Shattered Dreams (The Believe Series Book 1) Page 4

  “That… that was amazing,” she pants, “I’ve never…” she trails off.

  “That was a first for me too,” I admit, trying to get my breathing under control. I pull back and look deep into her eyes. “Can I come home with you?”

  Chapter Seven

  Two Become One

  Never in my wildest dreams would I’d have thought that I would have sex on a bike, let alone doing it with Gage. I’m thinking this as I look up into his beautiful pleading eyes and I smile. He wants to come home with me. This night can’t get any better. “Yes,” I answer cupping his face.

  He smiles, tilting his head and I see the dimple that drives me crazy. “Thank you,” he whispers and gives me one last kiss before sitting back.

  He holds a hand out, I place mine in his, and he pulls me up. As he’s righting his pants, I pull my clothes together and watch him, licking my lips.

  “See something you like?” he asks with that cocky half smile.

  I look up and meet his eyes. “As a matter of fact, yes,” I say, “And if you don’t get us to my apartment right now, I may have to fuck you on your bike again.”

  He throws his head back laughing. Once he gets himself back under control, he strokes my face. “There’s that fire I knew was in you all along,” he says. “Don’t ever let it die, ok?” I nod and lean into his touch. “Now, let’s get going.”

  I nod again and he helps me from the bike and stands next to me. After his shirt is back on, he wraps me in his jacket and helps me with the helmet, stealing kisses at every opportunity.

  Back on his bike, I give him my address and settle in for the ride. Wrapping my arms around his waist, I place a kiss on his neck before laying my head on his back, and closing my eyes.

  Halfway to my apartment, Gage takes one of my hands and places it over his cock, rubbing it through his jeans. I take his lead and begin to grip and massage him as best as I can. After a moment, he moves his hand back to the handle bars and I continue my assault. When we pull up to my apartment and park, he’s rock hard and throbbing in my hand.

  He reaches down, taking my hand, and helps me from the bike. When he’s standing next to me, he removes the helmet and secures it to the bike, then turning to me; he pulls me close and says, “I have to be in you, now.”

  I nod and go to turn, but he stops me and picks me up. I wrap my legs around him as his mouth comes crashing down on mine. I feel us moving and open my eyes to find Gage, with his eyes open, devouring me as he walks us inside.

  Breaking the kiss as he waits for the elevator, I say laughing, “You do know I can walk, right?”

  He smiles. “I am very much aware of what those long gorgeous legs can do. They were wrapped around me not an hour ago,” he says.

  I slap his shoulder laughing as he lowers me to stand and the elevator doors open. “Let’s go Loverman,” I say pulling him in behind me.

  “Loverman, really Alicia, a Metallica reference,” he laughs cocking an eyebrow. “Is that the best you can do Baby?”

  As the doors open to my floor I chuckle. “Oh, Gage, you underestimate me,” I say pulling him out with me, “Besides, if I remember correctly, you like Metallica.”

  He rubs his hands together as I unlock the door and step through. “I do, and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for me,” he says and winks.

  I jerk my head to the side. “Come on sexy,” I say, “You made me a promise.”

  He steps through and I lock the door. Turning towards him, he asks, “And what might that be?”

  I lean back against the door nibbling my bottom lip and his eyes darken. “You said you wouldn’t be easy this time,” I answer.

  He runs a thumb across my bottom lip, his head tilted towards the side. “I did say that, didn’t I?” he says.

  Before I can respond, he’s on me, pressing me back against the door with his body, and grinding his cock into my stomach while his tongue seeks out mine.

  As our tongues battles for control, he reaches down, lifting me, I wrap my legs around his waist and lace my fingers in his hair.

  “Bedroom,” he says against my mouth.

  “Left, down the hall, third door on the right,” I answer between kisses.

  His fingers dig into my ass, slipping under my dress, as he continues to grind himself against me, and walks us to my room.

  The door stands ajar. He kicks it open, and stalks towards the bed. Falling with me, he braces himself on his hands, breaking the kiss. “I have to taste you,” he growls and proceeds to tear my dress off.

  My sex tightens and I’m dripping wet. “Oh god,” I moan as he travels down my body, kissing and licking his way down towards his goal. Then he’s there, his breath warm against my swollen heat. “God you smell so fucking good,” he growls and then plunges in, lapping my folds.

  My hands tear through his hair, pulling him closer. “Gage,” I pant.

  “What baby?” he asks as he parts my folds and sucks my clit into his mouth.

  Clawing at his shoulders, trying still to get closer to heaven, I whisper, “Please, Gage, don’t fucking stop.”

  “I won’t, baby,” he says between licks. “God you have such a beautiful pussy. I could eat you up.”

  “Oh god, please,” I beg, feeling my orgasm building. Just as I start to let go, he stops. “Fuck, don’t stop.”

  “Turn over baby,” he says as he rips his clothes from his body. As quickly as I can, I turn and arrange myself on my knees and look back over my shoulder.

  His hand comes down hard on my ass. I jump as a scream of pleasure erupts from me. “I didn’t say you could move,” he says in a deep commanding way, stroking where he had just slapped me that has me turning back at once.

  “Please Gage,” I plead, “fuck me, now.”

  He slams into me with a feral growl, hitting just the right spot, a heady mixture of pleasure and pain. His hand connects with my ass again then he grips my hips, his fingers biting into my skin. “Fuck Alicia,” he groans, “Your pussy is so fucking tight. It was made for my cock.” He slams into me again, this time harder than before. “You are mine,” he says between thrusts. “Say it. Say you’re mine.”

  “I’m yours Gage,” I whisper, so fucking turned on.

  He slaps the other ass cheek. “Louder,” he growls, “you’re fucking mine.”

  “Oh god,” my orgasm rips through me, tearing me apart. “I’m fucking yours Gage,” I scream as I feel my body give in. However, Gage is right there to catch me. Holding me tightly against him, he thrusts once more then stills, spilling his seed in me and I orgasm again. “Gage,” I scream, and then blackness takes hold of me.

  Chapter Eight

  A Night to Remember

  Fuck! What the hell just happened? I wondered as I try to wake Alicia. “Baby, wake up,” I plead, not sure why she passed out. This has never happened before and it’s scaring the fuck out of me.

  “Gage,” she moans, “what happened?”

  I fall back on the bed, my arm covering my face, smiling and relieved. I laugh. “Baby, me fucking you made you pass out,” I say. “That has never happened before.”

  She chuckles. “Don’t go getting cocky,” she tells me, rolling to her side to face me. “You were pretty great, I must admit. I’ve never been spanked before.”

  I turn, facing her, and wrap my arm around her. Placing a kiss on her lips, I whisper, “You were pretty fucking great yourself.” I pull back and study her eyes. She looking at me with a lust filled expression. My brows furrow. I never thought I would be here, in her bed.

  “What’s wrong, Gage?” she asks.

  I shake my head. “Tonight has been filled with a lot of firsts,” I say, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. “I think I want another first with you.”

  She smiles. “Oh ya,” she says, “and what might that be?”

  I push her to her back and cover her with my body, my cock already hard as a rock. “I want to make love to you, Alicia,” I answer as I take her mouth with mine
. She gasps and I push my tongue inside as my cock sinks into her wet pussy.

  This time, I take it slow, with deep and measured movements. I’ve had my share of women, but this is different, this is Alicia; the woman I’ve loved for years. The sensations she stirs inside me just kissing her if enough to push me over the edge. How in the fuck am I supposed to think of her as just a job?

  “Gage,” Alicia moans, raking her nails across my back, “faster, please.”

  I shake my head, thrusting into her again. “No, not this time,” I whisper. “This time I want to feel you. I want to feel your walls close in on me, milking my cock like it was made just for you.”

  “Oh god, Gage,” she moans, arching her back. “Fuck, I can feel your cock throbbing inside me, growing thicker. More please.”

  I can feel myself getting closer as her orgasm begins to ripple through her. Untangling myself from her, I rear back on my knees, gripping her thighs, and I start driving into her faster, harder.

  Just as her sweet tight pussy clamps down on my cock, I growl, “Alicia!”

  “Gage!” she screams and I collapse on top of her. We lay there, my face buried in her neck, trying to catch our breath, when she speaks, “Stay the night.”

  I lift my head to look at her, a smile on my face, “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” I say and kiss her. Pulling back, I look in her eyes and my whole world is staring back at me.

  She reaches up and strokes my face. “Will you hold me while we sleep?” she asks.

  I smile, roll off her, and pull her back towards me, her back to my front. “Always, baby,” I say kissing her head. “Now, sleep.”

  She yawns and reaches back, touching my cheek. “I really like you, Gage,” she whispers as sleep claims her.

  “I really like you too, baby,” I say to her sleeping form. “I love you Alicia.” She stirs and mumbles, but doesn’t wake.

  I lay there and hold her, sleep evading me. Her scent is intoxicating. There’s something else about tonight that bothers me. I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.

  Using my detective mind, I run through the night in my head. Then it hits me like a fucking Mac truck, I didn’t use a condom any of the times I made love to her. My heart speeds up and my breathing becomes labored. Under different circumstances, this wouldn’t be too much of an issue. However, I was instructed to treat her like a job. Alicia is not a fucking job! I just can’t let the boss man know just how deep I have myself.

  My mind is playing over why I was chosen for this job when sleep finally takes it hold on me. Pulling Alicia closer, I allow myself to sleep.

  ***

  I startle awake when I hear my cell buzzing from somewhere on the floor. I was too distracted by the beautiful woman in my arms last night to care where it landed.

  Sighing, I untangle from her soft warm body to see what the boss man wants now. Picking it up I see the text.

  Gage-

  New development on the protection detail. My office in an hour.

  Jake

  She’s not a fucking job, I think, tossing the phone back on top of my clothes. Glancing at the clock next to the bed I see it’s only four in the morning.

  Not wanting to wake her, I slip into the bathroom, dress, and write her a note.

  Alicia-

  I had a great time last night. I loved talking to you, touching you, and the way your sweet tight pussy felt around my cock. Don’t worry, there’s more of that coming.

  I had to go into the office and didn’t want to wake you. Be ready by five. I’m taking you to Shasta for dinner then to Shakespeare Theater.

  Wear something nice, but easy to remove.

  Gage

  xoxo

  I place the note on the bedside table, lightly kiss her head, and leave; locking the door behind me.

  I notice the extra bounce in my step this morning. Just knowing that Alicia’s the cause and I will be seeing her later puts a smile on my face.

  ***

  I stop by my place, shower, change, and I arrive at the office just as Jake walks in.

  “What’s so important that you need me in here at five in the fucking morning?” I ask as I take a seat across from him. He gives me that, ‘Don’t fuck with me look,’ but I ignore him.

  “It appears that your brother was scoping out Alicia’s apartment last night,” he says. “My sources also tell me that you spent the night.” He adds this with a smile.

  I chose to ignore him again. “Jake, why did you pick me for this,” I ask.

  “First, because this is your brother,” he explains, “Second, Jareth told me your history with Alicia.”

  I shake my head in disbelief. “You have got to be fucking kidding me, right?” I say. “Jake, are you playing fucking match-maker?”

  He smiles and shrugs. “What can I say,” he says, “I’m a romantic.”

  “Romantic, my ass,” I huff, then sit there and study him. He’s got to be pushing fifty, I think, with coal black hair and as round as he is tall. However, he’s been married to the same woman for the last thirty years. So what the fuck do I know? He very well could be.

  “You do realize,” I start, “that when Alicia finds out she’s going to hate me.”

  His smile vanishes. “Ya, I didn’t think that far ahead,” he says. “My wife likes to remind me that I never think before I act.” He shrugs. “Anyway, I called you in here because I’m pulling you off the case. You leave for DC tomorrow.”

  I stand so fast, the chair flies back, slamming into the wall. “What?” I yell. “You’re shitting me? I can’t leave now. Who’s going to watch Alicia?”

  He gives me a sad look. “It would seem I over stepped my boundaries,” he admits. “I was instructed that we were to not use city funds for a case of puppy love, Alicia’s on her own. As for Rick, well that’s why you’re headed to DC. He was spotted there.” He pushes a file folder across his desk.

  I pick it up, but then drop it like it caught fire. Shaking my head I say, “No, I won’t go. Alicia may have been a job to you, but not to me. Maybe your heart was in the right place, but you can’t fuck with people’s emotions. Last night I was given a gift, something I had only dreamed about. I can’t do this Jake.”

  He sighs. A pained look crosses his face. “Gage, I am sorry,” he says. “Regrettably, I didn’t think it through. I don’t want to be a dick, but need I remind you of the oath you took and that badge you display so proudly?”

  I pace his office as I run a hand through my hair. The job I love or the woman I love. I just don’t fucking know.

  “If it makes the decision any easier, Gage,” he starts, “I will hire a PI, out of my pocket, to look after her. I’ll also make sure he sends you hourly updates.”

  I stop, look at him, and raise a brow. “And a patrol car,” I ask.

  He shakes his head. “Gage, you know I can’t do that,” he says. He spreads his hands out in front of him. “This is the best I can do. Take it or leave it. However, if you leave it, you can also leave your badge and gun on my desk.”

  “You don’t play fair do you Jake?” I ask and he shakes his head.

  “Never do,” he says.

  “You’re an asshole,” I say, “You know that don’t you?”

  He chuckles. “Among other things,” he says. “Now what will it be?”

  “She’ll be under twenty-four hour watch?” I ask and he nods. I snatch up the file. “Fine, I’ll go, but if I don’t think she’s being taken care of I’ll be back. You got that?”

  He nods. “I wouldn’t expect anything less from you,” he says.

  “Oh, and one more thing,” I say, my hand on the door knob, and look at him over my shoulder. “I’m taking the rest of the day off.” Without waiting for a response, I close the door behind me.

  As I head out of the police station and to my bike, I decide that Jake’s PI isn’t enough. I will recruit Jareth. Since he has himself wrapped up in Shannon, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to stay close. Pulling my
cell out, I send him a text.

  Jareth-

  Boss man has pulled me off the case, headed to DC tomorrow. Not sure how long I’ll be gone. I need you to watch over Alicia. I will send more details later.

  Gage

  As I’m starting my bike, Jareth responds.

  No problem. I’ll keep her safe.

  Jareth

  Peeling out of the parking lot, a smile forms on my face, I have a full night with my girl and I can’t wait.

  Chapter Nine

  You Make Me Want To Believe

  I wake with a smile on my face and a delicious ache in my body. Stretching, I find I’m alone and Gage’s side of the bed cold. Rolling over I look at the clock and see it’s only six in the morning. He must have gone into work. Then I see it, a note.

  Smiling once more, I sit up, swing my legs over the edge of the bed, and pick up the note.

  My smile fades and I gasp, covering my mouth. He’s taking me to Shasta’s and then to the theatre. Shasta’s is a well-known five star restaurant located in the Chicago Stock Exchange building. It is also known for its beautiful breathtaking Chicago skyline and professional quality food.

  “How in the hell can a cop afford a place like this?” I ask aloud then I remember, when he helped make that bust he was given a reward, but surely it couldn’t have been that much, could it? I shrug. It doesn’t matter either way as money means nothing to me.

  Then it strikes me. In my surprise of his restaurant choice, I realize that I have nothing to wear. Picking up my cell, I hope Shannon can help me.

  “Someone better be fucking dead or dying,” she says answering the phone.

  I chuckle. “Good morning to you too, sunshine,” I say. “Have a bad night?”

  I hear her sit up. “You have no fucking idea,” she says.

  It’s then that I hear a man’s voice in the background. “Oh my god, Shannon,” I gasp. “Did you take Jareth home with you?” What is hard to believe about her doing this, is that Shannon has never taken a man home, nor does she go to their home. As far as I know, she has only ever had sex in a hotel.
