C O N T from @righteoussoldier || Tyler (X)
Tyler had wasted no time securing the room, once she was safely inside. The exits were sealed and blinds had been closed only after a final check out the window just to make sure no one had followed them. For now, they were safe but come morning he planned to get the hell outta’ dodge. He hadn’t meant to stumble upon the girl, or fall into this mess but he was firmly rooted in the centre of it and he couldn’t leave her, not now... not lookin’ at her, lookin’ like that.
Crossing the room, Tyler hooked his Sig Sauer into the back of his cargo pants before kneeling down before her. Hooking two fingers under a delicate chin, he lifted her gaze until it locked onto his own. “You’re safe now, I got you.” Ice blue eyes were unwavering as he spoke, taking in her features- committing them to memory. “No one will hurt you now...” Not with him there.
She had no idea who he was, and yet there was a feeling within her gut that she could absolutely trust him. He seemed as though he had a good heart, given the way he had rushed to her aid despite having never met her before, and ensured that she reached safety without giving it a second thought. She felt a mess, both physically and emotionally, which felt so alien to her given how she so often liked to keep it together, but the princess knew that she was in good hands. That much was clear.
As he lifted her chin, so carefully, she met his gaze and stared back for a few moments. “Who are you?” she asked, one of her hands resting on his other arm as she searched his eyes for answers as to who her mystery saviour was. “You saved my life back there and I don’t even know who you are.”
