Remember Me

by Jo-Anna Walker

  Chapter 27

  Oh God. Oh no. Please.

  Tears welled in Keisha’s eyes as the large man covered her body. She struggled, twisted, moved under his rough hold but she couldn’t budge. This was it. He was going to rape her. Memories of almost a year ago invaded her mind. Jose Alvarez.

  She knew Jason was a prick, but she didn’t know how much. Add alcohol and he became a downright asshole.

  “Please, Jason. Stop. You don’t want to do this,” she begged.

  “Oh yes I do. I know you want me,” he slurred. “You fucking embarrassed me like the slut you are. Why did you fucking go back to him?”

  “You deserve someone that loves you,” she cried. “Please, let me go.”

  “No. You’re mine, whore.”

  “No. Please.” A sob escaped her lips as she continued to try and fight him off of her but being in the back seat of her small car left little room to do anything. “Let me go. I won’t tell anyone.”

  A zipper lowering sent an ice-cold shiver of fear running down her spine. Her eyes widened and her struggle to get away from him strengthened.

  Rough hands lifted her dress to her waist. “No panties just like the slut that you are.”

  She swallowed hard, gasping for air as his fingers pressed into the flesh of her ass. Tears burned her eyes at his painful grip. “Stop. Please.”

  “You’re going to like this, whore. It’ll teach you to leave me for another man,” he growled.

  Just when she thought he was going to continue and take from her what she wouldn’t give him willingly, his weight was lifted off of her. She frowned as a cool draft caressed her skin and looked behind her. Her eyes widened.

  Garrith had Jason pinned against the car, punching the shit out of him. The cold, evil look in his eyes set her heart racing when they landed on her. He paused mid-punch and threw Jason to the ground before he reached into the car for her. She grabbed his hand and let him pull her out of the vehicle, holding onto him for dear life.

  “Shhh…you’re fine, love. You’re fine. I’m here.”

  She clung onto him as he lifted her into his arms and carried her to Dr. Santos’ office. She didn’t check to see if Jason rose to his feet. A part of her didn’t really care. She was safe. In her love’s arms and she knew that he wouldn’t let go. Ever.

  ***

  Two months after the attack from Jason Alexander, Keisha finally stopped having nightmares. The guy was thrown in jail.

  Since getting his job back at the FBI, Garrith got reacquainted with some old cop buddies who made sure that the paperwork accidentally got misplaced. Jason spent a week rotting in jail before anything was done, giving the police time to slap a restraining order against the fucker.

  If Garrith hadn’t looked at Keisha lying in the back seat of the car, fear clear in her eyes, he would have kept going. He would have killed Jason. She made him stop. She protected him from the onslaught of anger that tried to take control. Walking in on Jason attacking her was something he would never forget. Now he knew how Sebastian felt after he walked in on Jose attacking Tori.

  No one should have to go through that but, thank God, it was over. Everything was over. Their relationship was growing strong, the attack not setting them back like it had with Jose. Keisha had started becoming herself again. She was the strongest person Garrith knew and it was awe-inspiring.

  “My love?”

  He grinned and placed a hard kiss on her mouth as she stared up at him. Aftercare meant more to him now than ever before. He had to ease her back into things since the attack but things were starting to look up. “How are you doing?”

  She moved from his arms and straddled his lap. “I could be better.”

  He raised an eyebrow and ran his hands down her naked back. “Oh? How so?”

  She smirked and started unbuckling his belt. “I need you. Inside me. Again.”

  He grabbed her hands, stopping her. “Not yet.”

  “Please,” she pouted.

  He bit back a chuckle and brought her mouth down to his. “Not. Yet.”

  Keisha cupped him over his pants and squeezed. “Not yet? Are you sure about that?”

  Holy shit. She wanted to be a brat? He would show her how brats got punished. In a smooth move, he had her bent over his lap. “Being a brat, are we, pet?”

  She licked her lips. “Never. Master.”

  Garrith smoothed a hand down her back. “I think you are. I’m going to show you how I treat brats.”

  ***

  “Why are you bent over my knees, love?”

  Keisha bit back a moan as Garrith caressed her naked ass. “Because I was being a brat.”

  “And why were you being a brat?”

  “Because I am a brat.”

  A swat landed on her ass, making her squeak. Her pussy clenched with desire. “Why were you being a brat, kitten?” Garrith’s voice lowered, resonating with power. A power that she craved since remembering him.

  Keisha smiled. “Because I enjoy being spanked by you, Master.”

  “And?”

  “Feeling your hands on my ass turns me on.” Keisha wiggled her hips, earning another slap. Her core throbbed, liquid heat coating her center.

  Garrith ran a finger through her folds, teasing before thrusting into her. “I can tell it turns you on, kitten, but what are the other reasons that you were being a brat for?”

  Keisha pushed back against his finger as it continued pumping into her painfully slowly. “Because I like making you work for it.”

  Garrith removed his finger from her and ran it over her hardened clit. She bucked and arched under his touch as electricity shot through her body.

  “And?” He tightened his hands around her wrists, holding her in place as he tortured her body with pleasurable bliss.

  “Because…I…” She licked her lips, her body shaking, needing release. “…enjoy being controlled by you. I defied you to get your hands on me.”

  “You don’t have to defy me to get me to touch you, Keisha.” He removed his hand from her center altogether and caressed her ass.

  Keisha kissed the hand that gripped her wrists. “I know that.”

  “But?”

  “I love you.”

  Garrith chuckled. “Trying to soften me up, kitten?”

  Keisha’s cheeks heated. “No, I would never do such a thing.”

  He lifted her off of his lap and bent her over the bed. The cool black satin sheets caressed her skin. Her body buzzed with desire for him. Her love.

  “Hold your hands together.”

  Keisha did as he said and waited.

  “You see, I was going to punish you by spanking you.” Garrith swatted her ass, making her jump. “But I know you enjoy that, so…”

  Keisha swallowed, her mouth going dry at the anticipation of what was to come.

  “Ask me how I’m going to punish you.”

  “How are you going to punish me, my love?”

  Garrith ran a hand down her naked back to her tailbone and paused before dipping lower. She arched under his touch.

  He thrust two fingers deep into her, his hot breath grazing her ear. “I’m not going to let you come.”

  Keisha gasped. “You can’t stop me from coming.”

  He chuckled and picked up speed with his fingers, pumping them hard into her. “No? I know your body more than I know my own. I know when you’re about to come and I can stop it from happening.”

  “Try me,” Keisha moaned as a swat landed on her ass. “More. Please.”

  Garrith ran his hand over the tingling spot on her flesh and squeezed. “You’re going to beg me to let you come.”

  Keisha’s heart fluttered, her pussy clenching with need.

  He grabbed her wrists and held them above her head in one hand. “Don’t move.”

  “I wasn’t planning on it.”

  A sharp swat landed on her ass again. “Don’t speak.”

  Keisha bit her bottom lip to keep from responding and reveled in t
he way his hands controlled her body. She loved it every bit as much as she loved him. Her love.

  The sound of a zipper being lowered, made her skin tingle and she jumped when he ran the tip of his cock over her soaked core. He continued teasing her, pushing it through her wet folds and back over her center. Her body vibrated at the torture but she wouldn’t beg. Not yet.

  “Spread your legs, kitten.”

  She did as he said and gasped when he sank into her, filling her. He pushed in as far as he could.

  “Do not come until I tell you to.”

  She nodded, her pussy clenching around him at the hard dominating voice of his. Garrith grabbed both of her hands, holding them in his and leaned over her. He pulled out and bit her shoulder at the same time as he thrust back into her hard. She cried out at the new delicious feeling of that angle. His hips picked up speed, thrusting hard into her as he placed gentle nips on her shoulder blades and nape. Keisha’s body hummed, vibrated with the need for release but she wouldn’t let it until she got permission. Her pussy burned at the deep rough impact of being impaled by his cock but she loved it. Needed it.

  “Ask me,” Garrith’s deep husky voice washed over her, sending shivers down her spine.

  She panted. “Please, may I come, my love?”

  He pushed into her as deep as he could go making her gasp. “When you come, I want you to come hard. Scream my name, kitten.”

  She smiled, licking her lips at her reward.

  Garrith rose to his full height, letting go of her wrists and grabbed onto her waist but didn’t move. “What are you going to do?”

  Keisha lifted off of the bed, placing her hands on the cool sheets. “Come hard and scream your name, Master.”

  Garrith grunted and squeezed her hips. “Come when I tell you.”

  She nodded, electric shivers running over her in anticipation.

  He pulled out and slammed back into her waiting heat, pumping into her hard. Keisha met him thrust for thrust, pushing back against him.

  He lifted her hips, her feet rising off of the floor as he drilled into her. “Now.”

  She screamed as a strong explosion racked through her body as he continued pounding into her pulsing core.

  “That’s it. Scream my name, kitten.”

  And she did. Over and over again.

  Epilogue

  6 months later…

  “How do you think he’s going to react?”

  Keisha chewed her bottom lip and met Tori’s gaze. “I’m…I have no idea. At all.” It had been a year since she got her memory back. A year since she gave herself completely to Garrith. Their relationship had grown like never before. On a level that left them both satiated and wanting more. Always more.

  “I’m sure it’ll be fine,” Tori said reassuringly.

  Keisha sighed and looked down at the small picture in her hand before putting it in her purse. “I hope so. After everything…I just pray this doesn’t set everything back.” Who knew that such a small thing could affect someone’s life at such a greater level?

  A warm hand grabbed hers, squeezing it gently.

  She looked up at her best friend’s brown gaze. “I’m scared.”

  Tori smiled and pulled her beside her on the couch. She curled an arm around her and gave her what she needed. A hug. No words were said. No suggestions. Just a warm, friendly embrace. That moment gave Keisha the courage to tell Garrith. Her heart felt lighter as strength soared through her. She could do this.

  Keisha took a deep breath, gave Tori one last squeeze and rose to her feet just as the doorbell rang. Her heart jumped, her body frozen in place as Tori walked by her. She stopped in front of her and grabbed her hands.

  Keisha looked up at her and with a shaky breath, swallowed past the hard lump in her throat.

  “Garrith loves you, right?”

  Keisha nodded.

  “And you love him?”

  Keisha’s heart swelled with warmth. “More than I ever thought was possible.”

  Tori grinned. “Go. I’ll call you soon.”

  Keisha nodded and turned around. She took a breath and walked down the short hallway of Tori’s house. The door opened, revealing Garrith. Their eyes met and he grinned.

  Her stomach flipped. God, he was gorgeous.

  “Ready, love?”

  All she could do was nod as she followed him out the door. Thoughts of the picture in her purse kept pounding in her skull like it had its own heartbeat.

  After a couple of steps, Garrith stiffened and turned around. Keisha stopped abruptly and looked up into his warm blue eyes.

  “Love.” His fingers grazed her cheek, running a thumb over her bottom lip. “What’s wrong?”

  Keisha frowned, chewing her bottom lip. “Nothing.”

  His brows narrowed. “Try that again and this time, don’t lie to me, pet.”

  Tears burned her eyes as she looked up into the deep blue gaze of the man she loved. A man she was in love with since she was a kid. “I’m…”

  Garrith wrapped his arms around her, running a hand over her hair. “Please talk to me.”

  Keisha sniffed, snuggling her face into the hard contours of Garrith’s torso. The scent of spicy cologne and man invaded her nostrils making her heart skip a beat.

  “I love you, kitten.”

  She pulled away and wiped under her eyes. “I love you,” she whispered.

  Garrith pinched her chin and titled her head back. He leaned down and brushed his mouth along hers, sending an electric shiver down her back. “Now tell me, what’s wrong?”

  She sighed and grabbed onto his shirt, pulling the strength of his big body into hers. “I have something to show you.”

  “What’s that, love?”

  Keisha reached into her purse and pulled out the small picture. She took a breath and handed it to him. He grabbed it from her hand and looked down, his eyes widening. His gaze flicked from hers to the picture repeatedly. She watched as several emotions flashed over his handsome face. Minutes ticked by before he said anything.

  “You’re…you’re…” Garrith cleared his throat.

  Keisha nodded, the tears flowing freely down her cheeks. Garrith let out a breath and fell to his knees, wrapping his arms around her middle. She gasped, a sob escaping her lips as he rained kisses over her lower belly.

  He looked up at her, unshed tears filling his warm eyes. “I love you,” he said, his voice thick. She swallowed, the words frozen on her tongue. “When did you find out?”

  Keisha ran a hand through his soft blonde locks and chewed her bottom lip. “Yesterday.”

  Garrith frowned. “Were you scared to tell me?”

  She nodded, bracing herself. He rose to his feet and cupped her face in his hands before placing a long hard kiss on her lips. Keisha’s body stirred as she gripped his wrists, pulling him closer.

  Garrith’s eyes saddened. “You were worried I wouldn’t be happy?”

  “Yes. Especially after everything.”

  “Love, we were kids the first time it happened. I promise, I will be here for you. With you every step of the way.”

  She took a shaky breath and ran a hand down his chest. “I know, I just…”

  “What?” he asked, softly.

  “We’ve been doing so well, I was scared it would set everything back.”

  Garrith grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles. “I love you. We’re going to get married and we are going to raise this baby with so much happiness, it’ll be sickening.”

  Keisha laughed, tears welling in her eyes at the warmth in Garrith’s gaze. “I love you so much.”

  Garrith grinned. “Looks like we’ll have to tone it down on our ‘playing’.”

  Keisha grabbed onto his belt and pulled him against her. “Not too much toning down.”

  His gaze heated and he leaned down to kiss her mouth. “Not yet, at least. But remember, you’re still and always will be, my slave.”

  Her heart skipped a beat, desire unfurling inside of her
. She cupped the back of his neck, deepening the kiss.

  He released her a moment later and kissed her forehead. “Let’s go home, kitten.”

  Home. She smiled up at him. My love.
