Chapter Eight
“You seem happy,”
Nora said.
Emily glanced over at her mother and offered her a smile. She couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. In the past five months, this was the first time she had left the comfort of Dom’s home.
He’d made all the necessary arrangements for her to go to dinner with her mother, in a restaurant of his choosing. There were six men close by, standing guard. She couldn’t help but be a little nervous.
Dom said her father was still a threat, and he was turning into a desperate man. She had no idea what Nigel would try. She was no longer a virgin, and she wouldn’t be worth anything to sell. Also, she had a feeling if her father even tried to get close to her, Dom would be there to protect her.
“I am … happy.”
She couldn’t help but smile.
Nora leaned forward and held her hand. “You have no idea how happy that makes me. I was so worried, and I didn’t want you to … you know, I didn’t want to lose you.”
“I can’t believe my dad was going to attempt to sell me.”
Her mother sighed. “I am so ashamed to have ever thought I loved him.”
“Did you?”
“For a time. I thought he was a wonderful man, but it was all fake.”
Nora smiled at her. “But at least I got you. That is all I wanted when I realized what kind of man he was. You’re my daughter, and I will do whatever I can to protect you.”
Emily nibbled her lip.
“What is it?”
Nora asked.
“It’s nothing.”
“Don’t lie to me, Sweetheart. You and I both know I can read you like a book. Something is bothering you. What is it?”
“Well, it’s … what if Dom is like Dad?”
She frowned, hating the very words that fell from her lips.
“He’s not.”
“How do you know that?”
“I know your father and I know he and Dom are in a similar kind of business, but trust me, neither of those men are the same. I would never have trusted Dom with you, if he was.”
Nora sighed. “He’s a good man.”
Emily laughed. “Don’t you think that is a bit much?”
“What is wrong, honey?”
Nora asked.
“Nothing is wrong. I’m just, you know, putting some perspective on it.”
She was trying to constantly dose herself in reality.
She and Dom were two different people. He kidnapped her. Then he was willing to allow her to fuck her way out of captivity, then they somehow ended up married. Their marriage was amazing. The sex was out of this world, and that in itself was the scariest thing of all.
“You’re in love with him, aren’t you?”
Nora asked.
Emily glanced toward Dom’s men. She didn’t know what their instructions were, but she didn’t want her private conversation with her mother to be repeated. “Mom!”
“What?”
Nora asked. “What is wrong with asking you a simple question?”
She leaned in close and tried to discreetly point to the men who happened to work for the same man, and all her mother did was laugh, like it was funny.
“Oh, honey, it doesn’t matter what we say or do, they’re going to report to Dom anyway.”
“They are?”
“Absolutely, and do you want Dom to find out through his men that you couldn’t answer a simple question?”
“You’re not playing fair, Mom.”
“I’ve asked if you’re in love with the man you have married, that is all. A perfectly innocent question.”
Emily sat back, and she didn’t like the way this conversation was going.
Nora reached out and placed a hand on top of hers. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
She didn’t know if she should talk or not. His men were watching and listening to their every word, which didn’t exactly thrill her.
“I don’t know. It’s nothing, I guess.”
She released a sigh and then picked her fork up again, and began to fiddle with her food.
“Talk to me,”
Nora said.
“Is this what it was like with Dad?”
Emily asked.
“No,”
Nora said.
Emily frowned. “It wasn’t?”
“Absolutely not. Your father was not a kind man, nor a good man. I mean, sure, he had rare moments, where I was disillusioned into thinking he was a good man. It was why I stayed with him as long as possible, but it was never like this. There were men, but they were ordered to remove anyone who talked to me.”
Nora smiled at her, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “They were ordered to beat me into submission if I refused to comply. Your father would have women dragged before me, and he’d make me watch as he hurt them. They worked for him, belonged to him, were his property, and he could do whatever the hell he wanted with them.”
Nora stopped and reached for her glass of water, taking a long sip.
“I’m sorry, Mom.”
“Don’t be. I found a way out, and since then, I’ve been able to stay safe. He’s not going to ruin your life, and hopefully, if Dom finally finishes this, he’ll be out of our lives for good.”
“You want Dom to kill him?”
“Yes, that piece of shit nearly sold you, baby, and that I can’t stand. Trust me, I have tried to think of a million different ways to end that son of a bitch, and I haven’t been able to. He has too many men around him. Too much is at stake, and I’m not willing to lose everything to kill him.”
Nora offered her a smile.
She looked at her mother, and Emily realized in that moment that she never quite really thought about all her mother had gone through. The pain, the humiliation, to keep her safe. For the longest time, she figured her parents had merely had a disagreement that lasted a long time. She never once figured it was … like this.
“I love you, Mom,”
Emily said.
“I know, honey, and I love you too.”
Her mother reached out and gave her a hug.
“I do.”
There was no point in holding back the truth. Not from her mother. “I do love him, and that scares me.”
Nora pulled away and frowned. “Why?”
“Because, what if he … leaves me? What if he finds someone else?”
“There is always that risk, no matter who you love, sweetheart. You can’t live your life thinking that way. Trust me, otherwise it is going to be a very miserable existence, and I don’t want that for you.”
“What do I do?”
Emily asked.
“Tell him, and I have a sneaking suspicion you’re going to be shocked.”

Nigel was playing dirty, but that was more than fine with Dom. For some sneaking reason, the cops had decided to show up at several of his nightclubs. Dom had long gotten out of the drug trade—at least five years ago, since a nasty batch of product had taken the lives of many people.
Dom was quite happy to kill people who deserved it, but when it came to people who were customers, that didn’t mesh well with him. The product, cocaine, had been messed with by Nigel and his team, which had resulted in multiple deaths. Rather than continue to run the risk of Nigel’s interference, he stopped delving into something he no longer agreed with. It was an easy decision to make.
He’d never been one who liked drugs, and making and distributing them came with a lot of heat, so stepping away was easy. The cops had been sent an anonymous tip about a supply chain starting in one of his nightclubs. Dom had been sent the alert by one of the men working on his payroll, but it hadn’t mattered. He was out of that business and had been for at least five years. However, he knew what a sneak and a cheat Nigel was, so he went to said nightclub, and sure enough, there were several bags of cocaine hidden around the club.
After finding every last bag, he made his men round up every employee within the last twenty-four hours. Once the search was over, the cops looked mighty disappointed. What was more, Dom had been there, watching them go to the places they had clearly been told to look. That pissed him off, but not as much as knowing one of his employees had been bought off.
It turned out to be the barman. He’d run into a great deal of debt, with a gambling problem. The man had been going to one of Nigel’s bookies, and the payment to get out of broken legs was distributing the product. That man was now dead.
Dom had been pissed off, and he was currently having all of his employees investigated to see who would dare betray him. Anyone who did would answer to him.
Nigel thought he could take him out with a simple phone call, but it was going to take a lot more than that.
The only thing protecting Nigel right now was the heat on his back. The moment that died down, he was going to slaughter the piece of shit.
Taking a sip of his whiskey, he stared into his empty fire. It wouldn’t be long before he was lighting the damn thing, as the chilly nights were about to be upon them once more.
“I thought I heard you were back.”
He turned to find his wife in the doorway. She wore one of the many silk negligees he had bought for her. Even though her father had caused him trouble today, Dom felt happiness at seeing her. Glancing down the length of her body, he felt a thickening in his cock, and he wanted her badly.
All day, he’d found himself thinking about her, and it didn’t seem to be stopping. He took another long swig of his drink and watched as she stepped into the room. She’d already closed the door and advanced toward him.
“Are you okay?”
she asked.
“I’m good now,” he said.
She stepped close to him and tilted her head back, smiling up at him. “That’s good. I had a lovely time today with my mom. Thank you for organizing it.”
“You’re welcome.”
“How was your day?”
she asked.
“You don’t want to know.”
She put a hand on top of his. “I do.”
Dom knew he shouldn’t say anything, but what was the point in being married, if he couldn’t tell her exactly what was going on?
“Your father caused me trouble today,”
he said, then proceeded to tell her everything that had gone wrong today.
“He did that?”
Emily asked.
“He certainly did, as payback.”
“For me?”
“Yes.”
“I’m so sorry.”
“You’ve got nothing to be sorry about.”
“He is my father and he’s caused you nothing but trouble.”
She had the cutest glare.
He couldn’t help but reach out and cup her cheek. “Stop worrying about it. I’ll handle it.”
Dom couldn’t resist sliding his thumb across her bottom lip. At the most inappropriate times, he had been thinking about these lips, how plump and delightful they were.
Emily pressed her face against his palm, and then kissed the inside. “Thank you.”
“What for?”
“For everything. For keeping me safe, for helping my mother, for dealing with my dad. Thank you.”
Dom put his empty glass down and banded an arm around her waist. “It hasn’t come without a price,” he said.
She let out a little moan as he stroked his palm down her ass, gripping her tightly as he pulled her close. His cock was rock-hard, and there was no way she wouldn’t be able to feel how hard he was. She let out another moan, and for a second he was hypnotized. He couldn’t look away.
“And what price is that?”
she asked.
“I get all of you.”
He took possession of her lips, and he felt her hands at his chest, and slowly begin to climb up, to circle around his neck.
He didn’t know how he had gotten so lucky with her, but it was a gift he had no intention of ever giving back.
She was absolutely beautiful.
Another moan escaped her lips, and he couldn’t help but be intoxicated by her.
Breaking the kiss, he traveled his lips down toward her neck. At the same time, he began to bunch up her negligee as this was too many clothes for him to deal with. He let her go long enough to remove it before throwing it to the floor.
She let out another little soft moan, and it drove him crazy to hear it.
Looking down at her body, he couldn’t help but admire the full curves of her tits, and then down he went, enjoying the fullness of her tight ass. She was fucking stunning.
He grabbed her ass tightly and drew her closer. Dom couldn’t resist giving her ass a nice little slap, and he heard her soft, subtle moan, and groaned. Running his hands back up her body, he cupped her tits and held them up as if in offering. Taking one tight nipple, he sucked the bud into his mouth, and he heard her cry out.
His pants were getting tighter as his cock thickened.
He was not done with her tits, and as he moved to the other, he devoted plenty of time to each nipple. Once he was done, he let her go and eased open the button of his pants. He had no choice but to slide the zipper down and do it delicately over his raging erection.
Dom gritted his teeth. He had no idea what it was about this woman that drove him crazy, but she did. He couldn’t get enough of her.
Emily suddenly pushed him, and he looked at her, smiling as she nudged him over toward the sofa. Dom didn’t fight her because he was curious to see what his little innocent wife was going to do.
The moment he fell into the chair, he looked at her. His wife, completely naked, surprised him by sinking to her knees before him. Now, he was curious about what she was going to do next.
He waited, brow raised, as she began to pull his pants off. When she got them to his knees, she suddenly lifted his feet up and removed his shoes, followed by his socks, which for some strange reason he found utterly endearing.
Her hands went to his knees, and she started to work her hands up his thighs, going toward his cock. She pushed his thighs open and then reached out, taking hold of his cock. He loved the feel of her tight grip, and he gritted his teeth as the pleasure was instant, traveling up his spine.
He watched her. She worked from the base of his cock, moving up toward the tip, and then back down again. Emily looked up at him, and he saw the teasing glint in her eyes. She wanted him. It was right there in her eyes.
And then, he watched as she leaned forward and kissed the tip. She kissed the side, then back to the tip, then swirled her tongue across the head. He loved how freely she explored his cock, and his body. He was at her command.
She was stunning to watch. The way she worked his cock. Even now, her movements were so unsure and so innocent. His sweet, innocent wife, who also happened to love to fuck. He couldn’t get enough of her.
She worked her tongue down the long vein of his cock. Dom thought he could be patient, but he wanted to feel the warmth of her mouth wrapped around his length, and he wanted to feel it now. Just as he was about to order her to take all of him into her mouth, she finally covered the tip with her mouth, taking more of him inside.
He gritted his teeth, but then she had to go and moan, which sent a vibration up the whole length of his cock. It felt so fucking good, and he didn’t want her to stop.
She slid down, and then moved up to the tip, coating him in her saliva.
It had been a good week since he’d been inside her, and he already knew she had finished her cycle. He would gladly come in her mouth, but that was not where he wanted to finish this. He reached for her, picking her up off the floor, then moving her to straddle his waist.
“Hey, I’m in charge,” she said.
“Good, but it has been too long since I was inside your sweet cunt, and now you get to control that. Put me inside you, beautiful,” he said.
“How can you sound so sweet while making that command?”
She let out a growl.
“Easy, because you love it when I do.”
Her hand shook a little as she held onto his length. He loved this part, watching her line his dick up to her entrance, and she moved over him, sinking him deep inside her. He couldn’t look away as he was totally mesmerized by the sight of her taking full control of him.
This was his wife and he grabbed her hips, as they got to the last inches. He pulled her right down over his length, and he heard her moan. Dom loved to see the way her tits shook as he slapped her down on his dick.
Pulling her up, he worked her over his cock, feeling her tight cunt squeeze him. Another moan left her, and finally she gripped his hips and started to take over, working his cock perfectly, just as he wanted her to.
She was riding up and down his length, and he knew he wasn’t going to last. He gave her juicy ass a final squeeze and then reached between her thighs. Staring into her eyes, which she opened the moment he touched her clit, he began to play with her.
His name fell from her lips with a gasp, but he didn’t stop, he didn’t fucking want to. This was his wife, and before he found his release, he wanted her to come all over his dick, to have him swimming in her orgasm. Her pussy tightened around his cock, and as he watched her building toward her orgasm, he felt it as well.
It was a dance for the both of them, and as he toppled her over the edge and watched her fall, he never let her go, even as she rode him, bringing him to completion.
He gritted his teeth, holding onto his woman as he flooded her womb.
Dom knew, when it came to Emily, there was nothing he wouldn’t do for her. He didn’t know how she had done it, but slowly she had worked her way into his heart, and now she was the most important person in his life. He would do everything to protect her. Because the truth was, he couldn’t let her go. She meant too much to him.
