Claiming Red (4 page)

He had poured us both a drink and this time I took my time drinking it. I had to get a plan together. Greece was looking like the place to go. I already had the ring, I just needed the right time. But the way I was looking at it, it may be better to rush the wedding. They could claim her if she was already married. Fuck it sucks not knowing who the other buyers, if any were. I had to call Roger.

“Roger, how many influxes were there.”

“Three.” Shit one was one too many, but I at least knew who that one buyer was.

“Okay, I need you to get more information. Make sure no one knows who’s asking okay? I want names.”

“It will be hard, but I will try and get back to you as soon as possible.” I hung up with a heavy sigh.

“I won’t ask you anything about the conversation, but I do have to ask you something.” I waited for the question that I knew was coming.

“Are you sure about her? I mean, are you really sure?” I had the same symptoms, he had when he met my mother.

“Absolutely. I felt it the moment she looked up at me in her baseball cap.” The thought of anyone trying to harm her made me want to kill a fucker.

“Baseball cap? Really?” He knew me, the women I dated didn’t leave the house without makeup on, hair done and dressed to the nines. So, I told him about this morning. It was only this morning? Wow, my world changed in a matter of hours.

“I still remember the first time I saw your mother. It was a done deal too. She didn’t know what hit her. I ran all over her and wouldn’t take no for an answer. She was a young law student and didn’t want to give up her future for me. It took her awhile to realize that I wasn’t going to give up. Her family wanted nothing to do with me and my family and their illegal history. So, I proved to them that although ruthless in business, I was no criminal. I have never been happier.”

“You have told us that story for years. It happened with Grandpa too, why not with uncle?”

“Because he was too stubborn and prideful when he was young. He had killed a guy because the guy owed him money. The guy’s brother came out for revenge. One day he and Sheila, the woman who was the one, went out driving. She had paid for his stupidity. They were both shot repeatedly. Since then, he has grown harder and more ruthless than anyone could imagine.” I could understand that the pain would be unbearable to have lived through and I was going to do everything I could to make sure I didn’t have to. She was my world now, so I would do anything to keep her safe.

“I have to make some arrangements, but I plan to take her away for a few days. I am going to get her, now.” We walked out to join the rest of the family. I looked at my woman and she was smiling at something my mom had said and turned to us. That smile warmed my heart, and I would do anything to keep it there. Just as I sat down next to her and gave her a peck on the cheek, my phone buzzed; it was Travis:

Get her out. His car just pulled up.

Fuck. I looked up at my dad and shook my head. “Hey Red, it’s time to go.” I hugged my mother and sister and shook my brother’s hand.

In walked one of the maids and she said, “Mrs. O’Connell, Mr. O’Connell’s brother is here.”

“Tell my brother I am coming right now.” After the maid left the room, I pulled Red behind me as I heard my uncle say that he knew the way.

“Go out through the study, son.” He patted my shoulder, “I love you, son.” I nodded. Red’s eyes bulged, her hand squeezed mine tighter. She knew his voice; I wonder what else she knew. I dragged her out as I heard my father say to my family, “She was never here, understand?”

He is dragging me through the house and out the back. He hurried me into the garage and into his truck. I was trying not to freak out. I remembered that voice. It was the one my mom had spoken to that day, the grey-haired old man, who was supposed to be my date.

What the fuck was going on?! He had drove out quietly and with the lights off. Once we had gotten out of the gate and down the street, he turned the lights on. It was two miles into our drive when he stopped and sent a text to someone.

“What the hell is going on?” The only response he gave me, was to kiss me with the lips that I could not take my eyes off all night. It was the most amazing kiss I had ever had in my short life. My heart was already pounding from the voice, but his kiss made me feel like my heart was going to pop out of my chest. Truth be told, I had a few kisses over the years, but this was magnetic, amazingly perfect. His lips felt hot and needy as they caressed mine. His mouth was begging for entry and with a moan he had gotten in. I hadn’t even realized that it was my moan. His kisses short circuited my brain; all I could think about was getting closer to him. I was trying to crawl over into his seat and into his lap. I tried to undo my seatbelt and that is when he put a halt to our make out session. What the hell?! Damn it! He got me again. He had so much control. Maybe it was because I was, so inexperienced that it was not as good for him as it was for me.

I watched him as he adjusted his pants and smiled; he had been just as affected as I was. I sat in my seat afraid to move because he would be able to hear the squishy sound of my juices leaking on to his leather seats.

“Fuck Red, you pack a serious punch.” A truck was starting to get closer, so he pulled out and continued on before the truck could pass us. I was so mesmerized by our first kiss that I had forgotten about the voice until he started asking questions.

“Tell me, what do you know of my uncle, John O’Connell?” He was harsh, now.

“Nothing. Why?” I don’t know why he was being mean all of the sudden.

“So you have never heard of the gangster before?”

“Oh my, that John O’Connell, you are related to him?” I couldn’t hide my repulsion, and completely regretted right away, when I had seen Rick’s dismay.

“Yes, I am. So you’ve never heard your parent’s mention him? Tell me the truth. I won’t hold anything back from you, but you have to tell me the truth.”

“I really don’t know him, but the voice earlier, I am assuming is his. It is that voice I know.” He continued to drive as I proceeded to tell him what had happened, the day I ran away. His face was turning redder by the moment and his knuckles whiter as he gripped the steering wheel tighter.

“Roger, get the plane ready and the package I got from Daley. Yes, will be there in an hour.” I looked at him like he was fucking crazy.

“Baby, my father told me that my uncle is still looking for you, the deal was for when you turned eighteen.”

“Oh my god, that’s in two days!” I blanched, completely frightened.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you. I will try and make it the best birthday you have ever had.” He held my hand again as we drove. It calmed my fear, but did funny things to my heart. Somehow, I trusted him. I felt safe with him.

“I have to call Brady, he will be worried. Where are we going?” I didn’t want him to worry about me.

“Don’t worry about it baby; you’ll see when we get there.” He was so confident, did he get that way with age or was he born a bad ass. I just stared at his profile. His chin was strong, his brow manly and his nose a little big. He had all the features of a man born to be hardcore. My heart was doing flips from just staring at him.

“Baby, are you okay?” I had realized I had been silent for five minutes. I think I might be in love.

“I am fine, but I don’t have anything with me to go on a trip. Can we stop at my place?”

“Yeah baby, but we have to be quick.” He kissed my cheek and continued to drive. As soon as we got to my apartment we packed my bag and just as we were about to walk out he kissed me again. Oh my, the man is going to make me drunk on his kisses. Then we heard the lock and he pushed me behind him.

“Samantha, you home?” Brady was home. Good I wanted to give him a big hug before I left and I needed to give him some money. He had been so helpful to me since my mother had tried to sell me.

“Who are you?” Uh oh, he was not kind to any guy I tried to date. He was almost like a big brother.

“Umm. This is Rick.” I was so nervous. They were both big guys and I didn’t want either of them to get hurt.

“It’s Rick Williams. I am her boyfriend and soon to be so much more.” I looked at him like he didn’t just say that, but he did.

“Good, sweetheart take care and call me soon.” He walked up to me and swung me up into his arms, hugging me tightly and spinning me around. When he finally put me down, I could see the anger in Rick’s eyes.

“Do you mind keeping your hands off her?” He growled at Brady, and I thought they were going to fight.

Then Brady laughed, “Are you?”

“No, now excuse us we have to leave.” We left in a hurry and I was surprised that Brady didn’t go crazy on him. I felt like something was up between them, but the thought passed as fast as it came because I was only concerned about the probability of imminent danger.

That had to be the longest flight of my life. I have made this flight many times and it never seemed so long. Being around her and not being able to be inside her was getting harder, and harder by the moment. I didn’t want to take her on the plane; I wanted our first time to be in my nice warm bed.

We landed in Athens, Greece and I took her to my vacation hideaway, outside the historical city, just on the coastline of Greece. It was a place I came when I needed to decompress. It was beautiful and full of history. I happen to be a history geek and I wanted to share that with my Samantha. I always spent my time here alone. Now, I am going to enjoy spending time with my one and only. This will be our place. I am going to spend the next couple of days enjoying her before I handle the situation with my uncle. I want her to enjoy her birthday without worry.

On the plane, I got to kiss and hold her until we had gotten too carried away. It was the stewardess that interrupted us the last time to tell us that our food was ready. After we ate my girl was tired, so she took a nap, in my lap, while I worked. Surprisingly I hadn’t gotten too hard with her on me like that. I was turned on, just by holding her, but my heart was more turned on.

When we were getting into the car, I had gotten a message from my father saying my uncle happened to be in town looking for some people that owed him money. Yeah it was looking for my girl, but he had no idea she had been at the house moments earlier.

“We are here babe. There is so much I want to show you, but first I want to kiss you.” I took her into my arms and kissed the lips that had haunted me while she slept. Even in her sleepy state, she was still so into the kiss. She slowly woke and was on my lap again, but instead of sleeping she was riding my ridge through my pants.

“Come on babe we got to go inside, now.” I was a few seconds away from embarrassing myself and staining my pants. She got off my lap, and I helped her out of the car. When I come here I can’t help, but smile. She looked out at the land and smiled, too.

“I didn’t pack anything for a tropical paradise.” I think she finally realized her surroundings.

“You did pack some summer clothes. Get changed, and we will go into the village and get you some swimwear.”

“I am surprised that you don’t keep spares here for your lady guests.” Her face dropped from happy to sad. Ahh is my Red jealous?

“Baby, don’t be jealous. I have never brought a lover here before. You are the only one. This is my sanctuary. I come here when I feel annoyed or stressed.” That made her smile; I loved that smile. It was so genuine, so sweet and all for me.

“So, get your sexy ass dressed, before I change my mind and you’ll have to skinny dip by the pool.”

“You have a pool?” She walked away to look for it. Didn’t she understand that my control was hanging on by a thread? That all I wanted to do was throw her against the nearest wall and shove my huge fucking cock inside her. I am starting to think my girl was not as experienced as I first expected. I hoped the fuck not. I wanted to claim her, and her little pussy. The thought that someone else might have taken her virginity pissed me off so, fucking bad. Hypocritical, I know, but I don’t give a fuck.

I went around the villa looking for her, but I couldn’t find her near the pool or anywhere on the first floor. So, I went up to the bedroom and I could hear the shower running. I squeezed my aching cock through my pants. When I did that I realized I was still wearing the same suit. I needed a shower, too. The only other shower was the outdoor one, oh well. I grabbed a change of clothes and some towels and made my way to the outdoor shower.

I had been scrubbing myself when I reached my meat that was still hard as fuck from kissing my Red. I took myself in hand. I needed to take away some of the tension because all I could think about was burying myself in her tight little package. I stroked it, slowly at first, picturing her on her knees tasting my cock, and greedily devouring it. The more I thought about it, the harder I stroked. Fuck, I was so fucking close. I called out her name over and over again as I spewed my come all over the shower stall. Good, I hoped that I could hold off a little while longer. Then, I heard her gasp. I turned to see my Samantha standing there in a pair of tiny shorts and a tank top. Her hand covering her mouth as her other hand was gliding over her mound through her shorts, stroking herself. Fuck me that was a beautiful sight. I looked down and my cock hadn’t gone down.
