Elemental Fear
Page 36
As I leant forward spent, I pressed my flushed face into the desk. I heard him chuckle behind me. “That was the sexiest bloody thing I think I’ve ever seen,” he said and I could hear the smile in his voice. He kissed my back and slowly removed his hand from between my clamped legs.
I smiled and a soft laugh left my lips “I’m shattered now” I sighed.
He chuckled again, pulling me down onto his lap seating us both in his desk chair. I curled up in his lap wrapping my arms around his neck and tucking my legs up onto his knee.
“How do you feel?” He asked quietly resting his cheek on top of my head. “Dreamy” I sighed “Perfect” one word answers were all I could articulate right now.
He remained silent and I closed my eyes feeling the gentle rhythm of his chest rising and falling. I smiled against his chest.
“I feel only you.” I whispered “It’s the most perfect feeling ever” I smiled lifting my head to look at him.
He looked down at me with the most profound look of love in his eyes. I shifted my weight in his lap to face him more his hands clamped down on my hips holding me immobile. “Don’t...” He groaned.
“What’s wrong?” I asked but didn’t need an answer when I felt his very rigid swollen erection prodding my thigh. “Oh...do I need to do anything?” I asked feeling ridiculous. I had no idea what to do without direction.
“No...I’m fine.” He gritted out when I shifted again.
I looked down at his lap. I wanted to feel him; it was that moment when you needed to try something new even though you knew without a doubt you would be utterly terrible at the act, you needed to experience it.
“Can I touch you?” I said quietly. “Like you touched me?” I lifted my eyes and watched his expression through my lashes.
“You don’t have to. It’s not like that...I didn’t touch you to get anything in return. I wanted to touch you”
“I want to touch you Dominic. I admit, I don’t know what to do, I’ve never...I’m probably going to be terrible at touching you...but I’d like to try. Tell me what you like” I watched as he swallowed, his eyes were filled with desperate longing.
“Are you sure?”
I bit my lip smiling and nodded. I lifted myself up on his lap, placing my knees either side of him in his large leather desk chair straddling his lap. I looked up at his face for confirmation I could touch him. He simply nodded. He leaned back in his chair grabbing a hold of the arms on the chair, his gloriously naked chest was in full view. My eyes took their fill memorising his form from the base of his neck, his chest, the dark nubs of his nipples and the devilishly sexy trail of hair that lead from his navel down into his trousers.
Slowly I reached out and undid his belt, the button before slowly pulling the zipper down. My little finger brushed against his hardened length making it jerk in his boxers.
I put both index fingers into the waistband of his boxers and slowly pulled the taught elastic over his impressive erection. It sprang free pointing at me.
“At ease soldier” I teased.
“He knows who’s in charge” Dominic choked out. His entire body was a tense mass of muscle. His hands gripped at the chair.
I ran my finger over his tip and his cock bobbed with excitement. I traced my finger down the length of him, not quite believing I was actually touching this part of Dominic. It felt sacred for some reason. I circled my finger around the base of him before taking him in my fist and holding him gently.
“Jesus fucking Christ.” He bit out, his body jerking almost throwing me off his lap.
I looked up into his pained face, his eyes tightly closed, his head thrown back and his entire body rigid. I immediately let go of him.
“Am I hurting you?” I asked feeling like I wanted to cry. I knew I’d be bad but I never wanted –
“It hurts because it’s too fucking good. Don’t stop baby.” He took my hand in his and wrapped our hands around him. My hand touching him as his hand guided my hand up and down his length. I watched mesmerised as our hands pleasured him, and that deep feeling low in my core started to tingle.
“Kiss me Eve” his voice held a note of pleading but that was one thing he would never need to beg from me.
I leaned forward and pressed my mouth to his, sucking his bottom lip into my mouth, I bit down softly causing him to moan. His free hand lifted and cupped the back of my head. He deepened the kiss, pushing his tongue hungrily into my mouth. His hand moved my hand over him faster, tightening slightly as he reached his tip.
I rocked my hips against our hands feeling a need within me, the undeniable itch I needed scratching. His hand at the back of my head slid down my back to cup my bottom, I moaned at the sensation, rocking harder against us. He released his hold of my hand and I continued the motion of stroking him, squeezing at the tip.
“Perfect Eve, fucking perfect.” He whispered against my lips.
His hand slid between my thighs to my wet and needy core. I thrust my hips against his fingers needing him to touch me. Pleading with my body for him to take the ache away.
I gasped loudly and called out when I felt his finger slide inside of me.
“Ahh” I half moaned, half cried out.
Dominic froze his fingers still inside me. I opened my eyes to see him watching me.
“Does it hurt?” He asked.
I stared at him a moment and shifted my hips against his fingers. I closed my eyes becoming accustomed to the sensation. My heart hammered in my chest, did I like the sensation? Was the invasion of his finger welcome? I rolled my hips slightly and when a beautiful tingling rocked through me, I slowly opened my eyes and shook my head; a small smile lifted the corners of my mouth.
“Perfect Dominic...fucking perfect” I whispered repeating his words from moments ago.
The smile that spread across his face almost me shatter in his arms. He flexed his finger inside me and I moaned loudly closing my eyes. I started pumping at his length. He pulled me to him, kissing me with a desperate urgency.
I felt burning desire building within me and rolled against his fingers, his thumb pressed against my clit and he curled his fingers making my world shattered. He swallowed my cries with his kisses. His teeth bit down on my lip as his body shuddered, he pulled back resting his head against his chair his eyes tightly shut
Knock knock!
I turned my head to the door just as Dominic called out his orgasm.
“Conference caaaaaaallll.” He all but bellowed before going rigid and hot wetness covered my hand. A low sexy growl escaped him as his eyes snapped open watching me.
I watched him as his eyes cleared and reality seeped into his orgasm induced thoughts. He smiled and looked down at my hand still wrapped around him.
I pressed my forehead against his and smiled like a buffoon. “Was that okay?” I asked smiling.
“You lady, are going to be the death of me.” He joked.
“I love you.” I whispered
“Best fucking words in the English language,” he said “I love you baby and thank you. Thank you for trusting me, for loving me but more than anything, for being you. Perfect Eve, my girlfriend.” He pressed his lips against my temple.
“Did I do it right?” I asked looking down at his lap.
“I’d say so, the ol’fella doesn’t respond like that to everyone you know.” He laughed. I frowned slightly thinking of what just happened.
“Eve, what’s wrong?”
I shook my head but knew lying would be futile “You...were...inside me” I said quietly and after what had just happened still blushed.
“My fingers were yeah,” he said looking at me trying to gage my reaction.
“It didn’t hurt?” I said almost questioning myself.
I looked up to see him smiling at me. I smiled back when what I had just experienced hit me full in the chest.
“It didn’t hurt” I said again proudly. “I’m not frigid...it felt normal...it didn’t hurt” Dominic pulled me to his chest wrapp
ing his arms tightly around me.
“Wonder who was at the door?” I asked.
“Probably the little shit wanting to see my woman naked.” Dominic grumbled, I knew he was trying to sound annoyed but the smile on his face spoilt the effect.
“We better get dressed before they come back.” I said slowly getting up from Dominic’s lap and reaching for my clothes.
“Hey I’m dressed, no need for me to move.” Dominic smiled lifting his hands locking them behind his head and relaxing back into this chair, a totally satisfied smile on his face. His bare chest looked appetising. His hard abs glistened with his seed, and his flaccid cock lay heavy, completely satiated.
“No woman but me gets to see you like that.” I said pointing at him.
“Possessive?” He quipped lifting an eyebrow at me.
I nodded, suddenly a little unsure; Elliott sometimes gave me that look before –
“I like it” Dominic interrupted before my mind wondered down a dark path. “I like being your man, someone you feel possessive of.”
“Well get dressed, we can’t be giving the lunch room anymore gossiping fuel.” I slid my shirt on and started buttoning it up.
“For fuck’s sake are they still at it?” He asked wiping himself with his handkerchief before tucking himself back in his boxers and fastening his trousers.
“Yep, you’re their favourite topic. Especially since coming back from Paris with love bites, I really didn’t think you’d see them with your shirt collar.” I said apologetically.
“They need to get a life, I like you losing control. You’re a hot little fire rocket when you get going and those catty mares are not going to spoil it,” he said pointing his finger in the direction of the lunch room.
I nodded and continued getting dressed. He tucked his shirt back in his trousers and walked over to unlock the door. I smiled as I walked towards him. He leaned down and kissed me slowly.
“Stay with me tonight,” he said. “Or I could stay at yours so we don’t have to put up with paint
fumes.”
“I like that idea, I don’t want to leave Lou tonight, she was a little upset after...everything. What about we get a takeout?”
“We can go to mine first after work so I can grab some clothes and my shaving gear and go to yours.”
“Okay” I smiled. “See you later?”
He reached out and pulled the cord lifting his blinds “Oh I’ll see you before then baby, it’s my favourite view”.
To say my day went smoothly would be an understatement. It was bloody perfect. After leaving Dominic’s office I went to the lunchroom to get a hot drink and found it completely empty, no snide comments, no badgering for secret info on Dominic nothing. Total bliss. My results were all good, data entered easily into format. Life right now felt pretty good. Especially seeing as I was in Dominic’s car on our way to my house to spend the night together.
I explained about Johan coming to live with Lou and I, he grumbled but I believe it was more for effect than actual annoyance. We grabbed some Chinese takeout on our way and the car smelt delicious, my stomach grumbled in anticipation.
Dominic pulled into the driveway and turned off the ignition. We walked into the foyer and I placed the food on the entry way table and took my coat off. As I turned to pick up the food, Dominic cupped my face in his large hands and pressed me to the wall taking my breath away with searing hot kiss.
“Dominic put my sister down.” Lou chided from the kitchen doorway. We both turned our attention towards her. My face heated. She had a huge grin on her face as she put something in her mouth a chewed. She winked, turned and left us alone again.
I laughed and pressed my face into Dominic’s shoulder.
“I feel fifteen again and caught kissing Sarah Elvington behind the bike sheds by Mr Hartley the bloody P.E teacher”
I giggled again and pressed my hands against his chest.
“Better than being caught with a lad’s hand half way up your top in the Science storage cupboard by the deputy head” I laughed and walked towards the kitchen.
“Who was it? I’ll break his fucking fingers. And what were you doing in the storage cupboard anyway?”
I turned and gave him a sassy little smile over my shoulder that said ‘what do you think?’
“It’s a good job we weren’t in the same year Eve; I’d have been in jail for murder now. But seriously who was the dickhead?”
I laughed ignoring him and walked into the kitchen. I heard him grumbling behind me but I couldn’t help the happy serene feeling of absolute contentment. It was nice to feel normal, and joke about such things.
Chapter 29
We were all sitting in the kitchen eating our takeout when a knock came at the front door. Stuffing a duck roll into his mouth Dominic stood and left the kitchen. We could hear muffled voices from the hallway before Dominic came back into the kitchen with a serious look on his face. I leaned forward to see down the hallway as the same officer and a plain clothed woman from the police station entered the kitchen.
“Hello Miss Beaumont. This is inspector Firth. She will be leading the investigation following your allegation, may we have a word in private?” The first officer said, for the life of me I couldn’t remember her name.
The inspector looked around the kitchen and smiled at Johan and Lou, who sat in silence staring at the officers. I slowly got to my feet and walked around the table.
“Do you want me to come with you Eve?” asked Lou. I turned to her and caught her pale complexion. I smiled and shook my head.
I lifted my hand and motioned for the officers to go into the lounge. Dominic stood in the doorway staring at me, I could see from his expression he didn’t know what to do. I took his hand and walked into the lounge, silently requesting his support. He squeezed my hand and followed. My heart fluttered knowing he would stand by me. I closed the lounge door quietly. The officers sat on the sofa, I sat in the chair and Dominic sat on the chair arm with his arm around my shoulders. A simple gesture but very effective in offering comfort.
The uniformed officer took out a little note pad and a pen and turned her radio down.
“Miss Beaumont –“
“Call me Eve, please” I said quietly.
“Eve, last night we arrested Elliott Layton following the allegations you made. He is currently in police custody awaiting charges to be brought against him. Now we explained that because there was not forensic evidence at the time to support your allegation of physical abuse and sexual assault that pressing charges would be difficult.” She paused and I nodded. I felt Dominic tense beside me.
“Well it seems Elliott has an alibi for his whereabouts during the alleged attacks.” I frowned.
“You said...” the inspector produced my statement from her leather bag “you made a statement saying that on the 17th September 2013 the accused Elliott Layton beat you in your home after a night out at a local pub.” She looked up at me and I nodded in confirmation.
“You also state that no one saw Elliott escort you home, and that you told people you were attacked outside the pub. Is that correct?”
“Yes” I choked.
“You also told the medical staff...Dr. Bennett the appointed physician at the time, your injuries were sustained from an attack by strangers?”
Again I nodded.
“You also claim that...I quote ‘a week or so later’ he attacked you again. You needed medical attention but refused and this time a...Johan Senior assisted you. We have spoken to Mr Senior and he corroborates your story and also added he witnessed an argument between you and Mr Layton the night of the 17th.” She looked up at me and I nodded feeling tears prickle my eyes.
“The problem we have Eve, is that a witness has come forward and expressed that the times you have alleged the attacks took place Elliott was with them at home.”
My head shot up and I frowned not understanding.
“When we arrested Elliott at his home address in Manchester his girlf
riend attested to his where about. She claims that you have been stalking Elliott, that you once had a sexual relationship with him but –“
“Wait a minute. My brother has a girlfriend?” Dominic interrupted. The inspector scowled up at him and nodded.
“She claims you have been causing problems between them for a while and that you even approached her whilst she was taking their son –“
“He has a fucking kid?” Dominic bellowed.
“Mr...”
“Layton. Dominic Layton...Elliott is my brother”
She nodded as the uniformed officer scribbled in her notepad
“We understand Elliott resides permanently in Manchester with his girlfriend and son.” She paused and looked at me “I can see Eve this is news to you”
I nodded. “I didn’t know” I choked out, my voice barely above a whisper. If he had a family why did he torture me for so long? Was I that despicable?
“And you are saying you have never met this woman?” I shook my head. The uniformed officer wrote down what I said.
“So the problem we now face is that he has a firm alibi and you have no witnesses. You claim that the attacks happened when no one was around and you hid the injuries and discarded of any forensic evidence. You also claim he used contraception so we have been unable to find any semen –“
“It’s...I understand. I never did think I’d be believed. I just wanted it all to stop” my voice quivered at the enormity of what I had done.
