*Edited

I opened my eyes and was met with a mop of black hair laying on my chest.

My head throbbed as I woke up slowly.

I look down at my body to see large tatted arms wrapped around me.

Landon's head was nuzzled into my neck as he slept peacefully.

The sudden urge to pee came onto me like a ton of bricks.

I tried moving Landon's arms, but he only tightened his hold.

"Landon, I need to pee," I say tiredly.

He moves off me slowly, and I quickly bolt to the bathroom.

My head only got worse at the action and I squinted my eyes in anger from the pain.

Stupid alcohol.

After doing my business and brushing my teeth, I went back out and saw Landon's large body resting against my headboard.

He rested his arm over his eyes as his legs were spread out over my bed.

I went over to the table that had water and Tylenol, I picked It up and swallowed it.

When I turned back around Landon was now sitting up watching me with his cold eyes.

I smiled at him and looked down to my feet shifting on them slightly.

"Uh, what happened last night?" I asked him nervously.

I looked up at him when I heard no answer.

His grey eyes darkened as he stood up, walking over to me.

I furrowed my eyebrows when he reached me.

He took his hand to my face and tucked a lock of hair behind my ear as he looked Into my eyes,

"What do you remember?" He asks me.

I nearly swooned at his morning voice, it was a combination of deep and husky.

This man cannot possibly get any finer than that.

I thought about it for a second before answering him.

Slowly the memories come back.

"I remember drinking and dancing, then some guy tried dancing with me but I ended up getting away. So I went to the bathroom and I remember feeling dizzy. I threw up and then called you. After that everything goes blank." I tell him honestly.

He nods slowly his face darkening.

"Who was the boy?" He asks me placing a hand on my cheek, tracing his thumb along my cheekbone.

I zone out while looking in his eyes, the feeling of his touch distracting me.

He raises an eyebrow at me and I blush in embarrassment.

"Um I'm not sure, I've never seen him before. He had blonde hair and brown eyes."

He stares at me emotionlessly and nods again.

He then moves away from me and walks to the bed and sits down.

He looks over at me and then looks to the spot next to him.

"Sit." He demands.

I slowly walk over and sit next to him.

I look up at him confused.

"Someone drugged you last night." He says looking me in the eyes as his body visibly tenses.

I look up at him shocked.

What the fuc-

My thoughts get cut off when he continues.

"Brayden tried to take advantage of you."

My eyes widen and my mind goes blank.

I feel my heartbeat increase, and my palms get sweaty.

I look up at him as my eyes water.

I blink back the tears as my hands shake slightly.

"W-What ?" I say shakily.

His emotionless grey eyes soften slightly and he takes his hands in mine.

"Last night, when I arrived he was all over you, touching you." He says quietly his voice darkening at the last part.

I shake my head not believing what he was saying.

"Why I-I don't- why would he do that to me," I say as tears fall from my eyes.

"He's always been a close friend. I can't-

I continue to say but stop as sobs start coming out of my mouth.

Landon's arms wrap around me protectively as he lifts me to his chest.

I cry in his arms, his hand rubbing my back soothingly.

Once my crying stops I keep my head on his chest.

"I'm sorry." I apologise to him for seeing his now wet shirt.

He leans his head to my ear, his warm breath sending me chills.

"Don't apologise, love." His deep voice whispers into my ear.

I tilt my head up to look at him.

His grey eyes go to my own green ones, he stares at me emotionlessly.

He licks his lips and speaks,

"He's gone." He says blankly.

I stare at him in shock.

"You killed him," I say more to myself than to him.

He nods his head slowly watching my every move.

I stare at the floor not knowing what to say.

"Layla." His deep voice bringing me out of my daze.

I look up at him with concern.

"What's wrong?" He asks me.

I stare at him then sigh shaking my head in the process.

"Nothing, don't worry." I say looking down at my hands.

His hand comes to my chin and lifts my head firmly.

His eyes pierce into mine as he speaks.

"Tell me." He says demandingly.

"Murdering shouldn't be the only option, Landon." I say looking at him sternly.

"I could have put him behind bars. You shouldn't kill everyone who tries to hurt me, you could get into trouble."

He looks down at me emotionlessly, a glint shining in his silver eyes.

"He wouldn't have gone to prison. His family's too powerful. His parents would have gotten him out of the situation in no time." He tells me.

I furrow my eyebrows.

"Layla, this is my lifestyle. I kill. I'm not a good person and never will be." He says looking into my eyes intensely.

"No matter what you tell me, anyone who even lays a hand on you, I will kill without hesitating."

His hand goes from my chin to my neck.

He traces his fingertips along my collar bone, sending me butterflies coursing through my body.

His head leans down to my neck as he places soft kisses against it.

Heat courses through my body as I feel my panties dampen.

His plush lips press against my neck, kissing me all around as his hot breath fans my skin.

"You're so beautiful, Layla." He whispers huskily against my skin.

His lips kiss my jaw, cheek and then the corner of my lip.

His grey eyes stare at my lips before he gently places them on mine.

His lips push against mine slowly, my breath hitches at the gentleness and the number of sparks flowing through my body.

He kisses me slowly as I don't make a move to kiss him back his hand trails down to my bottom and squeezes it.

This pulls me out of my daze and I kiss him back just as softly.

I move my hands around his neck, deepening the kiss

His lips move against mine savouring my lips possessively.

His soft lips move against my own as his hands lay on my waist.

He pulls away and leans his forehead against mine and stares into my eyes.

A small smile comes onto my lips as he stares at me emotionlessly.

He looks down at my lips again and pecks my bottom lip before standing up.

I follow his movements as he starts to speak.

"I have to leave." He tells me.

I nod my head and open my bedroom door.

He comes behind me as I start to walk downstairs.

"Layla is that you?" I hear my dad call out.

I stop dead in my tracks as my heart stops.

Fuck

God out of all times to be home!!

Why me.

I quickly look behind me and see Landon looking down at me blankly.

I quickly push him back up the stairs with my hands.

"Layla?" He calls out again as I can hear him getting closer.

"Fuck," I mumble under my breath as I push Landon into my room.

He looks down at me with an amused glint in his eyes.

"Stay here." I say to him then slam my door closed.

I walk downstairs with sweaty palms and see my dad come into view.

"Hey, dad." I say a little too loudly while giving him a quick hug.

"Hey, kiddo." He replies ruffling my hair.

"What's going on?" He asks me looking down at me curiously.

"Erm, nothing why," I answer him shifting on my feet.

He shrugs but eyes me suspiciously.

"When did you guys get home?" I ask him to switch the topic.

"This morning around 5." He answers as he pulls out his ringing phone.

"I gotta take this." He says and kisses my head before he takes off into his office.

I sigh in relief and quickly run back upstairs.

I open the door and shut it quickly.

I see Landon sitting on my bed with his phone in his hand.

He looks up from his phone and looks at me with emotionless eyes.

"Your gonna have to leave out the window." I tell him sheepishly.

He rolls his eyes but nods.

I go over to the window and open it.

He comes up behind me and I turn around to face him.

"What are you doing later?" He asks me as he looks down at his watch.

"I've got practice again," I answer him.

He nods.

"I'll pick you up." He says leaving no room for me to argue.

I just nod in return.

We stand there just staring at each other but then he reaches down to my cheek and kisses it.

I smile up at him as he pulls away.

He looks down at me blankly and then taps his cheek once with his finger, silently asking me to kiss his cheek.

I lean up to his face as he reaches down slightly so I could reach his cheek.

I push my lips against his skin and pull away.

He pats my hip and nods at me once as he turns to the window.

I watch as he leaves through the window skilfully and walks his way over his car.

Before he gets in, his piercing grey eyes look into mine for a moment, then he pulls them away opening his car door, getting into the car and drove away.

I walk away from the window and plop down on my bed sighing with only one thing on my mind.

Him.
