The Mafia Princess And Her Bodyguard

Chapter 21 Facing Reality



As I slowly open my eyes, I am immediately struck by a pounding headache, and fuck does it hurt like a bitch. But that is not my concern, my concern is Trinity, and as I look over to her, I am so fucking relieved that she is still there. Though still there how I do not now. So I abandon my seat in an instant and rush over to her side, as I open her door her limp body falls out from the seat. My heart stops and I cannot fucking breathe. Fuck Trinity!

I can only utter two words as I pull her from the car and gently lay her body on the ground. It is goddamn terrifying seeing the cuts on her forehead where she hit the windscreen. She was not wearing her goddamn seatbelt even after I ask her to. What did she say, 'It is too tight,' well girl that damn dress is tight.

But now is not the time to get mad at her, but believe me once I get her awake she is getting every word from me. She will not give me such a damn fright again. Though fright is what is running through my mind as I am not able to get her to wake up.

I furiously shake her by the shoulders, then I lay my ear close to her lips.

Nothing, I do not hear her breathing.

I slam into her chest...one...two...three times.

Nothing.

"Goddam Trinity, wake up! You are not leaving me! Do you fucking understand me! Wake up!"

My voice echoes down the street, drawing the face of worried passerby's to come to assist. But there is no way that I am allowing some stranger to come near her now. I do not trust any of these damn assholes, so much to their horror, I shout at the top of my voice again.

"Back the fuck up. Phone the ambulance but don't set your damn foot near me."

And then.

One...two...three...slam.

Nothing.

"Come on Trinity, don't do this."

Then.

One...two...three...bang.

Nothing.

I furiously shake her body again. There is nothing. Trinity is not moving.

I cry out in absolute agony and drop my body down onto her chest. Even now, still, I cannot feel her chest rise and fall the way that it is supposed to. Is she truly gone from me? Have I lost her? Now after we found each other again, this has to happen? Where is the justice in love? How, how can you rip two people apart that are meant to be together?

It is not fucking fair!

Then.

I hear a loud gasp as the air fills her lungs again, it is the most beautiful noise that I have ever heard. And as I sit up to pull her into my arms, she sees a small tear running down my cheek.

"Why are you crying, Colton?"

"Because I thought I lost you."

I envelope her frail body into my arms and gently press her head against my chest, "I love you, damn woman, don't ever give me a fright like that again."

She only but chuckles at me and push her head deeper into my chest. My heart is still racing out of control, the fear of losing her suffocated me, and my god, I have never in my life felt anything so raw with pain. I care more for her than I ever even thought that I did. So yes,

I am fucked.

And saying this I know now more than ever, Vic will never allow me to be with her, for now, I have truly become her bodyguard. I am now bound to protect her life and then is nothing else that can come from it. My head needs to be clear, I was so wound up in the ecstasy of having her back that I let my eye off the ball. I should have seen them come earlier. If Trinity had to die today, it would all have been my fault. But that aside, I need to get her out of here and home. Vic is going to have my head for this.

So with her gently in my arms, and the ambulance approaching, I take my phone from my pocket and phone Mason. And thank god he is not close to Vic as I speak, "We had a hit, please send for a car."

"Shit boss, are you guys okay?"

"Yes, but it was a close one. Please don't say anything to Vic, I will go give him the good news will he chops my fingers off."

"Sure, I will send for Jax."

With that, I drop the call and show for the ambulance driver to come to look at Trinity, and thank fuck I know him.

"Only check if she is okay, no hospitals, you know the drill."

For what seems way too long he checks for any major injuries and gives her something to calm down. The only thing that is going to calm me down is a double whiskey as soon as I know that she is safely back home. Me and my idiot suggestion to take her out. Where was I going to take her?

Come on Colton! You were going to take her home. Pretending that you don't want her but you do. Well, look how this has blown up in your face. You cannot keep it in your pants for even half a damn day and then you want to bang the boss's daughter again.

But I need to focus on Trinity, so once the paramedic gives her the all-clear, we see Jax's car coming up the road. Not much is said as we change cars for he knows that I am not a person to have a conversation with right now.

So with my last instructions, "Stay here and get this towed, don't want the shit that is in her to fall into the wrong hands."

We soon find ourselves on the way back to the Stone mansion. And as I am trying to get myself to a state of mind where I can talk to Vic and not blow up, she softly lays her hand on my arm.

"Colton, stop the car."

"No, princess, we need to get you home."

"Please just stop the car."

Not wanting to fight with her after all that we have just been through I pull off onto the side of the road. With the deepest affection that I hold in my heart for her, I take her hand for I know what is about to come and god! I cannot bear to go through this again.

This is fucking killing me.

"Colton, what is going to happen now?"

"Princess, I think you know."

"Now I don't, please talk to me. Tell me the truth."

"There is no chance that your dad will ever let us be together now."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

She shakes her head, the agony of her words comes through, and just when I think the words won't kill me, then I see her crying.

"Princess, I was careless today, I should have seen it coming. But my head is so with you that I do not want to think about anybody else. I cannot let my guard down with you, you are too damn precious."

"I don't understand."

"Your dad is going to kill me if this ever happens again. I am supposed to be the best, but today I was the best of nothing. I need to protect you. I cannot protect you if I am not in the game and your father knows that. I am the only and last detail that you have left."

With that, the agony that is hiding behind her voice burst into a waterfall of tears. If I ever thought that I have not heard a woman cry, then Trinity has shown me pain that you cannot compare. It rips your heart from your chest and is slices apart. I have never felt this pain before.

Fucking never!

So I do what I am not supposed to do, but yet I still do it, for I know that this will probably be the only time that I will ever do it again.

The raw passion to feel her once last time takes over my body. I drop my gaze to her full and parted lips, I close my eyes for but a second waiting for the hesitation to come. But there is no denying as I return my eyes to her very own brown ones that are still filled with pain. With a look of heat in my eyes, so comes the lust and desire once again. It is undeniable; the chemistry is still here. I know that once I kiss her my resistance will crumble.

Without thinking of fighting it any longer, I slide my hands down her waist and shift her closer. I pull her as deep as I can into my craving body. I feel her lean her body up against mine, completely closing any gap that existed before. I begin to lay smooth kisses against the delicate skin of her neck, rendering my body ever weaker than before. I know it should not do this, I know it should not give her hope. But everything that is so wrong about it sure makes it feel damn good. After just a few delicate touches, my warm lips fall on hers like cool raindrops on a hot summer's day.

And then I pull away.

It is time to go face Vic.
