Chapter 9
CHAPTER 9
FRANCI
I was all ready to jump in bed with him and then he changed the direction. Part of me is relieved he’s giving me time. I explore the house and find two other bedrooms. One is empty, while the other is decorated in soft greens with a crib waiting. I stand there, thinking of everything he’s done for me. How much he wants this. I know I should be upset and angry with him, but I can’t seem to find the anger. I’m actually turned on by it all. In the office, I find charts and books on sharks, along with several of my textbooks for the upcoming semester.
I’m standing in the living room, where the coffee table is overflowing with presents. I don’t open them but take in each one, all addressed to me from Gavin. Not Gambit. Gavin.
“I wanted to get you, but you were with Erika and Gray, so I didn’t kidnap you from there. I decided to give you the holiday with your family. Then I was going to come get you earlier today, but we got some information, and I’ve been processing it.” His voice breaks me out of my thoughts, and I turn to see him standing there.
“What did you have to process?”
“We found out today that Roger Thant, the man who led the unit that broke into your family’s home, had a friend of ours killed.”
“Deere.” I know the name. Ley told me all about him.
“Yes,” he says.
“How?”
“He had one of his men kill him. We thought it was a villager who got a lucky shot, but it was a sniper kill.”
“And?” I need to know it all.
“After he was killed, not only was Rogue farmed out, but all of us were. Commander was moved to a new command. Striker went to a unit helping in the Middle East. I don’t know where the others went because most of us don’t like to talk about it. We were used for our skills.” He pauses, and I watch as he fidgets, shifting from foot to foot, nervous for the first time tonight. I know it bothered him how low he stooped to make sure I wasn’t on birth control, but this is different. “I was given to an organization that worked with intelligence. I was sent in to kill people when snipers couldn’t or other means didn’t work. I’m a murderer. My soul is as black as night, and I feel like I became what my father said I would become.”
I’m across the room, running for him. I jump, and he pulls me into his arms. I’m only in the T-shirt he had on earlier—no panties, nothing but the shirt.
“You are not a murderer. You were doing what the government told you to do. I love you, Gavin.” I kiss his face all over and feel his body relax as he starts moving. I’m not surprised to find myself lying with my back on the bed next.
He pulls me to the edge of the bed and flips up the shirt. He dives in and starts eating me out like a starved man. I grip his hair and hold on as he drives a finger into my body. I feel the orgasm fluttering on the edge, but he pulls away and stands up to strip out of his clothes again. This time he lowers his boxers, and I see that cock again. I’ve dreamed about it. Even with the drugs in my system, I remember what we did. I think it’s because I only had a few sips before he rescued me. I run my eyes over the tattoos that line his body, wanting to lick and kiss them all. Then he lifts me up and pushes me to the head of the bed.
“When you squirt your pussy juice this time, I’m going to take you hard. Are you ready?”
“Yes,” I moan as he drops between my spread thighs again and starts ramping me up.
My body bows as he sucks my clit in deep. He licks, bites, sucks, and two fingers enter me this time. I’m so full, and I know it’s not even half of what his cock is going to feel like. He works me up to that cliff, and I’m there, but he pulls back again, and I scream in frustration.
“Fucking Gavin, give me it,” I yell, and I’m flipped over.
He spanks my cheeks, and my clit throbs harder. My body is on fire. My nipples hurt; they are so turgid and ache. I want him so bad that I start begging.
“No cussing,” he growls before he bites my butt cheek, and I climb into the stratosphere, ready to explode.
He flips me back over, and this time, he fucks me with his tongue and plays with my clit with his nose. I don’t think I can take any more, but then he sucks my clit, flicking his tongue over it. I scream as I come, and he’s waiting as I squirt into his mouth.
Gambit
I can’t stop myself. I clean her up, sucking as much of her juices into me as I can. I need her taste on my tongue. She’s climbing up again as her back bows and she keens. I rise above her and wipe my face with the back of my hand. I notch my cock at her entrance, and in a long, slow glide, I push all the way in, not stopping. I hate hurting her, but I know that if I took it too easy on her, it would make it worse. When I’m fully inside her, I can feel her cervix, and it causes the beast inside me to take over. I pull out and slam back in, and she cries out.
“Hold the headboard, jellyfish,” I tell her, and she reaches up.
I lean down and suck a nipple into my mouth, biting it before I move to the other as I move in and out of her.
I lift her legs over my arms and take her deeper, slipping inside so deep my eyes start to roll back from the tight constraint, and she is moaning and thrashing below me. I pull out and push back in just as deep. Her pussy is starting to pulse around me, and I know I won’t be able to stop from coming too. I’ve wanted this for so long.
I look down to where my cock is pushing in and out of her, and I see her sweet nectar and a tinge of pink. I pump harder, and she cries out as she orgasms, screaming my name. I bellow hers as I bury myself to the hilt against her cervix and give her everything I have. I come so hard my legs shake and my arms threaten to give out. I roll us as I’m still pulsing inside her body. She’s on top of me now, lying across me like a starfish all worn out.
I wait until I know I’ll be able to hold myself up and kiss her deep before I roll us again and pull out. I make my way to the bathroom, plug the tub, and pour in some of her favorite lavender bubble bath before heading back to get her. She’s almost asleep, but I know she needs this after how hard I took her.
We both sigh when I settle us in the water and flip the faucets off. She leans into my body, and I hold her against me. My phone starts ringing, but I ignore it until it goes off again.
“Stay here, jellyfish, I’ll be right back.” I get out of the tub, grab a towel off the heated rack, and head toward the room where my phone is on the nightstand. “Yeah,” I bark, pissed that we were interrupted.
“It was a setup. Leif and Rogue have both been shot. Leif might not make it, man.” Browser’s voice cracks. “I tried to stop the bleeding. It was like Deere,” he continues. “Commander says, ‘All hands on deck.’ Go get your man.”
“How bad is Rogue?”
“She’s in pain and hurting but cussing and complaining. Leif is in surgery.”
“I’ll secure Franclynn and head out.”
“Okay.”
I hang up and drop my head. I say a silent prayer to a God that I know shouldn’t help me that my friends live through this.
“Is everything okay?” I hear her voice and turn to see her standing there. I can’t lie to her again.
“I’m going to have to leave. There was an incident, and both Leif and Rogue were shot.”
“What? Let me get dressed.” Franci moves to her clothes.
“No, baby. You have to stay here. I need to know you are safe so I can do what I’m trained to do.”
“I need to get to the hospital so I can be there with Ley. I wasn’t there the last time, and I need to be there this time.” She sobs. “I have to, Gavin.”
“You can’t. You have to stay here. They are out there looking for you now.”
“Then use me as bait to get them out in the open.”
I stomp toward her. “Never. You could be carrying our baby right now, so I’m not letting you out there. Give me some time, and I’ll be back for you.”
“You promise?”
“I do.” I kiss her long and deep and help her into bed before I get dressed.
I look down and watch as she restlessly moves, trying to relax. I hand her the glass of water in my hand and don’t tell her I crushed one of her sleeping pills into it. I need to make sure she’s safe. I already checked that it would be safe for her to take if I by chance knocked her up the one time we made love.
She takes the cup and drinks it all down, unaware of what I’ve done.
“I love you,” I tell her as I kiss her softly.
She realizes what I did as she starts to drift off as I finish getting ready.
“Gavin,” she says my name drowsily, and her lids close.
I walk out, knowing I’ll scorch this earth for her.
