Feed Me

Peeking my head out the front door, I smile at the big softy leaning against the wall, “Hey there big guy, I’ve got a job for you.” I open the door wider for Owen to come inside.

I call him a big softy because he looks big and mean but he’s been nothing but kind to me and I may or may not have him wrapped around my little finger. Malik is the same way, though; it must be my charm.

“What do you need, my Queen?” Owen jokes as he bows before me making me laugh.

“You know that I appreciate you, right Owen?”

“Yes, Ella. I never feel overly used by you or Jace for that matter. You should see how others treat us when we work other jobs. If I could guard you the rest of my career, I’d consider it my dream job.” He grins.

| scoff, “Don’t lose hope just yet because if it keeps going the way it has been, we will never catch him.”

Yes, we will, Ella. Have faith.” He grips my shoulder until I respond with a simple nod.

“Anyway, could you please carry the laundry basket down to the laundry room for me? It’s behind the bathroom door in our room.” I ask as I grab the detergent from the utility closet.

“Of course, and you better make sure you put that alarm on before we walk out that door.” He calls over his shoulder.

Shoot! I can’t believe I forgot already, even after Jace’s reminder, and how does that man do that? It’s like he knows everything, well except who my stalker is, I smirk to myself. Heading back to my room, I grab the alarm from my nightstand, which happens to also have a vibrator, restraints and some lube sitting on top of it. Nobody ever comes in our room, so I never think to put the items away. Owen comes out at the same time I’m grabbing the alarm and notices the items right away. His face turns a pretty red and he turns his head.

Wanting to tease him to see how red he can get, I shrug, “If these embarrass you, then you probably shouldn’t go into the spare bedroom.” | wink at him as I pass, noticing him turn almost as bright as a tomato.

Reece is down doing her own laundry as Owen and I walk in, “Oh my God,” Reece shrieks, “I was literally just thinking to myself that I should stop up and see you since I haven’t seen you since before the incident.”
