“Please, I’ve been good.”
He reaches up for me and force myself not to flinch. His hand is ice cold as he holds my face, and when his lips touch mine, a part of me dies. He hums. “You are good, Annie. I will reward your behavior.”
He uncuffs me and I am humiliated as I sit on the toilet. He washes my hands for me when I’m done, scrubbing until the skin is red. When he reaches for the cuff, I smile. “I won’t run. I promise.”
“Even if you did, you won’t get far.”
When he opens the door, I have a decision to make. And I do it without hesitation. I tear off across the hall and slam the door, then turn the frail lock. “That’s not smart, Annie.” Poe says in a creepy warning.
I know I don’t have a lot of time, but I have to at least try. I run to the closet and open the door, and Tara doesn’t even open her eyes. “Tara, wake up!” I grab her thighs and try to lift her, but I’m so weak. “Wake up, wake up, wake up. We’ve gotta get out of here.”
I try again, and that’s when the door opens. Poe walks in, slapping a paddle against his palm.Fuck that.I decide to charge at him to take him off guard, but a sharp noise cuts through the air.
A sudden rumble, a growl, vibrates the walls, and then I see him.
Ben doesn’t even look at me, he goes straight at Poe. He wraps his fingers around his neck, then throws him to the ground. Following him down, Ben clamps one hand around Poe’s throat, then uses the other and starts pounding Poe’s face. Poe tries to scream with what little oxygen he can get, and then a bunch of other guys storm in and it takes two of them to pull Ben off Poe, and a third to prevent him from going back at him.
“What the fuck?” Drew is lifting Tara off the hook, and another person I don’t know goes to help him.
My knees wobble and before I can fall, Ben is there. He has me in his arms and I shove my face in his neck. “Joan Wick?”
“She’s fine. It wasn’t her.”
“I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have—”
“I’m the one who’s sorry.” Ben rumbles as he carries me down the hall.
We get outside and I take a few seconds to realize we’re in the middle of nowhere. A million questions are running through my mind, but I couldn’t care less about details right now.
He opens the back of a Tahoe and sets me in the seat. “Look at me.” Our eyes collide and when he reaches up to hold my face, his fingers are trembling. “Are you okay?”
“I knew you’d find me.”
“Took way too fucking long. Where are you hurt, what—”
“I knew you’d find me.” I cut him off. “I was scared, but I knew you’d find me. I’m sure I’m going to have nightmares, but I feel like I’ve been living in one for so long. It’s finally over, isn’t it?”
“No.” His lips curve up and he bends down to brush them over mine. “We’re just starting, Blue.”

Four months later…
Annie’s head digs into the pillows, and I watch her tremble as it washes over her, until I can’t take it anymore. I snatch the toy out of her hand and flip her to her stomach, pulling her hips up before sliding my cock deep inside. “Fuck, your pussy’s so tight.”
I bend over and cup her breasts, toying with her nipples and loving that she clamps tight every time I pinch them. “Ben, God. Harder.”
Making her come is addicting, and she trusts me to always make it good for her, so she comes a variety of ways. She gets off on me talking dirty and even more when I’m bossy, but her favorite thing is watching me stroke my cock as I watch her play with herself. I love it, too, and not just because she gets soaking wet, but because she loses her mind when I fuck her after she makes herself come.
Which is what she’s doing now. She pushes up on her hands and rears back into my thrusts, but I pull her up so she’s on her knees, her legs splayed wide, her wrists in my hand against her chest. “More, Benny, please. I need more…touch me.”
“What do you need, baby?” I bring my free hand around and press a finger right above her clit. “Touch you here?” She shakes her head but doesn’t answer. “Here?” I barely tap her clit and she gasps.
“Yes, yes, baby, yes. Right there.”
I toy with her, barely grazing that sweet spot, but when I feel my balls tighten, I finally give her what she needs and press hard. She comes immediately, and I feel a rush of wetness as she clenches tight and starts rolling her hips, grinding down. “Fuck yeah, Annie. Work that pussy.”
