Shadows In Durango

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

*****Sofia's POV*****

My cheeks remained flushed after the kiss as we drove back through the familiar gates towards Vincent's house.

"Ok listen to me... do you want to talk to Daryl when we go in?" Vincent questions, parking up the car as I instantly shake my head in defiance.

Of course I don't! Why would I want to speak to him right now? Not in this frame of mind anyway! I had already embarrassed myself enough...

"Well then just pretend to be asleep and I'll carry you in, I'll take you to the spare room and Emma can come too." Vincent offers, as I inhale a slow breath and nod in agreement with the plan.

"Vincent?" I find his name rolling off of my tongue as he eyes me, waiting for me to continue.

"What?" He presses, clicking off his belt and cutting the engine.

"Thank you... for saving me tonight." I swallow the lump in my throat, as he nods and offers me a half smile at my words.

"I told you, I don't let bad shit happen to my staff which by the way... you better not be too hungover for your shift tomorrow, I'm paying you well for two days so I expect perfection!" He winks, as I chuckle and nod at the statement. He really didn't seem that bad when he was like this...

I watch him climb out of the car on his side, before walking around to my side - opening the door.

"Sleep darling." He smirks, as I nod and close over my eyes with a giggle - feeling his arms hook under my legs and around my back to carry me.

He seems to lift me up with ease as I hope that he doesn't find me to be heavy. I nestle my head into the crook of his neck, more so to hide my face from the others staring, but I was also guiltily enjoying the scent of Vincent's aftershave coming from his tattooed neck.
