Rising Up: Finding Me book 1 (17 page)

Lucas laughed a dry hollow laugh.  "Well that went well, don't you think?"

"Shut the fuck up Lucas."  Lake walks ahead of us.

"Shit Mason.  What the hell went on last night?  Actually don't tell me I'm not interested, this is why I stay single.  Ginny don't worry about your ex today I'm on to it and I'll let you know if I find out anything new."  Lucas pats my shoulder and starts to walk ahead.

"Thank you Lucas." I smile but I know it's weak.

Mason holds on tight to my hand all the way to my office, I think he knows I'm close to tears.  "Don't stress babe, let her stew today and talk to her tonight.  Don't let her interfere with your work."  Kissing my head he walks away and into his office.  "Call me if you have any problems."

As it happens I'm so busy I don't think about Maddie or Jake all day.  My report was finished quickly and I think the guys and Davenport senior will be happy.  I had lunch on my own at my desk, which seems to be becoming a habit but I love my job. I sense Mason walk past but don't look up, I know I will want to leave with him if I see him. 

After another hour I start to pack up my work and get ready to leave, my stomach starts to churn as I think of facing Maddie.  I don't know why she is so angry with me. 

Walking home I see Tamsin and Amber walking into the bar.  "Hey!  Wait up you two."  They turn and smile when they see me and wait for me to catch up and we all walk into the bar.

"Hi Ginny, how are you feeling today, I'm so sorry about last night, I really wished I hadn't Googled his name."  Amber looks so contrite that I can't help pulling her to me and hugging her.

"It doesn't matter Amber, I was treated very badly by him and he scares me still.  I'll try and explain it to you one day but please don't worry, Mason and his cousins had already found out that he was coming over here and would have told me anyway.

How long did you stay after I left? 

Maddie is really angry with me, although she did come up to apologize so I don't understand why.  Did she say anything to you two at all?"

"No not really, we didn't stay long, she started crying saying that she always messes things up with you.  I don't know why she's angry with you."  Tamsin shrugs her shoulders.

"I know we've only just met, but I really like hanging out with you Ginny, I think Maddie is unhappy at Lake, and she may be a bit jealous of you and Mason."  Amber squeezes my hand.

"Maybe you're right, I've known Maddie a very long time and we will work this out.  Thanks for being honest with me."  As I go to walk away I see Mark and a woman staring hard at me.  "Hey Tamsin, do you know who that woman is?  She looks familiar and the guy she's with is Mark, and he's the one that trashed Mason's car and has been fired from my work."  The woman looks like the girl in the picture Mason showed me, Lauren.

Tamsin looks over.  "Yeah, I know her.  She's Mason's ex-girlfriend, she's a right bitch who cheated on him all the time.  You need to keep away from her she's trouble."

"Great that's all I need, another psycho ex."  I turn and walk home.

Jake

I knew it wouldn't take me long to find someone pissed off with Heidi, or 'Imogen' as she calls herself now.  Lauren will be easy to manipulate if I wave some cash in front of her, she screams gold digger. 

A few messages to her Facebook page and she's hooked, and wants to get even with her ex- boyfriend, he's fucking dating Heidi, she's such a fucking slut!  It didn't take her long to find a new shag.  The whore couldn't wait to get fucked again!

Lauren says she's friends with a guy who's just got canned from her boyfriend's firm, he may be able to mix things up a bit too, let the games begin. 

The States is proving to be very profitable, the new job is going to rake in big bucks for me, and the thought of getting close to Heidi again is getting me hard.  Time to find a plaything for a couple of hours, picking up my phone I call Damien.

"Hey man, do you fancy picking up a girl and having some fun?  Peter is here now too so we could all have a go, what do you reckon."

"A bit risky mate, the contract keeps changing so we're not done and dusted with it yet, you go and let off some steam but keep it safe."

"When did you ever turn down a hot easy lay?  Come on Damien I'll keep it soft."

"Fine!  It's a good job I'm horny or you'd be on your own.  I'll be with you in ten."

Two bars later we find just the girl!

Mason

I hated leaving Ginny today, I know she's confused about Maddie and worried about her fucking asshole ex, but we need to act quickly to try and get the restraining order in place.  Although I think we are too late to keep him from entering the country, we can cause a hell of a lot of problems.  Unfortunately he knows where Imogen is and is more than capable of intimidating her, he proved that just with the flowers.

Lake has been working hard on building a case against Jake Williams, and it seems that Lucas has found other girls who also suffered under his heavy fists, and is working on persuading them to come forward if needed. 

Imogen's mother seems to have disappeared for now, so we don't know if she is still seeing Williams or he has dropped her in case it gets out to the media.

By lunchtime I'm desperate to see Ginny, but I know she is very busy with April, and I'm not going to interfere with her work.  I have seen Maddie a couple of times but she hasn't tried to speak, so I left her alone.  But I'll be damned if I let her hurt Ginny.

I thought I saw her going in Lake's office but again not my problem.  Lake can sort it out, it's his mess, although the fact that it caused a lot of heartache for Ginny has me pissed.  I just want today to hurry up and be over with so I can get Imogen naked and under me, I just can't get enough of her, and even just the thought of her stripped and panting for me makes me hard, so I start thinking of what we could try out tonight. 

Maybe she'll let me spank her again, although tying her up does sound good, maybe handcuffs, that's probably a bit too much like her awful experiences with that bastard.  But, shit my dick is pressing so hard against the zip in my pants that I get up and walk to my private bathroom, and leaning my back up against the sink I pull my cock out of my pants and start stroking it hard and fast all the time picturing Ginny naked and stretched out on my bed. 

My breathing escalates and I'm soon coming hard, my release shoots across the room as a groan escapes from me.  Stroking the last of my orgasm out of my now softening dick I shudder one more time before tidying myself and the room up.  I haven't had to whack myself off since my teenage years, Lauren never had this effect on me.

Getting myself back to my desk I call Luc.  "Hey dude, have you got anywhere with Mark and Lauren?  I mean he's agreed to settle the bill on my car if I don't press charges but if he's gonna bear a grudge who better than to take it up with than my crazy ex."

"I've checked a few things out and it looks like someone has been in touch with Lauren, but isn't saying his name but it looks like it's him, they've swapped cell numbers so I'm getting his records of calls and monitoring that too.  Something is starting to happen so I'm keeping close tabs on him. 

Lauren has been contacted too and shit dude, did you know that she still says she's in a relationship with you on her Facebook page, and they've called each other a few times but nothing much else."

"Fuck, what the hell is up with her and Facebook!"  I've never been on it and don't have any interest in looking at her page.  "Can you cause a bit of havoc by shutting down her page and see what she comes back with.  She'll have to set up a new page won't she?

"Consider it done, dude.  Do you know if Ginny is on Facebook or Twitter, basically any social media site, I think I'll see if she's traceable that way, if you don't mind that is?"

"I don't think she does much of that, but feel free to look and check out Maddie too if you can.  Has the restraining order gone in yet, do you know?"

"Lake is sorting that out, speak to him I'm sure he's on top of it.  I'll check Maddie out too.  Are you seeing Ginny tonight?"

"Too damn right I am, I can't get enough of her, but she is gonna speak to Maddie first and try and sort things out with her.  I think this all stems back to Lake not saying anything about her yesterday.  She has commitment issues or some shit like that, Imogen didn't really say much but I think her home life was a bit shit when she was growing up."

"Okay mate, I'll get on to this and call if anything important shows up."

"Thanks, I owe you one."  I decide to pack up for the day and pick up a couple of files to take home with me and walk out, Ginny is still at her desk and doesn't look up as I walk past, but I know she can sense me because she sits up a bit straighter as she tenses up.  I love the effect we have on each other.

*

It's late now and I haven't heard from Imogen yet, so I decide to go down to see her, maybe she's still talking to Maddie, I hope it's all sorted and we can come back up here and go to bed.

Knocking on the door I can hear voices but no one comes to open the door, pulling out my cell I call Ginny.  "Hey babe.  Can you let me in I'm at your door."

"Shit Mason, I'm sorry I didn't realize how late it was."  I can hear her footsteps running down her hallway.  She pulls the door open and I can see she is much happier, she must have sorted things out with Maddie.

"Is everything okay now babe?"  Leaning down to kiss her and whispering in her ear.  "I damn well hope so because I want you naked and tied to my bed tonight."  She gasps and leans against my body, my hard dick is pressed against her stomach.

"Yeah, everything is good but Lake and her really need to sort things out, because she really likes him and he has hurt her feelings."

"Did she say why she was cross with you?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter.  We've cleared the air."

"You sound like you're not going to tell me.  Am I gonna have to spank your ass?"  Her giggle makes my dick even harder.

Imogen

Walking through the door I can see Maddie stood with two glasses of wine in her hands.  Her eyes are full of tears as she passes me one of the glasses.  "I'm really sorry Ginny, I didn't mean to upset you and I'm not angry with you.  I wanted to be but I just can't.  I'm so jealous of what you and Mason have, and I thought perhaps Lake and I would have developed into more, but by him keeping quiet about us he hurt me.

Maybe he is just a player and I was a bit of fun, who knows, but I'm going to be mature about this and get on with my job.  Please say you forgive me I don't think I could cope with being here if you weren't my friend anymore."

I put my glass down and hug her tight.  "Maddie I could never not be your friend.  I love you, we are sisters you and me.  We have been through so much together, how you can think it could be over because of one disagreement.  I think you and Lake need to talk to each other, I know he likes you so please talk to him."

"I will but not yet.  I need to get my head straight first."  There is a knock on the door.  "I ordered us Chinese is that okay?"  She walks forward to open the door.

"Absolutely, bring it on girlfriend!" 

The tension in my body leaves me, thank God for that.  The evening, like the wine, flows well as all the harsh words are forgotten and we spend the time not discussing the men in our lives, but talking about work, and although we touch on the subject of Jake, I tell her that I am going to go ahead and press charges against him.  My phone rings and I see it's Mason.  "Shit I forgot to call him!"  I go skipping down the hallway.

He pulls me towards his body and whispers very rude things in my ear causing me to gasp and I feel his erection pressing against me.

"Are you coming in Sweetie?  Come and talk to Maddie I think she'd like to see you."

"Just for a couple of minutes because I really want to fuck you!"

"I'll go and grab my clothes for tomorrow then."  I move away quickly as he swats my backside making me yelp.

I hear him walk in and hear him start to speak.  "Hey Maddie, how are you feeling?"

"Pretty shitty actually Mason but I want to apologize to you for upsetting you with how I treated Imogen this morning.  I'm sorry, I really am."

"Okay, thanks for that Maddie but believe me when I say this.  I don't want this to ever happen again.  I won't be as forgiving next time.  She is the most important thing in my life and I won't have her unhappy again.  I need to know that you've got her back, if her ex starts trying to get to her again she's going to have to trust you to protect her.  I need you to let me know as much as you can about him.  Please tell Lucas as well, he is monitoring his every move for me."

"I know, and I promise you that it won't happen again.  Jake is dangerous, he doesn't like to be made to look like the bad guy and is very sneaky and will play some very dirty games to get his own way.  He will be trying to get information on her, watch your back and keep an eye on anyone who has a grudge against you because he will find them and use them to get to her."

I know I shouldn't have been listening but I wanted to know what they were talking about, I wasn't expecting it to be about Jake and it made me think back to seeing Mark and Lauren together, could they be a way in for him to get back to me.  I decide to tell Lucas tomorrow.

"I'm ready Mason.  Maddie I'll see you tomorrow, have a good sleep tonight, we're all good here."

Mason takes my bag from my shoulder and leads me away towards the elevator.

Pulling me quickly through his apartment I hardly have time to think.  "Hey Mason, where's the fire?  Slow down."

"I can't, I want you too much.  I've had a hard-on all day."  He drops my bag on the top of his dresser and starts pulling at my clothes.  My shirt is the first to go and he begins to unbutton it, but I can see his impatience building and the buttons go flying across the room when he rips my shirt open, he pauses and just stares at my breasts.  "I fucking love your tits babe."  Running his fingertips over the swell above the cups of my bra he bends and sucks on my nipple through the lace fabric.  My fingers weave through his hair pulling him against me. 

"More Mason, I need more."  I'm panting when his teeth clamp down hard.  His hands have unzipped my skirt and lets it drop and pool around my feet, he cups my backside and pushes me up against his swollen cock.  I'm left standing in just my underwear and my heels.

Kneeling down he leans back on his heels and runs his hands up my stockinged legs. "I fucking love your legs."  His hands reach the apex of my thighs and his finger dips inside my panties gliding over my lips and parting them to slowly enter me.

"You are so wet for me, I love that you want me as much as I want you." 

Slipping his finger back out of me I whimper at the empty feeling inside me now.  My panties join my skirt at my feet and he rolls down my stockings.  "I think I'll use these to tie you to my bed."  Picking me up and carrying me to his bed I sit up and remove my bra watching his eyes darken with lust as they sway when they are released.

"Lie down on your back and put your arms over your head babe."  He crawls up my body and is straddling my chest, leaning forward to tie my hands to the iron bedhead his cock is near my mouth.  Lifting my head up I lick the bead of fluid that is leaking from his shaft moaning at his raw musk smell and taste. 

I take him deeper into my mouth.  My hands are stretched high above my head as he starts to pump in and out of my mouth, closing my lips around him I suck hard as he reaches the back of my throat.

"Fuck Imogen, don't stop.  You look fucking fantastic with my cock deep in your throat."  His hand grips the base and starts to stroke himself while still moves slowly in and out of my mouth.  I feel him get harder and know he's about to come, so taking him deeper I run my tongue up the underside against the thick pulsing vein knowing this will finish him off.

"Shit.  I'm gonna come. God Ginny."  He starts spurting his thick load down my throat pulling back out slightly just so he could keep stroking himself.  My mouth is full and I swallow hard loving every drop of him.  I lie stretched out in front of him, he moves down my body.

“You look amazing laid out in front of me, Imogen.  Are you comfortable with me tying you up”
