into
her ears as sobs rack her tiny body. My heart is breaking to see
her this, this broken.
Her Step-Father looks worse now
than when I left him, he's out for the count and Dem just shrugs
unapologetically as I raise my eyebrow. He closes the door behind
us following me down the path, glancing at the broken girl in my
arms his face blank, as usual.
In the car I still don't put her
down, I can't my arms don't want to let her go yet. Man I am in
trouble with this girl, I frown internally.
She is in a deep sleep when we
arrive back at my house, so I take her to the guest bedroom and
place her gently on the bed. I wish more than anything i could put
her in my bed with me but somehow after everything it feels wrong.
I remove the dirty sheet and look down at her torn dress that
covers nothing, not that it did much before. I decide she would be
more comfortable in a t shirt so i go and fetch one from my bedroom
not wanting her to wake up in that thing and see herself, its hard
enough for me. I try not to look as I change her, but hell I am
only a man, and at this moment in time I have never been more aware
of that fact.
Cold shower for me I think
taking one last lingering glance at the beautiful, broken angel
sleeping in the bed.

Chapter Six
Lexi
I am warm and comfy..... My eyes
fly open, my bed isn't comfy and it's never warm. Where the hell am
I? Last night comes flooding back to me, running from Liam, Creepy
Dude dragging me to my room by my hair as Mike laughs, Liam......Oh
my god! Liam... Liam came back for me!
I scan the cream and sky blue
room in awe. Its the most stunning room I have ever seen. Blue silk
curtains cover a floor to ceiling window letting the sun almost
dance through them majestically. This bed could sleep five of me,
dressed in creams and blues, soft cotton and silk, it's amazing. I
sit up and notice I am in a black t shirt that is so big it hangs
off one shoulder, it must be Liams...... he changed me? I exhale a
big cleansing breath, flopping backwards on top the pillows again
and a piece of paper flutters up into the air. Strangely I feel
giddy at the thought of a note from Liam.
Lexi,
Good Morning I hope you slept
well. I am sorry I couldn't be there when you woke but I have a
really important breakfast meeting. Help yourself to a shower. I
have left some more clothes for you on the chair in the corner.
Please eat, the kitchen is well stocked. I will be back by 1.30 at
the latest. Make yourself at home we will talk when I return.

I check the time, it's already
11.45 I can't believe I slept so late. I rush to the bathroom my
body protesting at my fast movements. The bathroom is just as
incredible as the rest of this place. The marble free standing bath
with gold claw feet catches my attention, I wonder if they are real
gold? I wouldn't doubt it, the shower is behind the most intricate
frosted glass enclosure and I press the button on the wall to start
up all six jets. WOW!
As I strip off the t shirt and
my underwear I take a look at my injuries in the full length mirror
that covers one whole wall. My head looks awful, I have a gash
about 2cm long with bruising down the left side of my face. My arms
are marred with purple and black hand prints and my left elbow is
grazed from the pavement the same as my left knee. I look a mess, I
can't stand to see myself anymore so I turn away and get in the
shower.
After the most amazing shower I
feel so much better, I feel clean. I get dressed into the clothes
Liam left for me. Liam... Even the thought of him makes me smile. I
head into the massive kitchen and make myself a coffee and a piece
of toast, I don't each much - if anything at all - so this is
plenty.
I hear the door and a smile
immediately takes over my face as I bounce into the living room a
little nervous but still excited, my smile quickly fades when a
tall, slim, stunning blonde in a immaculate light pink
