Lindsey “Come in” I call out. I sent Angie and Anton away, my lunch had already been interrupted enough today and now I was so irritated I couldn’t eat. “Are your friends gone already?” I continue looking at my desk taking a deep breath. As much as I want to stay mad, I have to remember this is new for him too. I pinched the bridge of my nose before slowly looking up to answer him. “I lost my appetite and decided if I was going to keep being interrupted I would just reschedule for a time when I can actually sit here and enjoy time with my friends.” I looked back down at the schedule Brandon printed for me. “ Brandon set us up for tomorrow at your Grandfather's favorite restaurant. He’s my next call, un

Lindsey “This might be a bad idea, being stuck in the elevator together.” Reece murmurs in my ear, his hot breath fanning across my neck causing more goosebumps to rush across my skin. I didn’t suppress the shudder that rocked through me this time. I slid my hands from his very well defined abs, around to his sides. I grip his shirt like my life depends on it. “It’s not fair,” I let out a breathy whine. “You know how to throw me off and make my brain mush and my legs all wobbly.” I chuckle low, letting out a slow breath and cross my legs as my core begins to throb with his closeness. “Are you serious? You have had me off kilter and distracted since the day I met you.” He slides his hands down to my butt and squeezes as he says, “I told you, you are a goddess and you

LindseyReece grips my waist tighter and I see a flash of anger cross his eyes. Like the playful boy I noticed in him earlier, this is a look I have never seen and I don’t think I ever want to again. This is the ruthless Reece that Ralph was telling me about. The one who is a force in negotiations and he rarely if ever loses. “Dominique, what are you doing here?” He says in a strangely fake calm voice. This was Dominique? The woman his grandfather compared me to not more than a couple hours ago. This is the woman his grandfather wants him to marry. I can feel my heart sinking and my stomach feels sick. I have to hold it together. I have never let anyone make me feel bad about myself, but the thought of Reece with this woman is making me physically ill. I hadn’t realized how attached I had become to him in just a week. “I was invited silly, to come and see you and learn more about this whole business thing since we will be running it together soon.” She said in a s

LindseyI get about two flights down without looking too ridiculous, but my discomfort must have shown. Reece came up behind me and scooped me up in a bridal carry like I weighed nothing at all. “We still have eight more floors, you do not have to carry me.” I say as I wrap my arms tightly around his neck trying to support some of my own body weight. “I do have to carry you. You are clearly in pain and you have a gala and wedding in the next two days. You are going to need these beautiful feet to dance with me and to walk down that very long aisle.” He laughs and nuzzles into my neck. I can feel my stomach start to flutter again. “Besides, I am probably in debt to you after that meeting. You were able to convince four of the six guys to change points in their business that I have been trying to do for years. I might actually make a bigger profit next week than I have in the last year. I bet that even Mr. Eyler and my grandfather will make the changes you suggested, ev

Reece I left Lindsey in the bedroom to relax and change. I went into the kitchen to order tacos. I really did just want to spend time with her, to keep getting to know her. With the exception of my grandfather and the Eyler’s today was actually a lot of fun. I got to see Lindsey in another light and I really enjoyed myself. Just as I was getting off the phone, I heard the front door open and then close, which is strange because James and Brandon were given specific instructions to be scarce tonight. I walk towards the door wanting to stop whoever it was from getting very far. I promised Lindsey a night in for just the two of us and I wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of that. “What the f**k? What are you doing in my home?” I stopped dead in my tracks. This couldn’t be

Reece I feel small warm hands on my cheeks. “Where are you right now?” She asks in a small voice. Her concern for me broke her out of whatever trance she was in. I turn my eyes on her and without speaking grab her waist and pull her onto my lap so she is straddling me. I wrap my arms around her and bury my face in her neck. She places her arms gently around my neck and begins to stroke my hair. “Please don’t leave.” I say, tears forming behind my eyes. I sit up straighter and pull her as close as she can be to me, tightening my grip around her waist. I am looking her right in the eyes, trying to convey how serious I am about this. “I don’t know what I would do if you left.” A tear fell as I said it and she cupped my face again and kissed the spot on my cheek where the tear fell. “Why would I go anywhe

Reece “Thank you for telling me, that explains a lot.” She chuckles and I smile at the feel of the vibration in her chest. “Can I tell you something? I feel like you will understand better than I thought.” “You can tell me anything, love.”I sit up and look into her eyes. I decided I am just going to go for it and see how this plays out. I brush a strand of hair off her face and she is chewing on her lip, like she is trying to decide what she wants to tell me. I rub my thumb over her lips. “The only person who gets to chew on these lips is me.” I smile at her and lean forward to press my lips to hers. It feels like forever since I kissed her last, when it’s only been a couple hours. I pull back from her and look her in the eyes “Tell me.” “Well you’re not the only one who was cheated on and you aren’t the only one who was sought after for their money. I guess we have both been wary of relationships for the same reason. Neither of us wanted to be trapped by someone loo

***Mature Content*** Reece The higher my hands move the more violent her goosebumps are and I can’t help but smile. I leave one hand firmly planted on her ass and move the other to the front of her thigh gently gliding it down to her knee, then I drag my thumb up her inner thigh, like in the car earlier. I hear a sharp intake of breath as I reach the brown curls at her apex. I let my thumb barely disturb them before letting my hand travel back over her thigh and up to her hip. I look up at her to make sure she is still alright. Her breathing is heavier and her n**ples are trying to poke through the fabric now. I can feel my d**k strain against my pants at the sight. I lean forward to place a kiss on her thigh and she whimpers and her knees give a little. She grabs for the back of my head to support herself.

Sold to Him. 70 - Epilogue
Epilogue Lindsey Well Reece was true to his word and has kept me barefoot and pregnant for the better part of 3 years. He was intrigued by the idea of practicing to make babies and took his job very seriously, and so did his DNA. When I am done with this pregnancy I will be 21, almost 22 and have 5 kids under the age of three because fate seems to like to mess with me and I was blessed with two sets of twins. Angie is convinced that our oldest, Carter, would have been a twin or was probably a twin, but due to all of the trauma he was my miracle baby. The thought makes me laugh and also makes me sad that I might have had complications we knew nothing about. He was what helped me get through the worst of the healing from my time in captivity with Vaughn Benedict. Although I wasn’t harmed much, the memory of the isolation and waking up alone still haunts me and Old Man Raines’ death gives me nightmares. The dreams seem to be more vivid as I get further along in my pregnancies too. Reec

Reece “What if the baby is yours?” Angie pulls up a chair and sits so we are almost at eye level and cocks her eyebrow at me. “I’m really not sure how, we never talked about kids and were always careful. I was always careful with her.” “Always?” She has this sarcastic tone that tells me she knows more about my sex life with Lindsey than I do. “As far as I know, we only had one time that I didn’t wrap it up.” “So, what you’re telling me is you need to get off your doomsday mind track and wait to hear from the doctors and talk to Lindsey. It only takes one time, genius.” She looks like she wants to smack me upside the head. And she’s seriously considering it. I really need her to stop pushing my buttons right now. “But when you do go in and talk to your wife, and my best friend, you will do it calmly and respectfully. Because I will beat your ass if you hurt her with your accusations after everything she just went through. Like you said you only had contact with her twice while she

Lindsey What the f*ck? Cousin? I am stunned and have nothing to respond to that revelation. “We have a deal.” Benedict says after I sign the documentation with all of my stipulations written in and initialed by both of us. “Come get your girl cuz, we just opened up the IP address for you to search. Although, I wouldn’t mind a bit more alone time with her, seeing as you’ve been with mine, it’s only fair.” He laughs at Reece’s look of pure fury as he touches my face again. This time I did pull away and gave him my most murderous look. He better not come anywhere near me, the sleezeball. Dominique looked offended at the exchange, but what can she expect, this douchebag thinks he has everything. What he doesn’t realize is I didn’t sign everything and I used his inability to keep his hands off Dominique to my advantage while his lawyers and I handled the paperwork. And his lawyers really aren’t that smart or they straight up let me get away with signing my maiden name and ‘under duress’.

Lindsey As I am being escorted down to meet with, I assume Benedict, I make a decision. I believe I am going to die here no matter what I do, so I need to think through what is going to happen to everyone that depends on us. “You look positively radiant today” Benedict sneers from the table as I walk in. What the hell does that mean? Does he know about me being pregnant? I should assume no one here is on my side and figure he knows, but is probably playing me to see if I confirm his suspicions or what doctor Beth told him. I hate not having information. And where the hell is Dominique? “That’s the result of being fed for the first time in days, I guess.” I try to keep my smartass remark to a minimum, but I also want to see if he will let anything slip as well. We can both play this game. “How can I help you today Mr. Benedict?” I try to let as much sarcasm lace my sugar sweet tone. “You know what I want, and I will have it today.” He gestures for me to sit across from him.

Lindsey HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! I can’t move and I’m barely breathing. I think I’m in shock. I sit there staring at the screen, I know Reece is still in front of me, but I’m not really seeing him, not anymore. Someone shot a gun right behind me and a thump tells me someone was hit. The gunshot came out of nowhere. There were no threats made, we were just having a conversation. Although, I was trying to stall for enough time for Reece and Max to hopefully get closer to figuring out where we are. The old man was just whimpering like the weak little man he truly is, was. How he ever ran a company like Raines Corporation is beyond me. He was a great actor I guess. I really should feel bad for him, but I am just scared for myself now. They aren’t going to hesitate to do what is needed to get what they want now, and they just proved it. “Every time we all meet and this isn’t resolved, someone else loses the privilege to go home.” Benedict says from somewhere near me.

Reece “Reece.” Her breathy little whisper is all my heart needed to jumpstart and start racing like it was trying to jump out of my chest. “Lindsey, baby.” That's all I can get out. I just stare at her beautiful face. She’s thinner, her cheeks are sunken in and her hair is dull and flat, but she’s alive. I can feel my heart beating wildly in my chest like it trying to jump out and get to her. There is so much I want to say, so much I need to say. We talked about what to do once we were able to get her on, but I just froze, my mind seizing up completely at the sight of her sitting there. “First things first, Mr. Raines. We have made contact as requested, you see your wife is unharmed, now we want the documents signed and you can have her back within the next 24 hours.” A deep voice off camera instructs. Lindsey looks down and if I wasn’t staring at her so intently I would have missed the slight head shake she gave me. She’s telling me not to agree, but what the hell else am

Reece We are now going on a month of Lindsey missing. We have been tracking Eyler for a few weeks and Conrad is building a case against him, just on his activities here. Thank God Eyler doesn’t look too closely at his phone. I do know that they are trying to turn people he has contact with into informants, but it all takes time. I did receive a proof of life photo about a week and a half ago, but that is all I have heard. It was of Lindsey sleeping. She at least looked peaceful, but I could only see her face, the covers pulled all the way up to her chin. I don’t know if she’s actually sleeping or knocked out. I can’t see if she’s injured or harmed in any way, but it’s the only thing I have of her right now. I have the photo in my wallet and pull it out every chance I get. I have actually started talking to her photo. Telling her it’s going to be alright and we are coming for her, that I am coming for her. I have started asking her what she would do when I come across a situ

Reece The elevator to the top floor seems like it is taking forever. I just want to get this over with and clear up all of the misconceptions that have been going around for the last decade in my business. When the bell chimes as we hit our floor, Max and I walk out full of angered purpose. I am doing a full house cleaning, but I also need to know if any of these guys have information on Lindsey’s whereabouts. I trust no one outside of Max, Brandon, Angie and Anton. I feel like all of them have had some part in this for their own gain and Eyler and the old man were just crazy enough to take it this far. “Down to business gentlemen.” I say sitting at the head of the table. Max to my right. All of the guys look paler and more ragged than usual. Being cut-off doesn’t suit many of them. Only Reg seems to have been able to maintain his usual lifestyle. Good, I think to myself. They know I mean business now and won’t be complacent any longer. “I’m glad your investigations are ov

Lindsey “What are you going to say to Benedict? We need to have the same or at least a similar story as to why I am here. I still have to figure out what he wants exactly. I don’t believe he would put this much effort into taking over a company. From what I have heard he’s more likely to kill the person in his way and replace them with his own people. What’s he playing at?” “With your current condition and the test I have run, I can easily claim you are diabetic. Similar signs and symptoms and necessities to control it as your pregnancy. Like food and vitamin regulation, also lowering your stress levels.” “Okay, I guess that works. I don;t know anything about the condition though.” “That will work in our favor. I can keep regular, daily checks on you, which is what I would do with an actual newly diagnosed patient here.” “What about me?” Dominique almost whines. “Is he going to try and keep us separate? I’m pretty sure she is the only reason I am still alive right now
