Prince Charming (Behind the Screen, #1) (9 page)

‘And then what happens?’

‘They turn out not to be the women I thought they were.’

Her body stiffened.

‘I’m not saying you’re like that. It has just been my experience. I’m trying to pace myself, not get ahead of myself.’

‘That’s understandable. For now, let’s live in the moment.’ She pulled him back to her lips.

‘I like the sound of that.’ He grasped her soft breasts beneath the shirt.

She let out a whimper. He lowered her onto the couch and grasped tighter to her breasts. His hand ran over her hot body. Their clothes couldn’t come off fast enough. They rolled about on the living-room carpet, stealing kisses, taking from each other. Their heated bodies couldn’t get enough. She wanted him so much, and so did he. It was as if they’d waited all their lives just to find each other.

‘I love doing this to you,’ he whispered against her ear.

She giggled. He ventured down her body, kissed every inch of her skin. He moved up again and met her lips. She stopped him a moment, guided him to lie on his back.

‘What happens now?’ he asked.

‘Now, you lie back and enjoy the ride.’

‘WOW!’ He laughed.

Harmony kissed his muscle toned body. His chest, the six pack.

‘Yummy,’ she groaned.

‘You like?’ he asked.

‘Very much. I love it!’ She moved further down until she reached his hard member.

She took it into her hand and grasped the base tightly. He moaned lightly. Her tongue touched the tip, teased it like a lollipop, ran up and down it as if licking an ice-cream.

‘Shit!’ he breathed.

With her hand still on the base, Harmony took his length into her mouth. At first she took him in halfway. She smiled, teased it a little with her teeth.

‘Fuck!’ he breathed.

She came up, tickled the tip with her tongue, took it in again, but this time took all of it in. His toes curled as he felt the back of her throat. She moved up for air, and then repeated the movement, but this time added a hum, so he could feel the vibration.

‘Dam it!’

She had to stop or else he’d come! He was over her like an animal.

‘You’re so dam hot right now!’ he said.

She laughed. She loved seeing him weak for her, not able to contain himself. They kissed, his hands handled her body, he pulled her towards him and planted himself into her. Tiny beads of excitement fizzled through both of them. The world was theirs, they were far away from everything. Their minds and bodies joined. Quick, fast, hard! Over and over again! Her nails dug into his back, her legs wrapped around his waist! He pumped harder and harder until he couldn’t hold back! Neither could she! Within minutes they reached their ultimate height!

He dropped into her neck. ‘You are something else!’

‘And so are you.’ She gazed up at the ceiling breathing heavily. ‘So are you.’

‘I like this. I like us,’ he said as he rolled over.

‘Me too. I like us too.’

‘Do you see us going further?’

‘Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?’

‘I might be.’

She laughed.

‘So? Do you?’

‘Yes, yes I do.’

‘Good.’ He kissed her hard against the lips. ‘That means I have a girlfriend.’

‘Yes you do.’ She giggled. ‘And I have a boyfriend.’

‘W
hat the fuck did you do!?’ She stormed into the basement the next morning.

Harmony was due at the hospital a little later, and Derek had left early that morning. Marcus looked up at her exhausted. Life down there had taken its toil on him.

‘What do you want? It’s either you kill me or let me go.’

‘Oh, you want to play games! I’m not fucking playing with you!’ she screamed. ‘You’ve done something very bad, haven’t you?’

‘And you haven’t?’ He chuckled. ‘You and I are alike. We’re both going to hell.’

She slapped him across the face.

‘Is that all you’ve got.’ He sniggered.

She stepped back, picked up a bigger pair of pliers and pulled on his index finger. ‘You feel like fucking with me today? Well then, I’ll fuck with you!’ She snipped off the finger.

‘FUCK, GOD DAMIT! FUCK!’

‘I’m not fucking around, Marcus. What did you do?’

‘You’re sick!’

‘What did you do?’

‘Fuck you!’

She walked back, pulled on some gloves and stitched the finger back.

‘Stop, please stop, I can’t take this anymore!’

‘What did you do?’ She kept at it.’

‘What’s wrong with you?’

‘If you tell me what you did, I’ll give you something for the pain.’

He was quiet a moment. ‘What do you care?’

‘I don’t, but you should.’ The surgical needle went in and out of the skin. ‘Last chance. What did you do?’

‘I captured two women. There in my house. Probably starving. They could die, dehydrate.’

‘You fucking pervert!’

‘You’re no different!’

‘You deserve to die! You deserve all the pain I’m giving you!’

‘You would’ve been one of those whores too!’ He spat. ‘You deserve to die too!’

It hit her so hard. He had no fucking idea! How could he not understand? How did he not know?

‘Pain relief.’ He muttered.

‘I’ve changed my mind!’ She kept sewing his finger.

‘You can’t do that!’

‘I can do whatever the fuck I want! And while I’m at it, you might want to search that brain of yours. Oliver must be in there somewhere.’

‘Fuck you!’

She tugged on his finger.

‘SHIT!’

‘You stink!’ she said.

‘Whose fault is that? You put me in diapers.’

She didn’t answer. Instead she finished the job with his finger.

‘There good as new.’ She stood up.

A few minutes later she returned with a bucket of water and soap and cleaned him.

‘You’re disgusting,’ she said.

‘It’s your fault.’

‘But it doesn’t bother me. I’ve seen worse.’

He was clean and fed, but she gave nothing for the pain. It wouldn’t kill him and she kept an eye out for infection. He was in professional hands.

‘I have to get ready for work. You think about what I’ve asked you.’

‘Or else what? We both know I’m not getting out of here. If I do, you’ll face jail time.’

She laughed. In that moment she had the urge to end his life, but instead, she left him with his thoughts.

‘Hey,’ she said.

‘Something wrong?’ asked Misty.

‘You need to call this in.’

‘You mean notify the police he’s missing.’

‘Yes.’

‘Has he – ’

‘Nothing. It’s something else. He has two women hostage in his home. They could die with no food or water.’

‘Dam it! That bastard!’

‘I know. We both know it.’

‘Yes. What about you? It could lead to you.’

‘Don’t worry about me. I’ll deal with it.’

‘Okay, if you’re sure.’

‘I am. Those women need to be rescued as soon as possible.’

‘Okay. I’m on it.’

‘Thanks Misty.’

‘Be careful.’

‘I will be.’ She hung up and got ready for work.

D
erek and Yasmina pulled up at the luxurious house. And so did two other police cars.

‘Why are we here again?’ he asked.

The chief asked us to check it out. Some fancy pants guy has gone missing.’

‘So he’s become a priority?’ he asked. ‘What about the women?’

‘We haven’t stopped that, we’re just trying to find out what’s happened.’

‘What’s his name again?’

‘Boy you’re not on the ball today.’

He laughed. Harmony was on his mind.

‘I am. I just don’t understand why other detectives couldn’t take this.’

‘Everyone deserves equal treatment whether they’re some fancy pants gallery owner or a homeless man.’

‘You’re right.’

‘He’s name is Marcus Rees.’

‘I see.’

They stepped out of the car.

‘Do we have a right to enter his home?’

‘The man is missing.’ She nodded at the officers who had come along to break down the door.

It clicked opened. The alarm went off.

‘You take the ground floor, I’ll go upstairs,’ said Derek.

‘Okay.’

Yasmina searched the living-room in search for any clues why Marcus had gone missing. Derek climbed the staircase, Harmony still on his mind. He couldn’t help himself. The night they’d had together was unforgettable. He tried one of the room doors. It was locked.

‘Break it down,’ he told the officer who had followed him.

It took a while, but finally the door opened.

‘Oh my god! Call an ambulance!’ He rushed over to Rose who lay weak with dry lips. ‘Hey,’ he shook her gently. ‘It’s okay. Everything will be okay.’

‘Derek!’ Yasmina ran into the room. ‘Oh god!’

‘I know.’

‘Is that?’

‘Rose, it looks like Rose,’ said Derek.

‘Oh god, we found her...do you think...’ she left the room and tried the others. ‘Open this door,’ she told an officer.

The door was broken down. She ran towards Zara, who was half asleep.

‘Can you tell me your name?’ asked Yasmina.

‘Zara.’

‘You’re safe now. An ambulance is on the way.’

The sirens were heard in the distance. Everything happened fast. The detectives couldn’t believe their luck.

‘To think a missing man would lead us to this.’

‘Yes. This house will be swept, it’s under investigation now,’ said Derek.

‘I can only imagine what we’ll find.’

‘Do I want to know? And what the hell happened to him?’

‘God only knows. We still need to find him.’

‘Yes we do. I’ll ride with the women. See if I can get any answers. Meet you back at the station,’ said Derek.

‘Sure thing.’

He hopped into the back of the ambulance.

T
he A&E was busy as usual. Harmony tried to resuscitate a patient.

‘Don’t die me now!’ She worked as did the other medical staff. ‘Come on, come on.’ The defibrillator was placed on his chest again. ‘Clear!’ she shouted and the staff members stepped back. The electric current shot through his body to start his heart.

Again they worked on him, and again she shouted, ‘Clear!’ so the medical staff could step away! But nothing helped. The man was gone!

‘God dam it!’ She threw the equipment. ‘Not today! I can’t, not today!’

Everyone was silent, it was just one of those things they had to deal with, but it never became easier.

‘Time of death, 1:10 p.m.,’ said Harmony.

Just as she walked away, two women were wheeled in.

‘What have we got?’ Harmony ran towards them.

‘Two women, suffering from dehydration and signs of slight starvation...’

She leaned forward, listened to Rose’s heartbeat, and shone a light into her eyes. Just as she was about to give instruction to an intern, she caught him in the corner of her eye.

‘Derek?’ The shock hit her!

‘Harmony? What...’

‘I can explain, please, just give me a moment.’ She had to attend to her patients.

Once they had been stabilised, she stepped out to where he was.

‘Derek,’ she said.

He lifted his hand a moment.

‘I’m...’

‘Don’t speak.’ He didn’t turn to look at her. ‘How are they?’ he asked.

‘Stable. They’ll both be fine...’ She stepped forward. ‘Derek, let me explain.’

He looked at her, the pain in his eyes evident. ‘There is nothing to explain. You lied to me, that’s all there is to it.’ He started to walk away.

‘Derek please! Give me a chance to explain.’

‘What possible explanation could there be?’ He was furious. ‘You lied. I can’t stand lies.’

‘I’m sorry. Please...’

‘Doctor Moore you’re needed in the O.R.!’

‘Derek?’

‘You’ve got a job to do, and so do I.’

‘Please at least look at me.’ She begged.

‘Doctor Moore!’

‘Derek!’

It was no use, he just couldn’t look at her in that moment. She turned and ran towards the operating room. Only then did he look her way, but just for a moment. Harmony wiped the tears from her eyes. If only he’d given her a chance to explain. She hadn’t realised that she would fall for him. It wasn’t even supposed to happen. All she’d wanted was capture Marcus, Derek wasn’t supposed to come along. But he had, and now she was stuck. Her heart had been taken and it made what she wanted to do, a lot harder!
