“What are you doing here, Chloe?”
She took a deep breath and said, “I came to see you… to forgive you.”
“But, why? After everything, I’ve done to you, how could you just forgive me?”
“Because life’s too short to hold a grudge. I know what Dad did. He manipulated you. Used you. I. Forgive. You.”
“I don’t deserve it. I should be rotting in hell for all eternity. I just don’t understand.”
“Colton, you’re my brother… my family. Maybe now, my only family. So, I forgive you for all the sins.”
Colton frowned as a tear ran down his face, “I… I don’t know what to say. Chloe, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry I hurt you… hurt all of you. Benjamin, I hope in time you can forgive me for being a dick. Perhaps, in the future, we can become friends.”
“We’ll see. One day at a time, Colton.”
“Can I ask you of a favor?”
“What is it?” Chloe asked.
“I need you to make sure Jenna Bradley is okay. Make sure she’s not trying to hurt herself.”
“Colton?” Chloe asked.
“I’ve been seeing someone. Jenna Bradley and I have been secretly dating.”
“I know.” Benjamin said dismissively.
“You do?”
“Well, I didn’t.” Chloe said, glaring at Benjamin.
“I just need to know she’s okay after all that’s happened. There’s a reason I did everything Dad said… he said if I didn’t, he would kill her. That is why I did what I did. If I could take everything back, I would. I’d get you and Mom out of there. But, I didn’t and now I’m paying the price. Paying for my sins.”
Chloe placed her hand over his and gently squeezed his hand. “Don’t worry, we’ll check in on her.”
“Tommy has been checking in on her, since she got discharged from the hospital. She… passed out.”
Colton clenched his jaw at the thought of Tommy. He’d hated him for years. Ever since, Colton and Jenna had gotten together he was a nuisance. Always trying to make her leave him. It was no secret that Tommy wanted Jenna for himself.
“I don’t like him.”
Benjamin agreed, “Nobody likes that fucker. He’s always trying to take someone’s girl. We’ll keep an eye on her.”
Chloe looked at her watch and frowned, “Our times almost up, but I wanted to clear the air between us.”
Colton smiled, “I’m glad you came to see me. One day at a time, sister.”
Benjamin leaned across the table and whispered in Colton’s ear, “I’ll forgive you for hurting her, but you do it again and I’ll kill you myself.”
Colton gulped, “I swear, I’ll never hurt her again.”
“Good. And, Colton, don’t worry about Jenna. I’m sure she’ll be just fine.”
“Thank you.” Colton whispered, letting out a sigh of relief.
Chapter 14
___________
Over the next few weeks, Benjamin and Chloe hung out with Jenna per Colton’s request. At first, she was skeptical. She didn’t know what to think when they approached her at the store. She knew of Benjamin, but never really talked to him… never had a reason to. Now that Benjamin and Chloe was around more, it meant she could breathe. Tommy was great, but sometimes he was too much. Everything was moving too fast for her. She needed to take a time out and take a breath.
She was still upset that Colton had hurt Chloe, but understood why she forgave him. He was her brother… her blood. No matter what happens, at the end of the day… family above all. Now, it was time for her to heal and find it in her heart to forgive Colton.
Upon arriving to the bar, she eyed Benjamin and Chloe. Tommy smiled and waved as she stepped inside. Tommy rushed to her side and lead her to the table, making her irritated. This is why she hated her pregnancy known to the world. Tommy was treating her like an invalid. She didn’t need anyone treating her like a child, or walking on eggshells because of her. Because of Colton.
“Stop it, Tommy. I can do it myself.”
Tommy muttered under his breath, “Someone’s grumpy.”
Jenna slammed her fists down on the table, “Fuck you, Tommy.”
“Tommy,” Benjamin warned, “I think you should go. Jenna doesn’t need to get upset.”
“It’s okay, Benjamin. I’m fine.” Jenna said, like Tommy wasn’t there.
“What the hell, man?” Tommy growled.
“Tommy, just shut up. I’m not helpless, so quit acting like I am.”
“Jenna…”
“No, Tommy. I don’t know why you think it’s your job to take care of me. I don’t need you to keep doing this.”
Tommy pinched the bridge of his nose, “You know what, I think I will leave.”
“Jenna, I’m sorry about him. He’s just so…”
“Dramatic and overbearing.” Chloe added.
“I was going to say a dick, but that works too.” Jenna smiled.
Chloe took a sip of her Coke and said, “Jenna, are you okay? You know, with being pregnant with Colton’s baby.”
“I’ll be fine.”
Across the bar, Benjamin spotted Tommy. He was currently talking to Jeff. Probably bitching about Jenna. Benjamin knew Tommy had been in love with Jenna for years. Then, Jenna started seeing Colton. Goodbye, Tommy. He shook his head and chuckled to himself.
Chloe raised an eyebrow, “Something funny?”
“Naw, just thinking.”
Chloe narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips. Benjamin wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her cheek. He leaned down and whispered, “I was thinking of all the ways I could make you scream tonight.”
Chloe’s face flushed at the thought of him doing all those dirty things to her. Jenna was oblivious to what was going down between the two lovers. Besides, she had other things on her mind… like Colton and Tommy. Could she really forgive Colton for the things he’d done?
“I’m going to go home. I’m feeling a little tired.” Jenna said, rising from her chair.
“Do you want me to give you a ride home?”
“No, I just really need to be alone. I need to think.” Jenna said, giving them a forced smile.
Benjamin nodded and grinned to Chloe. It was a grin that said, he had something up his sleeve. He put his hand on her thigh, inching his way underneath her dress. Chloe tried to push him away, but he shook his head. “Hands at your side, little girl.”
She mouthed, “Master?”
“Good girl. Are you wet thinking of all the things I’m going to do to you tonight?”
“Yes, Benjamin.” She squeaked.
Benjamin slid his hand between her thighs, cupping her pussy. She gasped as he slid her panties to the side and brushed his fingers against the slit. Benjamin ran his finger up and down, making her softly moan. “You’re always wet for me.”
“Someone will see.”
“Only if you make a sound. I want you to hold it in for me. Do not come.”
“What if I can’t?”
“Then, I’ll punish you with my belt.”
“Mmm.” She moaned, her eyes glazed over with lust.
Benjamin worked circles around her clit as she fought the urge to come. Her heartbeat was erratic as he picked up the strokes. It did turn her on to know she could be caught. Just one scream would draw attention to her. She clenched the sides of her chair as she bit her lip. She was trying so hard to obey Benjamin. Just when she was about to come, he pulled away. He straightened her panties and dipped his finger in his whiskey.
Bringing the soaked finger to his lips, he sucked the Jack Daniel’s and the juices of her pussy mixed together. “My two favorite things. Whiskey and your pussy. My version of a Whiskey Sour.”
“Benjamin!” Chloe panicked, making sure nobody heard what his just said.
“What, it’s true. So fucking sweet.”
“Such a dirty mouth.”
“A dirty man for a dirty girl. Since you were good, I’m going to reward you tonight.”
“What is it?”
Benjamin winked, “You’ll just have to wait to find out.”
Benjamin and Chloe descended the bar and walked outside. The night air was hot and humid as they walked down the road. Benjamin took her by the hand and pulled her to his chest. Chloe wrapped her arms around his neck as he smiled down to her. “Tonight, I’m giving you the reins. I’m going to allow you to use my body any way you want. Babydoll, I’m yours to control. Make me beg… scream… cry. I just want to be used. Tonight, I will call you whatever you want me to.”
“Benjamin…”
“Shh, let’s get out of here and go to our dark place.”
Chloe pecked his lips and whispered, “Come on, let the sin begin. Let’s be dirty and filthy sinners.”
Benjamin’s eyes lit up, a fire igniting inside him. He loved being in control, but he had a feeling not being in control was the best feeling. His body tingled as led her into the night. Not being in control was going to be the thing that brought the most pleasure. And, maybe after tonight… he’d let her do it again. If she was a good girl for him, he’d let her do anything to him.
Chapter 15
____________
This was a first for Benjamin. He’s always been in control, but not right now. Chloe had the authority over him at the moment. Benjamin was hers to do whatever he wanted. Chloe bit her lip as she straddled his waist. His cock swelled as her sex ground against him. He had to admit not being the dominant one had his heart beating so fast. Now, he knows how she feels when he’s in control.
“I can do anything?”
“Anything to your heart’s desire.”
“I want you to call me Mistress.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
Benjamin was completely naked, but Chloe still had her dress on. Benjamin wanted to rip it off, but refrained himself. She took his large wrist and made him cup her right breast. She guided his hand, trailing his hand down her stomach and stopped. Benjamin’s eyes held anguish as she cupped his cheek and whispered. “Benjamin, are you hard for me?”
He whispered, “Yes, Mistress. I’m so hard for you.”
She pulled his wrist away and placed it to his side. She took off her dress and leaned down next to his ear. Her hot breath fanned his ear, making his cock twitch as she murmured. “Do you feel that thumping in your chest?”
“Yes, Mistress.”
“That is what you do to me every time you dominate my body. My heart pounds so hard that it feels like it might explode.”
Chloe leaned back and reached over, retrieving a pair of handcuffs. Benjamin smiled at how natural Chloe was at being dominant. He would definitely be letting her in control more often. There were dominant/submissive couples that stayed strictly sub and DOM, but then there was the other type of couples. Those couples are called switches, which means they can be both. One day the dominant will be the dominant, but the next day he could become the submissive.
Chloe cuffed Benjamin’s wrists and placed his hands behind his head. Chloe ran her finger down his chest, scraping her nail against his skin. Goosebumps began to rise, making him groan.
“Please, Chloe… Mistress.” Benjamin moaned as she gripped the base of his cock.
“I want to fuck you just like this.” Chloe slid the tip against her slick folds and sunk down. Benjamin bucked his hips and hissed as she bounced up and down. Each time she came back down, she slammed her hips down harder. Benjamin’s control was weakening by the second. Chloe pressed her palms flat on his chest and crashed her lips against his.
“Fuck, Benjamin.” Chloe moaned as her hips gyrated as she rode him. She pulled away and arched her back as his chest rose and fell erratically. His shallow breaths made Chloe closer to her release. She buried her face in his neck as she came undone. Her lips found his neck, licking and biting. Teasing him… tasting him. She tilted her head and gently whispered in his ear, “Come with me, big boy.”
And just like a gate opened, they both came together. Benjamin and Chloe’s breaths was all that could be heard as they came down off their high. She slid his cock out of her and placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth and whispered. “I love you, Benjamin. I love you so much.”
“Love you too, Chloe.”
Chloe grabbed his arms and unlocked the cuffs. She threw the cuffs on the table and smiled as she eyed the crimson rings on his wrists. Then, she raised her head and giggled. Benjamin grabbed her hips and flipped them over. Benjamin loomed over her and nipped at her neck.
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing. It’s just how are you going to explain the marks on your skin to everyone?”
“None of their business. What I do on my own time is just between us.”
Benjamin and Chloe dressed and headed for the kitchen. Benjamin grinned to himself as he watched her attempt to reach the top shelf. He shook his head and chuckled to himself. He stood behind her and grabbed the bag of chips. “I got it, short stuff.”
“I’m not short, you’re just tall.”
“Says you.”
Benjamin set the bag of chips down and spun her around. Just when they were an inch apart, the shrill of his phone echoed through the room. He rested his forehead against her and sighed, “Every damn time.”
He accepted the call and answered, “Yes, Tilly? Ok, We’ll get there as soon as we can.”
“Benjamin?”
“It’s your mother. She passed early this morning. Tilly needs to ask you some more questions. Your father is being officially charged with double murder.”
“What about Colton?”
“She didn’t say anything about him, but she does need to speak to you about your father.”
Within the next hour, Chloe and Benjamin entered Tilly’s house. Tilly had files spread all over the kitchen table as she spoke on the phone. “I understand. I have to call you back.”
“Tilly, what’s going on?”
“Mr. Davenport is being transferred to another state. Apparently, he not only killed in Oklahoma, but also in Texas. When he met your mother, she was from Texas. She never married him willingly. He kidnapped her at the age of eighteen and changed his name from Alex to Axel Davenport. Your brother’s confession was what we needed. He provided all the information against his father.”
“What’s going to happen to Colton?”
“He’s going to serve a three-year sentence for being involved with the chance of parole after serving two years. With hope, he’ll only serve two years.”
“And my father?”
“Their going to gas him.”
“I’ll finally be free.”
“You’re free. Colton may have been an asshole in the past, but I think there’s still hope for him. If all goes well, he can redeem himself.”
Chloe threw her arms around Benjamin and held him tight. Benjamin pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. Now that Mr. Davenport was out of the way, he could finally do what he wanted. There was just one thing he needed to do. He needed to visit Colton and do right by Chloe. He was going to fully forgive him and put everything in the past. Benjamin was going to ask her brother for her hand in marriage. But first, he needed to go buy a ring. He smiled, knowing the woman he loved was finally free from the chains. She was free from The Devil.
Chapter 16
___________
Benjamin dropped Chloe off at Amber’s house and told her he needed to take care of something. Chloe didn’t ask questions thankfully. Benjamin rubbed the back of his neck as he looked over at Colton. Colton raised his brow, cocking his head and asked. “No Chloe?”
“This is something I need to do alone.”
“Have you come to murder me?”
Benjamin chuckled and shook his head, “No. I’ve come to have a man to man chat.”
“But you hate me. What could we possibly have to chat about?”
“I’ve spent most of my life hating you. Today that stops. I forgive you, Colton.”
“You what?”
“You heard me. I. Forgive. You. Let the past stay in the past. I know you hurt people you care about, but I also know something else. In the end, you did the right thing. You put the man responsible behind bars. Even though you’re paying the price, you did right by Chloe and Jenna.”
