The four men jumped into Prince Felix’s bulletproof SUV and raced up the driveway and all four had their guns drawn as it skidded to a stop outside the main entrance. It looked like a scene from a bad cowboy film bodies were strewn around the driveway and slumped over the fence surrounding the decking that went all around the main house. It was a bloodbath, and Miguel’s men had not stood a chance, they were outnumbered by at least three to one and a dozen of them were knelt at the side of the house hands on their heads. They had quickly surrendered to Caleb’s and the Prince’s men when they realised they were fighting a losing battle, now the four men picked off a few of the Cartel still fighting until it went silent as Gino carried an unconscious Trina out of the door wrapped in a blanket. Caleb rushed forward to take her from his friend,‘Is she?’He asked hardly daring to breathe,‘She is alive, barely, her pulse is very faint and her breathing is light, we need to get her to a hosp
It was all she had ever wanted and she wrapped her arms around his neck when he bent his head to claim her lips, Felix gave a polite cough and she broke the kiss turning to look at him,‘Hello Felix.’She said smiling at him but not moving out of Caleb’s possessive arms,‘Es ist schön zu sehen, dass Sie sich erholen, Contessa, wenn es Ihnen nichts ausmacht, würde ich gerne unter vier Augen mit Ihnen sprechen.’ [It is good to see you are recovering Contessa, if you do not mind I would like a word with you in private.]He forgot that Caleb spoke fluent German and he glared at the Prince,‘Alles, was du zu Trina sagen willst, kannst du vor mir sagen.’ [Anything you want to say to Trina you can say in front of me.]He growled at him and Trina giggled,‘Down boy, it’s okay, let me talk to my cousin, it’s not as if I can run away from you again is it?’She lifted her arm which was attached to a drip grinning at him and he conceded gracefully kissing the top of her head he headed out of the
It was his number two who had taken it upon himself to spank her whenever she disobeyed them, he had known Miguel would kill him if he raped her so he got his kicks in another way. He had been very rough, his large hand had hurt like hell but she never cried, or even struggled. She knew that she was helpless he was far too strong for her and held her pinned down on his knee, so she had lain still showing no emotion which had only angered him more. Instead of the twenty he had told her she was getting he had given her forty, and then the next time fifty and finally sixty and that was when she had blacked out. She had come round on the tiny bed in the empty room they kept her in, he had tied her wrists and ankles with a rope leaving her unable to move. When agonising cramp had set in her screams had gone unheard and she had lost consciousness again. That was how Gino had found her, he had quickly untied her but that had only caused her more agony as the blood rushed back into them. Non
It took him grabbing her shoulders and shaking her awake before she finally recognised him,‘Baby girl, it’s me, you are safe.’He whispered as she collapsed into his arms trembling and crying, it happened again the next night, and the next and the next, Trina was exhausted, he was exhausted and he decided she needed help. Nothing he had done had helped her, every single time he had to shake her until she woke up and then hold her while she cried. Trina did not want to see the Psychiatrist Caleb found for her, she was suffering from PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] is a mental health condition caused by an extremely stressful or terrifying event so that every time she closed her eyes to try to sleep she was back in the clutches of the monster and his men.‘I don’t need this, I’ll be fine, I just need a little more time.’She said glaring at Caleb, who in turn shook his head,‘No Trina, you are seeing him if I have to carry you to his fucking offices, I’m tired and I need my sleep
Nothing was familiar, she was on the outskirts of a city, whose name she did not know and there was little to no shelter and she began to shiver with the cold and with the fear of the unknown. Somehow she staggered to a nearby tree and clung to its firm trunk as the winds picked up and buffeted her from every direction. Dawn was trying to break through and the sky was turning from inky black to steel grey and the heavy clouds in the distance began to drift lower and lower.Max, Toby, Aaron and Kate were all university students studying Meteorology, the study of the atmosphere, like the climate and the weather and in particular Paleotempestology, the estimation of cyclone activity using proxy data. They had been chasing this storm for hours and were delighted it finally looked like it was turning into something they could use for their studies.‘Looks like it’ll hit the ground real soon.’Toby stated excitedly from his laptop,‘Got a lot of data coming in.’Kate grabbed the binoculars
He grinned at her handing her a mug of hot chocolate topped with swirls of cream and marshmallows with a chocolate flake balanced in it, she took a sip and it was so delicious she wrapped both her hands around the mug and took another large gulp gasping as it burned her mouth. When she looked up Max smiled broadly she had a blob of cream on her nose and he wiped it off and then licked his finger. It was such an intimate gesture it made her blush again and she lowered her eyes to hide her embarrassment she asked,‘Who are you people?’‘I’m Max Trippier, this is Kate Fellows, Toby Delite and Aaron Blackier, we all attend Tarleton State University, and we’re all studying Meteorology/Paleotempestology.’At her blank look, he added,‘We’re storm chasers, we follow the storms hoping for a touchdown and a Twister.’Her eyes grew wide,‘OMG, you chase those things?’Max chuckled,‘Yes, they are dangerous when they get big but for the most part, the smaller ones will cause a little structural
Kate jumped in first,‘Where in the UK are you from?’She asked eagerly and Trina smiled she knew what was coming,‘I’m from a small village near Manchester. I grew up there but went away to boarding school when I was eight.’The other woman gasped in shock,‘You went to Boarding School at the age of eight?’Trina raised an eyebrow,‘Well, yes of course I did, my parents went to boarding school, their parents went to boarding school, it’s what their class have always done. I mean my father went to school with the new King, they met at Gordonstoun and remained friends until his death.’Kate and the others sat open-mouthed in shock,‘You met the King of England?’Kate squeaked and Trina laughed,‘Well, he wasn’t the King at the time but yes as a young child my parents socialised with the then Prince of Wales and I met him and other members of the family on numerous occasions. He is my Godfather as he was Papa’s best friend when I was born.’Kate was beside herself with delight,‘OMG! Y
‘I want you baby, and I’m going to take you, if you don’t want that you have to tell me now. I’m only human and I won’t be able to stop once I’ve tasted you.’The image of Caleb, patiently caring for her through her dreadful nightmares, the worry and concern on his beautiful face flashed before her eyes,‘What the fuck am I doing?’She thought angry with herself he must be worried out of his mind wondering where the hell she was and what was she doing.‘What a whore I am.’Max saw her face crumble at the realisation of what she was about to do and his heart sank she belonged to someone else.‘Of course she did.’He scolded himself stepping back from the bed,‘Someone as stunningly beautiful as her must have an equally gorgeous man in the background.’Trina sat up and then jumped off the bed,‘Oh God, I’m so sorry Max, I don’t know what I was thinking, I’m sorry.’She fled from the room startling the others as she stumbled away from him wrapping the bathrobe around her tightly,‘Please
He left her sleeping the next morning and returned to his office to spend the day on long calls and Zoom meetings smiling whenever he had a minute to remember the fun of the previous night and the promise he had made he was not to know his Mother had other plans.Trina was startled awake when their bedroom door was slammed open and her future Mother in Law walked in flanked by the Twins and two of her most trusted servants,‘Get up bitch, you will do as I say from now on or the Twins will enjoy you but not in the nice way they have been doing. They will do to you every disgusting hurtful fantasy they have ever considered and trust me these two make the Marquis de Sade look like an angel. When they have finished brutalising you and breaking you in they will take you to be sold at the sex auction. My Son thinks I am naive that I don’t know the kinds of things he deals in but he is about to find out who is the boss especially when I show him the video they will be making. I doubt he will
In the end, he had her committed to a secure mental institution making sure she had no prospect of parole and she would live out the remaining years of her life a bitter twisted, very lonely woman. He had rewarded his sisters by giving them back their old Chateau and an allowance but they were under no illusion if they stepped out of line again he would leave them to rot like their mother without a single penny to their names. He had them watched but they had nothing to do with his family and lived reclusive lives away from the world they had known.Their beautiful little daughter was born on a warm Spring evening in May, just as the sky turned a myriad of stunning colours as the sun set over the horizon dipping into the sea. It had been such an amazing sight they had both instantly agreed their baby would be called Skylar in honour of such beauty. Lucas loved being a big brother and they had settled into a peaceful routine, both worked long hard hours during the week but neither work
Lucas tenderly wiped the tear away,‘S’il te plaît, ne pleure pas maman, si tu vas mieux maintenant, nous pouvons jouer et nous amuser.’ [Please don’t cry Mama, if you are better now, we can play and have fun.]He smiled so warm and full of love, so forgiving and all the barriers she had surrounding her heart shattered into a million pieces and she held out her arms.‘My son.’She whispered letting her maternal instincts flood her soul and Lucas did not hesitate to jump off the ledge with a giggle he wrapped his small arms around her neck.‘Mama, Mama.’He shouted exuberantly as she planted loving kisses all over his face, tears of love running down her cheeks as she set him back on the ledge and climbed nimbly up beside him,‘Faites la course jusqu’au toboggan.’ [Race you to the slide.]She whispered into his ear and Lucas squealed with delight before racing off toward it with her close on his heels, the Nanny, who had watched the whole exchange with baited breath, quickly pulled out
It had been hard for him to confess his part in what had happened, it had reduced him to tears and he had begged her forgiveness telling her he would spend the rest of his life making up for his mistakes. She hadn’t been able to forgive him fully, to many people she had thought loved her had betrayed her and she had retreated into herself. Caleb had reluctantly accepted he needed to give her space so he threw himself into his work and let her come to him. He could only watch in helpless pain when she turned only to Gino, trusting and confiding only in him and his wife. His number two worked hard to get her to believe in Caleb again he got her to let him start afresh agreeing to go out on a few dates so his Boss could try to rebuild their relationship. He walked on ice around her, knowing that if he made one wrong move he would lose her forever and he could not have borne that. It had taken her accidentally eavesdropping on a conversation between the two men to melt the ice that encase
‘She’s right Luke, you have to let her go, she beat you fair and square and if you don’t follow our rules then I will also go to your Commanding Officer. I will give him our file containing all your deepest, dark secrets, I am quite sure it will be an interesting read for him.’The Club kept records of all its members, it had a list of every girl they used and what they ‘enjoyed’ the most ostensibly so they could provide a more personal service to the super-rich men who expected everything to be perfect for them. It worked wonderfully well, the men were rarely disappointed with the services they were given and it had never dawned on them that the information they had given would be used against them. Luke grimaced and his anger flared,‘Lucian, you will control your woman, how dare she speak to me in such a fashion. She will be publicly whipped tonight along with her friend for this show of disobedience.’Lucian put his arm around Jess,‘No, Luke, I won’t let you touch her because eve
He pushed her back onto the bed and pinned her with his body kissing her harder and demanding she respond to him in the most basic of ways, she put up no resistance but when his hands began to roam over her body stroking her intimately she could not prevent it responding to his touch.‘Oh, my little tigress just look at how your luscious body reacts to me.’His smug grin burned her soul and she wanted to scream her protests as he spread her legs wider and pushed two fingers inside her,‘No, no.’She cried out but it was too late with one swift movement his dripping fingers were replaced by his engorged, rock-hard cock and she came alive her hands clawing at his back as her fight or flight instinct kicked in,‘Get off me you fucking animal.’He grunted as he felt the sting of her nails raking down his back she struggled beneath him but it only aroused him further,‘That’s better little tigress fight me, come on use your sharp claws I’m still going to tame you.’Trina was wild with ange
The Police Officer looked at the Doctor and then the three men looked at her,‘That will not be possible, your friends warned us of your delusions regarding the Playboy Billionaire and that you will insist you are married to him. We are going to take you back to your friends or you will be committed to the Mental Health Unit here at the hospital for an assessment the choice is yours, Miss.’Trina sank back against her pillows, they had her trapped, these Americans would believe their own over a hysterical British woman all she could do was go back to Jess and Lucian’s ranch if she was committed to the hospital she would never escape.She dressed in the clothes provided for her and let the Officers lead her out to their car, she had been given a clean bill of health whatever had made her faint was not serious and the hospital had not found any reason to keep her in. The two Officers flanked her as she walked up to the ranch door and it was flung open by Jess,‘Oh God Trina, thank goodn
Jess tried to placate her holding out her hands palms up in the universal sigh of peace,‘Please Trina, put the sword down, we don’t want anyone getting hurt, I’ll call you a cab, there is a hotel in town we will get you a room there and talk this through in the morning.’‘I’m done with talking to any of you.’She snarled back at her friend,‘I never want to see any of you again, don’t you dare try to contact me.’She moved along the wall her eyes never leaving the people in the room as she inched toward the door,‘Stop overreacting Katrina, you have been spanked before.’Luke drawled and was pleased when her pale face flushed at his revelation to the room, ‘Now, put that down, apologise to your friends and come with me this has gone far enough.’Trina felt sick, the room was going in and out of focus, black spots appeared in the corner of her vision and her chest grew tight she was finding it difficult to breathe she had to get out of this place. Luke moved toward her again and her
As they watched Luke bent his head and said something to her and her eyes flashed and she shook her head, he repeated it and she still shook her head pushing him away she got to her feet. Every head turned as he followed her catching her wrist before she got out of the door he pulled her back into his arms and kissed her hard she resisted for a second before melting against him and kissing him back. Then she squealed as he tossed her over his shoulder and carried her out of the room to the cheers and wolf whistles of his friends. Trina though was not amused as soon as the door swung shut behind them she fought him,‘Put me down you fucking Neanderthal.’She clenched her fists and hit his back ineffectively, his hard-muscled body barely feeling them,‘Let me go.’She kicked out and he responded with a hard slap to her ass,‘Keep still you little madam, I have no intention of dropping you and I’ll put you down when I am good and ready.’She yelped as his hand came down hard on her ass a
