“Hey,” he says.
“Let’s go,” Dad tells our driver.
Matheson looks over at me. He notices my swollen, bruised jaw. “That’s gonna hurt in the morning. How’d you get so banged up when I just saw you like a couple hours ago?”
“Bateman,” I answer. “If he tries it again, I’ll be ready for him.”
My dad has no patience for where this conversation is going. He lifts his hand to shut us up, and turns to Matheson. “Are you going to tell me what the hell happened with Rocko?”
“It’s better if you don’t ask, Solomon.”
“No one, not even Miller, gets away with what he pulled tonight. You understand?”
“I do. You have to understand the D.A., the Mayor, and even the Governor of New York are all breathing down our necks to find out who’s responsible for killing Rushton’s niece.”
“That’s no excuse. Why did you stand there and let Miller threaten his kid?”
“Miller was just a little eager.”
“Fuck that. What about the Grand Jury? Was he being eager about that too? Because I want to be clear with you, Matheson. We have our arrangements. It does not include harassment of my key men. If it happens again, there’ll be hell to pay. I know everyone wants to get a piece of me, but this has to stop.”
“Sloan. We warned you about this time and time again. You can’t keep doing this, and think we can turn a blind eye every time. This time you went too far. None of us can protect you. Not even the Deputy Commissioner.”
“So what the hell do I pay you for?” my dad asks, combing a frustrated hand through his hair. “Look, when I talk to Deputy Morris about what you’re saying, he’d better have a different answer.”
“I don’t think you should mention I met you. I think your answer is we didn’t meet tonight.”
“Oh, really? Then how did I find out about all this?”
“You didn’t. Or maybe Rocko here told you. Right now I’m not in his good graces.”
“What the hell kind of trouble are you in, Matheson?”
“I wasn’t here tonight. If anyone checks, that will be my answer,” Matheson says.”
“Why will anyone look into this?”
“They won’t, especially if you don’t mention we met tonight.”
“Jesus, Matheson.” My dad turns to the limo driver. “Stop the car.”
Rocko is mad as hell. “Boss, this guy stood there and let me take it up the ass. That’s all we’re gonna do?”
“For now, yes. Don’t worry, Rocko. I’ll fix this. Matheson here is at the bottom of the dung heap. He’s just following orders. We’ll get this sorted out at the top.” He turns to Matheson when the limo comes to a stop. “Get out.”
He gets out and realizes we’re nowhere near his SUV. “You’re letting me off here? We’re miles from my car.”
“Yeah well, life a bitch. Take the time to walk it off and think about things.”
Rocko seems pleased, but only a little. “That guy fucking stabbed me in the back, Boss. He stood there and didn’t say a word. He might as well have stuck a dagger in my eye. Fucking bastard.”
“We’ll take care of this, Rocko. For tonight, go home. Get some sleep. We’ll figure it all out.”
In my opinion, tonight has not gone well. We have this recording. I decide in the back of my mind I’m pulling Kara in, despite my dad’s wishes to handle it in-house. After we take Rocko home, Dad drops me off at my place. He tells me he’ll talk to me in the morning. I tell him I’m going to the villa in the Bahamas for a few days. He says to keep my phone on in case he needs me.
I’m anxious and exhausted when I get up to my place. It’s after ten at night. I didn’t even get a second to ask Dad about what’s going on between him and Mandy. If I had just ignored that phone call at the airport, by this time tonight I would’ve been on the ground in Bahamas, sipping cocktails and holding Rebecca.
No matter what, I’m taking that trip tomorrow. From the recording Rocko played, and from Dad’s chat with Matheson, things are heating up fast. Someone in the NYPD wants to hang my father out to dry, and that means they’ll be coming for me soon. If and when they do, I have no doubt they’re coming for blood. Someone has to pay, and I’m the one with the billboard around my neck.
* * *
It’s almost midnight, and I still can’t sleep. On top of having all of Dad’s stuff on my mind, I’m craving Rebecca. She and my position at Fairchild’s are the only good things going on in my life right now. I don’t even text her. I get dressed and head over to her place. I buzz her from downstairs and she answers. She tells me to come up.
I get upstairs and she’s waiting for me at her front door, dressed in a sexy black negligee. I don’t say a word. I cup her face and press a desperate kiss on her lips.
Chapter 7 - Rebecca
Jonathan kisses me at the door, and I remember the desire he creates in me whenever we’re close.
“I need you,” I manage to get out as his lips crash against mine.
In no time, he picks me up and carries me to my bedroom. I’m lost in his arms. He pulls me into his firm chest. Our eyes are locked, all the way to the bedroom. After lowering me onto the bed, he resumes the kiss. He’s on top of me, his hot body on mine. He envelopes me, and his hardness presses on my stomach. His lips are soft, and so intense, so charged with need. I want him inside me right away.
He parts my lips with his and his tongue connects with mine, sending a flood of heat throughout my body. He circles the tip of my tongue with his and I moan into his kiss. The sound is from deep in my throat. It’s full of desire and hunger, and his reaction matches my need. My arms wrap around his strong back. I cling to him, drawing in his heat, breathing in his masculine scent.
Jonathan drives his tongue in deeper. His hand slips around to the back of my head and he pulls me in closer. I’m undone when he takes my mouth as he fists my hair and tilts my head up. Pulling from my lips, he presses a soft, hot trail of kisses over to my ear lobes. Every touch claims me completely. My body is on fire, all the way to my womb.
“You’re mine, Rebecca,” he growls to me, mowing his tongue along the sensitive skin of my neck and down my body.
There’s no denying this man owns me now. My body shudders from his touch, and I’m weak with the feel of his lips and tongue moving down to my breasts. He makes every cell in my body feel like new life has breathed into them. Every fiber of my core is ignited. I’m so ready to merge with him completely.
Jonathan licks one nipple, then the next through my negligee, sending shock waves through me. He pulls aside the fabric over my breast and latches on to one nipple, sucking gently while his hands move down my sides and slip into the crook of my back. His manhood is pressed more firmly on my lower belly now. My legs spread to feel him closer. Our hips grind on each other slowly. He fits himself into the space I’ve made between my legs.
“You make me crazy, Rebecca,” he groans, lifting off my breasts and looking into my eyes. “You’re so beautiful.”
I smile up at him, and he kisses me briefly again before grazing his lips across to my neck and running his hot tongue over my tender earlobe. I sigh and stretch out my neck at the sensations flowing through my body.
“I want you so bad, Jonathan,” I beg, writhing beneath him, almost overcome with erotic desire.
He pulls away again and his eyes meet mine. His eyes are darkened, filled with heat and tenderness. With his eyes still locked intensely on mine, he slides his hands from my back, and squeezes it under my ass.
“I need you, baby. All of you.”
He moves off the bed and removes his clothes. He returns to stretch out beside me, and gently tugs off my one-piece negligee. His hands find each strap on my shoulder and slide them down slowly, deliberately.
“I want to remember this,” he says. “I want to own every inch of you.”
His eyes pore into my body as he takes in every part of me. He pulls the negligee past my breasts, and down
my waist. He straddles my legs and tugs it down my hips, staring as he goes. The slow intensity of the moment engulfs us. I breathe in a shallow breath as he lifts my legs to pull the negligee completely off each foot.
He looks up at me and begins to press soft kisses on my toes and ankles, to my calves and knees, and then flutters even softer, almost imperceptible kisses up along my inner thighs. My breathing is ragged now, I’m so turned on. Our eyes never break contact. When he reaches my mound, he blows a cool breath over it. The sensation hits me hard, and a soft tremor flutters across my stomach and down my legs. It spreads out through my body and God, I swear I can come from just that breath.
The look in his eyes tells me he’s ready to enter me, but I must be mistaken. He pulls off me completely and tells me, “I want to see you.”
He takes my hands and gently helps me sit up and get off the bed. I’m standing in front of him. He moves a few steps away. His eyes run down my body ever so slowly.
“You’re so sexy, baby. Touch yourself for me.”
I’m so aroused, I do what he says. Any anxiety I may have had about doing something like this is gone. He makes me feel so safe, so gorgeous. All I want to do is satisfy him. I slide a hand down my body to meet my mound. I widen my stance a bit for room. I slide two fingers between the folds, and rest my thumb on my clit.
He groans at the sight, wrapping a hand around his cock, stroking up and down slowly. I’m wet. I’m turned on already, but seeing him react to me this way makes me want him more. My other hand floats up to my breast. I circle the nipple and throw my head back at the thought that I’m close to coming already.
I stand before him, admiring his perfect body and taking in the lust on full display on his face. It’s more than lust. It’s adoration, I think. Whatever it is, I can’t help myself. I love how he looks at me, like I’m so sexy and powerful, like I’m everything he wants in a woman. My heart starts to beat so quickly, I think my chest will burst.
He reaches for a condom from his pants on the floor and puts it on. He strides toward me, but doesn’t touch me. He’s so close I can feel his body heat. It radiates through me, right to the core. His cock is just inches from my mound now. I step up to him and close the gap, pressing my breasts against his burning hot chest. I slide my hardened nipples across his chest and he wraps his strong arms around me.
He picks me up and carries me to the bed again, depositing me on the bed sideways, with my legs off the edge. He sits beside me and lowers to kiss me. I’m so hot, so wet, the moisture is pooling between my legs. He stretches out beside me. He runs his fingers across each breast, then presses his lips on one nipple, and then the next.
I’m panting now, gasping. The pleasure rolling through my body is only matched by my raw need. He continues to touch me, and I begin to beg him to come inside. I feel he’s stretching out the moment. He wants more than just sex. He wants to love me, to commit every second to me. He doesn’t have to tell me this. It’s in his eyes and his touch.
Moving up my body, he kisses me again, driving his tongue between my lips. He rolls on top of me. His skin is hot and his chest muscles ripple against my breasts and stomach. God, the feel of his skin on mine, and his rock hard cock against my clit drive me over the edge. My body convulses as I come. The waves of pure pleasure travel in through my core and out to my fingers and toes.
He knows I’ve come. He holds me close and waits, but keeps his lips on mine. His tongue doesn’t stop until my shaking subsides.
“Please, baby. Please come inside me,” I beg again.
This time he does. He parts my legs wider with his knees. He stands at the edge of the bed and pulls my legs up to rest in the crook of each of his arms. My ass is high off the bed. My clit is throbbing and my thighs are still weak from my first orgasm.
“Jonathan” I whimper.
He replies with his throbbing cock. He pierces my opening and drives deep inside me. I think I scream in pleasure. I can barely hear myself, it feels so good. Each thrust of his hips is accentuated by the precarious angle. He’s able to pull out completely and re-enter my soaked channel, burying himself deep inside me each time.
I arch my back and his cock hits my g-spot with every new plunge. The pleasure running through me has gone through the roof. I can black out from how amazing it feels. He continues to thrust inside me and pull out, and soon I come again. This climax has hit me harder than the last. I hiss. My eyes flutter closed. I’m shaking so much he pulls out slowly and lowers me back to the bed.
I beg him to come back inside me. He cradles my back and shifts me so I’m stretched out on the bed, head to toe. I tell him I want him to come inside me. I beg him to take me hard.
“I don’t know what you do to me, Rebecca,” he moans. “There’s no one else for me now. Only you.”
I see the sincerity in his eyes and a tear falls from mine. “I’m yours, baby,” I tell him, gazing into his eyes.
We’re locked in a powerful moment. There’s something we share that I can’t put into words. All I know is if I open my mouth to say anything right now, I’ll end up telling him I love him. I bite down on my bottom lip to make sure I don’t say it. His eyes close, and when they open again, I sense he’s feeling exactly the same way. It’s too soon for us to confess what we’re feeling right now. It’s best to wait.
He looks down at me and smiles. He blinks again, and the expression on his face transforms to one of desire. I’m consumed with anticipation all over again. I’m hot and wet, and all I want is his manhood deep inside me. I’m at a new level of pleasure when he slowly slides into me again.
I wrap my legs around his hips and hold on to his firm biceps. He buries himself deep inside me with a thrust that I think has sent me to another world. Groaning, I call his name, begging him to fuck me until he comes. He pumps in and out of me, moving faster with each stroke.
I can come again, but I wait. I think he’s close. I reach my head up and tug on his nipple gently with my teeth. I swirl my tongue around it, and begin to suck as he pounds me with his swollen hardness. He growls and tells me he’s coming, and with a few deep strokes inside me, I feel him stiffen and release in me. The warm sensation sends me to my third peak. I orgasm again as his cock pulses through his climax, clinging to him tightly as he shakes.
He stays on top of me until our bodies subside, and pulls out gently to relax beside me. We’re both still gasping for air. When our breathing gets back to normal, he gathers me in his arms.
“You drive me wild, woman,” he whispers.
“Mmmm,” I moan. “I can’t wait to make love to you in the Bahamas.”
“Me too,” he answers. “I should let you get some sleep. I have to meet my father over at my place first thing in the morning.”
“Stay with me,” I ask him. “I’ll set my alarm and make sure you leave on time.”
“All right. Are you sure?”
“I just…I need you close tonight,” I admit.
He smiles, pulling the cover over us as he takes me in his arms. It’s probably only minutes before we both fall asleep.
Chapter 8 - Jonathan
I wake up the next morning and it takes me a few second to remember I’m beside Rebecca. I smile. It’s been another nightmare-free night. I’m grateful for this extra positive side-effect this woman is having on me. I look over at her. She’s still sleeping. She looks so peaceful, I let her sleep. Her alarm hasn’t gone off yet.
I get up and stretch, and then head to her bathroom to clean up. When I get back, she’s slowly waking up, and has the sweetest smile on her face when she turns to look at me. I’m tempted to get right back into bed with her, but I know where that will lead. Instead, I go over to her and lean down to kiss her.
“Good morning, sexy,” I whisper.
She wraps her arms around my neck. “Good morning.”
I smell the mild trace of perfume on her and it does me in again. I swear if I keep this up we’ll end up in bed all day, but right now, I can’t help
it. She tilts her body just enough, and I climb in beside her. I turn to face her, and she kisses my forehead. I smile down at her, admiring how great she looks first thing in the morning. Her hair is tousled around her face and neck. Her wild, sexy, sleepy look makes me rock hard.
Rebecca smiles up at me. She trails the back of her hand along my cheek, down my neck, and tilts her head to kiss my lips. My chest tightens up. I’m feeling more than sexual desire for her, and I wish I can tell her how I feel. I can’t, though. I suspect she knows, but saying it is a different story. It’s been less than a week since I met Rebecca, and I already love her.
I won’t dare tell her. My life is about to be turned upside down, and I can’t drag her any further into it. I remind myself I can be intoxicated, and she can too, but that’s as far as I’ll let it go. Saying the words this early on is bad enough. Saying them in light of what I may have to do for Dad is just wrong. I get an image of her visiting me in prison, and I blank the whole thing out of my mind. I won’t put her through that.
Her kiss pulls me in again. She pushes me onto my back and begins kissing my neck. I stop thinking entirely. Her hot breath and soft lips move down my chest and stomach.
“God, Rebecca,” I moan, and hear the throaty sound of my voice.
She reaches a hand down between my legs and wraps her fingers around my shaft. My cock throbs and gets harder in her hand. My heart begins to race as her lips get to my stomach. She’s stroking my cock and exploring, and I’m getting closer to grabbing her hips to pull her pussy down on my aching hardness. I let her stroke me for a little longer, and am almost panting when her tongue licks the tip of my cock head. I’m hard as granite by then, and reach my hand down to cup her mound. She purrs, and the sound vibrates through my cock as it twitches under her lips. She looks up without releasing my cock, eyes so seductive. She swirls her tongue around my shaft, and slides my full length into her mouth. It’s more than I can handle.
