“No, what you need to do is to pack a few things and find your passport,” he continued taking no notice of her complaints. “I’m not leaving here without you so the sooner you get on with it the more time you’ll have to get organised.”
So that was why he’d been so keen to accompany her to her home. He’d known all along what he intended to do.
“You don’t have to worry, Mrs Deverell,” he said turning to Grace. “
This is for the best and I
can assure you Gina won’t come to any harm. In fact,
she really is
one very lucky young woman. I’m about to whisk her off for a f
ew weeks
of wonderful surroundings, glorious food and warm sunshine.”
Gina didn’t know what to think. Whisk her off but to where, she wondered? In what far flung corner of the word was he going to imprison her? But on the plus side this little bombshell did have its upside. Now she’d get to spend some time with him, quality time she could use to mend a few fences.
Matthew
Dark, despite his dubious sexual predilections, fascinated and intrigued her to the point of obsession.
“Come on then, Gina, let’s go and pack your stuff,” he said taking her hand and helping her off the chair. “We have a plane to catch later on today.”
Gina didn’t really have much choice and led the way up to her flat at the top of the house. She had a living room, small bathroom and a bedroom. She took a suitcase from a storage cupboard on the landing and placed it open on her bed. Dark sat himself down on a cushioned wicker chair and watched her choosing which clothes to take.
“I’ll be very warm where we’re going, so think shorts, tops and sandals,” he advised checking his watch. “Perhaps something dressier for the evenings
,
”
he suggested.
“So we’re going to socialise, are we? And just how will you introduce me to your friends, as your captive, your captive spy who you daren’t let out of your sight,” she scoffed.
“I might, but then whose fault is that,” he asked dryly. “But perhaps if we can get past this then I could introduce you as my ‘captive lover’. Does that label suit you better?”
He watched her
-
a half smile lingering on his lips as she shook
her lovely head
and
considered this
.
Gina’s heart missed a beat. So he did still want a relationship with her. Now she was nervous again as she realised what that would mean.
“I think i
t does. I think that title suits you perfectly,
Gina
. The words ‘captive’ and ‘lover’ in the same breathe, what do you think?
”
He asked her
.
“You know very well
,
after this afternoon,
you’d like to give my brand of sex a go. You might be able to fool yourself for a while but you can’t fool me.”
He was looking at her again with that moody, sexy look he did so well. It made Gina’s heart race and her toes curl. He’d got her so right –
seen right through her
-
to her very core
but she couldn’t just admit it – could she?
“You know nothing about me
Matthew
Dark so don’t go making any presumptions. And if you want to know the truth I find your attitude towards women and your ways pretty disgusting,” she flared
in retaliation
.
But the anger was more about show than anything else. She was holding back – she still didn’t want to admit how
much
she really
enjoyed
his lovemaking and how it made her feel.
“You can flounce and spit all you like, Gina. But I know the truth, I’ve
experienced it, remember
– in my office,” he reminded the embarrassed girl. “A
nd I
watched the recording and what you did with those cuffs so don’t tell me you’re not keen to give it a go,” he told her smugly. “
Anyway I’m not givi
ng you any choice in the matter.”
“What do you mean, of cou
rse I have a choice,” she railed
back at him.
“No you don’t. I’m going to re-boot this relationship and start it over again
and this time it’ll run
according to my rules,” he told her bluntly.
Gina gasped,
re-boot
– what sort of description was that?
“What do you mean - your rules?” She parried facing him now with her eyes blazing.
“You know what I mean, Gina. The rule where I say and you do –
I demand – you obey and
without argument.”
“Well I won’t,” she insisted
her voice so shaky it belied her refusal
. “I won’t agree and you can’t make me.”
“
My rules don’t allow you to refuse, Gina. If I want something then I get it and that includes your body.
Like I said downstairs I can make you
do
many
things. This defiance you exhibit is a sham,
you like
what
I do,
you like it a lot.
And I know
you have a taste for it.”
“A taste for what exactly,
Matthew
,” she flushed
turning to face him while still bent over her case her hands pressing down her clothes. “
Letting you restrain me
while you do
whatever you want while I’m helpless to stop you
– that’s
what you really mean is
n’t it?
Because up to now that’s
about all
I’ve experienced
with you
,” she told him angrily. “And what comes next,
Matthew
? What happens once I’m
happy with the rope and the cuffs, what then, will you start torturing me with whips and
other
things?”
She asked screwing up her face at the thought.
“
I might,” h
e agreed darkly
. “
And I know
you’d enjoy that too,” he added softly.
“There’s
a
strong chemistry between us, you know there is and I want us both to enjoy exploring it further,” he tempted in his deep, sexy voice.
His eyes never left hers
and
Gina was squirming inside. How
did he do it – how
had he got her so right?
She couldn’t keep
up this
mask of
outrage
for much
longer and anyway – what was the point?
Perhaps
she’d argued with him enough – perhaps
it
w
as time to come clean and a
dmit her own need
– because
that’s what she really want
ed to do. To go to him – give in
to him and let him use her however he wished
. The thought of what he might do to her was making her head spin and her body burn with hunger for his touch.
He was on his feet and coming towards her – sensing her
weakness – her imminent submission
.
“
I won’t hurt you,” he whispered running a solitary finger down her cheek. “
We
’ll
have an arrangement, a safeword you can use if things get too heavy for you. But I don’t think they
will. Because I think you’
re going to enjoy this -
my
sort of torture
is what you desire deep inside here – isn’t it
,
Gina,” he said tracking the finger down her body until it danced over her sex. “
If your recent experiences with me have taught you anything, Gina, it’s that there’s a whole untapped wealth of sexual activity you’d like to try. I’m right, aren’t I?”
Gina blushed again and
this time
nodded meekl
y
at his words while
gazing up into his dark
eyes.
The man was outrageous but he’d hit
that
nerve
– the one Gina was trying to pretend didn’t exist
and Gina hated herself for being so transparent. Despite desperately wanting the comfort of a quite different attitude towards what he’d described she was, in fact, seriously turned on by the whole idea. The truth was
Matthew
seemed to wield a strange power over her, a power she couldn’t quantify and which scared her to half to death. And of course he knew, he always knew. What was happening to her?
This was so out of character
.
What
was it that
had changed inside her head this last couple of days?
It didn’t
really take much working out
,
she told herself.
Matthew
Dark had happened and what was worse she had i
nstigated that first meeting. Nonetheless a
s she
fe
ll into his eager arms
Gina couldn’t help but wish she’d never got herself into any of it.
Their lips fused together as he kissed her hard.
She
melted she had no resistance but
despite wanting his embrace she
w
himpered and tried to push him away.
“Don’t Matthew, not here. Grace could come up and catch us,” she warned
nervous about the proximity of her step mum
.
“OK but hurry and we’ll finish this back at my penthouse,” h
e promised h
is voice thick
with lust
. “Before we get on that plane I need to teach you the error of your ways, Miss Deverell,” he pulled her close again and cupped one of her large breasts in his hand. “I’m going to take you and I’m not going to be gentle
either
. Does that excite you, Gina,” he asked feeling the shiver shoot down her body. “Because it should. I’m going to bind you tight and fuck you hard
.
”
Gina
swayed she
could barely
stand
unaided
her legs were
so
wobbly
and her body fizzed with a wild, dangerous desire
.
His description of what he was going to do should shock her but it didn’t. It tore through her brain igniting every nerve end with want.
But
Matthew
just smiled and
sat down again nodd
ing at
her
case
indicating that she should get on with her packing. He’d said those things and now he was so cool – so together just casually watching her. Whereas the turmoil in both her brain and body were indescribable!
She couldn’t think straight and f
inally heaving a sigh of frustration
s
he grabbed a handful of clothes from the wardrobe and tossed them on the suitcase.
“
Don’t be so impatient,” he tutted at her. “We still have plenty of time to pl
ay,” he smirked sensing her desire
. “
Don’t forget your passport, f
ind
it
and I’ll look after it for you.”
Gina went to a set of drawers and threw some makeup and jewellery on the bed and rifling through a wallet finally handed him her passport.
Dark nodded his thanks and immediately checked it wasn’t out of date before putting it safely in his inside jacket pocket.
Matthew
carried the suitcase downstairs to his car for her while Gina said her goodbyes to Grace. He’d agreed that she could ring her step mum every few days, with him in earshot of course, so Grace was happy enough. Grace realised that she was also party to this. Gina had to promise si
lence and by association, so did
she.
