  CHAPTER NINE

  DAWN

  Once Dawn made it to the bed she figured she had two choices, throw Kane down and ride him or push him against the wall and crawl all over him like that big cliff he made her climb. The anxious little monster between her legs couldn’t decide. Why did she crave the man so much? This was her second time having sex but, she knew that she wanted to show Kane how much she craved his touch. She wanted a repeat of the explosive feelings she shared with only him.

  Kane lifted her up as if she weighed nothing and placed her onto the bed. “Stay right where you are darlin, I’m taking real good care of you tonight.” He said, there was edginess in his sexy drawl, similar to the growl of a predator advancing on his prey.

  A shiver skidded the length of her body. His growly sexy voice did unspeakable things to her insides. Heart, stomach, pussy all three pulsed and fluttered. Addictive, was her beast. She would never be the same. His voice made her cravings stronger, she had to have him.

  Kane reached under the bed and pulled out a flat black box. Dawn looked at the box and then up to him. What in the world was this? A tingle of fear nudged its way into her mind, but her heart reminded her that it was Kane.

  When Dawn lifted up onto her elbows tilting her head to the side, Kane chuckled. “No worries my beautiful one. This will be all pleasure, now lay back and enjoy.” Kane gently nudged her back onto the pillows.

  Dawn couldn’t drag her eyes away from his large hands as they left her shoulders and slowly traveled down her chest, stopping briefly to palm her breast through her sweater and stroke her beaded nipples with his thumbs.

  “Your breast are incredible.” He said, dragging lust filled eyes up to her face.

  Dawn pressed her thighs together to try and calm the throbbing ache between them. A slight uplift of Kane’s lips told her he knew what she was doing. Oh, he was good, damn good at setting her on fire and he knew it.

  Kane’s hands moved to her waist as if measuring it. He stroked her stomach next with lazy circles and then went down to her hips, all the while keeping steady watch of her face. He didn’t remove any clothing. He simply touched her with his hands, memorizing the feel of her body to his touch. Imprinting her form to his mind.

  Dawn’s breath caught. She squirmed under his hands. His touch teased and tempted. Dawn wanted to claw her clothes off, but that would mean moving from under Kane’s caress and she couldn’t make her body do that.

  “Do you know how beautiful you are to me? Dawn, I’m not talking about the outer shell that the world sees. I mean the woman inside. You’re the best person that I have had the honor of knowing, and knowing that you love me brings me to my knees baby.” Kane breathed the words before taking her lips and pulling her close.

  Dawn felt the sting of tears behind her eyes as she kissed Kane with all the love she felt in her bent and damaged heart. Her dad was the only person who loved her for who she was. Alex and Ann were her best friends. They gave her confidence when she was growing up, they gave her family. But Kane, he made her feel like a woman who was adored by a man. He found that dark and lonely place where the frightened Dawn dwelled and filled it with light and laughter. Dawn wondered if she could ever be worthy of such a man. He was amazing.

  Kane broke the kiss, picking up the black box. He removed two red velvet ribbons.

  “Do you trust me?” He asked.

  Dawn looked from the ribbons to his face, confused. “I trust you with my life, but…”

  Kane removed her sweater and bra with care, giving her nipples a quick nip. He tied one ribbon on each of her wrist then tied the ends of the ribbons to the low headboard of the bed.

  Dawn’s heart began to pound. Memories of the last time she was tied down swirled around in her head.

  “Kane?” She squeaked out of her tight throat. “The tying thing, we both got issues with and I’m uncomfortable with this.”

  “I got you baby. I’m going to give you some new memories to replace those bad ones, you can tie me next.” Kane told her as he removed her jeans and underwear, stalling one moment to take in the sight of her, then rose to stand at the foot of the bed.

  The thought of Kane bound for her pleasure made her tremors of fright morph into shivers of pleasure. If he was willing to try this, she would give it a go.

  “Be calm love.” Kane soothed. “Keep your eyes on me.”

  Dawn swung her eyes to him and followed his hands as he pulled his sweater up and off, revealing his expansive chest. So much perfect tan skin and rippling muscles had Dawn momentarily awestruck. She forgot about the restraints on her wrist.

  Kane Slowly, with his eyes latched on to hers, popped the button on his jeans and with an agonizing snail’s pace he slid his zipper down. Dawn could have sworn it took thirty minutes for him to get the damn thing all the way down, by then the anticipation was slicing through her body like hot blades.

  Kane peeled his jeans over his hips and down his thick thighs, stopping as he bent over to give her a wicked smile and scorching hot glare. Damn but this man was gorgeous. So devastating to look at she felt her body involuntarily strain from the mattress towards him. Her palms ached to touch his perfect form.

  “Kane, please?” Dawn begged, but she didn’t quite know what it was she wanted. Not true, she wanted him to get naked, and quickly. She wanted those thighs between hers, those hands all over her, his tongue scorching over her sensitive spots. Could a girl cum from a strip tease? She was dangerously close to finding out.

  Gray boxer briefs left nothing to the imagination. The large outline of his thick staff revealed as Kane stood upright. He hooked his thumbs in the top of the briefs and started to inch the garment down. He paused suddenly, right above the spot where all his goodies were so tightly packed.

  “Damn it Kane get your ass over here. Stop teasing.”

  Another low growl rumbled from his chest. Kane released his hair from its tie, his chocolate brown hair flowed across his shoulders thick and full. Remembering how soft it was, Dawn wanted to run her fingers through it once more.

  Kane busied himself removing the last article of clothing and sliding a condom on his jutting cock. He stood next to the bed. Dawn’s mouth went dry taking in all his masculine glory.

  “And you call me beauty.” Dawn breathed.

  “Thank you, love. Let’s play.” He climbed on the bed with black box in hand. Kane drew out a bottle of oil. “This will become warm as I massage it into your skin. I know you’ll like it.”

  Kane started at her chest, rubbing the oil into her skin. As he stroked and petted her skin started to tingle and heat up. Every pass of his fingers along her made Dawn squirm and bite her lip to keep from moaning. When Kane reached her breast, stroking and tweaking her nipples with the oil, Dawn couldn’t hold back the groans the crawled out of her throat. Her breast tingled and heat shot to her center.

  She was losing her mind as Kane worked his hands down her body sparking silken fire every place he touched. When he reached her cunt he paused to admire her. Her excitement was evident in the plump wetness of her entrance.

  “I can’t wait to taste you.”

  Dawn heard Kane moan before he stroked her with oil covered fingers. Up and over her clit in rapid circles. The pleasure was so intense she almost ripped the ribbons from the headboard as her body bowed. Kane kept working her clit with his fingers as he tasted between her legs thrusting his tongue into her. He alternated between sucking and flicking on her nub.

  Dawn felt every swipe of his tongue every pinch of his fingers so intensely. Not being able to touch him, knowing she could do nothing but lay there and take it. The pleasure washed her body in flame. She would never look at being tied up the same again. This hotter than hell, mind blowing encounter would pop into her mind instead of her time with Mac. Kane was healing her in every way.

  “Kane, Kane. Take me right now or so help me God I’m going to…” Dawn lost the ability to talk as Kane surged his powerful cock to the hilt inside her dri
pping core.

  “Beauty, you feel so damn good.” Kane groaned as his hips slammed into her.

  Dawn wanted desperately to grab hold of his hair, grip his madly pumping ass, or sink her nails into his straining back, but her bindings prohibited her from doing anything but feel. Every powerful thrust of his hips was a shaft of pleasure that consumed her fully. Her pussy gripped his thickness with every slick glide in and out of her.

  Kane worked her with deep penetrating thrust, riding her hard, placing kisses along her neck and face. He took her lips as her body stiffened and convulsed in ecstasy. Pulsating pleasure shook her. Dawn’s body locked tight as her climax claimed glorious victory over her straining body.

  Kane gave one final thrust, enclosing her within his arms and groaning out his release through their kiss straight into her.

  Kane held her quaking body for just a second before reaching up and untying her.

  “I didn’t think I would like having a woman bound, but damn that was hot.” Kane gasped out.

  Dawn came up onto her elbows, kissing his sweaty, salty chest. A devilish smile was plastered across Kane’s face, he watched her as she kissed and nibbled down his body. Her destination, his rapidly rising cock.

  “Your turn big beast. Now give me those ribbons.” She said, her lips inches away from his dick.

  “I don’t think so.” He shook his head, reaching under the bed once again. He pulled out his climbing rope.

  Holy hell was this going to be fun, she grabbed the rope with both hands.

  KANE

  Kane slowly ascended the stairs to his brother’s office with heavy feet. He didn’t look forward to the conversation he was about to have with David. Kane woke this morning to Dawn’s beautiful face and her warm luscious body curved around him. A killer was after them both, but he was happy. For the first time in his life he felt whole. Now was the time to talk to David about the abuse of his past. One less burden on his heart.

  David sat behind his desk, focusing on his computer in front of him. Noticing Kane, he held up one finger. “Be right with ya bro.”

  “Sure.” Kane sat on a plush chair next to the window, leaving a chair across from him for David.

  David settled into the open seat with a frown. “Whenever you sit here, you have some serious shit to tell me. Did Esteban find you again?”

  “No it’s not that.” Kane pulled in a lung full of air.

  “Dawn?”

  “She’s fine, downstairs with Allie.” Kane raked his fingers through his hair.

  “Whatever it is Kane, I’m here for you. It’s you and me against the world, remember?”

  Kane smiled. “It’s more like you, me, Allie, Dawn, Jordan, and Ace against the world.”

  “Yeah, our family of two has grown some. But that doesn’t mean I won’t rain hell down on a motherfucker dumb enough to fuck with my little bro.” David leaned back and folded his thick arms across his chest, slate gray eyes zeroing in on his brother. “Now talk.”

  Kane started telling him about how Pattie would drug him and the man that molested him. Kane left nothing out. As he gave every graphic detail of his abuse, David’s expression turned harder and harder.

  He explained how Pattie threatened that David would be kicked out of the Army if Kane told him. Kane told David how he suffered in silence because he knew that the future they planned was more important. By the time he finished and raised his head, David’s eyes swam with tears. They reminded Kane of stones in a clear pond.

  “First, tell me he’s dead.” David said, his voice low and frightening.

  “He is.”

  “Kane, I would in a heartbeat lay down my life for you.” He took a steading breath. “I understand why you kept this to yourself in the beginning, but all these years? Why didn’t you tell me before now?”

  Kane could feel the tension pulsing from his brother. David wanted to fight something, hurt someone for the pain Kane suffered, but he was holding it together.

  “Because you take everything on yourself. You would have felt guilty and blamed yourself. Then you would try and fix me. Destroy all the demons of my past. You are not responsible for what happened, you did what was best for both of us when you went into the service. We would not be where we are today if you hadn’t.” Kane needed him to understand.

  David nodded, reaching out touching Kane’s fisted hand.

  “I knew something happened to you when I was gone but I never imagined this. Bro, I’m so fucking sorry I left you to that.”

  “I know that. I’ve always known that. It was hell keeping it from you, but after a while it became a shameful dark thing I didn’t ever want you to know.” Kane turned his face toward the window.

  “I love you, man. I’ll fight that shit with you, anything you need from me you got it. That’s what brothers do.” David let out a long breath. “Why now? Why tell me now?”

  “Dawn. She’s shown me that I might have been victimized, but I’m not a victim. That’s why I’m telling you now. I don’t want to hold this secret from you another day. The past no longer has power over me or my future.” Kane stood, reaching out his hand to his brother.

  David rose, pulling Kane into a tight embrace. He leaned back holding Kane by the shoulders. “I’m proud you’re my brother, I’ve always been proud of you. Now. I’ve got a whole new respect for the man you’ve become.”

  “Yep, I’m amazing, that’s for damn sure.” Grinning, Kane strolled to the top of the stairs. “Now let’s go find our women.”

  Kane and David found Alex sitting in the living room playing with Jordan.

  “Where’s D?” Kane asked.

  “I haven’t seen her. I thought she was upstairs with you guys.” Alex said frowning.

  Kane shot off to Dawn’s bedroom.

  “Fuck me, she’s gone.” Kane shouted as he ran back in.

  The brothers rushed to the video surveillance of the entrance. It showed Dawn, carrying her backpack, running from the condo.

  Kane held up a scrap of paper he’d found on her bed. The note read: FIND MY IPHONE KANE.

  DAWN

  Dawn came awake, her head throbbed and her mouth was dry as a bone. She was stretched out on a narrow cot, so old it was barely standing. The sting of plastic ties squeezed tightly around her wrist. The room was dim and gloomy. Light from a street lamp struggled to shimmer through the lone window’s dirt encrusted glass.

  Squinting her eyes, Dawn could make out a card table and three chairs but if there was anything or anyone else in the room with her, she couldn’t say, everything beyond the table was in deep shadows. The place smelled dank and musty like a tome, and the sound of scurrying critters made her skin crawl.

  Dawn swung her legs over the side of the cot, thankfully her feet weren’t tied. She strained her eyes to see if she still had her backpack, but it wasn’t near her and she was too afraid to search the cold dark room.

  She wiggled her bottom on the cot to see if she could feel her iPhone in her back pocket.

  “Shit, shit, shit.”

  Of course they would have taken her phone, but hopefully they didn’t destroy it. The find my phone app would lead the McAdam’s straight to her.

  Fear was constricting her heart. She was brave when she came up with the plan to force Kane into finding her and thereby finding Esteban. But right now, she was having second and third thoughts. Maybe Kane was right all along. Esteban might not even be here. He could have sent his men to kill her instead. Her cell phone in all likelihood was crushed or thrown it out the car window. Kane wouldn’t have a clue in the world where she was.

  All her doubts one after the other flooded her mind. What if Kane did, by the grace of God, find her? He very well could be walking into a trap. She didn’t make stupid moves, being on the run taught a girl self-preservation real quick. But this wasn’t about her. Deep down in her heart she hoped Esteban would be satisfied with her and not go after Kane as he promised. She had to try and convince him. Kane McAdams was worth i
t.

  Dawn stood, but her legs felt unable to hold her weight and her head spun. Did they bash her head with something when they forced her into their van, everything was kinda foggy. But, the dryness of her mouth and thickness of her tongue told her they had used a sedative. She hadn’t fully recovered. Plopping back down to the cot, Dawn’s head did another nausea inducing spin. One second of rest and then she was finding a way out this dark hole. Hell yeah, she might be taken by Esteban but fuck it, she wasn’t going out without a fight.

  There was a squeaking of hinges as a door opened to her right. Dawn swiveled her head as a tall figure entered the room. The man stepped into the muted light and Dawn caught her breath. He was a middle aged man, with short dark hair, slightly graying all over. His body was fit and his skin richly tanned. His face was shockingly handsome to look at until you looked into his eyes. Those eyes, pitch black, identical to Mac’s.

  In a deeply accented voice he said. “Ah, Mac was right. You are an exotic beauty, by far the most lovely female we’ve possessed in a very long time.” He moved more fully into the weak light. “Please forgive me my dear, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Esteban Blanco.” He stepped closer, Dawn scooted back, body tense, ready to fight.

  “Now, now, my dear that look of fear mixed with aggression is delectable. You’ve spent time in the company of my son and enjoyed his special taste of entertainment. I can see by your eyes you remember your time with my son.” Esteban leaned in closer, his face inches from her. His smile was dark and Dawn could almost smell the malice intent pouring off him. “Mac was an angel compared to his papa.”

  Dawn sucked in a deep breath and squared her shoulders. “Ok devil, let’s make a deal.”

  Esteban cackled out a laugh. “The only thing you can do is lure that country bumpkin to me.”
