Auctioned To Daddy: BDSM Romance

by Amy Faye

  Chapter Thirty-One

  MAGUIRE

  Ryan takes my hands in his and pulls them away from his shirt. Part of me worries, as if this is going to be some kind of rejection. A rejection I've known all too well, more times than I would like to recall.

  Then his arms bunch up and push and I lose my balance when my legs hit the bed. I fall back and find myself looking up at him. His fingers work the buttons on his shirt, and it falls back behind him. The undershirt goes after a moment later.

  I can see the lines of his body, as if they'd been traced there by God himself. He's like a statue in motion, and then he reaches down and stops my hands, idly undoing my own shirt-buttons, and does it himself. His hands work simply, directly, and quickly.

  He doesn't waste any motions. No faster than a comfortable pace, yet he doesn't take even a second longer than he needs to, and then my shirt is open. My bra barely contains my breasts, threatening to fall out the top from the way I fell.

  I sit forward just enough to reach around behind and undo it, and I take my clothes. The first time we came together, he took so much care to make sure that I had everything I could want.

  A little voice inside me, a voice I know is more competitive than it should be, tells me that I have to return the favor. If I don't, it says, he'll lose interest. I can't let it go without proving that I'm able to do what I want—and sometimes, that what I want is for him to feel good.

  I work the buckle on his belt for a second. It comes apart easily, and the weight pulls his pants down over his narrow hips so easily that my hands are doing little more than helping guide them.

  Even through the fabric of his boxers, I can see the outline of his hardness, standing out and proud. It looks uncomfortable, there. I pull them away from his body a little bit, giving his cock room to breathe.

  After a moment I pull it down a little, enough to reveal the head. I press a kiss onto it, experimentally. He lets out a soft breath, one that goes right to my head.

  I give it another experimental kiss, pull his boxers down a little more. Now it's standing out and hard. Hard for me. I kiss it a third time, wrapping my fingers around it. The feeling in my hand is good, like it's shaped just for me.

  This time I taste the length with my tongue, swirling at the last moment around the head. Another soft hitch in his breath. I like the sound of it, like the way that he tries to hide it from me.

  Finally, though, the moment of truth. I open my mouth and take the head of his cock inside. He lets out a long, low breath, and his cock twitches inside my mouth. I take it deeper, feeling the fullness in my mouth.

  I start bobbing my head softly. His hands find my hair, not unlike I did his. He forces himself to hold back, even though I know he wants to guide me, and I don't know that I want him not to.

  I take it deeper still, the head dangerously close to the back of my throat. Ryan groans above me, his hips moving subtly to press in deeper still, trying to get every ounce of pleasure out of me. I pull back, enjoying the way that he tries to hide his disappointment.

  His cock comes out of my mouth with a soft slurp, and I smile up at him.

  "Do you like that?"

  He closes his eyes slowly. "Fuck yes."

  My smile widens and I take it back in my mouth. I go slow. Slow enough to taunt him. It doesn't take him long to figure out the message, and I can feel his hand pressing me, forcing me deeper, faster. I don't fight him now that he's finally taking control.

  I can feel him getting close, can feel the increased urgency of his movements. I know what comes next, and I'm ready for it. Instead, he pulls me back, off his cock.

  I'm breathing as hard as he is, now, arousal surging through me that I can't begin to explain.

  He doesn't offer me any explanation for why he stopped me, either. He just puts his hand on my chest and pushes. I fall back, not resisting. He undoes my belt, pulls my pants down and off. They're discarded on the floor beside the rest of our clothes.

  He grabs me by my legs and pulls me down the bed. I can already feel where he's lining himself up with one hand. The other presses a palm into my breast and squeezes softly. His voice is low, and I can see his teeth when he says, like an animal's growl.

  "You're mine." A shudder runs through my body. "And I'm going to make you mine."

  The thrust that takes me makes my eyes shoot wide, all on their own. One hard, long motion and then he's inside me to the hilt. I don't have time to cry out until after.

  By the time my body catches up with itself, it's already built to a fever pitch and comes out louder than I want it to. Loud enough that I'm worried the guy in the office could have heard it.

  He pulls out and slams back home again. Another moan bubbles out of my throat, forcing its way out in ways that I can't stop, and wouldn't if I could.

  His hand goes around my throat and I want it there. I try to take a breath, but only a tiny bit of air comes through. Enough to tell me I'm choking.

  The haze of oxygen deprivation begins almost immediately, swirls in my head with the feeling of another powerful thrust into my pussy. I don't know if that's me moaning or not, any more, but it sounds like my voice.

  I can feel myself tightening around him, the pleasure too much to stand any more, and yet I can't stop myself, either. I can feel him speeding up his thrusts, taking the pleasure that I'm desperate to give.

  His hand tightens for one last thrust, cutting off what little air I was able to pull in before—and then he pulls off and I take a sweet, deep, oxygen-filled breath.

  My head immediately goes blank, my vision goes dark. In my hazy, pleasure-filled mind, I can feel his cock moving inside me, my pussy milking him as best it can.

  My vision starts to come through again, dim and blurry. I don't need it. My eyes close as another orgasm takes me, my hands looking for any purchase it can find, and finding the bed-sheets beneath me. My hands ball up into tight fists and I try to pull myself closer to him however I can.

  Another thrust, hard and deep, and I hear Ryan let out a roar above me and he leans down to take one of my nipples in his mouth, not pulling back out this time. The tell-tale warmth of his seed starts to spread through my belly.

  We lay there a little while longer, breath coming in hard and hot and ragged. When he pulls out, I almost feel a little bit disappointed, through the glow of pleasure. But we've got time. Plenty of time for a second go, and if it's half as good as the first, I'm sure I'll get over it.

  Chapter Thirty-Two

  RYAN

  I lay back beside Maguire, gasping for breath. She's got her eyes closed, breathing almost as hard as I am. I let my own eyes close for a minute.

  "Okay, we can talk now," I say.

  Maguire doesn't respond right away. I push myself up, watching her breasts heave as she gulps down breaths. I could watch her like this forever, I think. But I don't have forever.

  I have an hour or two before the sun comes up, and then we've got until nightfall to clean up this mess. I see the smile worming its way onto her face, and I see the way that she forces the corners of her lips down to hide it.

  "You're a real smart ass, you know that?"

  "Guilty as charged," I tell her.

  I let my finger trace circles around her nipple lazily. It stiffens immediately, her body absolutely ready to continue where we left off.

  "Where is your brother?"

  "He's at home, last I checked." A thought runs through my head and I dart for my phone. No missed calls, which means he hasn't run into any trouble.

  "You've got someone on the inside. That job picking up the Crazy Horse stuff—someone must've told."

  "I know," I tell her. I don't mention that I don't know who it is. If she brought it up, she's got thoughts on the subject, I figure.

  "I don't know the details—but I think it was Spider."

  I raise an eyebrow. "You figure?"

  "He was working for us."

  I let out a breath. Well, it's out there now. "I know. But
if he had a way to talk to Scheck, then why would you have come to me?"

  "We wouldn't. You'd be in a federal holding cell right now, Beauchamp."

  "And I will be in another day or two."

  She gets quiet. I guess that she doesn't like the reminder that, as 'friendly' as we've gotten over the past couple of days, we're not friends.

  "He would've reported the job."

  "So what you're saying is—"

  "Someone in the chain of command is a leak, but you've got more suspects than you think."

  I curse and lay my head back. "If that's the case, then there's going to be more trouble before we can clear this up. No doubt about it."

  "If someone's on the inside, then they're either awful damn close to an arrest, or…"

  She doesn't need to finish the thought. Or, someone saw what kind of money changes hands and decided they'd like to make some of it themselves.

  If it's Agent Ball, well, they're probably fine. I think I can take him, if it's a straight fight. If I get the drop on him, it won't even be a competition.

  But it could be anyone. All the way up. It could be the head of the A.T.F. for all we know, which isn't a pretty position at all.

  I take a deep breath. "They must know you've got some idea."

  "I think you're right." She pushes herself up onto her elbows. I try to make that moment last as long as possible, before we have to get back to the craziness that is coming, that's taken over my life the past couple days.

  "So what do we do about it?"

  "You don't have any ideas?"

  I have a few, but they're not the kind of ideas that you enumerate in front of a cop. "Not really."

  "Here, I figured, guy like you—we can just have them shot."

  The way she says it is serious, as if she hasn't even grasped how crazy it would sound to an outsider. The thought makes me smile.

  "Say we did, then what? We'd have to get Scheck and the big motherfucker—"

  "Shane Rosen."

  "If you say so," I agree. "Point being, we'd have to get them all at once, or they just send goons after us. We have to take over overnight."

  "Are you saying it's impossible?"

  I lay back and look up at the ceiling. It's got a crack in it that would worry me if I were staying here more than another few hours.

  "No, I suppose I'm not."

  "That's what I wanted to hear."

  "You know what I want to hear?"

  "What?"

  "I want to hear that there's more to this than a few days of being used to further your career."

  She gets quiet. "Ryan, I—"

  "I don't even know your damn name, and here I am, lining up to take a hit at the biggest gang this side of the Mexican border."

  I keep my voice neutral, but as the words come out of my mouth, I can feel the anger rising anyways.

  She stays quiet. Is it so much to ask, I think to myself. I don't think it is. Just a name. A real name.

  I push myself up and start dressing. My jeans slip up and the belt loops around my waist, cinching them tight. I turn around to pick up my shirt.

  Maguire hasn't moved. Not an inch, not a single hair on her head. Her eyes are wet, but there's no marks of tears falling down her cheeks.

  "I don't want to talk about it."

  Part of me wants to leave it be. Always wanted to let it be, because in my business, if someone doesn't want to talk about it, you don't talk about it. But in my business, people don't ask you to risk your life, your brother's lives, your men's lives—all so you can maybe, possibly not go to jail this time.

  "I don't want to have feds breathing down my neck. I don't want to march into a meat grinder for a cop who threatened to have my balls in a vice for the next thirty years if she had her way. But if it's for a woman—for you—then I'll do it."

  "Ryan, I—"

  "A name. It's not much to ask, is it? Your name."

  Her voice is soft when she speaks next. There's a little tremor, a slow start. "Sa… Sara. My name is Sara."

  "Nice to meet you, Sara."

  I hold my hand out. She doesn't take it. Her voice is still fragile when she says, softly, "Don't call me that."

  I take a breath and lean down. Her forehead is hot when I press my lips against it. Her arms wrap around my chest, pull me down onto her, and her face buries into my neck.

  I lay there like that on top of her for a while. She doesn't say anything, but I can hear the sounds of her breathing, unsteady and unsure.

  Whatever it is that did this to her, it hurts. I understand being hurt. Nobody gets on this side of the law without having hurt, and hurt bad. But now, with Sara Maguire, I don't know what to say to make it go away.

  I don't think it's going to be that simple. So I cradle her head in my hands and let her do what she has to do until she pulls away from me a little.

  Her eyes are wet, and her face has gone red and splotchy. But laid over top of all that, she's got her game face back on.

  The one thing I've seen from Maguire this past week is, she's every bit a woman, but when she needs to be, she can be a cast-iron bitch. And now, when we need all hands on deck, the ability to turn the hurt off is what we need.

  A big part of me wants to make it go away, forever. But we don't have have that luxury. It's her strength that will get her through this. Then, maybe, we'll be able to see about healing whatever cut her so deep that she can't stand her own name.

  Chapter Thirty-Three

  MAGUIRE

  I feel better as soon as I can get back to work. That's how it is, and that's how it's always been. I don't want to talk about it and I don't want to think about it.

  So when we climb back into the car, and Ryan tells me to start driving, and we'll figure out a plan on the road, I couldn't have asked for more.

  "We need Logan," Ryan starts. I couldn't agree more.

  "Okay."

  "He thinks you used us as bait, though. He's not going to want to see your car out there."

  "That's too bad. I'm not leaving you alone. You know what that could be risking? No chance."

  "Then we'll need something of mine, at least. Come on. We need some way to raise a white flag and let him know not to try to blow my brains out. Hell, not to blow your brains out."

  I don't like it, but I can't find any fault in what he's saying.

  "So we go pick up your bike. You can hide it anywhere else, right?"

  I look away from the road. I can't afford to keep looking at his face as long as I want to, but I have time to see him nod.

  "Yeah, that's no problem. I've been getting a lot of practice lately."

  My jaw tightens. I don't like this plan one bit. It's dangerous, and it's the sort of risk-taking that I've come to expect from Beauchamp. One of these days, it's going to come back to bite him in a bad way, but right now we're going to have to count on it.

  "Okay."

  I pull into the left turn lane at the last second as the light changes and put my foot down on the gas. The car lurches under us, but it makes the corner just fine.

  Two and a half blocks back to Ryan's house. The place is dark, and I take a lap around the block before pulling up to the driveway and letting him out.

  There might be surveillance. I can't guarantee there isn't. But it's better than our usual work, if there is. Nobody sitting in a car eating a cheeseburger and waiting for him to step out of my sedan.

  He steps out, and my entire body tenses up, ready for someone to jump out at any minute. Nobody does. It's a bit anticlimactic as he walks up to the bike, steps into the saddle, and turns the key, and the bike growls to life.

  I start driving, getting myself turned around so I can follow him. He starts moving, not too fast to follow, but he's in a hurry and I can tell.

  Part of me feels bad about it. He's under a heavy pressure, and anyone can see it. But that doesn't mean that I can afford to change anything for him, either.

  No, we're both under a lot of pressure, and there's not
going to be any sort of release valve until Scheck and her boys are out of the picture.

  I try not to think about alternative ways of getting them out of the way. I'm a cop, not a judge. Certainly not an executioner. My hands tighten around the wheel, and then I relax them again.

  No reason to get crazy, now. I just have to keep myself under control. That's all. Nice and easy, no problems.

  Ryan's hand comes up to signal a turn. How delightfully old-timey. I don't have anything I can do to signal that I've seen him, but I flick the indicator with my finger-tip. When he turns, I follow him.

  It only takes five minutes, give or take, for the groups of houses to start looking in better repair, for the roads to be clearer under my tires, and then Ryan pulls off into one of the side streets.

  I've been this route once before, but I was too busy trying not to fall off the bike to really remember it. Now that we're almost here, I'm recognizing more and more of it.

  I pull up behind him in a driveway. The place looks empty, the lights all turned off. But then, the garage is closed, so there's no reason to assume that he hasn't just pulled his stuff inside, and it's still early morning. Might be he's not an early riser.

  Ryan steps up to the window and knocks. I roll it down.

  "Stay here. Keep the engine running. I'm gonna go get him, we'll follow you back to the hotel once we're out."

  "Don't take too long. There might be someone watching, and if there is—"

  "I get it," he says.

  "As long as you know what's at stake."

  He leans in and presses his lips against mine. He has a long way to go, and I have a long time to figure out what's going on, but somehow it still catches me off-guard. My lips are tingling when he pulls back from the kiss.

  "I'll be back in just a minute. Trust me."

  "Okay."

  He has a key ring in his hand already. Hasn't even slipped it into his pocket. He flips to a key, undoes the front gate. It slides open real easy, and then he unlocks the front door and heads inside.
