The Vegas Random

by Ellie Gerrard

  For the first time since I married him, I felt like I’d made a really good decision. That we would work together and make it work. That this was going to be long term, not just two years.

  Charlie

  Who knew shooting was so much fun? Or that killing targets could be so satisfying? Seriously, I wish I’d found this sport sooner. It would’ve made those hard, shitty weeks at the office so much better. And the Smith men, they were so much fun. Rough and uncultured and man, could they swear. I’d only ever seen them with the girls around. They’d been nice and all but apparently, on their best behavior.

  Everything was a joke. They would literally ‘take the piss’ out of anything and anyone. And crude? I now understood how Kate could have rolled with us in Vegas and not batted an eyelid. They made me feel like a brother. I hadn’t had a lot of male friends, mostly because I was competitive, dominant. I liked women, whom to a certain extent, I could control.

  Ben was my closest male friend. Like the Smiths, they didn’t bullshit me, gave me shit and listened when I talked which made me sit up when they spoke.

  I sat drinking beers with them at my place which was a first because I never had anyone over socially. Ben arrived with Ian and Richard and we drank more beer. I told them about shooting.

  “He is pretty good. He keeps up training, he’ll be better than Ben.” Gerrard had a dig at Ben.

  He grinned while he opened his beer. “Next, he will be joining the military.” Ben smirked at me. “Be a sniper like your ex-wife.”

  I laughed. “I think that is a skill that she can keep.” I looked at my brothers. “How goes the workout Ben dared you to?”

  “What workout?” Brian asked putting another beer to his lips.

  Ben told him about the dare and Brian smirked as he listened. “You know to do that right, you gotta do hell week.”

  “Nah, not fair on them, Ian especially, four kids at home and Katie. He needs to be able to give them time,” Ben said.

  Every man there stopped and stared at him.

  “What?” he asked.

  “You just called her Katie. I don’t even call her Katie.” Ian grinned.

  “I thought you didn’t want to know her.” Richard chuckled. Another dig at him, as he deserved it. “Now, you’re giving her a nickname only her parents would give her.”

  Ben sighed and shook his head. “I haven’t really talked to her since I got back.”

  “Yeah, so give her a call, or go see her.” Ian looked at him. “She is your sister.”

  “One I didn’t know about until she contacted me or have it confirmed when the Will was read.”

  All eyes snapped to Ben who looked like he just had the cat let out of the bag.

  I smiled slowly.

  “She didn’t know anything about her father, nothing but a photo and a name.” Brian watched him. “Are you telling me, your old man knew about her?”

  Ben took a breath and nodded. “One-night stand in Vegas, quickie marriage even quicker divorce and a pregnancy. He thought he’d made a mistake. He thought the woman was a stripper.” He sighed. “He didn’t know she was a young police officer. She contacted him told him she was pregnant. He had women he never even slept with tell him that. He ignored it. She sent him a photo of Kate after she was born and told him a friend had married her, so she wasn’t born a bastard but she was given his name. Said he could see her if he chose to. He got a photo of her every year on her birthday. I found them when I was cleaning up the house. She was a cute kid. No denying that she was his daughter, she has his eyes.”

  “So why never meet her then?” Billy questioned. “It was all she ever wanted. She wrote to him twice to tell him her parents had passed and when she moved over here to the states, she wanted to meet him…”

  “He died before he could read the last letter.” Ben shook his head. “He left some things in the Will for her though.”

  All eyes went back on Ben.

  I cocked my head to the side. “Why haven’t you given it to her then?”

  Ben frowned. “Well, it just didn’t seem like the right time. He gave her my grandmother’s rings, jewelry and twenty percent stocks in his business. She has had a lot going on and when things settle down, I will sit her down nice and quiet like and give it all to her.”

  “A couple rings and what? A few necklaces? You want to wait to give her that?” Gerrard scoffed and took a drink of his beer.

  “The jewelry and rings are worth more than 70 million,” Ben stated flatly.

  Gerrard sprayed his beer out in shock.

  I laughed, enjoying the surprise on his face as he roughly wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stared at Ben.

  Both men looked at each other.

  “You are kidding?”

  “Grandma was from old money. The jewelry has been handed down generations. No, I am not kidding.”

  “If you’re old money what the fuck were you doing running around in warzones?” Brian muttered shaking his head. “You were your father’s heir. Why wouldn’t he talk you out of it?”

  “Because he was a SEAL too.” Ben smiled.

  I watched Ian and Richard with amusement. Ben was getting himself another set of brothers. Ian and Richard would have their support too. Why didn’t I have more boy’s nights?

  They of course, went home to their wives a couple hours later.

  Ian stopped as he was leaving and looked at me. “Come home with me. I was thinking about covering Kate in food and licking her clean.”

  I smiled broadly. “Really?” I went to my cabinet and got a bottle of Bollinger. “Let’s go.”

  Kate

  I’d gotten all the kids to bed after Ian had decided to go drinking with Charlie for the afternoon. I wasn’t pissed off, I was happy to have a shower and think. I got out of the shower and was completely off in my own world as I was drying myself. I didn’t see the door open but when I stood up and looked in the mirror, Ian was behind me. He wore a smirk on his beautiful face and not a stitch of clothing on him.

  For a moment, we just stared at each other. I grinned then bent over to finish drying my legs.

  His hands went on my hips a moment later. “Charlie is here, would you like to play?” he asked in that deep sexy, seductive voice of his that made me wet. His hand landed on my bum with a playful tap. “You’re a very naughty girl bent over like that.” Another slap on my other cheek. “You need a spanking to get you warmed up I think.”

  I smiled. I didn’t mind getting spanked. For me, it didn’t hurt and was kind of relaxing if I were to be honest. There was a rhythm to it. I stood up and put the towel on the rack.

  His hand went into my hair at the nape. “Come wife, your sweet ass is going to glow a pretty pink. And I want to fuck your lovely face.”

  I grinned as he walked me from the bathroom to the playroom where Charlie was waiting with rope. He smiled and got a hold of my wrists, binding them behind my back as Ian effectively kissed me blind.

  I moaned and surrendered myself to these two beautiful men.

  I didn’t really consider myself a submissive person, I loved control, but I loved what these two had done for me so far. Ian took my face between his hands and gave me his neck and I kissed and nipped at it before he directed my head down his chest to his nipple which I gave a good nip. He yelped and my arse stung a moment later. My arms were pulled up behind my back and then my legs were kicked a little wider. I was bent at a ninety-degree angle.

  I was spanked by both, I was face fucked by both, and when they were certain my arse was red enough, I was tied to a table and blindfolded. Music was turned on and sensory overload took its place.

  Charlie

  Ian and I didn’t talk as we ate strawberries and chocolate off Kate we dribbled hot chocolate over her and licked her clean. We ran ice over her just to chill her before going back to the chocolate.

  Ian got the bottle of champagne and pointed at her glistening cunt. He poured a glass as I got down and planted kisses on h
er.

  I ran my tongue up her slit and then pierced her with my tongue because I loved the way she tasted. Ian poured the champagne down her slit. She cried out and jerked as I lapped it up like a thirsty dog. The bubbles and the cold would have tickled and chilled her.

  Ian poured more on her body then lapped it as she cried out and writhed against the restraints. Hot and cold. Hot and cold. Ian drank from her and I could see that he would spend a lot of time doing that. Ian got the flogger and brought it down on her to change up the sensations. She cried out but he hit her three more times before kissing every red mark.

  I growled, stood up, pumped myself a couple times and put the top of my cock just inside her. Ian pinched her nipples hard and I slammed into her. Her cry was pure ecstasy. Her pussy was a tight, wet haven. Heaven on earth.

  Ian grabbed her hair and kissed her mouth and jaw. “He loves to fuck you, Kate. Feel him inside you. Feel his cock in your cunt. Feel how wet, how tight you are around him.” Ian poked his tongue in her ear and she whimpered. He whispered filthy words in her ear caressing and stroking her skin.

  She came hard and me being even more of an ass than normal, led her into a couple more orgasms before letting her rest.

  As a Dom, my biggest job was the after care. Bathing, rubbing cream into the welts I’d caused. Cuddling and telling my sub how fucking proud and honored I was to have been the one she put her trust in.

  Ian, as husband in Vegas, did the aftercare with Kate, but one of the kids woke up and he went off to put them back to bed while I cared for her.

  She watched me with exhausted but sated eyes. But it was the love in them that she had just for me that made me want to protect her. I lay down beside her and spooned her body against mine.

  “Are you coming for lunch tomorrow?” she asked softly as I lay her little body in the bed.

  I shook my head. “No, I’m going to have lunch with Tammy and Susan, maybe take them shopping. Then I’m going to Mom and Dad’s for dinner. And on Friday night, I am going to get everyone together for a jam session because I think we sounded awesome in Vegas. And then Sunday is family lunch with Mom and Dad and then it’s the beginning of a whole new week where anything can happen.”

  I kissed her hair and felt the moment that Kate fell asleep, mumbling that she loved me as she did.

  Kate

  The week dragged on. Charlie didn’t come back in for lunch, which kind of sucked because I liked my lunch-time fuck-time. But I got a heap of answers and with it, a heap of problems to sort out. His company was in great shape but there were changes that were going to happen hard and fast. I may not have worn a suit to work but they were getting the message that I was not to be fucked with.

  I did enjoy going home and spending time with the kids and the animals which was where I spent a lot of my time after Chris and before Charlie and Ian had become part of our lives. I used my time wisely by getting to know Tim and Evie. And giving Ryan and Ella some much needed attention. I needed to learn how to juggle my new life. I needed to learn fast, four children, a massive business and a husband which I barely knew a thing about.

  Which was all my fault. I had moments where I opened up to him but I don’t know, he was beautiful, smart and funny and he played my body like I’d known him forever in Vegas but there hadn’t been anything except a little kissing and cuddling since then. Well, except in the playroom the other night but I’m not sure that head counts for consummating a marriage.

  I guess I got shy when I went to talk to him. I needed to snap out of it. He was my husband and if we were going to work, we would have to communicate openly. But Charlie, I could talk to about anything.

  I lay on the grass brushing the dogs with the kids.

  “Mum, I was thinking that I want to go to gymnastics,” Ella said thoughtfully. “Ava already does gymnastics and I think it would be fun.”

  I looked at my little girl. “Ok. If you want to try something new.”

  “Can we go to baseball?” Ryan asked.

  I smiled. “That sounds like fun”

  The boys both seemed happy about it.

  “Shorty, the dogs really like being brushed but not as much as the tats.” Evie smiled.

  I grinned. “The cats do really love being brushed.” Evie was pretty with her dark hair and curls. In total contrast to Ella with her blonde hair and curls. I liked it when Tim and Evie would sit close but not touch like they wanted attention but were shy. I decided to let them come to me.

  I needed to get to know them and I hoped I would be a good mother to them. Although, the little I knew of Aria, she probably wouldn’t have approved of my parenting style.

  “Hello, my minions,” Ian said from behind us making me jump.

  The kids of course, found that funny.

  Ian chuckled as he sat down on the grass, picked up a brush and began brushing one of the Sheppard’s. It lay there and sighed as Ian spoke, “How was everyone’s day?”

  The kids told him how I’d agreed for them to go to gymnastics and baseball and how excited they were. Then they wanted to do all sorts of other stuff like dancing and we were going to do it all as a family. I sat staring at the kids like they were off their heads. I agreed to baseball and gymnastics. But Ian stayed engaged and agreed to it.

  It was good that they were wanting to do things as a family. It would be good to bond. I would just have to juggle it all. It was then I was very thankful for Joe and Rita living here, doing the housework and sorting out the gardens and animals when we weren’t here. They kept the household stable. I made a mental note to thank both of them.

  My kids had settled in because they had a solid routine and were firm. I was thinking about a lot of things when a big hand touched my shoulder. I looked up and Ian was watching me.

  “Are you ok?” he asked, his eyes always watching me, seeing me, reading me. “You were quite chatty before I announced myself.”

  “I’m ok, I’m just thinking about heaps of things.” I tried to smile and failed.

  He moved closer to me and I hugged him, his big arms a cocoon of safety and comfort. “You aren’t doing this alone.”

  I nodded. “The bits I talk to you about is what I need to talk to you about. The rest is mental notes to do things and getting my shit in order.”

  “You know I don’t mind listening if you just want to tell me what shit you need to get together. Maybe saying it aloud will help you sort it.”

  I stayed silent, I didn’t really want to talk but I had to give him something. “I only agreed to the baseball and the gymnastics. Everything else, they come up with on the fly.”

  Ian chuckled. “Sounds fun though.”

  Charlie

  I’d spent the day with Tammy walking through her design house before we had lunch and gone shopping. I spoiled my little sister rotten with clothes, shoes and diamonds. Not that she needed it, the woman had a wardrobe the size of a large bedroom. I listened to her hopes and dreams and when we were finished, I took her home so I could really talk to her.

  She sat with me on the couch, she’d been cuddly as a child. She was still like that now.

  “I want to talk about Vince,” I stated.

  She rolled her eyes.

  I slapped her leg. “Don’t be a petulant child, Tammy. I want to talk about Vince.”

  “There is no Vince.” She spat rubbing her leg. “Ben made him go away. Why did you slap me!”

  “Because you rolled your eyes. You know that’s rude.”

  “Kate does it all the time and you don’t slap her!”

  “If she was mine Tammy, the woman wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week from the cane marks on her ass. Now tell me about your trouble with Vince. Don’t you sugar coat it. I want to know what’s going on.”

  “I don’t want you to worry.” She teared up. “I want you to be stress free.”

  “I’m more stressed not knowing.” I took her hand. “Why did you go to Ben and not to us?”

  “Because Vince said he wou
ld kill you if I did,” she answered softly. “He didn’t say anything about going to Ben.”

  We sat and talked and the fact that Vince had been stalking her for 6 months. It made my blood boil. The fact that he’d broken into her apartment and raped her? Well, I was damn near explosive. “Have you told Ben all this?” I asked gently, controlling my anger. Only. Just. Controlling. My. Anger.

  She nodded. “He made me report it. Vince was interviewed and he has an alibi. Ben said he would sort it out.”

  Inner me smirked before wondering if I had enough to hire Larry and put him on a retainer for Ben, Kate and the family for the rest of his working career. The man was a legal weapon. I decided that I would do that regardless. If Ben was sorting it out, he might just need a good lawyer.

  Tammy sat quietly while I hugged her then brought up the subject of Ben, “How do you like living with Ben?” I asked.

  “He’s a clean freak. Everything has a place. If it doesn’t have a place, it goes in the bin. He doesn’t really have a lot of stuff. He just has what he needs. Not like my place. I have lamps, rugs and pictures up. He has three photos up in his room. One of his Dad, one of his Mom and last night, he put a very cute photo of Kate when she was little beside them.”

  I smiled. Ben had people over as often as I did. Very private man. “So, when I’m gone, do you think you might move in with Ben on a more permanent basis?”

  “I’m just staying there because I am a wreck and he is worrying all the time. There isn’t anything going on.”

  “Come on Tammy, are you seriously going to tell me that he’s doing all this for you and you’re effectively living with him and there is nothing going on?”

  “I can’t tolerate the thought of being touched. I don’t want to be touched. When this is over, I will go back to my flat and be fine.”

  “So, there is no attraction of any sort to him?”

  “NO! Of course not! He is so big and a little scary. No, I don’t want a man like that. He is nice and his kisses are nice.”
