[B.S. #1] Tied Up in Knotts

by Dale Cadeau

  Tiptoeing down the hall, Avery spotted James in the same chair that he had been sitting in earlier. He was sitting in a halo of light shining down from the lamp beside him, leaning back and every now and then, Avery watched as he sipped at his Scotch. He seemed to be deep in thought, looking off into space.

  He looked to Avery as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and was looking for a solution from the heavens. With the soft glow on his raven black hair, he looked like a fallen angel to her and she almost laughed at her musing. She didn’t think anyone would mistake the man sitting there with anything holy. Avery couldn’t wait, she had to tell him how she felt, if she didn’t she thought she would burst.

  Rushing up to James she threw her arms around him, making him jump and spill his Scotch in his lap. James had been so deep in thought he hadn’t heard Avery’s approach.

  His thoughts came to a crashing halt when he felt the cold wetness of the Scotch soaking into his now quickly deflating cock, which had been hard while he thought of her.

  Springing out of his chair and breaking the hold her arms had around him, James muttered, “God damn,” pulling his wet pants away from his body. Turning to Avery James said without thought, “What were you thinking? Do you want to waste all my Scotch?”

  Noticing the disheartened look on Avery’s face, James forgot about his wet clothes. He hastily put his glass on the table and enfolded her into his arms. Scotch didn’t matter, she was what truly mattered. He just held her close to his body and kissed the top of her head, that was now laid over his heart as she cuddled up to him.

  She belonged in his arms, the feeling of being whole enveloping him. James just stood there and took in the calm feeling settling through his whole body. Nothing could replace this feeling of being complete. He just had to make her understand.

  Slowly he unwounded her arms from around him. Putting his arm around her shoulders, he led her into the bedroom. Stopping beside the bed, he turned her to face him, softly grasping her chin and raising her head, his focus on her lips.

  Her lip were slightly trembling. James lowered his head and took them with his. He wanted to devour her at his first taste. Holding himself back, he lightened the kiss and let her lips go, to look up into the pools of green that were looking at him with love shining brightly in their depths.

  “Is this the build up to my spanking? Because, if it is, I think we should just skip it and keep going and see where this leads us instead.” Raising both hands, she caressed his cheeks with one of her fingers, then got up on her tippy toes and brought her mouth to his.

  “I love you, James,” she said as she released his lips. “I just wanted you to know. I also understand what you were trying to say earlier about my outfit. I don’t think I would like women gobbling you up with their eyes, if you wore something that, as you put it, was advertising. I’m finding I am very possessive, too. I know I don’t have a claim on you, but for tonight can we forget everything and just be together?”

  Gripping Avery around the waist, James hugged her close to his body, and then laid her down on the bed with his body following hers every step. James made himself comfortable between her legs. His cock making a place for itself between her folds.

  Reached up, he gently brushed the hair from around her face and looked down into the green eyes staring back at him.

  “You might thing you don’t have a claim, but I was yours the first time that you laid eyes on me. I just wanted to grab you out of that diner and run away with you. So baby, what I’m trying to say is, I love you too and everything I have is yours, you only have to ask.” Lowering his head, he reclaimed her lips. His left hand held her head just where he wanted it as he devoured her mouth, now he knew she was his.

  His right hand made its way down to her cloth-covered breast, where he found a hard nipple poking into his hand without any stimulation. Going lower, he gripped the bottom edge of her T-shirt and raised it to her chin, unclasping the front clasp of her bra and peeling back the cup and teasing her nipple.

  Avery was now trying to squirm away from his lip, desperately trying to get her hands from beneath his chest so she could touch him. James just leaner harder into her. He made sure she could breathe, but he couldn’t let her touch him right now. He would go off like a school boy and he needed to be buried in her when that happened.

  Trying to distract her, his hand left her breast and made its way down to her mound. He could feel her heat through the panties that she wore. He started to circle her clit through her panties now that Avery was lifting up to him, not trying to escape his arms.

  Lifting up, James made quick work of ridding her of her clothes. When she tried to help with his Scotch-soaked ones, he took her hands in both of his and held them away from his body, gently pushing her back on the bed.

  “Just lay there. I want to be able see all your beauty while I take my clothes off.” James rose from the bed and started pulling his wet clothes off.

  Avery lay back down on the bed. Looking up at James, she admired his rippling muscles and trim waist as he took off each piece of clothes. While she didn’t want to change the mood, she just couldn’t let it go. She had to know, she didn’t want a spanking from James, this moment was too perfect

  “What happened to the big bad Dom that wanted to spank me? Not that I’m complaining.” Avery was drooling just looking at James as his stiff cock came into view, nearly reaching his stomach. She was eating him up with her big green eyes and not thinking about her words.

  James felt ten feet tall, knowing that Avery loved him. Avery could never hide her feelings, her eyes always showed what she felt and with just one look into her green eyes staring up at him James could tell he was well loved…He hoped she never changed. He didn’t want to talk, but Avery being a brat would keep it up until she had an answer. “The Dom has been tamed.” Avery glanced up into his eyes in surprise.

  Stalking to the bed, his cock pointed in her direction, James added, “But just for tonight. Don’t think I’m not keeping track of all your bratty words, but tonight is not the time for discipline. I just want to sink into you and never come out.” With that said he climbed on the bed and gently covered her with his body, keeping his weight off her with his elbows on either side of her head. Taking her lips, his cock, nearly bursting with need, reached her heat at the same time. Plunging into her warmth. James let her mouth go long enough to groan at the exquisite feeling. He felt scorched. It had never felt like this before for him. He knew she filled all the holes in his life and she was all he would every need. He knew he was connected to his soul mate in that moment.

  Avery was bowled over by the feeling of James’s hard cock in her. She loved the feeling of being so full, he stretched her almost to the point of pain. But it had also started a fire in her. She couldn’t just lie back and let things unfold at his pace. He was slowly plunging and retreating into her cunt, she could feel all the veins of his cock as he continued to harden in her, his pace was driving her crazy. Grabbing James shoulders, she raised her mound grinding her clit against his cock, her explosion was near, just a little harder and faster and she would reach bliss.

  “I love you, James, nothing compares to this feeling I get when you are inside me. You just seem to complete me.” Avery breathed into his mouth as she deepened the kiss.

  James just lost it at her words, speeding up he pounded into her, continuing to grind down on her clit with every hard downward stroke of his cock. He was nearing the edge of his stamina, he could feel the tingling starting in his balls. He could hardly think, but he knew she had to go over first. Finally, James felt her flutter around his cock with one last plunge into her tight sheath, he felt his balls tighten up and he lost his load. His cum streamed out of him so fast he had a head rush. James thought he must have blacked out for a second. Next thing he knew he was resting on top of Avery, with her small arms wrapped around him. She was petting him wherever her arms could reach and he could feel her tiny kisses on his cheek. James qu
ickly realized that he was too heavy and tried to move. Avery was having none of that, holding him tighter she asked him to stay put.

  She loved the feeling of cuddling James, skin to skin. She knew with James, she had to take what she could while his mood was soft and giving.

  Chapter Twenty-Three

  James walked into the meeting the next morning, with what could only be called a shit-eating grin from ear to ear. He had left Avery curled up still sleeping in bed. He had been greedy and worn her out, reaching for her many times through the night. James had devoured every inch of her.

  He should be saturated, but he still had a hard time leaving her alone to come to the meeting. After their last love session, Avery had looked like she had passed out and gave little snores as she slept.

  James knew he had to give her a break, after all they had the rest of their lives to devour each other. He didn’t have to gorge himself all the time. He had a long talk to his cock in the shower this morning, as he took himself in hand so he wouldn’t give in to the impulse to wake up Avery. His cock would learn. Laughing at his thoughts, James sat at the long table in the conference room of the office and took the coffee cup that Clay extended to him.

  “Get that silly grin off your face, brother.” James hadn’t even notice that Chase was also sitting at the table with the other guys. He had to get his proper head in the game.

  “You’re just jealous,” James said with another grin as he sipped his coffee.

  “Shit yeah. I think I speak for all the guys here that face of yours tells a story and we get the message loud and clear. Try and not look so happy. It just depresses me.”

  Chase changed the subject abruptly. “I got thinking about this case when I got home and blew my Wednesday night date off. She was sure pissed, but I just couldn’t get my head off the problem with Avery and her property. I spent most of the evening going over the details that Grant had found out from the share certificate. I think I might have a solution to her ownership. What do you think, if Grant can pull it off, changing the ownership of the numbered company to Carlos before you let the Feds know?”

  “Can we do that legally, Chase?” Clay asked. “If it can be done, I think with your devious mind, you’re in the wrong profession, you should be working with us.”

  “Well we can. I have a plan but I have to run it by Grant first. It will take some maneuvering on the computer, and I don’t want to bring in any of my guys from my firm.”

  Looking at Grant, Chase outlined the plan that he had spent the night thinking about.

  “We will have to change the share ownership of the company, just before the company that is based off shore. From your findings, Avery is the trustee of that company. We want the Feds to stop at Carlos and if you can cover our tracks, they will see no need to go out beyond the States.”

  Grant spoke up. “Changing everything should be a piece of cake. I started hacking when I was given my first computer. I was an inquisitive kid, you really don’t want to know what I get up too these days. After I tell you what I found in the notebook, I think we should go into my office and see what we can pull off together.”

  That got Clay’s attention. Putting his coffee cup down on the table with a thud, he asked, “What did you find? And please make it good news.”

  Grant picked up the computer printouts on the table before him, “I went through the book and found a lot of numbers, symbols and, like Angel said, longitude and latitude, I was right it is a diary of Carlos’s drug pickup and deliveries. It also includes every undercover operation that Carlos has. No wonder he is after Avery. This book is like a road map to all of his holdings. Avery’s father must have gotten in right at the start of Carlos’s business dealings to know all of this. It was probably kept as insurance for her dad, if at any time Carlos would think of turning on him. He kept such good notes that it even tells us where the drugs are being produced and the shipping companies used. If the Feds get their hands on this book, its good-bye to Carlos and some very important businessmen around the country.”

  “If it’s that valuable, I don’t like the idea that we got away so easily from those guys yesterday. They could have easily followed us back here.” Clay took a sip of his now-cold coffee.” I’ll have to get on it right away. We’re secure up here, but they probably have something planned.”

  James looked at Clay. “I agree, looking back it was too easy. But I think we now have to be even more devious. I like Chase’s idea to change the ownership of the shares and keep it as far away from Avery’s name as possible.

  “But, let’s go one step further and really pin it on Carlos. Why don’t we take a trip down to Florida and really make sure that the missing drugs are there. After all, so far it’s just speculation on our part. Let’s make certain. I think we should leave the notebook with the drugs when we find them. And make a nice package for the Feds to discover. If we’re going to sink Carlos let’s go the whole way and make sure we shut down production and delivery. I’m sure the Feds, when they get their hands on that book, they will be so busy looking into all Carlos’s dealings that Avery will be the last thing on their minds.”

  Clay looked at James, adding his thoughts. “I agree that we should make a trip down there. We’ll have to scope out the house or cottage to see if we can find the drugs and leave the notebook with them. We want to be able to give the Feds a direct road map to exactly where to find this stuff. Grant can stay here with Chase working out the kinks of getting the shares in Carlos’s name. While that’s being done, Angel and I can go down and have a look.”

  “I have to go,” James argued back, “I can’t let you and Angel take that kind of risk for me. She’s my woman and I should be the one risking my neck for her, not you two. Angel can stay here and protect her. I think it should just be me sticking my neck out. But knowing you”—he paused and looked over at Clay—“you’re not going to let me go alone, are you?”

  Clay just nodded his head at James, so he continued, “And I would really like the other guys to stay and protect this building, including Chase’s firm and employees.”

  Chase looked up from the quiet conversation he was having with Grant. “Why my building? I’m just an everyday investment broker. I don’t think he would hit my building.”

  “Yes, he would by association. They now know that you were with us down in Florida, when we got the contents out of the safety deposit box. Carlos would have been given a full detailed report of what went down. So, you might think this is a glamorous business and want in, but you’re forgetting it’s also a very dangerous one. You’re already on their radar being my brother and we have been keeping a close watch on you. But now, by you taking part in this operation, you can’t be considered an innocent bystander. You’ll have to be extra vigilant until we put Carlos away. Shit, all of us have to be extra careful. We have to keep a very close watch on Avery. I still think he will be making his move shortly. By now he will have figured out that we have must have gotten some information from the safety box. He won’t know what we found out, but he’s a smart man, he’s had to have been to get where he is today. So he will put the pieces together and not want to take a chance on us exposing him.”

  James didn’t want to scare Chase, but he had to make him aware of the danger he had placed himself in when he decided to get on their plane.

  “I know that you think you should be the one going because Avery’s your woman, but we’ve all come to like Avery. Hell, I think of her as a little sister. I don’t think your mind will be totally on the job. You’ll be thinking of Avery back here and wondering if she’s OK. Let me and Angel take care of this.” Clay now stood at the table, looking down at James. “I think the plan’s good, just not the players.”

  Trying to make Clay see his reason, he explained, “Look, we all know that Angel has a sixth sense. I think he would be best guard for Avery. He will sense danger before I could even get wind of it. Doing this for me is something that is beyond your job. I can’t ask this of any of y
ou. Since you have made yourself the overseer to our group, I know you won’t let me go alone. I won’t pretend that I’m looking forward to this, but as this is my operation. I’m making the decision.”

  Turning to the others, James continued. “I’m going and Clay won’t stay behind. So it’s up to the rest of you to keep Avery, Chase, and each other safe. That’s final.” James didn’t like to pull rank like they were back in the army, but this was the way it had to be.

  James looked at the resigned faces of the men surrounding the table. They knew he wouldn’t change his mind once he made it up. For this to work, he needed to match the players in the best places for their abilities. He had gotten them out of tight spots in the past and he knew all their strengths and weakness. This was the best solution. The wild card would be Avery. He hoped he could convince her, too.

  “We’ll leave in an hour. Angel, give me half that before you come up.” James rose and headed out of the office to his apartment.

  Chapter Twenty-Four

  When James arrived back at the apartment Avery was sitting in the kitchen having coffee and toast. “How did the meeting go?” she inquired as he came and sat down at the table across from her.

  “Well Grant looked into the shares that we found and he was right, it’s a numbered company that, through an off-shore corporation, owns a property down in Florida. It’s close to where the town was that we found the safety deposit box in. Clay and I are going to leave shortly and scope out the place. I have Angel coming up to keep you company,” James explained

  “I think I should go, after all it’s my property at the end of the trail. I really don’t want Angel to have to keep me company. Why don’t you tell me what you’re not saying? Angel is going to be guarding me.” Avery knew James was not telling her everything.

  “What else did you find out about the property and my father?” Avery asked James as she put her half-eaten toast down.
