Dominate Me: A Devoured Club Novel (17 page)

I nodded and wrapped my arms around him, burying my face into his chest. I heard him motion to Aiden
, and then speak.

“I will be back in a week. I promise. Take care of her.” There was a pause. “And yourself.”

“Of course. I won’t let anything happen to us,” Aiden responded, and I heard him walk towards us. I held on tight to Devlin. No matter what happened, I was scared shitless for his return to London, for him to confront that man, and for him to get involved in any sort of anything.

“Boss, time to go. Marcus has the cars ready
,” Kieran said, popping his head around the corner of the door. I felt Devlin’s body tense, and I moved back to see him nodding to Kieran. This was it.

We all gathered our bags and took the elevator to the parking garage. As Kieran had said, two black Tahoes were ready; one for Aiden and
me, and one to take the boys to the airport.

Emma stepped around the side of the car I assumed was for us. “Ally, be safe
, please. Call us if you need anything.” She pulled me into a hug as I whimpered into her ear.

“I will. I love you, Em
,” I said pulling away.

“Love you too, Alexia.” She moved toward Marcus
, and I turned one last time to face Devlin, who just finished placing his bags into the cargo area of the SUV.

“I don’t want you to go
,” I said, tears now rolling slowly down my face.

His fingers wiped away the moisture
, and he pulled me in for a kiss. One that was filled with emotion, love, lust - it was almost as if he felt that he wasn’t coming back. “I love you, pumpkin. Never doubt how much. I will be back in a week, and we will celebrate. Understand?”

I nodded. “
I love you too, sir. Please be safe.” He placed another kiss on my lips before looking at Aiden. I knew that there would not be an exchange of emotion here - too many people were around. I watched as the men stared at each other for what felt like minutes, before Aiden pulled me to him, and we watched Marcus, Emma, Devlin and Kieran pile into the other car. The tears flowed as I watched them drive out of the garage.

Aiden pulled me into his chest, his arms wrapping around me. “Shh…sweetie. He’ll be okay.”

“How do you know?” I asked through sobs.

“He’s the smartest and most resourceful person I know. Even if it was years ago…. Come on
, we have to get on the road.”

I wiped my face and hopped into the passenger side of the SUV. Aiden situated himself into the driver
’s seat, and I laughed.

“What’s so funny?”

“Can you even drive on the wrong side of the car? Road even?” I asked, buckling my seat belt.

“For your information, yes I can.”

“Okay, good. Just remember we drive on the right side over here.” I smiled.

“You’re going to earn a punishment for your mouth.” A grin slid across his lips. I was momentarily speechless.

“The only person allowed to give me punishment is Devlin.”

“We’ll see about that.” He chuckled and put the car into drive, signaling the GPS to start talking. Off we went.

I saw the shock in her eyes as soon as I mentioned a punishment, but I also saw how she swayed and clenched her thighs. Devlin and I had discussed this. He was overly protective of her, but being that she was willing to see how this type of relationship would work, he had given me permission to allow things to happen if they did. I was not to push her, but to see if anything lead to anything else. It was similar to how the relationship with Caroline had started. Devlin had given us permission to be intimate with each other, the three of us together, or amongst one another. There were times when Caroline and I fucked, other times Devlin and I. Then there were also the times when we all fucked together. How I missed those times, especially at the club.

I pulled out of the garage and
headed in the direction that the GPS said. Thank God that Marcus dude had pre-entered the address. I would have never figured it out. I looked over to see Ally looking out of the window. Tears were still coming down her face. She wasn’t crying hard, but was upset. Hell, I was upset. I pulled the sleeve of my sweatshirt up, revealing my tattoo-covered forearm. I reached across the car and placed my hand on her thigh, squeezing lightly. She turned to face me, and I could see the pain in her face.

“He’ll be okay. Trust him, trust me
,” I said, now running my hand over her leg.

“How do you know? This man seems very bad.”

“Because he has you to come back too, and I have no doubts that he will.”

Ally moved her head back and turned to her attention back to the window. I grabbed her hand and laced our fingers together. I felt her tense a little, but quickly relax
, as I had no intention of letting go. Not until I had to. Spending the past few days with her and Devlin, I’d watched her. I’d learned how to read her emotions, her body. How she responded to our touches differently. Fuck, how she responded to me at all. I was grateful that she was willing to at least try this. It was all new to her; the lifestyle and the relationship, but the last few days had been amazing. Devlin seemed to have relaxed, and we all hung out together. Reading, working, watching television, not to mention the intense sessions we’d had all week.

We drove in silence, stopping once for gas on the
four-hour drive to the boonies of New Hampshire. I squeezed Ally’s hand when we arrived at a cabin in Errol.

“Wake up, sweetie. We are here. Although I thought we were going to Vermont…” I said with a puzzled thought.

“We must have gone to Lucas’ cabin instead,” Ally said as she turned to see the surroundings.

“I thought we were going to Marcus’?” I asked, still unsure what the hell was going on.

“I don’t know. I just know that I am tired and need to pee.” Ally reached for the door handle and I pulled her to me. I brushed my lips across hers.

“You are cranky. I can help that
,” I said, nipping her lower lip.

“I’m sure you could, but Devlin’s not here.”

I pulled away and let go of her hand. “Let’s get inside and see if we need anything.”

Ally hesitated as I opened my door and grabbed the bags from the back of the SUV. I pulled out the key Marcus had handed me
, and walked up the stairs to the deck that graced the side door.

Ally followed shortly after I unlocked the door. We stepped into the
closed-in porch, and through a set of sliding doors into an open living area. To our left was a small kitchen with a breakfast bar. Just past the kitchen was the bathroom, and to the right of that was a bedroom. One bedroom.

I walked and placed our bags in the room and returned to where Ally was still standing.

“Are you upset at the accommodations, or just really cranky?” I asked, still a little pissed about the incident in the car.

“I’m fine
,” she said snippily.

I walk up to her and
ran my hands over her hips to her ass. “I don’t buy that at all.”

Ally
stepped away from me, and I didn’t make any further movement towards her.

“I said I was fine. Now please
, let it go and stop touching me.”

“All of a sudden you don’t want me to touch you. Yet, all week I was touching you, making you scream our names, sliding my cock into your wet pussy. But now you don’t want me to touch you? Please explain
that to me.” I walked to the kitchen to find the refrigerator stocked. They must have called someone. I pulled out a bottle of water and sat on a stool near the breakfast bar. “I’m waiting.”

“That was different
,” she said.

“How?” I stared at her. I knew what she thought was different, but it wasn’t. There was no reason we couldn’t be close just because Devlin wasn’t
there.

“Because it is. It just is.” She looked away and sat on the couch.

“You’re not cheating on him, if that’s what you think. Having sex with me while he’s away isn’t cheating.” I waited for her to reply.

“Fuck you, Aiden. He’s flying into a shithole to save your ass
, and all you want to think about is having sex with me? Where are your priorities?”

“Right where they need to be. Right where I promised him they would be. ON YOU. He knows the deal, he knows what
could happen. He trusts me to keep you safe, and I will.”

I watched as she sat on the couch
, speechless again. What Ally didn’t know, or maybe didn’t understand, was that while she had been sleeping one day, we’d had a conversation, Devlin and I. A conversation that revolved around Ally. What she meant to him, what she was starting to mean to me. There was no denying the fact that, within a week, Ally had softened a bit of my heart that only Caroline had done before. It was definitely a different feeling again; one that I didn’t want to lose. I explained this to Devlin, as best I could without sounding like I had a pussy.

“I’m hungry. Do you want me to cook something
, or do you want to go out and get something?” I asked her, breaking the silence.

“Out, I guess
,” she said, rubbing her hands together.

“I thought I saw a lodge or something about a mile back toward the other town.” I grabbed the keys and walked toward the door
, watching as she followed.

“Sounds fine to me.”

∞∞∞∞∞

I awoke to a loud crash in the kitchen. I’d slept on the couch the last two nights, not wanting to disturb her or offend her, I guess. She had been quiet since dinner the other night. I knew she wanted to give in, but wouldn’t. I had learned in a short amount of time how stubborn she could be.

“What the bloody hell are you trying to do in there?” I asked
, rubbing my eyes as I sat up.

“I’m trying to make breakfast. What do you think I am trying to do?”
she answered, flustered. I looked toward the kitchen, and Ally was dressed in a pair of sweatpants and a white tank top, no bra. My dick stirred, even against the morning hardness.

“Burning down the house?” I joked back. I walked into the kitchen and took the pan from her hands and placed it on the counter. Pinning her against the cabinets, I held her in place with one hand on her waist. I watched as her nipples hardened under her shirt and her breath quickened. I ran
the fingers of my free hand up and down the skin of her right arm. Goosebumps appeared on the flesh. Ally shifted uncomfortably in place. She was turned on, I could tell. She responded at the simplest of touches.

“Why don’t you make us some coffee
, and leave the cooking to me,” I said, pulling back, trailing my fingers up her arm and down over her breast. God, I wanted to pull her shirt down and take her nipple into my mouth and hear her moan as I teased the erect bud with my tongue, twisting it between my fingers. I finished pulling back, and adjusted my erection. Fuck, I was going to need to take care of that later.

I turned away and opened the refrigerator
, grabbing out eggs and bacon. I preferred Irish bacon, but I wasn’t going to complain about the food or hospitality of our hosts. I began to cook, and watched as Ally made herself a cup of coffee and sat at the bar area.

“I’m sorry for being a bitch.”

“Apology accepted.” I turned to face her. “Listen, sweetie. We are stuck here without him, so we might as well make the best of it and not worry about things. What happens, happens. Okay?”

“Yeah, sounds like a plan.”

I nodded my head and turned back to the food that was cooking. Finishing up, I plated the meals and slid them onto the bar. I grabbed a cup of coffee - black, nothing else - and sat next to her to eat. We ate in silence, and as she cleaned the plates, I had an idea.

“Hey, why don’t we head out somewhere
? Go for a hike or something? I saw information at the lodge last night.”

“I don’t know. Aren’t we supposed to be staying secluded?” Ally placed the clean dishes
onto the drainer.

“I don’t think anyone will find us in the middle of nowhere. We’ve been cramped up in the cabin for two days, you plugged into your computer
, and since you won’t let me do what I want to do, I need a distraction.”

“You’re an asshole, Aiden.”

“I know. So, hike or not?”

“Fine. I’m going to shower
,” she said walking to the bedroom.

“I’m going to jerk off.” I heard her sigh as she shut the bathroom door. I was fucked. I wouldn’t be able to make i
t through the rest of the week without burying myself into her wet cunt.

About an hour later we were ready to go. I had dressed in a pair of shorts, and grabbed a lightweight pullover. Ally was dressed in a pair of yoga pants, and also pulled a lightweight jacket over.

“I hope you left
your bra in the bedroom?”

“Does it look like I did?”
she questioned back. No, it didn’t. Ally was well endowed on the breast front, and she definitely needed something to provide support. I was mentally picturing how I might be able to fuck the living shit out of her on a hiking trail…

“Are you ready?”
she asked, bringing me out of my daydream. Damn woman!

“Yup.”

We locked the door and jumped into the SUV. The plan was to go back to the lodge and grab a brochure, and figure out where we were going to go. I didn’t care where. I just wanted privacy and woods, and a possible place where I could slide my cock into her.

“How about the flumes?”
she said, holding up a brochure for an area attraction.

“Sounds fine to me.” I grabbed the flyer and headed back to the SUV. Ally popped in next to me
, and I immediately placed my hand on her leg. It was the subtle act of dominance that I hoped would relax her a bit.

We drove the forty-five minutes to the flumes, or whatever the hell they were called. It seemed like everything we needed to get to was a fucking drive away.
I parked the car and slid my hand north on her legs. I watched as a shiver ran through her body. She couldn’t deny her attraction, even if she wanted to.

“Let’s go
,” I said, opening the door and stepping out. I watched as she took a deep breath and hopped out of the SUV.

The air was fresh
, with the cold smell of that mountain air that Americans are always talking about. We began the hike on flat ground, slowly working our way over a series of wooden bridges and stairs. The fucking stairs! We passed a series of flumes as we walked. The water cascaded down over rocks and ledges cut out by the glaciers, or at least that’s what the dozen or so signs that we’d passed said.

I grabbed her hand as we reached the top of the hike, the stairs
opening up to a landing. I pulled her to a corner of the landing, and pulled her body in front of mine. Standing behind her, I blocked any view of her body form people sneaking up on us. Luckily for me, it was pretty scarce out. I locked her into the space, placing my left arm on the side of hers, my right arm wrapped around her waist. My hand began to rub lazily over her abdomen.

“It’s a gorgeous thing, no?” I asked as her body swayed back and forth.

“Hmmm.”
