The Hunt for Summer (NSC Industries) (31 page)

He turned, kissed my
cheek and made his way to the elevator. “8 O’clock, little Willow.”

We stood still as
Todd regained his composure and I smiled apologetically at him “I… uhh, he’s a
good friend. But I don’t know how…?”

He shook his head “I
deserved that I suppose.”

Oh.

We made our way
across to the deli and purchased tea whilst they prepared my boss’s order.

Todd gestured to a
small table and we sat, both of us sipping our drinks while he plucked up the
courage to say what he needed to say.

Eventually he
reached into his messenger bag and pulled out a large brown envelope and handed
it to me.

“My Mum asked me to
give you these. They’re… Ry’s stuff she knew he would want you to have.”

I couldn’t help it,
I frowned in confusion and Todd gave me a sad smile.

“The funeral. I was
angry and hurting and looking for someone to blame, and there you were. But
that doesn’t condone what I did and I’m so very sorry, Kay.”

I nodded in
understanding. I was always there when someone wanted to take a hit.

“Anyway,” he
continued as he looked at me painfully “I just wanted to apologise really.”

He looked away,
grief, anguish and devastation controlling his features and my heart went out
to him. “He was my little bro, Kay. I loved him but, if I’m truthful, I hated
you because you took him from me.”

I searched his eyes.
Bitterness was there, but his anger was not, just resignation really and I
gulped back my tears.

“I never stole him,
Todd. He was always your brother, whatever I was to him. I’m not gonna lie to
you, you hurt him when you refused to have anything to do with him but…”

It was my turn to
look away now, frantically trying to control the threat of tears. “But… Ry
would want me to explain something to you.”

He lifted his gaze
and studied me intently, his eyes roaming over each of my facial features
before they slipped down and perused my neck.

“This doesn’t excuse
what happened and it doesn’t help either of us as to why Ry took the verdict
for me…”

Todd looked up at
me, the words he knew but had never heard before, encouraged his intent to sort
things out between us.

He nodded firmly and
I slipped my hand across the table and rested it over his “He took the verdict
because I saved his life, twice.”

Todd’s eyes widened
as he stared at me and I smiled softly.

“A year after we got
married, Ry kind of went on a downhill slope. He got into drugs bad, real bad.
Dunno why, just one of those things and he started sleeping with random’s,
didn’t come home and then started building a killer drug debt to some deep shit
men.”

A shiver racked
through me at the memories, but it was over now and it needed to be said and
thrown out in the open. “They were gonna kill him. They came to our house one
night, guns hanging, knives wielded and pinned Ry to the floor.” I closed my
eyes to the pain but Todd slipped his hand over mine and squeezed.

“They gave him a
choice. Die or… or give up a night with the little wifey.”

Todd reared back a
little and a whimper left his throat at my confession “Oh Christ, Kay.”

I shook my head and
smiled. “Ry, of course wouldn’t let them, he begged them to kill him there and
then instead of make me go through that, but I just kinda zoned out, took hold
of the gun and walked out with them. I loved your brother that much, Todd.”

He squeezed his eyes
shut. “I was 17 Todd, 17. They were nice enough; didn’t take me horribly or
anything but Ry never ever forgave himself for it and that’s what eventually
broke our marriage down.”

He nodded and turned
my hand over so he could thread his fingers through mine, both of us
channelling our grief and support to each other.

“The second time was
when he took the blame for Tony. Yes, I had got involved with a maniac and yes,
Ry was protecting me. He punched Tony for battering me to within an inch of my
life. Tony set on Ry, really bloody pummelled him and I knew he was gonna kill
him so I... Well, you know the rest.”

“I’m sorry, Kay. I
always knew how deep your love went for each other but I was a prick, still am
really, but I’d really like for Ry’s benefit if we could… if we can well, keep
in touch really?”

I nodded and smiled
“I’d like that but not for Ry’s benefit, for ours. Family and all that, Todd.”

He grinned and
nodded.

“I better get back
before my boss starts eating his hair gel.”

He laughed and then pulled
me into an awkward hug then bent and kissed my cheek. “I’ll be in touch.”

I nodded and watched
his back retreat, feeling a small weight lift from my shoulders.

Now just Lucas and
Sara to bear me down.

Sara was still
acting utterly strange, her mood swings were volatile, she hadn’t seen Rob for
weeks and all she did was sleep. I was really growing concerned for her but so
far she had refused to talk and there was nothing I could do to help until she
relented and opened up. But I was determined she would finally give in and tell
me, even if it killed her.

Chapter 36

Lucas

I was pissed again.
For the fourth time since I had come back from Hawaii.

I thought the
holiday would help me to move on but all I had done was see Red everywhere I
looked on the bloody island.

She was on the
beach, in the restaurants, in the bars and clubs and finally in my bed. My many
wanks had been accompanied by Red. Her mouth around me, her under me blinking
as I pushed into her, her tied and bound as I fucked her hard and rough and it
was killing me.

The only way to push
her out had been to get roaring drunk, slaughtered, absolutely and completely.

I pushed open the
door to The Panther, determined to this time fuck a random bitch, even if it
killed me.

My blurry eyes scanned
the room and met Red’s immediately as she sat with Mason and Ava at the end of
the bar.

Mason caught Red’s
expression and twisted round to see me glaring at the beauty that refused to
release me.

I stumbled up to the
bar and grinned at Owen “Whisky, neat.”

He nodded and poured
my measure as Hilary from reception approached Mason. She leant into him and
said something. He nodded and smiled then turned to Ava “Ready, baby?”

She clapped her
hands excitedly and Mason laughed loudly then turned to Red. “You wanna join us,
Red. Got the room to ourselves.”

She grinned
wickedly. “You sure?”

He scowled at her
“Yeah, of course. You’re just as intrigued as we are.”

She beamed widely at
him.

What the fuck? Was
she joining them for a threesome?

Fuck!

I watched them make
their way up the stairs towards the rooms and I scowled when Red never turned
around to look at me.

I tilted my chin to
Owen. “Where are they off to?”

Owen just shrugged
at me, unable to disclose any private information.

I shrugged back,
downed my drink and followed them.

I reached the top of
the stairs and scanned both ways before deciding to head left towards the play
rooms.

Each room held a
window and I peered in, taking in the many arses, tits and cunts as I
proceeded. As I turned the corner I saw the back of Red moving through a door,
giggling with Ava as she closed the door behind her.

No way, no bloody
way was I standing back and letting this happen.

Enough.

I made my way
quietly across the hall and gave it a few minutes before I slid down the handle
and walked straight in.

“Oh.” Red stated and
Mason narrowed his eyes on me. Ava’s were on Red, watching her reaction to me
being there.

I scanned the room
and frowned when all it held were a few large comfy chairs and a sofa.

What the hell was
this room?

Then I spotted the
large window on one wall and it all clicked into place. They had come to view
‘The God’.

Well fuck me.

I wasn’t missing out
on this opportunity, so I made my way further into the room and settled into
the chair beside Red.

“Would you like to
join us, Lucas?” Mason asked and I grinned at him.

“Cheers, yeah.”

He snorted as Red
huffed and I didn’t acknowledge to myself how much her bluster of annoyance got
to me.

Ava giggled
excitedly as the window exploded into life as The God, three women and a bloke
entered and even I got excited at the sight of them, knowing this was gonna be
better than watching one of my many porn DVD’s.

The action started
immediately as God stood and two women dropped to their knees before him and
unzipped him.

Good God, he was
huge. Resting against the thigh huge, and I heard Red gasp slightly then shift
in her seat as one woman took him in her mouth as far as she could, another
woman wrapped her tongue around the remainder of his shaft.

Ava groaned a little
and Red snorted. “If you two are gonna start humping, I’m outta here.”

Mason laughed then
looked past Ava to her. “We’ll let you watch, little Willow. Ava has a thing
about being watched.”

Red regarded them
then shook her head in humour. “I don’t mind listening but please don’t make me
watch.”

“You’re just jealous,
Lay.” Mason scoffed and Ava laughed.

“Leave her alone”
she defended and punched him lightly in the arm.

I switched my
attention back to the action. The two women were still taking him into their
mouths but now the third was on her hands and knees beside him, a black haired
guy’s cock in her mouth as God finger fucked her arse.

Christ. I thought I ought
to leave, get out of there before it became too difficult to stand, but I just
couldn’t tear my eyes away from the exploit.

Everyone shifted.
God lay on the floor as one woman sat on his huge dick and I wondered how the
hell she accommodated him. One woman sat on his face and the other got on her
knees by his head as black hair fucked her ass and God fingered her pussy.

My dick was
throbbing painfully. I had not had a shag in weeks and it was becoming quite
torturous watching this liaison.

I closed my eyes and
groaned internally when the action started in our room. Ava’s moans were quite
loud and I noticed Red squirm in her seat.

She swallowed and I
heard the gulp as it went down. “I’m gonna leave you guys to it” she whispered
into the dim room but didn’t look at them.

She stood and pulled
open the door.

I was on her arse,
frantically pushing her against the corridor wall as I reached her.

She melted under me,
her tongue colliding with mine as both our lusts dominated us.

She was suddenly
pulling at my belt and almost immediately freed my raging hard on.

“Fuck, Red. I need
to bury myself in you.”

She moaned and
grabbed my hair as I pushed her skirt up around her waist and lifted her legs
until she wrapped them around me.

Pulling her knickers
to the side I didn’t waste any more time. I was inside her in a heartbeat.

We both groaned
loudly and I realised we were in the fucking corridor, fucking hard and loud
against the wall.

To be honest I
didn’t bloody care.

I needed this woman
so fucking entirely I felt the buzz in my brain.

“God, always so
fucking good” I murmured as I slammed into her.

Her hands yanked my
head forward as she kissed me as hard as I fucked her.

“Harder, Lucas. Fuck
me harder” she mumbled and I groaned as I rested my head on her shoulder and
gave her what she asked for, my hips pounding against her, as I took her so
fucking hard I felt the inside of her womb.

“Oh, I’ll fuck you
hard, Red. I’ll fuck you so damn hard you’ll still feel me inside you next week”
I growled as I banged her even fiercer.
