The Bailey Brothers Box Set- the Complete Trilogy
Page 32
Next, his fingers were hooked into her panties and he didn’t wait for permission when he yanked them down. They were discarded along with the other items of clothing as he took in the sight. She could feel the heat of his breath warming her most sensitive of areas. He carefully brushed the tip of his thumb against her nub and she almost came at the touch. She hadn’t realized just how aroused she was, until that moment, and the sharp intake of breath was all that was needed, to bring a confident smirk to his face.
“Before we go ahead with anything, there is something we should discuss. You know I have slept around a lot, but what you don’t know is that I am always safe. I learned my lesson from the miscarriage and I would never want to risk anything. I may like to have fun, but I would rather have safe fun. I would like to be more open with you, however. We have been so open with one another tonight, I want to share the experience with you. Do you mind me asking?”
She didn’t know whether to laugh or be surprised and instead answered with truth, “I have only really been with one other man in my life and after I found out he was cheating, I got myself tested. I’m all clear and haven’t been with anyone else since. I would like to share the experience with you tonight.”
The smirk returned to Red’s face, “Then sit back, relax and let’s begin.”
Rachel was about to ask what he meant when his mouth pressed down around her outer lips. His breath was hot against her skin as his tongue swirled around her clit. Her breathing intensified when he inserted two fingers and started pushing in and out. She could feel herself get wetter by the second, but could not distinguish whether it was caused by his saliva or her own juices. His tempo increased and soon her feet were curled up on his shoulders as his mouth continued to work wonders down below. He added two more fingers to the mixture and she screamed out as he pushed into her, his tongue lapping up the spillage. Her head was starting to get dizzy when she could contain it no more and she screamed out as the orgasm ripped through her. Waves upon waves crashed down upon her and her legs twitched uncontrollably. When she reopened her eyes she was surprised to see him standing there, a smile plastered over his face.
“What?” she could barely gasp the word out from in between her breaths.
“We’re not done yet.”
Shocked, she let him throw her over his shoulder as he marched her through the house and into his bedroom. She barely managed to take in her surroundings when she was flung onto the bed. Her body bounced on the mattress before he was on her, his body weight pressing onto her fragile body. When he kissed her she could taste herself, but it only made her wilder with lust. She could feel his erection throbbing at his jeans as he leaned into her, pressing his bulge against her.
“Turn over.”
Usually she would question the command, but in that moment she was willing to do anything this beast of a man was saying. She just wanted him in her. As she got onto all fours, she could feel a trickle of liquid slip down the side of her leg. Clearly, she was more excited that she had originally thought. She could hear him removing his clothes behind her, the unzipping of his jeans and the ruffling of material. Next she could feel his arms around the base of her ankles as he pulled her back. She shuffled down to the end of the bed, so her feet were dangling off and her ass stuck up. His hand caressed the curve when he positioned himself behind her. She could feel the tip of his cock press up against her soaking lips as he readied himself. With a grunt, he buried himself within her, the girth filling her hole. She welcomed the painful sensation as he slowly burrowed himself deeper until he was completely in. At this angle he had full control and he started thrusting in and out. She moaned as his hand gripped into her hair and pulled her head back, so she was looking directly at the wall. He took her like a horse, occasionally spanking her left cheek as the pounding intensified. She could feel herself build up once more and she soon reached her climax. Every fiber of her quaked within, waiting for release as his groaning intensified. She moaned alongside him until their sounds had taken over the room in a sweet symphony of love-making. His thighs slapped against her cheeks as the speed built up and within a split second she was screaming out as her orgasm burst forth. A moment later he was slumped over her back, clutching onto her shoulders and shuddering out a flooding of cum. The semen overflowed and dripped down the inside of her thighs, but she couldn’t care. They both collapsed in a sweaty mess onto the sheets and lay there, still clinging to one another. When their breath finally caught up with them, he rolled off of her and she flipped over, so she was cradled in the crook of his arm. She yanked the sheets, so it just about covered their nudity as they lay silent in the bed, reveling in the moment.
Everything is perfect.
Suddenly, there was a shout at the doorway and they both spun around in unison, clutching at the sheets. Rachel’s mouth dropped as she caught sight of Pearl, Joe and what could only be another one of the Bailey boys filling the door frame. They were all momentarily in shock before anger flooded the three intruders’ faces.
“Red, get the fuck up now and put some clothes on,” the Bailey brother demanded, his booming voice filling the increasingly small room.
The two men left the door, but Pearl lingered a moment longer to flash a furious stare at Rachel before turning on her heel and joining them. Red and Rachel were left red-faced, staring at the empty space, before looking at one another. Red wiped the look off his face and quickly gathered his clothes. He looked across at Rachel, still completely nude, and produced a large t-shirt and a spare pair of boxers from his wardrobe.
“Put these on for now.”
He tossed the clothes to her and before she had even caught them, he was out the room. Ashamed and embarrassed, she could feel tears pricking at the edges of her eyes. Such a beautiful moment had come to such an awful end.
I can feel my uncle’s disappointment already. What will he think of me when he finds out I slept with Red? They specifically forbid it and I broke their trust. They must think I’m just another empty-headed floozy. What if they won’t work with me again? What if they won’t let me see Red again? Of course, they won’t let me see him again. They don’t want another Ace incident. Idiot.
She pulled on the boxers which left a looming gap in her crotch area. Throwing on the top, she was glad it almost skirted the top of her knees as she gathered her confidence and stood up from the bed. She looked around the remainders of the love nest, before exiting the room. She moved slowly towards the certain sermon, she was about to receive. Rachel was surprised at the silence when she entered the room, but saw the furious-filled glares latch onto her, as her presence was noted. Red was sitting like a scolded school child on one side of the couch, while the three figures loomed over him. She realized that she was meant to join him as she took her place on the other side, automatically looking down at her hands to avoid any eye-contact.
Pearl went first, her voice laced with disgust, “What in fucks name do you think you’re both doing? As glad as I am to see Rachel back up and running, I did not expect to see her post-coitus with her bodyguard. What is wrong with you Baileys? I can’t set you on a fucking mission with a woman without you bedding the poor bitch. Be glad that you’re such a hard worker, or I’d have you shot right this second, Red. As for you Rachel, I warned you to stay away from him. Just had to spread your legs for a little bit of attention…”
“That’s enough, Pearl,” Red’s words rung out across the room.
Rachel looked to the side and was surprised to see the veins standing out in Red’s neck as he pinned the mafia twin down with his eyes. She looked like she was about to bite back when her brother stepped in.
“Let me do the talking, sis. I think we both learned our lesson from last time,” Joe’s voice was icy as he stepped forward, “You’ve disappointed us. Both of you. Clearly, it was a stupid idea to leave you both together. Red, you were meant to be protecting her, not examining her body. From this moment, your duties are relieved. We will contact you when we need you next
. Rachel, we came to tell you that your apartment has been cleaned up and we feel it might be of benefit if you stay there. However, it would appear you require a new bodyguard. Pearl will arrange someone more suitable this time. I suggest you start packing. We leave now.”
Rachel was about to stand up from the couch when the Bailey brother exploded, unable to contain his silence any longer. He leaned in close to Red as he yelled.
“How fucking stupid do you have to be? Do you know how long it has taken to get back on the right track with the Romanos, after your idiot of a brother slept around with Jen? At least he was serious about her! You just had to fuck whatever came your way. You couldn’t keep it in your pants for just one second, could you? I work my ass off and come home to this shit. You should be glad the twins are here, or I would strangle you myself you fucking moron.”
The words stormed out from what only could have been Van’s mouth. She stared at the torment of abuse as it collided with Red’s ears. For once, Red actually backed down and stayed quiet during the outburst of insults. They both knew they had been caught in an undesirable act in the eyes of the newcomers. Rachel thought it was best to leave and went to her room to grab her things from the drawers. Her brain was racing through a million thoughts when she stuffed her belongings into the gym bag. She found a pair of cotton shorts to throw over the boxers and stepped into some sneakers, not bothering to adjust her messy hair or even check the mirror to see whether her makeup had been ruined. She did not want to anger the Romanos more than she had already done.
Entering the great room once more, the air was palpable with emotions. Van had replaced Red on the couch, his body rigid with fury. The twins stood whispering in a corner while Red stood lonely in the kitchen, clutching the clothes they had discarded earlier. Everyone glanced over at her as she headed over, but no one said anything to stop her.
“I thought you might like these back,” Red tried to smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
“Thanks,” she took the items and stuffed them into the bag before hauling it back over her shoulder.
“I’m sorry the moment had to end like this, but I’m not letting you go. I will be with you, Rachel.”
Suddenly there was a cough from the other side of the room and they both looked over. Pearl ambled over to them, hands on hips, followed by her brother.
“Don’t think for a second you two are ever laying eyes upon one another again. I am not risking the reputation of the mafia over another stupid love story. Let’s face it, Red. She doesn’t mean anything to you. You can get any woman you want and I’m pretty sure you already have. You’ll get bored of her eventually and throw her away. Just get on with your life. As for you Rachel, I want your brains, not your body. I don’t care who you fuck on your own time, but when I’m paying for it, I expect you to be committed to the job. I’ve stuck my neck out for you, keeping you protected from the Martinez gang and this is how you repay me? I’ll put it down to lack of experience, but if you fuck with me again, I’ll have that pretty little red head of yours.”
“Back off, Pearl,” Red snarled as he stepped in front of Rachel, “Don’t you dare speak to her like that. And don’t think you can tell me how to live my personal life.”
“Your personal life?” she scoffed, “I’m paying you for this personal life you’ve grown so fond of. Don’t get ahead of yourself. You’re both my employees at the end of the day, so keep in line.”
“I’m not leaving him,” Rachel finally spoke up, forcing the words from her mouth.
“You don’t have a choice. Van,” she called over her shoulder, “Escort our little lawyer to the car, will you? Red, stay here. If you even try to disobey me, I’ll have to reconsider you and your brothers working for us. Do you understand?”
Before Rachel could speak another word, Van’s burly hands had picked her off her feet and thrown her over his shoulder like a firefighter. She yelled and pounded at his back but he continued to walk, unfazed by her determination. Once again, she found herself helpless as she was pulled away from Red. Red moved forward, but Joe put a firm hand on his chest and shook his head. Rachel kept her eyes locked on his, as she was dragged around the corner. This man had brought her more happiness in the last few days, than she had felt in the last few years.
Don’t let me go.
Chapter 11
RED
“You’re still watching that shit? Get up off the couch and stop moping,” his brother smacked him on the head as he walked past.
Red’s eyes didn’t move from the screen when he opened yet another beer. Yes, it was crappy daytime television. But so what? He didn’t care what was on, he just couldn’t bring himself to face reality just yet. It had already been two weeks, since Rachel was ripped from his life. He couldn’t wash the sight of her face from his mind. He wished he had stepped in and stopped the twins from taking her from him, but he couldn’t risk his brothers getting into trouble for his mistakes. The twins appeared to be punishing him by refusing him any jobs, but in the mood he was in, he didn’t want them anyway.
“Seriously, you need to go out. Paolo and Bill have been asking for you at the bar. You should stop by and see them, to show them you’re still alive.”
“Fuck off.”
Red had still not forgiven his brother for helping out with removing Rachel from the house. He knew deep-down it wasn’t his fault, but the look on her face when Van threw her over his shoulder, had him reeling inside. It just seemed like the world had gotten that much darker without her around and his energy levels had depleted. He had tried to call and text her every day, but she never answered. It was like she had completely disappeared. Red had considered riding by her apartment, just to check if the lights were on, but decided it was a really bad idea to risk provoking the twins even further.
Van kicked at Red’s leg, knocking them down from the couch and allowing space for him to sit down next to him. They both stared at the screen for a moment before Van turned to look at him.
“She’s safe, just so you know. I spoke to Joe and he told me they had assigned Kevin as a bodyguard. You know Kev will keep her safe. He’s a good man. Not the smartest, but at least he has muscles. No one has come for her in almost a month now, so I think they might slacken their reigns on her. She can go back to the office and go back to her normal life soon. It will be good for her, don’t you think?”
Red grunted, eyes still locked on the television. Van sighed and patted his brother’s legs before reaching down and grabbing a bottle of beer from Red’s stash. He popped the top off and sipped at it, settling into the couch. Agitation gnawed at Red’s brain.
Maybe that’s why she’s given up on me? She can finally go back to living her normal life without any distractions. Was I just a bit of fun for her?
The hum of voices emitted from the TV were just background noise as Red’s mind tormented itself. He pondered on, how he had been so foolish to believe such an extraordinary woman like Rachel, could ever fall for a guy like him. Sure, it had been fun, but all good things must come to an end. But then why couldn’t he stop thinking about her? If she could move on so easily, why couldn’t he?
Suddenly the trill ringtone of Van’s mobile screeched out through the air. Van placed his beer down on the floor before reaching in his pocket to retrieve the demanding device. He yanked it out, checked the caller ID before frowning an answering.
“What’s up, Joe? I thought I had a couple of days off before my next job.”
Pause.
“What? Are you sure?”
Red casually turned his head around when his brother’s body went rigid. All it took was one worried glance from Van and suddenly Red was on high-alert.
Rachel!
“I’m heading over there now.”
Pause.
“You know I can’t stop him. You can’t ask me to do that. He’s your best bet at tracking her down. She might have given him a clue when she was staying here. You can’t rule him out just yet, regardless of the tro
uble he’s caused. I’ll meet you at the apartment within the hour. Let me talk to Red. Bye.”
Van hung up the phone and shoved it into his pocket while standing up. Red looked at him expectantly, on edge from the words which were about to tumble out of his eldest brother’s mouth.
“They’ve taken her.”
“Who?” Red already knew the answer but he wanted the confirmation.
“The fucking Martinez crew have got hold of Rachel. No one knows where she is. We have to get to the apartment now.”
Red leaped up from his seat, the bottle that was resting on his lap flying through the air and smashing on the ground near the kitchen. He didn’t care. He had to find Rachel. Without thinking, he rushed to his room and grabbed his leather jacket. Throwing it on, he picked up his keys and was waiting in the garage before his brother even had a chance to switch off the TV. Soon they were both climbing onto their bikes and ready to ride. The garage door opened and Red led the way, cutting through traffic like a hot knife through butter. Nothing would stop him getting to the woman he had spent the best moments of his life with. She meant the world to him and he had promised to keep her safe. Now that promise was broken and he was determined to get her back.
The ride felt agonizingly long on the journey over to the apartment. A million thoughts raced through Red’s head as he wondered what had happened and where she was now. He thought of what those damn bastards could be doing to her, or what they had already done. Was she still alive? The thought made his mouth bitter and he did his best to hold himself together until he was outside the building. Quickly, he turned the engine off and leaped from the bike, not waiting for his brother to park up. Joe was standing outside, hands folded across his chest, waiting for their arrival.
“Joe, what’s happened?”
“I’ll tell you upstairs. You’d better have a look around and think back to what she might have mentioned. The only reason I convinced my sister to let you on this case, is because you know Rachel so well. This might be a chance to redeem yourself. Don’t fuck it up.”
