Kept (Bound Book 1)

by Leona Keyoko Pink

  “I’ll let you drive.” said Cage, as they reached his sports car.

  “Really?” said Autumn, going to the driver's seat of the sports car.

  “Oh, no.” said Cage, shaking his head. “I’ll let you drive the golf cart. But nobody drives this baby but me. Not even Fredric. Had it specially flown out for today.”

  “You're kidding me, right? That must have cost a fortune.” said Autumn.

  “Ehh.” said Cage, as he walked around to the passenger side. “Only cost me the fuel. I own a few planes.”

  Autumn shook her head. Cage opened her door and she got in. Once she got in, he slid across the hood of the car before getting in. He started up the engine and listened to the car purr a bit before he said, “Besides, it's worth it to make today perfect. There isn’t anywhere we can’t go, and anything we can’t do.”

  Cage looked at Autumn intensely and she had to look away. Sometimes when he really stared at her it made her feel odd. Cage pulled out of the parking spot and took them on a drive. He showed Autumn just how fast his car could go for about an hour. Autumn had to admit she loved the wind whipping through her hair.

  When they were finished driving around they stopped to have some ice cream before they went to the movie theater. There were a lot of people inside, as it was hot outside and cool in the theater. The theater was fancy and had couches to sit on. Autumn and Cage shared a drink and some popcorn as they watched an action packed movie.

  Autumn used to love action movies, but after the last two years of her life they'd lost most of their appeal. Still, this movie had a lot of jokes in it that Autumn enjoyed and she spent most of the show giggling.

  When they got out the sun was going down. Cage suggested they go back to the beach. Together the two walked along the wet sand with their bare feet and watched the setting sun glisten across the water. Every so often Autumn would see Fredric in the distance with a camera, taking pictures. When she asked Cage why, he told her it was so she could have souvenirs to hang on her wall. Autumn looked out at the water and the sky and thought there was no greater picture than the one she saw with her own eyes. No greater souvenir than what she kept in her memory.

  When the stars and the moon began to come out, they walked back to the beach house. They had a late steak supper on the patio outside. When they were full, and their plates were clear, they snuggled up under a blanket and watched the night sky. Torches and a bonfire were lit for them. Autumn watched the fire grow and listened to it crackle as the wood was slowly burnt up.

  At one point Cage ran into the beach house. When he came back he had marshmallows with chocolate inside for them to roast. Autumn's fingers got sticky and Cage cleaned them off with his mouth. In the firelight he looked different. For a second, as she stared into his ice blue eyes, she felt her heart skip a beat. She supposed it was the three glasses of wine she’d had with dinner, or the fact that they’d had a nice day. She hadn’t actually expected to enjoy herself, but there were a lot of things she hadn’t expected in her life.

  Cage kissed the back of her neck as he brushed a hand over her chest. She knew what he wanted as he ran his other hand through her hair, pulling the strands to his nose so he could smell her. She knew she would give it to him. She told herself it was because of what he was doing for her, for Byron.

  It was true Bryon still had his family debt to pay, but this way he could be a doctor most of the time. He could almost do what he wanted, what he liked. It was true he might be called on from time to time as he was needed, but this was still a chance for something more. At least until Autumn could get Cage to let him go completely.

  Autumn knew Cage was doing something big for her. While it didn’t seem like a lot to change Byron’s position from a guard to a doctor, it really was. It went against the rules, and surely others would take notice of the special attention he was giving Byron. Surely others would question what Cage was doing.

  She wondered if, in time, she couldn’t change Cage and make him a better man. She knew it was a foolish idea, but maybe she could. Maybe she could change his entire world and make it a better one. Cage looked at Autumn as he kissed and caressed her. He could see she was lost in thought and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

  Autumn considered telling him, but she knew it would just start a fight. She wondered what she should tell him and thought of their earlier conversation about him being with other women. If she was going to try not to hate him so much, she didn’t want him with those other women. It made her feel worthless, and she didn’t see the point of him having her around if he was just going to fuck them. Why didn’t he just fuck them all the time instead of her? Autumn sighed and Cage put a hand under her chin. He gently lifted her head so she would look at him and said, “Autumn…”

  Autumn knew she had to respond. She looked him in the eyes as she said, “I don’t want you with any other women. Not just when I’m around, but all the time.”

  Cage looked at her studying her expression before he simply said, “Okay then. Only you.” Then he leaned in and kissed her. It was a long, drawn out kiss. When he pushed his tongue into her mouth she didn’t fight him or shove him away. She moaned, taking him in as he cupped and squeezed her breasts over her clothing.

  They let the blanket fall off of them as he pulled at her dress. He lifted it up and over her head before letting it drop to the ground. She was wearing nothing but her bikini, and Cage took his time taking it off. He pulled at the strings with his teeth, slowly untying them in the firelight.

  When she was naked before him, he took her in with his eyes like she was the only woman in existence. She reached out to him, pulling him to her. They kissed once more. This time Autumn pushed her tongue into his mouth. Cage groaned as he reached out for her breasts. He squeezed one and then the other before taking them in his mouth. He licked and sucked the nipples until they were hard. Autumn tilted her head back and thrust her chest forward as she cooed at his touch.

  She let herself go, let herself feel every sensation as she gave in to the moment. Cage caressed her body, kissing her neck and rubbing her shoulders. Autumn pressed her body against his. When he pulled away, she was caught off guard. She felt a sudden rush of cold even though the fire was blazing only a few feet away. She looked at Cage, wondering what he was doing as he got to his feet.

  Without a word he took her in his arms. He lifted her up and carried her into the beach house. Through the open sliding glass door, past the dining room, and down the hallway, he brought her into the bedroom. Dozens of candles lit the room and rose petals covered the floor and the bed. Autumn briefly wondered when he’d had time to do this. If he’d done this. Cage placed her gently on the bed and she didn‘t care how it came to be.

  He removed his over shirt and then his tank top. Autumn sat up. She reached out for his black shorts. She helped him unbutton them and pull them down, until he was just in his tight black speedo-like underwear. It was a tight fit as hard as he was. She pulled at the thin fabric and it peeled off him, revealing his member.

  She could hear the waves outside and see the shadows dance across the room as he climbed into bed with her. Together the two laid on the bed, kissing and caressing each other. She let her hands fall over the curves of his stomach muscles as he ran his hands along her back.

  She didn’t hold back as she kissed and caressed him. Instead of just laying there or refusing to interact, she let herself explore the moment, touching him in ways she had never touched him before, going places she had never gone before. He seemed to be enjoying himself as he moaned and groaned with pleasure. She told herself she just wanted to please him so that he would keep his word and fulfill their deal. She didn’t want him to have any excuses not to.

  Cage turned on his back and let Autumn explore him for several minutes. He watched her, studying how she moved, how she made love. Autumn kissed Cage’s chest and ran her hands down his arms as she made her way to his stomach and then his member. It was poised in the air and, at this point
she smiled, glad she’d had that third glass of wine. Without hesitation she took him into her mouth, moving her tongue around his member. She sucked and pulled on him.

  Cage looked at her, realizing she’d been holding back on him the other day. Her heart really hadn’t been into it, and now he could see what it took to get her going. He twisted and moaned as she bobbed her head up and down on his member. She stopped at the top and looked at him as she sucked on it, lightly tonguing him.

  Cage looked into her eyes and leaned forward, sitting up. He grasped her hair and pulled her to him rather roughly until her lips met his. He kissed her powerfully as he took her in his arms. He rolled her on her back so he was on top of her in bed. Pulling back from the kiss he looked at her and said, “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

  Autumn looked at him, knowing it was a line. Surely there were more beautiful women than her, but the way he said it and how he said it was so sincere. It was as if he really thought she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. It got her heart beating fast as she found herself hot and flustered. She didn’t know how to respond. He’d said nice things to her before, but never like this. She parted her lips, feeling she should say something, but before she could speak he covered her lips with his own.

  From her lips he moved to her cheeks as he caressed her breasts. He went to her chin, then her neck before her arms, chest, and stomach. He threw himself into each and every kiss as he made his way between her legs. He parted them gently and she thought he was going to pull up and enter her. But he continued his kisses until he made it between her legs.

  She moaned and shook as his tongue lightly flicked across her clitoris. She grabbed the sheets, wanting to close her legs at the sensation, but he wouldn’t let her. Burying his head between her legs he licked, kissed, and sucked. She could feel her body weaken to his touch and knew she was losing control as unbridled passion grew within her.

  She felt the urge to fight it, to resist it. Even thought she told herself she was letting go, this was too much. This was too far. She bit her lip as she attempted to stifle her moans. Cage’s tongue was relentless licking nearly every inch of her before diving inside her. When he added his fingers and licked her clitoris once more she knew there was no stopping it.

  She let go, allowing herself to moan out loudly. Her entire body felt like it was melting as waves of pleasure shook her to the core. She swooned and moaned as he continued to work her. She told herself it was okay, that this was all just part of the deal she had promised him. No fighting, no struggling. She was just keeping her side of things.

  Autumn let go of the sheets, unballing her fists as the wave slowly washed through her. When she was relaxed and sleepy, he entered her hard and slow, causing her to wake as she felt him reach deep inside her. His strokes were strong. As he thrust into her, Autumn looked up at Cage. She admired his knowledge, his power.

  She wrapped her legs around him as he drew close to her. She pulled him in with her arms as she felt him sink deeper and deeper within her. She kissed and caressed his face as he pulled out slightly before thrusting deeply within her once more, jerking her body from the bed. His eyes were always on her as he moved. He watched her, seeing how she gave into the pleasure of her body.

  The room was quiet as the waves crashed outside. Autumn wrapped her arms around Cage and started to dig her nails into his back as she felt herself coming close once more. She began to thrust her hips to meet his as she made eye contact with him. The two stared at each other intently as they pounded against each other.

  Cage smirked after a minute or two. He seemed to have an idea. Autumn could see the mischievous look in his eyes. Without warning he turned them both so that Cage was on bottom and Autumn was on top. For a moment she froze, not sure what to do at first. Her climbing climax slowly simmered as she stared at him.

  She’d had sex like this before, but never with Cage. He looked at her as if he was testing her to see if she would do what he wanted. Autumn scowled at his challenge before she sat up on him. With him still inside her she began to thrust her hips back and forth. Cage smiled at her with satisfaction. He moved his hands to her hips and then her breasts. Autumn let her head fall back as she arched her back, displaying her breasts. Cage enjoyed seeing them in the candlelight.

  Autumn began to pick up her pace as Cage moaned and groaned. For a moment she looked down at him and felt powerful. She felt in control. She ran her nails over his skin and rested her hands on him for support. She lifted herself up and then dropped herself back down on him.

  Cage shook and his eyes weakened. He looked like he was going to cum right then and there, but he reached out for her, pulling her to him. He was strong and she soon found her chest against his chest. She wondered what he was doing. Then he titled his head forward, kissing her. He placed his hands on her hips, holding her body to him as she rode him. Then he began to thrust up into her.

  Autumn felt herself growing hot once more as he found her special spot. She moaned weakly as she let herself lay on him. She let him roughly fuck her as she enjoyed the sensation. After a minute Cage turned them once more to where he was on top of her. He quickly went into action then, thrusting and pounding her body into oblivion.

  He could feel she was close as her muscles tightened. He knew it was only a matter of time as he moved to where she liked it the most. Autumn cried out over and over again as she dug her nails into his back. She wrapped her legs around him and clung to him with all her might, wanting to feel him as deep as she could inside her.

  Her second orgasm ripped through her like a mighty earthquake. Every muscle in her body felt like it was being consumed as she screamed out. Her body clenched tightly against Cage's member as he grunted. She was sure he was going to cum as her body pulsed and squeezed against him, but he held tight, riding her tremor until the end. She couldn’t believe his stamina as she fell limp in the bed. Every muscle in her body was weak from her pleasurable release.

  She could hear her heart pound in her chest. She didn’t think she could take much more of this as Cage pulled out. He easily flipped her onto her stomach as her body gave into whatever he wanted. He pulled her hips to meet his member and sunk into her once more. It hit her deep, touching her core. Autumn moaned and whimpered, knowing there was still more to come. It was just too much.

  Cage leaned forward as he grasped her hips tightly. He geared up for one last round as he began to thrust within her. Autumn’s body was sensitive and it didn’t take long for a third and even a fourth orgasm to pulse through her. They weren’t as powerful as the first two, quickly coming and going. Autumn cried out, crawling forward as he seemed to be able to go on forever. He pulled her back to him each time, thrusting more and more. His body sweated as his heart raced and she felt him growing stiffer.

  He rammed into her as he finally let himself go. Autumn could feel him burst inside her as he cried out, shaking with his own earth shattering orgasm. He dug his nails into her hips as he just held her tightly to him. His member pumped and twitched inside her and she was filled with such warmth. It seeped into every corner of her and she hummed with a fifth and final orgasm that made her body tingle and with pleasure.

  She felt like she was in a hot bath. All her cares and troubles went away as Cage collapsed on her. She didn’t realize how exhausted he was until a few minutes later, when she realized he’d passed out. Autumn laughed, pulling out from underneath him. She barely had any energy herself as she turned to lay beside him.

  For several minutes Autumn just laid there, dozing in the pleasure of their sex. She looked at Cage and the shadows on the ceiling as she closed her eyes. Cage woke briefly and she opened her eyes, wondering for a moment if he’d really passed out. He turned himself to look at her, his eyes sleepy.

  He wrapped and arms around her and she allowed him to spoon her. He lightly kissed the back of her neck as he laid his head behind her and when she closed her eyes once more she barely heard him say, “I love you.�

  **********

  The next morning she woke as the sun was coming up. Cage was laying next to her with his arms wrapped around her. It was unusual for him to still be there, but to be fair yesterday had been strange in itself. It had been the longest normal experience she’d had with him. The first time where the two really hadn’t fought or struggled against each other. Yesterday they had just been two people on a date. And the sex… After two years this was the first morning she’d woken not feeling guilty about how he’d made her body feel. She turned to face him and remembered the last thing he’d said to her.

  He’d told her he loved her. Autumn furrowed her brow. She couldn’t remember if he’d ever said it to her before. He’d said she was his a million times, but had he ever said he loved her? Especially like that. True, it was after sex, so maybe it didn’t count. But still it got her thinking. Did he really love her? Could he? Surely not…

  Autumn watched him sleep and wondered how she felt about him and about what he said. She realized she wasn’t sure how she felt in that moment or how she was supposed to feel about him. It took her a few minutes to decide she didn’t hate him. She might not even dislike him. But to say she liked him was a far, far stretch. Still, the thought weighed heavy on her mind as she wondered just how she felt about him. Cage woke a few minutes later. They showered and got dressed before they had a light breakfast. Fredric greeted them and drove them back to the airport.

  The jet ride back was business as usual. Cage was on his phone and had a laptop in his lap. Autumn was quiet as she thought everything over. When they got to the tower Cage stepped out of the elevator. She assumed he would just go straight to his office without a word. Yet he waited for her to step out as well. As the elevator doors closed, Cage turned to her and smiled. He pulled her into him and kissed her softly, brushing his lips against hers several times before he let her go.

  Autumn found her chest go tight and her face felt hot. Cage brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and said, “I’ll see you at dinner.”
