Kelsey grabbed my hand and squeezed. “I’ll get a hold of him. I promise. He might need to hear your voice though.”
“You know how hard it is that I asked you to call him in the first place. Please, Kelsey, I’m not sure I could make the call myself.” I pulled my hand away and looked at the grout that lined the tiles of the table.
“I don’t know the full extent of what happened between you two, but I’m guessing it wasn’t to pleasant, right?”
“He broke me. That’s all that needs to be said.” I looked away, glancing quickly across the street to see if the asshat was still perched on his post. That would be a positive.
What had happened between Devon or Devlin now, and me was something that I didn’t talk much about. That day, five years ago, was one of the worst in my life – well, with the exception of the predicament that I was in now. Devlin had come home and packed his bags, and left - without any explanation at the time - nothing. I still; didn’t fully understand what had caused him to leave so suddenly. I had heard rumors, but nothing concrete. He had been my life, and with one glance, he crushed everything that held me up, everything that we had built and fought for; even had Caroline left after he walked out.
“Hey, you in there?” Kelsey drummed her fingernails on the table attempting to get my attention.
“Sorry - slipped into some old memories.”
“I’ve got to go. Be there at two.” She pointed to my pocket and we said our goodbyes. I sat back down and ordered another cup of coffee, scrolling through the news on my phone, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. I sat at the cafe for another half an hour or so, until a larger group of people left -, one I could blend into as they walked away. This dodging people bullshit was starting to wear on me. I hoped he would answer or respond soon - otherwise I might not make my twenty-ninth birthday.

I ran back to the place I had been hiding out at - a small room in the back of a bistro that a friend of a friend of a friend owned. Yeah, that was a lot of friend of friends. I was trying to keep as many people out of my situation as possible, only calling on those that I knew could help. I grabbed my duffle bag, and left a thank you note with some cash as a token of my gratitude. I glanced at my watch, and knew I had roughly thirty minutes to get to the hotel. I jumped on the tube and headed toward the hotel. I made sure that I wasn’t being followed, and I wasn’t this time.
Kelsey was waiting in the lobby, and escorted me to the check in desk and arranged for the room for me. Connor Thornton was my alias - her cousin from out-of-town. Not sure how believable that was, being her father was well known across the world, but I went with it. Kelsey and I took the lift up to the one of the floors that held the suites, and we entered a two-room suite that overlooked the Thames. The view was breathtaking, and reminded me of the apartment Devlin and I had shared years ago.
“Alright. I put another call into him, and got his voicemail. I also called him at the club, leaving another message with Marcus. You said to be careful of what I said, so I kept it short and sweet.” She sat in one of the oversized chairs that were placed in the sitting room of the suite.
“Thanks. I’m not sure how I could repay you.”
“You could give me a few more mind-blowing orgasms, but right now I'll settle for you to stay alive.” Her voice was laced with a concern that I hadn’t heard before.
“I’m trying to, Kelsey. I really am,” I said, sliding into the chair next to her.
“Are you sure you don’t want to tell me about it?” She gave me a dominating stare - one that I quickly looked away from, as I knew I would break.
“Nope.”
“Okay. I’ll be back later. I have to go check on a few things, and get a few more in order. You good?”
“I’m fine. Promise.”
She nodded and stood up, heading towards the door. “I’ll be back later. Stay here.”
My turn to nod as I watched her leave. I decided to take a shower and a nap. It had been a while since I’d felt safe enough to sleep, a good sleep that is. I drew all the curtains before heading into the bathroom. The beige coloring was sleek and stylish, yet upscale.
The bathroom was three times the size of the room I had just left, and had a stand up shower, double skin, Jacuzzi tub, and two toilets. I turned on the water and let the steam fill the room as I got undressed and shaved my face. I took a moment to look at myself in the mirror - I had lost some weight; it was noticeable in my face. The tattoos that covered my arms were memories of everything that I’d held dear to me at one point in my life. My eyes zeroed in on the tiny set of initials that were wrapped by a Celtic cross. DW. I’d had them tattooed on me when we’d moved in together.
I shook the memories from my mind and stepped into the shower, standing directly under the hot stream of water. I stood like that for God knows how long, letting the heat soak into my muscles, washing away the stress of the last few weeks. The warmth felt good, the pulsating of the water on my back let me slip away - relax.
A little while later, I stepped out of the shower and dried off, making my way back to the bedroom area. I quickly checked the door in the main area of the suite, and added the additional lock - Kelsey probably would freak out on me later for it - but added security was needed. I walked back to the bedroom and slid into the bed, throwing the covers over my head. My sidearm was under the pillow, a cell phone on the nightstand. All I wanted was a few hours of sleep - catch up on what I had missed. I shout my eyes and drifted off.

A few hours later I woke to a pounding on the room door. Shit. I glanced at the clock – seven-thirty. Fuck me! I jumped from the bed, pulled on a pair of jeans, and headed to the door, unlocking it for a very irate Kelsey.
“What the fuck, you wanker. Are you trying to kill me as well?” She pushed her way into the room.
“And how would I kill you? I’m the one with a fucking hit man on my arse.” I shut and locked the door again - you could never be too safe.
“You gave me a heart attack when you didn’t answer.” She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. Having undone her coat, I could see she was wearing a black cat suit, and red high-heeled shoes. It was Friday, and she usually went to the club.
“Heading out for a night of fun?” I asked as I sat down next to her, running my hands through my hair.
“It’s Friday. Of course I am. I wanted to check in on you first.” Her hand ran up the length of my thigh.
“Yeah. I’m good. I was sleeping - first time in a while.” I turned my head to look at her, and she nodded in understanding.
“Listen, I have room service bringing you some food - they will knock on the door twice, and then knock again three times.”
“What the fuck? Do we have a secret decoder ring as well?” A slap came across my face, the sting registering immediately.
“Do you want to stay safe?” She had now stood, and had her hands on her hips, staring down at me.
“Of course, why do you think I came to you?”
“Well, obviously not for a little play,” Kelsey chuckled and winked. “Ah, remember the good days, when he let you play with me?”
A feeling of sadness washed over me briefly. “I try not to think about him.” I stood and walked to the bedroom to grab a shirt. Walking back to the main room, Kelsey was on her phone.
“Uh huh. Yep. Okay…no problem. I’ll call him now.” Random words of a one sided conversation. She shut the phone off.
“Who was that?” I asked, placing my arse back down on the couch.
“No one special. Listen, I have to run and pick up Ancilla. Kaiser is meeting us at the club at nine. If I hear anything, I’ll let you know.” She handed me a phone before she turned to leave. “It’s a burner phone. Call me if you need anything. Oh…I programed his number in as well.” Kelsey left before I could respond.
Why the fuck had she set me up like that? Five fucking years; I was unable to move on with m
y life, hide the pain - bury the hurt. Whatever had happened between us previously, there was still a part of my heart that yearned for him, for his strong hand running over the course of my body, how he held me after Caroline and us played…Memories that needed to stay buried.
I looked at the phone and pulled up his name. I hit the button.
“Fitzpatrick.”
“Devon…?”
“Devon…” A name that I had not heard in a long time was accompanied by the voice that had haunted my memories for the last four years of my life - the very thing I was avoiding was on the other end of a phone. What the fuck did he want?
“Aiden.” The silence that followed was unnerving.
“I…I’m sorry I called. Good bye.” The phone cut off as quickly as I realized who it was. I glanced over at the clock. Three-fifteen. It was eight-fifteen in London. I tried to call the number back and was unable to connect. Damn it! It must be set only to make out going calls. Hell, I had to give it to them - they did think. If Aiden was in as much trouble as I believed him to be, then Kelsey and him were thinking. Now, I needed to think about what the fuck I was going to do.
“Kelsey. I need to speak with you immediately.” Her phone had gone straight to voicemail, and I realized that it was Friday and she was most likely at The Playground.
“Who’s Kelsey?” A sweet feminine voice said. Ally. Shit, I forgot she was stopping by this afternoon.
“A business contact.” I stood from my desk and walked around to the front, pulling her close and placing a chaste kiss on the top of her forehead.
“Seems more than that to me.” Ally pulled away and looked at me. “What is going on? You haven’t seemed like yourself in a week or so?”
Her concern was touching,and a little difficult to manage at times. I had shut my emotions down when I’d walked out on Aiden and Caroline - leaving them and an entire life behind without a single explanation. Part of me knew that I’d have to face it one day, but I didn’t really want to face it now that I had Ally, and was attempting to finally start over. I sounded like a pussy - I knew that.
“I’m fine. So, how was class?” I asked, pulling a bottle of water from the mini fridge and handing it to her.
“I can’t wait for it to be over. Another month and I’ll be a graduate.”
I pulled her close to me again. “I know, and I couldn’t be more proud of you. Now, how about we lock the door…” I arched my eyebrows at her and quickly let go, walking over to my door to lock it. Turning back around, I eyed Ally, and began a predatory walk toward her. I watched as her body began to fidget, she dropped her bags by her sides, and watched as I made my way towards her.
A couple of large strides and I was in front of her, pulling her body flush to mine. She turned me on in a way that I had only felt with Caroline and Aiden.
“Pumpkin, see how hard you make me?”
I rubbed her hand over the bulge in my pants, and watched her head fall back, exposing the silky skin of her neck to me. I lowered my mouth to the area, lightly biting her flesh as I ground against her, my hands running up her back. I fused my mouth to hers, parting her lips with my tongue, devouring her taste. I thrust my tongue in and out of her mouth, my hands around her head, keeping her close to me. Ally’s hands made their way to my hair and entwined themselves within it, gently pulling as her body responded to mine.
I picked her up and made my way to the couch that sat on the sidewall of my office. Placing her down, I hovered over her, taking a moment to appreciate the body under mine.
“Sir…” Ally said as her body shifted.
“Oh, Pumpkin. I am going to make you feel so good. No screaming. Remember,Kieran is outside the door.” I made sure I reminded her of the audience in the room next to us. She didn’t have anything to worry about. Kieran knew the drill, and the door was frosted so that no one could see in.
“But first….” I pulled my cock out of my pants and stroked it a few times before pulling Ally’s mouth onto it. “That’s right, take me.”
She wet her lips and wrapped them around my shaft, moving up and down along its length - her tongue swirling around the head as she pulled away. She added pressure to the sucking as she brought my dick back into her mouth. I placed my hand on the back of her head and controlled her rhythm, testing her ability to deep throat me.
“Ah…that’s it, pumpkin. Keep that up and I won’t last long.” I moved my free hand down over her breasts, reaching under her shirt to pull them out. Running my fingers over her slightly erect nipples, I pinched the nubs between my fingers, pulling and twisting as I did. A moan vibrated against my dick, sending a shock of pleasure through my body. I pulled out from her mouth and quickly flipped her over, positioning her ass against my exposed manhood. I unbuttoned her pants and shimmied them down to her knees.
“No panties? Good girl.” Her body pushed back against mine as I ran my fingers over the outside of her labia, lightly teasing her aroused flesh, moving my hand up and down. I slid between her lips, feeling the heat and moisture of her arousal. Ally moaned as I hit her clit with my finger, flicking the sensitive bud.
“You are so wet for me. I love it.” I moved up and down again, circling the bundle of nerves with each stroke. “This is going to be quick. Tonight, I will be taking my time with you, making you come over and over again; hearing you scream my name each time.”
“S-i-r…” escaped as a long, almost breathless moan.
“That’s right, pumpkin.” I lined myself up behind her, placing the head of my cock at her opening. Wrapping my hands around either side of her hips, I pulled her roughly back on to me, impaling her onto my dick. A groan escaped from her lips as I buried myself completely into her.
I began to thrust in and out, focusing one hand on her clit, rubbing it, flicking it. My other hand ran up the course of her abdomen to her breast, hanging down as she was on her hands and knees on the couch. I ran her nipple between my fingers again, squeezing and twisting as I continued to move in a circular motion over her lower bud.
“Sir. Oh, my…”
“Shh, pumpkin. Don’t draw attention to the fact that I am fucking your sweet pussy while Kieran works outside. Her head fell forward, her body tensed as she was on the brink of an orgasm. “Don’t come yet.”
I heard her grunt as I continued to thrust in and out of her wet core. Her body continued to tense as she got closer and closer to her pleasure. I sped up the friction on her clit, and continued to pump into her.
“Bite the pillow. Whatever you do, pumpkin, don’t scream as you come.” I felt Ally’s body completely tighten around my cock, her fingers grasping the corners of a pillow, her mouth fused to it, as her body shook below me. Her orgasm took hold, and her body arched and relaxed, tightened and relaxed, as the waves of pleasure pulsed through her body. I grasped her hips again, and pounded into her pussy, pumping my release into her tightness.
“Ah…that’s right. So-o-o good.” I slowed the thrusts as Ally fell forward onto her stomach, pulling out as she fell. I walked to my desk and pulled out a napkin, cleaning myself up before walking back over to Ally. “Here you go, pumpkin. Clean up.” My phone started to ring as I finished securing myself back into my pants.
“Fitzpatrick.”
“You called.” Kelsey.
“I did, but I can’t talk now. I will call you back in a few.” I looked at Ally, who was staring at me now.
“I’m at the club - I won’t be around until later.” The voice confirmed what I had already known.
“Hold on.” I turned to Ally, putting the phone to my shirt to buffer the conversation. “Ally, I have to take this. Please excuse me. I’ll see you later.” A quick nod and I left my office, walking to the conference room. Shutting the door and locking it, I sat in one of the oversized leather chairs.
“What the fuck is going on?” I asked.
“He’s in trouble, sugar lips. He needs you.” I could hear the moans of another female in the background noise on the phone.
> “Why did you give him my number?”
“Is that why you are calling? Because I gave him your number? Your priorities are fucked up.” I could sense the annoyance in her tone.
“No, that’s only a partial reason I am calling. What the fuck is going on?”
“I don’t know. He’s in trouble and won’t tell me why. He was running with Ashworth’s crew…so I can only imagine what went down. He asked for you.”
Fuck, fuck, fuck! What the fuck was he doing working for Ashworth? “I tried to call him back.”
“Yeah, good luck with that. Do you think I’m stupid enough to allow calls to go to the phone?” The moans in the background were getting louder.
“Are you seriously playing while talking to me?”
“Well, you interrupted me, and I was in the middle of playing…not fair to my little submissive now, is it?” She laughed as I heard the woman cry out, as what I assumed was her orgasm crashed over her. “Now back to business.” Kelsey continued as if nothing had just happened.
“Are you licking your fingers as I talk to you?”
“Sucking more like it - damn she was wet. So, he needs you. Now.”
“Where is he?” I asked, pacing the conference room.
“Again, you think I’m stupid. He’s safe for now, but that’s all I’ll tell you over the phone. You want him, you want to know where he is…you need to come back, and you need to do it soon. I’m not sure how long I can keep him alive.”
“Fuck you, seriously.” My aggravation level was rising, and my free hand fisted at my side. She was forcing my hand, and I hated being forced to do anything. Yet, she knew how to push my buttons - our history not forgotten.
“You already did, sugar lips.” Kelsey crackled.
Yeah, I had.
I hung up the phone without any pleasantries. What the hell was I going to do now? A knock on the door broke my thoughts.
“Boss?” Kieran asked from the other side.
“Yeah?” I walked to the door and unlocked it, opening it up for him to come in. He didn’t. He stood at the doorway and pointed to Ally. FUCK! I had rushed out of my office without even thinking twice about her feelings. What a douchebag I was. I walked toward her, my arms outstretched.
