“No, Len. Let me do it. I won’t hurt you. I promise. Do you trust what I just said?” he asks.
Nodding with him still in my mouth, I grab my hands behind my back tighter so I won’t reach out for him. I know he’s going to want me to deep throat him.
“Good girl. Open your mouth wider and flatten your tongue. That’s good, baby. Shit, your mouth is warm and so wet,” he’s moaning, next, he’s slowly working his way in and out of my mouth.
He isn’t going too deep yet, so, I suck a little stronger, trying to let him know I’m ready for him. He looks down at me and takes a deep breath.
“You want me to go deep, don’t you, Len? Take a deep breath and open your throat, baby. That’s it… Damn… fucking, yes, do it again… fuck, so good!”
He moans out when I swallow tightly around the head of his cock.
His dirty talking is getting me so wet. I don’t know how much more I can take. He starts to pick up speed and with each thrust, I swallow. I really want him to come in my mouth. I never swallowed a guy before, but I want to do this for him. I need to do this.
“Shit, so good. Holy shit, that’s amazing. It’s never been this good before. Fuck, I need inside you. Now.” He moans as he pulls out and picks me up into his arms.
My back slams against the wall, and he enters me in one thrust. I yell out at the invasion and the stretching. He’s big, and I’m still trying to get used to him. It doesn’t hurt, but it makes me feel so full.
“Fuck yeah, mio tutto, you feel amazing. I can feel just how slick you are. Did sucking me off get you wet? So fucking good,” he whispers into my ear.
I clench at his words. His words alone have the power to undo me. He stays still, allowing me a minute to get used to his size. Wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs tightly around his waist, I slowly start to relax. My need for him grows more with every second, I can’t wait anymore. Slowly turning my head into his neck, I kiss up to his ear and nip the lobe lightly.
“Fuck me, Dante. Fuck me against this wall. I need it now, Amore,” I whisper.
He jerks his head back slightly, then looks into my eyes. I can see I’ve shocked him with my talk. Next, there’s a flash of something fierce. It looks like I’ve woken the beast. I’m eager to feel this. The past few nights, he’s taken me slowly and sweetly, but I could tell he was holding back because I was new to all this. I’m tired of him doing that. I need him to know I trust him completely, and I know he wouldn’t hurt me.
“You want me to fuck you? You want me to drill deep and mark you as mine? You ready for that, mio tutto?” he says through clenched teeth and flaring nostrils.
“Fuck me, Dante. Don’t hold back,” I tell him in a very clear and strong voice.
He looks at me and then nods once. He gets this very cocky grin on his face and with the sexiest voice ever says, “Hold on, Len. You’re mine!”
He pulls back and I hold on tighter. He slams into me and my back pushes up against the wall. My head snaps back, and I cry out in pleasure. He stops and gazes upon my face. I lock my eyes onto his and, I guess he likes what he sees, because next thing I know he’s pushing into me again, over and over. I grab his shoulders and dig my nails into his flesh. I feel his hands grabbing my hips hard enough to leave bruises, but I don’t care. This feels amazing!
It’s like he’s claiming me and making it known that I’m his and nobody else’s. I wouldn’t be shocked if the room next to us could hear our cries and moans along with the banging of my back against the wall.
I feel myself getting close to the edge. I’m going to come, and I know it’s going to be stronger than any other one I’ve ever felt. Right before I fall over the edge, I hear him whisper in my ear, “That’s right, come on my cock. I need to feel it. I need to feel you tighten around me. Come now, Len.”
I throw my head back and come around him. I’m feeling light-headed and seeing stars. I barely understand what he’s saying as he slams into me twice more then I feel him come inside me.
“Fuck, Len, you feel amazing. That’s it… yes…” he roars out and stills his movements.
I slowly gain my breath and we come down from our high. I glance up from his chest where my head is laying down, and I smile at the love shining from his eyes.
“Mio tutto, you surprise me. Let’s get in the shower so we can get ready to go downstairs,” he says while he holds me close and walks into the shower still deep inside me.
“Sounds good. We need to do that more often,” I say with a sly grin as he sits me in the shower and starts the water.
“Sounds like a deal. One more time,” he says placing a soft kiss on my lips.
“One more time,” I whisper against his lips right before I deepen the kiss, knowing it’ll lead to shower sex.
Looks like we’re going to be more than fashionably late.

DANTE
As I sit at the table by the dance floor, I watch Len dance with her posse. She’s having so much fun, and she deserves it. I gaze around and take in everyone who’s here at our party.
I see some friends Len and Lucky went to school with when they lived here, the guys from our unit; some of their family and friends came to town too for the party. I also see people we work with from KCPD. They’re all dancing, talking, and having fun.
The food’s amazing. The bartenders are keeping everyone’s drinks filled and the band and DJ are keeping the dance floor hopping. I gaze back at Len, thinking about what we just did in the hotel room.
When she said those words, I was shocked to say the least. I was so happy that Lucky was downstairs and not in his room next to us. I know he’d kill me right now if he’d heard what we were doing. I glance back over at him and catch him watching Sara dance with Len. Shaking my head, I stand and walk over to him.
“Man, why are you waiting? We all know you’re both crazy about each other. Fucking stop already and go claim what you want to be yours,” I tell him when I get next to him.
“Not that simple, man. I know something happened to her, and she won’t talk about it. She says it isn’t anything and that she isn’t ready to trust anyone with whatever it is. If she can’t trust me, then how can she open up and accept what I want to give her?” he tells me while his eyes are locked on her.
I look over at Sara and see her laughing at Len who’s trying to teach her some country line dance. I had a feeling something was going on with her, but always respected her space and didn’t invade. But hearing my best friend’s longing and need for her makes me want to go over and demand answers. I turn back at Lucky.
“What do you need me to do, brother? I’m here and you know I’ll help in any way I can.”
“I know, thanks. I’m going to wait until this shit with Len’s done. Then she’ll have no choice but to tell me because I’m seriously debating to just take her and keep her locked the fuck up until she tells me what is going on,” he tells me with a sly smile on his face.
“Sounds like a plan. I’ll make sure Len is distracted so she can’t interfere,” I tell him, laughing and shaking my head because we both know he wouldn’t ever do that shit.
Momma Connie walks up to us. She gives Lucky a big hug and kiss and then comes to me to do the same.
“You ready to do this? I think this is a perfect time for a speech! Get the rest of the boys and go stand by the stage. I’m going to go and tell Len it’s time,” she tells us then she turns to go towards the girls.
I watch her lean in and whisper into Len’s ear. She smiles at her mom and then points to the doors. Her mom smiles, nods, and walks over to Doc. I watch Len talk to the girls for a few more minutes before she turns and walks towards the door. I start to follow, but am stopped short when a big man steps in front of me. I gaze up and see Doc.
“Hey, you ready to get this over with, I don’t like speeches you know that so let’s get this shit done. Connie said Len’s going to go to the bathroom, the twins are out there
in the lobby waiting for their dates, and then she’ll be back and make the announcement. Let’s get to the stage,” he says patting me on the back and heads toward the stage.
I glance around, I notice that the twins are missing. I take a moment and realize that you can’t get to the bathrooms without passing through the lobby so I’m sure they will spot her. I relax knowing they’ll be with her and head to the stage.
Right when I get to the side, I feel hands wrap around my waist from behind. I start to relax, but realize it isn’t Len. I jerk out of the arms, and I turn to see who it is. A beautiful blonde-hair woman is standing there smiling at me. I smile back politely because I don’t want to be rude but for the life of me I have no clue who she is.
“Hey Dante, I heard you were back, and I had to come and say hello,” she states like I’d know who she is.
“Hi, I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are. This is a private event; how did you get in?”
“Oh, friends of Neil and Len brought me. I went to school with Neil before he moved to Washington. I’m Stephanie, you don’t remember me?” she asks.
“I’m sorry, but I’m drawing a blank. I’d love to chat more but I’m getting ready to make a big speech,” I say trying to blow her off.
“Oh, we got together before you left for the Navy. Remember the party? I was hoping that if you’re still single we can maybe have a drink or dinner? I’d like to get to know you better,” she smiles and drops her head but I don’t miss the way her cheeks turn red from embarrassment.
I take her all in, and she’s a very beautiful woman, however, she doesn’t even hold a candle to Len. I turn back towards the door and glance back at Stephanie.
“Look, that’s a great offer, however, I’m in a very serious relationship.”
“Okay, well, it’s great seeing you again, Dante.” She turns and walks off to a table full of people who, I’m assuming, are the friends from school.
I turn back to the stage and take a deep breath. I’m starting to shake and my hands are getting sweaty because I’m about to ask her to marry me in front of over two hundred people. I hate speeches as well, but I can’t wait to get this done. I’ve been waiting for years.
I turn back when I hear the door open, I watch as the twins enter the room. Each has a girl on their arm. I glance behind them trying to spot Len. I don’t see her. My heart starts to pound and I hear ringing in my ears. I rush up to them.
“Hey, where’s Len?” I ask them.
“I’ve no clue. Last I saw she was on the dance floor. Carlo and I went outside to meet our dates. We haven’t seen her since then,” Nicoli says then he looks over at Carlo.
“You didn’t walk her to the bathroom? Shit!” I run to the door.
I hear footsteps pounding behind me, but I don’t look back. I run to the bathroom and pound on the door and open it screaming her name. I’m met with silence. I rush in looking into the stalls. The bathroom is empty. I turn and race past the guys, who are all standing around the door. I hurry up to the front desk, grabbing my phone from my pocket and pull up a picture of Len.
“Did you see this girl leave the hotel?” I say, holding out my phone to the guy at the desk.
“No sir, I haven’t seen her since she came downstairs with you for the gathering. I did leave the desk for about thirty minutes due to an emergency call from a room upstairs,” he states.
“What kind of emergency?” I growl out.
“I’m sorry sir, I’m not allowed to divulge that information,” He explains to me.
“Yes, you damn well will! We already talked to your manager about this. I’m Dante with Seal Security. We need to know what kind of emergency! A woman’s life is at stake!” I roar out.
“Oh, you’re with Seal Security? I need to see some identification before I can announce anything,” he states.
I jerk my wallet out and slam it open onto the counter showing my information and next to it my PI license that shows the name of the company.
“Now talk!”
“Okay, I got a call about an emergency and had to rush to take care of it. Which was weird, because nothing was wrong with the room. The guy told me the pipes had burst, so I had to run up there and figure out what was going on. Once I got in, I looked through the suite and saw nothing was wrong,” he tells me.
“Fuck! He got her!” I scream and fall to my knees.
I’m lost in thoughts of what just happened. I turn to see the girls come running out from the party. I can’t believe I’ve failed her. I’ll find her, and I’ll kill him. He can’t take her from me. I won’t let it happen. I stand up and start dialing the number to Detective Walters so we can start moving forward on finding her.
I’m coming, Len. I’ll make this right. Stay strong, mio tutto. I’m coming for you.

LEN
Thirty minutes earlier…
The girls and I are laughing hard at Sara’s attempt at line dancing. For someone who is amazingly beautiful, she can’t dance worth shit. At least she’s trying, unlike someone else who isn’t.
I glance over my shoulder and see Dante talking to my brother, whose eyes are locked on Sara. He has a fierce look on his face. I turn back to Sara and can tell she’s trying to ignore it because she keeps glancing out of the corner of her eye towards him. I don’t get it really. When I met her in college, she was very quiet and shy. She’s come out of her shell a lot since, but still hides behind her mask. I’m hoping she’ll finally come out with it. I know she doesn’t want to tell us, thinking we would shoulder it, but she doesn’t understand that that’s what family does.
I see Mom walking towards me. I guess it’s time to do the announcements. I’d asked Mom to let me do it because I wanted to let everyone know how happy I was to have my brother back. I’d missed him terribly and I was so proud of what he and the boys had done. Plus, I want to show everyone here that Dante’s mine.
“Len, it’s time for the announcement. Neil and Dante are getting the guys to the stage,” she tells me in my ear.
“Okay, Mom, I just need to go to the bathroom really quick. Then, I’ll be right there,” I tell her pointing to the door.
She nods at me and turns to walk away. I tell the girls I’m going to the bathroom and head that way.
I walk out of the stall and almost run into my friend Stacy from high school.
“Hey Len, long time no see. How’s everything?” she asks.
“Things are going great for once. Remember that guy I used to talk about? The one who was a brother to the boys that used to come visit during the summer?” she nods at me so I continue, “Well, we’re finally together.”
“Wait, the guy that was with your brother a second ago?”
“Yeah, why?” I question staring at her.
She starts fidgeting and looks over at the door like she doesn’t want to have this conversation.
“Stacy, what’s up?”
“Shit. Okay, my friend Stephanie said she knew Dante from back in the day and that she always had a thing for him from their night together. She was going to go talk to him and see if he wanted to pick up where they left off. When I was getting ready to head into the bathroom I saw her with her arms wrapped around him, and he was relaxed in her hold. I’m so sorry, Len,” she whispers the last words out.
I smile slightly and nod my head at her trying to hold my emotions in. She gives my arm a gentle squeeze and walks out of the door. I gather my thoughts and decide that I need to go and confront him about this information before I stand up and say something stupid during my speech.
I freshen up my makeup quickly and do a once over. I decide that’s the best I’m going to get.
Right when I’m ready to head out, I take one more glance in the mirror, and I see someone with a dark hoodie on behind me. It takes me a moment to realize that it isn’t a woman that’s standing there. I glance at the door and try to determine if I have enough time to reach it before he ge
ts to me.
I see movement out of the corner of my eye and I swing my gaze back to the man behind me to see him shake his head no. Fuck it, I can scream and hopefully get the attention of someone in the lobby.
I open my mouth but he strikes very fast covering my mouth with a cloth. I grab his arm getting ready to flip him off of me - hey I didn’t take Tae Kwon Do for nothing - when I smell something really sweet and realize the cloth is covered in chloroform.
I start to feel the effects of the drug within seconds. I’m still struggling with him in hopes that it’ll make enough noise to notify someone that something is wrong. My vision starts to blur, but I glance back into the mirror and see eyes I have seen before.
That’s when everything goes black…
DANTE
The video from the front desk doesn’t show the hallway where the bathrooms are. Also, the camera right outside the exit door at the end of the hall was covered. We went through the room Len and I are in and found a note laid out on the bed. Her stuff was gone too.
The note threw us all off. I don’t believe it at all. KCPD said they have to go through everything before they do anything. We’ve shown them everything, but still they have to follow protocol. We have protocol we have to follow as security, but it isn’t as in depth as the police. Lucky and Sin are currently at the office working on things.
I’m sitting on the bed looking at the copy of the note that was left behind.
I know you’re going to be upset when you see this, but I hope you understand why I had to. I’m leaving for a while. I decided that this isn’t the life I really wanted. I’m off to find that life. I’ll be in contact here and there to let you know that I’m okay. Don’t worry about me. I promise I’m okay and have everything I need to restart my life.
Yours Always,
Len
Something about it doesn’t seem right. Honestly the whole thing screams that it isn’t Len, even if it is her handwriting. But there’s something I’m missing in the note that I’m not catching. We’ve all looked it over and still nothing.
