Chapter 11
***
The next few days went by smoothly enough with not too many hiccups. My meeting with Henry Jonas had gone pretty much the same as the one with Sorenson. He too had no reason for finding himself the target of Jen and her boy toy. The three of us had decided though that we would get to the bottom of it. I got the impression that they’d been waiting for a way to get back at her, but because she had them by the short ones it had been hard for them to go after her directly. I had no such fears.
Ashley and I were coming along just fine and it was as if we’d shared a lifetime together the way we complemented each other in all things. She had her moments when she was a royal pain in the ass but I put that down to teenage rebellion. I could usually bring her to heel with a hard fuck. That always seemed to get her back on track at least for a little while.
Jen had gone back to work and so far there had been no sightings of her near the campus or my office, and Ash’s parents claimed they hadn’t spoken to her since her return. Things were going along just swell until I was blindsided.
Ash’s mom, Janet, in her excitement at her daughter’s upcoming nuptials, had got the bright idea to take out an announcement in the papers. I had no knowledge of it until the congratulations came pouring in. I didn’t panic, I had her under guard for each second she was out of my sight, but it was an added headache I could’ve done without.
That evening only verified for me what I feared most. “Something strange happened at school today.” I was only giving her half an ear as I was trying to put the finishing touches on a deal after dinner. We were spread out in my study, she on the floor with her mountain of books, while I sat at my desk.
“Oh yeah? Tell me.” I was sure it was going to be some banal story about one of her classmates or a professor, but what came out of her mouth next had me putting away my laptop and giving her my full attention. “This guy approached me. He tried playing it off like he was a student but somehow I didn’t believe him. He was giving off very strong, very weird vibes and he seemed more interested in me than would be normal for someone you just met.”
“What did he say?”
“Just little things, like where I lived, what I like to do for fun, stuff like that. It was the way he asked that spooked me I guess. Then he was getting way too close and I started to feel trapped. It’s only when Tony left the car and came to get me that he backed off and just hurried off. Like he didn’t want to be seen or something.”
“Have you ever seen him before?” I was already calling Tony to come up to the house. Her detail had been warned to keep a distance since I didn’t want her to know that she was being followed, but if strange men were approaching her maybe I’ll have to change that.
“No never, I don’t know, maybe I’m making too much out of nothing, I just didn’t like the way he made me feel. Plus it seemed like he was wearing a fake beard or something.” She shrugged and I almost had a fucking heart attack. Please tell me this fucker hadn’t been that close to her. I bit back the panic and tried to keep my voice level.
“You did the right thing by telling me. If you see this guy again I want you to get as far away from his as possible and call me. ”
I think my response scared her just a little and she worried her lip.
“There’s nothing to worry about baby I’m just being careful. I don’t want you being uncomfortable okay.” She accepted my excuse and went back to her books as I left the room and headed down to meet Tony.
His take on the situation was pretty much the same as hers. He’d watched the guy approach and after noticing her discomfort had left the car to get her only to have the guy disappear at a fast pace. He’d thought the whole situation sketchy at first but had put it down to some guy trying to pick her up and leaving once he saw another male on the scene. I wasn’t so inclined.
“Did you get a good look at this guy?”
“No, he had his hat pulled down low over his eyes and his collar pulled all the way up. She got a better look I think since he was standing right in front of her.”
“She doesn’t know him. Get with Sam he should have a picture of this guy Jen has been shacking up with. I have a funny feeling they’re one and the same.”
That night in bed, I let her ride me until she was too tired from cumming. I was a long way from release since my mind was filled with her and protecting what’s mine. When she dropped onto my chest from exhaustion I turned her to her back and took over. “Squeeze.” She barely had the strength to clutch at me with her pussy muscles as I fucked into her slow and steady.
Whether he was Jen’s accomplice or just some male getting too close to her, the feeling inside me was the same, too fucking close. I marked her, biting into her neck in the most primal way a man can mark his woman. I bit and licked her as my cock pounded into her while she moaned and dragged her nails down my back. Something rode me hard and it was not pretty. Shit!
“I don’t want you talking to any men no matter who it is.” She nodded her head around the hand I had wrapped around her throat. I slammed my cock into her harder and deeper as that hand squeezed. My heart felt strange in my chest, not only at the thought that she might be in danger, but at the thought of anyone with a dick getting that close to her. My fucking head was about to explode. What the fuck!
Jealousy. A foreign emotion for me, something I’d never fought before, that’s what was riding me so hard and I set about showing her who she belonged to the rest of the night and into the morning. My dick was raw but it was worth it.
She was dead to the world when I finally rolled out of bed the next morning. I tossed around the idea of taking the day off, but I’d already lost a lot of time that week I’d stayed home with her. “Hey, wake up.” I shook her awake gently until she opened tired eyes on mine.
“Why don’t you take the day off from school? You can contact your professors and get your classes sent to you online.” I knew this because this was something they’d started doing my last year in college. “In fact why don’t you take the next few weeks off and study at home? It would free you up for your wedding planning.” That wasn’t my real reason for suggesting it but it was as good a reason as any.
I didn’t know the extent of what I’d done to her during the night until she stretched and the sheet fell away from her. Her neck and chest was a mess of purple and blue marks where I’d sucked her. “Damn baby.” I ran my finger over them and she hissed, causing me to lower my head to swipe across them with my tongue.
“Ooh that feels good don’t stop.” I’d already taken my shower but had yet to get dressed. Slipping out of my robe I let her pull me back into bed with her and fought my way under the covers. I licked my way down her body until I reached her sweet pussy that was waiting for me between her open thighs.
Lifting her ass in my hands, I tongue fucked her until she writhed with need. “Please.” She spread her legs wider for me and pulled me in tight once I climbed up her body and nosed around her entrance with the tip of my cock.
Sliding into her wet heat was like coming home and I was back where I’d left off only a few short hours ago. “I love the way you feel inside me, so full.” Her voice was barely above a whisper as she lifted into me taking the full length of my cock, holding it snug inside.
Always the need to pound away inside her rode me hard, but I fought to go easy this time even though her heels digging into my ass spurred me on. Her body was hot beneath mine as we wrapped around each other getting as close as two people could be, our mouths sealed, our groins rubbing against each other as we moved together as one.
Once again, I wet her womb with my seed, leaving the heavy weight of my cock deep inside her until the last drop had drizzled out of me into her. “Let go baby, I’ve got to run.”
“Uh-uh.” Far from letting go, she wrapped her legs around me tighter and held on with her arms that barely reached around my back.
With one last peck on her cheek, I extricated myself and got out of bed for one last shower before getting dressed. She was still in bed and I chanced a quick kiss to her lips and forehead before leaving her to her own devices. At least this way, I wouldn’t have to worry about anyone getting to her. No one could get past these gates without permission and there was no way to scale the ten-foot walls.
I wasn’t so lucky that afternoon when none other than Jen barged into my office. She threw the newspaper down on my desk in a rage before I could get a word out, with my flustered assistant standing wide-eyed in the doorway. I waved her away and faced Jen still in my seated position. I’d almost half expected this visit, so wasn’t too caught off guard.
“What do you want?”
“You’re fucking my niece? Wait until the papers hear about this. What will those associates of yours think of this I wonder? We both know you’re only tolerated in certain circles because of your money, but with your lack of breeding, and now this. How long before they start abandoning ship?”
If her words held any sway, I might be tempted to belt her one. But since I had no fear of being ostracized, they just rolled off my back. Little did she know, that I had the upper hand in all my dealings with my business associates for the very reasons she’d listed. A lot of the old moneyed people I dealt with may have the family name behind them, but it was my money more often than not that was keeping them afloat. But then again, that wasn’t something she would’ve uncovered in her research.
“Do your worst. I’m surprised to see you back so soon. Where’s lover boy?” She didn’t miss a beat and I wondered again what it was that had made her so hard. “I had a feeling you were having me followed. Why don’t you give it up? You’re not going to find anything because there’s nothing there. Your obsession with my past is pathetic.”
“Nice try, but I know you’re hiding something. Or maybe I’ve been going at this thing all-wrong. Maybe it’s not you I should be looking into but him. What was his name again?” I saw that I’d got her on that one. It wasn’t anything outward, just the way she throat worked nervously at my words. Gotcha.
“You’ll only be wasting your time. So, when did you take up with the little tart? How does it feel to be used for your money? You do know that’s all she’s after. What better way to get out of that hovel she calls a home than to sink her claws into someone like you. No wonder she asked me all those questions about you when I mentioned we were dating. I should’ve known when she got all starry eyed at the mention of your many mansions what she was after.”
I knew she was lying out her ass because in the weeks Ash had been staying at my place the girl had hardly shown any interest in anything past the bedroom and the kitchen. I let her go on spewing her vitriol until she wound down.
“Are you done? I suggest you take yourself out of my office and don’t come back again. You’re not welcome here.”
“This wedding will never happen. Not once I tell my sister about you, you slime. I wonder how my brother in law would feel about the fact that you screwed me and is now fucking his precious daughter. Not a good look for the family won’t you say?”
“They already know I never touched you and either way, even if I had, I’m sure they’d understand that a man in my position would trade up if given half a chance.” I smirked at the red anger on her face. She was slipping. I don’t know why or how, but coming here like this, showing her hand, did not play with the person who’d sought me out so methodically. Something was off.
“You think you’ve won but you haven’t. I’ll have that little bitch…” I flew out of my chair before she could finish those words. All pretense was gone now and I could tell by the fear in her eyes and the way she took a hasty step back that she knew she’d gone too far. I stalked around my desk until I was standing in front of her, doing everything I could not to reach out and choke the shit out of her lying scheming ass.
“If you ever so much as look in her direction it will be the last thing you do. Mark me and mark me well, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to you if something happens to her. Now get the fuck out of my sight and the next time you set foot on my property I’ll have you arrested.”
“Is that a threat?” She tried to be tough but we both knew she was scared as fuck. My only answer was the shark like sneer I gave her before I threw her out of my office. She couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I was tempted to have her ass knocked off no joke. All it would take is one phone call and I could put an end to this shit, but it wouldn’t be right. And fucking Ashley would be the first one breathing down my neck with that shit.
After I’d cooled down some, I went back to my desk and sat in contemplation. Maybe it was time I looked closer at this boy toy of hers, her reaction when I mentioned him was very telling. Up until now, I’d seen him only as a gigolo who was pimping her out for his pleasure. But if he was the one who’d visited Ash at school, maybe there was more to his involvement than I’d first believed.
