Davis, Keyonna - Faceless Enemy [Pine Valley 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) (9 page)

Chase showed her the entire ranch. Kerri could tell that he went a little slow and went out of his way to avoid bumps to make the ride easier for her. He showed her some of his favorite spots in the woods where he went to escape and relax. She was mesmerized by the sights and beauty that surrounded her. They had been riding for a while when Chase drove into a clearing. The tree line surrounded it in a half circle and ended at a rock wall. The wall had a small waterfall flowing off of it, landing into a small pond. The pond was surprisingly crystal clear, and when she asked Chase about it, he told her it was that way because it was fed by a natural underground spring. The clearing floor was covered by thousands of wildflowers in all colors. The place was magical.

“Wow, Chase, I’m at a loss for words. This place is beautiful.”

Chase nodded his head and smiled. “I figured you would like this place. This is where I come to get away when I feel like the walls are closing in on me. You can’t help but to relax when you are here.”

Kerri wiped the tears from her eyes. She was honored that he would share his private, special place with her. Chase lifted her off of the four-wheeler and carried her over to a blanket covered with food that he had set up next to the pond. She hadn’t even noticed the blanket when she was busy admiring the view.

“You set all of this up for me?” she asked him.

“Yeah, like I said, I know what it is like to feel like the walls are closing in on you. I could tell by the look in your eyes that you were getting to that point and figured you could use a break. Only my family knows about this spot, and it’s still on our land, so I figured that it was secure enough to bring you. Don’t worry though, I have Gavin and Angel out there guarding us. They are good enough that even I don’t know where they are, but they’re out there, so you can relax and enjoy yourself.”

Kerri thought the mood was ruined just a little by the fact that they were out there watching, but she wasn’t complaining.

They ate the food and talked. She told Chase stories of her childhood, and he told her of his. They laughed and lounged on the blanket for what felt like hours. Chase was comfortable to be around, and Kerri loved it. She could be herself with him and not have to worry about if she said too much. He knew about her training and wasn’t intimidated by it. A few of the guys she dated hated the fact that, although she wasn’t necessarily stronger than them, she could still overpower them in a fight. Chase wasn’t one of those guys, and Kerri was grateful.

All too soon the sun began to set, and Kerri knew that it was time to go back. She didn’t want to go back to the real world and wished they could stay there forever. Chase carried her back to the four-wheeler and placed her in the seat, but didn’t take his arms from around her.

“I see the look on your face, little bit. Don’t worry. I will bring you back here again. When your leg is better, we can actually swim in the pond and just lay out all day doing nothing.”

Kerri opened her mouth to respond, but he didn’t give her time. He pressed his lips to hers and took advantage of her open mouth by invading it with his tongue. Kerri closed her lips and sucked on it, drawing a moan from him. They battled for control of the kiss, but Chase eventually won and deepened it. He traced every inch of her mouth and drew back when they both needed to breathe again. Kerri was panting for breath as she watched him with a wicked grin on his face.

He reached down to adjust himself and grimaced. “If we don’t stop now, Gavin and Angel are going to get a very erotic show.”

Kerri blushed. She had forgotten all about the guys in the woods watching them. She wasn’t sure if it was Chase or the place that caused her to forget. Looking over at Chase, she had to give him all the credit.

Chase grimaced again and climbed on. “It’s going to be a very uncomfortable ride back.”

Keri squirmed in the seat. Didn’t she know it. He may have had to ride with an erection, but she had to ride home with wet panties, and that was no fun either.

That little time that they spent in the clearing was one of the best days that Kerri had in a long time. She hoped that they would be able to go back soon and be able to enjoy themselves without any guards watching or threats hanging over them.

Chapter 6

Limping into the barn a few days later, Kerri took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the sudden darkness. She could hear murmurs and rhythmic thumping coming from the back and turned in that direction. When she rounded the corner, she could see Chase with his back to her, shoveling hay and manure out of one of the stalls. He had music playing in the background and was singing the words along with the song.
Damn he looks good
. His shirt that he had obviously removed at some point was hanging out of the waistband of his jeans, and sweat was glistening on his back and chest. The sweat should have turned her off, but if anything, it turned her on even more because it seemed to enhance all of his muscles. Kerri could feel her panties getting damp at the thought of running her tongue along his body and tracing every curve. Squeezing her legs tighter, she had to stop from reaching down to rub herself as she broke off a moan. It didn’t help that Chase hadn’t touched her since the day in the clearing. She could tell he wanted her by the way he got hard whenever she was around, but he never did anything about it.

Kerri wasn’t sure why but refused to worry about that right now. She had more important things to focus on. She had been here for two and a half weeks and was about to go out of her mind with boredom. Sure, she had Cane and Ali to keep her company, but it wasn’t the same. She wanted to be able to come and go as she pleased and not feel like a prisoner. If Chase even knew she was standing in the barn now without an escort, he would probably have a fit, but Kerri couldn’t take it anymore. I am a MacGregor damn it, she thought, giving herself a mental pep talk. MacGregors didn’t hide. They didn’t cower behind someone and let someone else handle the problem, and she wasn’t about to be the first one to start. She would make Chase listen to reason. He would see that her plan to draw out her kidnapper and end this nightmare would work. By the time she was done convincing him, he would be willing to help with the plan so his life could get back to normal as well.

Kerri took a deep breath and straightened her spine as she walked over and grabbed Chase’s shoulder. She couldn’t even begin to describe what happened next. When the room stopped spinning, she realized that she was on her back, staring up at the wooded beams of the barn ceiling. A huge hand was wrapped around her neck and she couldn’t breathe.

Feeling someone grab him from behind, Chase reacted with years of ingrained instinct. His family knew to make their presence known before they got to him and to never grab him from behind, so that left only one thought— enemy. Flipping the person over his shoulder and slamming them to the ground left the wrist twisted at an odd angle and gave him the opportunity to choke the life out of his enemy. Hazel eyes swimming with tears caused him to freeze. He knew those eyes. He had a seen those eyes for almost three weeks now, and they had kept him rock hard for most of that time.

“Oh God, Kerri! I could have killed you,” Chase said as he released her neck with one hand and her arm with the other.

He didn’t realize that he had lifted her off the ground and was hugging her until he felt the tremble go through her body. He could hear her gasping for breath and felt like shit, knowing that after everything that happened to her recently, he was the cause of more distress in her life. He knew that she resented being taken away from her dad and placed out here in the middle of nowhere. But never in his life did he mean to cause her harm or pain. He had caused enough of that and would die happy if he never had to do it again. Anger quickly replaced the guilt when he realized what she almost caused him to do. Grabbing her by the shoulders, he pushed her away so that he could see her face.

“What were you thinking,” he roared, trying not to let her tears affect him. “Are you crazy, Kerri? You never sneak up behind someone like that again. I could have killed you.”
I could have killed you. I could have killed you
. He couldn’t get the thought out of his head. Chase was supposed to be protecting her from danger. Instead, he was the one threatening her with his own bare hands.

Suddenly, Chase couldn’t resist her. He needed to make sure she was okay. He needed to know that she was safe even if it was from him. He couldn’t let her go, and he could no more stop what he was about to do than he could stop time. He tried to give her time to heal, but that time was suddenly up. Letting go of her shoulders, he grabbed both sides of her face and slammed his lips down on hers. The kiss was brutal and dominant, and he didn’t care. He nipped her bottom lip until she opened and let him plunge his tongue into her mouth. Once inside he didn’t let up his assault, he traced every inch of her mouth with his tongue, marking her as his. Only when he heard her moan and felt her arms gripping the back of his neck did Chase ease up on the kiss. He pulled back, licking her lips, and felt her respond as her tongue followed his into his mouth. She tentatively traced his tongue with hers, causing him to release his own moan of pleasure. He couldn’t hold himself back any longer. Snatching the button open on her jeans, he shoved them down her hips along with her panties and ran his fingers along her folds.

“Oh, fuck. You are so wet already, Kerri. I don’t think I can hold back.”

“Don’t.” It was the only sound he heard as all his senses seemed to migrate toward his cock as it swelled even harder. He managed to get his jeans open and somehow get Kerri’s jeans and shoes off as he wrapped her legs around his waist.

“It’s going to be fast,” he murmured as he leaned her back against the barn wall and slammed into her. He stilled as her wet heat gripped him like a glove. Her pussy was so tight and wet that he knew he would never last long. I am going to have to make it up to her another time, he thought as he began to move. Chase eased out until only the head of his cock was left, and surged back in. He did it several times as he listened to Kerri’s very vocal moans and felt her nails clawing his back, sending tingles down his spine. He knew he was close to coming and wanted Kerri to go over the edge with him. Reaching down, he used two fingers to circle and slightly pinch her swollen clit until he felt the tremors in her pussy start to massage his cock.

“Come for me, Kerri.” He panted. “I’m not going to last much longer.” With that, he began to surge into her faster and harder and heard her yell out as her body convulsed around him. Her orgasm was strong, causing her to squeeze him tight. That set off a chain reaction, starting at his spine and traveling down to his balls, causing them to swell as his orgasm hit. Chase gritted his teeth to keep from yelling as he emptied himself deep inside Kerri. Panting, he rested his forehead against hers as he took in deep breaths of air. He felt like all his energy went out the tip of his cock when he came inside her. He’d never had an orgasm as strong as that, and he definitely wanted to do it again. Judging by the way Kerri hung limply in his arms, Chase could tell he wasn’t the only one affected.

Chase continued using the barn wall for support until he was sure that his legs could hold them both up then he carried Kerri over to an empty stall and laid her down on the fresh hay. His semihard cock, still inside her, immediately perked back up when Kerri moaned, and he felt her clench tight around him. Chase tucked his arms under her shoulders and rested on his elbows so that he wouldn’t put his full weight on Kerri. Making sure that her legs were locked behind his back, he slowly withdrew from her pussy, feeling a mixture of his cum and her moisture flow from her. This turned Chase on more than he could have ever imagined. Unfortunately, it also caused all thoughts of making slow, tender love to Kerri fly right out of his head. He slammed back into her as he lowered his head and took one of her hard nipples between his teeth. He gently tugged on the tight bud as he set a fast pace of pumping in and out of Kerri. He made sure that he ground his pelvis against her clit on each thrust. Judging by the loud cries that he was hearing, Kerri was enjoying the pace he set just as much as he was. The fluttering in Kerri’s pussy signaled her coming orgasm. Chase surged into her one last time and ground his hips against her. He clamped his mouth down over hers and swallowed her screams as they came together.

* * * *

Wow!
Kerri’s mind seemed to have turned into mush because that was all she could come up with. When she set out for the barn to talk some sense into Chase, she never thought she would end up being nearly choked to death then punished for it by being fucked senseless. If that was his idea of teaching her a lesson, then she would have to be bad more often. Her leg protested the excitement, but the pain was well worth the pleasure she received and hoped to have again real soon. Kerri giggled when she looked over at Chase. He had dropped next to her with his jeans still around his ankles. Sweat covered his skin and his cock, which seemed to always be hard, rested against his thigh. Even in this state he was the sexiest man she had ever seen.
