Chapter 41: You Look Sexy Tonight Angelia

I was one of the people who got easily scared of driving, being in a boat or flying even though I had never been in a plane before. I always overthought what could happen in every given scenario, like being trapped in my father's boat while it sank to the bottom. My father didn't have one of those boats that were open to the elements, he had a marine canvas with a window which meant we were inside the canvas while being on the boat

But even with how scared I usually was, there was something about Kingston's driving that just made me feel safe. Yes, he did push the pedal a little too much but even so, he e seemed to be in complete control and relaxed. The car felt cramped with him in it, like he was taking up much more space than he really did. There was tension about him, edging on dangerous and angry but I still felt safe. For some reason, I just knew he wouldn't hurt me, not know and not ever. I didn't know why I was so sure about that, especially since I had just met him. He stayed quite, which wasn't shocking and even though I wanted to get to know him better, I didn't think this was the appropriate time. What had happened since I last saw him? Was this how he usually was or was there something more going on?

Unable to keep my eyes off him, I peeked at him through lowered lashes. I didn't think I would ever get used to being this close to him, he was just so big. Everything about him speaks power and not only of the physical kind. I studied the tattoo on his neck, it was an intricate piece in black ink that crawled up his throat and encircled it in its entirety, The ink suited him as if it was always meant to fill in his skin with beautiful designs. Again, I wondered if there were more tattoos hiding beneath his clothes and what they might look like. My eyes trailed down his arms, taking in how well the suit jacket fitted around his massive arms. It

followed along to his hand resting on the clutch, more tattoos coming from beneath his sleeve. A flower that I didn't know what it was called circled around his wrist before coming to a stop on the back of his hand. It looked like it was dying and my gaze snapped towards the hand on the steering wheel, confirming what I was actually seeing.

I gasped, taking in his knuckles. They were all bruised and bloodied with dried blood from what looked like cuts that had just started to heal.

"What happened?" I asked, suddenly feeling a protectiveness I shouldn't be feeling.

He threw another annoyed look my way, this was the second

beating a mile a minute as I continued to peek at his hand when I knew he wouldn't notice. Those cuts were either from self-defense or something else had happened. The only good thing about the wounds was that I was one hundred percent sure his bad mood wasn't because of me. I was curious as hell but I wasn't one to snoop or find answers to things that didn't concern me. Although, if it had anything to do with me, I had to trust

me in.

to gather myself before walking into this meeting, I had a lot to talk to them about and I needed to stop being my usual shy self to get through this all. It wasn't like we were going to talk about the weather, no we were going to discuss my

However, my smile stayed in place as I took out my notebook and placed my jacket in his arms and I almost smirked at the surprise look on her face. One thing I also learned about those said ***hes, never let them walk all over you. Of course, it was easy
