Chapter 18

Carina

I got dressed to meet with Harrison later that Friday evening. I was anxious because I hadn’t seen him in what seemed like forever. I could hardly contain my nerves as I stood in front of the mirror and put on makeup. I wanted to look good, but I didn’t want to look like I was trying too hard. We were supposed to meet at a spot just outside of Chicago. I’d never been there before, but I assumed that it was because he didn’t want certain people to see us together. As much as I hated to admit it, the thought of sneaking around with him was kind of hot. It turned me on in more ways than one.

He texted me the address to The Lux and as soon as I got it, I was on my way to meet him. I was nervous like it was our first date together. I had so much to say to him and I hoped that I didn’t sound like a bumbling idiot whenever we finally got the chance to talk. Two weeks felt a lot longer than what it really was.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I sat in the parking lot for a few minutes, hoping to spot his car. Out of nowhere, there was a knock on my passenger side window and I screamed out loud and dropped my phone when I heard the noise. It was Harrison. Damn. He looks just as good as I remembered.

He walked to my side of the car and opened the door for me as I tried to calm my nerves. With his hand extended in my direction, he helped me out.

“So, you’re just going to scare my apologies out of me, huh?”

“I didn’t think you would react that way.”

“Well, I am in an unfamiliar spot and a knock on my window. That would be enough to scare me.”

He smiled as we stood in front of each other, silently. Without warning, he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around my body. I hugged him back and for the first time in weeks, I felt like I was protected. His strong arms held me tight and I felt that I could stay in that position for the rest of my life. He kissed me on the cheek, then released me. I wanted to feel his lips on mine, but maybe that was asking for too much, too soon. I was willing to take whatever he wanted to give me. He took me by the hand and led me into the restaurant.

The hostess directed us to a seat along the edge of the dining area. She smiled and handed us menus.

“Your server will be right with you,” she said. Her smile lingered in Harrison’s direction. I held my tongue and went through the menu to see what they had to offer.

“So, I guess you have asked me to come all the way out here so no one would see us.”

The smile on his face dropped slightly, “I just figured it was a bit safer.”

I watched the muscles in his bicep tense slightly. His white t-shirt fit his body like a glove and instantly reminded me of what I had been missing physically for the past couple of weeks.

“So, I guess I will get right to the point. I believe you didn’t know who I was before we met. It took me a little while to get to this point, but I see that your scenario is possible.”

He put his menu down and stared into my eyes. “I didn’t want to put you in danger. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to you, Carina. That’s why I couldn’t go through with it.” I could see the sincerity shining bright through his eyes. He continued, “I am sorry that you ended up in the middle of this, but I care for you. I care for you enough to not be the one to bring any charges against you.”

I looked down at his hand as he placed it on top of mine. I couldn’t help but to smile at his touch. But then the words he just said registered in my mind. “Charges against you.” As much as I was attracted to him, he was still a cop. A cop that was looking to arrest my family.

“So, now what?” I asked. “I mean, you still have a job to do, don’t you? You’re still coming after my family?”

The waiter came back to our table and silenced our conversation. He was a tall, light skinned male with a voice that was lighter than what we both expected.

“Are you two ready to order?” he asked with a small pad of paper and a pen in his hand.

“Give us a little more time,” Harrison responded. He smiled and walked away from our table as Harrison redirected his attention towards me. “I’ll just say that my job has taken an unexpected turn and I am no longer on that case.”

“You’re not?” I searched his eyes for the truth, and he looked straight at me.

“No. I was taken off because of my affection for you. My Captain believed I couldn’t do my job properly, so I was suspended for the time being.”

“Wow. I didn’t… wow.” A small knot formed in my stomach. As much as I wished for things to be easy with us, it all just seemed so difficult. Because of me, Harrison was now suspended from his job.

He flashed a smile in my direction. “It’s not on you, it’s on me. I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t be the one to come between you and your family. But I have to be honest with you Carina. Someone eventually will. They are building up their case on them with my information or not, and I am sure my Captain will have someone else undercover in the next few days, working a different way in.”

I bit my lip, and the knot grew bigger in my stomach. I always knew that something like this could eventually happen to my family. That was the reason I tried to stay out of it as much as I could. I was never able to convince them to not do what they did. And I always understood deep down that it was wrong. But they are my family. They are the people that raised me, and I still loved them.

“Harrison, I..” but he quickly cut me off.

“I know this is hard to take in,” Harrison said. “And I get it. They are your family. I never had that relationship with mine, but seeing how you feel about them, I now understand.”

I slowly nodded. I was thankful that he was understanding how conflicted about all of this I was.

“While I can’t help you get them out of what they did,” Harrison continued. “I will try my best to let you know what is going on. I care about you, and I want you to be safe. And if that means letting you know what is happening, then I am willing to risk everything to make that the case.”

I smiled at him bashfully. I couldn’t believe that he was willing to risk his job and his career just to keep me out of trouble. That said more than any word that he could have uttered to me.

“Harrison? I have sort of lost my appetite tonight.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, I mean, I still have it… but… I don’t want anything on this menu.” I looked at him and licked my lips and from there, it didn’t take long for him to pick up on what I was saying. With a smile, he leaned back in his seat, nodding his head towards me.

We walked into my house and his lips crashed into mine. His strong arms wrapped tightly around me as we both wrestled out of our clothes. I laughed as I stumbled through my front room, nearly falling onto my face and I would have if Harrison wasn’t there to keep me upright. He smiled and right after, our lips reconnected as we bumped into walls, knocking pictures to the floor on our way to my room.

When we made it inside, I pushed him away from me. We stood as if we were facing off with each other and as his eyes glared at me, I removed my blouse and let it slide to the floor. My skirt followed right behind and after that, I stepped closer to him. My breast pressed against his body as I stood up and planted my lips onto his. He put his arms around me and danced his tongue around in my mouth. I backed him into the couch and lifted his shirt over his head while I kissed him on the lips. He wrestled with the buckle on his pants until it finally unbuckled and fell to the ground. My breathing intensified because I was waiting for this moment ever since the last time he entered me. Suddenly, he picked me up and sat me on his lap as he ran his hands up my back and loosened my bra strap.

I leaned forward and kissed him on his neck as his hands firmly gripped my backside. I grinded on top of him. He finally loosened my bra, exposing my round breasts and erect nipples. He licked his tongue around their firmness as I squirmed. The sensation sent chills over my body before he engulfed my breasts inside of his mouth.

I reached my hands into his pants until I wrestled his cock free from its cage and without warning, I stood up from his lap and slid my mouth around it. Harrison leaned back as I licked the shaft and massaged his balls with the other hand.

“Yes,” he moaned in a voice that was barely audible as I slid his cock completely inside my mouth. The tip of it brushed against the back of my throat until I pulled the saliva covered penis out of my mouth.

I licked the shaft and wrapped my hand around it as he stood up and grabbed me by the waist. He leaned back onto the couch while he coaxed my head down to his waist, and my hips towards his face. As I leaned down on him he planted his mouth right onto my clit as I slid my mouth back around his cock. I dug my nails into his thighs as he brushed his tongue over my clit and sent a thunderous vibration through my legs until a rush of waves moved throughout my body.

He massaged my clit with his tongue and held me in place for minutes before he pushed his fingers gently inside me. I continue to run my tongue down his shaft as I moaned slightly. I pushed my hips back harder onto his face as he brought me closer to the edge. I pulled his cock out of my mouth and ran my hand down it as I let loud moans escape my lips. When I stopped, he lifted me up and leaned my back against the couch, and he leaned his body over mine. He lifted my arms up and pinned them back by my head. His chest flexed with muscles each time he thrusted inside of me.

“Yes, Harrison. Yes,” I moaned, pushing him deeper inside of me. He pushed his lips against mine and twirled his tongue around in my mouth as I gripped my legs around his waist.

“Don’t stop,” I said in a breath, “I’m coming again.” My legs shook vigorously each time he moved in and out of me.

“Wait a minute,” he said as he pulled out of me and moved down to my core. “I want to taste it again.” He slid down to my waist and flicked his tongue on my clit as I put my hands on the back of his head. My legs tremored as he moved his tongue quickly over me.

I felt the pressure build up again as I was pushed over the edge. My legs squeezing around his neck as my entire body shook. After that, he flipped me over and climbed on top of me like a lion pouncing on its prey. He took one leg and held it up as he thrusted himself into me without remorse. My mouth hung open as if I wanted to scream but couldn’t get the sound to leave my throat. He pounded me from behind as he grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked it towards him. I pounded on the couch cushion as pain mixed perfectly with pleasure. He smacked my ass with so much force that I felt the sting for minutes after he hit it. He pushed himself deeper inside of me as he came again and with that, I yelled out loud.

He shoved my head into a pillow to muffle my screams. His cock was bigger than I remembered as he bent me over from behind and spread my cheeks as far as they would go. I smacked the cushion with an open hand as he held my waist steady and thrusted himself inside of me. I felt him spill inside me as I fell into my own ecstasy. Soon after, he plopped down onto the couch beside me, breathing heavy like he had just run a mile. It felt like we both did.

After we finished, we both laid naked on top of the couch with all the cushions and throw pillows scattered everywhere.

One way or the other, we were going to make this work out between us. I was sure of that.
