Pizza arrives and we eat, laughing at the mindless comedy on the television. Mid-way through, Aviana dozes off, her head falling down to land on my shoulder. This is my chance to get up and plant this camera, but feeling her against me, listening to her soft breath, it’s fucking nice. I sit there for a moment more, wondering how it would feel to have her doing this every damned day of my life.
Not bad, I’d imagine.
I carefully lay her down as I stand, and then I glance at her one more time before disappearing down the hall to her dad’s office. She happened to show me where the key was stashed when she showed me around, so I go and get it before entering. The office is dark, and I try to keep it that way, only using the flashlight on my phone to look around. I find a spot on his bookshelf where I can wedge the camera so that it won’t get seen.
I do that, turn it on, and then check on my phone that it’s working. It shows a live stream, and the sound is good, so I turn and have a look around. As suspected, her father isn’t leaving anything out. There is a massive safe that I have no doubt holds a lot of information, but you’d need a fucking bomb to get that open.
I leave the office and join Aviana on the sofa again. I check the camera and sure enough it’s working. My heart races, and I feel like a fucking criminal, but I have to do it. I have a bad gut feeling about what her father is up to, and I’m determined to get my answers, even if it means I’m lying to the only person I really like having around right now.
“Gosh,” Aviana groans, sitting up. “Did I fall asleep?”
“Yeah,” I say. “I should get going anyway, let you get to bed.”
“Oh,” she whispers, her eyes dropping to my mouth.
Fuck me.
She wants me to kiss her. It’s written all over her pretty face.
Fuck.
I can’t do that.
If I do, there is no going back.
I want this girl in my life, but not until I know what is going on. Not until I can be sure she’s safe. Only then will I take the next step, and fuck me, it’ll be a big one. I want nothing more than to lay her down on this sofa and let my body fall over hers, fucking her slowly, listening to her whimpers beneath me.
My dick twitches.
That’s my cue to get the fuck out of here.
Before I know what’s happening, Aviana leans forward and her lips are on mine. For a stunned second, I sit there, completely taken aback. I didn’t even fucking see her move and now her sweet fucking mouth is on mine.
Her lips move, softly, and her tongue creeps out, pressing itself against my lips. I can’t fucking stop the urges, and I find myself kissing her deeply, passionately, tongues fucking dancing, hand in her hair, the other on her waist. I pull her closer with a growl and kiss her like I’ll never fucking see her again.
She moans against my mouth.
Then she moves until she’s straddling me, rubbing her pussy against my cock.
Fuck.
I can’t be doing this.
I fucking can’t.
Not yet.
I pull my mouth from hers, place two hands on her hips, and stand, placing her on her feet. She stares at me in confusion and shock, and then her cheeks grow red and she looks away.
“Hey,” I say, grabbing her jaw. “This ain’t about you, I promise. I got somethin’ I have to do before we can take this further, but we will fuckin’ take this further. Do you understand me? I want you, more than you could fuckin’ understand.”
She looks back at me, and without question, she nods. “Okay.”
I run my thumb down her cheek, and then I let her face go before turning and walking out.
I need to finish this.
Now.
So I can have her exactly how I want her.
Fucking right next to me.
COHEN – NOW
“So, you’re tellin’ me that those two men are after Aviana?” Alarick asks, leaning against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Yep.” I nod. “I thought there might have been more, I knew about the two of them but figured they were workin’ for someone or maybe more people knew but I’m startin’ to think they’re the only two that know about what Aviana is sittin’ on and they’ve worked out she’s still alive and are goin’ to try again.”
“Can you be sure there is no one else?”
“At this point, no, but I’m fairly certain there isn’t. I’m goin’ to do some more diggin’, see if I can find out more. I want to get my hands on those two fuckers, it’s the only way we’ll get our answers.”
