Chapter 45

Kate

Corbin leaves the room and I’m not sure if I’ll see him again.

That thought makes me want to vomit.

I walk to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror.

My right cheek is red from him slapping his steel-like cock against my face.

His handprint is on my neck like a faded tattoo.

My left nipple is red raw from him biting it.

And my wrists and ankles have all the evidence of me being hog-tied .

I catch myself smiling. I’ve never felt as beautiful as I do right now.

This is where heaven exists. This is all I need. All I want.

This isn’t just about lust and desire or my feelings of love for him.

This is the deep seeded fantasy where I can pluck from to mold it into reality.

Honestly, this is… joy. Happiness.

This is me being fulfilled.

All those feelings come crashing down in a few seconds.

Chad knows. Which means Mary Beth knows. Which means…

KABOOM.

Corbin struck the match the day he showed up to the house. I took the match and lit the fuse. And I watched the fuse burn, never once actually trying to stop it from reaching the bomb that’s been called my life.

So, once again… KA-fucking-BOOM .

I leave the bathroom and go back to the bed where I curl up under a blanket and wait for Corbin to return. If he does at all.

Corbin does return.

With a bottle of whiskey for us to share.

I note a sense of happiness and sadness on his face.

The most beautiful, rough man I’ve ever met in my life. The only man to ever truly understand me and take me the way I needed to be taken.

Corbin uncaps the whiskey bottle and flicks the cap across the room.

He drinks as he walks into the bathroom.

There’s silence for a handful of seconds before he emerges and comes toward the bed.

He’s wearing only jeans and he climbs up onto the bed and steps over me.

The whiskey bottle is thrust at me and Corbin nods.

I take the bottle and take a sip. He demands I drink more, so I do.

Then for good measure I add in a third decent sized gulp.

He then sits next to me and grabs for me, demanding to hold me in his arms.

“Everything is known, Katie,” he says.

“I figured that…”

“I was back in your house and he attacked me. He actually knocked me out.”

“What?” I scream. “Corbin!”

“It’s fine, darling.” He touches my face. “He played it masterfully. He’s been waiting for the moment he had for a while. He used me against me.”

“What does that mean?”

“He set up a camera in the dining room,” I say. “Maybe more. He tied me to a chair but not very strong. He did it on purpose so I’d escape. So I’d go after him. He called you generic . And a whore. I lost my temper.”

My heart splits into pieces. “You were defending me.”

“I told you I was going to kill him and I meant it,” Corbin continues. “That’s when he pointed out the camera. Everything’s been uploaded. I can only assume he’s gone to the police by now. Shit’s already hit the fan, Katie. I’m sure the police are looking for me. I’m sure he had the police go to the hotel too. Or maybe he went. To see if you were still there.”

I gasp.

“That’s why we’re here,” Corbin says. “We need this tonight. We need each other.”

I look back at the motel room door.

I can’t imagine anyone tracking us here. But then again, what do I know about police or detective work? Criminals are caught all the time. Even the smartest, strongest, and richest sometimes get caught.

Corbin touches my face and makes me look at him.

“It doesn’t matter,” I say. “Fuck them. Fuck all of them. We have each other, Corbin. We can pack up and leave right now.”

“If anyone digs around the garage it can get very messy very quick,” he says. “I’ve had to make some difficult decisions, Katie. All the heroin is gone, back to someone else. You don’t need to know more than that. I’ve taken a little for leverage, along with a shit ton of cash.”

“So we’re okay then,” I say. “We can just… go…”

He slides his hand to the back of my neck and pulls me against his chest.

I blink a few times and feel an intense warmth hitting me.

Fucking whiskey.

“Our love cannot be destroyed, Katie,” Corbin says. “It’s a forever kind. The kind of love that nobody can ever understand.”

“Fuck everyone,” I say, my words slurring. “Fuck everyone and everything. We just need each other…”

I try to blink but end up shutting my eyes for a few seconds.

When they open, I’m sort of face down at Corbin’s jeans. My hands opening them. Not even realizing that I’m…

I look up at him.

I blink a few times. “Corbin…”

“It’s okay, Katie,” he says. “It’s all okay.”

My hands feel for his cock once more.

I can’t believe how much I’m craving him right now.

How badly I want and need him right now.

Corbin pushes his jeans down and I lower my mouth to kiss his monstrous size.

Once again when I go to blink, my eyes shut and stay shut.

They’re super heavy.

I manage to force my eyes open and I’m no longer kissing Corbin’s thick shaft.

I’m now on top of him.

His hands cup my face.

I feel his cock between my legs, entering me.

Softly. Slowly.

I move my mouth but there are no words.

Corbin pulls me down and wraps his arms around me.

I feel his body fucking me.

Oh, God, it feels so good.

“It’ll be okay, Katie,” he whispers to me. “You cannot take this fall with me. Just like last time. I refuse it.”

I groan.

What is happening?

“They’re almost here,” Corbin says. “They’re going to find me in this room with you, Katie. You’re going to be fully dressed and in bed. You know nothing and remember nothing…”

I whimper.

Corbin’s cock continues to penetrate me. My inner thighs tremble and ache.

I think I’m starting to come once again.

I bite my bottom lip.

“I forced myself into your hotel room and took you,” Corbin’s voice says. Now his voice sounds weird. Like it’s fading in and out. “I made you drink whiskey that had something in it. You’ve done nothing wrong, Katie. I love you, darling. You’re the only thing in my life that’s ever felt complete.”

Corbin kisses my cheek.

He lets out a grunt and I feel him start to come inside me.

I swear I can hear… sirens … from somewhere…

My eyes close and grow heavy again.

I know I’m not going to open them again.

I feel Corbin move me away from him, placing me down onto the bed.

We’re no longer together .

In my head I scream to him that I love him.

In reality, I’m in complete and total silence as I sleep heavily.

I sleep so hard I don’t even hear the police kick in the door and tackle Corbin to the ground and arrest him…
