He nodded and kissed the top of her head.
“So be it. I don’t think we were really fooling anyone, anyway.” His arm wrapped around her, holding her tight to him. “I love you and I never meant to hurt you, Baby. Seems no matter what, I’m doomed to hurt women.”
“You are not. Stop beating yourself up.” Steele stayed in his arms as the officer came back in.
“We’re going to need you to go to the station and give us your fingerprints, Steele. We already have Arsen’s and Allen’s on file. I assume you both have been in her room and touched some things?” he asked.
They both nodded.
The officer gave them a weak smile. “Okay, then. After we make the calls to her family to be sure she’s not with any of them, we’re going to get all we can from here. You’ll have to stay somewhere else in the meantime, Miss Gannon. But we’ll need to know where that is. I need you to understand that along with Allen White, you both are persons of interest in this case. No leaving town.”
Steele sighed and took Arsen’s hand.
“So, off to the police station we go and I’ll leave all my information there. I’ll be at his address if you find out anything.”
The officer gave them a wave.
“Get down there and we’ll get working on this right away.”
Arsen took Steele and led her away from the apartment. She looked back as she got into the back of his Suburban. Part of her knew if she’d never gotten into the car she was getting in now, this would not be happening.
As Arsen got in next to her she found herself falling into his chest and sobbing. “I don’t know what I’ll do if he’s killed her, Arsen!”
“Shh.” He held her tight to him. “Don’t think like that. Just have faith she’s going to be alright. We have to keep thinking positive.”
Please let them find her in time!
ARSEN
It seemed like time was always against them. It took hours for Steele to be fingerprinted at the police station. And then the two found themselves waiting to talk to Detective Fontaine.
She’d been assigned to this case as well. Something which Arsen knew was pissing Steele off.
“Does no one else work here?” she asked as they sat in little chairs on the other side of her little desk in the little room they’d been placed in.
Arsen patted her leg.
“Maybe this is for the best.”
The door opened and in came the detective.
“My, oh my! So nice to see the two of you again. Imagine my surprise when I heard Arsen was staying at the apartment the night that a young woman went missing. Well, I was flabbergasted. Then I see he had an alibi as he was in your bed, Miss Gannon. And here I thought you were just his assistant. You assist him in many ways, don’t you, Dear?”
“There’s no reason to act that way, Fontaine,” Arsen said as he ran his arm around Steele’s shoulders. “This poor girl is going through hell. Let’s try to be professional, shall we?”
She made a little huffing sound then gestured to them and said, “How long has this been going on?”
Arsen answered, “We met the night before I found out this one was part of my legal team.”
“And you swept her off her little, young, innocent, and very vanilla feet, didn’t you, Arsen?” The detective sat back in her chair and watched the couple as they held onto each other. “You seem very close now. Not so much this morning. But now, you two look like you actually love one another.”
Steele wasn’t even looking up. So not like her to take this woman’s crap and Arsen felt he was the reason for that.
“Please try to remain professional, Fontaine.”
“Do you two have a contract?” Her words had Steele looking up.
Arsen tightened his hold on her. It was he who answered.
“No.”
He prayed Steele would not tell what she considered to be the truth. Their contract was no more real than Santa Clause. He never meant it to be real and was just waiting for her to say she didn’t want it any longer and he’d tear it up.
Now the damn thing might really be a problem, fake or not.
Steele asked, “What would it matter if we did?”
Fontaine’s eyebrows went up.
“The man you’re all hugged up on might be a killer of his submissive partners, Miss Gannon. It wouldn’t be in your best interest to get into that with him. Nor in his best interest to get involved with anyone in that way. At least not until this is all figured out.”
“He’s innocent,” Steele said as she glared into the detective’s eyes. “I need you to stop fucking around with us and find my friend. Can you just do that, please?”
“You forget that you two could’ve been the ones who have her or have killed her. I need to know what kind of things have been going on. Did you guys ever have like some threesome with Gwen or foursome with her and Allen White?” The detective smiled at Steele.
Arsen ran his hand over his face as he felt Steele’s body go tense. He tried to hold her down as she stood up.
“Now you listen to me, you fucking bitch. I do not like you, not one fucking bit. The fact you came onto the man I love is a thing that has me wanting to beat the shit out of you. So, now you know that he and I are together, I better not even see you wink at him or I’ll tear you a new one.”
“Physical threats?” Detective Fontaine asked with a wink.
Steele placed her hands on the desk and leaned in close. Her tone was low and even as she said, “Physical promises, bitch. We’re leaving and you need to go find my friend. My boy here is a very good lawyer and if she’s found dead because you were fucking around with us so you could get your rocks off on our sex life, it’s you who’ll be sorry.”
Arsen got up and ran his arm around Steele’s waist, picking her feet up off the ground.
“She can be a real Pitbull, Fontaine. Do yourself a favor and find her friend and don’t ask us about what it is we do anymore. You know where we’ll both be. Let us know the moment that you find Gwen.”
He took Steele out of the room and placed her on her feet once he shut the door between the two women.
“I hate her,” Steele said under her breath.
“Really? I could not tell that,” Arsen said with a sarcastic tone.
Leading her out of the police station he took her to where Paul was waiting by his car.
“You guys ready to go home?” he asked as Steele got in.
Arsen gave him a nod.
“Please, Paul.”
Please don’t let anything else go wrong today!
STEELE
In a tub full of hot water, Steele leaned her back against Arsen’s muscled chest. He took a glass of red wine and placed it to her lips. She sipped it then he took a sip and set it back down.
“It feels good having it all out there. I’m relieved.” Arsen ran his hands through her hair. He’d washed it and conditioned it and she was feeling much more relaxed after his pampering.
She rolled over in his arms and placed her lips on his. Then looked at him. “Are you really glad? I mean this is a lot for you now. A real girlfriend and a real relationship on top of all the other crap. You think it’s what you really want?”
He pulled her over him, and she found his hard-on pressing to her.
“Want a ride?” He smiled.
She slipped over him and slid down his long shaft. She moaned as he filled her.
“That feels amazing.”
He kissed the tip of her nose.
“To answer your question. It is what I really want, Baby. I’ve never wanted anything more.”
He lifted her and set the pace. Her body moved up and down on him easily in the deep water of the large bath tub. Their wet bodies slid against each other’s and she twisted her hands into his hair which had grown nearly to his shoulders.
Arsen took her breast into his large hands and squeezed them, stroking both nipples with his thumbs. Steele moaned with the sensation.
Movi
ng up and down him with an urgency she was startled when he stopped her. His hands on her shoulders. Holding her still. His dark eyes she found looking at her when she opened hers.
“You don’t come until I tell you to.” He pulled her mouth to his and moved his hands off her shoulders and fisted both hands with locks of her long hair.
He kissed her hard, his tongue running all over her mouth. She suddenly felt her body reaching the point she knew she had to wait for. His kiss was taking her over the edge just like his dick was as it filled her over and over.
She was falling over the edge and she couldn’t stop it. Steele tried not to let him know she’d climaxed. The moan which threatened, she managed to keep in and she thought she’d gotten away with it when he pulled his mouth back from hers.
He shook his head slowly.
“Naughty girl. What did I tell you to do?”
Her eyes were wide.
“I couldn’t help it.”
“Get out of the tub,” he ordered her.
“Arsen!”
“Do as I’ve said.” He let her go, and she got up and out of the tub.
“What are you going to do?” She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself.
With no emotion in his handsome face, he said, “Take that towel off and go lean over the side of the bed and wait there for me. You seem to need reminding of a thing or two.”
Steele gave him a look but his eyes were dark and she dropped hers and went to do as he’d told her to. As she leaned over the bed she found her stomach tensing.
Is he really going to spank me?
With her head laid on the bed, Steele saw him walk out of the bathroom with a white towel hung around his waist. His chiseled abs moved with each step he took towards her.
He stopped at the closet and pulled a leather belt out of it and bent it in half. She found her heart beating hard in her chest. Moving past her, she heard the drawer opening and then felt something soft being pulled across the skin on her back.
Her eyes were covered then with the soft material and he moved her hands up over her head. He wrapped something around them, binding them together.
His hands ran over her ass. Her body went hot in an instant. The leather of the belt she felt moving down her back then over one ass cheek.
She bit he lower lip as she waited for the first strike. Instead she felt him lean over her and grab her by the hair, pulling her head up. His body was against her back, his lips near her ear.
“Are you to come whenever you want when I tell you to wait for my command?”
“No,” she whispered.
A little bite he gave her neck.
“What?”
“No Sir,” she said as she blew out a breath.
The bite had her body tingling. She had no real idea of what he’d do, but somehow, she trusted him not to hurt her.
She felt the leather moving between her legs. It was soft and supple as he raked it over her clit.
“You want to come again, Baby?”
A low moan came from her as her answer. He leaned over her again. His mouth touched her ear.
“I’m going to use something else this time. See if you can figure out what it is.”
Her mind went blank.
“Arsen! What is it?” Her words came out in a shriek.
The deep sound of his laugh had her trying to get up, and he grabbed her and flipped her over on her back and hoisted her up. Her bound hands were placed over the bedpost, keeping her in place.
“Don’t you trust me, Steele?” The leather belt ran over her stomach.
She shivered.
“Yes.”
“Good. You do remember that I love you.” The belt ran down her stomach and he laid it over her sex, leaving it on her.
The cool leather rested against her clit. The constant lightweight of it had her throbbing for more. Then a humming sound filled her ears. The smell of cherries filled the air and then a warm, moist vibrating thing touched the opening of her vagina.
Arsen pushed her legs further apart. Then pushed the thing into her. It vibrated parts of her she didn’t realize would even like that. She felt him move his body next to hers.
He turned her face to his and kissed her as his other hand moved the vibrator in and out of her. It was an odd feeling. Like she was kissing one person and letting another fuck her.
She never thought about such a thing and found herself extremely aroused. His tongue stroked hers as his other hand moved down and rubbed the leather over her clit.
It was amazing. He pulled his mouth away.
“Do not come until I tell you to.”
She moaned a little, and he kissed her again. His mouth was wet and hot and the way he kissed was amazing. She could really focus on how his mouth blended with hers.
His tongue ran over her teeth. Something happened, and the vibration went faster. He pumped it faster and took the belt away to use his finger to stimulate her clit.
She had to focus on his kiss to stop herself from climaxing. Her legs were shaking from the need to release. When he finally pulled the vibrating thing out of her, he placed the wide tip right on her clit and she knew she couldn’t hold back much longer.
He moved his body over hers as he continued to kiss her. Her head moved along with him and when he pushed himself into her she arched up to meet him, desperate to let it out.
Arsen didn’t make even one stroke. He stayed perfectly still then pulled his mouth away. “Come.”
Her body crashed around his and he groaned along with her as her body pulsed around his cock. “Fuck, that’s amazing, Baby!”
He pressed into her as deep as he could go then pulled out and slammed back into her. Steele’s body was shaking as he began his assault on her. Slamming into her hard and fast.
It felt as if a Wild-man was on her. After repeated, hard thrusts he suddenly pulled out of her and took her bound hands from the bedpost.
She was jostled around as he moved her. He took her by the ankles and moved up with them until her heels were by her ears and she felt him press his hard cock into her again.
He took her bound hands and placed them over his head and around his neck. Then he moved them both as he seemed to be sitting back on his feet.
He began lifting her body, making her stroke him. She was amazed as he lifted her over and over. She had to say something as she was just too stunned. “Wow! You’re really strong, Arsen!”
His words came out a little strained as he was exerting himself.
“Uh, huh. And no coming until I say.”
“Of course, sir,” she said with a little giggle. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”
“And no talking. You’re distracting me.”
In their position, their mouths couldn’t reach the others to kiss so her mind wandered to what they must look like. A human pretzel was what she came up with.
The way his muscles felt around her body had her mesmerized. The sight deprivation let her hear everything. The little sloshing sounds their connected bodies made was kind of sexy and she found that along with the muscles moving around her and the little pumps he was making inside her too much.
Her body was about to let go and she had no idea how she was going to control that in the crazy position. So she resorted to the old Kegel trick and in no time Arsen was telling her to come as he climaxed.
As they caught their breath, Arsen began to untangle their bodies. He laid her back, removed her arms from his neck and let her legs go back down.
“You’re very supple. Not everyone can do that position.” He kissed her forehead and put her bound hands back over the bed post.
“More?” she asked. “And I didn’t have any real choice in getting into that position. You kind of pretzeled me into it.”
His lips pressed against her clit and she arched up as it was still pulsing and tender to the touch. The mere touch was about to set her off again.
“Of course more, Baby. You pulled your trick on me and I have to get you
back.” The sound of the vibrator filled the air, and it was on her.
He moved it over her as it warmed up and vibrated her entire sex. She moaned and wiggled.
“Oh my God, Baby! Can I at least come when I want?”
“Hell, no! What kind of relationship do you think this is?” He leaned over and took one of her tits in his mouth. Licking it constantly.
She was writhing trying to hold it back. Her voice was shaking as the vibrator had her whole body vibrating. “But you love me, Arsen!”
His hot mouth moved off her tit, and he trailed gentle kisses over her chest and along her neck. Then his voice spread warmth over her as he said.
“I do love you, now come for me, Baby.”
Steele moaned loudly as she fell apart and the sound of the vibrator stopped, but the buzzing feeling in her didn’t.
He pulled her hands down and let them out of the bind then rubbed her wrists then her shoulders. Then he took the blindfold off and kissed her cheek.
With a smile, he said, “You do remember our safe word, don’t you, Baby?”
She nodded and ran her hand over his cheek.
“I knew I could’ve used it, but you didn’t hurt me.”
“I never want to hurt you. You need to always tell me if I do and I’ll stop. To excite you is all I want. To love you is my only priority.” His fingers ran over her lips and he leaned up on his elbow with his head propped on his palm so he could look down at her.
Her heart ached with how beautiful she thought he was. The man was changing right in front of her eyes and she wished liked hell it could just be like any other normal relationship without the constant threat of prison or any of the other things she felt hanging over their heads.
The truth was his ways did excite her. Even as he ordered her to get out of the tub and wait for him, she felt little fear he was actually going to hurt her. There was a part of her who loved it.
His changes were making him into a man who would be perfect for her and now that their relationship was out in the open everything would be great. If only they weren’t being implicated in the disappearance of Gwen, and the murders Arsen was still being considered for.
