Addicted to Pearls (Revised) (Pearls Series)

by Dani Marie

  Owen was almost giddy with excitement now. He knew when he’d seen the newcomer that the man was trouble and now he was going to get to prove it. He’d bust the guy and if he had to bust Tori, who everyone thought was so good, even better. Somehow Tori had become the bad guy now that she was with another man.

  By the time young Owen had finished, he’d told the other officers how Vic had been hooked on the ‘pearls’ from the first taste. It was such as shock to the group that Tori was the one heading the operation. But then again, how better to cover your tracks than the cover she’d been maintaining, but she’d stepped wrong the last few weeks and they were going to catch her and her drug running boyfriend.

  As Tori and Vic said their goodbyes and headed back into town, the chief was already working on a search warrant and putting together a team to take the first step in taking this pair down.

  Officers reported that the couple went to the local motel where Vic had registered and had taken a room, suspiciously asking for a room at the farthest corner on the ground floor.

  They were definitely acting like criminals as far as the Chief was concerned and got more frustrated with Tori as the day progressed. How could they have all missed seeing this type of activity from her?

  Chapter 14

  Vic and Tori had gone back to town and stopped off at the Claytonville Inn so Vic could check in. He didn’t want to cause Tori any hassles with more gossip than needed by blatantly staying at her place. Once the couple got the key card and got into the room Vic spent a few minutes unpacking although most of his equipment would be coming up Monday morning when his assistant brought the trailer with the training gear. But Vic never traveled without some of his gear, a couple of handguns and a knife or two.

  Being in a hotel room alone with Tori was not a good idea if he was planning on waiting to make love to her. It had been too long and just watching her was making him want her again. Once he started, he wasn’t going to stop for several hours, and he knew it. He figured Tori knew it too by the way she was looking at him and her gaze kept slipping lower, seeing the evidence of what he was thinking. Tori on the other hand didn’t want to wait and thought that right now was a great idea. She kept her eyes on Vic as she took hold of the hem of her shirt and slowly slid it up and over her head, dropping it to the floor. That’s when he saw the strand of pearls she was wearing. Tori had slipped them on just before she turned around. She had slipped them into her purse before they had headed out to the picnic. Tori unclipped her bra and peeled it away from her breasts, letting her fingers brush against her nipples. They were so sensitive, and she quivered with anticipation as she saw the hunger in his eyes as he watched her undress.

  Vic’s eyes unwaveringly watched her every move. Tori unsnapped her jeans and slowly slid the zipper down. She moved her hands up to press the jeans and panties down together so she could step out of them. Leaving her standing naked except for the strand of pearls she had on. Her hands began moving over her breasts again, softly then with her nails. Using her fingers to roll her nipples as she continued watching Vic. Tori found that there was something so very erotic about being naked in front of a fully dressed man who looked at you the way Vic was looking at her.

  There was pure lust in his eyes, he was doing his best to control it, but Tori could see it, and reveled in it, wanting nothing more than to push it higher. She wanted to make him lose control. She’d missed him terribly. She had thought he didn’t want her. Now that she had him close and knew he hadn’t been able to find her, and she could see how much he wanted her, she was going to enjoy every second of it and make sure he enjoyed it too.

  “One of us is over dressed,” Tori said as she sat on the end of the bed. She leaned back on one arm, slowly spread her legs apart and slid a hand down over her stomach to where she most wanted Vic’s touch. Vic watched as two fingers opened her to his gaze. He couldn’t move he could only watch. When she slid one slender finger fully into her waiting heat he groaned, knowing this had to be the sexiest thing he’d ever seen. When another finger joined the first and the glistening evidence of how wet she was, Vic’s control burst and he began shedding his clothes. Buttons popped and he was moving toward the bed before his jeans were fully off. When he was standing, hard and ready in front of Tori, he leaned down taking her face in his hands and kissed her hard. He showed her, with his tongue thrusting into her mouth, just what he had planned next for her.

  Vic slowly slid one hand down her neck, over her shoulder, to her chest. Rolling a few of the pearls over one of Tori’s nipples causing her to tremble. When his hand moved lower, Tori started to pull her fingers from where she had been stroking herself. But he stopped her and let his hand cover hers. Adding one of his longer, thicker fingers joined the two of hers in her depths. Vic stroked her lips with his tongue and his fingers kept moving with hers until Tori couldn’t catch her breath. The pleasure was so intense, but she wanted more. Vic shifted positions and began kissing his way slowly lower. Tori thought she might die from the overwhelming sensations. She became ultra sensitive and the tingling pleasure grew until she knew she was on the edge of exploding. But when Vic removed his and Tori’s fingers and knelt down and leaned in, Tori moaned Vic’s name. Vic whispered hot sexy comments with his lips just almost touching her, she shivered threw her head back and surrendered to the pleasure. Vic used his fingers to open Tori up to his tongue and proceeded to devour her.

  Damn this woman turned him on, she was so wet and he knew just how tight she would be. He teased the waiting bud with the tip of his tongue and watched her body respond with even more fluids, he loved how wet she got. When he put his lips over that bud and softly sucked Tori screamed and came again. Her body arched pressing even closer and he slid his tongue into her deeply keeping the orgasm rolling through her body. Vic’s control was fading fast as she quivered under his touch. He couldn’t believe how responsive, how her orgasms kept coming. He stood up and began to slide into her waiting heat, Vic moved farther onto the bed. But Tori had other plans and push him onto his back straddling him. They ended up lying diagonally across the bed with Tori facing the hotel room door. She leaned down over him to kiss him and felt the pearls slide over his chest. His quiver made her smile and she straightened back up and slowly slide the pearls from around her neck. She dangled them over his body letting them tease him. Before moving lower and letting just the end slither around his hard shaft. Each touch had him twitching just a little at this unusual caress which had him gripping the covers in his hands to keep from dragging her over and taking her hard.

  When Tori began actually wrapping the pearl along his shaft he couldn’t control the groan of need. Once the pearls were wrapped fully around him, Tori moved and while holding just one end of the strand she slowly lowered herself onto his engulfed shaft. There wasn’t anything Vic could do except hold on and enjoy the ride. Tori was in complete control, ever so slowly sliding up and down. It registered in Vic’s mind that only because she got so slick could she do this. He’d never been with a woman that was this responsive before and he loved it. Just when Vic thought he was gaining a bit of control, Tori began sliding the pearls off him little by little with each stoke. She pulled them through her wet slit and let them tease her further as they slid over her sensitive tissue. They were both lost in the pleasure, nothing but what they were feeling registering. That’s when the hotel door came crashing open.

  Tori saw the men that came busting in first since she was facing the door. Three police officers had just burst through the door with their guns drawn. Chief Darius was first, with Owen and Jeff coming in behind him.

  “Freeze! Police! Search warrant!” the Chief barked as the couple froze. The three officers seemed to be as surprised as Vic and Tori. They were completely shocked to find the couple like this. Seeing Tori with Vic obviously deep inside her, her back arched and breasts heaving, her nipples hard and rosy. None of the officers noticed that Tori’s hand was still near where the couple were joined or that she held
the end of the strand of pearls. That was just too much more to register. The group just stared at each other no one moving for a moment when Tori noticed a very young man staring through the open doorway at her. She was mortified, “Oh my God, we are putting on quite a show, can you at least close the door?” Tori said to the Chief. He turned and saw the young man, with an oath kicked the door shut and glared at the pair.

  Vic tried to sit up and ask what was going on when the Chief barked at him to “shut the hell up and remain still“. Vic’s slight movement under Tori was the wrong thing to have happen, she was just too close to coming and those little movements finished the job. With a strangled groan Tori’s body clinched, she arched back pulled a little at the pearls and felt the pleasure rush through her. Even having an audience couldn‘t stop the electric pleasure. Vic could feel her inner muscles milking him and he thrust up hard once and came as well with another wrenching growl. It was erotic and unavoidable. The officers were in astounded. Owen had lost all sense of where he was, he was stroking himself through his pants, his face a mask of lust, gun hanging limply at his side. Jeff had come in his pants just from seeing them and was chanting, “Oh my God“. The Chief was hard and got even harder when he realized that Tori was now staring at the bulge in his uniform. The situation had gotten completely out of control.

  The Chief elbowed both other officers and barked at Tori and Vic. “I want those pearls, we will find them and you two are going down for bringing them into my town,” he told the couple. Vic and Tori looked at each other not sure what the Chief was talking about. “You want the pearls?” Tori asked shaking her head. “Now“, the Chief almost yelled at them. Tori started to lift up off Vic to pull the rest of the pearls from her body but the Chief lifted his gun higher and told her to freeze again. “You just tell me where they are and I’ll get them,” he said.

  “The hell you will,” Vic snarled. No other man was touching his woman especially as intimately a touch as it would be to retrieve those pearls.

  “Not going to happen, Chief” Tori told him and this time lifted very slowly pulling the strand from around Vic’s now somewhat softened shaft. She had to move a little to allow them to slide from her. The officers were mesmerized watching the process as none of them had previously noticed the strand of pearls in her fingers. When the last pearl was free, Tori whimpered a little as it slid over her sensitive flesh and out. “Here they are Chief, but I really don’t understand,” Tori told him, holding the strand away from her body, the evidence of the couple’s pleasure glistening on each pearl.

  Just as the Chief started forward to take the strand, Vic growled again. “Get a fucking evidence bag and don’t you dare touch those pearls. They are mine and no man but me has that right.”

  Owen, who was used to taking order rushed to do Vic’s bidding even before he realized it wasn’t his boss giving the orders. Once Tori had slid the pearls into the bag, the chief took the bag and lifting it to his nose, groaned when he smelled the essence of the couple. He couldn’t have told if there was any other smell but the evidence of their passion. “I can’t tell what kind of drugs these are, we’ll have to have them tested,” he said.

  Drugs? What was he talking about? Vic and Tori were both confused. “What drugs?” Vic finally asked. “The pearls that your addicted to, packing a gun to protect and brought into my town to distribute,” the Chief snarled at him. Tori actually snickered, Vic opened his mouth but nothing came out. They had to be kidding, he thought. Vic felt the vibrations of Tori’s rising mirth and gave her his sternest look. “Don’t you dare laugh,” he told her. It was hard, but she settled for a very smirky grin that would have clued most men into the fact that they had screwed up big time. But these three officers were not done, and there was just too much nakedness in front of them to think more reasonably.

  We’re taking you two in, the Chief told them and ordered Tori to stand up. “You don’t move a muscle,” he told Vic. Tori rose over Vic, hearing the sound of his softening shaft slipping from her. She stood near the bed and with a measure of confidence that came from knowing the officers were wrong told the Chief that he was just going to have to wait a moment for her to clean up and get dressed.

  “You are NOT hauling me down to the station naked for no reason.” She told him and when he protested she scathingly told him to back off mentioning that it would be a bit hard to hide a gun on her person. She wet down a rag, cleaned up as best as she could and got dressed quickly and efficiently with the officers watching. Vic noticed that all three officers were paying way more attention to Tori dressing than the naked man on the bed. If he had been a drug dealer, he probably would have pulled his piece and shot one or two of them by now. Maybe he should have, he thought with his rising anger, but knew he wouldn’t risk that one of these hot shots wouldn‘t panic and pull their trigger. Once Tori was dressed, she rinsed the rag, wringing it out again and slowly walked to Vic. She cleaned him up as they all watched. Then she turned to the Chief again. “He will also be dressed, I don’t share well and you’re not going to parade him around naked for just any passing female to see,” she told him with her hands on her hips. That made Vic chuckle, he liked this in charge woman that was so out of character for Tori.

  “Owen, get his pants, make sure there’s nothing in them and hand them to him. “You’ll get dressed slow and careful, wouldn’t want anyone to get shot for making any moves they shouldn’t,” the Chief told Vic. Once Vic was dressed the three officers seemed to have a better handle on the situation and soon the couple were handcuffed and sat watching as the officers began searching the room. Jeff found the case with the few guns and knives Vic had brought with him and showed the Chief. “This is going to send you to prison for a long time,” the Chief told Vic. Tori was still smiling and Vic was looking more and more irritated. Finally the couple was led through the lobby, and the crowd that had gathered there, and put into the back of the squad car. Vic was still muttering.

  Chapter 15

  As they all made their way into the police station, Vic had started to calm down. At least Tori thought he had as he didn’t look quite as angry as he had at the hotel. But the couple didn’t speak as they were read their rights and taken to separate rooms for questioning. The Chief was so upset at Tori that he decided he would talk to Vic first. He walked into the room where the large man was cuffed to the table and his legs shackled to the bolted down chair. He turned on the recorder to begin his interrogation.

  “What is your name for the record?" he asked. Vic looked up at this older man, smiled and gave him his full name. The Chief frowned at the sound of it, thinking maybe the man was wanted since his name sounded familiar. “How long have you been dealing drugs for your boss?” the Chief asked. “Oh, I’ve handled the drug side of things for a few years now. I think you should call my boss and see just how happy he’s been with my work,” Vic added, with a viscous grin at the older man.

  “And I suppose you’re going to just give me your boss’s name and number, huh? Chief Darius asked.

  “Yep,” Vic answered and proceeded to rattle off his chief’s name and the number for his police department. With a frown and a growing sense of things not being quite right, the Chief used his cell phone and dialed the number.

  “Police department,” the operator greeted the caller. With a full-on sense of dread, the Chief gave the operator the name Vic had given him. When Vic’s chief was on the line, Chief Darius asked about Vic and groaned as the Captain’s description of Vic’s excellent police work and job duties were given. With a thank you and a frown, Chief Darius hung up and looked at the now smug Vic.

  “Things a little clearer now, Chief?” Vic asked.

  “Damn it, why didn’t you say something,” he asked Vic.

  “Just when did you give me a chance to say anything?” Vic countered.

  Knowing this was a disaster and that things were going to go from bad to worse, the chief stood and un-cuffed Vic then sat again and asked a few questions to fin
d out how this mess had gotten started.

  When Vic and the Chief walked out the door half an hour later, the two junior officers were shocked to see Vic without cuffs and looking less angry than he had been. But, Vic knew he was going to work these boys over good on Monday when his training started so that this type of thing didn’t happen again.

  “Let Tori out“, the chief told Owen. It was a testament to the Chief’s authority that his demand was answered without question. When Tori came out of the interrogation room and saw Vic she automatically walked to him and he engulfed her in his arms.

  “Ready to go?” Vic asked her with a smile. “Definitely, but first I want my pearls back,” she said looking at the Chief. She almost chucked as he turned beet red and went to get the evidence bag for her. Without comment he handed the bag over and the couple left with Owen driving them back to the hotel. The snarl Vic gave Owen when he started to question the couple was enough to keep the younger man from talking any more on the way to the hotel.

  There were several disapproving looks given to the couple as they arranged to move to a new room. Tori knew this was going to be town gossip for some time and realized that she would have to tell her Mother and sister soon, before they heard elsewhere, if they hadn‘t already. Her life had just changed in ways she would not fully realize for some time to come.

  Chapter 16

  Tori left the hotel soon after they had arrived back, going home to call her Mother and sister. “You have totally disgraced us and ruined our family,” her Mother yelled and then refused to talk to her any further. It didn’t go much better with Lisa, as she just cried and asked how Tori could do such a thing as have relations with a man she wasn’t married to especially in a hotel. Tori’s mood was somber and she felt so alone after the conversations. She realized though that she had made her own decisions and that life would continue. She had her work and had found Vic again, she dreamed of marriage and children with the man that she knew beyond a doubt she had somehow fallen in love with. Tori was upset with her family but still believed that the last few weeks were the best in her life. She had lived, loved and now that she and Vic were together again she had great belief in her future.
