Stalker
Four Years Ago…
I watched, my stare completely transfixed on the woman who was center stage, giving her valedictorian speech at the local high school graduation.
Katherine Riley.
I clenched my fists as they rested on my thighs, willing my emotions and my dick to stop trying to rule my actions.
Kate didn’t belong to me, and she never would. But she damn well needed a protector, because everyone in her life had done a pretty shitty job of keeping her safe for the first eighteen years of her life.
People called her Katie. But in my mind, she was Kate.
The woman who was stumbling valiantly through her talk about goals, dreams, and education after graduation was way too much of an adult to ever be anything else but Kate.
Had she ever been a kid?
I expected that she hadn’t.
I did know that she was smart.
She was beautiful.
And she was so damn brave that my heart felt like it was in a vise as I watched her struggle. I was pretty sure I was more worried about her making it through the speech than she was at the moment.
Jesus! I knew what it was like to be uncomfortable in front of large crowds. Most people would probably never notice because I had become a master at hiding my discomfort, but I somehow knew this woman was going through hell.
She seemed to radiate pain and hopelessness, even as she spoke of upbeat topics to the crowd.
I could sense it.
I could feel it.
Even though I seemed to be the only one who noticed as I looked around at the crowd of smiling faces as Kate continued to speak.
She was so fucking alone, and for some reason I didn’t understand, I felt that, too. Her mother had died just months ago, and all she had was a father who had never given a damn about her.
I had to wonder what was going to happen to this smart, intrepid female once graduation was over.
Godammit! I hated the thought of her leaving Florida. She had ability and intellect, but where was her opportunity to pursue her own destiny?
Top of her class, yet she’d lived in poverty her entire life. Pretty fucking extraordinary.
I clenched my fists harder, and locked my jaw, forcing myself to control the possessive emotions that threatened to swallow me whole.
What the fuck is wrong with me? I don’t covet any woman. Never had.
And the shit I was feeling was pretty unwelcome for a guy who was known for not having any discernable emotions.
My reaction to Kate was visceral, primal, and I had no damn idea why I felt I needed to jump onto the stage, scoop her ass up, and make sure that she never experienced another day of deprivation for the rest of her life.
I’d never felt like this before.
But shockingly, the instincts were there.
And they were damn near impossible to control, but I would master them. I always did.
I can never have her. It doesn’t fucking matter how I feel. It’s impossible.
It didn’t matter that I didn’t understand my bizarre connection to her. I was never going to act on those emotions.
I could, however, make sure she was safe. I’d make sure that she would always be okay.
I couldn’t ever touch her, but I could take care of her for as long as she needed me.
I didn’t ever want her to be alone in the world now that her mother was gone.
Even though my eyes never left her, my mind started to work on exactly how I could get close to her, but not too close.
My dick was protesting because it wanted nothing more than for me to get just as damn close as possible to her so it could lose itself in Kate.
So I could lose myself in her, too.
Buried deep.
Buried hard.
Surrounded by the moist heat that I instinctively knew would send me over the goddamn edge.
Son of a bitch!
Not. Going. To. Happen.
My body was tense as I tried to figure how much of my help she’d take.
It was better if I was anonymous. I knew that.
My eyes searched her face as well as they possibly could at a distance, taking in the dark smudges under her eyes, and the defeated downward curve of her shoulders.
Nobody has ever taken care of this woman.
She was only eighteen years old, and Kate already knew all of the harsh realities of life. She’d been living them for years.
She needs a chance to get all the education she wants and deserves. Hell, she’s top of her class.
I’d scanned the program before the ceremony had started. Kate had received scholarships. Several of them. But I had no idea what her plans really were now that her mother was gone.
“Thank you for coming to see the graduating students today as we move on to the next chapter in our lives,” Kate mumbled, looking relieved that she could finally stop talking and get out of the limelight.
I watched her as she left the stage, knowing that I’d always make damn sure I knew where she was and how she was doing.
I’d always keep track of her because I knew I wouldn’t be able to help myself.
I’d been fucked since the first time I’d laid eyes on her.
In fact, I was pretty sure I’d just become her stalker.
It wasn’t just a physical attraction. There was something else, something more…
I stood with the rest of the crowd, clapping for her.
God knew she deserved the accolades she was getting. It took a lot of guts to get up in front of this many people when it was the last thing she probably wanted to do.
“You ready?” the woman beside me asked.
I nodded as I put my arm around the beautiful female, and led her out of the auditorium, my brain distracted with ideas about what I could do to help Kate Riley.
