CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
KAGE
Two Weeks Later…
“I got you some maternity clothes. Get dressed, because I’m taking you somewhere.”
Her expression turns from surprise to amusement, and I have no idea what I did, but I decide it must’ve been good, when I’m rewarded with her genuine laughter.
“I’m barely pregnant. I don’t need maternity clothes.”
Alright, I’ll admit it. I barely know anything about women in general, and I know nothing about the pregnant ones.
“Well, you have them now. If you need anything else, please tell me. Now get ready.”
“Where are we going?”
I can’t help the goofy fucking grin that takes over my face as I stare at her, actually looking into my eyes. Fucking progress.
“On a date.”
Raina goes for a serious expression, but it turns into laughter that I think melts my fucking black heart.
“I think you’re supposed to do that before knocking the woman up.”
As if she spots the hope in my gaze, she takes it away.
“I mean, yes, sir. Your captive will get ready as instructed.”
Fuck. I want to spank her beautiful ass when she says shit like that, but I know better.
I take a deep breath to try to talk my cock into chilling the fuck out, and walk to the door.
“I’ll wait downstairs.”
My brothers are off killing an employee. Yet another fucking asshole that thinks stealing from the Bonettis is a good plan. They never learn. Bones said they could handle it without me, when I told him my plans for Raina. I said thank you, to which he responded, ‘don’t fuck it up’. The problem is I always fuck it up, especially with her. I have fucked a lot of women, but I’ve dated none. I’m still not sure what they want, so I thought long and hard about Raina specifically. Bella told me she had a flower garden at her home with her parents. So we’ll start with that, and hopefully I figure out the rest as I go. Bella, Athena, and Raina have started a group chat on their phones, and they’ve gotten to know each other well. I’m not allowed to know exactly what’s said, but Bella did tell me that, more than anything, Raina wants to be treated like she matters.
Well, fuck, that should be easy, because there’s nothing, and no one, that matters more than she does.
I turn around and find her staring at me, with a blush to her beautiful pale cheeks, looking fucking stunning. She’s wearing a white sundress, now that it’s getting warmer, and her hair is partially up, showing off her beautiful neck. Her makeup is minimal, which is exactly how I prefer it.
“I’m ready, Master.”
Rubbing at my temples, I groan, because she’s turning me into my fucking always irritated brother.
“I’m trying really hard to go at your pace, Firecracker. Every time you run that smart mouth, I want to either fill it with my cock, or bend you over and spank your ass, until your skin matches your beautiful hair. As we both know, my control is rather lacking with you, so maybe behave.”
She tilts her head to the side, as her lips turn up into a devious little grin.
“Ahh, there he is. I was very concerned.”
“Concerned?” I repeat her word, not knowing what she’s talking about.
Raina pulls her bottom lip between her teeth before she smiles, and fuck, it nearly knocks me over.
“I was getting ready to call Mulder and Scully.”
Who and who? What the fuck is she talking about?
She starts laughing and, while I know it’s at my expense, I don’t mind it.
“From the X-Files. I was worried the aliens came and stole you, and put some Kage imposter in your place.”
“Still here,” I say as I file away information to look into later. I need to find out about this X-Files, because I still genuinely don’t know what the hell she’s talking about. And aliens?
I shake my head in confusion, but let it go.
“Ready?”
Reaching out my hand, she takes it, and I pull her hand up to my lips and kiss it softly.
We walk outside and Tank has my car sitting near the entrance as instructed.
“Hey, Hulk,” she says, and he blushes and turns away instantly.
I narrow my gaze at her.
“I said, behave. How the fuck you have my giant security guy blushing like a goddamn fourth grader, I don’t know. Unless you want to see another head on the coffee table, you should do as you’re told.”
I close her door after she gets into my Spyder, walk around to the other side, and get in.
“Are you trying to make me lose control?” I ask as I drive off the property.
She glances at me before turning her gaze out the window.
“No. Maybe I’m curious how far you’ll take this good guy act, Kage. This personality change is not what I expected.”
Raina is quiet for a minute before whispering, “Or what I wanted.”
And just like that, my control snaps like a fucking twig.
I pull the car over and put it in park.
“I’m trying, Raina. What the fuck do you want from me?”
She glares at me in frustration, opens the door, and gets out of the car. I scramble out after her, because I don’t know what’s happening. My heart races, as I wonder if she’s trying to run from me.
“Tell me. What do you want? I’m trying real hard to figure it out, but I’m obviously missing something.”
Raina turns to me, and places her hands on her hips.
“I want it to be real, Lorenzo.”
She said my name, and suddenly I can barely fucking breathe.
“My problem wasn’t the man you are. I want a man that will take me when he wants me. Just not chained up, and saying I’m nothing but his whore. Don’t you get that? Oh, and maybe not a shock collar, because really, that’s not my kink.”
Stepping over to her, I take her face in my hands and tilt her head back.
“You were never my whore. Even when I said it, I knew I was a liar.”
I slide my hands from her face to the back of her neck, and hold her in place, as I thoroughly enjoy the way her breathing increases to nearly a pant. My eyes drop to her lips, as I crave the softness. She may push me away, but I have to taste her again.
Pressing my lips to hers, I kiss her slowly and she seems stunned at first, but then kisses me back. She reaches her hands up and grips my shoulders, as I push my tongue into her mouth. I break our kiss by pulling her hair, and run my tongue all over her neck. Fuck, I missed the taste of her skin. It’s sweet, and smells almost like a combination of fruit and flowers.
“I said I would wait until you told me you wanted me, but I can’t. I need you, Firecracker.”
Lifting her into my arms, I carry her back to the car and lay her on the hood.
I unzip my pants and she looks around us, as if she’s afraid someone might see us, but right now I don’t care.
Pushing her dress up, I grab her thighs and pull her down, so she’s at the right angle, and pull her panties to the side.
“If you don’t want this, now would be the time to tell me.”
She doesn’t respond, so I push inside her with a groan. Fuck. Raina always feels fucking amazing, but this is better than before.
“Lorenzo,” she whimpers as I move inside her, and it’s like music to my fucking ears. Raina wraps her arms around my neck, and legs around my waist, as she runs her fingers through my hair.
“Finally,” she moans.
I pinch her nipple through her dress, as she tilts her head back, and her pussy clenches around my cock, making me groan.
“Do that again.”
Her lips pull up into a seductive grin.
“Are you making me do all the work?”
Leaning down, I pull her bottom lip between my teeth with a growl.
“Am I not fucking you good enough, Firecracker?”
I pick up my pace and rail her, as she screams my name.
“That’s my girl. Taking my cock like it was fucking made for you.”
She looks gorgeous on the hood of my car. There’s something about the way her bright red hair looks against the black paint, the white dress pulled over her hips, and her green eyes blazing with desire.
Her eyes roll back into her head as she cries out again, with my name falling from her lips. The second I found her trying to hide from me, I knew I wanted her. It wasn’t just because she’s beautiful, although she is. It was more than that, the fire in her gaze. One look and I knew my thought that I craved submission was a fucking lie. What I crave is her. My pretty little firecracker.
