Shadows of a Broken Bond

Tour and Pool

(Xander)

She looks at me for a few more seconds before looking away.

“How about I give you a tour of the house and then you can rest or join me in a swim” she said and I nodded. As I follow Kamile around the house memories of us began to flash in my mind. Her bringing me food every day. How she would clean my wounds when dad used to beat me. When she would buy us hot chocolate when it was really cold. When she would give me beanies and sweaters when it was cold. Even when she would spend Christmas with me in the ally behind a dumpster so I wouldn’t be alone. I remember holding her close to me to make sure she was safe. I remember whispering to her when she was asleep that I would always protect her. How she would blush every time I smiled because she loved my dimples.

‘Now we will both protect her, always’ my wolf says and I agree.

“Do you like it?” Kamile asked as we stopped between our rooms.

“Yes, you have a beautiful home” I said and she blushes.

“Thank you. Um… you can rest or do anything you want. This is your house now too. I’m going to jump in the pool for a little while” she said.

‘Go to the pool. I want to know who’s that rogue from last night’ my wolf said.

“I’ll join you” I said and she nodded with a smile. I go to my room and quickly change to some basketball shorts since I don’t have swimming shorts. I put on a tank top and some flip flops before heading out. Just as I walk out Kamile opens her door. She’s wearing a black and purple two piece bikini. f**k, she has an amazing body. I can feel my wolf also looking at her.

“Sorry, I don’t usually wear bikinis to the pool. Since no one is ever around I go naked. Just like when I sleep” she said.

“You- you sleep naked?” I asked thinking that maybe I heard wrong.

“Yes, I also sleep naked” she says and I nod.

‘I don’t mind if she wants to swim naked. I want to see more of her’ my wolf says and I ignore him. We head down to the pool and she lets her hair loose. I can’t help but take out my phone and take a picture without her knowing. I put my phone away and turn only to see Kamile dive into the pool. She comes back up and few seconds later and she smiles at me.

“Are you coming in or are you just going to watch?” she asks. I take off my shirt and jump in the pool. I swim to where she’s at and come up.

“Who was that man from last night?” I asked. She looks at me a bit confused.

“The one that grabbed you by the hair” I said holding back a growl.

“Oh, him. His name is Jake. He used to be a security guard at the company. He was hired a week before my parents died. After I took over the company the head security guard placed him with me when I had to leave the office. He was to make sure that he kept the paparazzi and the media away from me since my parents news was still hot. He did his job, but one day a female reporter made an appointment saying she wanted to build a hotel in a property she bought and that she wanted to meet with me personally. The moment she was given access to the building she said she forgot something outside it was only to bring her camera and her companion. I heard Yolanda shouting. I went to go see what was going on when the door burst open and hit me so hard that it knocked me out. When I came back to Jake was there looking angry. I thought that he was angry because of what happened, but that was not it” she said as she lays on her back to float. I can’t help but admire her body.

“After the doctor came to check on me. I went home, but since I couldn’t drive. Jake offered to take me home. Somehow he knew where I lived without me giving him my address and I found it odd since no one but Yolanda knew where I lived. He tried to stay, but I refused. When I got back to work, Bradly came to me and told me to be careful. When I asked him why he told me that he found Jake looking through the computer and he saw that he was looking up my information and that the head security knew and didn’t do or say anything. Bradly has never lied to me or anything and is very respectful, but I couldn’t just take his word, so I hired a private investigator and had him check Jake out. It took a while because Jake was careful, but the private investigator confirmed what Bradly had said and much more. The asshole had pictures of me entering and leaving my parents old house. So I sold the house and came to live here without letting anyone know or putting my information in the system” she said as her eyes turned to me.

“What about Jake?” I asked.

“I fired him along with the head security guard. I also called in a favor and made sure that neither of them had any information that was taken from my company in their possession or anywhere and that the pictures were deleted for good. It had been a while since I saw Jake beside last night” she said.

“What about that head security guy?” I asked.

“It seem he had a gambling problem so Jake was paid him to use the computer and get some information. I fired him as well and promoted Bradly to head of security” she said.

“So how many people know you live here?” I asked.

“Besides the cleaning people. You and Yolanda” she said.

“I don’t know why my parents bought this place with all this land, but I’m glad they did. This place along with the acres I bought… I feel like I did the right thing for some reason” she said before going back to her feet. I looked around. It is in the middle of nowhere and my wolf loves being out here. I love it too.

“I’m going to go get us something to drink. Anything specific you want?” she asked.

“Anything is fine” I said and she nods. She gets out and grabs her towel before going inside.

‘I know she has no idea that that guy, Jake, is a rogue, but something tells me we haven’t seen the last of him and he’s dangerous’ my wolf says.

‘I agree with you. He’s bad news’ I said. Just then Kamile came back out with a bottle of Don Q green apple and two shot glasses. I arched an eyebrow. I had no idea she drank.

‘She’s not the little girl she used to be, human. She’s a beautiful grown woman. I wonder if she has a boyfriend’ my wolf says. He was not wrong about Kamile being grown and beautiful and the thought of her having a boyfriend didn’t sit well with me.

“Kamile, do you have a boyfriend?” I asked.

“Me? No. Some people want to date me but it’s because of my status and wealth. I want someone who is going to love me for me. Someone who will be interested in my likes and dislikes. Someone that would ask me how my day was. Someone that would show up at my job with lunch when I’m too busy with work to go out or someone that would send me flowers with a card saying that he’s thinking about me just so I can smile. Someone that will want to be my first in everything” she said before taking a shot.
