Chapter 55

Chance

It's been a week since Abby came home from the clutches of that stranger she was forced to kill. Austin and I spoke and agreed that it was best that I stuck around for Abby. Not only for protection but because she desperately needed to be around someone.

Bone came home two days after Abby was home and since then, I have been keeping my distance. Abby was tempting while watching over her. Her small smiles and light whispers made me hard around every corner, but I knew I couldn't act on any of the fantasies I jerked off to in the shower each morning. Abby was the kind of beauty that never saw it for herself. Her confidence was there, but not enough to see herself as sexy. I wanted to change all that, and had I been any other man, I would have. But she deserved more, deserved better. As much as it fuckin' pains me to admit that, I know it's the truth.
