Clover Lane

Damian

I was working out in my backyard as a ‘Ping’ went off on my phone. I hopped up from my push-ups, heading over to it. I pulled up my notifications.

“Leave me alone or I’ll call the cops,” -Poppy.

A chuckled rumbled out of my throat as I put my phone in my pocket. My mic rosu, telling me what to do. I swiped my thumb over my bottom lip as lust bubbled within me. I need to make a move and soon. I grunted as I strode into my house, heading up to take a shower. As I was walking into my room, heading towards my drawers, I caught a glimpse of her panties laying on top of my dresser.

I picked them up, rubbing them on my chest as I groaned. So soft... But not as soft as her skin. I slowly slid the fabric down my front and towards my groin. My mind went to visions of her lying in her bed all those nights, the smell she emitted, and then the taste of her blood filled my mouth, almost as if it was still on the tip of my tongue. I was snapped back to what I was doing as my phone went off again. I rolled my eyes, groaning in frustration as I placed the underwear back on top of my dresser.

“I’m heading over, you refuse to answer me, and WE need to talk.”- Jake. That was sent to her an hour ago while I was busy doing my workout.

My jaw clenched as I pulled up my photos. I will be damned if this asshole ruins s**t for me. I swiped up, scrolling through my pictures, and landed on a picture of a dead cop. He was dirty. Don’t worry, that’s why I killed him. I quickly pulled up Poppy’s number, attaching the photo and sending it. That’ll get her to call him off.

And with that, almost like it was fate, I received a phone call from her mother.

“Hello?” I answered smoothly. I heard her clear her throat on the line.

“Um, yes Mr. Locke? I’m so sorry to bother you, but it appears my cable and internet are down. Is there any way you can come take a look at it today?” She asked as my brain started to scream YES!

“Of course, Mrs. McNair, that is my job,” I chuckled as she thanked me. “I’ll be there in an hour; I need to grab some supplies from the store.”

“Oh, thank you! I unfortunately won’t be here, but my daughter will let you in!” She giggled. We said our goodbyes, and she hung up. I turned, heading to take a shower before I went and grabbed some supplies from the store. I needed some cables, wire cutters, and other miscellaneous supplies for my other line of work for tonight. But I also wanted to make sure I fixed the problem for Mrs. McNair. I’m not inherently evil enough to let her go without entertainment.

I stretched as I headed to the shower. I really did want to jerk off, but it did not help my amped up lust at all. If anything, it made it worse. Only working out or doing a job kept my raging d**k calm enough. I leaned my head on my shower wall as the water pelted the back of my neck, making my hair flow in front of my face. I would change my hair cut if I could, but unfortunately, I’ve had the same mobster cut since I got it.

I leaned back, running my hands through my hair, as memories of my old life in prison flashed through my mind. I wonder if she’d accept me for ALL of me. I shrugged as I finished up washing my body and hair. Doesn’t matter if she’ll accept me, I’ll make her. A devious grin ran over my face as I exited the shower.

I threw on a tight white t-shirt and a pair of jeans, finishing the look with my worn-out boots. I don’t overdress, there’s no point. I’m either doing my side gig of installing cable and internet for the locals, or I’m out rough housing the local garbage here or in Seattle. It depends on where I’m sent to. I work in an elite force that deals with taking down the supernatural that abuses their powers.

I sucked my teeth as I walked into my garage, grabbing a helmet off the shelf. I threw it on as my phone went off again. I pulled it up. Her little green dot was moving close to me. Hmm... her GPS states the Walmart off of Washington St. Exactly where I was going. I opened my garage door, waiting for her dot to get a good distance in front of me.

I pulled out, turning right onto the street, following behind a Mustang. Of course, this jerk drives one of those. I inched closer. Their thoughts reached me. I gripped my handles tightly as my teeth ground against each other.

‘She will be under me in no time... ease peasy red,’ Jake’s thought worked his way into my frontal lobe. ‘I’ll keep up this charade till winter break is over and Rosie is back from Europe.’ The f**k you will!

‘Jesus, it’s been months, maybe... just this once?’ Her thought slid over his. I ended up vibrating a low growl as we pulled into the parking lot. He parked absurdly far from the entrance, with me parking a few spots behind him. I watched and waited as she fell out of the car. The fact this asshat was making her walk that far on her injured knee. He was all over her.

I leaned back, cracking my knuckles as they worked their way to the entrance. As they got out of view, I removed my helmet, walking over to his car. I dug my nail into the side, dragging it and engraving a deep line through the paint. I crossed my arms, sucking my teeth, as I was not satisfied with my work. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out a knife and stabbed his front wheel. A satisfying hiss released as I folded my blade back up, sticking it back in my pocket and heading towards the entrance.

I strode by the greeter, who fanned herself as I walked by.

‘Oh, my goodness! Two hot men in one day! Lord, throw one my way!’ I grinned as her mental wave ran through me. I straightened up, heading back to the electronic section. It’s cute she thinks she can get cameras to catch me.

‘Jesus, why did she choose this store of all places...’ I stood in the aisle over, looking at cable connectors as Jake’s horrid thoughts made their way to me.

‘Should I tell him I have a stalker...’ I froze as my jaw clenched, my teeth ground against each other as I heard her ever so slightly whisper, “I... have a stalker...” I folded my arms as Jake responded. I heard her sigh and give her an explanation as she pressed the button. The clerk finished up getting what she needed, turning to head to the counter.

I stood at the end of the aisle as Poppy turned, running into a cart and tripping. I stepped out, reaching out to catch her. My forearm was smack dab under her breasts as I could feel her heart racing, the blood being pumped through her veins. I sucked in a breath, her scent flowing around me as I looked down at her like she was the purest little bunny I’ve ever held. My heart lurched as I felt an electric sensation rush through my skin.

I gently grabbed her shoulders, guiding her back to her feet. She was red like cherries as she brushed her hands on her thighs. Her gaze ran up my body as her mind raced, becoming jumbled to me for a moment.

‘f*****g asshole. Who does he think he is?’ Jake’s thought hit me like a truck. Jesus, so loud!

“We have got to stop meeting like this,” I smiled at her, which is something I do not do, unless it’s when I’m murdering someone, and it felt wrong in so many ways. Her expression contorted into shock. My smile dropped as my vision narrowed onto Jake, who was now standing next to her.

“You alright red?” He kept eye contact with me as he kissed the top of her head. This little fucking...

‘She’s mine and I’ll use her till she’s a shell, this asshole ain’t touching her till then...’ His slimy thought weaseled its way into my brain. Hmm, wanna play games then? HA! Fine, let’s play.

She went to move around me. I slyly placed my arm down, so she’d have to brush against me. Jake’s face burned as her breast glided across my arm, sending an amazing tingling sensation throughout my body. He then stepped forward, slamming his shoulder into me. I didn’t budge. I stood there as he grunted, rubbing his shoulder and walking up to her. She finished paying, then turned to head out. This fucker put himself between me and her.

“Excuse me... mic rosu,” I smoothly said. Her body tensed up as she halted. ‘Oh, my god, his accent.’ her compliment slipped to me through her delicious brain waves.

“You don’t happen to live... over off Clover Lane?” I tilted my head, trying to play pretend with not knowing where she lives. She was hesitant at first, as her eyes darted around.

“Yea, why?” She finally responded, slowly moving her eyesight to me. I grinned a toothy grin as I couldn’t hide my malicious intent anymore.

“Ah, so you’re the daughter of that gal who won’t stop talking about ya!” I chuckled as I extended my hand to her, knowing she’d accept it. She reached out, taking it as I properly introduced myself. I brought her hand up to my lips, softly kissing her delicate flesh, as Jake wasn’t having any of it.

He yanked her hand out of mine, causing her to whimper in pain. My core set ablaze as my eyes narrowed on him.
