  I look at my phone just in time to see a text from him telling me he’s on his way. “Right now. I hate this so much Meg. Things were never supposed to be this way. I never wanted to see the bad in Caleb but if he hadn’t done this, none of this would be happening. I’m so scared, I don’t want to die.”

  “Stop it,” she says holding me tighter. “No one is going to die. Don’t you say anything like that, you hear me?”

  I nod my head and pull away from her. She’s wiping her eyes and putting on the bravest smile she can. She offers me something to eat but I decline. My appetite is scarce right now, although I probably should. There’s a knock at the door and Cory goes to answer. Blaine walks in and he and Cory talk for a minute.

  Cory approaches me and pulls me in for a hug. “I promised no matter what and if this is how I take care of you, then so be it. Everything will be ok and like Megan told you we will keep you posted.”

  “I left my keys on the table over there. I’ll text you whenever we get where we’re going.”

  I break away from Cory to hug Megan again and then Blaine slowly approaches me. “It’s time to go, Sybil.”

  I look back at the two people I’m most thankful and tell them bye. I don’t know where Blaine is taking me but anywhere but here in this city is ok with me.

  ***

  Blaine

  I don’t want to take her too far away, so I plan to drive to Gonzales. It’s about twenty three miles from where we are. I booked a hotel room last night and I’m sure she won’t want to do anything but sit in there. I can’t imagine how she is feeling right now and I really don’t want to know what she would think, if she knew my role in all this. It’s hard to pull her away from her friends but it’s really for the best. She climbs into the truck wearing a sad look on her face. She doesn’t talk to me but stares out the window the entire drive. When we stop at the hotel, she looks around and the looks at me.

  “We’re here?” she asks softly.

  “Yeah, I didn’t want to take you too far away. Is this ok with you?”

  “Yeah. Can we just stay inside? I don’t really want to do anything.”

  “I figured you would want that. That’s not a problem. I’m going to check us in and go to the gas station to get some snacks and maybe something to drink. Do you want anything?”

  She looks back at the hotel then turns to face me. “I want something to take the pain away. Can you do that?”

  I smile the best I can before jumping out the truck. “I can do that for you. Let’s get inside.”

  Checking in takes no time at all and we ride the elevator up to our room. I open the door for her and she walks in slowly placing her bag on one of the empty beds. I got two beds just in case. She lies down and I sit beside her on the soft mattress. She stares at the ceiling and I wish I could read her thoughts. More than anything, I wish I could take this away and that’s what I’m trying to do. Cory has no idea who they are dealing with and all I can do is hope this goes smoothly.

  “Caleb’s dad hired a private investigator to look into this. He thinks there may be another way out.” She tells me. Panic swims through me as I realize it’s just a matter of time before I’m figured out. I can’t let that happen.

  “Let’s not talk about any of that today ok? I know it’s hard not to, but let’s try.”

  She nods her head and I lean down to kiss her forehead.

  “I’m going to run to the gas station real quick. Are you ok or do you want to come with me?”

  “I’ll stay here.” She answers.

  “I’ll be right back.” I promise her. She doesn’t even look at me as I make my way out the door.

  I haven’t heard from Landon or Dante which is scaring the shit out of me so on my way to the store I decide to call Landon.

  “Hello?”

  “I haven’t heard from you so I wanted to check in Landon.”

  “How thoughtful of you. I’m sure you heard about the note Dante had to leave. I hate that it has to come to this but if you had taken care of this in the beginning, it wouldn’t have to be done.”

  “I understand. You have to do what you have to do and I’m sorry.”

  “I’m sorry, too. She’s beautiful and well I just hope she was worth it for you. By the way, you haven’t heard from me because you’ve been removed from this job and Dante has taken over. I didn’t bother to tell you because you’ve fucked up one too many times.”

  I gulp, panic rising in me. “I’ll leave town then if you don’t need me.”

  “You must think I’m stupid Blaine, Dante needs you for backup. This should be simple enough for you, right?”

  “Yes sir.”

  “Good.” End of call.

  I’m feeling better about the decision to get her out of town now that Dante is head of this job. If she’s not there, he can’t do anything and hopefully Cory and Caleb’s dad will have this taken care of tonight.

  I walk into the gas station grabbing a few bags of chips, a few candy bars and a case of beer. I pay the cashier and then head back to the hotel. When I walk into the room, Sybil is now sitting up scrolling through the TV channels. She looks up at me and tries to smile but it barely reaches the ends of her lips.

  “Do you want a beer now or do you want to wait?”

  “Give me one now, I guess.”

  I open one and hand it to her. She presses the bottle to her lips and nearly chugs the entire thing in one sip. When she swallows, she smiles and I get a glimpse at the normal everyday Sybil.

  I open a bag of chips and begin to eat. I offer her one and she accepts it as she settles on reruns of Friends. She laughs a little and that sound is music to my ears. She finishes off the first beer and grabs a second like it’s a bottle of water. I don’t bother to stop her. If this is how she needs to cope, I will let her. If it gets her to loosen up some, then I won’t argue.

  Cory gave me his phone number so I make sure to let him know we are safe in Gonzales. He responds telling me that they are at the bank trying to get the money. I pity them right now, I really do.

  I look over to see Sybil grab her third beer. I shake my head and laugh.

  “What?” she asks smiling.

  “Nothing at all doll face.”

  She inches a little closer to me and grabs a chip out of the bag in my lap. My cock twitches at her being so close but I try to contain myself. To clear my head, I grab a beer and down in it a few seconds.

  Chapter 21

  Sybil

  About five or six beers later, I’m feeling much better than I was this morning. Who’s counting anyway? I actually feel safe for once and I don’t care if I’m hung over in the morning. I don’t plan on stopping for anything. Blaine suffers through episode after episode of Friends and doesn’t complain once. I inch closer to him after I start my next beer. My thoughts are starting to become fuzzy but that’s ok because I’m tired of seeing things for what they really are. I haven’t heard from Cory or Megan so I’m assuming all is well right now. I know Blaine let him know we got here but that’s all I know.

  Blaine is so close to me, I can feel his body heat radiating against me. His smell is intoxicating and I can’t help but lean in closer. He looks at me, his face a few mere inches from mine. “What are you doing Sybil?”

  What am I doing? I don’t know but I like the direction this is going right now. I grab ahold of his arm pull myself onto his lap. I take another sip of my beer before setting it on the nightstand. I let out a giggle as I situate myself. I can feel his cock come to life under me and it sends my body into a frenzy. I lean forward pressing my lips against his in a slow, soft kiss.

  “I’m kissing you, Blaine.”

  He kisses me back, groaning as he picks me up by my waist pulling me closer to him. Our chests are against one another and I can hear his erratic heartbeat. My hands run under his shirt. His shirt needs to come off but I take my time feeling every chiseled muscle underneath. When I’m sure I’ve had my fair feel, I tug upward at the fabric unt
il he helps me remove it. I stare in awe as I continue to run my hands up and down his chest. He growls before flipping me on my back. In one swift movement, he’s on top of me and my shirt is on the floor. My bra is still on but in one snap of his wrist, it joins my shirt. He goes hungrily to my breasts and I moan as he pulls them one by one into his mouth. I close my eyes as pleasure shoots through my body. His mouth lands on mine and he kisses me greedily with more passion than I could imagine.

  My hand reaches down into the waist of his pants and I grab his cock in my hand. He groans as he tugs his pants down to his ankles. I continue to stroke him as he slides his hand down my pants. His thumb circles my clit much like the other time and just like then, he slides two fingers inside.

  “Blaine,” I pant as he increases his speed. My breathing is increasing as he continues to pleasure me. He removes my pants and they land beside his. He kisses my chest and then continues to feather kisses down my body until he reaches his fingers. My breath hitches as he places a kiss on each of my thighs before attacking my clit. I buck trying to contain myself but I’m pretty sure I’ll be coming really soon. He works his fingers and his tongue in a melodic rhythm and my I feel my body begin to convulse.

  “You taste so fucking good.” He says.

  “Oh my god, please. I need to feel you.”

  “You sure? God I want to be inside you. You feel so damn good.” He pants as he comes back up to kiss me. He pulls away long enough to grab a condom out of his wallet. I’m glad he thought about that, because it was slowly slipping my mind.

  “I’m going to fuck you now. Damn, I can’t contain myself anymore.” He growls.

  Within seconds, the condom is on and he thrusts himself into me. I cry out at the sharp pain but as he continues to thrust, the pain turns to pleasure. I match him thrust for thrust. He reaches down to circle my clit as he brings me back to the point of no return. Before I can come, he pulls out and flips me around. Something about this is so raw, but erotic in the same way.

  I’m on all fours on the bed waiting for him to slam into me but he inserts his fingers again. “I want to taste your sweetness again but I’m aching to be back inside you.”

  I moan as he slowly works his fingers inside me and when he’s satisfied, he pulls them out and then slams mercilessly into me. He pounds me relentlessly and it isn’t long before my body convulses again around him. I’m weak and I want to lay on the bed, but with one arm he holds me up as the convulsions slowly end. Gently, he rolls me over and kisses me softly on the lips. I lay my head on his chest and listen as his heart beats.

  “That was amazing Sybil.” He says.

  I’m still trying to regain control of my breathing so I don’t speak right away. If I had to speak, I’m not sure what I would even say. I reach up for my beer and finish it before resting my head back on his chest. His chest is sweaty but I don’t care right now. I smile as I remember him inside me, my body felt so alive in that moment.

  When I feel I can breathe somewhat normally, I sit up and reach for my t-shirt.

  “What are you putting that on for?” Blaine asks wearing a lazy smile.

  “Put that smile away,” I joke. “I’m just putting it on to run to the bathroom.”

  “I’m taking it back off as soon as you get back in this bed.”

  “Oh really, not if I take it off first.” I smile before retreating to the bathroom. Once the door is shut, a ton of emotions hit me and I’m not sure what to make of any of them. So we just shared really hot sex, but that doesn’t mean anything does it? Yes, I’m attracted to him, that’s no secret but I’m not thinking anything more of it. I wash my hands when I’m done and smile in the mirror as I remove my shirt and let it hit the ground. I open the door and watch his jaw drop as he drinks me in. Slowly, I walk back towards the bed and when I reach him, I kiss his lips. Much like he did to me, I feather kisses down his chest and when I reach his cock, I slowly wrap my mouth around it.

  “Fuck,” he groans as he reaches for my face. He gently rubs my face before grabbing my hair. Slowly he helps control the pace as I continue. I swirl my tongue around the tip before taking him again and his moans get louder.

  “I’m about to come Sybil. I want you to taste every bit of me.” He tells me.

  I don’t respond in any way, instead I increase my speed and drink in every inch of him as he explodes in my mouth. When he’s finished, he’s still hard as a rock and it’s inviting me.

  “Do you have another condom?” I ask.

  He points to his wallet and I reach for one. As soon as it’s on, I lower myself onto him, moaning as he fills me. My hips raise slowly adjusting to him and suddenly, he thrusts upward. I don’t get to stay on top for long before he flips me on my back and takes control again. He must like control, but that’s fine with me.

  He collapses on top of me minutes later and we lay together in an even sweatier mess than before. My body is begging for a shower, but I think I may be too sore to move. He wasn’t gentle, not like what I was used to with Caleb. Blaine was raw, purely raw. It was different but I can live with that. His eyes weren’t kind but they weren’t mean. There was something about them though that I can’t place. Lust maybe? Quit overthinking it.

  I let myself fall asleep. When I awake, I notice he’s sleeping, so I quietly get off the bed and finally get to take that shower I’ve been wanting.

  Blaine

  When I wake, I notice Sybil isn’t lying on me anymore. I sit up frantically thinking the worst in the situation but I’m relieved when I hear the water running in the bathroom. I imagined many times how it would feel to be inside her but none of them compared to what it really felt like. I wanted to make love to her but I’m so overwhelmed with guilt that, I couldn’t bring myself to do it, so I fucked her. I fucked her hard and good.

  I hear the shower shut off and in a few minutes, the door opens and she walks out. Her wet hair is pulled back into a ponytail and her nipples are erect through her shirt. Dammit, if she doesn’t watch it, I’ll be fucking her again soon. Maybe that’s what she wants though.

  “Why didn’t you wake me? I was worried when I woke and you weren’t here.”

  “Sorry, I wanted a shower.” She smiles.

  “I don’t know why you took one already, who said I was done with you?”

  “Hmm, well I need a break. You weren’t exactly gentle.” She states as she plops down on the bed. She checks her phone to see if there’s any news and I’m thankful there isn’t.

  “Did I hurt you?” I ask seriously as I rub her thigh.

  She looks at me with those beautiful eyes of hers and just smiles. “Not a bad kind of hurt, so don’t sweat it. Do you think everything is ok back home?” she changes the subject.

  I don’t know how to answer that because I don’t really know so I come up with my own way to handle the situation. “Have we heard anything?”

  “No, that’s what scares me.”

  “Everything is fine, I’m almost certain.” I say kissing her head.

  “You said almost. Don’t say almost.”

  “Ok I’m certain that everything is fine.”

  She groans as she hits me in the chest. “Ow! What’s that for?”

  “I just wanted to.” She smiles.

  I pin her to the bed, she’s giggling uncontrollably trying to get out from under me. I want to freeze this moment and save her from all the pain. She’s quick because she maneuvers her body just enough where she can slide out. I try to catch her by the ankle but my phone goes off multiple times in a row and I stop and stare.

  I look over to see multiple messages from Dante. I groan silently as I reach for the phone, holding it where Sybil can’t see it.

  Dante: There’s a PI snooping around. Know anything about it?

  Me: No, I don’t know anything.

  Dante: Bullshit. I know she’s with you, big mistake and you will regret it.

  He knows about the private investigator and that means time is running o
ut faster. I don’t answer back, instead I turn my phone completely off. I turn back to face Sybil, she watches me but I let nothing show. She plants a kiss on my lips then smiles, “I have to use the bathroom, I’ll be right back.”

  She laughs and disappears shutting the door behind her. I look for her phone and see it on the table. I reach over and power it off too. I’m doing this for her own good, that’s what I keep telling myself. She comes walking back out and I need to distract her for the rest of the night so she doesn’t grab her phone.

  I turn to face her, put my bedroom eyes on and walk right up to her scooping her up in my arms and begin to take her body to places she’s never dreamed of.

  Chapter 22

  Sybil

  I stretch out before raising my head to check the time. I’m ready to get back home and return to a sense of normalcy. I can’t wait to see Megan and Cory. I can’t wait to hug Caleb’s dad for everything he’s done. I can’t wait to get my life back. I look over where Blaine slept and he’s not in the bed. I look towards the bathroom but he’s not in there either. I don’t see my phone and I’m starting to stress. It was here on the table last night, maybe it fell on the floor. I drop to the ground and search but I find nothing. Shit, where the hell is my phone?

  The door opens and Blaine walks in with coffee and donuts. “Hey, good morning. I went down and got some breakfast before we head back home.”

  I take the coffee from him and take a sip. “Hey, I can’t find my phone have you seen it?”

  “I haven’t seen it since last night, we were pretty busy.”

  I blush as I recall last night. Last night is part of the reason I’m moving a little slower than normal. “I can’t leave until I find it. What if Cory tried to contact me?”

  “He would have tried mine and I have nothing. Let’s look and we will find it.”

  We search the room endlessly and I’m getting more agitated by the minute. Finally I find it under the damn pillow of all places. How did it get there?
