TRAPPED (Breaking Free Book 2) (12 page)

We spend the next hour and a half gathering most of mine and the ki
d’
s belongings together and placing them in Hunte
r’
s apartment. The decision on where to put the kids was easy, closest bedroom to where I will be with Hunter, which was just next door, and I wanted them sharing. They may have had their own rooms when we lived with Dan, but their whole world as theyhave known it has been turned upside down,
I’
d much rather them be together and able to offer comfort to one another should they wake in the night and feel disorientated. I
t’
s only temporary anyway, as soon as I am back on my feet properly we can move in to Lotti
e’
s and start searching for our own place.

I’
m busy putting their clothes in the wardrobes, and their soft toys on their beds, when Hunter comes in with the several toy bags from Toys r us. I say several, I really mean half the bloody stores worth. With everything that has gone on the last few days, I had completely forgottenabout Hunte
r’
s over the top spending spree on the kids, although it has come in handy,
I’
m sure it will make the moving about easier for the pair of them to live with.

He starts unpacking the bags, placing Ale
x’
s toys on the shelf above his bed and bedside table, his being the farthest from the door, and Lil
y’
s on the chest of drawers and in what appears to be rather suspiciously a new toy trunk.

I can hear him humming Sam Smit
h’s‘
stay with m
e
’ beneath his breath as he moves about, clearly content in playing the role of family man. It really suits him, and warms me to him just that little bit more, if that was even possible. He truly cares about making Alex and Lil
y’
s stay comfortable, that alone means more to me than anything.

I pull out my new phone, and quietly sit on the bed and record him. Anyone would think he was the kiddi
e’
s Dad, he is so into doing this, and enjoying it too.

About thirty seconds in he seems to catch me out the corner of his eye. He turns to face the camera, giving it a swoon worthy grin and saunters over to me. I hit th
e‘
bac
k
’ button on the device and rest my arms on his shoulders, dropping the side of my face in to his chest. He hums contentedly, swaying me gently in his arms. I could happily stay like this forever. I do
n’
t know how I went on for so long, living through what I did with Dan, when this is the happiest a man has ever made me. The feeling is indescribable, I ca
n’
t find words to express the sheer joy and love he makes me feel. I
t’
s a completely different love to the one I have for my children, but in its own way i
t’
s just as strong.

“
Thank you for doing this, yo
u’
ve done more than I could ever ask for, I will forever be in your debt
.
” I whisper at him.

He pulls me back a touch to be able to see in to my eyes
.“
You do
n’
t ever have to thank me, I would do the same ten times over with no difference whatsoever. Do
n’
t ever forget that,
I’
m always here, anything you need just ask
.
” He tells me with sincerity clear in his voice.

“
I know, I do
n’
t know what I did to deserve you, but I sure as hell am not complaining
.
” He chuckles, shaking his head in amazement
.“
Baby,
I’
ve said the same since that night I met you, and I will continue to say the same for every day you choose to stick around. I do
n’
t ever want to let you go
.
” My heart feels as if it could explode with happiness from chest. I never used to understand all the soppy crap my friends used to tell me about, how their other hal
f’
s would say and do such loving things, I used to cringe in movies when
I’
d see the lovey doveybits, and now I could happily listen to them come from Hunte
r’
s mouth all day long.

I lean up on my tiptoes, taking Hunte
r’
s mouth hungrily. He carefully lifts me in to his arms, prompting me with a few taps to the side of my thighs to wrap my legs around his waist. He begins walking out of the room, and enter
s‘
ou
r
’ room, closing the door behind him and lowering me to the ground. We both remove our clothes hurriedly, needing one another. 

I unabashedly, place my now naked body on the bed, my arms propping me up, and my legs dropping open giving Hunter a view of my soaking wet pussy. He stalks towards me, like a predator with its prey, and runs his thumb up my slit, gathering my arousal and swirling it around my throbbing clit.

I do
n’
t know what has gotten in to me, but I do not seem to give a shit, I want this man, and I want him now.
I’
m acting like a complete brazen hussy, and I fucking love it.

“
I know I said we were to wait
,
” he pauses, one side of his mouth tilts up as I begin to panic that he has wound my body up, only to refuse me again
,“
but I ca
n’
t wait baby, it physically hurts seeing you like this and being unable to take you. I have to have that perfect cunt, but we are going to take this slow and steady, my way, or not at all
.
” His thumb continues to swirl as he tells me this, the pleasure building throughout, intensifying to nearly unbearable levels with the need to have him fill me. 

“
Please, I need you
.
” I cry out.

“
Not yet baby, yo
u’
re not ready for me
.
” Is he kidding me? I know for a fact
I’
m soaked, and practically panting with need.

I feel hollow, empty, I need his cock, and I need it now.

My hips roll, attempting to add more pressure to my clit, but he anticipates my move and reacts in sync with me, much to my frustration.

I reach down to seize his huge cock, growling aloud when my hand finds air instead. He dips his head, nipping and sucking at each of nipples in turn, gradually increasing the speed and pressure of his thumb.

My eyes squeeze shut, the pleasure mounting and shooting outwards to the tips of my fingers and toes
.“
Oh god, fuckkk
.
” I groan out long and low as I explode, the orgasm only fuelling the need for Hunter further.

The second I come back down to earth I bat his hand away, sliding down the bed a touch so as to be able to reach his hardness.

He hisses in a breath as I grab a fistful, slowly pumping my hand up and down his length
.“
Are you going to give me what I need and fuck me yet, or do I need to drive you crazy with want
?
” I purr the words seductively at him.

“
You continuously drive me crazy with want woman
.
” His hands drop beside my head, and in one slow, drawn out move, he pumps forward, finding my entrance and sinking fully inside with my hand flattened between our bodies.

We both whimper from the feeling his actions cause, the sheer bliss of having him inside of me is out of this world, I do
n’
t think I will ever get bored of this.

He remains motionless inside of me, allowing me time to adjust to his size.  He rolls his hips, hitting every nerve ending within me, and sparking pleasure throughout.

When he feels the tenseness leave my body, he begins to move, with slow, deliberate, measured strokes. The connection I feel with this man is like no other, I will never have enough of him and can only pray he feels the same about me.

Every thrust he makes inwards hits my g spot dead on, sparking an orgasm to build from out of nowhere almost immediately. I know
I’
m not going to be long, the feeling is exquisite, and just what my body was craving.

He dips his face to mine, taking my lips as he pumps in to me, my tongue meeting his stroke for stroke in time with his thrusts. This is making loving, not fucking, but two people using their bodies to express how they feel for one another.

My inner muscles gradually tense around his cock, at the same time his cock begins to swell. The pair of us are right on the edge, just needing that final push. I pull my mouth away and mumble a
n“
I love you
,
” as I shatter in to a million pieces beneath him. He draws my orgasm out by continuing to move in and out, my inner muscles soon milking his orgasm from him.

He falls to the side of me
,“
I love you too baby, so, so much
!
” and pulls my head on to his chest. Both of our breathing is laboured, and we are a sweaty mess, but I could not care less right now. I am where I want to be, with a man who loves me for me, and am a sexually sated, happy in love woman.

Connie:

I must have drifted to sleep again, my body tiring easily after its ordeal, and also feeling the aches and pain more when the exhaustion sets in
.“
Shh. Sleep.
I’
ll finish up whilst you get some rest. Your Mum called to inform you of the traffic she is stuck in, and that she does
n’
t expect to be with us before eight. You have plenty of time
.
” I feel his lips press against my forehead briefly. I barely have the energy to give a reply, finding it easier and a lot less painful to roll over and lose myself in sleep again.

I’
m awoken again, this time by what sounds to be Hunter talking loudly and rapidly. His words are
n’
t very clear, due to the distance he has obviously placed between us, but th
e‘
motherfucker
s
’ and th
e‘
shi
t
’ he keeps repeating travel quite clearly to me. Something is obviously wrong, and by the sounds of it, it is quite bad.

I do
n’
t give myself the chance to rouse properly, opting to swing my legs off of the bed, my eyes spotting a fresh pair of leggings, purple vest top and underwear on top of the chest of the drawers by the door, the man thinks of everything. I dress quickly and carry myself on achy limbs out of the bedroom door in search of Hunter.

I ca
n’
t help but steal a glance next door, stopping outside of the ki
d’
s bedroom, taking in all he has done whilst I have been sleeping.

Their new and old toys are neatly tucked on shelves and toy chests, with several of their old toys being placed on their beds. They have new duvet sets, pink princesses for Lily and superheroes for Alex. Two nightlights have been inserted in to the sockets beside their beds, and a huge brown faux fur rug has been placed in the centre of the room. The addition that astonishes me the most though, are the brackets that were at the foot of both of the beds on the wall, now have two flat screen TV/DVD combis, one pink and one blue.

Not only has he transformed a spare room in to a ki
d’
s bedroom, he has taken it to a whole other level, they did
n’
t even have this luxury at home.
I’
m amazed at the selflessness and the lengths this man keeps going to make us all happy. I know Alex and Lily will love it, I also know they are never going to want to leave.

A thumping sound resonates from down the hall, and I snap myself from my musings and go in the other direction in search of Hunter again.

He is stood, with his back facing me, staring out of the windows overlooking the river. A small side table, which
I’
m pretty sure he did
n’
t have before I fell asleep, is turned on its side, with one of the wooden legs hanging off at an odd angle
.“
Come on man, you have to know the hospital? This should be a piece of piss for you, you already know where the accident happened
.
”

Hospital, what the bloody hell is he talking about?
I’
m worrying now, he sounds frustrated and angry talking to whomever is on the phone. And an accident, oh god, surely it ca
n’
t be my Mum and the kids, my phone has
n’
t rang, that
I’
m aware of.

Bollocks, I sprint back to the bedroom, ignoring the pain bouncing around my body. My heart is thumping painfully in my chest at a rapid rate, blood whooshing through my ears.

I can distantly hear Hunter calling my name, but I need to get to my phone and be sure that he is not talking about my family. I make the mistake of running in to our room, spinning on the spot and running back to Lily and Ale
x’
s when I remember leaving my bag in there.

Shit, come on. The room is spotless, and my bag is nowhere to be seen. Oh god,
I’
m going to be sick, not my babies, please not my babies.

“
Connie
.
” A pair of strong arms come around me, turning me around to face Hunter dressed in a yellow Lyle and Scott t-shirt and light denim jeans. I ca
n’
t bring myself to look at his face, if it is them then I cannot cope with hearing the words come from his lips
.“
Connie
.
” He repeats, placing his index finger beneath my chin and raising my face to his. I screw my eyes shut in response. I ca
n’
t hear this.

“
Baby look at me
.
” I shake my head childishly from side to side in response.

“
Wha
t’
s going on
?
” Huh, what? How can he ask that when he has been shouting and smashing things up and asking about hospitals? Something has happened. I snap my eyes open and frown in confusion at him.

“
Where are my Mum and the kids
?
” I suck in a shaky breath.

Hunter frowns
,“
Your Mum and the kids
?
” I nod, on the verge of throwing up
.“
On their way back, unless you have heard anything different. Why has something happened to them
?
” His hands come up to hold on to my upper arms, worry evident on his features all of a sudden.

Now
I’
m really confused, I assumed when he mentioned an accident and hospital that he had to be talking about my family. Oh balls, how stupid do I appear?
I’
m so used to the worst always happening, that the first thought running through my mind was that it was my family
.“
I heard you mention anaccident on the phone, and something about a hospital, I put that together with the shouting and banging, and like an idiot I assumed you were talking about my babies
.
” I reply sheepishly.

Hunter leans down and rests his forehead against mine, inhaling heavily
.“I’
m sorry, I did
n’
t mean to be so loud
.
” He pauses, and I watch as his eyes close and he chews his lip for a moment, appearing to mull over his next words. He did
n’
t deny it though, and that makes my whole world feel as though it is on the brink of crashing down around me
.“
Lottie was on her home from the office, or so Harry can work out. She was waiting at a set of lights, not too far from here when she was involved in a collision. She was stationary, and the car that hit her did pull a hit and run. Apparently she appears almost unscathed, just a mild case of whiplash, but she was taken to hospital to get checked out as a precaution. Harry is going to find out where she was taken and go and see her to bring her home
.
” Oh my god, why have
n’
t I been called? What am I saying, I would
n’
t even know if I had been, my bag has gone.

Fuck, poor Lottie
.“
Hunter wher
e’
s my bag
?
” I ask, extracting myself from his arms and turning to begin searching the room.

“
Calm down, yo
u’
re shaking. I put your bag in the kitchen when I was sorting everything out for Alex and Lily
.
” There is so much to process, my family is fine, Lottie is not, and Hunter has spent more time and money on the kids and I.

“
Thank you
.
” I throw over my shoulder as I make my way to the kitchen to retrieve my phone from my bag
.“
For the ki
d’
s room. It looks amazing and I know they will adore it
.
” I clarify.

A hand comes from nowhere, gripping my wrist and pulling me to a stop
.“
Slow down, yo
u’
re shaking so hard
I’
m worried your legs are going to cave
.
”

H
e’
s right, I spot my whole body practically convulsing, the whole stress of the situation taking it
s
’ toll on my body.

My back leans in to his chest, and I sigh as his arms come around my front, holding me to him
.“
I
t’
s okay, they are all okay
.
” He whispers in to my hair.

His arms offer the comfort I was needing, and the adrenaline begins to leave my body.

Something is not adding up, now I am calming down, I can see things clearer
.“
Why were you so angry? I mean, I know Lottie is my friend, but I do
n’
t understand how that would affect you in such a way that it would make you lose your temper and smash things up
.
”

I know there is something he is
n’
t telling me, it does
n’
t add up. If Lottie is fine as he says, why the anger?

I hear him sigh deeply
,“
I was worried how you would react, I did
n’
t know she was fine at the time, and thought it would causeyou too much stress after everything you have been through
.
” That makes sense I suppose.

I turn in his arms, and notice his eyes shift from anywhere and everywhere to avoid looking at me. I know that look, I have lived with that look for so long being with Dan, tha
t’
s the look Dan would give me when he was up to no good and only giving me half-truths, the stuff that would
n’
t push me too far.

“
What are you hiding
?
”

“
Nothing
,
” He kisses my forehead, this rapidly becoming his trademark move when he wants to calm me
.“
Le
t’
s go and get your phone, then we can see if Harry has an update on Lottie yet
.
” He takes my hand and begins pulling me to the kitchen.

I’
ll let it go for now, but the second I have my phone I am ringing Lottie myself and find out exactly what is going on, I will not be lied to over something as serious as this.

My phone has four missed calls, all from Lottie. I kick myself for not being there when my friend needs me, I must start answering my poxy phone, and keep it with me at all times.

I unlock the device and try to call her phone, but it immediately jumps to her voicemail, telling me to leave a message at the beep
.“
Fuck sake
.
” I mutter beneath my breath.

Hunter walks to the fridge and pulls out a bottle of water, followed by a few slices of pre-cut melon
.“
Eat some of this
.
” The food is placed on the breakfast bar with the water, he then turns and collects my pain killers from the cupboard, pops two from the packet and places them alongside the water.

I roll my eyes unconsciously, garnering a scowl from Hunter
.“
Do
n’
t give me that look. I know yo
u’
re hurting, you have a slight limp going on
.
” He growls out.

Oh, was I? I have
n’
t had a chance to think since being awoken by him.

It ca
n’
t hurt to take them anyway, I know once I come down from my scare I am bound to ache.

I hop on the stool in front of the bar, and pop the pills in my mouth, opening the water and swallowing down a few mouthfuls.
I’
m still full from lunch earlier, but the melon looks lush, and my mouth waters in anticipation of the juices flowing over my tongue.

I finish off two small slices, closing my eyes and humming in satisfaction as I push the plate away from me.

“
Yes
?
” I ask, noticing Hunter staring at me with his mouth agape.

His throat clears
,“
Nothing, nothing
.
” He snaps himself out of whatever had him staring at me like that. I pick up my water and take a small sip, but Hunte
r’
s words have me spewing the liquid across the work surface in shock
.“
God you even make eating sexy, I wish I had time to throw you over this work surface and fuck you till you were seeing stars
.
” I cough and splutter for several seconds with one arm wrapped around my injured ribs.
I’
m getting sick of the bloody things catching me out and hurting when I least expect it
.“
But we have
n’
t got time
.
” His words are followed up by a smirk.
