Unable to relax, apprehension spins in my stomach.
Chapter 12
Renzo
After concluding the deal with the Mexicans, I find myself watching Skylar Davies twenty-four-seven.
The other day, when I got close to her at the store, I could feel the fear vibrating from her.
She’s aware I’m watching her, and even at home, she’s constantly on guard and glancing around as if she expects me to creep out of the shadows.
I’m not going to lie. I’m enjoying this little game of cat and mouse way too fucking much.
Sitting on the other side of the restaurant, where Skylar and her father are enjoying dinner, the corner of my mouth lifts as I stare at her.
Topolina.
Calling her ‘little mouse’ seems fitting. Just like a cat, I’ll play with her before biting off her fucking head.
I watch as she smiles at her father and says something before she gets up and walks to the back of the restaurant, where the restroom is.
I wait a few seconds before I climb to my feet and follow her. I glance around to make sure no one’s paying attention to me before I slip into the restroom.
Finding the switch for the lights, I flick it off, plunging the room into darkness.
“Crap,” I hear her mutter. It takes another few seconds before the stall door creeks open. “I can’t see a freaking thing.”
Standing right by the exit, she’ll have to pass me to get out of the restroom, and I don’t have to wait long.
I hear her cautiously moving closer, and suddenly, her hand brushes my chest. She must have her arms stretched out in front of her so she doesn’t walk face-first into a wall.
A peep escapes her, making her sound just like the mouse she is.
Before she can pull away, I step forward, and as I wrap my arm around her neck, I move in behind her until her back is pressed to my chest.
“Oh my God,” she whisper-shrieks.
My mouth finds her ear, then I growl, “Are you scared yet,topolina?”
She nods frantically. “Y-Y-Yes.”
“Good.” The word is nothing more than a threatening growl from deep in my chest.
I smell the soft vanilla scent drifting from her and feel how she trembles.
“Don’t hurt me.” Her voice is soft, quivering with fear. When I keep quiet, she asks, “Why are you doing this?”
My lips brush against the sensitive skin beneath her ear, and a hard shiver wracks through her body.
“You have something that belongs to me.”
Not wanting to be caught in the restroom and figuring I’ve sufficiently scared the shit out of her, I let go. Stealthily moving around her, I open the door and leave her rattled in the dark.
Stopping by my table, I toss a few bills on the white cloth to settle the bill before I get my ass out of the restaurant. As I walk through the door, I glance back, but there’s no sign of Skylar, who must still be shitting herself in the restroom.
“I’ll see you soon,topolina.”
It’s time to implement the next stage of my plan.
