger on the pulse point of life, and yet here I am. My breath caught as I saw what I'd been waiting for, what has been drawing me here to my windows for the past few days.There she goes again, fuck me. Does she have any idea what she does to me? Of course, she doesn't; she hasn't a clue; she doesn't even know I exist.In her catholic school uniform, that made me want to perform all sorts of illegal acts. Well, maybe not so much illegal. She looked to be at least seventeen or eighteen; sixteen is legal in this state.So what if I'm twenty-six years old? Legal is legal; still, I've been fighting myself, trying to be good. That's not my forte.I'd seen her for the first time

Chapter 2: GIDEON

Two things pissed me the fuck off about that, one was her tone, and two was the implication. I understood her feelings of rejection, but I'm sure she'd feel a hell of a lot worst if I fucked her while imagining someone else.We'd been fucking each other exclusively for the past two years, but she knew better. She knew I didn't harbor those feelings for her. I never once pretended to. She was just as free as I to move on at any time; that was the understanding we had."First of all, we don't have that type of relationship, so it wouldn't be construed as cheating. Second of all, that's not who I am, but there has been a change of late, which I had planned to discuss with you later on tonight...""Look, just tell me whatever it is you have to say. I'm a big girl. I can take it." So you say, but I know better. The pristine Ms. Halston who's ever vaunted in the gossip rags as the epitome of social grace can throw a temper tantrum like none I'd ever seen. Of course, with me, she's a

Chapter 3: Ashley

Every day I wished to see him again, the guy with the crazy hair but to no avail, only that one time and then nothing since then. He had the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen; even from a distance, I'd seen the lightness of them. I've dreamt of him every night since that first day. Just one glance, and he had captured me. I walk slower when I reach the place where I'd got that first glimpse of him. My heart races every time as I wonder if today will be the day. I know it's just a silly little girl's dream, something that will never be, but it's the only light in my otherwise bleak world. I want to cry when I don't see him, but I'm stronger than that, so I hold back the tears. Maybe one day I'll see him from afar, and I can relive the joy of the moment as I do now. I sometimes feel a prickling sensation just when I reach this very spot, but I know I'm just being fanciful. Things like that don't happen in real life, and they certainly don't happen to girls like me.I pushed aside

Chapter 4: GIDEON

There was a lot of planning to be done; according to what I find out today, my life is about to change drastically. Like I said, I'm not accustomed to being the hunter; I never needed to be. And the fact that she was so young, well that changed things; there will have to be provisions made. I didn't want to cast her as just another one of my acquisitions. Somehow I knew she would be more than that, how much more is left to be seen.Gage has finally arrived with his news. I had him leave me the packet with everything he found on my desk. I wanted to peruse alone at my own leisure. My heart raced with excitement at what I would find there. It really didn't matter, though. I'd already made up my mind; even if I had to wait to have her under me, I will take ownership very soon. There's no way I could wait another year or two to approach her.I have no idea what my head of security thinks is the reason for my sudden interest in the life of a teenage girl. I'm not in the habit of explain

Chapter 5: Gideon

Another day has gone by since I first laid eyes on her. I've finally decided on my point of attack.I've learned through the daily reports of the men I have guarding her that she has a routine. Every day on her lunch break, she likes to sit alone under a tree a little off school grounds. Perfect, I'm not sure what the protocol is for strange men traipsing across schoolyards, but I'm pretty sure it can't be good.I can't put it off any longer. I haven't slept in days, and work has lost its appeal. It's as if she's the sun in my dark, dreary world. One I didn't realize was becoming dull and ascetic until seeing her across the way that day weeks ago. I've been living for those few glimpses of her in the mornings, like a lovesick puppy. Not a good look for a hard-nosed business tycoon who rules everything around him. Today is the day; I can't believe I'm nervous. Fuck. I haven't been this nervous over a woman in....never.I made sure to dress down today; by that, I mean no suit and ti

Chapter 6: GIDEON

She shook her head no as where before I was silently begging her to look at me. I wanted to beg her to look away. I was about to embarrass myself. Either that or kiss the fuck out of her, which I'm sure would probably scare her half to death. "Let's just say I saw you one day, and something about you captured my attention. I don't believe in beating around the bush. I had your background investigated. I know how old you are. I know your father is a cop in the little town where you two live. I know you don't have many extracurricular activities outside of school, though I don't know why seeing as you're a teenager. But most importantly, I know that I want you."Her eyes widened as she looked around."You have nothing to fear from me, well, not physically anyway. Very soon, we'll sit down together, and I'll lay out what's going to happen between us for you; just know, for now, all I want is for us to get to know each other.""Uhm, I don't know." She was understandably nervous, but

Chapter 7: GIDEON

Her father answered the door on the second knock. He looked about the same as his picture, which I'd had my security snap while they were doing a background check on him. I liked knowing who I'm dealing with, and since he was not only the law in this town but the father of the young woman, I meant to claim I needed to know as much as I possibly could. It's a good thing I had, but a picture was one thing, seeing the man in the flesh quite another. I called on all the etiquette-training mom had tried to drill into me as a youth not to do what I so badly wanted. I had to think of my little Blossom."Yes, can I help you?" Clifton Sanders was a forty-five-year-old fit, attractive male who took good care of himself. All of that was obvious at my first cursory glance. He didn't look like the friendliest of people, though, if the look on his face was any indication. Before the day was over, I was sure to put a frown on his already scowling face; I was afraid."Mr. Sanders, the name's Gideo

Chapter 8: GIDEON

For the next three months, I will court Ashley. I promise you that I will be a complete gentleman during that time. Nothing about her life needs change, except now I will be a big part of it. She will go to school as usual.""On school nights, I will have her home by ten, on the weekends, maybe midnight. She will no longer be taking the bus to and from school. I will pick her up in the mornings and have her driven home in the afternoons if I'm too busy at work. Sometimes I will have her sit with me in my office after school; she can do her homework there." I let that settle in for a bit, and when all he did was stared, I carried on."That's about it for now.""And if I don't agree?""Oh, Cliff, you do not want to play hardball with me. There're so many things to choose from, where should I start? Should I start with the alienation of your daughter by letting her in on some of your more hostile feelings towards her? You really should be careful what you say when out drinking with th

Chapter 9: GIDEON

At lunchtime, I made my excuses and headed for her tree. Today I will be bringing her lunch. I didn't even want to think about why she hadn't been eating anything the last time I saw her. If I found out his neglect went farther than just being careless with her feelings, like he was abusing her in any way, I will put a fucking hurting on him, the likes of which this town has never seen. I clenched my fists at the thought of her being hurt. Put it away, Gideon, don't go borrowing trouble.I watched her for a few seconds before exiting the car, so beautiful, so innocent. It was amazing that she could be this, after dealing with what she must've been dealing with behind closed doors her whole life.She looked around as if sensing my eyes on her, and it made me smile. Yes, I wanted her as attuned to me as I was becoming to her.I climbed out of the car after telling my driver to stay seated. In my hands were her lunch and a bunch of flowers. They were a chaotic blend of beauty in shap

Chapter 10: GIDEON

I spent the time between leaving her and the end of the school day pondering my next move. If I'd thought for one second that she was ignorant to her father's true feelings towards her, I would be able to leave her there, but the knowledge in her eyes was my deciding factor.It felt as if I was walking a minefield. I knew without a doubt that my Blossom would be the kind of girl who wanted the love of her father. She wouldn't want to just walk away from him and everything she'd known, so how do I come between the two of them without losing her in the process? How do I get her to see the danger without becoming the enemy in her eyes?I'd started out wanting her body, yes; it was her beauty after all that had first captivated me. But there was something else there. That softness of hers was drawing me in. That sweet air of vulnerability had me wanting to wrap her up and keep her safe for always. This was more than lust; this was so much more than anything I'd ever done before. I'd ne
