All Chapters of Fated To Love You: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

 Colin put his arms around her waist and, in one motion,swept her beside him. Their outer thighs touched and he felt the same trill she did based on her reaction to the contact.   "He was all I had growing up and he did the best he could", she said, and her voice held less sorrow now. "Without him,I was afraid of being alone.   "You had me,My family", he said in a low voice. He understood not being able to turn her back on her father. Colin was even more grateful for his own parents in comparison. "I know. But how could I turn to you?". She asked.    "We were building a life together, Melissa" he said.  "You don't think I would've understood about your father? Helped him?"    "Please don't be upset. I was embarrassed . I was marrying you. Your family is perfect. They have principals and do the right thing for ot

WHETHER HE LIKED it or not,Colin had a shadow. Based on the wat he stopped every once in a while to pull her into an embrace or plant a sweet kiss on her lips, Melissa didn't think he minded.   Her heart wanted to believe that what was happening between then was real again,that it was something they could build on. "You should probably try to get some rest before my brothers arrive", he said. "There's no telling when Richard will show now that my brothers have our out word".   "What about law enforcement?" She asked. "We'll get all that information when my brothers arrive,which should be soon", he said.  "It makes me nervous that we haven't been able to make contact with them", she said. "They won't find if it's not safe", colin said, setting up a sleeping bag and a rifle in the woods near the campsite. He'd located a spot below the campfire an

" I REMEMBER THIS PLACE", Joshua said to Colin as he studied the area from the center point, the fire pit.   "We were kids the last time we were here", Colin said. "Not too much has changed". Colin hadn't been sure what kind of reaction Melissa would get from his brothers and was grateful they'd welcomed her with open arms. He had a lot of catching up to do with them. Hell,first he needed to figure out his and Melissa's relationship for himself. All he knew was that he wanted her in his life. The details of what that meant would have to come later.    "That's a good thing", Joshua said. "We don't have much sun left. I'll want to walk the perimeter before it gets dark".   "Someone followed us most of the way here. We let him believe we didn't know". Austin said. "Lost him as we got close by cutting through Denver.    Joshua had worked for Denver PD be

SO, rather than risk leaving her vulnerable he would go along with the plan he and his brothers had developed last night. He would stay the course. The plan they'd come up with was the best they had to work with under the circumstances. Austin had set up in an adjacent cabin with his attention directed towards the decoy boy cabin. He was visible enough that Rancic night believe he was there to protect Melissa. Colin's job was to set up at the rifle/sleeping bag location and Tyler was situated under the outdoor pavilion. Again,his attention was set to the cabin.   Inside,they'd stuffed blankets on a lower bunk in the corner of the room to make it look like the shape of a woman. In reality,the only woman on the campus was in the souvenir shop ticked behind the counter sleeping. If she could wake and this whole ordeal be over without a scratch on anyone he loved,Colin wouldn't complain. Enough time had most likely passed for Rancic to have

 Richard made to knock Colin off him. Colin fisted his hand and belted Richard. His jaw snapped right and he spit blood.   Colin could hear footsteps thundering from behind and voices that he recongnized as his brothers'. He listened for the sweet sounds of Melissa's voice and tensed when he didn't hear it. He refused to give Rancic the satisfaction of seeing his fear. "You're about to be arrested and face your crimes. Know this. If you or anyone you know ever messes with my family again from either side of the bare that you're about to send a very long time getting to know,there won't be place in Earth you can hide from me". Colin said through clenched teeth.   Richard sneered. "We'll see about that". It took pretty much everything Colin had inside him at that moment not to out his hands around that my men's neck a d choke the life out of him for what he'd done to Melissa.
