Chapter Two
Lucinda had gone to her room. But she didn’t want to be alone, so she went to Storm’s room. To think those men believed they could take over here. That they could use Ria like that. The poor woman had been beaten so badly that she was on strict bedrest for perhaps a week.
She now paused to ponder Leon’s words earlier. A new life to live. She had never had any hope for that before she came here. She hoped the same would be true for Ria. She deserved happiness too. They both had been abused and treated harshly by the very people that should have protected them.
Lucinda felt a sense of relief as soon as she sat on the bed. She knew that Storm would probably be gone for a while but she still felt better being here. Grabbing up a pillow she inhaled his scent. Maldito, she had it bad for this man.
Releasing a long breath, she lay on the bed. After being able to rest up here at the mansion for a few days, she did feel more ready to face things. Like she just did in that cell room. The men there wouldn’t listen to what she said but she wanted to face them anyway.
With a relieved sigh, she just took in the peaceful room. She never experienced such luxury in her life before this. Always living in either a trailer or a shack, no matter how hard she worked. Poverty just swallowed her and Ria up in a never-ending cycle.
Storm told her he was also still trying to get used to the mansion himself.
He had never experienced luxury either. She flushed when she thought of him.
A tall wide shouldered man with an easy smile and a sense of honor she had never known before.
In her world there was no one like him. They already knew there was a real spark between them and Storm seemed to be totally serious about their future.
Lucinda didn’t understand that. How he could just know and be fine with it.
But she dared to hope for it. They had calmed the pace down and put off being together in the sense of...
having sex. She grew flushed all over again as she chuckled at her thoughts of him kissing her.
And the idea of being with him like that.
She looked over at the clock. She’d already been tenderly cared for by Storm before she had gone downstairs. He even got orange juice and a bowl of soup for her.
As if she had somehow summoned him, Storm came in through the door. Spotting her on his bed, he grinned.
Her eyes locked onto him. órale...Wow, was this man so fine.
So hot. She felt her cheeks flush as she looked away.
So far, all he’d done was kiss her and hold her.
One night when they were sleeping together, he played with her breasts a little and kissed her neck.
It had set her on fire and she wanted more.
She had told him that when all this was over they would have their time. Well, she didn’t want to wait anymore. Her brothers and illegitimate family were gone now. Even though trouble was still brewing, she was finally away from the Gondos and their threats.
“What’s with the sad face?” he asked as he sat down on the bed.
She pasted a smile on and turned to look at him. “Just thinking how hot you are.”
His brows rose. “Oh, yeah?”
“Si.” She nodded and worried her lip with her teeth.
“Well, why would that make you act this nervous?”
Her head rose up. “Um...Vaya-I...” She let out a breath. “I like...”
He laughed and scooped her up close. “Come on, tell me.”
“Okay.” She felt she could speak now that her face was meeting his hard chest and not his intense eyes. Damn, he smelled good. “I want you, okay?” There, she said it.
He froze for a minute. “You want me?”
“Yes. Like a woman wants a man. You know.”
He chuckled. “Well, I’m glad. But this still doesn’t explain the sad part.”
Lucinda sighed. “I just don’t want to lose this chance at a good life.”
Storm pulled back and asked, “Who says you will?”
“My doubts say it,” she scoffed. “I have a history, you know? I was never allowed to just be happy.”
Storm stared at her and laughed. “You are beautiful and smart. And you chose me didn’t you?” he teased. “That means you are on the right track.”
She did smile at this. She loved his humor.
“Come on, tell me what’s up?” he urged as he took her hand into his large one.
She lowered her head and admitted, “I have fought so hard for the scars on the inside to fade. To disappear and finally...” Her voice fell away. “I have a chance at happiness.”
Again, Storm raised her chin. “Lucinda, I want you to always tell me what you’re feeling and why. You will get everything you need to be happy.”
She pouted. “Demuéstralo.”
His eyes rounded as he asked, “What?”
She sat up and even though her hands shook, she tugged her t-shirt off. Next, she unhooked her bra. Tossing it away, she stared at him. “Prove it.” Here goes she thought.
His eyes took in her bare breasts as the gold flecks in his irises deepened in color.
Goosebumps rose up on her arms at the expression he wore.
Storm stood and tugged his T-shirt off. He toed his boots off then undid his jeans. Smoothly, he rolled them and his briefs down.
Lucinda stared in awe. She’d seen him in various states of undress, but... órale! He was all planes and hard lines. He had a few scars and a huge tat of clouds on his upper thigh then they turned into flames while rising up along his hip.
“Storm turns into hellfire,” he said as he noted her staring at his ink. His cock stood out ready. “See? I want you. You are gorgeous and about to be mine.” He stroked himself once.
Gulping, Lucinda nodded and raised up on her knees. “...I want you to make love to me. Make me yours in all the ways that you can.”
He grasped her chin. “I plan for us to be together until we are very, very old.” His gaze looked intense. “So there will be no going back after this. I don’t do one-night stands, Lucinda.”
She nodded as she did not do that either. “Only you. Para siempre. Forever.”
He slid across the bed. His eyes bored into hers as he grabbed her up, kissing her fiercely.
Lucinda felt her heart pound. Yes! She’d wanted this so badly.
His strong callused hands grazed along her back and down to her butt. Then he unbuttoned her jeans and tugged them from her. He squeezed her cheeks firmly in his strong fingers.
Gasping, she could feel herself becoming wetter.
He then laid her back and stared at her bare body.
Lucinda fidgeted, as she wasn’t used to this.
“Look at me,” he ordered.
Her eyes rose up to meet his intense gaze.
“Open your thighs for me, sugar.”
Her skin again tingled at the tone in his voice as she did just that.
Storm slid his large body down between her legs, his face right at her mound.
She raised up on her elbows. “W-what are you—”
He spread her folds and latched onto her most intimate parts.
Gasping, she plopped back down on the bed. “Ay dios mío!”
Smiling against her tender skin, then he licked, suckled, and lapped at her.
She’d never felt anything like this before. Her mind grew hazy as her body came alive. Her panting grew loud as many feelings rushed through her. She was burning all over.
“Ay, ay... Santo infierno.” Holy hell. She felt heat and ecstasy rush through her body. Now all the air left her lungs as she was exploding.
Storm slid up along her body and positioned himself then plunged into her.
Grabbing hold of him, she let out a scream.
Storm quickly covered her mouth with his, cutting her scream short as he was all the way up inside her to the hilt.
Lucinda felt her body just go up in flames as she squirmed and climaxed hard.
Storm removed his mouth from hers. “Damn, you are so tight, little girl.”
“Ay, alas...” She panted and found she couldn’t speak.
He then kissed her again and moved deep inside her. In and out, in and out. His tongue in her mouth was stroking her with the same rhythm.
It felt like a silk cover rod of steel was stroking her insides and hitting all the spots that would drive her wild. All while that hot tongue was possessing her mouth. She never knew a man could make her feel this way. Her body was ramping up again. The room spun above her.
He removed his mouth from hers, he latched onto a nipple, nibbling at it as he stroked her insides deeply.
“Ahhh, vios,” she let out. “I-I’m...”
He kept at it and switched nipples as he picked up the pace thrusting deeply into her. “Come on little Lucy, we go together...”
Panting and gasping, her body bowed up and her climax was twice as fierce as the first one.
Storm’s breathing was fast too as he grew rigid and stared into her eyes.
Pinned like a butterfly, Lucinda could do nothing but climax with him while locked in his dark eyed gaze.
He held her tight as they orgasmed together. Then he whispered into her ear, “Now, you are mine...forever.”
Tears rolled down her cheeks. “Yes, para siempre...” Her breath rushed out with the words. She never knew she would end up having this when she first arrived here. She was totally blessed.
Storm rolled them over and pinned her to his side. “This is just the beginning. We have plans to make and you never have to worry about being happy again. I will be there to make sure you are.”
