Take Me

  Moving over to the dresser, he opened the top drawer and got out a string of pearls and a bottle of lube. Like the good girl he knew she could be, her eyes were closed and she was in the same position as he had left her. Making his way into the bathroom, he washed his hands and the pearls thoroughly and headed back into the room. For just a moment he watched her back rise and fall as she breathed. She was nervous and anxious, that much he could pick up on instantly, and actually seeing what was going on with her and how he was making her feel had Gavin reaching down and placing a hand on his erection. Christ, he was so hard, hard enough that fluid leaked from the tip of his cock. He glanced down at the pearls he held, now warmed from the water and his touch. He had imagined doing this to her since the moment he had seen her, and although restraining her with the pearls was a visual orgasm all in its own, what he was about to do would be even more euphoric.

  Placing a knee on the bed, he pulled her legs apart. “Lift your bottom, Ruby.” She did so instantly and he gave one of her ass cheeks a swat. “So obedient.” Her cunt was red and swollen from her desire, and so fucking wet. As much as he wanted to eat her out again, make her come with his tongue alone, he wasn’t going to. Taking the strand of pearls and running them along the back of one of her legs, he watched her mouth open and heard her suck in a breath. He placed the necklace at the opening of her pussy and inch by slow inch he started to push the thick beads inside. She opened her eyes and made a small noise. He could see the way her pussy clamped down on the string of pearls, and his dick nearly tore through his pants at the sight. When all of it was inside of her except three beads, he reached for the lube, spread her cheeks apart, and just stared at the tight ring of muscle for a second. Tilting the bottle and letting the clear liquid slide down the crease of her ass and cover her hole, he used his thumb to spread it around and then pushed it inside, making sure she was nice and slick for when he shoved his dick into her.

  “Oh.” The one word came from her as he removed his thumb and replaced it with a finger, and then added another one. Scissoring the digits inside of her, stretching her to be able to take his thick dick had sweat dripping down his spine. He needed this, needed her surrender like he needed to breathe. He had to step away and catch his breath, because seeing her pussy filled with the pearls, still able to feel the inner muscles of her ass clench and release around his fingers, had Gavin on the verge of coming as it was.

  Removing his pants and stepping from them, he reached for the lube once more and coated his erection with it. Then he was right back behind her, guiding his dick into her ass. Hand on her neck and pressing her face into the mattress, he needed to make her know he was in charge, and needed to feel her complete control being taken away. The tip of his dick popped through the tight ring of muscle, and he let go of the root of his cock and started to push into her. He was mindful that she had never taken a man back here before, but that didn’t mean he would go easy. He used his other hand and grabbed hold of her wrist, yanked her arm behind her, and pinned her wrist at the small of her back. Her other hand was by her face, the sheets bunched in her fist. The sensation of pushing through all of her hot, lube-slicked tightness had his head falling back and his eyes closing. Then he started moving back and forth, and the feeling of those beads wedged in her tight pussy, with only a thin layer of flesh separating him from them, had his balls drawing up tight. She tried to turn her head, but he pushed her face down on the bed and curled his fingers into her wrist harder. She mewled from the pleasure, but also pain, no doubt.

  The air left him harshly when she squeezed her inner muscles. “If you fucking do that this will be over before it even begins.” He pulled almost out of her ass before thrusting back inside her hard enough that her upper body shifted forward on the bed. “It’s good, Ruby. Christ, you are so fucking good.” In and out he moved within her, increasing his speed every second until his entire body was covered in sweat and a few beads from his temple dripped onto her back to mix with her own perspiration. His hair was damp and the short strands stuck to his forehead. Looking down at where his dick was deep within her ass, he watched in voyeuristic pleasure as her pink flesh was stretched wide around him. “Is it good for you, darling?” He cured his fingers into her neck and she moaned. “Is the pain enough? Do you need more from me?”

  “It’s good.” He let his gaze travel over the light bruises on her ass and let go of her wrist to smooth his hand over them. She kept her hand behind her back, and he was immensely pleasured that he didn’t have to tell her to do that. He was very close to coming, but he wanted to feel her clench around him as she found her own release. He slowed his pace and slipped his arm around her waist, lifting her up.

  “Hold your weight up on your hands and knees.” She did as he asked, and he moved his hand lower, took hold of the strand of pearls and then started pumping in and out of her. “You’re going to come when I do, Princess.” He was panting now, doing everything in his power not to come before she did. “Do you understand me, Ruby?” She nodded her head, but then breathed out her affirmation. Pulling out and resting the tip of his dick at her entrance, he slammed into her with so much force she nearly lost her balance. He did this repeatedly, and right when he felt the first ripple move along his shaft he slowly started to remove the strand from her pussy. She tossed her head back and cried out long and hard, and he pumped into her faster and harder while continuing to pull the pearls from her sweet body.

  Her orgasm was like saccharine coating the air, and he inhaled it deeply and let his own orgasm come forth like a fierce animal taking control. Groaning out and coming forcefully in her ass, he filled her up, marking her, fully claiming every fucking part of her until there would never be a doubt that she was his. When his pleasure subsided and he could see her arms shaking as she tried to stay upright, Gavin pulled out and collapsed on the bed beside her. She fell forward, breathing heavily, covered in perspiration, a beautiful flush covering her body. After a few minutes she rolled onto her back and Gavin admired the way her large, taut breasts swayed from the action. She even had that light flush along her chest and belly. Her eyes were closed, but when he reached out and pushed a strand of her damp hair away she opened her eyes and looked at him. Gavin didn’t say anything for a moment, and just enjoyed looking at her with a post-euphoric glow surrounding her.

  “That was intense.”

  Gavin continued to move the tips of his fingers along her forehead and down her cheek. He didn’t say anything, but he felt the same way. She was perfect for him, his perfect masochist to his starving sadist. But as he looked at her, thought about all of the things he had found out about her life, and thought about what Adelbert had said, he couldn’t deny that having her here of her own free will would be even more pleasurable. He needed her to choose him, needed her to actually decide what she wanted, and not be surrounded by him or his things to do that. He thought about Adelbert’s words, and how if she wasn’t here of her own free will then that needed to be rectified. He didn’t want to give her a choice, if he were being honest, but he knew that in order for their bond to be formed completely, and made so nothing could come between them, then Ruby needed to decide on her own.

  You realize this young woman could ruin you with nothing more than her walking away, and that scares the shit out of you.

  There had never been anything that frightened Gavin except loneliness. But he could handle being alone. What he couldn’t handle was not being with Ruby.

  “Is everything okay?” She turned onto her side, but he moved onto his back. The air chilled as her emotions shifted.

  “Everything is fine, Princess.” But it wasn’t, and Gavin didn’t like that feeling.

  Chapter Twelve

  Ruby had been on edge all day, and she didn’t know why. Well, that wasn’t necessarily true. She knew why she was on edge and felt so uncertain. Ever since Gavin had anal sex with her, which had been a couple of days ago, he had seemed to distance himself from her. He still slept beside her, stil
l held her, but she felt his detachment. Had she done something wrong, had he realized she wasn’t what he wanted? All these questions slammed into her head, over and over again.

  Ruby couldn’t explain the hollowness that she felt, and often found herself staying in her room and looking at the windows, watching Drika tend to the grounds. This sudden change in him just didn’t make sense, especially with what he had said to her, and all the things they had done together.

  Turning away from the window, she moved over to the bed and sat down. Maybe Gavin had found another woman that he enjoyed more than her. Maybe he really was as bad as she originally thought, and wanted a harem of females. Maybe he had just been breaking her in, making her trust him, want him, and then he’d turn his back and show her that she truly was nothing. But no, even after thinking that, she knew it wasn’t the truth. She tried to rationalize that he was busy with work, and maybe that was why he was giving her this cold shoulder. Talking to him had gotten her nowhere. He dismissed her questions as if they meant nothing, but she had glimpsed something shift behind his eyes. Emotion maybe? Either way, she was starting to feel like an outsider, which sucked a lot since she had finally come to terms with the fact that she wanted Gavin.

  There was a knock on her door and she stood and clasped her hands behind her back. The door opened and Gavin stood on the other side, wearing a black pinstripe suit. The white shirt and blood red silk tie stood out, making him look powerfully controlled. His cufflinks flashed as the sunlight hit them.

  “How have you been, Ruby?” He stared at her stoically. He was the master of keeping his composure and not showing his emotions, and right now he had a wall in front of him. Ruby couldn’t very well say they knew everything about each other. God, she hated not knowing why he was acting like this, and had gone cold on her.

  “Have I done something wrong?” she asked for what seemed like the hundredth time, not bothering to answer his question. Her clear disobedience should have earned her some kind of delicious punishment, but this isolation from his attention was painful.

  “Why would you think that?” He didn’t move from the doorway. Her anger mounted at the lack of emotion he showed. So she acted out.

  “Because you’ve done nothing but ignore me for the last few days. Ever since you fucked me in the ass.” She felt her face heat from her crass words. She had always been more reserved, even living with a mother that was anything but. But she didn’t fear punishment from Gavin, didn’t even want it right now. At this moment she was angry and hurt, and felt like she had been discarded.

  “You’re acting like a child again, Ruby.” Her hands shook from her emotions, and she pressed them flat on her outer thighs.

  “Maybe I am, but I don’t give a fuck.” She would not cry, not show an expression, although the latter was already a fail. “How can you do that to a person?” He lifted a dark eyebrow. “How can you take someone, make them want you, care for you, and then just push them aside without any reason or explanation?”

  “I always have a reason for what I do.” That pissed her off even more, and she moved closer until they stood toe to toe.

  “You bought me, took me to this place, and away from my life—”

  “You didn’t have a life before I came around, Ruby. You were just surviving.”

  The tears she had tried to stop fell now, and she brushed them away. “You’re a bastard.” She said those three words on a whisper. She expected him to grab her, turn her around and spank her ass until she couldn’t sit. That pain would have been welcome. But what he said in response surprised her.

  “Yes, I am, Ruby, but I never claimed to be anything else.” He took a step toward her, but she held her ground and looked him right in his cold blue eyes.

  “How do you see yourself?”

  “W-What do you mean?”

  “How do you see yourself in my life? Do you think we are a couple, that you’re my girlfriend?” He moved a step closer and she took one back. “Do you think I will take you on dates, introduce you to people I know?” He took another step, and she kept retreating. “Do you see yourself as my wife?” Her tears were falling faster, and her vision was blurred. “Answer me.” He yelled out those words and she flinched from the anger in them.

  “I guess I didn’t know what I thought.” That was a lie. She hadn’t thought they would get married or anything like that, because what she felt for him went deeper than a certificate could declare, even after only a few weeks. But maybe he thought she had seen them as going out or something. She was so much younger than him, and clearly she had just been his little pussy to play with as he pleased. God, that hurt to think about.

  He moved away from her and nodded slowly. “Well, we need to rectify that then.” What the hell did that mean? He reached out and grabbed her arm, tugging her forward and out the door. She had to all but run just to keep up with his quick, long strides, and soon she found herself down the stairs, out the front door, and shoved into the back seat of the limo. Ruby righted herself just as Gavin sat down and closed the door behind him. The limo pulled forward and she pushed her hair out of her face and looked at him.

  “What are you doing?” He didn’t answer, but then again he wouldn’t even look at her. Minutes later they were pulling onto the airstrip, and he was hauling her out the door. “Gavin, what are you doing?” She dragged her feet, but he was stronger than her and easily pulled her along. Then they were on the jet, and she was pushed onto one of the leather seats. She was still crying, because all she could think about was that he was taking her back to those human trafficking guys. “Why are you doing this? What did I do?” He finally looked at her, and she saw a flicker of emotion pass over his face.

  “You didn’t do anything. I’m taking you back to your old life, Ruby, since the only reason you are here is because you were taken from it.” The doors closed and it was a few minutes before the plane started to taxi.

  “You don’t want me anymore?” God, he wanted to take her back to that shitty world. She had nothing, nowhere to go. There was a time not long ago at all that she would have longed for this day, but now she hated it.

  * * *

  Ruby had fallen asleep a couple of hours ago, but they were due to land soon. Gavin leaned back, with only the one overhead light on in the main cabin. He watched her, saw the way her chest rose and fell under the light pink floral shirt she wore. He had been hard on her, had been very cold toward her for the last few days, but he had been doing a lot of thinking. After he had taken her, had used the pearls on her, all he could think about was the fear of her leaving. The words that Adelbert had spoken to him had been cemented in his mind. He wanted her, fuck he wanted her with his last breath, but he had a terrible fear of losing her. The only way he knew to ensure that she stayed with him, that their bond was solidified, was to take her back to her old life and have her decide if she wanted him or her freedom.

  Maybe it wasn’t the best-laid plan, because in reality she could leave if she wanted to even if she chose him, but at least he would know that she was with him of her own free will. The plan descended and landed, and after twenty minutes they were allowed to exit. “Ruby, darling, wake up.” Over the past few days he had kept his distance. He hadn’t shown her affection, but it hadn’t been a punishment, just a way for him to get his thoughts in order.

  She roused herself, rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and then after a few seconds realized where she was. She sat up straighter and he looked into her face. He hated that she looked so forlorn. “We’re here?”

  He nodded. Her mother’s trailer was a twenty-minute ride from the airstrip.

  Once off the plane and in the limo, he took note that she stayed to herself, wouldn’t look at him, and said nothing. “I have something for you.” When she looked at him, he reached for the small, dark duffel beside him. He handed it to her and she seemed reluctant to take it. “I am not leaving you without anything. Inside there is money to help you until you’re on your feet, legal documents, and
clothing.”

  “Why are you doing this?” She took the bag, but there was so much pain in her voice it broke his heart.

  “I’m not doing this to hurt you, Princess.” She shook her head and looked out the window.

  “Yes you are. You thrive on the pain of others.”

  He didn’t respond for a minute because it was true to an extent.

  “I just want you to know that you have a choice. That I am giving you a choice.”

  When she looked at him there was anger in her face. “If that was what this was about why make this big production? Why ignore me, make me feel unwanted, and that I did something wrong?”

  “Because I needed to think, and needed you to realize that you do have a choice in how your life plays out. I don’t want to let you go, don’t want to know that you might leave me because you never had the option to go back to your life. That was a fear I was holding on to.”

  She stared at him, not saying anything, but he saw in her face she understood what he was saying.

  They rode in silence the rest of the way, but he didn’t press her for conversation or her thoughts. He had said what he needed to, and it was up to her to make her choice. When the limo pulled to a stop in front of her mother’s shitty trailer, Ruby opened the door and climbed out. It was very late, but lights shined through windows that looked like newspaper stood in for curtains. The neighborhood was rundown, falling apart, and debilitated.

  Gavin reached out right before Ruby excited and grabbed her wrist. She stopped and looked over at him.

  “I am not discarding you.” He had to make her see that, and he’d say it over and over again. They held each other’s gaze. “I just want you to know that you have a choice. You are not my captive, no matter how much I liked the idea. Maybe I shouldn’t have treated you as anything but the treasure you are to me, but I did what I had to do to make you realize that you have options, and to have me understand that you needed to pick what you want in life.” And he would keep telling her that until it was so solid inside of her that she never doubted it. The anger slowly drained from her face. “And I do care for you, darling. So very much.” Her breath hitched, but she said nothing, just nodded.
