“Listen, let’s just see what happens over the next few days,” I said, biting my lower lip. Ryder had a point- but I couldn’t live in fear just because a crazy stalker was after me. I still had to support my nephew and be there for him.
Chapter 9
Lacy
Tonightwasgoingtobe a self-care night. Today’s events had rattled me too much. I was tired of it, so I sat in my bubbly bathtub, enjoying the peace. Grabbing my red waterproof vibrator, I slowly rubbed it over my thighs as I leaned back in the tub.
Once again, being around the pack for hours had turned me on a lot, and I needed relief. I’ve never masturbated for two days in a row, and I wondered what was happening to me. I justified it by the stressful day I went through. I leaned back in the tub, enjoying the bubbles that rose to my chin. The air was foggy with the hot bath, and the scent of my body wash mixed with my ginger scent filled the air.
Even though I used the strongest body wash, it wasn’t enough to erase my natural smell. My skin tingled with the vibrating toy between my thighs, and my body grew warmer with arousal. I pressed the toy against my pussy, pressing it’s rubber ear inside my pussy. It didn’t go all the way in, but just enough so I could feel something there. The toy vibrated under the water against my clitoris, and my breathing came out in harsh gasps the closer I got to my orgasm. I thought about all the bodyguards and how close their bodies were to mine in the limo. I thought about Ryder watching me masturbate, and my face heated, but my pussy clenched.
I shivered around the toy as I came thinking about him.
Damn.
I came down slowly from my high, spent and trembling as I lay in the tub, letting my toy drop to the bottom. My pussy clenched from the aftershocks, and I wished I had an alpha’s knot to relieve me. Staying a virgin was much harder now that I was constantly around alphas and deltas. And they were hot as hell on top of that. After Jordan, I never dated anyone but instead focused on my dream of singing. But now…I was starting to re-think my entire life.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a crash coming from downstairs.
I stilled in the water, listening intently. Maybe an animal knocked over my flower vase, even though I had no pets. A squirrel must have gotten in. But when I heard footsteps shuffling around downstairs, my heart stopped. Heart pounding hard, I slowly stood up from the bathtub, stark naked and trying not to make a noise. I grabbed my towel, wrapping it around my chest. I needed to barricade myself in my room and get to my phone.
Heart-racing, I ran from the bathroom and went into my room. I slammed my bedroom door shut and locked it with pruney fingers. The footsteps started running up the stairs after figuring out where I was.
Fuck.
Breathing hard through my nose, I swiped my phone from my bed with shaking hands. I tried dialing Ryder’s number, but my fingers were wet. Rubbing my hands on my towel, I tried again. Harsh knocking sounded at the door, and I instantly dropped my phone, which slipped from my wet hands.
“Get out of my house!” I screamed. Silence on the other side.
I watched in horror as the person tried jiggling the doorknob.Oh, hell no. Picking up my phone from the floor, I ran to the walk-in closet and shut the door. I sat in front of the door, leaning my back against it as I tried to dial Ryder’s number again. My vision was blurry from my panic, and my hands wouldn’t stop shaking as I held the phone to my ear.
Ryder answered on the first ring.
“Yes?”
“There’s someone in my house,” I whispered shakily, trying to speak above the noise of the banging at the door. “I’m in my bedroom, and he’s trying to get in. Please come.”
“I’m already halfway to your house,” he said in a firm voice. “Get inside your closet.”
“Okay, I am,” I said.
“Wrap a bunch of clothes around your arm in case they come at you with a knife,” he ordered.
I scrambled around my closet, pulling glittery dresses off the racks in my panic. I tried to wrap them around my arms, but then I heard the banging at the door get even louder. I kept dropping the clothes and picking them up again.
Louder rattling as he fiddled with the doorknob. I tried to wrap the clothes around my arms as best I could. I scrambled to pick up the phone.
“Okay, I did it,” I said as the glitter scratched my arms.
“Good girl. It’s in case you have to lift your arm to block off a knife attack,” he said.
“Okay,” I whispered.
“Stay on the line with me, Lacy. Don’t hang up,” he said, and I heard him bark commands to his pack while I stayed on the line with him. I sat huddled in the closet for what seemed like an eternity. I closed my eyes, listening to the banging and the shaking of the doorknob.
Emotions ran through me, especially rage.Who the hell did he think he was?
“Leave!” I screamed again, clutching the phone tight in my hands. “You jackass!”
