Page 22 of Bastain

“She didn’t care that I was her niece. The only thing that she cared about was getting the money for her shop. And now you own it. I wonder what she’ll do to you now that she understands that you’re going to sell everything that she had.” He promised her again that she’d not get to her. “I don’t mean me. I was talking about you. She’ll stop at nothing to get back at you since she won’t be able to find Uncle Mark.”

“She can try.” Nodding again, she wondered how badly she’d try to hurt Bastain. Looking at his face, she could tell that he was upset about the entire thing. Just as she was going to tell him that she didn’t want him hurt, he spoke first. “I’d rather it be me than you any day of the week. You’ve been through enough.”

“I’d rather it not be either one of us.” He told her that he was going to be able to bring all this up in court. “And what will that do? I seriously think that she’s been getting away with things for so long, she’s not going to take no for an answer. Then what will you do?”

“She’ll be in prison for a long time. The murder of those three people will be enough to keep her in for at least twenty or so years. The other things will just add to it.” Again, she didn’t think it was going to work out that way because she’d been getting away with it for so long. “I will work the system to our advantage. I promise you with all that I am, she’ll never be able to get to you again. I’ll protect you with my life.”

“But who will protect you? I’m in a cast. Or a half-cast now, and I can’t get around too well yet.” He said that she wasn’t getting out anytime too soon. “You keep saying that. But look what she’s done since she’s been a child and gotten away with it. Even her own parents paid for her not getting her way. Hell, my own mother was terrified of her. That’s not right.”

“No, it’s not. But I know how to keep her inside. I’m a good attorney who will make sure she pays for what she’s done.” It wasn’t that she believed he wasn’t a good attorney, but just reading about her aunt had given her the shivers. A baseball bat seemed to be her weapon of choice, and she used it well. She couldn’t seem to wrap her head around her aunt and what she was planning to do to her. “I can find another attorney if that would make you feel better. Dayton and I have been working on this case for weeks now, and we have enough information on her to keep her there for decades. I’m only counting on a couple of them because I don’t want to get my hopes up too far. But we’ll keep her away from you for the time being. She’s in prison and causing trouble there, too.”

“So I was told. And no, I don’t want to have to find someone else to take over this case. I believe that you and Dayton will do a good job, but I’m afraid that she’ll still get away with it. She has all her life.” Bastain pulled her up out of the chair she’d been sitting in and onto his lap. At first, she didn’t want to be there, but when his erection made itself known to her, she stilled. “What are you doing to me?”

“Distracting you. It’s working, isn’t it?” Trin nodded. “I’ve been thinking about holding you for weeks now. Not only holding you but making you mine.”

“We’ve never talked about sex before. I mean, I know that you want me, but I didn’t know how badly.” He told her that he wanted her badly. “I don’t know what to say.”

“Say to me that you think about me that way as well.” She laid her head on his shoulder and thought about having sex with him. “Trinity, I’m in love with you. I don’t think I’ve ever been in love with anyone in my life as much as I love you.”

“I like you now, but I’ve never been in love before either. I have nothing to compare you with, but my mom, and that’s not right.” He laughed a little, and she sat up and looked at him. “You didn’t laugh much before I came into your life, either. Abbott told me that. He said that he can tell this is true love because of the way I make you light up. Is that true?”

“You make me feel so good about everything in my life.” She laid her head back down, thinking about what he was saying to her. “You’re the only woman who is for me. I was terrible to you at first, and I’m sorry about that. But since I’ve figured out how much I love you, I hate the way that I treated you.”

“You were mean.” He laughed and told her that she was good at not giving him a break. “Well, do you want me to lie to you about it?”

“No. Not at all. I love the fact that you put me in my place when I need it. It makes me feel like there is nothing I can do that you won’t keep me in line with.” She sat up and moved back to the chair. “Are we done cuddling?”

“I don’t know how to start sex with you.” He leaned back in the chair that he was sitting in and stared at her. “I know about sex. I’ve had it before, but I don’t know how to make love. Or to be made love to. I think that I’d be a big disappointment to you if we were to make love right now.”

“Are you thinking of making love to me right now?” She looked down at the half cast that she had on her leg. “That wouldn’t be a problem. It might be something that we have to work around, but not a problem. As much as I love you, I think that we can figure out a way to make it work.”

“How?” He stared at her, then smiled. “You have a plan. I don’t know all your looks, but that one tells me that you’ve been working something out and that you have a plan on how to make it work.”

“I’ve done nothing but think about how to make love to you since you moved into this house. By the way, your name is on the deed too. I made sure of that now because if anything happened to me, I wanted you to have a safe place to live. I’m not saying that it’ll be your aunt that gets me, but I could fall into traffic and get hurt just as easily.” She told him not to talk like that. “I’m sorry, but I want to make sure that you’re going to be safe. No matter what.”

“I’ll be just fine if you are.” He grinned and picked her up again. This time, instead of putting her on his lap, he sat her down on the desk that was nearby. She was confused at first until he spread her legs wide and sat in the chair that she’d been in. “You’re going to make love to me right now? Here on this desk?”

“Yes. If you wish.” He settled himself in the chair, and she could feel herself getting wet. Nothing would have prepared her for this, even if she’d been in love with him forever. “I want to taste you. To eat you until you can’t stand it anymore. Then I’ll eat you more.”

He didn’t say anything more as he pulled her shoe off. It was just a slipper, but it was the safe kind that didn’t slip when she was wearing them. As soon as he pulled the skirt off that she’d been wearing, she pulled her blouse down to make sure he couldn’t see how wet she was. All she could think about was him seeing her soaking the desk and how much she wanted him.

When he reached up and pulled her panties off, she didn’t know what to do with her hands. As he unbuttoned her blouse, she sat there watching him. It wasn’t until he was at the last button that she realized this was really going to happen. That he was going to eat her like she was a piece of juicy fruit. Thinking that silly thought, she watched as he pulled his tie off with his shirt at the same time.

“Why do you wear a tie around the house?” She had to start twice before being able to speak, and he looked up at her. His blond hair was a mess, like he’d been running his hands through it for some time. His face was clean-shaven, and she thought him sexy looking. He cleared his throat before he could answer her.

“I wear it to keep myself in check. Having a tie on makes me think I could go back to work at any time and not make love to you wherever you are.” She frowned at him, and he laughed. “What I mean is, it’s just one more thing that I’d have to remove if we were to make love. Having my tie on makes me feel like I’ve got to hold off on tearing your clothing off so that I can have you. It makes perfect sense in my head.”

“I hope so.” When he had his shirt off and his t-shirt, she put her hands on his shoulders. Being nearly naked on the desk did make her feel a little exposed, but right now, she wasn’t going to think of that. She wanted Bastain more than she’d ever wanted anything in her life. “I’m ready.”

“I love you.” Before she could answer his declaration, he moved her to the edge of the desk and held her there. As soon as he blew a soft breath over her pussy, she sighed. This was going to be something else, and she was sort of afraid of it. What would it make her feel once he started to make love to her this way? What would happen if it didn’t work out the way that he wanted? Too many thoughts were going through her head until Bastain spread her thighs open and licked her from gate to clit.

She came hard. As if her body had been primed for this its entire life. Screaming out Bastain’s name, she held onto his hair like it was a lifeline. Even that had her coming apart. When he slid his finger into her heat, she cried out again and begged for more. Or was it less? Her mind wasn’t working at this moment because all she could do was feel. As he began to eat her in earnest, she held onto him, riding his mouth hard enough to have him holding her back. She wanted everything and didn’t care how she got it. As he was pulling her forward again, Trin came several more times. Nothing like the first time, but just about as close as she could get.

When Bastain lifted his head, she could see her juices on his face and chin. His hair was a mess from her pulling on it, and he looked at her like a man deranged. She wanted him to fuck her right now and didn’t care if she hurt her leg or not. This would be so worth the pain that came from her being moved around.

“Take me.” He said not yet. “Please. I need to feel you inside of me. I need to know what it’s like to be fucked. Take me, Bastain. Please? I need you.”

When he stood up, she braced herself on the desk so that when he did take her, she’d have something to hold onto. As he took his pants down to his knees, she watched his cock as it bobbled around.
