“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.”
CHAPTER 18
Liam
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 already 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 thin
king. 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.”
CHAPTER 19
Lexi
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 you 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. I know I shouldn’t complain because they have everyone’s safety in mind but there’s got to be a more efficient way to do things. I could have done without the overweight butch woman feeling around on my tits and ass for five minutes. She could have at least taken me to dinner first.
Our guys were right there with us, though, only leaving when we got to the front of the security line. After that, it was just me and my sister hanging out and waiting for the plane. Of course, that meant sitting in the airport bar and having a few drinks before it was time to go.
It had been quite a while since the two of us had spent any time alone together and it was nice. Plus, the drinks would make it much easier to sleep one the flight was in the air. As scared as I am of enclosed places, I’m more afraid of heights and especially afraid of air travel. Getting a little tipsy before boarding would help make the trip more bearable.
The flight was perfect. We hit no turbulence as far as I could tell. Of course, I slept for the majority of the trip so that was a plus. That didn’t stop me from still feeling tired when we landed. Jet lag is a very real thing and it’s a bitch.
Sarabelle and I decided to go to the hotel, especially since we weren’t going to meet with the dress designer until late that afternoon. We both fell right to sleep and only woke up when the telephone rang. It was Christian calling to find out why we hadn’t made it to our appointment. We’d slept right through it.
We both scrambled to get ready and were fortunate that the designer was a real sweetheart of a man. He was very patient and helped Sarabelle pick out the wedding dress of her dreams. It was truly gorgeous.
The dress she selected was white with a corded lace and Chantilly lace bodice. It had a full-length tulle-tiered A-line skirt and a sweetheart neckline. The dress made her look like a fairytale princess. Just looking at her made me want to cry, especially when I thought about how proud our mother would have been to see her in it. He took care of all the measurements and set the plan
in motion to tailor it just for her.
After the fitting, I realized that we hadn’t eaten in hours and were starving.
“What do you feel like eating?” I asked my sister.
“I don’t know. French food?” she sarcastically replied.
Walking out of the shop, my jaw nearly hit the ground when I looked across the street only to see Liam and Christian standing there smiling at us. I ran over to give my man a hug while Sarabelle did the same.
I looked over at my sister and gave her a look that asked if she knew anything about them coming. I could tell by the look on her face that she was as surprised to see our guys as I was.
“What are you doing here?” I asked Liam.
“I decided that I didn’t want to be without my girl for the whole weekend so I called Christian to see if he was up for a road trip?”
