Daddy's Rich Enemy
Page 47
Inside the courtroom, I see my mother in a black suit and a fascinator with a veil, like she’s at a funeral. She locks eyes with me and for a moment I think she’s going to come up and say something. But the moment passes and I feel the icy chill of her gaze from all the way across the room.
“Don’t think about her,” Dane growls in my ear. He guides me to a seat a few rows back.
It all seems to happen quickly. My father is led out in handcuffs and a loud suit that I don’t recognize. Surprisingly, he’s grinning like an idiot as he takes his place next to his lawyers. He glances around the courtroom, showing no sign of recognition as his eyes pass over me and Dane.
The judge slams his gavel down and Dane squeezes my hand. When the courtroom falls silent, the judge gets to his feet and clears his throat.
“The defendant, James Earl Carter, entered a plea of guilty before this court on September 6th.”
The room is so quiet that I can hear the blood pounding in my ears. A bead of nervous sweat trickles down my neck and I shiver, scooting closer to Dane on the hard wooden bench.
“Today, I’m sentencing the defendant to ten years in a Federal penitentiary, as well ordering the defendant to pay a fine of five hundred thousand dollars.”
As the words are spoken, I watch my father’s face. His grin slowly fades, and suddenly I realize that even now, he was hoping for a way out of this. It almost scares me to see how delusional he is.
“Let’s go,” I whisper to Dane. Without a word, he puts an arm around me and guides me out of the room. As soon as we’re in the large hall, I take a huge breath and sigh with relief.
“Are you okay?”
I nod. “I am now.”
Dane narrows his eyes and peers critically into my face. “Baby girl, let’s get you home.”
I nod. Suddenly, I’m overcome with a feeling of exhaustion.
“That sounds good,” I reply gratefully.
Dane hustles me down the steps. Hanson is waiting for us and as soon as Dane and I are tucked inside the back of the limo, he speeds off.
“It’s funny,” I say slowly, rolling the words in my mouth like marbles. “In a way, I feel really bad.”
“Allie, you did nothing wrong,” Dane says fiercely.
I shake my head. “No, not because of anything I did,” I reply. “Because my father is too stupid to prioritize the truly important things in life. He could have had a great family. But he chose money instead.”
Dane nods. “Yes,” he says solemnly. “And for you to realize that at such a young age is a sign of great maturity, Allie. I’m proud of you.”
When Hanson drops us off at home, Dane kicks off his shoes and pulls me into his arms. I can tell by the way he’s holding me that he wants more, but he’s clearly holding back. I tilt my head back and press my lips to his.
“Allie, we shouldn’t,” Dane says. “Not right now.”
“I’ve never wanted you as much as I do in this moment,” I whisper.
Dane tangles his hands in my hair and yanks my head back before planting a searing line of kisses on my chin and jaw. I shiver a
nd moan with anticipation as he drops to his knees and presses his face into my cleavage. When I feel his tongue on my breasts, I shiver and drop to the floor.
“God,” Dane grunts. He rips my dress from my body, tossing the discarded material to the side. Before I can move, he yanks my panties down and pushes me over so I’m lying on my belly. A shiver of lust crawls down my spine and I gasp when I feel Dane’s hand slipping into the crack of my ass.
“I want you to take me,” I gasp breathlessly.
Dane growls in response. He crawls on top of me, straddling my ass with his hips. When I feel his teeth biting the back of my neck, I moan softly into the floor. I love it when Dane takes me like this – it’s raw and sensual, like we’re animals who can’t control our basest urges.
Dane sits up and I hear the sound of his belt unbuckling. With a soft whoosh, I know his pants are down. He rubs his hard cock in the crack of my ass and I arch my back, pushing my hips towards Dane’s stiff member. My pussy throbs in anticipation of him sliding deep inside and my clit is begging for attention, but Dane keeps thrusting between my ass cheeks.
“Fuck me,” I moan, craning my neck and turning to look at Dane. “I need you!”
Dane scoots back and slides a rough hand between my thighs. He shoves two fingers inside my pussy and I gasp. Electric thrills tingle all over my body and I shiver impatiently as his fingers inch closer to my pulsing clit. When his thumb brushes over my love button, I gasp loudly and buck my hips.
