Zoey

I laid around the whole morning missing him terribly. I roamed around the house thinking about all the things I could do to this place. As much as I thought it was bare, I also realized it was great the way it was. It said Mike, as minimal as everything was there were things that were friendly, just like him and huge as well, like seriously I didn’t know they made TVs that big. It was the size of the wall. If I didn’t know better I would think he was trying to overcompensate for something lacking.

I didn’t have things I wanted to change yet. So I looked into a few schools. There were some that still had open enrollment. Since I had most of that stuff in emails I had sent out, I just copied and pasted most of that stuff into the applications. Mike had some high tech computers and gave me the login info for one of the laptops. I had applied to at least five schools. I even sent some to schools outside of Boston and that was where my big problem began. I had just started getting ready for dinner when I heard the front door slam.

“Zoey! Where the fuck are you?!” I came out of the bathroom half dressed.

“Why hello Mike! Nice to see you too!” I said sarcastically.

“Don’t give me it’s nice to see you shit. What the fuck are you doing looking for colleges outside of Boston!?” Damn he was pissed. Wait how did he know? I thought.

“How the fuck did you know?” I thought about the fact that it was his computer he gave me this one to use intentionally. “You were checking up on me! How dare you!? You talk about Milo’s trust issues, but you are a hell of a lot worse!” I screeched.

“You still didn’t answer my fucking question. Why would you do that?”

“Don’t talk to me like that. Are you always going to be spying on me? Are there cameras everywhere? I didn’t know you would be monitoring my keystrokes. You’re something else.” I huffed.

I grabbed my jeans and a tee shirt. “What fuck are you doing?”

“I’m getting dressed. I’m not going out to dinner now. So excuse me.” I walked into the bathroom and started getting dressed. I couldn’t control the tears that had started to come down hard. He didn’t trust me at all. I haven’t given him a reason. Was I wrong to move this fast with him? It was about thirty minutes later when he pounded on the door. “Come on Zoey. I’m taking you home.”

I think my heart just broke.

I scurried out of the bedroom to see my bag packed haphazardly, and he had a small one too. I guess he was done with me. Was this his excuse to end things? I kept my head down and didn’t say a word. He had his hand on his phone texting and emailing the whole time, as a driver took us to the airport. I refused to look at him and he didn’t seem bothered by it, one bit.

We reached my parent’s house by midnight, and I ran up to my room and locked the door without saying a word to anyone. I didn’t want questions. I couldn’t handle anyone asking why I was here and in tears.

Chapter 14
Mike

As I watched her run up the stairs all I wanted to do was run after her and figure out what the fuck went wrong with us, but my brother and April needed me a hell of a lot more.

“Hey, we got all the guys we could together in short notice. They are at April’s apartment. Here is the address.” Jackson said anxiously.

“Do me a favor. Take care of my woman for me. Don’t let her talk to no guy, especially Rick. Keep her safe for me.”

“She is my sister of course I’ll keep her safe. What happened? She was upset.” He look at me accusingly.

“We had a big fight when Milo called. When I get back, she and I are going to have a strong heart to heart, I’m not going to let her leave me.” I said with conviction.

I hustled out of the door and into the car and gave my driver the directions. The entire ride I thought about Zoey. Fuck this was not fucking good. I was just about to leave the office when my tech guy asked if there was someone staying at my house because they were downloading a lot of applications. I knew she was looking at schools in Boston, but I didn’t expect her to be searching and applying to schools at least an hour away. What the fuck? I didn’t know what to think. She hadn’t seemed unhappy this morning, but what if she had gotten bored and life in Boston wasn’t going to work for her. It was her first time away from me and everyone in her family.

When she accused me of not trusting her I had seen the horrible pain in her eyes, and I had been stunned. Then she decided to cancel our date and that pissed me off. I wanted to ask her to marry me properly, tonight. I had held the box in my hand the whole ride home by the time I got there I felt broken and defeated. She went into the bathroom. I thought that we could talk it out when she was done, but then Milo called.

April had been kidnapped and that was all I knew. Milo was frantic, and I went into soldier mode. I had been planning and plotting with my men and in my head. When I finally had a moment to think I’d seen the tears through her reflection, once she caught me looking she turned even further from my view.

I was confused. I didn’t understand why she was so mad. It was one of my things, of course I would want things secure when I left the house. There were lots of security measures I had set up. I didn’t realize it would be a big deal when she tried to cut and run.

I didn’t know how to make it better. All I knew was that until this was resolved with April, I had to focus on my mission. Lack of concentration could be deadly. When I got to the house I met with the team and I could see the haggard look in my brother’s eyes. He hugged me tight, “Thank you bro. I needed your help. I fucked up, and I need her back. I would do anything.”

“You got me here. We’ll get her back.” I said to him and to myself. I’ll get Zoey back, too.

These were the longest two days of my life.

Zoey

I cried myself to sleep last night. My brother and Elizabeth bringing me coffee is what woke me up.

“Oh sweetheart, he will come back safe. I’m sure of it.” Elizabeth tried to comfort me.

“He is not coming back. He hates me.” I cried, I ruined everything.

“He said you had a fight before he left, but he had to go. Getting her back is more important than a simple fight. Trust me.” Jackson said, while rubbing my back.

“Get who back?” What woman was he getting back?

“You don’t know. Mike didn’t tell you? April our security guard was kidnapped from her apartment, yesterday. Milo had been on a rampage to find her. He called Mike and asked him to help. He flew you guys home, so you would be with your family and not alone.”

“Oh my god. He is going to get himself killed!” I cried. I didn’t tell him I loved him before he left. The last time we saw each other we were fighting.

“He is a professional. I’m sure he will be back. He doesn’t want to lose you.”

“I thought he was dumping me.” I cried in a dry heave.

“Are you crazy? The man is madly in love with you.” Elizabeth protested.

“But he doesn’t trust me. He had me monitored while he was at work. He came home angry that I applied to colleges outside of Boston.”

“Why the hell would you do that?” Jackson asked me like I was being a dummy.

“Because they had online classes.”

“Seriously, why didn’t you tell him then?”

“Because he gave me that laptop and had been monitoring me. So, I started screaming at him and left into the bathroom.”

“You had an hour and a half to tell him.”

“Listen I don’t want to talk about it I just want him home.” I felt depressed as hell knowing that I may never see him again.

It was the longest two days of my life.

Chapter 15
Mike

We arrived back at the compound after midnight, and all I wanted to do was hold my girl in my arms. We had been seen by a personal medic and thankfully none of us had been hurt too badly. Milo told me that I had a week to get ready for the wedding.

I climbed the stairs and knocked on her door when she didn’t answer I tried the door. Thankfully it was unlocked. I needed her. I took off my pants and boots and slid into bed behind her. She instantly curled into me. “Mike…” she said, sleepily.

“Yes love, I’m home.”

“I missed you,” she rolled over in the dark and found my mouth. Our kiss was passionate and needy. I pulled her on top of me with one arm and pulled my cock out with the other. Lifting her for a ride, I pushed her panties aside and slid her down on me. She moaned and I lifted my hips, running my hands all over her curves as she slowly rode me. She threw her head back when she began riding me hard. At this point I didn’t care who heard us. While we were on the mission all I thought was it could have been Zoey. I could have lost her. I lifted her off me because I needed more. Placing on her back, I drove back into her depths and kissed her like I would never see her again. We weren’t guaranteed time, so I’m going to live it up with her. I looked down into her eyes, barely visible with the moonlight.

“God, Princess I missed you, so much. I can’t lose you.” I roared, as my hand rose into her hair while my other hand wrapped her around her thigh as I pushed in deeper and harder. My body needed to own hers. A; of the sudden her leg was on my shoulder. I leaned down, claiming her mouth. My cock had been so deep I could tell her sighs changed to groans, but she didn’t cry or complain. No, she took it and that was good because I had to have it hard and rough. I didn’t think I was going to make her come with my roughness, but just as I was about to fill her with my release she screeched out, “I’m coming!”

I bellowed her name over and over again as I felt myself empty into her, “Zoey, Zoey!”

We didn’t say anything or do anything as I collapsed to the side of her and laid her down on my good side. We can save the fight and the making up for the morning.

When morning came I was not ready to get up and I would have stayed asleep with her in my arms if she hadn’t woken up with the sunlight beaming on my bruises. “Ahh Mike what happened to your face?”

“Why thank you sweetheart did you forget what I look like when I wake up? I am not as pretty as you, I’m sorry.” I was trying to play off the fact that I had a massive bruise on my face. I kept my shirt on last night, on purpose, to prevent her from seeing my nice little boo-boos.

“Don’t play dumb with me.” she scolded. Damn, definitely coming to terms with being a wife.

“It didn’t go as planned, but this is the extent of our injuries, all of them minor, I promise.”

“I could have lost you Mike. I thought you said you weren’t going to do that stuff anymore.” she sobbed.

“He is my brother, and she is going to be his wife. I had to do it.” I sat up and wrapped her in my arms, “I’m sorry Princess that you felt I was spying on you. I wasn’t I promise. Whenever I’m not at home I turn on my security and that goes for all my computers. I gave you the laptop just in case you got tired and wanted to take it in the bed with you. Why were you trying to leave me?” I needed to know how to keep her. 

“I’m sorry too. I wasn’t trying to leave you.” she shamefully said.

“You applied for colleges two hours away.” I accused her.

“I was thinking about the online programs they had. I wanted to look in to limiting my time away from you, so online classes would save me from going to a live class.”

“Baby I’m so sorry, when Mac said you were downloading lots of applications well I got curious and looked at the ones you selected. I lost it when I saw it. I’m sorry. I guess curiosity killed the cat because just the thought of you leaving was killing me.”

“You scared me; I thought you didn’t want me. You told me you were taking me home, and I thought it was because you changed your mind. You big dummy, why didn’t you tell me?”

“Never, I was quiet in the truck because I was trying to get the plan together in my head. At moments like that time is of the essence.”

“Let’s just make sure we talk it out first, before we get out of hand.”

“Good idea Princess. Speaking of hand…” I jumped up off the bed and found my pants. I pulled out the ring I had planned to give her that night.

“I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life doing just that. Will you marry me?” She nodded, as I slid the five carat rock on her finger. I kissed her to seal the deal which turned into more than a kiss.

Zoey

We got ready for the small wedding at the Blake compound. It was intimate and sweet. I walked up the aisle and stared at my man coming toward me. Mike smiled at me and I was tingling all over. Milo and April married a week after their rescue. She had looked lovely in her white gown, giving everyone present a taste of envy. I was glad that I was getting a new sister. What I didn’t like was that she was getting married before me.

I wanted to kick my mom and Mike for their bright idea of waiting two months. I wanted to be married to Mike so bad. I already started planning out my life with him. We stayed at my parents until the day after the wedding. That was when I learned something sweet about my Mike.

“Mike is walking April down the aisle to Milo and is his best man.” I said, to my sister-in-law after April told me this morning.

“He is getting good at that.” Elizabeth said, as she rubbed her still very flat belly.

“What do you mean?” I asked curiously.

“He didn’t tell you? He walked me down the aisle to Jackson and stood up for him with Milo.” I wasn’t shocked in the least. One of the things I learned about him in the short time that we’ve known each other, is that no matter how bad-ass he could be, he truly had a good heart.

I came back to my bedroom to the sexiest sight ever. Mike was laying on the bed over the covers, clothed only in his boxers and a pair of reading glasses, his masculinity on full display along with his intelligence. I wanted to do dirty things to my book boy.  I’m going to do very naughty things to him. He was concentrating on the book in his hands that he hadn’t notice me walk into the room, or that I stripped down to my bra and panties. I was standing at the foot of the bed when he looked up above the glasses at me, and I could see that he liked what he saw, as his cock gave a bounce. I licked my lips, “What are you reading?” I don’t know how I was able to think straight at this moment, but I wanted to try something.

“It’s a crime novel by Chris Farmer.”

“Is it any good?” I said, as I started to climb on the bed.

“Yes it is…” He put it down on the side of the bed as I began to rub his legs. I shook my head.

“No sir, please continue reading, don’t let me interrupt.” He picked it up again as I tugged at his boxers, releasing his engorged cock, “Read it aloud to me.” I commanded, as I caressed his cock, slowly, up and down, using my thumb to rub his pre-cum all over the tip. He started to read, breathing heavily,
“We have two dead bodies, cause of death is undetermined at the moment. By the looks of it…”
I swallow the tip into my mouth, his hips jumped off the bed. I pulled off and looked up at him, “don’t stop.”

“By the looks of it I would go with strangulation… looks to be manual… but I have to wait… until I can perform a…a full autopsy.”
I took him down deep as he tried to continue to read. His words were labored and breathy. My pussy was dripping, my panties are ruined for sure.
“Do you think it could be suffocation from stuffing a large object into the victim’s mouth because she was driving her man insane with her head game?”

I pulled off, “Hey that is not in there!”

“No, but I can’t concentrate anymore on dead bodies when you have your pretty lips wrapped around my cock. Woman you started a job, I need you to finish. You know how I feel about finishing what you start.” He pushed my head back down as he guided his rock hard wet cock back into my mouth. I paused for a moment as I shivered with lusty hunger, using my words against me, he pulled my hair, “don’t stop.”

As I did as I was told, I needed my own relief and started to grind my pussy on his big strong hairy leg.

“Oh baby are you feeling needy? I can’t have that. Let go.” I popped off his cock with a small dibble of drool that connected his cock to my lips, making him close his eyes and growl out, “You did that on purpose woman, turn around bring your pussy to me.” I turned around and spread my thighs wide, pushing my pussy in his face. He wasted no time licking my already wet lips and gave me a spank.

I cried out, “Mike please…” He pulled my hips closer as he ate me from behind. I took his hard cock back in my mouth devouring his pre-come that was leaking. I could taste him and I couldn’t wait for the rest. I greedily stroked him hard as my mouth sucked him excitedly. I started to come hard on his tongue and fingers. He lifted me off of him and threw me down on the bed. He pinned me to the bed and pounded in to my pussy hard.

“Mine, love. You are mine.” He continued pounding hard into me, driving me wild. He gave me a sexy grin before spilling his release in me taking me with him. He kissed me hard to hide my scream that ripped through me as I felt all his seed coat my walls.

“Thank you princess.” He growled in my ear, as he rolled us over. 

“Thank you, I haven’t seen you wear glasses I couldn’t help myself. I have never been so turned on.” I rubbed my chin into his chest. “I love you my dear. Was my seduction okay?”

“Honey I want you to seduce me whenever you want.” He whispered as he caressed my side.

“We can’t do that much here.” I pouted.

“We will be married soon and you can seduce me all the time.” Oh no, I was turned on again.
