ANA

C aden had been acting strange for the last day and a half. He had been walking away to take phone calls and ending them when I walked in. He always looked agitated when he got off the call. I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but I’m a firm believer in giving people time to open up to you when they were ready. He would tell me eventually. I glanced at Reece, who was sitting beside me, and thought about the fact that this was my new family now, and a surge of warmth spread through my chest. A sense of belonging washed over me.

The tight knot of loneliness in my stomach had loosened. My days felt brighter, and I found myself only thinking about my family in fondness. I think it had something to do with what Caden told me the other day. It felt like a dark weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I even noticed I didn’t need my sleeping pills anymore.

Reece’s phone buzzed, and he picked it up and then cursed. A real curse. I looked over and read it. It was a photo of the girl from the video yesterday with a text under that said, Come and get her . Reece got up and called someone, ordering them to meet him at the location.

“I’m coming with you,” I said, attempting to adopt a tone that brooked no argument.

“No fucking way,” He said immediately.

“I-” I started.

“Fuck no, Ana” He interrupted.

“Reece, she’s going to need a woman around when she gets saved. All you macho men surrounding her with guns will only scare her,” I explained.

“Ana, we could very well be walking into a trap.” He said.

“If we are, you’ll protect me,” I replied, batting my lashes.

He glared at me. “I’m going to ask Caden,”

“Come on. You know he’ll say no,” I whined.

“Yeah, I’m not, not telling him. He’d kill me,” He replied.

“Fine” I huffed.

Twenty minutes later, we hadn't heard back from Caden .

“Look. we are wasting time,” We have to go save her.

He groaned.

When we got there, and we quickly realized that the cabin was empty. It was searched it from top to bottom and there was no sign of anyone, let alone the girl being held captive. Suddenly a black Ferrari pulled up and Caden stepped out looking furious. His expression was so menacing, and I don’t know why, but my first instinct was to run. So, I spun and ran into the woods. After running for what felt like a mile, I grabbed my knees and tried to catch my breath.

A twig snapped, and my head snapped toward it. It was a cloudy evening and the treetop blocked any remaining light, so I couldn't see a thing. I felt eyes on me and immediately knew it was Caden. He was hunting me. My pussy clenched at the thought.

Suddenly, strong arms grabbed me from behind and spun me to face him.

“Running from me wasn't very nice little red”. He said near my ear, his voice a low rumble that caused me to shiver.

“Caden I-”

“Shhh little red, no excuses. I’m going to fuck you right here, right now on the dirty forest floor,” He whispered.

I moaned at the vision his description made.

He hummed. “You’d like that, wouldn't you? Your greedy little pussy wants it. Maybe I should fuck your pretty ass instead.”

I gasped and shook my head.

I pulled out of his arms, wanting to run again, but like an idiot, I tripped and fell forward. He was on top of me in the next second, flipping me around.

“Caden-” I was cut off again by his mouth hungrily devouring mine. I moaned into his mouth. He pulled me flush against his body, his hands sliding down to grab my ass. He groaned and I could feel his hard length through his slacks pressing against my pussy.

He broke the kiss, and the look in his eyes made me shiver. It was like me trying to run away from him, pulled out something animalistic within him.

A ripping sound brought me out of my thoughts. He ripped my tank top to shreds, the tattered remains hanging on my shoulder. I gasped as the cool air hit my nipples. My jeans were next. He pulled them off, deciding not to rip them. My panties didn't get the same mercy, however. They were ripped and tossed somewhere on the forest ground.

I lay there on the forest ground in nothing but my red coat.

He looked down at me, his eyes perusing every inch, like he was committing the scene to memory. His hand came up to my throat and then while he kissed me. His length slammed into me with one hard thrust. I choked on air.

He didn't give me the reprieve I needed to catch my breath. He pounded into me relentlessly. His hot mouth came down on my nipple and he sucked and licked, causing my inside to clench. The second he touched my clit, I exploded. My pussy squeezed and spasmed around him. His jaw clenched as he willed himself to hold off his own climax.

When my muscles finally unclenched from my orgasm, he pulled out of me, still rock hard. I frowned in confusion until the tip of his dick met my asshole. My eye widened. Caden had been preparing me. When we made love his hands would trail to my ass and even though it made me blush profusely. It always felt good, but I didn't know if I was ready to take him .

I bit my lip as I locked eyes with him. I shook in protest my head, but deep down, I was excited, and from the look in his eyes it was obvious he knew. The corner of his lips pulled up in a smiled as he slowly pushed into me. I tensed.

“Shh, relax baby, let me in,” He whispered.

I nodded and did my best to relax. He pushed into me as much as I could take and then began to move. Slowly, he thrust in and out .

“Fuck baby, your pretty ass looks so good around my cock,” He groaned.

I moaned.

His magical fingers went to my clit, and I saw stars. I didn't think it would feel this good. I clenched around him, and he cursed.

“Fuck baby, gonna come,” He gritted out.

“Do it baby,” I moaned. His thrusted stuttered at me calling him baby. I smiled. His finger on my clit moved faster as his thrusts sped up. I was on the verge of another orgasm when I decided he had to cum with me, so I did the one thing I knew would send him over the edge. I looked into his eyes and said the words.

“I love you”. His roar of pleasure came a second before I screamed.

He slowly pulled out of me and tuck himself back in his slacks. He was still semi hard. Caden was insatiable.

He grinned as he pulled me off the ground and dusted off what he could from my coat. He helped me into my jeans and then tied my coat to cover my lack of shirt. He kissed me and then grabbed my hand, leading me back to the cabin. How could he even tell where we were going?

When we walked back to the cabin. Most of the men were gone, and Reece glared at Caden like a disapproving father .

“Take her home, please. I have to get back to the meeting. I left rather abruptly ,” He said, his tone scolding.

Reece and I both cringed. He pulled me in for one more kiss.

“I love you,” He said.

“I love you too,” I replied and watched as his eyes danced with pleasure.

He turned and walked to his car, got in, and drove away.

I turned to Reece "That went better than I expected.” I grinned.

Reece raised a brow and examined me from head to toe. I blushed, knowing that he probably saw the bruises forming around my neck and my lack of clothing on my top half.

“Well, for you at least. I’m still gonna get chewed out whenever he gets back. I’d be lucky if he doesn't chop my head off.” He said as we walked to the car.

One of the bodyguards was in the driver's seat, waiting. Reece hopped into the passenger seat. I got in and sat in the back of the SUV.

We had just rounded a corner, nearly halfway home, when, in an instant, chaos erupted. Out of nowhere, another car collided with ours, causing the car door on the driver’s side to crumple like tinfoil, killing him instantly. The car flipped three times before finally coming to a stop on its side, trapping Reece and me in a twisted metal cage. I shook my head in an attempt to clear my vison until I realized blood was dripping from my head into my eyes. Reece whispered my name, the sound nothing but a wheeze. I looked up to see blood spilling from his mouth. My eyes widened in terror as time slowed to a crawl, as my mind raced to find a way to save him.

“It’s okay, I’m fine we will get out of here,” He said his voice sounding only a little stronger than before.

“You’re bleeding,” I said in a panicked tone.

“Ah, this is nothing, babe. I bit my tongue,” He said, whipping the blood from his mouth.

“I’m gonna get you out. Are you hurt anywhere?” He asked.

I quickly assessed my body. I had superficial cuts here and there, but nothing serious.

I was about to reach over to unclip my seatbelt when glass crunched outside the car. Multiple footsteps approached. Reece turned and gestured for me to fake passing out.

I did as he asked and let my muscles go slack, letting my hair cover my face. There was a sound of creaking metal and Reece’s door popped open and the sound of what I assume was Reece being dragged out. The same happened to me. As soon as I hit the floor outside the car, there was a curse that ended in a gurgling sound. I popped my eyes open to see a man attempting to close a gaping hole in his throat with his hand. He fell to the ground with a thud.

Reece stood, legs spread in a fighting stance, ready for the guy who had dragged me out and that was still standing beside me. A figure appeared behind him, but before I could scream to let him know—there was a syringe sticking out of his neck. He immediately fell to the ground. I screamed then until I felt the sting of a needle in my own neck and darkness took me.
