CHAPTER 30
Gabe and his father where waiting around in the kitchen when Shane went upstairs with Lynesse. They hoped that Lynesse wouldn’t be the wiser as to what they were trying to do and clam up. Then, out of the blue, they heard Shane’s voice. Looking around, they didn’t see him but…they could hear him. Holten walked over to the counter and noticed that the intercom on the phone was lit up and they could hear everything that was being said upstairs. ‘Smart boy’ thought his father. He motioned to Gabe to come over and they both stood there, listening to what was being said. Shane was one hell of an actor to deal with what he was dealing with and Gabe was proud of him. He played his part perfectly and she was falling for it just like they all knew she would. After what seemed like hours, they finally heard what they were waiting for, both Gabe and Holten looked at each other and smiled. They had her! They heard the door open upstairs and Gabe headed outside to call in Penny and Marcus who had been sitting in the bushes since Lynesse arrived and walked back in. They both just sat down at the table when they heard Shane’s voice down the hall “Wait until you see the backyard, it’s beautiful” and they both walked into the kitchen. Shane made his way towards the back door and kept his hand on the handle with his back to the door. Lynesse walked in and saw Gabe and Holten sitting at the table “Hello Holten. I heard you were here so I decided to find out what was keeping you” she gave Holten her best smile as she leaned down and kissed him on the cheek. She turned her attention to Gabe “Hello Gabe” and smiled at him as well. “Lynesse” was all he said. He didn’t really have much else to say to her, especially after what she had done. Lynesse looked around the table at the grim faces “Who died?” she asked while pulling a chair out and sat next to Holten. Holten looked at his wife, he knew she was selfish but he never knew she would lower herself to such an extent as kidnapping. “Did you really come here to see me?” he asked her “or did you come here to get Shane into bed?” he already knew the answer and the look on her face pretty much said it all. “What are you talking about? When you didn’t come home last night, I began to worry. He is my son as well, dear, if only by marriage and I wanted to know what kept you away for an evening” Lynesse tried to look as innocent as possible. She got up from the table and made her way towards the hall “I am not going to stay here and be accused of something petty and underhanded as that. I’m your wife! How could you think of such a despicable thing?!” she exclaimed. She hoped she sounded convincing as she gave one last look to the three men in the kitchen before turning around. “Uhm, Lynesse?” Shane called out “Don’t leave just yet. I have something for you”. “What could you possibly have for me that I don’t already own?” she asked whirling around to face him. Shane gave a beautiful smile and opened the door. If Lynesse was the fainting type, she would’ve been on the floor at that precise moment.
CHAPTER 31
Marcus walked in first with a huge grin on his face with Penny following from behind. Lynesse stood there, not believing what her eyes were seeing. “Close your mouth, Lynesse. You’re attracting flies” Holten said as he got up to get a drink. Lynesse snapped her jaw shut and just stared at Marcus and Penny, how could this be possible? Shane walked up behind Penny and put his arms around her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and frowned at Lynesse, ‘let’s see how she wiggles her way out of this’. Lynesse composed herself, this was not good, not good at all. She needed to think fast. “I didn’t know you had company aside from Gabe and Holten?” she said smiling. She walked up to Marcus, pretending she didn’t know him and extended her hand “You will have to excuse Shane’s manners for not intro…” that was a far as she got before Shane cut in with a voice that was dripping with contempt “Cut the bullshit, Lynesse. We know all about it”. “Know about what?” Lynesse could feel the panic rising within her and she did the only thing she could do, smile. Shane walked up to her with a vicious look about him, he so wanted to hurt her but he knew he couldn’t. She wasn’t worth going to jail for. “Did you honestly think I was happy to see you?” he said with venom in his voice “Did your ego actually believe that I wanted to be with you that bad that I would go behind my father’s back? He did me a favor by marrying you”. Shane walked up to Penny and cupped his hands on her cheeks and looked into her eyes. “By doing that, I never would have met the one I truly do love” Penny could feel tears welling up inside her eyes and she took his hands and kissed the inside of both palms. He turned around and looked, once again, at Lynesse. Penny was feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, he loved her and that was better than all the chocolate in the world. Holten looked at his wife and he couldn’t feel sorry for her or even pity. “You went too far this time, Lynesse” he said to her and Lynesse fixed her eyes on him. She was like a fox in a trap with nowhere to go. She looked up at Marcus who was just standing there, smiling. Oh! She wanted to slap that smile off his face! “So much for loyalty” she hissed out “I was a fool to think you could do something so easy”. Marcus leaned against the counter and folded his arms across his chest “You were the fool to think you could get away with it”. Gabe stood up and went to stand next to Lynesse. “You can’t prove I had a hand in anything” she stated “It will be my word against a known criminal. And she” Lynesse looked at Penny with hatred in her eyes “can’t prove I had a hand in her abduction. Besides, I am very familiar with the Chief of Police. The man adores me, he’ll believe me before he’ll believe him” she nodded towards Marcus “or that tramp”. Lynesse stuck her chin up and looked down her nose upon them. “Maybe so” Holten said, walking towards his wife “but he will believe me” and Lynesse shrank back as if she had been hit. Holten grabbed his wife in a not so pleasant way and began to pull her down the hall. “The time has come, my dear, that you begin to make amends for all the shit you pulled, and we are going to start with a visit to my lawyer’s”. Lynesse didn’t like the sound of that “What are you going to do?” was all they heard her say before the front door closed. Everyone in the kitchen let out a sigh of relief and Shane turned and took Penny into his arms. He didn’t want to ever let her go and he was going to show that starting right this minute. “I was so scared I’d never see you again” he whispered in her ear and nuzzled the side of her neck. “Don’t ever leave me, ever” and he bent down and kissed her deeply. Penny stood on tiptoes to return his kiss and, with tears falling down her cheeks, she kissed him like never before. Gabe and Marcus, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, shuffled their feet and looked at each other. “Ahem” Shane turned at the fake cough and smiled broadly at his brother. With Penny at his side, he walked up to Gabe and put his arms around his brother, “Thank you” was all he could say. “That’s what big brothers are for” he responded and returned the hold his little brother had on him. Marcus, feeling somewhat out of place, pushed off the counter he was leaning on and smiled. “Well, I’ve done my good deed for the year. It’s time for me to take off” and started to head for the door when Penny stopped him. “What will you do now?” she asked him. Marcus was going to miss this one “I don’t know. With what little money I have left, maybe start my own business. Do something legit for once”. “I wish you all the best” and she went on tiptoes to hug the man who was once her captor but now her friend. Marcus was taken aback by Penny’s abruptness and he looked over at Shane for approval. Shane smiled and nodded his head, he knew Marcus could take him down just by the size of him but he wasn’t going to stop Penny from doing she felt she needed to do. After a few moments, Shane walked up to the both of them and put his hand around Penny’s waist, she got the hint and gave her widest smile to Shane. “I want to thank you for doing what you did” he said to Marcus “I want you to know that the police will never know the part you played beforehand”. Marcus grinned and began to make his way to the front door before Gabe stopped him “Hold up” he said “I’ll walk you out. I want to talk to you anyway about going legit. I could really use you for my new business. How do you feel about traveling?” he asked as Gabe and Marcus walked out the door. Shane
turned to hold Penny once again in his arms. “I thought I’d never see you again” she whispered to him. Her feelings were in turmoil and she had so much to say to him but didn’t know where to begin. Shane put his finger under her chin and raised her head so that he could look into her beautiful blue eyes, those eyes he believed not so long ago, he would never see again. “Did you mean what you said earlier? When you said you loved me?” she asked him, feeling a little unsure. Shane kissed her lips softly and gently, then trailed his lips to her ear and said “I meant it from the bottom of my heart. I love you Penelope Dawson. I love you with every fiber of my being” and he stared into her eyes “I love you”. Penny felt the tears stream down her face as she placed her hand on his cheek “I love you, Shane Somers. I don’t ever want to be without you ever again for even a split second” Shane picked her up and carried towards the staircase, before climbing the stairs he looked at the woman who had stolen his heart “Would it be improper to go upstairs?” he asked her, realizing he was holding his breath for her answer. Penny looked up the stairs and back at Shane “I would be sorely disappointed if we didn’t” and gave him her widest smile she could muster. With a ‘whoop’, he ran up the stairs and into the bedroom, surprised at his own strength that Penny had never touched the floor.
Shane placed Penny on the floor and lifted his hands to unbutton her blouse. His breathing was erratic as he got the first button. Penny placed her hands on his “Oh no” she said as she gave him her most sultry look “We are going to do this slowly” and she stepped away from him. Shane’s mouth was slightly gaping open to what she said. He didn’t want to go slow, he wanted her now and took a step towards her. Penny held up her hand to stop him “I said no. Take off your shirt” and she stood waiting for him to comply. Shane stopped in his tracks and glared at her. He didn’t want to play games but, seeing the determination in her eyes, he did as he was told. Penny walked over to his closet and pulled out a tie. She was going to enjoy this moment with him if it killed him. Smiling, she walked back to Shane and stood behind him. On her tiptoes, she placed the tie over his eyes like a blindfold all the while licking the back of his neck. Shane let out a groan and tried to put his arms behind him to hold her close but she evaded his grasp. “No touching” she said as she lightly glided her fingers across his shoulders. Walking over to the stereo, she put on a collection of music that you would normally hear at a strip bar and returned to where Shane was waiting for her. Removing her clothes, she watched him and smiled to herself. Shane was fidgeting and she knew he was wondering what was going to happen. Penny slowly walked over to him and placed a kiss on his chest while her fingers were gently gliding down his arms. She heard him take a sharp breath and, once again, he tried to put his arms around her. “Am I going to have to tie them back?” she asked him as she continued kissing his chest while slowly raking her nails up and down his arms. Shane replied with a raspy no and tried to concentrate on her ministrations. Kissing his chest was quite enjoying and she wondered what reaction she would receive if she went lower. Trailing her fingers towards his shoulders and over his clavicles, Penny made her way lower towards his naval while her fingers trailed after her. Shane let out a groan, not being able to see what she is doing was the biggest turn on he had ever encountered and his mind kept going to places he hoped she would as well. “Do you know I’ve wanted to do this to you for a very long time” and she slide her tongue over to his side all the while trailing her fingers over his body. Shane’s breathing was becoming ragged as his senses took over and his body was screaming for more, he never knew not seeing was so hot. Penny pressed her breasts against his back and she felt him shiver and draw in breath, she took hold of one of his hands and put it between her legs “See how wet you make me?” She took his finger and slid it inside her and she let out a small moan. Shane could feel her clenched muscles and wetness around his finger and his cock hardened in response. He began to move it inside her but Penny pulled him away. “Oh no. Not yet. I’m not done exploring you” she said huskily and placed his hand back at his side. Penny wrapped her arm around his waist and began to unbutton his pants while she slid her breasts on his back, her nipples hard and erect. The feeling was so erotic, she couldn’t help but moan the pleasure she was feeling. Shane was breathing harder and he felt like he was ready to pass out, he needed to be inside her, between her legs, feeling her wetness over his cock. Getting his pants undone, Penny went on tiptoe and whispered into his ear “Pull them down” and licked his earlobe. Shane shivered while he placed his hands on his pants and bent to take them off. He groaned when he felt her hands on his balls, massaging them. ‘God! This is absolutely amazing!’ as he stayed in that position, relishing her hand feeling him. “Stand up” she said while trailing her fingers up his cheeks and towards his front. As he stood, he became more excited to find out what else she had in mind and it didn’t take long before he found out. Penny bent on her knees and wrapped her fingers around his hard shaft feeling the smoothness. She heard Shane inhale sharply and she smiled, this was so much fun. She lightly kissed him on the top of his shaft and slid her tongue down his length. Shane had let out a grown that could’ve shattered the glass. “Oh baby” he said as he raised his hand to place it on her head. She grabbed his hand “No touching” she said and pulled his hand away. Shane was going insane, he needed to touch her! He gasped as he felt her put him in her mouth “Oh Christ” he hissed and tilted his head back, feeling the warmth of her hot mouth all over him. His pelvis began to move as she slid her mouth over him, in and out, twirling her tongue around him, sheathing her teeth as she took him all in and let her lips glide over as she pulled him out. Penny let out a moan and began to feel herself, wet and slick. Shane could feel what she was doing, her shoulder moving in a way that was familiar to him and he was ready to lose his mind. Penny slowly stood, still grasping his hardness in her hand, slowly stroking him and she reached for his hand. Walking backwards, watching the man she loved with a look of adoration, she pushed him onto the bed. Shane didn’t know what to do, he was so lost in his feeling and senses, that he felt every pore was ready to burst. He was so hard and aching, he needed to be inside her soon or he felt he was going to combust. Feeling her on the bed with him, he reached out to touch her but, again, she evaded his grasp. “Not yet” she said as she straddled him. He felt her wetness on his chest and he groaned. How much more of this can he take? Shane felt her slide up towards him and leaving her wet trail up his chest. He still couldn’t see her and in his mind’s eye, he envisioned her body. Her breasts full and her nipples erect and hard, waiting for his touch, her clit swollen with wanting and he let out a ragged breath. Penny slid higher up his chest “Are you ready?” she asked him and before he knew what happened, he was tasting her. Fireworks had gone off in his head and he lapped and ravaged as if he hadn’t had food or water for days. He wanted to hold her to him, feel her body in his hands but he kept them at his side, waiting for her instructions. Penny moved her hips at the same momentum as his tongue, feeling the hot flesh burn her as she felt the tightness in her core pushing to be released. Letting out a moan, she slid down his body to where his hardness was waiting for her and she positioned herself on top. Slowly she slid down his length and they both shivered with the feel and warmth of each other’s bodies. “Take off the tie and touch me” she said breathlessly and she didn’t have to tell him twice. Shane pulled the tie off his head and grabbed her by the hips and began to move her. He had never felt so hard and so turned on that he knew it wouldn’t be long before he lost all control. Penny grinded her hips and rode him until the pressure was no longer bearable. Once Shane had reached up and grabbed her breasts, she knew it wouldn’t be long for her. He pinched her nipples, feeling the hardness between his fingers and Penny tightened around him until finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. With his names on her lips, she let herself flow over him and she felt him pulse inside of her. Breathless, she lay on top of him panting and hot and spent. Shane lied still as he kissed he
r hair and rubbed her back. He had never felt anything like that before and he knew he wouldn’t with any other woman. “Wow” was all he could say because he knew there were no other words to possibly explain what just happened. Penny lifted her head and looked into his eyes and saw the love he had for her and a tear escaped her eyes. She had never been as happy as she is now and it was all because of this man. “I love you” she said to him and nuzzled her head under his chin. “I love you” he replied back, enjoying the feeling this woman gave him ‘More than life itself’ and, with Penny in his arms, he closed his eyes and began dreaming of his future with her.
