RAINAThe words come out fast along with my frustration.I know Rex isn’t at fault, but the way my body craves him, the way his face never leaves my mind, the way I want to feel his mouth kiss every part of me… I want to go with him, but I don’t want it to be out of this sense of danger. I want to go with Rex because he wants me—just me.He takes a few steps toward me until I press against the wall beside my dresser. His arms cage me in.“Be careful, little girl. We don’t have time to open those floodgates. Get a bag together while I run out to grab a few things. We can head up to my cabin for a few days until we hear from Owen or the officers he’s working with.”Rex means business and won’t take no for an answer. I have to take this seriously, but there’s a part of me that knows Owen will take care of this and everything will be back to normal in a day or two. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.“Okay. I’ll get my stuff together.”Rex nods with approval, dipping his head to kiss me
“I was trying to protect you, to protect your innocence, your purity. It shouldn’t go to anyone else but me,” he reveals. However, the wideness of Drew’s eyes let me know he didn’t mean to say as much. His desires are speaking louder than logic.Anxiety ignites, and now I really want him to leave. “It’s not going to happen, Drew.”“Raina, Raina, Raina,” he says over and over again, barely above a whisper. “Please.”“Leave Drew. Now,” I tell him again, trying to make my voice deeper than it is. Drew needs to take me seriously.“I think the lady asked you to leave,” Rex’s voice booms from somewhere in the lobby.The color drains from Drew’s face as he takes a step back from my door. Rex walks toward me with a tray of coffee in his hand and a bag of food in the other. He hands it to me before turning to face Drew, who’s trying to slink away.Rex grabs him by the shoulder and yanks him back to the doorway. “I need you to promise Raina that you’ll never speak to her again right after you a
REXThere’s an ease that washes over me when I’m with Raina. I can’t deny it. We’re in a rhythm every time we get around one another. She doesn’t flinch or turn away when I tell her to let me take care of her, when I hint at her calling me Daddy.“Is that what you want to do, Daddy?” she asks with a shy grin. Her voice is low and I want to kiss her until she understands that’s all I want to do. We fall into that familiar rhythm, but now it’s far more intimate than it used to be.I reinforce what I need her to know. “That’s what I’mgoingto do. Once you’ve finished your breakfast, we can make a few stops before we get out of town.”I pull out my phone and send out a few messages to make sure everyone at the firm knows I’ll be out for a few days. My next call is to my locksmith friend. We haven’t spoken in a while, but I know he hasn’t moved. He picks up on the first ring and tells me he can have everything I need delivered to Raina’s address within the hour.With that in place, I head i
The minute he sees me, his face falls and he takes a step away from the pile of boxes.“There’s only one delivery here for Raina,” he says with his eyes darting from me to the floor. The tremble in his voice and hands as he reaches for the package tells me that I don’t need to have another conversation about respecting Raina’s boundaries.“Thank you,” I tell him as he hands me the box.Raina walks directly to her apartment, ignoring Drew to his disappointment. After one last look at him, I follow Raina inside. There isn’t much time to lose as I open the package from the locksmith and get the equipment out. There are six cameras and nearly a dozen motion sensors.The instructions are simple as I tell Raina where to place the motion sensors while I install the cameras. It doesn’t take long for us to set everything up and link it to an app on her phone.“We have to stop at my place before we head to the cabin. I’ll try to get a hold of Owen while we’re there and see if there’s an update
RAINAThe murmurings of Rex speaking to someone on his doorstep have my nerves firing on all cylinders. I can hear bits and pieces of the discussion until the sound of heavy footsteps comes close to the car. My heart races, wondering if the stranger is about to find me.It’s only after Rex opens the passenger door that I can get out of the car. His hand wraps around mine, easing the anxiety racing through my body. He helps steady me as I stand up with his gaze scouring up and down the street. The stranger standing on his doorstep is nowhere in sight. I stare at Rex, hoping he doesn’t see the fear and worry in my eyes.“You’re safe with me, Raina,” he says. Apparently, I’m easier to read than I realize. It doesn’t make sense to keep on a brave face as the severity of what Owen’s gotten us into weighs on me. Rex grips me by the chin, forcing me to look into his eyes as he tells me, “What did I say?”A ripple of lust courses through me as his gaze burrows into the depths of my eyes so I
REXThe words off Raina’s lips make me want to stay in the house with her, but there’s a lot to do if we’re going to stay in Colwood. I give her one more kiss. It’s quick and leaves us wanting more, but I leave her alone in the bedroom.It only takes about 15 minutes for me to make my way around the house and property lines. There are few homes on this side of town since it leads away from the town’s center. A ranch is located across the street but the house is at least five minutes away from the main road.The property next to mine has at least half an acre of grass between our houses. The open space is one of the reasons I put in the motion detectors. Criminals, animals, and vagabonds just passing through are the types I’d like to know are on my property before seeing them.After checking the security system, I head to the garage where there’s a cabinet for my guns—well, the larger ones. There are a few others in a gun safe near my bed. I like to be prepared.My phone rings with a n
There’s an array of cubicles set up for the paralegals, staff, and other administrative positions that help our firm run as smoothly as possible. Most of those cubicles are still in the same condition they’re always in. There are two, closest to the desk outside of my office, that have the contents from their desks and drawers scattered about.The door to my office is wide open, which isn’t how I left it. When I walk inside, there are only a few dozen sheets of paper on my desk.“I think that whoever broke into the office was looking for something your partner is in possession of. Having realized this wasn’t Mr. Olsen’s office, they left things mostly intact.”I let out a sigh, staring around the room I usually spend about 60 hours a week working in. These past two days with Raina make me reevaluate how much time I spend here. I don’t want to be slaving over client documents while she’s at home washing that naked body of hers and I’m not there to lick her dry.“Mr. Remington?” Detecti
RAINAThe lyrics to a song repeat over and over in my head as I sink into the heat of the warm tub. Comfort soothes me as the tune plays from my phone. There’s a brief interruption when Rex sends me a message that he’s on his way back home.Home.This is home for me and I don’t want that feeling to change. This day has been long and relaxing in this deep tub, water up to my shoulders is exactly what I need.I wonder what it will be like to give myself to him. The more I think about it, the more my fantasies feel real. My hands travel up my torso until they reach my breasts. I can picture Rex showering me with kisses, touching me everywhere, and rubbing my nipples.My fingers brush over my hardening nipples, squeezing them before they travel down to the center between my legs. I’m hesitant to touch myself, unsure of what to do, and when I hear Rex come into the house, taking his time to walk up the stairs, I put my hand along the edge of the tub. It feels wrong to touch myself without
