The Forbidden Girl novel Chapter 23

"Probably Bluetooth," the male officer answered. "We may be able to trace the signal to what computer is connected to or what device he's using and might be able to find him that way."

"Do you need anything else?"

"We'll call you if we need anything or have a breakthrough, just keep what you guys are doing Blake," Jaimie laid a hand on his shoulder. "And don't hurt her Blake, she has feelings for you without a doubt."

"She's better off without me though." He walked them to the door and locked it. He ran upstairs. "Sam?" He paused in the door way to her room. "Honey I was going to clean it all up."

"I've got it." Sam practically ignored him.

He walked in and grabbed her around the waist. "Sit please?"

She glanced at him, his mouth was in a slim line. She did as he asked.

"This isn't easy for me Sam, I want to be here for you and protect you but you deserve so much better. I couldn't even keep my baby sister alive, she drowned when we were younger, I almost drowned myself, the current was too strong and wicked, my parents never forgave me, I've been wrestling with this most of my life. Afraid someone will get close to me and they'll die, I couldn't handle if something happened to you because I couldn't keep you safe," he whispered as he pulled her into him his lips brushed against her temple. "That and I don't want to hurt you."

"I feel safe with you though and you can't hurt me unless I let you and if we don't do what we did last night I can't get hurt." She mumbled into his chest.

"But can you stop?"

"I don't know."

"I can't, every time I get close to you I want to ravish you, I want to hold you, kiss you, touch you, everywhere," Blake rubbed her arm gently. "I don't know what you've done to me."

"We're caring about each other, which Aaron told us not to do."

"We're terrible people for caring about someone." He whispered and tilted her head gently and pressed his lips against hers.

She whimpered as she kissed him back, she gripped his shoulders tightly as he laid her back against the bed. He laid his arms above her head and his other hand against her waist.

They pulled away when the banging on the door filled the house. Blake pulled back. "I'll be right back." He rushed downstairs and opened the door. "Aaron."

"I just saw the cops leave, everything okay, Sam okay?"

"He showed up again, he apparently recorded us last night."

"What?"

"Yeah I told Jaimie everything, I was helping Sam straighten up her room, I kind of trashed it when I was trying to find how he videoed us."

"This just gets better and better."

"Trust me I know, I'm actually close to killing this guy."

"Stay with her Blake, please? I'll finish everything outside, I just need the house key."

"Alright."

Aaron went to the kitchen as Blake went upstairs. When he walked into the room it was all clean and back in order. Sam was sitting on the bed with her sketch book in her lap leaning against her pillows. "Honey I told you I'd clean it up."

"I know." She stared at the blank canvas in front of her. She was trying so hard to remember all the people she came into contact with but the voice didn't match any of them.

Blake sat down beside her. "What you doing?"

"Trying to place his voice."

"Don't worry, we'll get this guy."

"I hope so." She whispered as a shutter ran through her.

"Cold?"

Aaron finished up the chores outside and made a call to Jaimie.

"Hi Baby!" Her cheerful voice greeted him.

"Hi Babe, seen you were here, I miss you, how are you?"

"I miss you too, yeah, Blake called us, did he tell you?"

"About the videos? Yeah he did, this guy has it bad for Sammy."

"Not as bad as Blake does."

Aaron let out a chuckle. "Yeah I guess he does, I tried to warn them both."

"Well that made it all the more interesting, I mean Brady warned us both. Are you okay with it?"

"Not really a choice a suppose, I guess the worse that'll happen is they'll have a fall out, I'm going to take you out tonight, we haven't gone out in a while."

Jaimie's joy and excitement flew through her. "Okay, you've got a date."

"Movie and pizza?"

"Of course."

"I love you Jaimie."

"I love you too Aaron, see you tonight."

Aaron got off the phone and headed inside. "Sammy, Blake?" He called as he unlocked the door and walked in.
