“Hurry up!” Camilla yelled, not understanding that I was literally going as fast as my body would allow me to go. It turned out that she was not a very patient woman because once I got about halfway down, she pushed me, knocking me off the steps and to the concrete ground below.
In midair, I tried to compensate for losing my balance and ended up falling hard on my side. All the air in my body was knocked out of me and I was having a difficult time trying to get any air at all.
On top of the air, the storm shelter was musty and dirty smelling. It had the distinct scent of moth balls, kind of like an old attic or your grandmother’s closet. It was obvious that the storm shelter was installed and never used again.
Camilla looked down into the shelter from above and could tell I was scared. She taunted me and made fun of me like it was all some kind of brutal game.
Maybe to her, it was but I was in fear for my life and her taunts just furthered my belief that something bad was about to happen to me.
Once she was done badmouthing me and calling me every name in the book, she slammed the door closed and latched it from the outside. I was trapped and had no way to get out.
Once the door had been closed, I was sitting in darkness. Not the kind of darkness that you get in your bedroom at night when, if you concentrate, you can still see your hand when you hold it out in front of your face.
This was total darkness. Pitch black. I’m not scared of the dark but with it being combined with being in such a small, enclosed area, I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
I stood up and felt all around the walls hoping to find something that could help me escape. While there were no tools or anything, I did manage to find a light switch, which was nearly as good at that particular time. With the light on, I realized what a tight space I was in.
The shelter was not meant to be in for a long period of time. Four or five people could fit in there standing up and wouldn’t be very comfortable for much longer than it would take a tornado to pass by.
I didn’t know what else I could do so I pressed my back against the wall and allowed myself to slide down to the floor. The only thing left to do was wait and see what they were going to do to me.
I guess I must have fallen asleep at some point. I have no clue how I was able to do so but I was startled by a crashing sound. I didn’t know what in the hell was going on but I was praying it was the cops. Maybe they had somehow got a tip that I had been kidnapped and knew right where to look.
Maybe I was about to be saved. Thinking it was the cops, of course, was only wishful thinking but I was clinging to anything that might have given me hope.
As much as I wanted to scream out, alerting whoever was there to my presence, I decided to keep my mouth shut. I had no clue what was going on and thought it might be better if whoever it was didn’t know I was there.
At one time, I heard the guys who had kidnapped me yelling at someone and then sounds of a scuffle. Within a couple minutes, the scuffle stopped. The next voice I heard was Camilla.
“What the fuck is going on out here,” she said, presumably busting through the door that connects the house to the garage. The tone of her voice changed dramatically when she realized where the noise had come from. “Liam, glad you could make it. I wondered how long it would take you to arrive.
“Let’s cut the shit, Camilla,” Liam said. “What in the hell did you do with Lexi.”
“Oh, Lexi? Wasn’t she that girl from the club? I didn’t realize you were still messing with her. She seemed like such a sweet girl too.”
“Do you think I’m stupid? I know it was your boys here that broke into my house and kidnapped her. Where is she?”
“Broke into your house? Kidnapped her? I’m afraid I have no idea what you’re referring to.”
“No? Well, Lexi managed to hit a button on my answering machine as she was being snatched. I heard Matteo’s name as clear as day. And look who I found here!”
“Liam, you’re so paranoid. Is she really the reason yo came here tonight? Are you sure that maybe you didn’t want to see me?”
“Well, maybe a little,” he replied. Was he fucking serious? I felt like I was going to throw up.
“That’s what I thought. Why are you messing with a little girl like that? There’s no way she can make you feel as good as I can. There’s no way she can step into our world and be able to keep up. Our minds are too dark. Our world would eat her alive.”
“It's hard to argue with that. Our world is pretty intense. Of course, you never had any trouble handling it.”
I was getting more pissed off than I’d ever been. I was trapped down in a fucking storm shelter and he wanted to be up there reminiscing about the good old days with his ex-girlfriend? I wanted to scream that he was a fucking asshole but something told me I needed to keep my mouth shut.
Instead, I sat there biting my lip as I listened to them go on and on. Eventually, I heard him tell her that he was sorry for not opening his eyes sooner and realizing that the two of them were meant to be together. I thought my head was going to explode when he told her to come and give him a kiss.
Everything was silent after that and I could picture them in a tight embrace, their tongues dancing around in each other’s mouth. I decided that if I ever got out of that whole, I was going to kill both of them.
From out of nowhere, more sounds of struggle erupted and I could hear Camilla screaming something unintelligible. The next sounds were those of the police, telling those above me to freeze.
Knowing that there was a police presence, I started screaming for someone to let me out. Within a few seconds, one of the officers opened the door and I ran up the stairs as quickly as possible.
Liam ran over to me and took me into his arms. I embraced him, happy to be out of the hole until I snapped out of it and needed answers.
“I heard every bit of that. I heard what you said to Camilla. What the fuck, Liam?”
“Are you talking about us being meant to be together and how much I missed her?”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I was talking about. You didn’t know I was down there so you could say whatever you wanted thinking I’d never do. Well, I do know Liam and that’s fucked up!”
“Baby, I had to say those things to her. I had no choice.”
“You had no choice? What was she doing? Holding a gun to your head?”
“Yes Lexi, that’s exactly what she was doing. She was pointing a gun right at my head. I had to tell her whatever she wanted to hear because if I didn’t, I was afraid she was going to shoot me. I told her to come kiss me so she would lower her weapon.
As soon as she was within reach, I took her down the floor and grabbed the gun out of her hand. That’s what all the commotion was about before the cops got there. I promise you that I’d never do anything to hurt you.
Feeling stupid that he would do that to me, I leaned in to hug him and didn’t let go as we watched Camilla being led away by the police officers. Now with both Kade and Camilla out of the picture, I feel like we can get on with our lives. Safely.
“How did you manage to get past her bodyguards?” I asked
“Christian is waiting for us in the car. He makes for pretty good backup.”

I was so happy to have my girl back. Those last couple of hours are what my nightmares are made of. I’d never felt this way about anybody before and, as much as those feelings scare me, I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
When I realized that Camilla was the person who had her, I was even more scared due to how unstable that crazy bitch is.
I still couldn’t believe that she would take Lexi back to her place. Did she not think I would come looking there at some point? Maybe that was her plan all along. Unfortunately for her, that plan didn’t work out quite the way she was hoping.
When I walked through the door with Lexi, Sarabelle ran over and wrapped her arms around her. I didn’t think she was ever going to let go. Those girls have alread
y lost so much in their lifetime.
Even though they don’t always get along, it would be a severe blow if one of them were to lose the other because other than Christian and myself, those girls are the only person the other has.
Christian and Sarabelle stayed for a few hours, wanting to make sure Lexi was okay after her ordeal. I could tell that she was quite a bit shaken up but she was fighting hard to avoid letting any of us see how scared she truly was.
Once her sister left, she felt more comfortable showing her emotions. It’s always amazing to me how she’ll let her guard down in front of me but can’t do it in front of her sister. You’d think it would be the other way around but I’m glad she lets me in.
Even though it was late, I ran her a hot bubble bath so she could relax. I started to give her some privacy but she asked me to stay. That whole night had left her feeling vulnerable and having me in there with her made her feel better.
While she was blow drying her hair, I used the opportunity to sneak out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. After everything she’d been through, I wanted her to see a side of me that she’d never seen before.
I wanted her to know that sex with me didn’t always have to be about power and domination. I had a side that liked things soft and sweet. It’s a side that most women have never seen before. I made my way around the bedroom, lighting small tea candles and placing them all over the dressers.
Once everything had been lit, I walked back into the bathroom and stood behind her. In the mirror, I could see that her eyes were red and puffy from hours of crying and being frightened. As soon as I knew that she was done with her hair, I scooped her up off the floor and carried her into the bedroom.
Laying her down on the bed, I stared deep into her eyes and she did the same in mine. I grabbed her hand, leaned in and whispered how much she meant to me into her ear. I could tell that my lips tickled her earlobe as her face turned red from her attempt to not start laughing.
Releasing her hand, I used my finger to trace a line beginning at her lip, down to her perfect breasts and on down to her belly button. Goosebumps formed on her skin as my fingers touched her body.
Lexi closed her eyes as I made my way over every curve and indent of her body. As my hand got lower, I leaned in and started to kiss down her neck and across her collarbone, making her toss her head back slightly.
As my hand got to the panties she had put on, I could feel how wet she was. I looked her in the eyes as I pulled them to the side and continued kissing down her neck. Watching her nipples harden, I placed my hand on top of her pussy and could feel the warmth it was putting off.
Moving on top of her to kiss her deeply, I placed one of my legs between hers. When my knee inadvertently pressed against her clitoris, a moan escaped her lips. That only made me want to kiss her even harder and deeper, wrapping my arms around her body as brought her body as close to mine as I could.
She slid her fingers through my hair and long my shoulders before moving on to my chest and stomach. Lexi kissed me back with a hunger I hadn’t experienced in her before. With my leg still in position, she closed her legs tightly on my leg, allowing her to feel my knee rub against her.
Again, she moaned before she started saying my name, almost growling it. I knew what she wanted but she was going to have to wait. I moved my other leg inside of hers before reaching down and grabbing a handful of her beautiful breasts.
Running my thumb over both of her nipples, I played with them up they were as hard as they were going to get. She was so turned on that her breathing was getting faster by the second, her chest rising and falling quickly. Without any warning, I took her right nipple into my mouth, using my tongue to trace circles around it, suckling on it like my life depended on it.
Before I went any further, I took off my boxers, allowing my hard dick to spring free. I wanted her to know what I was thinking. I wanted her to know how much she meant to me. I kissed her one more time before sitting up so I could look into her eyes.
“I love you, Lexi.”
I was scared of how she was going to react to me saying that but was relieved when I saw a smile sweep across her face. I was waiting for her to say something in response but her emotions seemed to get the better of her. I could see tears welling up in the corner of her eyes as she tried to get herself under control.
“I love you too, Liam.”
That’s all I needed to her. I loved my girl and she loved me. I bent back down and started to kiss her passionately while also reaching down to massage her clit. I was so aroused that I could barely stand it and I had a sneaking suspicion that she was as well.
While playing with her pussy, her entire body started to shake as an orgasm rocked through her. I smiled, moving my fingers from her clit to the inside of her hole, beginning with one followed by another, and then another.
With three fingers inside her tight little hole, I started pushing them in and out, getting faster and faster. I could see a combination of love and lust filling her eyes as she looked down and saw my hard cock quivering and jerking, all without being touched.
Just as she was about to cum again, I slid my fingers slowly out of her and replaced them with the head of my dick. I slowly started to push myself inside of her, realizing that she was so wet that my thickness was going to have no problem fitting inside of her small slit. I started off slowly, afraid I would hurt her if I pounded her like I wanted to from the beginning but she wanted more.
Lexi grabbed my ass and started pushing me deeper inside of her, controlling how fast I moved. The bed was rocking back and forth as I started giving it to her harder and faster. Both of us were moaning, he growling out my name and telling me to fuck her.
As intense as the sex was, it was nice to know how it felt to be loved completely by the one person you want to be loved by. I couldn’t help myself any longer. She felt so good. I let out a loud yell as I exploded inside of her, flooding her pussy with my seed.
The feeling of my orgasm was enough to put her over the edge as well. Her pussy tightened and grabbed onto my shaft as she started to buck her hips wildly. Her moans turned into screams of pleasure as she grabbed me back the back of my head and pulled me close to her, kissing me as she came.
Once we were done, I collapsed on the bed beside her, both of us trying to catch our breath. Eventually, she turned over to face me and gave me a soft, sweet kiss on the lips.
“Thank you, Liam. Thank you for everything. I love you.”
Lexi 19
The night with Liam had been incredible. He made me feel things that I’d never felt before and I’m not talking about just in the bedroom. For this first time in any relationship, I was getting to see what love felt like. Real love. True, unconditional love.
It’s strange to think that I’ve gone through life without ever experiencing that but it was nice. I loved him and he loved me. I’d had men tell me they loved me in the past. Hell, I’d even said it back to quite a few of them. None of those were like it is with Liam though. None of those were real.
As happy as I was with him, I couldn’t wait for him to leave for the office the next day. It wasn’t that I wanted him gone because I missed him every time he left the house.
I wanted him to leave because I couldn’t wait to jump on the phone so I could call my sister and tell her what he said to me. That was a conversation that was going to make me sound like such a girl and I didn’t want him to overhear me.
When he was leaving, I stood at the door so I could give him a kiss goodbye. After he had walked out, I locked the door behind him so I could hear if he came back in. Like I said, that man’s always forgetting something when he leaves.
I pulled the curtain back ever so slightly as he got into his car, backed out of the driveway and drove away. As soon as I could no longer see him, I ran into the bedroom, grabbed my cell phone and called Sarabelle.
“Oh my God, Sarabelle! You’re never going to believe what happened!”
“Liam knocked y
ou up?” she said laughing.
“What? No, you bitch,” I joked back. “He told me he loved me.”
“Oh, well it’s about time.”
“Shut up. You know how I am.”
“I know. That’s awesome! Did you say it back?”
“I did. And I actually meant it. I’m in love with him.”
“Yeah, it’s pretty obvious by the way you look at him. I think it’s great that you told each other. It’s about time you made everything official. Speaking of official. Do you want to come with me to look at wedding dresses on Friday?”
“Fuck yeah! What kind of Maid of Honor would I be if I wasn’t there?”
“A pretty bad one. Do you have your passport?”
“A passport? Why do I need a passport to look at wedding dresses with you?”
“Because Christian knows a designer who happens to be located in Paris. You wanna come?”
“Let me repeat myself. Fuck yes!”
“Okay, we’re gonna leave for the airport about 8:00 pm Thursday night. Oh, and let’s try to use fewer fucks while we travel.”
I hung up the phone and was completely psyched that I was going to be traveling to Paris. Liam had told me that morning that he had a meeting scheduled that Friday so I knew he wasn’t going to be able to go with me. That sucked but I’d always wanted to travel to France and that gave me a reason to go.
When I called Liam to tell him the news, he was happy that I was going to be able to go on the trip although I could sense some disappointment in his voice.
When I asked him about it, he said he was going to miss me since we hadn’t been apart for more than a day since we started to see one another. I thought that was sweet before assuring him we’d only be gone for a few days.
Thursday night, Liam and Christian drove Sarabelle and me to the airport. It had been ages since I’d flown anywhere and couldn’t believe how long the lines were just to get through security.
