“You’ll tell me whatever I want to fucking hear, and then some…” Brian seemed to shake, his body on the verge of a mental breakdown or some shit.
“Seth… He ummm… He has the girl, his angel he calls her….” An evil laugh fell from my lips. Angel? Who was this dude? Didn’t he know the dirty little things she liked? I narrowed my eyes, unless… She had to be someone from his past.
“Does he know who I am?” I had to know if he knew about me like I knew about him. The element of surprise would be gone if he did, but then again, when you stole from me the surprise was already gone. He knew I would be after him, and if he didn’t then he deserved to die.
“He….” Brian looked between Luis and me, his fear overflowing. “He knows who you are but he sent me to get more information on you...” I trained my eyes to the floor, rubbing at my jaw as I tried to decide what was going to happen next. We needed to send Seth a warning and even more than that, we needed to let him know that we knew he had Taylor.
“I need all the information on Smith Industries. I want to know if we’ve worked with them before and what kind of business they conduct.” I spoke to Luis who lifted his chin in understanding.
“What now? Will you let me go? I gave you all the information I had…” I could see the panic rising, just on the verge of bubbling out of him.
“You’ve been caught by a branch of the Russian Mafia spying on us, and you want me to let you go?” I laughed. “You’re joking, right?” I lifted an eyebrow at him. The blood drained from his face, making his skin a ghostly white color.
“I gave you what you wanted though…” His voice cracked. He did give me what I wanted but he also crossed a line by sneaking into my establishment to get information on something he had no business being a part of…
I walked around the desk, my fist trailing along the wood. I would love to say I hated being the bad guy but I didn’t. I didn’t care how it made me look if I destroyed someone else’s life.
If your path crossed mine in life there was a reason and it was probably a good one. Therefore, anyone who got to meet their maker because of me probably deserved it.
“Pity what I want is the girl that your boss decided to take from me. Yet here we are without her. So I guess someone else has to pay for the damage that’s been caused.” I meet Brian’s fearful stare right before swinging my fist, landing it precisely against his jaw. The sound of bone cracking filled the room as Brian tipped over in the chair he had been sitting in. Blood dripped out of the side of his mouth and onto the floor.
“Really asshole, on my marble floor?” I snarled, kicking him in the side. Someone had to pay the price and as sad as it was that it had to be this guy, that was just how life worked. There was always someone taking the blame and covering someone else’s ass.
I stared down at Brain, pain lacing his features as he tried to speak. I squatted down on my heels so he could see my face and hear what I was about to say.
“You tell your boss that he’s stolen from the Russian Mafia and that we will be contacting him to get our property back….” I clenched and unclenched my fist, letting the feeling I got from punching the dumbass in the face fester.
More blood dripped to the floor and I made a gesture for Luis to get him out of my office before I started digging him his grave. He was lucky this was the worst that had happened to him.
Brian didn’t fight as Luis forced him off the floor and out of my office. I cracked my knuckles and rolled my shoulder, letting all the stress I was feeling roll off of me. As the leader I couldn’t be stressed, I had a lot of fucking men counting on me and an empire to run. This asshole stealing from me wasn’t going to make me look very strong in the eyes of my people but I would manage.
I would get Taylor back, and then I would make her and this fucker pay for crossing me. I had done her a favor by taking her in and letting her parents live while she paid off her father’s debt but now, now I would end her and the guy she dragged into this mess.
I stared at the reddening skin across my knuckles. I couldn’t wait to make them both pay for what they had done.
Chapter Seven
Seth
My grip on the steering wheel was tight as I navigated us to Red Ridge Park. Through therapy I discovered that I needed a quiet place to go to when things seemed to be getting hard and while on the road it was hard to stay consistent until I found this place.
“A park? Seriously?” Taylor seemed a bit surprised but she had no idea what I had in store for us today. I wanted to take her hiking and on a picnic. I wanted her to see me for me. Yeah everything was going to hell around us, but that wasn’t anything new for me. My life was headed to hell the day I was born.
“Not just a park, Angel. There is a lot of stuff you don’t know about me. Things that I’ve done to change the person I was… This place…” I paused, my eyes lingering on the trees and bench that I always sat at when I came here. “It’s my safe place. The place I come to when the entire world seems like it’s falling apart around me.”
My eyes shifted back to Taylor’s, a tender look crossed her features and I knew she understood how much this place meant to me.
“Okay, but that doesn’t explain why we’re here when the leader of the Russian Mafia is hot on our tails.” I killed the engine of the SUV and pocketed the car keys all while opening my door.
“Follow me and you’ll find out.” I smirked, enjoying the fact that I was the only one that knew what was going on.
As soon as I was out of the SUV and out of sight, the sound of the passenger side door opening met me ears.
Maybe she did still trust me?
“Seth, this isn’t a good idea. If Antonio finds us out here there will be no getting away from him.” Her concern for our lives was cute. A tiny bit of laughter erupted from my chest.
“Don’t worry about him. Not here, not now, not with me. I want you to focus on us. We can run tomorrow. ” I took her small hand in mine, my heart beating thunderously in my ears. All I wanted was this moment with her, this short amount of time for us to just be normal because tomorrow anything was possible but today, today could be just for us.
“If this is what you want…” She seemed a bit apprehensive but gripped my hand tightly in hers. I was beaming from the inside out with happiness as I guided us in the direction of the bench. I was going to tell her about the things I had done to let go of my past. The man I used to be still lingered inside me but he was more dormant than he ever used to be.
“When I said I changed I wasn’t lying. I’m not the same person I used to be. I’ve let go of a lot of things that happened to me in my life. I held onto the things my father did to my brother and me for longer than I ever needed to.”
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to Seth. I can tell you’re different now. The man you were before never would’ve come back for me.” I licked my lips as I stared deeply into her blue depths. I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to take away the time that had passed between us and I wanted to destroy the bad things that would take place because of the choices that I had made.
“I went to therapy for months. It wasn’t until a bad night of drinking where I considered committing suicide that I decided I needed help….” I could feel the emotions from that night coming to the surface.
“No Seth.” Taylor lifted a hand to her mouth as the tears started to form in her beautiful eyes.
“It wasn’t my proudest moment but it was one I needed to experience….” I sucked in a breath before continuing on. “I wanted to tell you this because I’m sorry I let you go. I’m sorry you’ve experienced all of these horrible things because of me.” I felt like a pussy talking the way I was but I couldn’t let go of the fact that I felt like I was responsible for what happened to her or what would happen.
“Seth this isn’t on you. This is on my father.” Taylor tried to defend me and as sweet as it was, I knew deep down that I was partially to blame for all of this, and when Antonio came for us
whatever occurred would land on my shoulders.
“I didn’t realize what I had until I let you go and then when you were gone. I got lonely…” I fucking hated going back in time in my mind and remembering how lost and wrong I was. My father had really fucked me up and nothing, not even my brother or his wife could pull me out of my stupor.
“I did some bad shit and made some even shittier choices.” I was slipping back into the memories of my past.
“Don’t blame yourself. Not for me. What’s done is done. I want to live for now. I want this with you, even if all we get is today.” Taylor took my face in her hands, pulling my face into hers. Our lips were so close I could almost taste her. Her sweet floral scent washed over me. She smelled just like she did the day I bought her. There was nothing that could make that smell go away.
“I want to kiss you but more than that, I want to turn back time and change things for us. I want to be a better fucking person for you.” Something in my chest cracked, and all the blackness inside me drained out.
“Then kiss me…” Her breath fanned against my lips and my control snapped, evaporating into the air. Before I realized what I was doing I pounced my lips against hers, pressing firmly. There was a passion, a soul searing fire that consumed me when our lips touched. I didn’t want the kiss to stop but I also knew that I didn’t bring her out here just to fuck her on a bench. I wanted this to be a memorable day for both of us.
Gripping her by the shoulders gently, I stopped the kiss before it could grow deeper. She whimpered in a feeble attempt to get me to keep going but I held my ground knowing I could have her when we got back to the house.
“As badly as I would love to fuck the goodness out of you right here on this park bench, I just can’t… Not when I didn’t bring you out here to fuck you.” I brushed a strand of her blonde hair out of her face, tucking the soft lock of hair behind her ear.
She nibbled on her bottom lip like she was going to try and persuade me to change my mind.
“You mean to tell me Seth Smith doesn’t think with just his cock anymore?” A soft laugh filled the air and I almost shit myself when she said the word cock. Sweet little Taylor wasn’t so naïve anymore, and even though I knew she had changed over the time that separated us, I never expected her to have such a dirty mouth.
“Oh I think with my cock a lot, hell I’m partially thinking with it now…” I couldn’t help but smile in response to her comment. She knew me well, and I partially thanked her for being the light I needed when shit got too dark.
“I can see that…” She cleared her throat, her hand gliding down over the large bulge in my pants.
“Keep touching me like that and you’ll find yourself across this bench with your dress pushed up over your ass…” I warned, knowing that I should stop her before things got to be too much. Still I was so caught up in her touch and the soft little breaths she took as she squeezed my cock.
“Maybe I want to be taken over the bench… Maybe I want you to own me Seth.” My head was all over the place and most definitely not where it needed to be. Yeah, I hadn’t brought her out here to fuck her but I didn’t have to fuck her. I could taste her. I could finger her… I could punish her?
“You really want to be punished, don’t you?” I would never hurt my angel the way Antonio had and I knew she knew that. Gripping her hand tightly in mine I guided us into the wooded area off to the left side of the park. In all the months I had been coming here I had seen maybe two or three people. This place was off the beaten path, which meant getting caught together would be slim to none.
She licked her lips in anticipation and as soon as we were out of the sight of any passerbyers, I was on her like a man thirsty for love. Our lips collided and my fingers dug into her soft supple skin. I wanted to leave a brand on her skin, showing that Antonio asshole that she was mine.
“Seth…” The way she moaned my name had me on the verge of cuming.
“I’ve missed you so much… your touch and taste.” I bit her bottom lip forcing her to open up for me. “The way you melt beneath my touch. You’re just as sexy and sweet as you were the day I bought you…”
“I need you…” she pleaded as her head tipped back against the tree trunk. I dropped down to my knees and lifted her ass up, sliding her back up the tree. A shriek of excitement ripped from her throat as she gripped onto my shoulder tightly, holding on as if I would drop her.
“Don’t worry, Angel…. The only thing you have to worry about is getting me out from underneath your dress,” I mumbled, lifting her dress and honing in on her pussy. A pair of plane cotton panties covered my meal for the day.
Very slowly and gently I pulled them down her thighs and off, tossing them to the ground.
“Hey, I need those….” she protested but soon shut up as I lifted her higher up the tree, setting her calves on my shoulders to gain better access to her pussy.
“You don’t need any panties in my presence. Hell, you’re lucky you’re still wearing clothes…” I dove in, my tongue slipping between her folds and flicking against the sweet little bud that drove her to exhaustion.
“Oh God!!!” She tried to hide the moan from her voice but I took it as a challenge, knowing if I could get her to scream before I got her off then I was doing my job. Without warning I slipped two fingers deep inside her tight hole…
Holy fuck, she was already dripping for me.
“You wanted this, didn’t you? You naughty fucking girl…” I mumbled against her clit, sucking on the bud until her fingernails were buried in my scalp, the pain only adding to the pleasure. Her hips bucked against my face causing the two fingers I had seated inside her to go deeper.
“I….” Her voice wobbled and I sucked harder wanting to hear her screams of pleasure. “FUCK!!!!” A scream ripped from her throat as she fell apart against my hand and tongue, her salty release exploding in my mouth.
“That’s right, give me it all….” I growled, wanting to sink my cock deep inside her pussy.
“I need more Seth…” she panted and I knew what she was asking me for. She wanted me, not my fingers or tongue but me and my cock. Releasing my hold on her thighs, I pulled my fingers out of her and settled her feet onto the ground. She growled in protest as I pulled away from her.
“Don’t worry princess, I got you…” I turned her around and undid my pants. I didn’t have a condom but I didn’t care. That wasn’t going to stop me from owning her like I had always wanted to.
“Seth… I need you…” I came undone with a need to possess her like I never had before. With my hand at her belly I arched her back out and pulled my cock out of my pants, centering the fucker at her entrance.
“Hold onto the tree and whatever you do, don’t let go. I’ll try and be gentle…” I barely got the words out, my entire body was shaking with need as I slipped the head of my cock into her warm hole. She was so tight and perfect and I wanted this to be the most memorable thing to happen to her.
“Please…” Her pleading voice was my undoing. I slammed into her to the hilt, my hand at her hip was almost bruising.
“Slow…” I growled, placing a kiss against the back of her head. I felt nothing but my Angel when I was eight inches deep inside her. I knew I was home as soon as I sunk into her. Against my wishes she pulled away a bit and slammed back against my cock, causing pleasure to zing up my spine.
“I want more…” she purred, like the temptress she was. I felt my belly flipping as I let her control the pace, her pussy taking as much of my cock as it wanted. My nails scrapped across her soft flesh as she upped the pace.
“Fuck me… Angel.” I was breathless as the pleasure in my belly spiraled out of control. My teeth ground together and my toes curled in my shoes as the sound of her ass slapping against my thighs filled the air.
“I’m cuming….” she moaned. My fingers wove into her hair forcing her head back. My teeth nipped at the tender flesh of her earlobe…
“Cum all over my cock, Princess. I want yo
ur release to coat my dick….” She fell apart right then and there, her tight cunt squeezing the life out of me. A few hard strokes later and I was doing the same, my hot release shooting deep inside her. The connection I had with her was stronger than it ever had been before and all because of this moment that we shared together.
“I fucking love you, Angel.” I couldn’t even believe the words that came out of my mouth. Taylor pulled away from me, twisting around in my embrace. Tears lingered in her eyes and I wasn’t sure why… Was it because I was too rough? Or was it because she was worried about the future that we may or may not have together?
“I’ve wanted this forever….” Her voice cracked. “Thank you for giving me this moment with you.” Her lips crashed into mine sealing our fates together forever. I wasn’t ever leaving her, and I was never going to give up on her. Not for Antonio or anything else. I would give up the entire world to keep her with me.
She was my Angel, my saving grace, and I would protect her until my very last breath. I would never let anything come between us.
Not even our pasts.
Chapter Nine
Taylor
Having sex with Seth was more than I ever expected it to be. He healed me from the inside out, without even realizing it. Every stroke pieced a part of my soul back together. He mended my broken heart when I needed it most and even though I knew that we faced a bleak future together, I let him have the whole day with me.
After making love in the woods he cleaned me up and we went for our hike. Smiles lingered on both our faces. Tomorrow could bring us both death but that didn’t matter today, not when we had these last few hours together.
“Can I just tell you thank you for kidnapping me?” I laughed, happiness bubbling right out of me.
“Kidnapping you?” Seth raised an eyebrow at me. “I owned you before he ever got his hands on you so it’s him that kidnapped you, not me. I was simply taking my girl back.” I was a mushy mess whenever he talked about me being his. I could see our entire future playing out before our eyes, all we had to do was get around Antonio and his goons.
