Chapter 7 Rick
RICK
It feels like steam is rising from my body, that’s how hot with anger I am as I storm up the lawn toward the door of the house.
Ava’s in there. But not for long.
It was hard enough watching Berry holding her hand as he walked with her, putting on a phony show like they’re a happy couple. It almost made me feel like I could lose her.
Berry’s a connected guy. A wealthy bastard. Going up against him is a risk, but it’s one I’m more than willing to take. In fact, I don’t even have a choice.
I thought I’d be able to wait for her until she came outside.
But I was wrong.
I need to get her out of there now.
My fists clench at my sides as I gasp short, burning breaths. My pulse is racing. Adrenaline rapidly shoots through me.
There she is…
Sitting on the couch, her green eyes wide with surprise. She didn’t expect me to be here. Probably didn’t even suspect I could find her. But she should have.
After all, I’ve gotten quite used to stalking her...
Suddenly, she stands and races toward the door. Just as I’m reaching for the handle, it opens and she steps out, closing it behind her.
I snatch her into my arms, kissing her with a furious passion. She kisses me back, but then quickly pulls away and grabs me by the hand. She drags me into the shadows, out of view of anyone inside.
“Rick! What are you doing here!?” she whispers. Her face is still shocked, but she’s also smiling—and blushing.
“I woke up thinking about you, baby,” I growl, hot all over. I’m a man possessed, smitten by her beauty. And not just outside but inside too.
“So did I!” She giggles, fawning all over me. “But…how did you find me?”
“Come on, baby.” I smirk. “What have I been doing for the last two months?”
Her blush deepens. My eyes scour the dress that hugs her curves. She looks like an absolute bombshell in it, but knowing Berry bought it for her, all I want to do is tear it to pieces.
“You’re so sexy,” she says softly, eyeing me as if she’s almost embarrassed.
“That’s my line.”
My cock aching, I slide my hand up her leg and beneath the hem of her dress. A moan slips from her lips as I reach up into the warmth, searching for her pussy. Her pussy that belongs to me now.
Her arousal wets my fingertips, and I’m just about to lose control when she grabs my wrist.
“I—I should get back inside,” she says. Her face is tight, like it took all her strength to get the words out.
I nod. I get it. She’s here on Berry’s command. That clown needs her tonight to improve his image, and she’s afraid of what will happen if she steps out of line.
So far, all of our little games have taken place when he was away or she was able to sneak out for a while.
But that changes now.
“Well, you can forget about that,” I reply, grabbing her hand and pulling her across the lawn to the tree where I parked my bike.
“What—what are you doing, Rick!?”
“What do you think?” I ask, flashing a grin at her. “I’m kidnapping you, baby.”
Hey eyes gleam back as the understanding rocks her, but she still protests.
“But Berry—”
“To hell with Berry!” I snort, throwing one leg over the bike. “He doesn’t own you, does he?”
She pauses. “I mean…”
“Does he!?” I repeat.
I watch her eyes as it clicks. She finally gets it, and her lips twist adorably. “No.” She shakes her head.
“Who does own you?”
She’s blushing so hard her cheeks are red as a ripe apple. She points a cute little finger at me. “You do.”
“Goddamn right I do.” I spank her on the ass, causing her to jump with glee, then tug her onto the bike behind me.
Her dress slides up, revealing the sexy curves of her thighs and ass. My mouth waters, but jealousy instantly fills every fiber of my body.
Other men could see her…
Good thing it’s getting dark out and I drive fast. I’ll have her back at my place before anyone can get a glimpse of her flawless physique.
“Put this on,” I tell her, handing her my helmet. “Wrap your arms around me, and hold on tight.”
I rev the engine as her arms slip around my waist. There’s a noise behind me, and I look back over my shoulder to see Berry standing at the door, glaring over at us.
He shouts something, but my bike’s engine drowns out the sound of his voice.
Smiling, I throw him the finger, then speed off down the road, his ‘wife’ hanging on to me for protection. For all the joy she knows I can bring her that he never could.
I feel like a goddamn king as I tear down the streets, taking the turns safely, keeping my eye on the road.
I have an angel riding with me tonight. My angel.
My life has definitely changed since we met back at that bar two months ago. I knew it would, but I never could have anticipated this.
As my own boss, I thought I controlled my life. As it turns out, she controls me.
“You’re a good driver,” she says in my ear. “It’s hot.”
All I can do is grin. This is it. This is the life. It was only pretend before, but now it’s for real.
She’s never going back to him. Not on my watch.
I don’t care what I have to do to keep her. I’ll sell my goddamn business, take her out of state, and start all over if I have to.
The only important thing in my life now is her—her and keeping her safe.
When we get back to my place, I park and lift her into my arms. She giggles as I carry her, kissing my neck, turning me on even more.
Which I didn’t think was possible…
But when I set her down in the foyer, she races past me to the door, as if she’s trying to escape.
“Whoa, where do you think you’re going?” I ask, snatching her back up. She laughs harder, play-fighting against me with her fists.
They glance off of me like cotton balls. She couldn’t hurt me if she tried, and she knows it. No, this is just part of our game.
“I have to get back to my husband—” she protests, but I clamp a palm over her lips, shutting her up.
“Let’s get one thing straight,” I growl, glaring into her eyes. “You may be married to that man, but you belong to me.”
Her lips purse, and her eyes blaze back at me. Blood rushes between my thighs, flooding me with an uncontainable desire.
“And get it out of your head that you can escape because you can’t. You go where I say you can go. You understand?”
The lust in her eyes is unmistakable.
She nods but remains tense. I let her go, and she breaks for the door again, the hint of a giggle slipping from her lips.
“Oh, no you don’t.” I quickly grab her by the waist and hoist her over my shoulder. My cock is pulsing with need.
I love our game. I love the chase, the way she’s always made me fight for it. But I can’t keep it up much longer.
I have to get inside her…
“Oh, you’re kidnapping me?” she teases, winking cutely as I carry her to the bedroom. “What in the world are you going to do to me?”
Her eyes blossom as I toss her down on the bed and with a single pull from my fist tear her dress down the middle.
I toss the ripped pieces of fabric aside and stare down at her naked body, glorious and sexy.
“That’s right. You’re staying here now.”
Her little pink tongue comes out and traces her bottom lip, as if she’s beckoning me to make my move.
I tug my pants down, and my steel-hard cock springs out like a spear from between my legs. She gasps as I rush in and snatch her by the hips, ravishing her with kisses.
“You want it?” I ask her, teasing her little pussy with my cock, brushing it against her bare pink lips.
“You know I do,” she moans, eyes closed, lost in my caresses.
“Beg for it.”
She smiles and drapes her arms around my shoulders. “Fuck me, Daddy. Pretty please?”
Our energies are contagious, enhancing each other, sending us both to greater lust-filled heights.
I press against her hole with my tip, feeling the slickness dripping down her thighs and onto her ass. Her arousal for me drives me absolutely wild.
She drives me wild.
And our little game just keeps getting hotter and hotter.
