Chapter Six

Raven

We swam in the ocean and the pool. We’ve fucked in the hot tub. Everything about being here with Cross has felt so right but wrong at the same time. Maybe it’s all a big fuck you to Luke. Maybe that’s why I’m doing this. In the back of my mind, I’d like to say that’s not true, but what if it is? What would Cross do if he knew about him? About what he’d done? Would he turn on him? Would he still want to help me exact my revenge? I doubt it. And when I finally get my revenge, it will ruin Cross. It will break him in ways I will never be able to forgive myself for, but it’s what Luke deserves.

I shake my head, riding him from my thoughts. I don’t need to think about him right now. I need to focus on Cross and the little time I have left with him. Cross, Evie, Drake, and I sit in the hot tub together while the guys talk. For the most part, I’ve tuned them out, but when I hear the word trafficking, I tune back in.

“Up north, Gainesville area. It’s about a five-hour ride,” Drake says as I try to pick up on the conversation.

“You got proof?” Cross asks. Drake smirks at him, telling him all he needs to know. “I’m down to ride,” Cross announces.

“Figured you would be. Gainesville hasn’t been on our radar, but it’s gettin’ pretty bad up there. No one’s reportin’ on it either. Fuckin’ news just keeps it under wraps. Don’t want to tarnish the good old chicken capital of the world,” Drake snarls.

“I lived near there when I was little. Cleveland area,” I tell them.

“You did? Heard that’s a small town,” Drake asks.

“It is. Not much happens there, but it’s close enough to Gainesville,” I admit.

“You ever plan on goin’ back?” I shake my head.

“Nothing there for me anymore. My parents moved on a long time ago.”

“Where’s the last place you lived?”

“Here in Savannah,” I answer. I won’t give away too much information. I don’t want Cross to know all about me.

“You like it here? I mean, aside from what happened,” Drake pushes.

“I love it here. I don’t think I’d want to live anywhere else,” I reply. It’s true. I love Savannah, but I no longer know how to be comfortable here. How will I live on my own knowing what’s out there now?

“You hate it too?” Cross asks as I nod my head.

“I hate what happened. I hate that it’s so close to home. It makes me nervous to think about,” I explain.

“I think you’ve been doing great,” Evie chimes in.

“Thank you. You’ve been amazing to me. I can’t thank you enough for that either,” I tell her. It’s the truth. Evie and Cheryl have been amazing. They would do anything for the girls that were rescued.

“No need to thank me. I’m just glad I could be there,” she says with a smile. Cross throws his arm around my shoulder and pulls me into his side. I snuggle into him, resting my head on his shoulder as the guys talk a little more. Before I know it, Drake and Evie are climbing out of the hot tub. Cross grabs my thigh and pulls on it until I stand and turn to straddle him.

“What are you doing?” I ask with a grin on my face.

“A repeat of the last time,” he tells me. I smile and lean into him, kissing him. His lips are soft and so fucking perfect. His tongue slips into my mouth, and I moan around it. Then I feel his hand sliding down my back and gripping my ass. I groan and press my body closer to his.

“You want me, baby?” he asks, raising his hips to hit me in the most delicious way. My body heats, coiling inside of me. I need him. It isn’t so much about want anymore. It’s a primal need I feel for him. No one else will do. No one else could come close to what I’m feeling for Cross. But that’s where it ends. It has to.

“Always,” I moan as he slips a finger under my bikini bottoms and finds my clit. He slowly circles it, and my body jerks against him. Cross knows all the right places to touch me, tease me. He knows how to make me writhe with need and make me come like a freight train. The thought should bother me, but it doesn’t. I want him inside of me. I need him inside of me.

Cross pulls his shorts down and frees his cock before spinning me around to face away from him. He slides my bottoms to the side, and I feel his hard length at my entrance. It takes one thrust for him to be buried inside of me. One thrust to make me forget everything else.

Cross moves his hands to my hips and shoves me down his length as I moan. Then I’m moving on my own. I rock my hips and take him inside me. I roll my hips and get him deeper as he groans. His fingers dig into my flesh, and I can’t help but love the sensation of it all. I can’t help but love feeling him mark me. I raise up and slowly come back down, listening to the deep sounds he’s making behind me. They sound so feral and full of need. It drives me crazy knowing I make him feel like this, that I’m the one with the power to make this man moan my name, which is exactly what he’s doing right now.

“Fuck, Raven. You’re so goddamn good at this,” he gasps as he grips me harder.

“You like it?” I ask as I rock my hips and grind against him.

“I fuckin’ love it,” he growls. I raise and drop down his length, water splashing out of the hot tub as I move, and I couldn’t care less if anyone saw us right now. I don’t care if they hear me moaning his name. I don’t care if they see me riding his cock so hard my body screams. I just need this man.
