She shivered as she stared at the adolescent boy, who had red hair and green eyes just like hers. She peeked up at him, frowning at the look on his face. It wasn’t right.
“Colin,” she said softly, reaching out to turn him to her. She pressed closer, wrapping her arms loosely around his waist, feeling the slabs of hard muscle under her fingers. She craned her neck to look up at him, her eyes flickering back and forth between his chocolate ones.
“They would be so happy, that their lives were the example that has surely helped millions of people all around the world live safer lives. Who knows how many you’ve saved with your software? You have reinvented what it means for safe driving. Kind of like how Prince Harry is reinventing how social media is regulated. I wish that this was more well known years ago; maybe my parents would still be here. But guess what, if they were still here, then Vanessa and I probably wouldn’t have you and Jonathan. Allison might not have been able to get the care that she needed. Life is a domino effect and we really have no say in why things happen. But we can control how we pick up the pieces and move on. My love, you’ve done such a good job at picking up the pieces of your life. Look what you’ve done with your trauma. Look at what you’ve turned their deaths into. It wasn’t meaningless. You honor them every day.”
Colin’s breath hitched, and he turned his eyes once more to the family before nodding once and pulling her the rest of the way to him. There in the windowless room he let go, holding on to the love of his life. Finally forgiving himself.
They were walking back to the house before he spoke again. “We need to talk about Judge Carmichael,” he said suddenly, really hating to bring him up, but he needed to inform Olivia of how serious the situation was.
She glanced sharply at him. “What about him?” she asked hesitantly, really detesting the man at this point.
“Gypsy has been in touch with me. He’s unhinged, Olivia. I’m going to have to give you a security detail.” He held up his hand when she rounded on him with a shocked look on her face. “No. Listen to me,” he said sternly, hardening his gaze and crossing his arms. She softened.
“The man is unhinged,” he repeated. “Sources, or rather spies, have reported erratic behavior. I planned on leaking that video of him assaulting you that night at the gala but he seems to be doing a good job at ruining his career himself. I wanted to wait until I had more ammo to put with the video to really solidify the deal, but he’s been careful to make sure nothing gets back to his name. He’s got other folks doing his dirty work.”
“Okay, but what’s this got to do with me? No one’s come after me and I’ve been gone for fourteen weeks,” she said, pissed. She didn’t want to have a security detail tailing her.
“Baby, three redheaded women around your age have gone missing since you’ve been gone. That’s another reason we thought something happened to you. I was about to go to the man’s house and kill him in cold blood. It was only when your money came that I realized you were alive,” he said, his voice coming out harsh. Olivia shivered.
“Okay but…the redhead thing could just be a…a…” she trailed off as her excuses sounded lame. Even to herself. Three redhead women going missing in the area was a huge red flag even she couldn’t ignore. She looked at him helplessly.
“But Colin, I don’t want security!” she whined, almost stomping her foot. Her eyes widened as he stepped towards her with a harsh look on his face. Her temper tantrum tested him and she knew that. She stepped back cautiously.
“Well thank God I don’t care to talk about what you want right now. But what I would like to talk about, are my bikes,” Colin growled, never ending his predatory steps against her. His face tightened in a slightly harsh expression as her eyes widened even further.
She shook her head slightly and her steps became more hurried.
“Your bikes?” she said nervously, licking her lips and sideswiping a table with an umbrella.
Biting her bottom lip as her calves hit a lounge, she fell back rather gracelessly before scrambling to the other side. He faked to her right, and she dove to her left, still walking backwards. She screeched when she took another step feeling the concrete suddenly drop off. Her stomach dropped when Colin reached out a hand and grasped her by the middle string of her bikini top. He let her hang there, arched over the edge of the pool backwards, her arms flailing.
“Yes, my bikes that you so thoroughly fucked up. All six of the ten in the garage, including your Porsche. It looks like you took great pleasure in annihilating them,” he hissed, getting in her face, his knuckles pressing in the space between her breasts. Olivia’s eyes flashed.
“You’ll just fucking have to get over it then, won’t you sir?” she hissed back.
They stared off at each other in a clashing of wills before he suddenly unclenched his fist and dropped her into the deep end. She screamed before landing with a splash, coming up sputtering. Colin stepped in after her, barely making a sound as he sliced through the water, coming up silently behind her. She was still trying to rub water out of her eyes. He banded an arm across her torso and dragged her underneath the waterfall of the grotto and into the expansive space inside.
When they got inside, he crowded her against the wall and voice activated ‘Olivia’s nasty playlist’ which had her arching her eyebrow. He placed his hands on the lip of the wall on either side of her and pressed close, his mouth skimming her jaw as a seriously indecent song came over the speakers. She turned her face slightly away from him, her breath hitching as Colin rubbed his large, masculine body on hers. Whimpering, she slapped her arms across her chest as he suddenly untied her bikini top, peeling it from her body slowly.
Colin lowered his eyes to hers. “Lower your arms, Olivia,” he said in his deep voice.
He waited patiently as she caught her breath, her arms falling away from her breasts slowly. The rumble in his chest deepened the more flesh she exposed to his gaze. She shivered at the look in his eyes as he stared at her erect nipples, he raised a hand slowly over her ribcage until he cupped a breast in his big hand. His arms looked thicker than she’d remembered, betraying hours spent in the gym these last few weeks. Her face flushed deeper and her sex slickened, thinking of his big hard body being unleashed on hers yet again. He caught her eye again, a slight smirk on his face as he suddenly moved and grasped her nipple harshly between his fingers.
Olivia cried out as he manipulated the nub between his fingers.
“Now,” Colin said sharply, his teeth flashed with a dangerously feral smile as he crowded her space. “Let’s have a very important conversation. We need to come to an understanding, and quickly.”
Olivia trembled as he pressed his hips deep into hers, grinding and pressing her unforgivingly against the stone wall behind her. Her hands came up to lightly rest on his biceps.
“You ever, under any circumstances, fuck up my bikes again, you will regret it whole heartedly. I will punish you and won’t even say a word. Not a warning. You won’t even know it’s coming. And there won’t be any pleasure involved in it for you. Just straight up pain. Understand?” he growled in his deep voice.
Olivia swallowed thickly, her eyelashes fluttering as she looked up at him.
“Yes,” she whispered, slipping her bottom lip between her teeth. She sucked in a sharp breath as his fingers suddenly pinched her nipple harder. His eyes hardened further; he was not playing with her.
“Yes what, mama?” he rasped, that Latin flavor coming out thicker.
“Yes sir,” Olivia panted as he brought his other arm up behind her, sweeping up her back to cup her nape. Colin’s hand tightened threateningly. She keened softly in her throat. He pressed even closer, getting good and even with her face.
