Ignite

  “Emmit!” Adaline called out as I took what was mine. It didn’t take Adaline long to come as she pushed her hands into my hair and moved her hips into my face.

  I couldn’t help but smile as I lifted my head and watched as my wife tried to catch her breath. “Did that feel good, baby?”

  Adaline barely lifted her hand as she said, “So. Good.”

  Smiling, I sat down next to her and pulled her onto my lap. “Perfect way to start our honeymoon, don’t you think?” I asked as I pushed her hair away from her face. Adaline smiled and nodded. “Oh yes, I’d have to agree.”

  A beep sounded as Emmit hit the button and asked, “Yes?”

  “Mr. Lewis, we’re at the airport, sir.”

  Adaline let out a squeal as she moved off of me and slid to the seat, waiting for me to get out first. As I stepped out of the limo, I took one look at the private jet and shook my head. “Damn, Todd. He’s getting a raise the second we get back.”

  Adaline chuckled next to me and said, “Holy crap. Whose plane is that, anyway? It’s huge!”

  I took her hand in mine as I nodded and thanked the limo driver then walked toward the stairs that led up to the plane. “I have no clue.”

  As we stepped into the plane two flight attendants and the captain greeted us. “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.”

  Adaline squeezed my hand some, and I knew it was because of how they greeted us.

  “Good evening,” we both said at once.

  The one flight attendant had her red hair pulled up into a tight bun and handed both of us a glass of champaign as she smiled and said, “Congratulations on your marriage. Everything has been taken care of like you requested, Mr. Lewis.”

  Adaline’s head snapped over to look at me. “When did you do all of this?” she asked.

  With a wink, I kissed her cheek and said, “Earlier, before the wedding.”

  The pilot extended his hand and said, “We’ve been given a departure time. If you would both take your seat, we’ll have you off the ground and on your way to the Bahamas shortly.”

  Adaline bounded on her toes and said, “The Bahamas? Oh, Emmit, I’ve always wanted to go there!”

  I couldn’t help but smile at how excited she was. Turning back to the pilot, I nodded as we shook hands firmly, but quickly. “Sounds perfect.”

  Before I knew it, we were seated and the plane was taking off down the runway as I tried like hell to calm my nerves. My leg bounced up and down and I had no idea if I was nervous of the flying or the fact that I was about to make love to my wife.

  My wife.

  Those words alone caused heat to radiate through my body as I looked at Adaline.

  My eyes caught the other flight attendant as she walked up and leaned down. “Mr. Lewis, you’re free to move about. Everything has been taken care of as you requested. Just head straight back through the door.”

  Giving her a nod, I said, “Thank you so much.”

  I couldn’t help but notice her lips part open slightly before she pressed them back together. I could see the lust in her eyes as she stared at me before retreating away. Turning away from her, I looked at Adaline who had her face buried in her Kindle. The moment she saw her bag, she reached in and grabbed it. It was kind of cute she thought she was going to get some reading in on this flight. I had other plans, though.

  I unbuckled my seat belt and stood up as I looked down at my beautiful bride. Adaline glanced up and gave me the brightest smile ever. I held my hand out as she quickly set her Kindle down, unbuckled and stood up. My fingers gently moved over her cheek as I looked into her eyes. “Have I told you how beautiful you look?”

  Adaline’s eyes sparkled with delight as she bit down on her damn lip so hard it turned white. My dick jumped in my pants as I quickly picked her up and carried her to the back of the plane.

  With a lighthearted laugh, Adaline dropped her head onto my chest as she took in a deep breath. “God, I love how you smell.”

  I pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom. My eyes widened as I looked at the room. “Holy shit,” I said as I slowly set Adaline down as she spun around and took everything in.

  “Oh, Emmit. This is so romantic!”

  The lights in the room were dimmed down giving it a romantic feel. The bed was covered in red rose petals and a bottle of champaign sat next to it, chilling in ice.

  I slowly took my shirt off as Adaline turned to face me. Her eyes burned with desire as my pulse raced faster. “Turn around, Addie.”

  Adaline did as I asked as she quickly turned around and looked back at me from over her shoulder. My hands were shaking as I dropped my shirt to the floor and then reached for her zipper. As I slowly unzipped her dress I took in a deep breath.

  Adaline’s perfume filled my senses as I memorized every single thing about this moment. The slight moan she made when her dress pooled around her feet and my hands lightly touched her back caused me to smile. I loved that my touch affected her like it did. Her chest falling up and down and her beautiful hair as it fell lightly around her shoulders as I slowly took it down.

  Adaline slowly turned and faced me. The only thing she was wearing were light-blue panties. “Jesus, I didn’t know you didn’t have a bra on that whole time.”

  With a throaty laugh, Adaline said, “Built in bra in the dress.”

  “Nice,” I said as I ran my finger along the top of her breasts. Adaline reached for my pants and unbuttoned them as she licked her lips and looked down. I could see the anticipation in her eyes as my heart pumped harder in my chest.

  “I can’t wait to feel you inside of me, Emmit.”

  A shiver ran across my entire body as Adaline pushed my pants and boxer briefs down. Taking my dick in her hand, she gently stroked it as I dropped my head back and let out a gush of air.

  “Fucking hell, I’m trying to go slow, but I just want to fuck the hell out of you.”

  Her hand gripped harder on my dick as I felt her lips touch my chest. “We have plenty of time for that. Right now I want to take in every single moment. Slowly.”

  If slow is what she wanted, slow is what I was going to give her. Her lips moved further down my chest to my stomach then across my hips. If she thought she was going to give me a blowjob she was crazy. One touch of her lips on me and I would come.

  I reached down and lifted her back up as I pressed my lips against hers. Adaline wrapped her arms around my neck as we quickly got lost in the kiss. What started off as slow, moved to me sucking her lower lip into my mouth and gently biting down on it. Whispered names ignited the desire even more as our hands couldn’t seem to touch enough areas of skin.

  As I walked Adaline back, her legs hit the bed and she sat down; never once did we break our kiss. Crawling onto the bed, Adaline laid back as I spread her legs open to me. I pulled my lips from hers as I gazed into her eyes. “I love you so much.”

  The smile that spread across Adaline’s face caused my breath to catch. “I love you too. So very much.”

  Moving down her body, I massaged her feet as Adaline grabbed the sheets and let out a soft moan. The feel of my hands was turning her on and that did things to me. Knowing that she only needed my touch to turn her on was an amazing feeling. My hands moved up her legs as I gave her the utmost attention as I massaged her body.

  Her head slowly fell from side to side as my name fell across her lips.

  “Please,” she begged as she lifted her hips from the bed.

  Grinning, I moved my hands up her body and cupped her breasts. “I’m going to give your body attention from top to bottom, Addie. Then I’m going to make love to you until we land.”

  Hands grabbed at the sheets, raising her body off the bed in a silent plea. “Yes, Emmit. Oh God, I need to feel you. Please don’t tease me.”

  I ran my fingertip lightly around her nipple as I kissed the other one and let out a deep throaty moan. Adaline’s hands pushed through my hair as she grabbed a fistful and tried to push me down to where her need
was.

  Chuckling, I lifted my head and looked into her beautiful blue eyes. “You said slow, baby. I’m going slow.”

  “Ugh! Emmit!”

  With a smile, I moved further up her body and ran my tongue along her jawline as she wrapped her legs around me tightly.

  “Addie?” I asked as I bit down gently on her chin.

  Her desire was so evident as she tried to pull me down onto her with all her might.

  “Too. Much. Talking.” Opening her eyes, I saw nothing but a fire burning. “Make love to me, Emmit. Please.”

  I was shocked I was able to hold out as long as I did before I gave in to her pleas. Teasing her wet entrance with the tip of my cock, I slowly pushed in just enough to cause her body to shudder, only to pull it back out and have Adaline groan in disbelief.

  “Addie?”

  Her eyes snapped open as our gaze locked. “Yes? What? I can’t think!”

  I placed my hands on the sides of her face and looked deep into her eyes. “I promise to love you forever.”

  Tears immediately began to build in Adaline’s eyes as she chewed on her lip. Using my thumb, I pulled her lip from her teeth as I softly kissed her lips.

  Adaline’s arms wrapped around my neck as I pushed into her ever so slowly. I gently kissed the tears falling from her eyes as she let out one soft sob after another. “And I promise to love you forever too.”

  The rest of the night was spent making slow, passionate love to my wife.

  The woman of my dreams.

  The reason I took each and every breath.

  My life.

  My future.

  THE SUN FELT AMAZING ON my face as I lay in the lounge chair and let out a contented sigh. Emmit and I had been in the Bahamas for five days and it was utter bliss. The little villa we were staying at was perfect. It had a full kitchen, so we stocked up on food and stayed in every night but one.

  Smiling, I touched my lips as I thought back to last night. It had been the most romantic night yet. Emmit and I lay in the hammock and stared up at the star-filled sky. One soft kiss from Emmit and it turned into a make-out session. We did nothing but kiss and touch each other as we both came at the same time from one another’s touch. My swollen lips were a reminder of how passionate things turned.

  “Mrs. Lewis?”

  I opened my eyes to see one of the girls from the resort office standing there smiling at me. “Hi, Landy, how are you?”

  Giving me a slight nod, she smiled and said, “I’m so very sorry for bothering you. It’s just this package came marked for you and the courier said it was important, so I thought I should bring it to you right away.”

  I swung my legs around and stood up as I reached for the small package. “Thank you so much, Landy.”

  With a smile, she turned and headed back to the resort office. I quickly sat down and opened the package. Emmit must have sent something for me. He knew how much I loved surprises.

  A padded envelope was enclosed in the larger envelope. Opening it, I pulled out a phone that had a note attached to it. Who in the hell is this from? I read the note and swallowed hard.

  Watch the video.

  This is who you married.

  Swallowing hard, I stared down at the phone. My hand shook as I swiped it open. The only thing on the phone was the photo app. Opening it, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I hit play and opened my eyes again.

  The video showed Emmit at what looked like a club. He was sitting alone, but then a girl walked up. My hand came up to mouth as I recognized the girl. It was Ashley’s friend, Cookie. You couldn’t make out what they were saying because of the music in the club. I couldn't pull my eyes away as I watched Emmit push her hair behind her ear. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her to his lips. Taking out his wallet, he pulled out a condom and tossed it onto the table. My heart pounded in my chest as I continued to watch. It was obvious Cookie had Emmit’s dick in her hand. It appeared she was about to climb on top of Emmit when the video stopped.

  I quickly stood up and dropped the phone as I walked toward the water. My heart felt as if someone was squeezing it and I couldn’t breathe.

  When was that taken?

  Was it before we got back together or after?

  Pressing my hands onto my face, I let out a frustrated cry. No! It was not taken after we were together. I knew in my heart Emmit would never cheat on me. Dropping my hands, I looked out over the crystal-clear turquoise water.

  How in the hell did Stephanie find us? No one knew we were here besides Todd and Ashley. Emmit had sent them both text with the information the day after we arrived.

  As I spun around, I walked back to the phone. Reaching down, I grabbed my dress and pulled it over my head and then snagged the phone and headed back to the resort.

  Landy smiled when I walked up to her. I tried my best to not act like a crazy, jealous wife. “Landy, who gave you that package?”

  “A courier. She said it was important that you got it right away.”

  A lump formed in my throat. “It was . . . a woman?”

  “Yes, it was.”

  I looked all around as fear raced through my body. “W-what did she look like?”

  “Oh, I didn’t really pay that much attention, Mrs. Lewis.”

  My head snapped back to Landy as I glared at her. “Did she have blonde hair? Dark hair?”

  “She um, well it was blonde. It was pulled up in a baseball cap, but I could see blonde peaking through.”

  My hands came up to my mouth as tears formed. I quickly spun around as I looked at everyone.

  “Stephanie . . .”

  “Mrs. Lewis, are you okay?”

  I slowly shook my head as I wrapped my arms around my body and cried.

  My body flinched as Emmit hurled a vase across the room and it shattered in a million pieces.

  “Tell me how in the fuck she found out where we were Todd!” Emmit screamed into his phone.

  Chris had already called Emmit back to say he was trying to get the local police to check video footage at the airport, but as far as they were concerned, someone giving me a phone was not a crime.

  “No, that’s not a good enough answer. I want you to figure out if she hacked into your email and found out. Fuck, for all I know she has a fucking tracking device on my goddamn phone.”

  I pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my face. The image of the video played over and over in my mind, even though I tried to like hell to remove it. Emmit told me everything. It was the night of the dinner party, the day before the race at Texas Motor speedway last April. Emmit and I weren’t together then, and he assured me nothing happened. I believed him and figured that was why the video stopped when it did. Just seeing another woman on him and touching him made me sick to my stomach. I needed to forget it and realize none of that mattered.

  “Addie?”

  My head lifted as I was met with the most caring gray eyes ever. “Baby, I’m so sorry this is happening. Do you want to go home?”

  Pressing my lips tightly together, I attempted to hold back my tears, but they finally broke free. I threw myself into Emmit’s arms as he held onto me. “I swear to you, pumpkin, we are going to find her. I swear to you.”

  Emmit’s phone rang, and I wanted to tell him to ignore it. Wrapping my legs around him, I held onto him as he walked over and picked up my phone.

  “Chris, talk to me bro. Give me something.”

  I could hear Chris talking through the phone, but I pushed it away and focused on Emmit and his cologne. My mind drifted back to last night in the hammock. I thought about how I had stopped talking my pills the day after Emmit said he wanted a baby.

  With a quick glance down to my belly, I smiled at the idea of little baby growing in there.

  Emmit walked over and sat me down on the sofa and then he dropped down next to me. “What do you mean she’s in North Carolina? Are you sure?”

  I watched as Emmit’s hand pushed through his hair while he closed his eye
s and shook his head. “But if she was there . . . who gave the phone to the front desk?”

  My heart started beating so loud I could hear it in my ears, drowning out Emmit’s words.

  As I stood up, I turned to look at Emmit. He held up his finger as if telling me to hang on. “Find out for sure and then call me back.”

  Dropping the phone to the side of him onto the sofa, Emmit stood up and looked at me. There was nothing but confusion swimming in his eyes.

  “Stephanie has been in North Carolina this whole time. She’s working for the city as an administrative assistant. Every day for the last three weeks, she reported to work.”

  My eyes widened in horror. “What?”

  Emmit shook his head. “This doesn’t make sense. She must have hired someone to do all of this so it appeared she was completely innocent. How else would anyone know about where we were getting married or have my credit card number?”

  Thoughts raced through my mind. Emmit had to be right. Stephanie must have sent someone to do all of this to make herself look innocent.

  “Has anyone talked to her?” I asked as I watched Emmit quickly head to the bedroom.

  “Chris has. He said she seemed nervous, like she was for sure hiding something. When he asked her about the phone and the video, she stood up and told him to leave her house. Chris said Stephanie’s husband practically punched the living hell out of him.”

  Emmit grabbed both of our suitcases and motioned for me to take mine. “Are we leaving?”

  “Yeah, I’ll feel better when we are home and you’re safe.”

  My body shivered as I rubbed my hands down my arms. “You don’t think we’re safe? Do you think someone will try something?”

  Emmit sighed and turned to me. “Addie, someone shredded your wedding dress with a knife. They tracked us down here in the Bahamas’ and they sent you a fucking video of me trying to cause problems. Yes. I wouldn’t put it past them to try something else.”

  “But if it’s Stephanie, maybe she’ll stop knowing we are so close to her trail and—”

  “Damn it, Addie!” My body jumped when Emmit slammed the dresser drawer shut. “Will you just pack, please. The sooner we get out of here the better.”
