“This key, James.” I hold it up for her to see. “This is to your cuff. If you are so desperate to get rid of me, then be the con artist you say you are and take it.” I slide my hand up to the back of her neck and pull her down so that I can kiss her softly. “But if you’re tired of that bullshit, let me take over and handle things.”
“Bennett, I—”
I shake my head to cut her off. “I’m not letting you go, I’m just giving you the choice to come quietly or kicking and screaming.” I press my lips to her and I can feel her smile against me. “You can steal that key and take off your cuff, it might even be fun to track you down and put it on again. Or you can say yes to the ring I’ve got on your finger and tell me you’re mine.”
She stills, glancing at the ring and then back to me.
“Oh yeah, it’s that kind of ring.” I move her hips again, and the feel of her tight pussy grips me with every thrust.
“Yes,” she moans when my thumb grazes her clit and I’m not sure if she means yes to me or the pleasure I’m giving her. I guess there’s time to clarify when I’m not balls deep inside her.
Her cunt is dripping and I can hear her fucking me over the sound of the music. It’s dirty in here, but somehow it makes this hot as fuck. She’s riding my dick like I’ve got hundreds of bills to stuff into her panties and I would if she asked me to.
Her body tenses on top of me, but I don’t let up as she cries out and her orgasm hits. She climaxes on me and I slam her down one last time, grunting my release into her. It’s messy and quick, but I want to do it all over again the second I’m finished. I don’t know that I’ll ever get enough of her.
She falls against my chest as I try and catch my breath and I hold her close as I kiss the top of her head. We sit like that for a long moment with me just being inside her. I don’t want to separate us or move from this spot, but I wish we could somehow magically be in our bed back home.
I’m not sure how much time passes before she leans back to look at me. But when I see her holding the key in her hand there’s both pain and irritation inside me. I want to snatch it out of her hand, but this has to be her choice. I’ll make her change her mind and I’ll stop at nothing to get what I want in the end, but she has to make the decision first.
“So?” I say as I look at the key and cuff before I look into her eyes. “What will it be?”
She bites her bottom lip and closes her hand around the key. Just when I’m about to open my mouth to protest she holds out her fist towards me and opens her hand. She drops the key into my palm and I manage to catch it before it hits the ground.
“I want you, Bennett.” She shrugs and for some reason she looks so innocent. “I don’t know what this is or why it makes me feel so good, but I know that when I’m with you I’ve never felt more cherished and cared for.”
“That’s because you’re my world,” I say, pulling her closer to me to kiss her.
Chapter 13
JAMES
“Do we have to do this now?” Bennett asks as he holds me closer.
“Yes, we do.” I smile at him and he gives me a quick kiss. “Bradford helped me out when I needed it most. I owe him that much. Besides, I already sent him a text and said I was on my way.”
“Alright, I want a quick in and out, because I need another quick in and out.”
I laugh as he buries his face in my neck and growls. “With you it’s never quick.”
“You don’t seem to mind when you’re getting multiple orgasms,” he says, and I feel myself blush.
“That’s true,” I admit just as the car comes to a stop.
Bennett gets out and opens the door for me. He helps me out, and when I step onto the street I realize this is the exact spot where he ran into me the first time we met. As if he realizes it as well, he pulls me into his arms and kisses me. He leans me back in his arms, and when he pulls away I look up at him.
“That’s what I wanted to do the first time I had you in my arms.” He looks at me with so many emotions that I feel deep inside my heart.
I want to tell him everything I’m feeling and confess that even though this is crazy early, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. But will it scare him away? Will anything?
He pulls me close and then hand in hand we walk towards Bradford’s office. Once we’re inside we see a man at the front door that I’ve seen around a couple of times. Bennett stops and says hello to him. Knowing what I do about the people who work for Bradford, I don’t want to hang around. I let go of Bennett’s hand and point to Bradford’s door that’s just ahead. He glances at me and then nods as the guy keeps talking to him.
Bradford’s door is ajar and I push on it and step inside. When I glance around I see that Bradford’s desk is empty and I go to turn around and leave, but the door is shut. A chill runs down my spine when I see Josh standing there with an evil look in his eyes. I’ve never been in a room alone with him and thankfully Bradford has always been close by, but this time there’s no one else in sight and I’m pretty sure that door is soundproof.
“Bradford said you were on your way. He got caught up with his mom and told me to tell you he was coming.” He licks his lips as he takes a step towards me. “I thought we could have a little alone time together before I text him and tell him you made it.”
“Stay away from me,” I say, walking backwards until I bump into Bradford’s desk.
I grip the edge of it and think back to all the weapons Bradford probably has in there. Would I be able to get around to the other side before he grabbed me? I’m quick and even quicker when I’m scared.
“Don’t even think about,” Josh warns, reading my mind.
He stalks closer and flexes his fingers like he can’t wait to get his hands on me. It’s sinister and my fear is taking hold. My throat closes up and I can’t move as he plants his feet in front of me and reaches out.
Just before his hands make contact the door bursts open. It’s Bennett with Bradford hot on his heels. The two men look deadly as Josh moves to the side pretending to be cool about the whole thing. He casually leans against the desk beside me, like he wasn’t just about to hurt me, while I run straight into Bennett’s arms.
“Oh thank god,” I gasp. My nose is burning and tears threaten to break free. It was only for a few minutes, but it felt like hours of fear as the relief of being wrapped around him hits me.
“It’s okay, I’ve got you,” Bennett says soothingly, and I look over to see Bradford stalking towards Josh.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” he asks, grabbing Josh by the throat and pinning him to the wall.
Bradford is an older man, but he’s big and strong. Josh’s feet are dangling off the floor as he offers up some bullshit excuse like I wanted it. Bradford only squeezes his neck harder and I feel Bennett release me and push me behind him.
“Get her out
of here,” Bradford orders, looking over at Bennett.
“I think I’d like to handle this myself,” Bennett says, and it’s then I realize he’s shaking with rage.
Bradford shakes his head and looks over at me. “She’s been through enough in her life and I promised myself a long time ago I’d keep her from as much darkness as I could. I’ll take care of this, and he won’t ever lay a hand on anyone ever again.”
Bennett looks at Josh and then back at me, and I can see the internal struggle within him. He wants to be the one to give out the punishment, but he also doesn't want this to touch me. He thinks about it for only a second before he nods at Bradford and then he wraps an arm around my waist.
“Take care of her, and make sure I still get to see her at my ma’s house for dinner a few nights a week,” Bradford says, and he gives me a wink.
“I’ll do it,” Bennett agrees, and we walk out of the office, leaving Bradford alone with Josh.
I’ve never been certain about what Bradford is capable of, but right now if I had to guess, I’d say that Josh is going to disappear and will never be seen again. Honestly there’s a terrifying evil inside of Josh. I won’t lose a bit of sleep if Bradford takes him out.
“Let’s get out of here,” Bennett says as he scoops me up in his arms and rushes me out to the waiting car.
Once we’re inside he holds me in his lap and kisses me all over like he’s reminding himself that I’m okay.
“If anything had happened to you…” He shakes his head, unable to finish that thought.
“Shh. I’m okay. You got to me in time,” I say and place my hand on his cheek.
“I love you so much, James. I can’t ever lose you.”
His words warm my entire body and it’s everything I’ve felt in my heart that I’ve been scared to say out loud.
“I love you, too, Bennett.” I wrap my arms around him and pull him close to me. “I’m not going anywhere ever again.”
