Chapter 40

Me: (begging him) It's nearing dinner time Ryan, please get me some food!

Ryan: Well, the food isn't gonna walk up to you and plead to be eaten, you have to go home for that. Anna has prepared something special. (Suddenly smirking) And you will look better begging for something else! (Winks)

Me: What's with these innuendos Ryan? Stop using these cheesy lines on me!

Ryan: Then who should I use them on? Taylor? You would die of jealousy you know...

Me: (how dare he take her name) yeah well, she is kind of a doll. So,she might be able to satisfy your horny fantasies more!

Ryan's POV

I understood the drop in her voice when she talked about Taylor. I shouldn't have taken her name. But it makes me proud, that she still cares about me and is frightened to loose me. Well, time to boost her confidence a little.

I hugged her tight and my hand moved to grab her ass. By the small jerk I knew it surprised her. I whispered in her ear, "I would take this ass home and spank it red all night rather than a flat doll" and I slapped her butt. She instantly blushed to a cute shade of pink. I held her hand and we walked to the car. I opened the door for her, she sat in with all her books in her small bag, ready to be torn due to excess weight. Teacher's and their assignments! Ugh!

She asked me to stop by her home. We drove there and she jumped out and ran towards it, like seeing an old friend after ages. I rolled down the window to ensure she was safe in the dark. She hesitated at her door and somehow went inside. I thought it was good to play some music till she comes out. But instead I heard a scream and a loud noise. My instincts kicked in and I got out of the car and ran towards the house. I entered in and found it pitch black. I turned on the lights but nothing happened. I removed my mobile flashlight n moved in slowly. I saw her sitting scared in a corner with eyes closed and hands over head, with hair all messed up. What the heck happened!

I walked near her and when she was about to scream, I held her mouth close. She began hitting me, so I caught hold of her and slowly calmed her out.

Me: It's me, Ryan. Calm down Riles. You are safe with me

Riley: (slowly opening her eyes & hugging me) There's someone in house...intruder... Before I could see him, he broke the lights. (Gasping for air)

Me: We need to get you out safe first. Come follow me.

Holding her hand and supporting her, I took her out and made her comfy in car. I rolled up windows, turned on the A.C. I gave her keys as she was on driver's seat.

Me: I am going in to check if he's still inside. If anything happens or someone knocks at the window, do not open. Hit the ignition, and drive ahead to the nearest station straight and second left. Calm down, you got this.

Riley: But Ryan...what about you? How can I leave you alone?

Me: I can handle myself and now remember what I told you. Be ready.

As I entered in, i noted the scratch on her door lock. Someone has broke in. But is this a normal one? I walked slowly inside,

 kitchen : clear, hall : clear, bathrooms : clear, Guest room: clear, bedroom: lights working fine, window broke open.

 He escaped from here. I noticed a movement in bushes. I jumped out and followed it. But the guy left. I traced back the path and saw footprints. I took out my tools from kit. I took pictures of the footprint, measured the size, collected samples and saw a black fold lying. Nice... sweat analysis. I took the data and came in. The lights were working in bedroom. I fed the data to my gadget and it was working its analysis to match the person with database. I saw all her clothes lying everywhere and her laptop was dismantled. Upon checking I found the hard drive missing. This is not a normal break in. Someone from the gang has woken up. I put back all the parts together in 2 minutes straight. Guess old habits die hard!

The gadget pinged. I saw a familiar face. A spy from the rivals! But if he found Riley, that means they know my location now. This attack has gotten her on radar. She was being followed. But how the hell is that possible. My house is off grid. Unless... she left today on her own. Damnit gurl.. 

If its still under control, Plan A can save me. But if not Plan B then. But Riley, she will get hurt. I need to be normal. I went n erased the footprint n fingerprints. And went outside to the car and asked her to call 911.

POV end.

A/N: I like this flirty side of Ryan. Makes him Mr. Sexy Higa. Wish what he said to be true? Let me know!

But a break-in? Spy shit? Is Ryan's past catching up with him? When will he confront Riley about this or he won't? But what about his wounds...he lost his family...and now Riley? Has she turned into a liability for Ryan? Will he be able to save her or she will get sacrificed as collateral damage?
