Luke's Faith Read Free Page B

come with you, but I need you to know that when I was getting close to Faith she had some very strong, large men protecting her.”
    “Are they the men that harmed you?”
    “Yes and they warned me to never go back.”
    “Well I bet they won’t expect me and you know what happens to anyone who tries to harm or threaten me.”
    “That I do. Why do you think I’m taking my chances and betting on you for the win? I wouldn’t be going if it was anyone else.”
    “Well I guess that’s it then, we leave tonight.”
    “What about the New Year’s event?”
    “Everything is covered, I’ve got it all ordered and organized. I’ll get my assistant to finish the loose ends while we’re away,” he said as he walked Ted to the door, shutting it softly behind him.
    Luke stood in his apartment, looking around aimlessly, trying to figure out what he should do. He made his way to the bedroom to pack some clothes, he didn’t plan to be gone long so he packed light. As he continued to pace back and forth, from his cupboard to his suitcase, he felt strange, almost paranoid. He felt like someone was watching him, he stood still for a moment, glancing to each side hoping to catch a glimpse of the intruder. When he saw nothing, he began to relax again figuring his emotions where still uneasy and he had imagined the whole thing.
    He made his way back to the closet pulling out his outfit for the New Year’s party. He figured he may as well have his assistant press it while he was gone. Luke became confused when he heard swarms of bat wings and chirps coming from the fire escape just outside his window. He quickly dropped the clothing in his hands, running toward the window to catch whatever was out there. As he peered out his window, he saw a feminine figure dressed in a long violet dress that flowed freely with the wind. Bats flew around her, following each other as if they were some sort of protection for the woman.
    His body reacted to the sight before him as he took in her familiar crystal blue eyes and her long blond hair braided to one side ended just above her breast. He leaned further out the window hoping she would come closer. His hands held tightly to the window as his claws ripped from his nail beds, digging into the windowsill as he tried to maintain control. His erection pressed against the wall. As quickly as she appeared, she vanished before his eyes.
    Luke found himself blinking furiously, trying to understand what was happening, had he really just seen Faith? He peered down, noticing his body was halfway out the window. The only thing holding him back was his claws buried deep into the wood of the window. He had managed to get himself into a seriously embarrassing situation. He used all his strength but it was no good, his hands where stuck in an awkward position making it hard for him to use his strength to his advantage. “Fuck, I’m stuck halfway out the goddamn window, claws exposed and a massive erection that keeps trying to bang the bloody wall. What the hell is this woman doing to me?”

Chapter Three
     
    A knock at the door woke Luke, he’d fallen asleep waiting for help. He listened as someone turned the handle of the front door and walked in. He was on edge as it was and he didn’t need any unexpected visitors making their way through his home when he was stuck in an embarrassing situation.
    “Luke, you here?” a familiar voice called out.
    “Ted? Is that you?”
    “Yeah, who else would it be? Where you hiding?” he asked as he continued to walk through the house searching for Luke.
    “Study!” Luke replied with frustration.
    Luke turned slightly, waiting to see Ted’s figure. Ted walked through the doorway, his eyes landed on Luke, and a smile formed on his face followed by a loud masculine laugh. Ted quickly gathered himself as he saw the anger form on Luke’s face, he moved closer analyzing the situation. Luke stared out the window as Ted looked closer, leaning down slightly as realization
