SAGE (14 page)

She backed up and turned away.

I nodded at Adam.

He would keep an eye on them.

I threw the duffel bags in the back seat.

We got in the car.

I drove in silence while she checked the money. 

It was clean.

She checked Scott’s bag. 

She went through the passports, shuffled through the papers, and inspected the gold, coins, and money.

She opened the duffel bag.

I heard the soft sigh leave her lips. 

I know she was surprised by what was in there.

She adjusted her gloves and put on another pair.

Sage pulled out a handful of jewels: emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and diamonds. Her eyes sparkled.

“These are so beautiful.” She said softly.

“The net worth of the bag is close to fifty million.”

She went weak in the seat next to me. 

The sun begin to set. I talked as I drove.

She listened and didn’t react to what she heard.

The jewels on her lap reflected the light.

The shimmer on her skin gave her a warm glow.

Her eyes sparkled and she was awfully beautiful.

I kept it honest and confessed my soul.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

SAGE

Colorado - Bank #6 

The white lights in the hotel lounge matched the rustic charm. I sat in a comfortable chair filled with colorful pillows.  It was early evening and we had an amazing view of the mountains. There was a chill in the air. The fresh breeze came in through the balcony doors. I stared at the logs in the fireplace. I was calm.

I’m glad Ramsey was honest with me.

He made a safe decision.

Like I said before, my attitude isn’t the best.

It’s been two days since we left Wyoming.

I didn’t like the situation but I won’t shut him out.

I don’t do the silent treatment or withhold sex.

I won’t punish myself because I’m mad.

So, we had angry sex. 

I shifted in the chair.

I thought about the wild naughty things we did.

I bit my lip and blushed.

Yeah, I was a fool to ever leave him. 

The double doors opened and a woman walked in.

Her heels clicked on the wood floor.

She wore a skin tight lace dress.

Her make-up enhanced her pretty face.

She had a drawn on full pout.

“Ramsey.” She cooed. “Gosh, I’ve missed you.”

Her hair fell seductively over one eye.

“Charlotte this is Sage.” His eyes locked on mine. 

“Why are you introducing me to her?”  Charlotte spat.

I’m too possessive to deal with this.

Ramsey better talk to her. I don’t handle drama well.

“Sage is where home is.” Ramsey said. “I know when I have it good at but you don’t. You’re playing with Conrad’s money while fucking his son. He’ll kill you both.”

“Ramsey and I were lovers” Charlotte stared at me.

“He worked for Conrad and Scott wasn’t around then. I wanted Ramsey but he didn’t want to be tied down. He made his money and left.  Well, I didn’t want to be alone and broke. So Conrad was the best choice. I didn’t meet Scott until he came to work for his father. Ramsey was the one for me. He said no one had ever done it like me. I was the best…”

“At sucking dick.”  I finished her sentence.

“I know. He told me and you can keep the title.”

Scott smiled. Yeah look at him. Dumbass.

Some of the men chuckled.

“Shut up.” She snapped at them

“Ramsey how could you tell her!”

He ignored her. “Tell me about Milo.” 

“I don’t know who killed him.” 

“I didn’t say he was dead.” Ramsey said.

My eyes narrowed.  She’s lying. I’ll kill her.

“Hey, Darlin.” 

I heard Ramsey’s voice. 

“Yes.”  I stared at Charlotte.

“Look at me.”  His voice was calm.

I glanced at him.

We were outnumbered.

I knew that but I was quick and so was he.

He gave me the calm the fuck down look.

I took a breath and nodded.

He winked at me and that made Charlotte mad.

I laughed at her.

She had a temper tantrum.

Ramsey put an end to it quick.

He knew I would fuck her up.

His presence was powerful.

He could control any situation.

Charlotte’s whiny ass fell in line quick.

Ramsey asked questions and she answered. Conrad sent men to kill Milo. The painting heist was a cover for the real thief Scott paid to get the key codes and papers from the warehouse. He used the information to steal pallets of money at another location. I listened and shook my head. Scott and this foolish woman stole from a dangerous man. This guy shipped money in heavy plastic on pallets. He had fifty million dollars’ worth of jewels in a safety deposit box. Not to mention the small gem collection, money, coins, and the legal papers. Scott was lame as shit. He wants his father’s empire. Charlotte is the mastermind. What! I laughed. How tragic is that? Ramsey could rob the banks with no problem but he wouldn’t have unless he had a reason to. Charlotte saw the chance when Billy and Milo ran their mouth to Scott.  I didn’t know how she thought this would go. I knew my man. Yes, he’s mine and he didn’t like to be used or played with.

Ramsey told them the other banks would be hit. He didn’t care about Scott’s weak attempt to take over his father’s empire.

Scott asked about the jewels.

He said he needed to sell them.

Ramsey ignored him.

Those gems would be hard to sell. 

It would be a long process and secret buyers.

Scott didn’t know a damn thing about this business.

Ramsey told them our price went up to fifty percent.

We were in too deep. He stood up to leave.

Charlotte asked him to stay and tried to reminisce.

I smiled and decided I would kill her soon.

Ramsey knew where I was with it. 

“Sweetheart, come to me.”  His eyes locked on me.              

Charlotte whined.

It took everything in me not to punch her in the mouth.

I went over to Ramsey.

He gave me a passionate kiss.

I was breathless when he finished.

He took my hand.

I followed him out the room.

I glanced over my shoulder.

The look on Charlotte’s face was priceless.

He picked me up in the hall.

I wrapped my legs around his waist. 

He knew how possessive I was. 

I relaxed in his arms.

He carried me to the elevators.

We went inside and he put me against the wall.

My pussy was pressed against his  hard ridge.

The elevator dropped a level. 

It created an erotic sensation.

He gave me a rough kiss.

The elevator doors opened.

He snatched me up and stepped out.

I spoke to him in his language.

I told him he was mine.

I grinded against him.

“I’ll fuck you right here.” He rushed to our room.

He shifted me in his arms and pulled the key card out of his pocket. He hit the panel and it lit.

We tumbled into the room. 

He held me firm.

I did a slow grind with my hips. 

He palmed my butt and pulled off my boots.

I pressed my back against the wall.

I unbuckled my pants.

His fingers traced my panty line. 

He grabbed my pants and panties.

He yanked them down and I moaned.

My legs were open. I was fully exposed.

His eyes sparked with lust. 

He ripped my shirt and broke the straps on my bra

My breast sprung free.

I unsnapped it and unbuckled his pants.

He took off his shirt. 

I caressed the tattoo on his chest.

I arched against him.

I shoved my hand down his pants.

I stroked his length.

He growled.

I stared into his eyes. 

I said the words again in his language.

He held my butt and dropped to his knees.

He gripped me and I spread my legs wide.

“I am yours.” He said the words in his native tongue.

His mouth touched me there.

He gave my pussy an exotic kiss.

The emotion hit me full force. 

My thighs trembled.

He french kissed and licked through the wetness.

He sucked my clit.

The world around us disappeared.

His tongue plunged in deeper.

I grabbed handfuls of his hair. 

He threw my legs over his shoulder.

His mouth adored me.

The pressure from his tongue pulled me into it.

My passionate cries filled the room.

I climaxed hard and gushed into his mouth.

He held me and sucked my wetness. 

He balanced my weight on his arm.

I heard the sound of fabric.

I felt a slight shift.

I gazed down at him. 

His pants were down to his thighs.

His dick was in the perfect positon.

He was so damn.. Oh god.

I screamed as he thrust deep inside.

My ankles were on his shoulders.

He held me and started an erotic grind. 

The pressure was deep and sensual. 

He leaned forward. . 

My nipples throbbed.

He gave me a rough kiss and fucked me.

The friction and his hard thrusts made my eyes water.

He rocked and bounced me.

I cried out his name.

The orgasm ripped through me.

He stood up still buried deep. 

The intense pressure made my hips jerk.

He eased out and stepped out of his boots.

I turned around and poked my butt out for him.

I heard his pants hit the floor. 

I glanced over my shoulder.

He grabbed my neck.

His lips brushed my face. 

His mouth locked on mine and he thrust back inside. 

He took my breath and fucked me until I collapsed.

He carried me to bed and made love to me slow.

I fell into the ecstasy and he promised himself to me.

We climaxed and I sobbed from the emotion.

He wiped my tears and held me until I was calm. 

I let him take care of me. 

We took a hot bath and he gave me a massage. 

We ordered room service.

He feed me in between kisses.

I thought it was too early for bed.

He kissed my forehead.

We had an early start.

He wanted me to feel rested.

I fell asleep in his arms and forgot about Charlotte. 

I woke up the next morning feeling good.

I wasn’t as sore as I thought I would be. 

We ran through our routine quick.

We checked out of the hotel.

We met Adam at the checkpoint.  

Ramsey talked with him.

I checked to make sure I had everything.

Scott and Mitch came early for a change.

Charlotte was in the truck. 

Ramsey was on it. 

She told him she wanted to do it like all times. 

I stepped to his side.

We knew this bank was bigger.

It would make sense to have more people. 

Ramsey glanced at me.

He told her I would decide.

Charlotte raised her voice.

I was about to jump on the truck door.

I felt Ramsey’s hand on waist. 

Nah, I wouldn’t let her get to me.

I told him it was fine.
