Ian POV

I wrap my angel into a possessive hug while my mind runs crazy with the ways I can make Riley pay. That bitch will get what is coming for her. How dare she touch what's mine? I tighten my hold on my angel at the paralysing thought. 

As much as I want to rid the world of Riley, I am reminded by Aubrey's little hands squeezing my sides, that she would be devastated. She cares too fucking much.

"Why do you keep choking me?" Aubrey mumbles against my chest as I continue to hold her in my tight grip.

I chuckle at her and bring my lips to kiss the top of her head. She struggles to lift her head up to look at me and then rests her chin on my chest her big brown eyes boring into mine.

From this position I see red handprint marks around her throat and my body immediately tenses. I am too rough with her, with the personality she has sometimes I forget it comes in such a fragile form. 

I bring my hand to examine her neck "Oh no angel I'm so sorry. Does it hurt? Are you ok? I'm just- shit- I'm sorry baby" I ramble bending down to examine the marks further. Holy shit I am too rough.

Her face softens and she brings her hands to rest on mine, stopping me from turning her neck. She looks at me warmly and reassures me "I'm fine." I smile back at her reciprocating her warm and loving gaze.

Suddenly her gaze turns into cute attempt at intimidation and she brings her hand to grab my throat. I am so taken aback that she manages to switch our positions and slam me against the bookshelf with her body pressed close to mine. I let out groan. Her hand is barely around half my throat while she is on her tippy toes to reach me.

I chuckle slightly at her and she blushes when she feels something poking her in the abdomen. She tries to regain her composure and continues to look at me with her attempt at an intimidating gaze. But someone so innocent at heart and with such soft features could never scare anyone. I want to just pinch her cheeks at how adorable she is being. 

"You have such a thick throat" she mutters to herself, probably not meaning to say it out loud which just makes me laugh harder. She 'tightens' her grip and looks at me 'sternly'. 

"Listen here Mr Gray-" she is cut off by me pressing our bodies closer and the obvious boner I have becoming harder for her to ignore. "Umm-" she blushes a deep shade of red. 

"We have a little dominant on our hands do we?" I chuckle looking down at her with lust and adoration evident in my eyes.

Her eyes widen and she tries to move her hand away from my throat, but I snap my hand up and keep in wrapped around my throat. "No, no please do go on darling" I say hoarsely as it takes everything in me not to kiss her fucking face off.

She rolls her eyes and pulls her hand away "You're a dick" she says looking away. I bring my hand to her shoulders and she snaps her gaze to me "Plus I think you get the message now" with her 'stern' expression. 

I have to stifle a laugh, god I fucking love her. 

She pulls away from me and brings her bag over her shoulder. "Ready to go angel" I question looking at her, while she has her eyes focused on the floor.

She looks up at me still with a blush and nods slightly. Great now my little angel as gone all shy on me. I chuckle, grab her hand and then lead her out of the store. She locks up and then takes my hand again as I lead her to the motorcycle. 

"Ohhh no Ian" she says whining slightly looking at her phone.

I stop dead in my tracks and turn to look at her. "What's wrong angel?"

"I feel really bad but mum wants me to go pick up some carrots from the store, you can go if you want" she says looking down.

I scoff. Does she seriously think I'll want to leave her? God she is stupid sometimes.

"Let's go" I say and pull her across the road to the store. 

"Aw thanks Ian" she says and I just roll my eyes at her. She has to know by now the lengths I would go for her, and I don't thinking going to the store for carrots is a fucking dealbreaker.

"Ok, you can wait outside I'll just be a sec" she says, handing me her bag with just a ten dollar note in her hand. 

"You sure baby?" I ask, sounds stupid but I really don't like being away from her.

"Yes please, I'll just get distracted and if I have all my money with me I'll buy random shit" she smiles and then scurries into the store leaving me chuckling.

After a few minutes of waiting I feel her bag vibrate. It keeps vibrating. So I dig through her bag to pull out her phone. I'm surprised the phone doesn't break with the tight grip I have on it seeing the caller ID. Without hesitating I answer the call from fucking Spencer.

"PRINCESS! Finally! You never told me how your little date with Riley went! You said you would callll" Spencer says whining slightly, god his voice is so annoying.

I growl thinking that this douchebag is calling her princess and the fact that the icecream shit was a date?

"Princess?" Spencer questions.

"Nope" I spit into the phone. 

It goes silent and I hear Spencer take in a deep breath "Oooohhh Ian man, how are you?"

I am about to respond when a flustered looking Aubrey comes out of the store with a bag of carrots. She looks at me and nods, but when she notices that the phone I'm holding to my ear is hers she holds out grabby hands. Like the fucking whipped arsehole I am I give her the phone.

"Hey?" Aubrey questions into the phone.

I don't hear Spencer's response but Aubrey's face contorts into worry. 

"Ok Spence, sorry about that! I'll call you later yeah?" she says and then hangs up the call.

"A fucking date with Riley huh?" I question my knuckles white from clenching.

She rolls her eyes and walks closer to me. She fucking rolled her eyes at me? I feel my body slightly soften when she grabs my fists and looks at me, prompting me to unclench them. 

"Spencer was just exaggerating because he thought Riley had a crush on me, on my end I just thought we were hanging out because she wanted to cheer me up" she says looking up into my eyes.

"Oh" I sigh, I bring my hands to run through my hair and look away briefly. "Oh?" I say then drop my hands and grab her shoulders and lean down so our faces are closer "Why did you need cheering up? Are you ok now? What can I do? I-" I begin to ramble, running my hands through her hair but she cuts me off.

"Ian I am fine don't worry" she says brushing me off.

"No tell me." I say assertively, bring my hands to cup her face.

"Or what? You'll choke me again?" she chuckles.

"Fuck" I mutter, my pants tightening. I straighten and then grab her hand leading her across the road to my motorcycle. I stop her in front of my motorcycle and bring the helmet over her head. I deeply look into her eyes, lean down so my face is at her height and say "Well, you know-if you-perhaps...fuck..." I say bringing my hands through my hair in frustration. I am pretty new to this whole emotion thing. "If you, you know...if you need someone to talk to... you know I'm always here... Fuck- you need to come to me first if something happens and I will deal with it... or I don't know cuddle you and shit"

Aubrey smiles and I can see her try not to giggle "Thank you Ian" and she brings her hands to run them through my hair. I need a fucking cold shower when I get home.
