The Stand Off (34 page)

“There’s no way he’s getting out
of that knot,” Lux said as she glared at Michael.

“Not a chance,” Pixie agreed as
she came to stand beside her sister. All three of them glared at Michael as
they stood over him.

“All of this was for naught; you
wasted so much time crafting the plan to destroy me, and it backfired in your
face.” Dean stated flatly.

“How does it feel, loser? I knew
I should have stuck those firecrackers up your ass the night we found out you
lied,” Pixie taunted him.

Dean put his arm around Lux and
led her away from Bender as Pixie continued to ridicule him. Once they were
away, Dean pulled her into a tight embrace. He held her for a long time before
he pulled back to look at her.

“I don’t know what I would have
done if something had happened to you,” he whispered before he kissed her.

Suddenly, the door swung open and
Lolo, Graves, and Pax rushed in.

“Mom?” both Pixie and Lux said in
unison.

“Lux!” Pax screeched in despair
as she ran over to her daughter.

“Mom! You’re out of the house!”
Lux cried in shock as her mother grabbed her into a tight embrace.

“I couldn’t find you anywhere; I
thought something had happened to you,” Pax cried as she held her daughter
tightly. “I was so scared.”

“I can’t believe you’re actually
outside,” Lux was blown away.

“I couldn’t stay in that building;
I needed to make sure that you were okay,” Pax explained.

“If only we’d known Lux’s
disappearance would bring you out of the house, we would have made Lux
disappear years ago,” Pixie joked but when her mother frowned, she quickly shut
her mouth.

“Everything’s okay now mom and
it’s going to stay that way,” Lux promised her as she hugged her securely.

Michael Bender sobbed as the
police led him through the parted crowd. Dean pulled Lux closer to him and
glared at Michael as he went by. Lux leaned her head against Dean’s chest as
she scowled at Michael.

“The handcuffs are too tight,”
Michael cried to one of the officers.

“Get used to it punk,” Graves
hissed as they walked by.

“Have fun in prison, Clifton, you
counterfeit cop,” Pixie ridiculed him.

“Stay away from that soap,
psycho-stalker boy,” Lolo taunted with a chuckle.

“Good riddance,” Lux whispered
before Dean kissed the top of her head.

The crowd cheered as Michael was
put in the back of the police car. The shouts increased as they drove away from
the building.

“Cake and vodka for everyone!”
Pixie yelled and the crowd went wild.

“Block party!” Lolo yelled as she
raised a piece of cake.

“Now
this
party is going
down in the records for the worst party ever,” Kiki joked as she crossed her
arms.

“But also the most exciting,”
Lolo added.

“I thought it was a
great
party,” Pixie said with a grin as she grabbed a cup of vodka.

“Of course you would,” Kiki
laughed.

“The bad guy lost! I’d say that
puts it on the best party list,” Pixie reasoned with a smile.

“I’m going to bed; I’ve had more
than enough excitement for this evening,” Pax said before she blew a kiss to
everyone.

“Good night Mom,” Lux waved.

“Sleep tight, don’t let the
bedbugs bite,” Pixie added.

Lux turned to her family with a
huge smile on her face. “I must say; this has been one of the most interesting
parties we’ve ever had. I would like to thank all of you for throwing us such
an exciting albeit somewhat-scary and mostly dangerous party. And thank you
Kiki for making such a beautiful meal but now we are going to retire to my room
for the evening.”

“You never have to thank us,”
Pixie purred as she kissed her sister’s cheek.

“Never,” Kiki backed her up.

“Here take this.” Pixie grabbed
the chocolate cake with Dean and Lux’s name written on it.

“I made that one especially for
you two,” Kiki told them.

“Cake is kinky,” Pixie said with
a smile.

“And take this, too,” Graves said
as she handed Dean a bottle of unopened champagne.

Lux took a moment to smile and
appreciate them. They were her friends, her family, and her life. “I love you
girls.”

“We love you, too,” Pixie said
with a wink before Lux and Dean headed into the building.

***

Dean and Lux walked into her
bedroom, and she instantly let out a sigh of relief. He locked the bedroom door
as she walked over to her bed.

“Let’s just eat on the bed,” she
said as she put the bottle of champagne on her black and white polka dot
comforter. After Dean sat the cake on the bed, Lux grabbed him and hugged him
tightly. He wrapped his arms around her and held her firmly against his body.
They embraced for a long time, silently appreciating the feel of each other.
Lux closed her eyes as she inhaled his fresh scent. Damn, she loved that scent.
“I could stay like this forever.”

“I agree. After what just
happened, I don’t ever want to let you go,” he agreed as he kissed the top of
her head.

“What a crazy night,” Lux
whispered against his chest.

“Crazy yet valuable,” Dean
admitted and Lux finally pulled back to look at him.

“Valuable?” She shot him a look
that silently questioned his sanity.

“I’ve never been afraid of
anything in my life until I saw that knife pressed against your throat. I knew
at that moment that my life would end with yours,” he confessed.

“Don’t say that,” she felt the
tears stinging her eyes.

“It’s true. That knife was
pressed to your throat as well as mine. If I didn’t drop dead on the spot, I
would have murdered him; regardless, my life would be over.”

She shook her head. “No it
wouldn’t; you would have gotten off. No judge would have blamed you for what
you did. You wouldn’t have served a day in prison.”

“It wouldn’t matter whether I was
locked in a cell or not; without you, my entire world would be a prison.
Regardless of where I ended up, I would be trapped in my thoughts of you. I
would rot away.”

He let go of her and took a step
back. He reached in his pocket and grabbed the ring he’d been holding onto
since the cabin. He went down on one before her and grabbed her hand.

Lux felt her heart begin to beat
wildly as her anticipation created a cold-ripple effect throughout her body.
When he began to speak, Lux forced her limbs to stop shaking so she could give
him her full attention.

“I want you to marry me, and I’m
not giving you an option to say no. Tonight made me remember how quickly it can
all end and just how fast the one that you love the most could be taken from
you. I don’t ever want this to end; I want you in my life until the day that
I’m dead. I want you to be my wife.” He slipped the ring on her finger and
kissed the top of her hand. “Be warned, if you object I’m going to take you
back to the cabin and chain you in my room until you change your mind.”

“Are you kidding me? I would love
to be your wife,” she cried as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed
him for a moment before pulling back. “But I do like the idea of being chained
in the cabin.”

“And I like the idea of you being
tied to your own bed.” Dean put his arm under her butt and stood up.

“I like that idea, too,” she said
breathlessly before she grabbed his head and kissed him.

Lux was in the same spot that
she’d been in a time or two before. She was hanging from the long chain
attached to the athletic room ceiling with her head thrown back in ecstasy. Her
sensual screams echoed throughout the cabin and erected Dean’s cock to a
painful degree. The corset of her wedding gown was pulled down below her
breasts, leaving her swollen nipples to jut out provocatively. Her husband was
under her voluminous wedding gown with her leg thrown over his shoulder. He
spread her nether lips wide as he devoured her pulsing pussy.

“No more!” she cried out as she
felt her body began to orgasm again. She tried to pull away from his mouth but
he grabbed her free leg and lifted it to his shoulder as well. He clutched her
ass and began to rapidly circle his tongue across her pulsing clit.

“Fuuuck!” she wailed and arched
her back as the orgasm exploded throughout her lower body.

After he had licked every last
drop of juice from her pussy, he pulled her legs from his shoulders and put her
left foot back on the floor. He held her right thigh tightly as he stood to
face her.

“My beautiful bride,” he
whispered as he leaned in to kiss her lips. He put his free hand between her
legs and grazed her clit with his thumb.

“No, no, no,” she shook her head
as his thumb sent electric pulses through her overly stimulated clit. She tried
to pull her hips back, but his death grip on her thigh prevented her from
moving.

“I love the way that you squirm
when I touch you after you come. Your body is so sensitive,” he brushed his
lips against hers as he grazed her clit again and then pulled back to watch
her, “and so responsive.”

“Let me down I want to touch you,
too,” Lux said and then bit her bottom lip when he blew air across her breast.

“No, I’m not finished with you
yet.” He bent his head and latched onto her nipple. He sucked on the tip
ruthlessly as he lightly pinched her clit.

Lux threw her head back and let
it happen. She couldn’t stop him if she wanted to… and she most definitely did
not want him to.

3 hours later…

Lux and Dean were naked on the
back porch, sharing a generous piece of their wedding cake. Lux sat on Dean’s
lap while he fed her bites of the thick, chocolate-fudge cake.

“I can’t eat another bite,” Lux
said after devouring more than half of the piece.

“I still can’t believe you picked
this place over Europe.” He grabbed her breast and ran his thumb over her
nipple.

“This place is more comfortable
than Europe. We can be naked the whole time, and no one will see. We can skinny
dip, you can teach me to fish… we can even have primal, beastly sex in the
front yard if we want. We can do whatever we want here, and no one will bother
us.”

“No one is ever going to bother
us again.”

The End
