Chapter 141 - Black Bully

Riley's head nods, her cheek sliding up and down her fists against it. She groaned slightly at the discomfort tensing her bones, her neck was killing her.

Liam watched in amusement, never taking his eyes off her, he noticed her discomfort as her mouth forms a thin line.

He frowned, her neck must be hurting from the constant nodding but still he didn't wanna wake her up and disturb her sleep, who knew whether she has had any for the past three days. 

Riley's fist suddenly slits from her cheek, her head dropping, Liam quickly used his palm to brace her forehead from slamming on the table.

Riley groaned, her eyes flashing open, she raised her head, her red hair jolting backward.

"You should have woke me up" she pouts.

"Well you were sound asleep" he shrugs.

"And uncomfortable," she said with a yawn.

"When was the last time you slept?" he asked worried noticing her fatigue.

"I can't exactly remember," she said with wistful eyes, she couldn't pinpoint the last time she had sleep, wasn't it after she awoke from the coma as herself? Yes, that should be it, since then to get her eyes close gave her the chills.

"Maybe I'm scared".

"Scared of what?"

"Of sleeping" she gulps.

"You're scared you will get locked up in your own body again," Liam said certainly.

"Maybe" she shrugs.

"Riley" he began, placing a hand on hers.

"You are never falling asleep again, in that way, trust me, whatever Ghost did, he assured him it won't come back, you're back as yourself forever"

A smile graced her lips.

"I believe you," she said.

He smiled.

She stretched groaning.

"Well then, I should have some sleep now my knight in shining armor is here to protect me," she said in amusement.

"Knight in shining armor", he raised an eyebrow.

"Are you not?", she tilts her head to the side.

"No Riley, I'm the opposite, in a good way".

"Then you're the big bad wolf" she comments.

"Who's gonna eat you up," he said huskily.

Riley's heart skipped a bit, she could already imagine it, she could already imagine his bite marks all over her body as it once did, to tell the world she was his only. She bit her lip at the thought, was she truly just his alone?

"You know what that does to me," he said as his eyes darken in desire, the beast wanting so badly to claw out of its cage.

"I have no idea," she said innocently, but she knew what it does to him and she loved it, but right now sleep, she needed sleep to get her body the rest she needed. 

"Off to bed, God, I really need sleep," she said rising to her feet.

"Where are going?"

"What do you mean, the room, where people sleep" she shrugged.

"Which room?"

"My room" she clarified.

"Excuse me?"

She frowned, what did she do wrong, she couldn't talk right now, she was too sleepy to argue with him right now, the look he has was kinda scary, what got him off his toes?

"Goodnight" she murmurs turning, still puzzled at his actions and look.

She just sighs heading to the door, but suddenly gravity leaves her body as she was swamp off her feet and placed on his shoulder, caveman style, what the fuck?

"What the fuck, Liam!" she squealed on top of her voice slamming her fists on his back.

This gained the attention of others as they watch in awe.

"Uh what, what... I'm awake" Race said jolting awake looking around, but then turned.

"Okay what?", his mouth dropped at the scene.

"Liam. O'Brien. Put. Me. Down." Riley hissed through clenched teeth, trying to break free, and damn he was strong, he held her waist firm with just one hand.

Liam turned to others.

"If you would excuse us," Liam said firmly as he walks out, the doors slide shut.

A minute of strange silence filled the room.

"That was..." Gray trailed off trying to register.

"Hot" Kayla said smirking with a nod of her head.

All their eyes land on her.

"What?" she asked innocently.

***

"Liammmmm!" she groans throwing a tantrum, why was he acting like a bully right now. 

"Just stay still" he growled smacking her ass.

She gasps at the sudden impact, it sent a thrilling feeling straight to her core.

"Bully" she murmurs moving again but to no process.

"Liam put me down, please I need sleep" she pouts.

"Sleep you will get... but in my house, what the fuck babe you think I'm gonna let you sleep in some guest room?" he said practically growling.

'So that's what' she thought as a smile pursed up her lips.

"Well I'm a guest aren't I?"

He growled again, drawing her down, to carry her in his arms, she gasps at the change of position, her arms wraps around his neck to steady herself, he handled her like she weighed no less than a toothpick.

"You're not a guest," he said through clenched teeth.

She gulps, why was he throwing a tantrum over this. Their walk continued, which was outside the mansion.

"I can walk you know, you don't have to carry me all the way," she said sighing.

He ignored her, Riley just rolled her eyes at his silence, knowing the big bad wolf wasn't gonna listen to her complaint, he always had his way.

They got to a building, Riley gasps at the size of it, she didn't know his house was that big, it was modern style like a yacht shape, in a two-story building and large, that means the last time she was just downstairs?

"This land, how many parts do you own?" she asked curiously.

He could possess a wide range of it, due to how big he built the buildings, she was sure other buildings were lying around.

"All of them".

Her eyes widen in total bewilderment, he practically bought a whole land worth the seize of a town or a country even... How rich was he?

"Everything?"

He faced her.

"Everything" he answers like it was no big deal but to Riley it was.

She gulps.
