ROCKSTAR
BOOK – 4
Chapter 1
The message was there and then suddenly it vanished into a jumble of letters. There was no real proof that it happened at all, except the Judson had seen it and now he was wide awake with no idea how he was going to close his eyes.
“If you think for a second that I’m done with you, then you are stupider than you look. You may have stopped me for the moment, but expect the next time that I take a more personal approach. Never let somebody else do for you, when you can do for yourself. If I want something done right, then I’m going to have to get my own hands dirty I will be in touch if you don’t do what I say, then you’re lady love will suffer the consequences.” These were the words that he had seen and was now running around in his mind all night long. He wasn’t sure what to tell Samantha.
There was no way that he could possibly get any sleep and there were times during the night that he was pacing the floor trying to come up with something that would make all this go away. He still had no idea who was after him, but he was getting the sinking suspicion that maybe this wasn’t what it appeared to be. They had thought that this was some kind of stalker, but hearing the words of the assailant had made him believe that they weren’t really grasping why this was happening.
“Don’t tell me that you’ve been awake all of this time. I know that it has been hard on you, but you have to take some solace in the fact that the man has been dealt with. They’re only keeping us here, as a precaution and there’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that the danger is over.” “I don’t know why he’s worrying and I can see the angst on his face. He wants to tell me something, but he’s not sure how to say it. Maybe he’s ready to finally admit that he has fallen in love for the first time in his life. I want to hear those words. He has come, so close and it was right there at the tip of his tongue. He has already told me that he cares for me deeply, but I haven’t really heard him say that he was in love. I know that he’s scared, but he’s not the only one.”
Samantha got up with the sheet around her body, making sure to hide her shame from those that might be able to see through the curtains at this early hour. She was aware that there were perverts amongst them and they would have no problem using a high powered pair of binoculars or even a telescope to creep into her personal life.
Judson was wearing a pair of boxer shorts that had this very intricate pattern of red lipstick. It was a valentine’s gift that he had gotten from an old flame. He had no idea of the reason why he kept them, except that he kind of found them cute and very much a conversation piece. “I know all that and I wish that I could get this feeling out of my head, but I don’t think that it’s over. I want to believe that it is, but everything that I have learned has been to the contrary. The man spoke of doing this for money and I think that somebody has been pulling the strings all along. I don’t exactly know what to do, except to continue to live my life, as normally as possible.” Judson was that close to telling her what the text message had said, but he had no idea if the walls had ears.
Judson really wanted to keep her out of this, but so far that had been an effort in futility. Every time that they turned around, they were in danger and that had turned them into wild animals in the sack. The feel of her skin and the touch of her lips on his body had made him yearn for something that he had never thought possible. He wanted that white picket fence and those two kids running around in the yard with gleeful expressions on their faces. He always thought that being a bachelor was better than being tied down, but now he was rethinking his position.
“There has to be a reason why you are saying this. I know that we don’t have all the answers and maybe we never will. The person that came after you with that assassin has to know by now that he has failed. You never know, he might tuck his tail between his legs and leave without causing any more mischief.” I want to believe that, but the look in his eyes tells me that he knows something that he doesn’t want to tell me. I wish that he could trust me, but maybe it has nothing to do with trust. It’s possible that he’s trying to protect me. I’m getting a little sick and tired of having somebody thinking that they can look after me better than I can look after myself. Being stabbed and almost killed in the hospital after has certainly given me a thicker skin.”
She wrapped her hands around Judson’s midsection, feeling the muscular formation of his abdominals and tracing each individual one with a gasp of approval coming from her lips. She got her hand into his boxers to find that the sleeping snake had not awakened with the rest of his body. Even her agile fingers stroking his length did not make his flag salute. There was definitely something going on and it was about time that she threw back the curtain and made him look at her differently.
“I know how hard this might be to believe, but I’m really not in the mood. I can’t just turn it off and on like a light switch whenever you feel the need to grab onto any part of my body.” He was being a bit defensive, but Samantha had compounded the issue with her oversexed libido out of control.
“I know that something is wrong and I’m not letting you leave here, until you tell me exactly what’s going on. Stop treating me like I’m fragile or that I’m going to break every time that you turn around. I think that I’ve already proven that I’m tougher than I look and maybe you should top treating me like I’m a doll that you have to put in the closet to protect me.” I really did love him, but he was going to have to start treating me with more respect. We were in this together and he was going to have to learn that having me with him was better than not having me with him.” Samantha’s hand was still around him, but this time it had nothing to do with sexual. It was more of a comforting gesture to let him know that she wasn’t going anywhere.
“You’re definitely one girl that doesn’t take no for an answer. You are tenacious, stubborn and there are times that I can’t believe that I’ve fallen in love with you.” He had said the words, but this time this was not a knee jerk reaction. This is something that he really did believe deep down in his heart third “God help me, but I think that I found the woman that I want to be by my side in all the trials that I face. It’s going to come, as a bit of a shock to those I have slept with in the past. They won’t believe that I’m finally ready to settle down. They’ll most likely still keep throwing themselves at me, even if they do see a ring on my finger.”
“I have no delusions that you will have that effect on them. I know that you won’t stray, because you have found something to fight for. I’ll know that you can look, but after everything that is said and done, you’ll be coming home to me. If you are really serious about making this work, then we need to be completely honest with each other and not hold anything back.” “This was his opening and I was waiting with bated breath to see if he was going to walk through that door willingly. If he didn’t, I would pull him through it and make him see me, as somebody that could be relied on in moments of great stress.”
“I’ve been trying to keep this from you, but you are determined not to let me have any secrets. I know that this isn’t over, because I got a message last night on my phone that was not very pleasant.” Judson opened up his mouth and out came the full extent of what they were dealing with. He did feel a lot better after talking it out with Samantha. Having somebody to talk to was better than letting it fester inside, until it became something ugly. He couldn’t believe that he had actually trusted her, but with everything that they had gone through, it was a wonder that they didn’t admit their feelings sooner.
“It’s only a threat and right now we have police protection and we should take every advantage of that. Let them know that you’re still worried. I get this feeling that this might have something to do with the big game tonight. I think that somebody wants you to pull back and not do the impossible on that field. If I don’t miss my guess, I would say that your next phone call will be to tell you to do exactly that or face the consequences. It’s going to be a little more difficult for them to follow through on their threat with the police standing in between them and me.” I didn’t want to tell him that I was shaking on the inside, but on the outside I was projecting an air of confidence that I really didn’t feel. I knew that I shouldn’t be afraid and that the police would take care of me, but I had this feeling that wasn’t going to be enough.
“I think that you might be right and if it comes down to that, then I will have no choice, but to throw the game. I may have a lot riding on this and my team is counting on me, but you mean more to me than some game. I just don’t know how to be something that I’m not. The coach will see right through me and know that there’s something wrong. I can only hope that that phone call doesn’t come. I will do what you say. I’ll tell the police that I’m worried. That’s definitely not going to be a lie.” With the weight of the secret off his shoulders, his manhood had begun to show some signs of life. He was semi erect and growing rapidly.
“It appears that getting this off your chest was a good thing. I can think of something that we can do for a couple of hours that will get your mind off of this. I’m going to take a shower. I don’t know if you want to join me, but I think that I can make it worth your while.” Unashamed, she dropped the sheet. Walking towards the bathroom, she glanced over her shoulders to see that his mouth was wide open and he was staring at her like there was nothing that he would want to do other than to join her. “I’m sure that there’s more than enough hot water for the both of us. If you scrub my back, I’ll be happy to scrub whatever you want me to scrub.” She was a little bit bolder. With everything that had happened up to this point, she was feeling a little like a new version of herself.
“You do strike a hard bargain and I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t take those beautiful moments and turn them into something more. I don’t know where you came from, Samantha, but I have to say that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You’re even better than getting that contract.” Judson stripped off his boxer shorts, showing his healthy appendage pointing like a divining rod to where it wanted to go. He shrugged off those boxers and left them lying there on the floor with the sheet that allowed him to see her in all her naked Glory.
“I do believe that you see something that you like. You are obviously a man that knows what he wants. I suggest that you stop thinking about something that you can’t control and do something about something that you can control.” She slapped her ass making this resounding crack that had her wondering where this woman had come from. “I have never been this open in my life and it feels kind of liberating to allow myself to emerge from my shell. I have him to thank for it, but there were several pieces on the puzzle board that had to fall into the right place. I’ve always shied away from life, not realizing that I only have this one to live. I can’t allow any more time to be wasted, especially when I have a man like Judson. He needs to know that I can be unpredictable and not just go through the motions.”
“I’m going to get you, Samantha. I’m going to make you scream my name, so loud that the police officers outside protecting us will think that I’m killing you. I don’t even care if they come in and get embarrassed by seeing us doing something that would be considered illegal in some states.” He was feeling better and was about to feel a whole lot better than that. He stepped into the bathroom with the steam swirling around him. He knew the object of his desire was right there in reach.
