Rising Up: Finding Me book 1 (22 page)

"Thank you Luc."  My smile is weak but heartfelt.  Maddie walks back up to me and hands me a chocolate bar.

"Eat it Ginny, you need the sugar in you now.  Just pretend you’re in a Harry Potter book, chocolate always helps."  She gives me a wink and stands back next to me.

"Okay Ms. Banks, I'm sorry to have caused such a dreadful reaction for you, and I can see that you are obviously very distressed at the idea of your father being involved.  Tell me, what does your father do for a living?"

"Oh, um. He's a lecturer at the university near us.  Why what has that got to do with anything?"

"Bear with me please, what does he teach?"  He is patiently waiting for my answer.

"He teaches advanced computer programming specializing in software design.  But he also teaches at a local college for night students but that is a more basic computer study course for beginners and intermediates."

"Thank you."  His manner changes then and he lean towards me.  "Did you know that Mr. Jenkins knows your father?  He has made many calls to his cell and has received them as well and has voice mail messages from him too.  The most recent call to him was yesterday before he approached you.  He also has been in contact with your mother and it seems she has disappeared and no-one seems to know where she is?"

"I don't believe this, how do they know each other?  This is ridiculous!  Peter Jenkins is a very successful businessman with a multi-million pound turnover, what bloody use can my dad be to him?  Mason, what aren't they telling me?"  I turn to face him pleading for the truth.

"Ms. Banks, we believe Mr. Williams put him in touch with Mr. and Mrs. Reid so that he would be able to find out all about you.  It seems that you were targeted by Mr. Williams and your parents were paid to hand you over to him.  A large amount of money was deposited in your parents’ bank account soon after you started your relationship with him. 

Your first job was with one of Mr. Jenkins businesses and he then encouraged you to apply for your position within Mr. Williams’ production company.  You were handed to them all on a plate by your parents.  We think you father is now part of the team orchestrating men to enter the States to try and get hold of you.  Mr. Williams has promised them both an awfully large amount of money for your return to him."

"Why did he want me so much?  What purpose could I have for him?"  Throwing my hands up in the air I'm pacing the room trying to digest all the information being thrown at me.  "This is why he was so rude to me wasn’t it?  Did he think I was starting to work something out?”

The detective nods.  ""We haven't worked that question out ourselves yet, which is why we would really like to find your mother.  Does she or has she ever use a different name?"

"Oh my God yes she does, she was a dancer for London stage shows and she went under her mother’s maiden name.  She called herself Liza Westwood, you could try that one."  I could see Lucas furiously tapping on his laptop for her details.

"Imogen you are brilliant!  She is here, she entered the country three days ago and has booked in at the Radisson Hotel on Upper Main Street."  Lucas looks up at me smiling broadly.

"Okay, I think we should wrap it up here for now.  Ms. Banks you have been exceptional today, as I said yesterday you are a very brave woman.  I've got a team going to the hotel now and we will keep you informed of any progress.  Mr. Davenport has all of my details and as your lawyer we will be keeping him informed.  Lucas is in constant touch with us so I would really like to hope that we are keeping you safe from harm.  Good afternoon everyone." Smiling he walks out with his partner who also gives me a smile.

Collapsing back on a chair I let out a huge sigh of relief.  What an exhausting morning.  I look around the room and everyone else seems as drained as I am, looking at the clock I see it's almost 2.30.  How can we have been here for three hours?  Dragging myself out of the chair I look at Maddie.  "Shall we get some lunch Mads?  I'm starving."

"Yeah, me too.  I think Mason sent out to the deli for us, come on let's get out of here and let these three work things out."

Mason gives me a long quizzical look.  "Are you okay babe?"  His hand reaches out to me and I walk into his open arms.

"No, not really but I need some time out for a while.  Come and see me later."  Kissing him I turn and walk away with Maddie.

Jake

"Hang on a minute precious, let me get my phone."  The girl, I don't what her name is, releases my cock from her mouth while I reach over to answer.  "Okay, carry on.  You’re doing a great job."  I've got my hands on her head pushing myself deeper and deeper into her throat and loving the sound when she starts to gag.  My phone is tucked under my chin and I can hear Martin shrieking down it.

"Hold on just a minute Martin."  I stand up causing what’s-her-name to fall back on the floor so stepping over her I listen again.  "What do you mean he's been arrested?  Shit Martin, what the fuck is going on?"  I'm this close to blowing my top, how the hell can my life be collapsing around me because of one stupid bitch!  Why the fuck didn't I just stick to picking up strangers for a night with me and the boys.  I'm throwing things around the room paying no attention to the scared naked girl in the floor.

"She's given all the names out?  Fuck man we are seriously screwed.  You'd better shut things down over there and get your arse stateside pronto!  What?  The police have already visited and are getting a warrant for all the computers.  Are you fucking kidding me?  Don't you think you should have started this conversation with that, you prick!  Well you better get on to wiping them all clean, that is what you do right? What's going on with Damien?  Just fucking find out, last time we spoke he was getting out of here sharpish.  What's Elizabeth doing?"  After ending the shitty call my body is pumping with adrenalin and knowing what sort of release I need I drag the girl back up to the bed by her hair and push her flat on her back and straddle her chest.

"Suck my dick bitch!  Take it all!"  Kneeling over her terrified face I force her mouth open with my thumbs and ram my cock hard down her throat.  "Go on suck it, I'm gonna fuck you so hard."  Spit is flying from my mouth as I talk I am so angry.  After forcing myself down her throat I start on the rest of her.

"For God's sake stop crying.  You came on to me remember?" Punching her hard in her face.  I shove her underwear in her mouth giving me some peace to continue, my cock is hard again and pounding in and out of her tight cunt, I can't stop myself from biting hard on her tits not caring about the bite marks and the blood.  Pinning her arms above her head I can feel my climax building.  God I love the power I have over her, my orgasm reaches its peak and I'm coming hard.  After collapsing down I'm still not satisfied, pulling the gag out of her mouth I make her suck me till I'm hard again and then flip her over and slap her backside hard, hell yeah this is it. 

I'm still slapping her when I pull her hips up and fuck her tight butthole.  I can tell she's never done this but really don't care and pound inside her in one hard stroke.  Oh crap she's screaming now, why won't they ever just shut up!  Pushing my hand down her back so her face is buried in the pillow I fuck her hard, I can see the blood flowing out of her hole but it just spurs me on.  "Fuck! Yes, that's it bitch squeeze me tight!" My other hand is up her cunt it's a tight fit but oh so good!  Thank fuck she’s stopped crying and has gone still.

Rolling off her body and pushing her to one side, she has blood dripping down her thighs but so what she wanted it.  After a quick shower I get dressed, "I've got to go.  Thanks for a fun time."  Throwing $50 on top of her the lazy bitch hasn’t even moved.  Oh, who cares?  I’m out of here not waiting to hear any reply from her.

As I’m walking out of the motel I see a pretty girl studying me, taking her time to look me up and down.  Shame I haven't got time to pick her up.  When I reach my hire car I look back and see that she's still looking at me but is on her phone and I suddenly get a shiver down my spine and think there might be more to her than just a pretty face, when she smiles at me and waves.  Blanking her from my mind I race down to the Radisson to Elizabeth.

Driving through the entrance I see there's two police cars parked out front so I'm not going to stop here, and drive straight out again.  It really feels like my perfect world is about to come crashing down, I need to get hold off that bitch and put an end to her once and for all.

My phone is ringing and when I look its Martin again.  "This better be good news Martin because my day has gone to shit!"  My hands are gripping the steering wheel so hard as I hear what he says.  Crap, Damien has been arrested and the police have the warrant for everything in his office.  I call Marcus and Leo but neither answers so after leaving messages I head off to find a new place to stay.

Mason

Imogen has been quiet all night and I've decided to not push her, in my experience the longer you leave someone the quicker they are to breach the barrier.  It takes until we are both in bed and the lights are off before I hear her sigh and take a deep breath.

"Am I such a bad person Mason, did I really deserve all this?"  She pauses and I know this is rhetorical, so I keep my mouth shut and pull her into the crook of my arm so her head is resting on my chest.  "I was never in trouble, I always worked hard at school, I was second in my class at University and I never did anything to make my parents ashamed. 

I never brought trouble home or got pregnant, shit I don't think I was ever drunk at home, so why have they done this?"  Her voice hitches in her throat and I lean down to kiss her forehead.

"I don't know babe.  I really don't.  Can you tell me about how you met Jake and your life with him before all of this?"  My voice is low and quiet and for a very long time Ginny stays quiet.

"It was about two and a half years ago....

“Melanie you won't believe who's called me for an interview.  Well not actually him but his secretary.  Are you ready?  Jake Bloody Williams!!"  Mel shrieks back at me I can almost see her jumping up and down.

"What about Mr. Stares-a-lot Jenkins?  I thought you had a cushy job with him?"

"It was him that recommended me, he said he could 'see a lot of potential' in me and thought I'd enjoy it more at Jake Williams' production company.  I'm seeing him tomorrow so get yourself over here and help me sort out what to wear."

"I'm already on my way sweetie.  See you in a few."

"The interview obviously went well and I was offered the post.  My parents were ecstatic, and we now know why, they had already been approached by Peter Jenkins.  But I can't believe they knew what sort of person he is.

"Heidi, Mr. Williams would like to see you in his office right now please." 

I was a bit scared of his secretary she always seemed to look down her nose at me, but I pick up my notebook and head in. 

After knocking on the door he calls me in.

"Ah Heidi, I'm so glad you came to join our happy team but I have a rather difficult problem, my date for the TV Awards has let me down, some sort of family emergency shit, anyway I need a date tonight and I would like you to be it.  If that's okay with you?"

"Er.. Well thank you but really I don't have anything suitable for that sort of evening, and I do have to catch up on all the notes left by predecessor."  I can hear my voice getting higher as the panic sets in.

"Oh don't worry about that, I'll get something sent over for you to wear and we'll get someone else to do the notes.  Thank you so much Heidi you have got me out of quite a jam.  Celia out the front will fill you in on all the details."

Picking up the phone I call Mel first and she whoops at me down the phone calling me the luckiest bitch under the sun, then I call my mother and she is equally thrilled for me.

“It was the first of many evenings he cajoled me into going to, sometimes they were important events but others it was just dinner at a restaurant that had become a popular place for celebrities to hang out, and he was always up for a photo in a gossip mag.  At first it was scary but exciting, but after a month or two I heard him tell a reporter that I was his girlfriend and what my name was.  This bothered me but what could I say he was my boss after all.

"Why did you tell them I'm your girlfriend Jake when we both know this is purely publicity for you?"

"Because Heidi precious, I would like you to be my girlfriend and I think you like me too.  Look, why don't we go back to my place and spend some time together and get to know each other some more.  I'm sure we have many things in common, so what do you say"   He holds his hand out for me to take and off we go.

"Jake, why would you want to be with me?  I mean there are so many beautiful famous women who would look much better on your arm than me."  We are sat in his penthouse overlooking the river and when I turn my head away from the stunning view I can see he looks angry with me.  "Jake what's wrong?  I'm sorry if I've upset you, I just don't understand what you see in me."

"Precious, look at me.  When I look at you I see innocence and frailty I just want to take care of you, if you would let me."  Walking over to me his hands cup my face and leaning down he places the softest kiss on my lips pulling away without taking it any further.  "So Heidi, would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?"

A giggle escapes me and I nod an affirmative.  Then he kisses me properly and my legs go weak, this is nothing like the drunken fumbling’s I’d had at college.  This was a 100% all man jelly-legs kiss, and that was it I knew he had me now.

“The next three or four months were perfect he treated me as any boyfriend would, he was kind and attentive.  I was introduced to his close friends and we both know who they are.  But it started to go wrong after I'd been out to a Christmas party at Maddie's firm. 

I was late getting back and although I wasn't drunk by any standards I'd had a couple of drinks.  We weren't living together then but he had me move in after this.

Walking in the door I drop my bag on the floor and walk through to make a cup of tea when a hand grabs me and pushes me against the wall.  "Oh God!  Please don't hurt me."  Then my light switches on and I see it's Jake. "Jesus Jake, you scared the crap out of me.  What are you doing here I thought we weren't seeing each other tonight?"

"I can fucking tell that!  What are you wearing?  You look like a whore in that dress.  Who were you sniffing around tonight?  How many men got to stare at your tits hanging out, Eh?"

"I don't know what you're talking about Jake, honestly honey.  I was at Melanie's works party I told you about it weeks ago and you said you were fine with it.  God it's not even late."  The grip on my throat has loosened and I'm pulled towards my bedroom and thrown on the bed.

"You know what if you're going to dress like a slut then I'm going to treat you like one!"  He's sneering at me with a look of contempt in his face.  Leaning over me on the bed he reaches up to my dress and rips the front open causing my boobs to fall free.  "Christ!  You're not even wearing a bra.  You are such a slut I'm going to teach you a lesson."  His fist comes up and smacks me in the eye causing me to see stars.

"Oh God Jake. Stop! That really bloody hurt.  What the fuck is up with you?"  Tears are pouring out of my eyes even though the one he hit is already closing.

"I'll show you what's up with me."  He's tearing my dress off completely now and rips my knickers off.  "You're my girlfriend and I wanted to be with you tonight but you'd fucked off with that bitch friend of yours!"

Climbing on top of me he is biting my boobs and forcing my legs apart with his knees then he's ramming himself inside me and his hand comes back up to my throat and starts squeezing.

"Jake I can't breathe, stop.  Shit Jake I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry."  As soon as I say that he stops choking me but doesn't finish his assault on my body until his orgasm rips from him.

"Good.  I'm glad you've realized this is all you fault.  Don't do it again.  I don't want you seeing your friend again."  Getting up off the bed he pushes me to the floor and stamps hard down on my hand.  "Oh, you look like shit so you'd better stay away from the office this week.  I'll send your work in an email."

That was my first and last visit to the hospital."

"Is that the time I heard you talking to Maddie about?"

"Yeah, the photograph was taken by someone waiting for some friends but recognized me and sold it to a trashy newspaper."

"So he blacked your other eye.  Shit Ginny I don't know what to say?  Was that when he broke you fingers too?"  Ginny's fingers are winding themselves through the ones on one of my hands, my other hand is stroking her hair and my fingers twist in and out of the soft curls trying to offer some sort of comfort.

"Yes, the next time was a few months later and I happened to be talking to a colleague at a gallery opening, and Jake decided that I was shagging him. I think that was two broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. 

It was after that that, he decided to change tack and was all loving again and so apologetic and contrite that I forgave him, and life was good for another good few months, we had a normal loving relationship and that's when he started to introduce tying me up, which as you know I enjoy." 

Looking up at me with a devilish glint in her eye. I don't know how she can bear to let me touch her after what he has done to her.  But I'm so glad she does.  I kiss her nose.  "I enjoy that too babe."

I'm so glad everything is good again, in fact it's better than good, the sex has become so exciting I never thought I'd like being tied up but hell it’s pretty damned good.

"Hey Jake I'm home."  Walking into the main room I can see Damien and Marcus are with him.  "Oh, sorry guys, I didn't realize you were coming round tonight.  I'll leave you all to it."  Leaning over to give Jake a kiss he sweeps me off my feet and onto his lap and continues to kiss me passionately.  I can hear the other guys talking about me and try to wriggle away.

"Oh no you don't precious.  The guys are just leaving so you go and get showered and I'll be in."

"Okay, bye you two see you soon." Waving I walk into our room but hear one of them mumble 'not if we see you first'.  Ignoring it I hit the shower, Jake walks in a couple of minutes later and joins me.

"I fancy tying you up and doing rude things to you tonight what do you say to that?"  His hands are rubbing soap over my breasts and stomach and getting me very turned on

"I say 'Yes please Mr. Williams, Sir."  And giggle and get out of the shower after drying off he lies me down and ties my hands up above my head and spreads my legs apart and ties them to the base of the bed.  I can already hear his heavy breathing and then his hands start to caress my legs and lead up to my thighs and then cupping my sex he rubs his palm over my clit.  It feels so good.

"Precious can we have a fifty shades moment? I want to play music to you while I worship your body."

"Yeah that sounds like fun, are you going to blindfold me too?"

"Too damned right, so enough talking now just listen."

My world is plunged into darkness and my ears are filled with one of my favourite playlists.  His hands are all over me, his tongue is on my breast while his fingers pinch and tweak at my other nipple and his other hand reaches down and slips inside my soaked sex. 

He slowly and leisurely make love to me and as he climbs back up my body and straddles my chest I feel his dick on my lips darting my tongue out I can taste myself on him opening up more I take him deeper into my mouth as he leans over me. 

Suddenly I feel another set of hands on me and start to struggle but Jake doesn't move from over me and keep slowly pushing himself in and out of my mouth

The strange hands become more persistent and probing my clit is being rubbed and pinched while two fingers slide in and out of me.  Then the music stops and I can hear Jake.

"Just go with the feelings precious, you look and feel amazing. I love watching my cock sliding in and out of your mouth so suck me hard Heidi, make me come while you enjoy the feelings you are experiencing, you make me so happy."

The fingers are replaced by a mouth and even though I'm frightened and horrified I can feel my body reacting to the ministrations of an expert tongue.  Suddenly an orgasm tears from me as my assailant continues to lap at me.  Jake has pulled back slightly and I can hear him stroking himself to climax, soon he lets out a loud groan and pours his release into my mouth and over my face. 

Moving away from me he starts stroking my breasts again and then the other man moves away from between my thighs and I feel him over my face and his dick pushes against my lips.

"Suck him precious, just like you did to me, I am so proud of you I'm going to give you another orgasm.  I know you are loving this as much as I am, your cunt is swollen and pulsing waiting to pour it's juices over my tongue, so make me happy and suck him hard and swallow his cum for me."

I can't believe this is happening to me, I want to shut myself away and never see or speak to anyone ever again, I'm sure they'll be able to see my shame all over my face.  But I know Jake will hurt me if I don't do this.  Opening up I let the unknown man fuck my mouth.  I know I'm crying but Jake doesn't notice or care he is running his tongue in and out of me his thumb and finger are rolling my clit and I can feels my body tensing and I know I'm going to come again and at this moment I hate my body.

"She's going to come mate so you'd better finish up soon."  Jake is laughing.  "Suck him harder precious there's a good girl."  He goes back to licking and stroking me then as my back goes rigid he bites down on my clit and I start to come.  The man above me hardens and then starts to pour into me, he also pulls out so he can spray my face and neck.

Leaning back over me he chuckles and says.  "Best blow job I've ever had I'll be sure to come back for more."

"I told you she was good!  See yourself out mate." He unties my legs and arms before removing my eye mask.  "Well done precious, I knew you had that in you and look how much your body enjoyed it, how many times did you come?  I think I lost count, I think next time I’ll just watch them take you."  He gets up and walks back to the shower without a backward glance.
