“Caitlynne will figure it out. Maybe he
left more clues behind and she can find him faster. Anything is possible. The
guy has been killing and hurting people for days now and he leaves a little
more behind every time.”
He had too. Just yesterday they had
connected him to another murder, this time of a clerk in a store. And there had
been video, but no sound of the entire incident. They had been talking, he and
the clerk, and suddenly, there was a gun in Tony’s hand. When he started waving
it around in what appeared to be an agitated state, the man dropped to his
knees and looked to be praying. Tony simply shot him. Then he did the strangest
thing. He began beating his head with the gun.
Then he walked around picking up items
and putting them into a bag and walked out of the store. Caitlynne said that it
looked as if he had gotten coffee, of all things, and a great deal of it.
She was still lying with her head on
Khan’s chest when Caitlynne returned. She had one of the other men with her,
one of the guards that had been sent to watch her today. Caitlynne didn’t look
very happy.
“You’re right. His DNA was found at the
scene. It had come up as a match, but they wanted to run it again because of
how far this one was from the last murder. They think he went inside to get
something to eat, he must be running low on money, and she tried to stop him. Apparently,
he had made himself at home and rummaged through the house before he left. Drops
of his blood were found throughout the house, including the children’s rooms.”
Caitlynne nodded to the man who had entered with her. “This is Karl. He’s going
to continue your shooting lessons today. I have to go to this crime scene and
see what I can find out. We’re running out of time.”
Monica had nearly shut down when she’d
heard that he’d been in the children’s rooms. She wondered if he had been
looking for them to harm them. She wondered what, if anything, could be done to
help these children get on with their lives. She stood up suddenly and looked
around at the three people there. “I need to be alone. I know that someone has
to watch over me, but I need to…really need to be in a quiet place to think. I’m
sorry, but…” She looked at the man. “I’m sorry, but we can do this later? Right
now I need—” She ran to the bathroom with her hand over her mouth. She was
going to be sick right now. By the time she threw up a few times, she heard the
door behind her open and close. She thought it was Caitlynne, but when Khan
spoke, she moaned.
“I have some crackers for you. And I’ve
got something here that Walker left in the event this got to be too much for
you. I think you should take it.” She reached for the crackers, but left the
little pink pill in his palm. “I don’t want to have to make you take this, but
I will. You’re not going to be able to help when they need you if you’re too
ill. I love you, babe. You need to rest.”
“He killed those people for no other
reason than he thought she looked like me.” She took the pill, put it in her
mouth, and swallowed. He handed her a glass of water, which she sipped.
“Did I ever tell you about the time that
Walker and I got into trouble because he wanted to have sex with this older
woman and I tried to stop him?” She cocked her brow at him and he smiled. “It’s
my version of the story and you’ll believe me because you love me. Anyway, he
wanted to have sex with this woman and I told him it was a bad idea.”
“And how old was this older woman?” She
knew that he’d been the one who wanted the sex and Walker was the one trying to
keep him from getting into trouble. She had no doubt that there were plenty of
stories like this one where he was the innocent bystander.
“Oh very old to a couple of barely
teenage boys. She was nearing to dotage at twenty-five.” She laughed as he
continued. “She lived near the land that my parents had. The original acres to
the property we have back home. A lot less than now. Anyway, she lived near us
and baked the best cinnamon rolls in seven counties. They were tender and soft.
Just big enough to fit in your hand. And as warm as the sunshine on a nice May
day.”
“Are you talking about the rolls or the
woman’s breasts? Sounds to me you were a horny kid looking for a quick lay.” He
grinned at her and told her to hush. She yawned and he picked her up off the
floor and held her.
“Stop interrupting me. Where was I? Oh,
yeah. Her rolls. She would bake them every week and send some to our house as a
gift to my mom. Mom would help her in the gardens, and we got warm rolls for
it. But I…Walker wanted more.”
Monica felt her body begin to relax, and
she snuggled into Khan’s warmth as he talked. His words seemed to slur, but she
no longer cared about the woman or her cinnamon roll-flavored breasts. When
Khan laughed, she tried to look up at him, but he too was blurry.
“I think you pinked my pill.” No, that
wasn’t right. “You put something in my pinked nipple.” She knew that wasn’t
right either, but his laughter made her smile. She tried to tell him good night,
but was pretty sure it hadn’t come out that way. He was still laughing when she
felt the bed beneath her. Tired beyond belief, she let him cover her up and
slipped away.
~~~
When Khan woke, he nearly came up off
the bed. His cock was in the warmest place in the world. Looking down, he saw
that Monica had him deep in her mouth and she was thoroughly enjoying herself. He
curled his fingers into her hair and lifted her head to look at him.
“You certainly know how to wake a man.” Her
grin was positively evil. “Are you going to give me a taste of you as well?”
She sat up and looked at him. Her
breasts were flushed with need and her nipples were hard peaks on the tips. He
wanted to sit up, take them into his mouth, and suckle them. But she had his
shaft in her hand and was doing delightful things to it.
“You don’t like me waking you this way?
I thought all men enjoyed their cock serviced first thing in the morning.” He
was going to have to show her tomorrow how a man liked to wake up. “I want to
suck you until you come.”
“I want to drink from you. Turn around
and we can both get what we want.” He helped her turn so that she was over his
head. “That’s it, baby.”
She leaned down, took his cock in her
mouth, and he pulled her hips down so that he could feast on her. She was so
wet already that he only lapped at her thighs to gather her cream. As soon as
he pulled her closer and licked along her seam, she moaned around his cock. He
felt it all the way to his toes.
Every bit of her was exposed for him.
With her thighs spread over his head, she was as open as he’d ever had her.
When he cupped her ass and ran his fingers along that seam, she danced over his
mouth and more of her juices flowed from her. He knew he could scare her if he
touched her like this, so he was content to eat her and drink from her.
Tilting his head sideways, he was able
to see her. She was bobbing up and down on his cock so quickly that he knew
that he was going to come down her throat at any second. Sliding his fingers
along her ass again, he waited for her to tense up, but she was too involved in
what she was doing. When he pressed against her tight rings, he felt her
stiffen and took her clit back into his mouth until she relaxed again. He did
this twice more before he was able to slide his finger into her.
She nipped at his cock and then pulled
one of his balls into her mouth. Crying out against her, he came, fucking her
mouth as hard as he could while pumping in and out of her with both his tongue
and finger. As soon as he felt her tighten around him, he reached between her
soft nether lips, pinched her clit, and was rewarded with her scream of release
and a flood of her essences.
While she was still reeling from her
climax, her body jerking and convulsing, he adjusted her so that she lay beside
him. When she smiled at him, he rolled over on top of her and laced his fingers
into her. Kissing her, he centered himself over her, and she wrapped her legs
around his hips.
“I want to make love to you.” He slid
deep into her wet sheath and moaned. “Hot and tight. I love you wrapped around
me.”
Moving slowly, he watched her face. She
was beautiful when she was coming, and he loved watching her face as she
enjoyed them together. Moving his head down her body, he stopped at her breast
and teased her nipples with his tongue and teeth. When she tried to get him
deeper and to go faster, he slowed more.
“This is my turn.”
She growled at him.
“That’s very sexy, but I want to take my
time with you. You’re always so impatient to get to the end and forget to enjoy
the uphill climb.” When he moved into her again, he made sure he twisted, and
smiled when she cried out. “You love me, don’t you.”
It wasn’t a question, but she answered
him. “Yes. Very much so. Please, Khan, I want to come. So badly. Help me.”
“I have to tell you something. Some of
it you might have figured out, but I need to tell you something important.” She
nearly had him forget what he was telling her when she lifted her legs higher
around him and hooked her ankles. “You never play fair.”
“Neither do you. Tell me or fuck me. I’m
dying here.” He laughed, and she moaned when he gave her three quick strokes
with his cock. “Please.”
“I’m wealthy.” She looked at him and
laid back down. “I had some money before, but after Walker and Caitlynne got
married, she set each of us up with a nice, fat account and paid off all our
debt.”
“Okay. Is that it? I don’t care how much
money you have. I have none, so we balance each other out. But if you don’t
give me what I want, I’m going to be a widow and have all your thousands
anyway.”
“Millions.” She stopped moving; her
breath caught. “I was a millionaire because of my business before she had given
us money. I was in the process of selling it off when she and Walker met. When
I found out about the money and after the sale of my business, I tried to give
it back to her and she said no. Did you know she was a billionaire?”
“This is her house?” He nodded. “I
thought it…I don’t know, came with the job she has with the CIA.”
He nuzzled her breast and took her
nipple into his mouth before he lifted his head again. “I want you to know that
no matter what it is you want to do, where you want to live, that you’ll never
have to worry about money. Ever.”
When he moved in her now, she didn’t
move. He didn’t mind and knew that he could bring her back to the point they’d
been before he’d spoken. He had needed to tell her because of the conversation
he’d had with Walker about his new mate.
Her climax rolled through her and she
grabbed his shoulders as he nipped at her throat. When he scraped his teeth
along the vein, she flipped him to his back and sat up.
“I want you to know that if you do this
to me again during sex, I’ll do the opposite of what I did to you this morning.
Understand?”
Khan rolled her back to her back and
pounded hard through several strokes before he lifted his head. “You are my
mate, now and forever. I never want you to worry. Ever.”
Lowering his head, he bit her. Her
scream of pleasure brought him over the tight edge he’d been near since he’d
entered her. He felt her lick his own throat and tilted his head to let her
have him. When her teeth sank hard and successfully drew blood, he came again,
emptying himself of not only his climax, but of everything he was.
Sealing the wounds at her throat, he
felt her tongue do the same to him. He lifted his head and looked down at her. She
was looking a little pissed, so he kissed her again. He rolled them so that she
was spread over him and he was on his back.
“Why did you tell me like that? Were you
afraid I’d run away from you or something?”
He laughed. “No. I told you like that
because I didn’t want you to ever think that you have to worry. Walker said you
asked Caitlynne if I was going to lose my job being here with you.”
She sat up and rested her chin on her
hand. “I don’t know that much about you. Hardly anything. Like, what is your
birthday?”
“July twenty-fourth. Yours is March
tenth. And Marshall told me. But that’s all I know too. We should spend some time
together seeing the Capitol and hanging out together.” He laid her head back on
his chest. “After a nap. You’ve worn me out.”
They enjoyed the day. Monica had never
been to DC before and she’d not seen much more of the city than Caitlynne’s
back yard and house since she’d come here with Caitlynne over three weeks ago. And
Khan was being a wonderful tour guide. He told her that for his business, he’d
traveled a great deal and had seen a lot of capitals.
“I had a very nice law firm. We worked
all sorts of cases and had a few high profile trials. During that time, I did a
lot of traveling for myself. I had to get away at the time. Then after
Roseann…after her, I simply sold out and went back home to lick my wounds.”
Monica nodded. She knew about licking
wounds. She had been doing the same thing since Tony had decided that she was
for him. They stopped at a little restaurant and had some wonderful gyros and
fries. She couldn’t believe how much she was able to eat nowadays.
