Chapter Nine
When Caleb had gotten the call about what Faith had done, he’d been pissed. He’d immediately turned around, found her, and was going to force her back to their hotel room. Once she pulled the gun on him, however, something changed.
He realized that he couldn’t keep her contained where he wanted. That’s not what he wanted for either of them. He didn’t know what was going on between the two of them. They were fucking and he enjoyed her company, but there was something else.
“Please, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
He stared at the man he had tied to a chair. Caleb liked tying men to chairs. It kept them … grounded. He could circle them and think. Only right now he wasn’t thinking about the million different ways he could hurt this man.
His thoughts were on his black-haired woman, Faith.
She didn’t have a problem with what he did.
There had been more than one occasion when he’d returned home covered in blood, or having to clean up some mess. She rarely asked questions, and helped him clean up.
Faith was different.
She’d seen the monster inside him, or at least what he’d done, and she’d not run away.
Her own father had used her as a tool to get out of paying a debt. What the hell was he doing with her?
Caleb wasn’t using her to pay off a debt.
He liked having her around, even if their age gap made him a little uncomfortable. Still, no woman had made him ache or wish to be back in bed with her.
Faith was the one of a kind woman for him.
“Boss?” one of his security detail said.
“What?”
“Have you made a decision yet?” He pointed at the dirty rat.
Caleb looked at the man, who’d already pissed himself.
He was bored with this.
There wasn’t anything more to be gained out of hurting him. They had all the information, and all he wanted to do was be with Faith. He’d upset her, and instead of going back inside, he’d come to do his job.
Pulling on the large glove, he grabbed the knife, and plunged it into the man’s neck while also staring into his eyes. He held the blade in deep, waiting until he died.
Once that was done, he removed the glove from his hand and stepped back.
Even though blood spilled from the wound, not one drop had made its way onto his clothing.
He nodded. “Clean this mess up.”
Leaving the room of the gym, he made his way out to the car and fired up his cell phone. Beast answered on the second ring.
“You’re done already.”
“Yes. He’s gone. I’ve also got the briefcase full of files. He kept tabs on our bribes for years.”
“And you have every single bit of information.”
“From him I do. I think we need to send a message out to the men we pay. We won’t hesitate to kill if they provoke us,” Caleb said. “I’m happy to organize it when I get back.”
“Are you okay, brother?”
“I’m more than fine, Beast. I got the job done, didn’t I?”
“You didn’t play?”
“No. I didn’t. I’ve got things I need to do. Make sure you have a list of the men on our payroll when I return. I’ll pay them a visit and make sure no one tries to sell our secrets.” With that, he hung up and tossed his cell phone onto the seat beside him.
He didn’t waste any time in parking the car and heading inside.
Nodding at a few of his security detail, he entered the bar, which had a lot more people in it now. He’d been gone a couple of hours, and he didn’t like that a guy was talking to Faith as he entered.
Walking up behind her, he was in time to hear her laugh.
When he wrapped an arm around her waist, Faith gasped and glanced up at him. “You’re back already.”
“That I am.” He stared at her friend. “You are?”
“This is just Wayne. He was being polite.”
“Good. I’m here now. Thank you for keeping an eye on my woman.” He took her hand and led her onto the dance floor.
“That wasn’t very nice,” she said.
“I’ve got news for you, baby. I’m not a nice guy.”
She chuckled, her arms going around his neck. “I know.”
“Do you like me like that?” he asked.
“I don’t know. I think I prefer all of your bad guy tendencies to be directed elsewhere. Did you get done what you needed to do?” she asked.
“Yes. Everything is done.”
She stared into his eyes, and he didn’t look away. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Faith teased the hair at the back of his neck. “You lie quite easily.”
“There’s nothing to report, babe.” He ran his hand down her back, gripping her ass. “I don’t like you in jeans.”
“What do you like me in?” she asked.
“Skirts, dresses, nothing. I like anything that makes it easier for me to touch you.” He rested his face against her neck, breathing in her scent. “You smell so good.”
“I don’t think you’d have appreciated me coming here naked.”
“No, you’re right. No one else gets to see what belongs to me, and you do belong to me, Faith. You’re all mine.”
She pulled away, and he stared into her green eyes. “I wasn’t flirting with him.”
“I know.”
“I’m pleased you came in when you did. He was kind of boring, and I love to people watch.”
“You do?”
She chuckled. “Why do you look so surprised?”
“You’ve been at my place for so long. Anne told me you weren’t into shopping.”
Faith wrinkled her nose. “First, I hate shopping for anything. I find it boring and dull. Secondly, I love watching people. You can make up stories or just be curious about what people are thinking about.”
He spun her around so that she was facing people. “I’m intrigued.”
“What do you see when you look at people?”
Staring straight ahead, he saw a tall man. “One punch in the gut and he’d easily go down.”
“We’re not talking in a fight.”
“How about you do what you think you’re doing and I’ll listen?”
He was sure she rolled her eyes.
“That table in the corner. It has two men and two women. Now, the guy with the blond hair keeps looking at the redhead like he wants to eat her, and the brunette at his side is giving her deadly looks. They’re so having an affair, or they’re having a four-way.”
“This is lame,” he said.
“A lot of people do this, and it’s fun. That guy there is having an affair with his dog’s groomer. She’s totally screwing her kid’s teacher.”
This time he just laughed. “You’re a weird one.”
“They’re just stories, and they pass the time.” This time she turned in his arms. “I was waiting for you.”
“When I look at people I find them boring,” he said. “I don’t care what story they have to tell or even if it’s any good.”
“What do you care about then?”
“You.”
She gasped.
They didn’t say anything, and he gripped her ass, pulling her close. “When you’re in the room, Faith, you’re the only person I care about. Everyone else can go and get fucked.” He squeezed her ass and rubbed his cock against her stomach. “Do you hate me now?”
She shook her head. “I really like your answer. Do you hate me?”
“For what?”
“Pulling a gun on you.”
“I don’t hate you, but I know what you can do to make it all better.”

Faith collapsed to the bed completely naked as Caleb gripped her hips. She gasped as he spread her open and his cock lay against her pussy. Closing her eyes, she bit her lip as the tip of his dick began to probe her pussy. At the same time, he moved down to her ass, spreading the cheeks wide.
“All I can think about when I’m with you is how good you’re going to feel on my dick.” With that he slammed deep inside her, making her moan. The hands on her ass moved around, and he touched her pussy, stroking her clit. “I want you to come all over my cock.” He rubbed her nub, and she cried out.
All too soon, he released her and spun her around on the bed, spreading her legs and plunging his cock back inside her. She wrapped her legs around his waist, moaning as his fingers touched her pussy once again.
“I’m so indecisive tonight,” he said, pulling out of her again.
She released a whimper. “Please, I need to come.”
“I want to taste you.” He lifted her hips, and she gasped as his mouth was poised just above her pussy. “If you want I can stop.”
“No, don’t you dare.” She cried out as his tongue attacked her clit. Gripping the sheets beneath her fist, she moaned as he kept working her nub. He circled the bud then slid down to plunge inside her before pulling back and teasing her some more.
She was so close.
Caleb wasn’t done with her yet. He had her at the edge, about to hurtle over the peak, but once again he stopped, lowering her down onto the bed.
She felt like she was going crazy, the need consuming her body, making her ache all over.
“Please,” she said, not ashamed of begging him.
He thrust inside her, his cock feeling like a dream to her heated flesh.
Caleb stroked her pussy, and this time he didn’t stop. When she found that peak, he threw her over the edge as at the same time, he fucked her hard, consuming her with need.
When she finally came down from her orgasm she realized that Caleb was still very much rock-hard inside her.
Opening her eyes, she stared at him, confused.
“There’s something that I want,” he said.
“Okay.”
He pulled out of her pussy and moved her so that she was on her knees.
Caleb pressed a kiss against her neck as he found her entrance and plunged inside. “I want to own every single inch of you,” he said.
“Okay.” She felt like a broken record, repeating herself.
His hand traced down her back, going to her ass, and he ran his finger across her anus. “I want to fuck your ass, Faith.”
She trusted him more than anyone else in the world. Reaching behind herself, she grabbed her ass cheeks and spread them. “I’m yours, Caleb. You can take what you want. I belong to you.”
“You have no idea how fucking hot that is right now.”
His fingers stroked across her anus, and she closed her eyes, enjoying his touch. Caleb used some of her release to smear across her ass. His cock slid inside her, and they both moaned. He didn’t stay there though.
He pulled out, and the tip of his cock pressed against her anus. She tensed up, and he stroked her back.
“You need to relax.”
She didn’t think it was possible to relax with a man trying to fuck her ass. For a second, she truly thought it was a bad idea. Then he pushed past the tight ring of muscles that were keeping him out, and she really thought she’d made a mistake.
When he stroked between her thighs and began to tease her clit, however, something changed. She began to feel the rising need for another orgasm, which totally took away the brief shot of pain as he worked every single inch of his cock inside her ass.
“I’ve got you, baby. You’ve got all of me now.”
He didn’t stop stroking her clit.
Caleb worked her ass, pushing in and out at the same time, he teased her, bringing her closer to another orgasm. It wasn’t long before she began to thrust toward him, begging for more, not wanting him to stop.
She whimpered as the hand on her hip tightened even more, but it wasn’t down to the brief feeling of being completely taken. It was so much more.
Caleb had completely shattered her entire world.
Not only did he possess her, own her body, her heart was also his, and she couldn’t keep denying it.
She didn’t believe love existed, but right now, with his cock balls deep inside her ass, she couldn’t deny that when it came to Caleb, she wanted everything, and that scared her a little.
He teased her toward an orgasm, and as she went over that edge into mind-consuming pleasure, she cried his name, hearing him call hers. His cock pulsed inside her, filling her ass with his cum.
When it was all over, they both collapsed to the bed, panting. His arms wrapped around her, and his breath fanned across her neck.
“You’re amazing, Faith,” he said.
“You’re not too bad yourself.” She didn’t want him to know that she was reeling from her own revelations. She didn’t know what to think right now as everything just seemed to be too much. If she loved Caleb, then she was doomed. He didn’t do love, and it would only be a matter of time before she got her heart broken.
He was one of the sweetest guys she’d ever known, and kinky as well. She knew it was completely stupid to think of him as sweet when he was, in fact, a killer.
Faith wasn’t stupid though.
She knew how the world worked.
There were good men.
Bad men.
Corrupt men.
When it came to Caleb though, he was a monster that did bad things to people, but to her, he was so sweet.
He kissed her neck, drawing her out of her thoughts. “Stay here.” He pulled out of her ass, and she gave a little wince. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” He kissed her again, and she turned her head, watching as he entered the bathroom.
Seconds later she heard the sound of water running, and he returned. “What are you doing?”
He lifted her up in his arms, surprising her with his strength.
“It’s time for a bath.” He claimed her lips, and she wrapped an arm around his neck, holding on as he carried her toward the bathroom. “I’m going to take care of you.”
He lowered her into the bath, climbing in behind her and pulling her close so that her back rested against him. “Do you always clean up your women?”
“I always clean up the good girls that hold their ass open for me. You’re really something else, babe.” He kissed her neck.
She waited as he reached for the soap and began to lather up the sponge.
“You’re very quiet,” he said, working the sponge over her body.
“I’m fine. I’m just basking in what we just shared.”
“I hope I wasn’t too rough with you.”
“No. It was perfect.” She tilted her head back and smiled at him.
He cupped her cheek, running his thumb across her lip. “You’re really something else.”
He didn’t say anything more but continued to soap her body. When he went to rinse it out, she took it from him and spun around, taking care of his body.
“You look like you’re enjoying that a little too much.”
“Maybe I am,” she said with a smile.
“I like that you smile more.”
“What?”
“When I first met you, you always looked so sad.” He reached out, cupping her cheek. When she was with him it was like her scar didn’t exist. At least, he didn’t seem to see it with her. “I don’t like to see you sad.”
“You give me a lot to smile about, Caleb.”
“Are you happy, Faith?” he asked.
His question took her by surprise. “Yes, I’m very happy. Are you?”
She loved his wicked smile. “I’ve never been happier than I am right now.”
“Good.”
Faith intended to keep him that way. Soaping up his body, she felt possessive of him, and for the first time ever, she didn’t want to give him back.
Caleb was hers, and she intended to keep him.
