The Only One Series novel Chapter 58

That night I walked Iris to our bedroom. I told her that she could take a shower. I gave her one of my t-shirts and handed her the new panties my mom brought to our room. I grabI took off my cut and folded it laying across the chair. I took my wallet, change, and comb and put it on the dresser along with my keys. I plugged in my cell phone and laid it on the nightstand. I grabbed a pair of shorts to put on after my shower.

I looked up to see Iris standing in the doorway. I walked over and towel-dried her hair and brushed it before braiding it. I then told her to go and climb into bed. I took my shower and then brushed and braided my hair before out into the bedroom. I climbed into bed and leaned against the headboard. I turned the TV on and handed Iris the remote control.

She looked from the control to me. I showed her how to change the channels. I lay back with one arm behind my head and watched her as she flipped through the channels. She stopped at the "Dead Files" We watched the show and soon I felt her move closer to me. I looked down and noticed she was sound asleep. I turned the TV off and then the lamp and lay back closing my eyes.

I was not sure what woke me up. I lay and listened on alert. Then I looked over and noticed that Iris was not in the bed. I walked to the bathroom and she was not there. Then I heard her sniffles. I turned the light on and walked to the other side of the bed calling her name. I got down on my knees and lifted the sides of the blankets. Iris, why are you sleeping under the bed?

She pointed towards the door. I looked up listening. Then I heard it. Someone was trying to open the door. I put my finger to my lips letting her know to be quiet. I walked over to the door and quietly unlocked it before I stepped into the shadows. I watched as the door was slowly opened. Then I grew angry. It was one of the members who had been watching Iris.

I waited until he walked through the door before punching him and kicking him out into the hallway. The next thing I knew was my brother's and parents' bedroom door open and dad yelling "what the hell is going on out here?" This bastard was trying to sneak into the bedroom. What I would like to know is what was he up to?

Temper and Anger grabbed his arms and dragged him down the hall to the stairs. I walked back to the bedroom and told Iris she could come out now. I watched as she rolled out from under the bed. I lifted her in my arms and carried her down the stairs. I saw my brothers had sat the member in a chair and stood on each side of him.

My father asked him why he was sneaking into my bedroom. He didn't say a word. My dad punched him. I will ask only one more time. Why were you sneaking into Rage's bedroom? The girl. What about her? I thought I could take her without Rage knowing. And what were you going to do with her? What do you think he said looking up at my dad. You were planning on raping Rage's woman. She is not his woman yet. That makes her fair game.
