Hidden Away (5 page)

I held onto his hand and led him straight to the bedroom I felt him tense beside me and his
breathing became shallow, not for one moment did he expect me to bring him straight in here. I
turned around to face him eyes on his, reached behind and unfastened my dress letting it pool
down at my feet, Morgan's eyes turned black as unconsciously he licked his lips, I slipped out of my
bra enjoying the pure look of pleasure on his face, then I crawled onto the bed and lay down my
intention fully clear. I watched him hardly blinking as he unbuttoned his shirt allowing me to get a
full view of his perfectly sculpted body he dropped it on the floor and crawled on all fours up the
bed eyes raking over every inch of me but not one touch. Only when his nose was level with mine
did he speak
“Are you sure this is what you want Elisa?” hearing him say my name had my heart racing in my
chest, I reached out to my bedside cabinet and slid open the draw so he could see I was serious
(I
had bought condoms so there were no awkward moments
) his eyes lit up and his mouth covered
mine with a sigh. For the rest of the night my body was worshipped and caressed every inch tasted
every moan matched with his growls, my one cry of pain instantly transformed into a cry of ecstasy
as Morgan claimed me as his own, I could imagine no pleasure or experience would ever match
tonight, it was everything and more all wrapped up in an intense emotion neither of us had
expected.
We slept until lunch the next day limbs entwined hearts beating in unison, I awoke first to a
beautiful sight of a naked Morgan sprawled out alongside me, I shuffled around so I could have a
better look at him in the daylight. He really was model perfect olive skin abs to die for a smattering
of fine hair on his chest and as I glanced down lower I noticed his impressive penis was already
hard tempting me to take a closer look, I slid down the bed and tentatively stroked him a groan
escaped his lips, I glanced up but his eyes were still closed so I carried on my inspection. I reached
forward and out of curiosity I licked the tip of him surprised by the softness of his skin, He really
was enormous I was quite shocked he had fit inside of me I gripped him with my hand his hardness
taking me by surprise, I paused when I was suddenly aware I was being watched, I peered up at
him from beneath my eyelashes knowing I was deliberately flirting
“And what do you think you are up to Miss Marcelli? “ I smiled innocently back at him
“Good morning Mr Drake” he grinned
“it would be a good morning every day if I was woken up like this” he grabbed me by the
shoulders and dragged me up the bed covering my body with his own legs forcing mine apart he
pressed his erection at the junction of my thighs
“Is this what you want Elisa? Are you not too sore “He teased reached over to snag a condom as I
nodded enthusiastically?
“We will need extra supplies if we continue this way!” I grabbed his face and pulled it to mine he
flipped me over so I was sat astride him
“ we will try it this way I want to see your amazing breasts and I want to watch you while you come
for me” his words made me writhe on him desperate to feel him inside me again I grabbed the
condom and put it on like he showed me last night he held his hand up so I could use him to lift
myself and once I was in position he let go and reached for my breasts rubbing and stroking
making me arch my back, this position allowed me full control I liked it so with my hands on his
chest I lowered myself slowly wincing as he filled me up last night’s activities had taken their toll
Morgan clasped my hips
“baby if you are too sore stop now” I shook my head as I sank lower on to him loving the sound of
his moan when I had taken all he could give. He opened his eyes and his gaze met mine he used his
hands to lift me and then lower me down frustratingly slowly, my head fell back as the sensations
overwhelmed me I wanted more and so I took over the rhythm leaning back and putting my hands
on his thighs I started to move faster on him, his pubic bone was rubbing my clitoris whilst I
slammed myself on to him, I went faster and faster until I felt a warmth building in side of me my
insides began to tremble
“Look at me Elisa now!” I gasped and looked into his eyes
“come for baby” I shouted out his name as an orgasm exploded and tremors ran all over my body
then Morgan thrust upwards hard into me crying out as he reached his own, I shuddered and
collapsed on top of him gasping for breath. Morgan stroked my hair his heart thumping in his chest
“ Christ Elisa that was incredible thank you angel “ I lifted over him and he slid out of me our lips
met and we kissed tenderly he pushed me back
“Elisa you are now mine totally mine body mind and soul this was not just one night this is now
forever” his words hit me hard and I held on to him hard “I want to be with you forever but you
know that is something I have no control over Morgan I never know when the bad guys will find
me I can't make you any promises I am so sorry” I buried my face into his chest unable to look at
him
“ Elisa don't hide your face and don't ever apologise for who you are, the bad guys will never get
you not so long as there is a breath in my body” and that was my real fear spoken out loud, his
body without breath all because he loved me and I could have stopped it happening.
The vibration of my phone woke us up an hour later, I reached across and saw it was agent Tanner
“Tanner any news?” I cleared my groggy throat Morgan slipped out of bed to give me privacy “Miss
White just to update you we have released your uncle as of yesterday, we are hoping this will
trigger a response from the killers, we have already arrested a suspect for the arson on your home”
my heart raced hope soaring
“unfortunately he is a hired thug and there is no paper trail to the person or persons who hired
him as you would expect, but we have charged him with arson obviously still covering up your
survival, I am sorry we have nothing more positive but we are hoping this latest development will
bring us something we can act on, until then we are leaving the two security staff with you and we
will keep you informed. Your Uncle will not be able to contact you as he will be watched closely so
don't be alarmed and don't try to make contact yourself as you may put him and yourself at risk” I
shook my head
“No I won't, can you assure me my aunt and cousin is still safe?”
“yes Miss Marcelli they are secure” after I hung up Morgan was walking back in the bedroom with
drinks, he was wearing just sweats that hung low on his hips, his hair was all tousled and he look
good enough to eat, I sat up gingerly and repeated the conversation to him he was pleased that
someone was finally in custody for my brothers murder but frustrated they were no further on
than that, I was feeling much the same
“a killer is arrested but the person responsible for giving the order is untouchable, it's so unfair”
we sat drinking when Morgan's phone wen
t “Drake here, yes why? Right well not until tonight, yes fine get me on this evenings flight I will
deal with it when I get there, no problem Jean see you tonight” he didn't look impressed
“babe I have to fly to Berlin tonight the hotel has a problem I need to sort myself I should only be
needed two days tops, do you want to come with me” I saw the intensity on his face and knew the
idea of us being apart was not a good one for either of us but I was used to being alone and he
needed to carry on with his empire without distractions
“no Morgan I'm not coming with you, I don't want to be a tag along girlfriend, I only started my job
last week and I don't want to cause problems taking days off and creating gossip either “ I took
hold of his hand to reassure him as he looked like he wanted to argue
“I have existed for four years alone and on the run, I have never been safer now I have my
bodyguards so don't worry about me please” he squeezed my hand
“actually it is more the idea of being apart and not holding you for so long that is bothering me,
now I have you I can't bear the thought of going through a day with you not in it” I leant forward
and kissed him
“We have forever remember” he kissed me back and I managed to make him feel a whole lot
better.
Morgan left at four I went for a run with my dutiful tracker not far behind then I settled in for a lazy
night a long soak in the bath to soothe my sex battered body! And then slept for twelve hours solid.
Tony and I had a lot to catch up on the next morning so I called for him early to have a quick coffee
with him and Rory
“Girl you are radiant it must have been some weekend!” I beamed at them but felt the colour
rushing to my face
“It was wonderful thanks” they ribbed me for a while then we arranged to share a pizza after work
Tony's way of minding me while the boss was away. The day dragged as I was in charge of tending
to a spoilt rich girls every demand, she was a model and insisted on all white bedding, coconut
milk for her fridge, aloe Vera baths salts, a masseur and an astrologer to do her charts. It was
certainly a challenge first not to slap her and second to find an astrologer who did house calls! I
was telling Tony on the way back that evening, he knew who I was talking about because she had
apparently put on quite a performance when a Ford Mondeo collected her this morning and she
had expected a Bentley! We called at the store for provisions and I picked up some bits for myself
as Morgan and I had emptied my cupboards this weekend, Tony helped me up to my flat with the
bags and I handed him the key to let us in. As he turned the key in the lock and started to push the
door I felt a surge of heat and then a massive force burst outwards I felt myself being lifted off my
feet and thrown into the wall then a huge weight landed on top of me crushing me and making it
hard to breathe, after that it was chaos my ears were ringing, I couldn't hear anything that was
going on there were feet all around me and then the weight was lifted and my breathing became
easier I had a searing pain in my side I tried to speak but nothing would come out the two FBI
agents were furiously pacing around me, one of them spoke to me but his face shrank in my vision
then the darkness swallowed me up.
My eyelids were pulled open and a bright light startled me,
“Jenna you are in hospital do you remember what happened to you?” I tried to think and then the
memory of the explosion shot into my thoughts
“Tony is Tony all right” I tried to sit up but sharp pains in my side took my breath away
“don't try and move Jenna you have a broken rib and a nasty knock on the head so you must stay
still, Mr Lawrence is fine he is a big man and took the impact of the blast without much damage a
broken leg and arm is a lucky escape he sheltered you from the blast too unfortunately he did
break your rib when he landed on top of you” I remembered feeling crushed, blimey that was Tony
no wonder my ribs hurt but I was so happy he wasn't badly hurt. A few minutes later I could hear
shouting in the corridor “what the hell happened how the fuck did someone get that close to her
without you pair of ducks noticing if she is hurt I will have your heads!” Morgan was here my heart
raced and as he marched in the room I burst into tears thrilled to see him and so happy he was
back. Morgan was staring at me looking me over head to toe then he started barking orders to the
poor nurse
“What is her condition? How long is she to be kept here?” she barked right back at him
“Mr Drake we have done a thorough check she has suffered a broken rib and has a head injury
which has been stitched we want her here for the night to make sure there is no concussion, but I
must insist on a stress free environment! all being well she can be discharged tomorrow, will that
be all?” she was obviously a bit affronted at his brusque manner, he looked back at the nurse
“thank you I'm sorry to take it out on you there was no call for that, it was a very long flight to get
here” she nodded then left the room, he sat on the chair next to my bed took my hand and kissed
me gently his eyes glistening with emotion I could see the fear in them
“angel I am so sorry I wasn't here, I can't believe they have found out who you are, heads will roll
for this that bastard Tanner must have a leak, you will be staying in my suite at the hotel and
security is going to be doubled until this is all over, Tanner is on his way to explain himself but we
are putting together a cover story of a gas explosion caused by faulty boiler just so your identity
stays out of the media, in case there are more nutters out there than we know about” I struggled
to take it all in my head was throbbing
“I am so glad you are here, will you check on Tony? If he hadn't been there it would have been far
worse” he closed his eyes in pain
“Angel you would have been dead! I will make sure he will be compensated don't worry Tony will
want for nothing after today” I smiled but the pain in my head was causing me to lose focus my
ears started buzzing and my mouth wouldn't work,
“Jenna? Morgan was up in a flash fetching the nurse back as he knew something was wrong I was
unconscious she entered the room.

It was some time later before I opened my eyes again I was in a different room and it took me a
moment to realise I must have been out of it for a while, my throat burned I was so thirsty my
tongue felt like sandpaper, I had a tube sticking out of my hand and wires connecting me to
machines, I panicked for a moment then I saw my gorgeous man sitting beside me holding my
hand his eyes closed, he was unshaven and dishevelled but still made my heart flutter. He moaned
and I squeezed his hand instantly his eyes shot open
“Your awake thank God hang on I will buzz the nurse” he pressed a button on the wall behind then
stroked my face
“baby you have scared the shit out of me I thought I had lost you for the second time in a few
hours and I tell you it has not been fun” I smiled weakly at him
“What happened?” the words croaked out and made me cough he passed me some water
“Drink this baby you will feel better” he helped me take a small sip at a time until I felt my tongue
resurrect itself
” Morgan what happened how long have I been asleep?” he sat back down not letting go of my
hand
“you blacked out and then were rushed to surgery you had a bleed on the brain but they managed
to deal with it, you will be fine in a day or two and then I can take you with me and take care of you
properly” I smiled then the nurse walked in
“Miss White welcome back, I will just check your vitals then I can remove some of these wires to
make you more comfortable, you have drank some water great, that means we can take you off
the drip later” she smiled as she did all her checks and filled out my chart
“The doctor will come by later and check you again if you want anything just buzz, but I think you
have all you need” she looked over at Morgan then back to me and smiled knowingly
“Thank you nurse” I said then turned to Morgan
“Now tell me what I have missed?” Morgan looked frustrated
“Tanner is here now we have two men outside your door and they will stay with you permanently
at the hotel, discreetly of course, they had a lead on the person who set the bomb but
unfortunately he was killed by a hit and run before he could be questioned” my mind connected
the pieces on that one he was obviously a loose end that needed to be tied up, that meant they
were still around, I shuddered involuntarily
“Elisa don't start worrying it’s all taken care of Tanner is connecting the dots and has a good idea
who is the organ grinder you won't be hiding much longer I promise” I relaxed a little then the
door bashed open startling us both Rory was backing in to the room pulling a wheel chair bound
Tony
“Careful watch my foot on the door”
“Honey my foot just got rolled on by your wheel I'm going to be in one of these myself soon” we
watched them amused
“Christ Rory you need L plates on this” we smiled at each other as we watched them struggle
through the door when he saw I was awake Tony beamed at me
“baby cakes I am so happy to see you” Tony looked hilarious a seven foot man stuffed in a wheel
chair one leg propped up and one arm in a cast his face he looked battered and bruised but he
was a sight for sore eyes
“Hey Tony “my eyes pricked remembering I was the cause of his injuries
“don't start blubbering Missy none of this is your doing, I don't want you to be feeling guilty just
imagine what you would look like if you had stood where I did” that was half my problem I did
know what I would look like a corpse probably we chatted openly and caught up on all the gossip,
I had been inundated with well wishes flowers from Mrs Flint and Kate had been in whilst I was out
of it, it was nice to feel like I had a group of people that cared about me. They left after an hour as
my eyes were closing of their own accord; Morgan kissed me on the forehead and ensured I was
asleep before he went back to the hotel for a shower and change of clothes. When I was next
awake I felt a hundred times better and I was brought in a fresh bowl of soup and bread it was
devoured immediately. Morgan arrived as I finished eating stunning as usual in jeans and t shirt, he
bent over and kissed me on the lips
“nice to see colour in your cheeks that food has done you good, are you still hungry because I
brought you in some homemade muffins from Mrs Flint” he opened a box and there were four
dark chocolate ones inside,
“mm just one and see how I do” two muffins later and an amused Morgan was trying to flick
crumbs off me when the doctor arrived, all my vitals were back to normal so she took the drip off
my arm which felt wonderful I hated having a needle embedded in me it had been irritating me all
day. I was given the all clear to leave the next morning so Morgan made a few phone calls, I also
arranged to have a contraceptive shot while I was there as a surprise for Morgan condoms were
really awkward so in seven days we could be more spontaneous I felt myself clenching at the
thought. Everyone at the hotel now knew we were an item so moving into his suite wouldn't be
difficult to explain but having FBI agents tailing me and round the clock security on the hotel would
be harder, we would have to play it by ear or hope no one notices. With two men posted on my
hospital room door I should be safe for the night yet Morgan insisted on staying he hunched down
on the arm chair but looked so awkward I shuffled over and demanded he lay next to me just for a
few hours so he got some decent rest, the nurse was not happy because of my ribs so she wheeled
him in his own bed and he pushed it next to mine and we slept peacefully hands entwined until
the sun rose the next morning.
By the time I had been settled in at the hotels penthouse I was exhausted, Mrs Flint had practically
smothered me when she saw me in fact I was very touched by her kindness, I was dressed in
sweats and a hoody but was so desperate for a shower I would have walked in fully dressed but
Morgan insisted on a bath as my head wound shouldn't be in water yet. I stood in front of the
mirror in the huge bathroom the cut was obscured amongst my now wild again hair so I couldn't
see how bad it was, I removed my hoody and lifted up the t shirt underneath, my rib area was
black and blue, it looked like I had done ten rounds with Mike Tyson I was lowering my top back
down when Morgan walked in to check on the bath
“Right you clothes off in you get” I stayed where I was it had been a week since our love making
and I was suddenly feeling shy again and he could tell,
“ baby right now all I am concerned with is getting you settled into bed resting as fast as possible”
he walked up to me and helped me slide out of the sweats when he lifted off my top his breath
hissed I jumped back shocked by the expression on his face so I stepped away from his reach,
immediately he grabbed my arms and pulled me back to him, looked me in the eye to reassure me
and lifted the top over my head, then he turned me around and we faced the mirror together him
standing behind me. He unfastened my bra and slid it gently off I saw his eyes darken and felt him
harden behind me; he turned me back around and knelt before me very gently stroking his hands
over my bruises, when he looked up at me there was sorrow in his eyes
“ I hate you are hurt Elisa it is as if the wound was inflicted on me too, I can't bear it” he kissed my
side and my heart beat sped up a little and I felt light headed he stood up and tenderly lifted me
up into his arms, carried and lowered me into the water I moaned as the warmth spread up my
body until my breasts were submerged, Morgan rubbed the soapy water all over my shoulders
then squeezed some of the water over my hair avoiding the cut I closed my eyes and relished the
feeling of being cleaned and washed by someone it was such an act of tenderness, a new feeling
and I really wanted it to last, part of me knew it would only be a matter of time before they tried to
finish me off again and I trembled at the thought of the danger I was in but for now I would enjoy
the moment because with Morgan I felt safe and cherished and I wasn't prepared to give that up
without one hell of a fight.
I was soon tucked up in bran new silk pyjamas that Kate had bought for me, Morgan had asked her
to pick me a few things up and rescue anything she could from the flat, I was sad all my new
clothes had been destroyed in the fire although she did salvage a few items in the drawers
including all my lingerie and cosmetics so that was a consolation. Morgan walked in with a glass of
fizzy cranberry juice and a beer for him plus a large chicken pizza to share; I was starving and ate
more than my quota he was grinning at me
“Babe its lovely to see you eating properly we need to get some meat on those bones of yours” I
slapped him
“Cheeky, I have no shortage of flesh thank you!” he gave my breasts a lustful glance
“ well you are right on two counts any ways” I slapped him again and he laughed it felt so natural
being together, neither of us had to try we just bounced off each other as if we had known one
another for years rather than weeks. Once I was fed he lay next to me while we talked I didn't
know much about him so we agreed to have a 10 question each session, my turn first;
“1; how old are you? “
(I can't believe I don't know the answer to that having already slept with
him
) “28 “mm
younger than I thought
“2; where were you born?” he smiled
“London this was my father’s first hotel I was born in this very penthouse”
aah that is why he loves
this place so much then
“3; how many brothers and sisters do you have?”
I remembered he had mentioned a sister
“ I have just one younger sister Olivia she is 21 she lives in Spain with our parents, she is a spoilt
madam but a fantastic artist and actually makes a living at it” his eyes lit up when he talked about
Olivia, he was obviously close to her
“4; where did you go to school?”
“Easy Oxford I studied law and economics”
eek a brain box that was scary
”5; have you ever been in a long term relationship?” this was an awkward one I wasn't sure I
actually wanted to hear the answer
“No my longest relationship was three months when I was at Oxford I have just had brief
encounters since” the breath I had been holding was released but his answer led me to another
question
“6; how come you haven't?” he looked at me thinking
“I don't know my parents had hoped I would marry their friends daughter Rose but we were more
like brother and sister and it just never happened, until I met you I have only been interested in
hotels!” my mind was whirling
“7; where is this girl now?” he raised his eyebrows
“You aren't jealous are you? Rose is the manager of our hotel in Barcelona we speak regularly but
like I said we are like family and she has a boyfriend now, there is nothing to worry about there” he
kissed my hand as reassurance
“8; favourite movie?” get back to basics I think
“That’s easy The Bourne series” I grinned such a bloke answer but I liked them too
“9; do you read at all “he looked puzzled by that one
“Yes I have a kindle and I read a lot favourite author is probably John Grisham or James Patterson”
God so macho yet again mind you I had read all of them myself
“10, why me?” I looked down blushing waiting to see how he answered; he tilted my face to look
at him
“ you are stunning, brave, clever, resourceful, passionate, stubborn, honest and by the way you
have by far the best tits I have ever seen.” he grinned at me and I couldn't resist throwing myself
on him for a kiss forgetting all about my rib and crying out in pain
“Christ Elisa be careful I should add reckless to that list.” he rolled over to me instead and his lips
met mine tenderly and we kissed our tongues stroking and dancing together I moaned when he
pulled away we had been talking so long it was getting dark.
“My turn now I know it is hard for you to revisit some subjects so I will keep mine simple, 1;
favourite movie?” I smiled gratefully easy I could do
“The Twilight saga” he looked horrified
“Such a girl’s movie babe” I nodded not denying it
“Edward Cullen does it for me too” he frowned
“Competition with a vampire great! Ok 2; favourite book “ I had read so many it was hard to
choose, he looked at me
“If you say Twilight I will be disappointed” I smiled
“I do love those books but my heart is with Little Women it was always my favourite since I was
very young my mother used to read it to me” I swallowed at the memory Morgan stroked my face
“3; best song” that was easy too
“Daniel Bedingfield if You’re Not The One” he looked nonplussed
“Sing a bit for me” so I sang the chorus
“Bit more I still don't know it” After another verse and chorus I realised he was having me on so I
slapped him again
“baby your voice is stunning I want to hear you sing all the time right 4 what subject were you best
at in school?” I thought back to the variety of tutors that had taught me various subjects over the
years
“I didn't go to school I had tutors my brother and I were home schooled but I enjoyed martial arts
and weapons training the most” he sat up and banged his head on the head board
“Weapons training?” I nodded
“Yep you better watch yourself around me or I will take you out” he shook his head a bit impressed
I think “no seriously academic subject?” I liked teasing him
“Geography I guess that’s the one I got top grades for” he was suitably impressed
“That’s a useful knowledge in the hotel trade.5; what car would you like to drive?” he really was a
blokes bloke!
“Aston Martin Vanquish or an Audi R8” he was happy with that but I was starting to yawn and my
eyes felt heavy
“6; hot holiday or sightseeing adventure?”
“Hot” I was gone pain killers, warmth and darkness a fatal combination for a head injury, I was
vaguely aware of him stripping off and climbing in behind me he wrapped an arm around me and
nuzzled into my neck
“you owe me three in the morning” I mumbled a response then drifted off in his embrace, it was a
lovely way to sleep.
