“Goddamn, I thought you had all these people checked out,” Craig said angrily.
“I do, and I will get to the bottom of this, you can bet on that,” Evan answered him just as angry.
Craig looked at his friend and knew Evan was as worried as he was. “I’ve got to get back to Rachel. Let me know when you hear anything. I want to know everything, and Kyle should too.”
“No problem, I’ll call both of you as soon as I know anything, anything at all,” he answered, feeling guilty that this was going on under his nose.
Rachel was still sleeping when Craig got back to the room. Wanting to be close to her, he stripped and lay down beside her. Pulling her to him, he lay on his back and watched his woman sleep. Even in sleep she was beautiful.
Rachel woke slightly when she felt Craig crawl into the bed. Snuggling up next to him, she relaxed again and kept her eyes closed. She still could not figure out where she’d seen the man who had given her the note, but she knew he was familiar. She kept going back over all the places she had been in the past few weeks, knowing the answer was there somewhere. It had to be.
It felt good to lie there in Craig’s arms. It was one of the most natural feelings. She had removed her clothes before lying down, so they were both naked. His skin against hers felt warm, making her want to crawl in there with him.
She lifted her head and saw him watching her. She smiled. Moving down and leaning over, she took a small male nipple in her mouth and sucked, hard. She felt his tremor and did the same to the other one. She went back and forth between the two little pebbles until he fisted his hands in her long red hair and pulled her up his body.
“Hey you,” he groaned before taking her mouth with a kiss so hot she could have melted.
“Hey yourself,” she answered breathlessly when he finally let her up for air. “I missed you. I sleep so much better with you here.”
Running his hands down her back to cup her ass, he squeezed both globes and said, “Good to know, lamb, good to know.”
Flipping her onto her back, he crouched over her and took a nipple in his mouth.
“Oohhhh,” she moaned.
“Your turn,” he said against her skin. Working back and forth, he sucked, nipping and nibbling both of her breasts, taking as much of her flesh in his mouth as he could.
“Take me out of my head. I need to remember and I can’t, and it’s driving me nuts. Take me someplace else for a while, please,” she pleaded.
“I know lamb, you are trying so hard to remember that you are driving yourself crazy. Let me help you with that. Hands over your head. Hold on tight, lamb. This is going to be a rough, hard ride, and it’s going to take a while.” He told her chewing on her neck.
“Thank you,” she said quietly. She complied with his instructions. This was what she needed, a good scene with her Master to take her out of her head. She was worried because she hadn’t heard from Tina. Even though she had been sleeping for several hours, she would have heard her phone, so she knew that the woman had not called back. Where could she be?
Chapter Eleven
Rachel was also worried for her friend Jenna, if the men were after her, they were after Jenna too. Luckily Jenna’s bodyguard husband was very protective and had her watched at all times, but Rachel knew Jenna would be worried for herself and her children. Before the men had been caught things had been very tense.
Now they were going through it again. How long would it last this time? Before, they had gone weeks and had to have someone with them at all times. Knowing their men, it would be the same, and now Kyle and Jenna had children to worry about. Kyle was going to be even more overprotective. Craig probably would
be too. Speaking of Craig, he was leaning over her, watching her intently.
“Where’d you go, lamb? I’ve been asking you a question for at least five minutes,” Craig asked, looking concerned.
“Sorry, Master, just in my head. I’ll try to do better.” She apologized. If she wanted to get out of her head, she needed to stay in the here and now and pay attention.
“I think this would be a good time for a punishment. I still owe you one from the other morning, and you definitely just earned another one. You stay right here and don’t move unless you want me to increase the penalty,” Craig commanded roughly.
“Yes, Master, no moving,” she answered worrying her lower lip with her teeth.
“Good girl, I’m going to be right back,” he told her as he leaned down and ran his thumb over her lips, pulling her bottom lip away from her teeth before pressing his own lips to hers in a bruising kiss designed to keep her mind on what would happen next instead of what was going on in the outside world.
Craig didn’t want to leave her, but needed to get a few things from his toy closet if he was going to give her the experience he wanted to. Trying to keep her distracted from her thoughts, he said, “I hope you’re up for what I have planned. Do you need anything before we start? I’m going to take a while with you tonight.” He hoped to get her thinking about what was to come and build some anticipation.
“Maybe I should use the restroom. May I get up, Master?” she asked in her best submissive voice.
“Yes, you have three minutes, then I expect you back in position,” He commanded.
Rachel jumped up and ran for the bathroom to do what she needed in the allotted time. Running back to the bed, she got into position just as Craig turned and came back to her.
