Save Me (Taken Series Book 1) (18 page)

What was hard was trying to follow Sierra around and learning all I could about her without looking like a stalker. I was at all her performances for cheerleading such as the sports games they cheered at and the competitions they performed in but I was a chaperone making it easy to stay close to her. Just being there though was difficult in the fact that I was surrounded by girls who vied for my attention. There was no way I could get close to just Sierra when everyone else wanted a piece of me too. Even so, I tried to let her know she could come to me for any problems or questions which she almost never did.

I knew her though. I had to or else it wouldn’t have been so easy to capture her. I knew when she woke up in the mornings and her routine on getting ready or when she left for school and how she liked her coffee. Her classes and teachers were easy to figure out because they were always the same. The practices for cheer were on the same days and times every week and anything else that she did I followed close behind remaining unseen. I knew who her closest friends were and who she asked for advice from. I also knew her usual hang out spots when she wasn’t doing extracurricular activities for school.

With all the trailing behind Sierra, I also became aware of the small things. Things like how she always bites her lip when she’s thinking, furrows her brow as she concentrates, and is almost never unhappy. Her laugh is light and sweet and there is always a smile on her face. There isn’t a single student that thinks badly of her because she is kind to everyone and trying to be helpful to any who needed it. She’s smart and mature beyond a normal high school girl with little to no drama in her life. She is beyond her years yet still so young. 

I also started to notice the curves of her body as she started to wear tighter jeans and smaller shirts making her assets stick out more profoundly. The day I noticed how luscious her curves became was the day I decided she was to be mine. I knew she could love the monster inside me. She would understand when I tell her what I really am here for and she would still love me regardless. She’s a compassionate, caring person and there isn’t a single thing in the world that would make her act anything less towards someone in my position. That’s how I knew she was for me.

From that day forward I planned out how I would make her mine. I didn’t care if ‘the boss’ wanted her for himself. I didn’t care that she was his to begin with because he didn’t know her like I did. He wouldn’t understand what she needed, what she wanted. Only I did. I made plans to take her and keep her for myself and get rid of my boss. There was no other way around it. If I don’t kill him he will come after us so we will always be on the run. I will not allow that to happen. She needs stability and I am going to give it to her.

              The day I brought Sierra back to the warehouse I knew I made the right decision. I was smart about it. I let my boss know that our plan was going to happen. I was to take her to the warehouse until he said otherwise and then we would move her to a safe location until he could come claim her. He needed to wait for the search to die down some before we could take her back to him. What he didn’t know is that when he would come to claim her I would kill him and make it look like an accident because there is no way he was leaving with her.

              Nobody would know that it was me who took her because the house I was to move her to is just a few hours away and listed under a fake name. Only my boss and I know of the location. Not even his second in command knows of it and nobody knows I am even connected to the boss or the sale of girls. They won’t find me or Sierra and one day she will thank me for what I did for her. She will forgive me and we will forever be happy.

Our second in command is the only one besides the boss who knows me and I doubt he would say anything. If the boss is out of the way then he would get control over everything. When our buyers or sellers want to get ahold of someone it’s a guy named Taylor ‘Tank’ James that they call. He’s from the underground fighting ring and a friend of mine since coming into this business. I was recruited when I was in high school and helped bring our business up fast. With me being in the mix of all the students I was able to bring a lot of business in. I met Tank because my boss found him in the fighting ring and offered him a lot of money to help him find more buyers. He has contacts everywhere which is why he is such a big asset to the boss. If the boss is dead, he would do great things with the business and be rich as fuck.

How did I come to meet my boss you ask? Well he is actually my uncle but since I’ve changed my name nobody could connect us. So I guess technically this is a family business but even with him being family I would still kill him for Sierra.

I’ve helped him find girls even after high school by immersing myself in the high schools with fake credentials all over the state. When I came here it was because he asked me to get closer to a girl he wanted to get for himself but he needed my help. I don’t mind. She’s not the first girl I’ve had to monitor for him. She’s just the first girl that has caught my eye since joining this business. Sure I get my fair share of women who I fuck but that’s all they were good for. I take what I want from them and move on. There has never been one that was worth another look until Sierra.

When my uncle explained how he came about finding her I wasn’t really surprised. When he found a kid who fought against the best and won, he wanted to keep a close eye on him and see if he could help our business. He learned quickly that this kid was not going to help him the way he had hoped. This kid was a good kid who was dealt a shitty life and had anger issues. Even though he fought and beat everyone near and far he was a good man at heart. He wasn’t ruthless like most other fighters tried to be but he was the best, just not the best for this business.

From what I was told, he asked the kid to listen in on conversations to see what he could find out about the local sex trafficking ring. It was his way to keep the kid busy and to find out if anyone has figured out who the identity of the boss is. Of course the boss is him so if anyone found out he ran it then his career would be over as a cop. For him, being a cop gave him a way to hide in plain sight and to make any information disappear that would lead the law to him.

After he watched this kid he noticed a girl hanging around him all the time except for at his fights. She intrigued him and the more he saw her the more he wanted her. It was a lot like how I fell for her. So he asked me to come to her high school and find out everything I could about her before we took her. Now she’s with me at my safe house all to myself. It seemed like a long time coming but she’s here. Nobody can find her and nobody will take her from me.

When first taking her and having her in that cell in the warehouse was torture but it had to be done. It was practically sound proof and only three of us had the key to get into the office where her cell was located. My uncle, Tank, and I were also the only ones to know about her being there. I didn’t worry about anyone finding her but having her in there made me feel like I was some sort of crazed kidnapper ready to murder. I’m not crazed and soon she will realize I didn’t kidnap her. She will realize I brought her home. It may take some time for her to come to that conclusion but when she does I know I can make her happy. She will never want to leave me and she will fall in love with me like I have her.

When it was time to move her to this house, my uncle told me I needed to take her to the whore house first where the other girls are held, waiting to be sold. He needed me to talk to some clients before I left town and I needed her to be out of the warehouse while the fights went on. He thought that Forrest kid was going to break in to the office that night and he wanted her somewhere that he couldn’t find her. I should have just left with her then instead of going through all the bullshit afterwards.

Who knew the boy was smart and would find her at the whore house and take her from me? I was livid. I never thought that I would lose her to that little shit. I was ready to kill him. When I called my uncle to tell him what happened he said to wait a little while because he would be getting a call with her location.

So I waited impatiently for his call and once I received it there was no way I wasn’t going to go get her but my uncle had other plans. He wanted me to wait until he picked her up. He said he was going to kill Forrest and take Sierra pretending to save her and bring her to this house where I was supposed to wait. Then he would tell the squad that the kidnapper must have followed Forrest and killed him taking Sierra with him.

That was just bullshit. I wasn’t going to let him touch her or have her in his possession for any amount of time if I could help it. Who knows what kind of things he would do to her in that time so I followed him instead. I parked my car behind his after he went inside and then got out myself and walked to the door. As I heard a shot ring out I stopped myself from going in and waited to see what happened next. If someone was dead I wanted to make sure who it was that still lived. Then there was another and then a third and I didn’t wait to figure it out this time. I was going in and killing whoever got in my way.

When I walked in and saw my uncle on the floor I saw red. Not because someone shot him. I would congratulate the bastard and pat him on the back. No. I was pissed because he wasn’t dead. I had hoped that maybe the two killed each other but I see that hadn’t happened. Though I do believe the shot was a fatal wound hitting an artery based on how much blood he was sitting in and where it had hit in the abdomen.

He was surprised when I burst through the door but didn’t say anything about me being there. He must have realized there was no way I wasn’t getting in on the action and he was right. Although I don’t believe he realized my intent was to kill him.

“What the fuck? Why didn’t you fucking tell me to come with you for back-up? Were you trying to fuck things up for me?” I couldn’t contain my fury at being left out of this rescue mission.

“For you? You can’t be here. You could get me caught. It’s supposed to look like the kidnapper found them and killed him.”

“Well how the fuck do you explain you being shot? Hmm? They are going to want to know why you’re here and why you were shot.” I see out of the corner of my eye that the kid who took Sierra from me has been shot twice and is on the floor bleeding and sitting in a pool of his own blood also.

“I’ll just tell them that I tried to stop the kidnapper but got shot and couldn’t save her.” Sure that will work. I’ve seen these cop shows before. Their forensics will point out that Forrest shot him with his own gun. How the fuck is he going to explain that? I don’t say this though because he probably already knows that. Instead I go over to the kid and shoot him in the head before he shoots me.

The kid was barely alive as it was and still tried to be the hero by aiming his gun at me. I wasn’t going down by a half dead kid though. No way. If I go down it’s going to be like in the movie Scarface where he’s high as fuck and going down in a blaze of glory. ‘Say hello to my little friend’ as I shoot up the place killing everyone and everything around me until I get taken down.

I walk by my uncle and head straight back to the room where I heard Sierra screaming. She probably thinks I’m here to kill her but I’m not. I’m here to save her and take her away from this place of insanity.

Trying to get her to cooperate though was difficult. I ended up having to hit her and tie her up. It reminded me of when she tried to escape at the warehouse. I couldn’t let her. She belongs with me but she still needs to figure that out. In the warehouse I felt bad for hurting her but it had to be done. She’ll understand that soon enough.

After finally tying her up I throw her over my shoulder and head out. She screams the whole way for Forrest and I want so badly to tell her he’s not coming that I killed him but she’ll see soon enough. Instead I stop where my uncle is for just a moment to say my goodbyes as I hear the sirens blaring from down the street. “If you live, just know that I will kill you if you come near Sierra. She’s mine now.”

I knew the moment that Sierra saw Forrest’s lifeless body. Instant satisfaction engulfed me as her screams and fighting stopped. I wanted to beat my chest like a caveman with the knowledge that there is nobody else in my way now when it comes to Sierra being mine. Nobody to stop me from keeping her all to myself and nobody who will come and take her from me again.

I knew I had to hurry and get her out of that house before the police arrived so I rushed to my car, placed a nearly catatonic Sierra in the trunk so nobody could see her, and drove off like a bat out of hell in the opposite direction the police were coming from. It took several hours of side streets, highways and driving in circles to finally arrive at our destination. I was only somewhat worried about how Sierra fared on the ride here because of how quiet she was but I knew she was ok.

The ride to the house was quiet and I hadn’t received any calls during my long drive. There was plenty of time to contemplate what I wanted to do first. I have waited a long time for this day to come and I won’t wait any longer to take what I’ve longed for. To take what I’ve dreamed about for months. I can already taste her sweat essence on my tongue. I can already imagine how she will feel wrapped around my cock as I slid deeply into that sweet pussy. She will be as tight as a glove fitted just for me. I am already hard as a rock just thinking about it as I adjust myself to relieve the straining in my pants.

I plan to take her in every way possible before the week is through. Then I plan to take her every day as many times as I can from here on out because I can. She will learn to love it. She will learn to enjoy my cock in her pussy and moan at every touch I make and scream with every thrust. I will use her and never get my fill because she is the one.
