Chapter 27

CHARLOTTE
L ast night's events were somewhat of a blur, yet memorable. I couldn’t believe he actually did it for me, and my stomach fluttered at the thought. I felt it today though as I sat up with a groan noticing Rowan wasn't beside me, the lingering smell of pancakes swirled around me; leading me to jump out of bed with a slight gasp. I figured there would be some repercussions from last night, but it was worth it.
Following the wonderful scent brought me into the kitchen where Roe sat at the stove cracking an egg, whistling.
“Shit, I lost some shell.” He muttered under his breath.
Leaning against the doorway, I watched as he was just...being himself, and I didn’t think I could love him any more than I do now. This moment would be etched in my brain forever. I’d accepted our loss and that it might be hard trying again, between my reproductive issues and the lifestyle I lived, but I also hadn't had anyone that I thought about taking that step with. And I wanted to, with Rowan, nothing would bring me more joy than to have a family with the man standing in front of me, or at least try.
Rowan appeared in front of me, and it pulled me out of my daydream.
“You aren’t supposed to be awake Princess, I was bringing you breakfast in bed.” he said, peering down at me.
“Sorry I ruined the surprise.” I replied with a sheepish smile. “Do you need any help?”
He placed a kiss on my forehead and smiled. “Yes, it would be very helpful if you remove yourself from the kitchen so I can finish.”
I laughed as he swatted my ass with the towel that was previously draped over his shoulder.
“Fine,” I mumbled, grabbing a book from the shelf and curling up on the couch.
Roe had this whole new aura about him, maybe it was attributed to last night, but I know as soon as we go back, he would revert to the Rowan he had to be. What if it doesn't have to be this way? I grabbed the plate from him as he took a seat next to me.
“What if we stayed here?” I blurted out.
This would be an amazing home for us, even if it ended up just being us. I was confident I could always go back and forth when my men needed me, and with so much technology, it was easy to continue to modernize; it allowed me to do more than the traditional ways of my Father. We could live our life and remain safe, and I could still be the leader of the organization. He was dead silent, looking down at his plate in thought, before looking up at me sadly.
“I wish we could, Lottie, but we have responsibilities.” He placed the plate on the coffee table, doing the same with mine before pulling me in his lap and we sat there. It was a stupid idea anyway.
“If you can be patient, I have the ball rolling on a few projects, okay? And you will love them. I promise, but we can come here whenever you need.”
I placed my hands on his concentrated face, and I could tell he had a plan by the small smirk that appeared on his face.
“I love you.” I whispered before bringing my lips to his in a gentle, passionate kiss.
Rowan
“I don’t trust it,” I said, shaking my head. “If it wasn’t a setup, then why would he need everyone there, not to mention he wants to meet on Walker territory.”
I looked into the faces of the closest people to Charlotte in one room. I didn’t care who they were or what they thought they knew, I knew how the Walkers worked, and this spelled trap from a mile away; those who thought differently were idiots. I gave her a bewildered look, this was the problem, I needed her to see reason and trust her own judgment, and not make them based on what others thought she should do. Surprised was an understatement when she locked eyes with me and asked for my opinion.
“Roe, what do you suggest we do, in the event this is a trap?”
I sat back in my seat and my tongue prodded at the inside of my cheek, thinking about my answer carefully.
“First, we need to find out why he wants to meet up and figure out why he couldn’t do it as you did, not that I would want you in that manor anyway.” My voice drifted toward the end of the sentence. “Then find out who he's bringing, so we can choose who we bring accordingly.”
We only had a short amount of time to plan this out and I wanted to make sure she was ready, knowing them, it could end in a blood bath, and I wasn't too keen on losing her if that happened.
“Finally, you execute, I say we have a few good men on the rooftops keeping watch, alerting your connections within the police force, and maybe even have Arthur and his men sneak into the manor and free those captives. In the basement there's a grate, under a carpet, go down there, you will find what you're looking for. I can get you a layout if needed, but I won’t go back there.”
I sat up straight but stayed silent. I knew the information just given would raise a lot of questions, and it was possible Charlotte's judgment might be put into question as well. Thomas and Arthur were the only ones that knew of it, aside from Lottie. Of course, the Carrot had to be the one to speak up, I still didn’t fully trust his story, but Charlotte did; and I trusted her.
“So, how do you know all of this kid?”? The old man spoke up.
“Rowan,” Charlotte said quietly. “You don’t have to answer that.”
Charlie scoffed at her and stood up pointing at me, and I stood up smacking his hand out of my face.
“Because I used to work for them, now sit down and let me explain or get the fuck out.” He didn’t move keeping his eye on me, there was no reason for all this animosity; we all wanted the same thing. Lottie to be safe, and the sanctity of the business.
“Those bodies that have been turning up, Carrot! You can thank me, so sit the fuck down!” I yelled.
The blood rushed to my head and my temple throbbed, but I kept my eyes on him until he slunk down into his chair like a good little bitch.
“Like I was saying, if Joshua and Charlotte were only discussing territory, there is no reason to do so at the docks. There's an ulterior motive, and we need to figure it out.”
Charlotte crossed her legs and folded her hands at the head of the table and nodded. “Rowan’s right, we can't go into this blind, there's too many lives at risk. Start researching the docks, I want to know where we can place people, get in touch with Nikki, her family can help, she said she couldn’t make it today. Bring all information to me, in the meantime, I’ll accept the meeting and get a date from Joshua. Dismissed.”
Once everybody left, I planned to apologize, I should have kept my anger in check, I ran my hand over my face with a sigh as she moved to the door flipping the lock, and I swallowed nervously.
“Charlotte, I’m sorry I–”
“Quiet. You were bad today, weren't you?” She said seductively, appearing behind me to loosen my tie. Sliding the knot down past my torso and pulling it over my head before running her hand down my chest. A guttural moan left my lips as she used it to tie my hands around the back of the chair.
“Princess, I need to recover from a couple days ago.” I chuckled. “Don’t be naughty.”
She smiled devilishly making her way around to my front and said, “You created this monster, so you're going to take it. Do you know why?” she asked, lowering?the zipper of my pants, freeing my cock, and I shook my head bucking my hips to feel any sort of friction as her hand wrapped around me.
“Because deep down Rowan, you want to be controlled,” I gasped. She was using my own words against me, but it rang true. I’d let this woman completely dominate me just as she let me do to her.
“I’ll agree if you just touch me, please,” I begged feverishly. “Suck it, rub it, just please do something.”
Her tongue licked up my shaft, twirling around my tip. It wasn’t enough, I needed her whole mouth wrapped around me… fuck . Fuck.
“What do you say?” She said through her long eyelashes.
“Sh–h–hit please Lottie, suck my cock, I need it down your hot throat.”
I closed my eyes and tilted my head back feeling the warm wetness of her mouth reach the tip of my dick and slide down slowly until I hit the back of her throat. She's so good at this shit . She moved up and down rhythmically and a whimper fell from my lips when she released me with a pop .
“You say yes, Princess, thank you, Princess. You have manners or you don’t come at all.”? I locked eyes with her and they were glazed over with lust. My eyes narrowed and I scoffed.
Shrugging her shoulders, she wiped her hand on her skirt with a sly smile.
“Fine, go ahead and take care of yourself then.” The way her eyes darkened only drove me to want to please her. Right now she wanted submission, and I was in no position to decline.
“Please Princess, keep going,” I said in a sultry voice. “I’ll be a good boy.”
Lottie’s?mouth returned to me, and I lost it. Right now, the only thing that mattered to me was that my cock was being stroked and sucked by the most beautiful, sinful woman.
“Oh…Fuck” I moaned out as she reached out taking my balls in her palm. She’s going to pay for teasing me like this, but it feels so fucking good.
Charlotte started moving faster caressing my sack, giving it a little squeeze as she continued to take my dick down her throat, and I gave another whimper, it was a pleasurable pain. I’m so close .
My breathing was erratic and I felt her smile around me. She was waiting for the words, so I swallowed my pride and gave them to her.
“Can I come, Princess?” I whimpered.
She nodded her head and moved faster, a bead of sweat trailed down my face as the heat of the room encased me. I moved my hips in time with her mouth and my whole body tensed as I exploded, shooting my load down her throat. My body shuddered when Lottie ran her thumb across her pouting lips.
“Good boy,” she said breathlessly as she moved to undo my tie, freeing my arms.
