Shadows In Durango

Chapter 55

wrkkDaryl's POV *##x

Turning when | hear the front door open, | find a tear stained Sofia followed by an anxious looking Emma.

What the fuck has Vincent done to them this time?!

"Sofia?" | question, as she peers up atthrough her soaked lashes before choking on a sob.

"Emma what's happening?" Reid followstowards them, as she opens and closes her mouth to find an answer

for him.

"What's happening? What's happening is that | found these two grinding on sguys down at that new

western bar! Guys thought they were getting fucking lucky tonight to put it lightly!" We all turn to find Vincent

entering through the front door behind them, his temper evidently in full swing as | take in his bloodied knuckles

and disheveled appearance.

It was clear that he had dealt with whatever guys he was on about... but | couldn't lie that the news of what they

had been up to tonight did hurt my feelings slightly.

But taking another glance at Sofia's frightened face, | sigh and shake my head.

"Vin just quit it! They are both shaken up about it clearly. We can discuss it tomorrow." | tell him, my tone

warning as he raises a brow.

"Always playing the knight in shining armour aren't you Daryl?!" He scoffs, before taking off in a quick stride

towards the staircase - heading up to his room for the night.

| was sort of glad he took himself away, knowing that if he wanted to, he could have stayed and made this night

much worse for everybody.

"We should probably talk about this." Reid motions towards the kitchen with Emma, who looks as guilty as they

cas she trudges her feet slowly behind him - giving Sofias shoulder a squeeze on passing. Sofia wiped her

wet cheeks, sniffling and seeming to grow frustrated.

"We were only dancing and having fun!" She groans out, and | can tell from the tone of her voice that there was

alcohol involved in the mix.

Vincent was right about one thing, they shouldn't be out at bars underage drinking by themselves. The cops

could've showed up or solder sleazy guys could have taken advantage of them.

"Let's go to my room." | breathe out, holding out my hand for her to take which she thankfully does.

It seemed that Vincent had already given her a pretty hard tabout whatever happened and therefore she

didn't need to hear the sthing from me...

I'll say my piece about it in a way that won't make her more terrified or upset.

We reach my bedroom, as | kick open the door with my foot and then turn on the light, leading her to sit on the

bed as she sinks down on to it with slumped shoulders.

She reaches up to remove her pink cowboy hat, tossing it down on to the floor at her feet with a huff of

frustration to how her night had ended.

"What happened?" | try, sitting beside her and attempting to keep my tone softer.

It was a different approach to the one Vincent had took, knowing that if | showed that | was pissed off about her

dancing with another guy it wouldn't lead us anywhere.

"We were just having fun and out of nowhere Vincent showed up and attacked the guy | was with... | just don't

get it, because he's not my boyfriend so what right does he have to do that? Plus is he followingaround now

like a stalker? How did he even find us in the first place? What's his deal?!" She complains, as | chuckle at her

rants.

She has a point there. Vincent was so used to just claiming what and who he wanted with a snap of his fingers

but Sofia was different. She wasn't used to Vincent and his ways and that's what I liked about her.

"You're right, but once Vincent likes you that's that. This is how he is." | shake my head and explain, watching her

roll her eyes.

"But he's so confusing! One minute he acts all interested and the next he's just rude and all stand offish with

me! Sure, he really helpedout with a job and with my whole neighbour situation, but that doesn't mean he

gets to bossaround whenever he feels like it. The last | checked, | was single and had the right to dance with

other guys!" Sofia deadpans, which sends a jolt of jealousy through me.

| wouldn't admit it to her, but | could understand how Vincent felt after seeing her with somebody else... the

thought of it alone made my muscles tense.

One thing was for certain, she had us both under her spell.

"He obviously likes you and has a funny way of showing it... kinda like | do." I admit, causing for her to glance

over atin surprise.

"That doesn't give him the right to dragout of a place, calla whore and a tart and makecry! At least

you don't do that to me." Sofia attempts to laugh at what happened, using the back of her hand to wipe her

mascara stained face. He did what?!

"He called you those things?!" | grit out, suddenly pissed off with how far Vincent had taken it with her.

| knew he could be a fully blown asshole whenever he had a tantrum but that was fucking uncalled for.

"Yeah, he even said | dyed my hair porn star blonde! For somebody who apparently 'likes' me, he's pretty nasty

toat the best of times!" Sofia scoffs, slightly irritated now by how he had acted.

I'll need to talk to him about this because he's crossed the line.

"Well for what it's worth sweetheart, | don't think you're a whore... but the new porn star blonde hair is doing

things for me..." | smirk, causing her to gasp at the statement before playfully smacking my arm as | laugh.

"Letmake you feel better?" | offer, as she squints at what | mean.

| don't waste much time, before swiftly turning her to sit on my lap - straddling me- and causing for her to grow

flustered.

"What are you do-?" She begins to say, before | start to kiss her passionately, enjoying being the one to distract

her from everything that had happened tonight.

She leans into the kiss, as my tongue enters her mouth and her hands find the back of my head.

I allow my arms to fall down her back, reaching her ass, as | grab it and use it to push her closer to- causing

sfriction against my dick.

Fuck!

Growing hot, | feel myself instantly grow hard as she gasps a little but continues to kiss me, seeming to get lost

in the heat of the moment.

| pull back for a breath, seeing her eyes slightly glazed over, as | smile at the clear effect | had on her.

"It must be the new hair that hason heat... but | want nothing more than to take you on this fucking bed

right now..." I admit, watching her cheeks redden as she blushes at my words. "But | won't..." | sigh, as her eyes

turn to pleading.

"Why not?" She whispers, surprisingcompletely as | shake my head slowly.

"You've not done it before have you?" | question, having already figured out the answer for myself with how shy

she had been about kissing.

She pauses for a moment, before slowly shaking her head to confirm my suspicions.

That is why I'll wait...
