Legally Bound 3: His Law (6 page)

Paige turned to gape at her sister when she paused and just stared up at the ceiling. “Paige, the man didn’t just erase Luca’s touch. He erased Luca period and scrambled my brain in the process. I was always scared to be me with Luca. Like all the nasty shit I want would freak him out. I mean he pushed the limits at times but Nate,” Pam sighed.

“I didn’t have to hide or hold back and neither did he. If I’d met him at any other time in my life I would be chasing him down like a crack pipe. I just can’t bring him into my mess. I have my own trust issues now and Luca can be a fucking lunatic.”

“Well damn Pam,” Paige breathed and rubbed her forehead in thought. “I don’t know this Luca person but I do know Nate. I don’t think your drama will scare him away so easily. I think you should give him a chance. I almost missed out on a good thing because I couldn’t see pass my own face and drama. Nate is a great guy.”

“Yeah, I think you might be right about him being a good guy but if he is he really doesn’t deserve my crazy mess,” Pam pouted.

“Why not let him decide that,” Paige shrugged.

“I don’t know Paige. You know how we can read people. Nate has secrets. I can see them in his eyes,” Pam frowned. “And this is why I’m an idiot. I knew Luca had secrets. I don’t think I can enter another relationship were I just ignore shit.”

“Come on Pam,” Paige nudged her sister, “you are never the one to give up. I see the way you look at Nate. Don’t make my same mistakes. I wasted so much time doubting Bobby. So what this Luca took advantage of you being lonely and vulnerable across the ocean from your family.

“Because I am sure that’s what really happened. It’s his loss that he didn’t cherish what he had. Let him come for you. You won’t be waiting for him. I know that whatever Nate’s secrets maybe they are not the kind that will hurt you.

“Nate was ready to kick Bobby’s ass for me when things got crazy with that nut. Trust that is big, those two are thick as thieves, but he wasn’t going to let Bobby’s cheating on me go over without consequences. But that’s not who either of them are, he wouldn’t disrespect you like that.”

“Let’s say you’re right here, little sis. Nate could be a great guy but Luca is a loose cannon. Things are about to get crazy in a few days when his cousin Uri arrives in the States,” Pamela said in frustration.

“Have you seen Nate? I think he can handle himself,” Paige chuckled.

Pam sighed and sat up. “Okay fine, that giant has one shot. If he can handle my psycho ex showing up and my issues then he’s a keeper,” Pam snorted.

“Please girl, I saw how he had you pinned to that wall. This Luca needs to stay wherever he is because love don’t live here anymore as far as he is concerned. Nate didn’t erase him he obliterated him,” Paige laughed.

“Oh girl, you have no idea,” Pam said biting her lip and squeezing her thighs together.

“Sis, come on let’s get you dressed so that man can see what he is about to fight for,” Paige gushed.

“Thanks Paige, I really did miss you,” Pam said with tears in her eyes.

“I missed you too,” Paige said letting her own tears spill over and hugging her sister tight. “By the way, I’ll start ringing the bell from now on.”

They both burst into laughter.

“So how are things going with Pam,” Bobby asked with a crooked smile. “It seems you are not wasting anytime.”

“I guess birds of a feather flock together. It’s only been two months since your royal screw up at Desire. Look at you now, a married man,” Nate teased.

“You and I both know that I have been in love with that woman for years now. If you thought I was going to give her a chance to run from me anymore than she already has you have officially lost your mind,” Bobby laughed.

“I hear you. Well I haven’t felt this way in…,” Nate paused and frowned. He shook his head. “Nope never felt like this. I can’t get her out of my head.”

“Well what about this situation you asked me to look into. Luca… really of all people she could have fallen in with. I mean I like the guy well enough but I have seen and heard about him losing it. Then there is his shadow Uri. That man’s hands have reach I have never seen before,” Bobby said with a frown of concern.

“Yeah tell me about it. Uri is really what I am most worried about. Luca is just a spoiled punk. Uri on the other hand sets things in motion from another continent and his own family is too scared of him to bring him to the States permanently,” Nate said and stroked his chin in thought.

“That’s saying a lot giving their family business and history. I’ve gotten Luca’s father out of some sticky situation more than once,” Bobby replied.

“Well if she is pregnant I could give a fuck who is coming after her. Uri, Luca, the whole Donati family. To be honest I don’t care one way or the other. She belongs to me now. I’m just as scary as Uri. I’ll put him down faster than his punk ass cousin can send him to do his dirty work,” Nate said with a stern expression on his face.

“Uri is a calculated man. It may seem like the family pulls his strings but it is more to it than that. I have come to know him as his own man. Yes, he favors that impulsive cousin of his, but he is a man of reason. He will not just come for her because Luca throws a tantrum. At least not with his guns blazing,” Bobby reassured his friend. “Give me just one more day and I will have some answers for you.”

“Thanks,” Nate sighed.

“Now about this baby,” Bobby whispered with a smile. “Do you really think she’s pregnant?”

“It’s more than possible. After the first condom broke I was curious. I found at least one more that we used that night with a hole in it,” Nate said and frowned at his own thoughts.

This was another mystery he had yet to get around to. He hadn’t said anything to Pamela. He didn’t want to freak her out. He knew he was clean. The family business required quarterly check-ups. He’d just passed his check-up with flying colors.

It was just nagging at him that those condoms had broken. Sure it could have been a bad batch, but he just knew that wasn’t the case. There had just been too much else going on for him to really think about it.

“Did she provide the condoms or you?” Bobby asked in his lawyerly tone.

“I did. Come on Bobby. Pam isn’t the type. I know what you are thinking. Besides I don’t think she found out about my financial status until we returned to New York. That is if she even read the papers about the wedding. She still may not know,” Nate responded.

“Just asking, it wouldn’t be the first time someone has tried something like this with one of us,” Bobby shrugged.

“Well, don’t you let her ever hear you say something like that,” Nate chuckled. “She’d have you by the nuts before you could blink.”

Bobby threw his head back and laughed. “Don’t I know it, better you than me.”

“I think that’s what drives me to her. I don’t want to dominate a whole relationship. I love submission in the bedroom but something about that fire she gives outside the bedroom challenges me in a way that drives me insane and I like it,” Nate thought out loud.

“I know what you mean,” Bobby said with a smile and stood patting Nate on the back just as his wife and sister in law emerged from the bedroom. Bobby gave a low whistle. “Ready ladies?”

“Yup,” they said in unison.

Chapter Eight

“
I
’ve wanted to get you out of this dress since you walked out in it. I almost told Bobby and Paige to go to dinner without us,” Nate groaned in Pam’s ear as he walked her backwards into the condo.

He and Bobby had just returned from there meeting. Bobby had a private meeting with a high profile client and Nate needed to escort him tonight. It was just better for now for Paige to think that they were just hanging out. Bobby hated having to lie to his wife but for right now with all the changes and Marie and Rita returning some things were just better kept in the dark.

Bobby nearly dragged his wife out of the door and Nate couldn’t blame him. Now that he had Pam all to himself all he wanted was to get her out of the knee length sky blue sheath dress she had on. It was the sexiest thing he had ever seen. It clung to all her curves just right, cutting across her collarbone with a boat neck.

The six inch black patent leather heels only added to the sex appeal. Hot wasn’t even the word. Nate wasn’t surprised that Pam styled and dressed people for a living. She also had a few models that she represented.

Nate loved her ambition. He knew how hard she had worked to get her company off the ground and he knew she would have to work ten times as hard to get things off the ground here in New York. He admired the way she had talked about her career at dinner. She was doing pretty well and he knew she would handle the transition.

“Nate,” Pam laughed and pushed at his chest trying to stop him. She hadn’t been expecting him to come back, but there he was when she walked Paige out. They needed to talk. If she was going to do this he needed to know what he was getting into.

“Tinkerbell, I told you I was coming for you. So get your sexy butt in that bedroom. I have been missing you,” Nate murmured against her neck.

“Nathan, baby we need to talk,” she moaned as he kissed the sensitive skin behind her ear and flicked his tongue out against her ear lobe.

“We can talk later after I get inside you,” Nate said hungrily.

“No Babe, we need to talk now. I need you to be clear on everything and then if you still want me, you can have me all night,” Pam purred.

“Nothing you say is going to make me walk out that door, but I’ll let you speak your piece,” Nate sighed and stepped back to look in her eyes.

He wondered how much she was really going to tell him. He wondered if she knew her ex was hot on her tail trying to locate her whereabouts. He had received a text during dinner that Uri was boarding a plane and heading their way. He wasn’t nervous, just curious. It was clear the Pamela was more than a fling to Luca.

The man had balls though. To think he could drop a bomb like that on a woman like Pam and think she would just roll over and take it. It made Nate wonder if Luca knew her at all. He couldn’t have or else he would have kept her in the dark or found some alternative if he wanted to keep her. No matter now, she was off limits.

Pam walked over to the couch and sat. She kept her eyes on her shoes and started to twist her fingers in front of her. “So what I didn’t tell you about my ex is that he is possessive. Luca can get a little crazy when it comes to me.

“I’ve known since I left London that he will stop at nothing to find me. Uri knows where I am now and he is on his way here. He promised not to tell Luca where I am but that is only for now,” Pam sighed and looked up at Nate.

“Luca is not going to be happy when he finds out about you. Not that I care or want him back. I just don’t want to bring drama to your door.”

“Is that it?” Nate tilted his head and asked calmly not giving away any emotions.

“Well yeah, when Uri gets here it is going to get ugly,” Pam shrugged.

“Okay, now it is your turn to listen to me. I think you missed some of this when we first met so let me reintroduce myself,” Nate said and moved across the room so he was now standing in front of Pam. He unbuttoned his suit jacket and loosened his tie.

“My name is Nathaniel Xavier Briggs. I fear no one and I take care of what belongs to me. You Pamela belong to me. Luca wasn’t man enough to hold on to you, that is his loss. So put him out of your mind because I. Am. The only man that needs to be on your mind,” Nate said with finality. “As far as Uri, I’ll handle that when the time comes as well. Trust me.”

“Well in that case there is one more thing,” Pam said with more confidence. Pushing her shoulders back and lifting her chin. It made Nate smile he had seen her sister do the same thing a number of times.

Nate nodded for her to continue. “You have one shot Nate. I don’t ever want to be made a fool of again. I won’t stand for being lied to. You lie to me or hurt me, I walk,” Pam said firmly.

Nate removed his jacket and then his tie tossing both to the nearby chair. He removed his cufflinks and pocketed them, rolling his sleeves up to the elbows. He then unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt. Pamela watched him with narrowed eyes.

“As your man Pamela my first job will always be to make sure you are safe, protected and taken care of. I will always keep you happy and satisfied. This dick,” Nate pointed to the bulge in his pants and lifted a brow. “Belongs to you, there will be no secret engagements or arrangements. Only time I will hurt you is when you ask me to and trust me that will be more pleasure than pain.”

Pam’s breath catch in her throat. This man was going to be the death of her. Him and that dirty mouth were such a turn on. Pam stood and move toward him cupping his bulge. She lifted a brow. “Mine?”

“All yours,” Nate growled.

Pam squeezed her hand around him. “Show me,” she purred.

“Pamela,” Nate groaned as Pam took him deep down her throat. She was insatiable. He’d just finished pounding into her not even two hours ago. She passed out and he thought it was going to be a night after the powerful orgasm she had, but here was his woman waking him again and in the absolute best way ever.

He was falling in love with her mouth. Pamela didn’t just give good head she gave an oral performance that was award worthy. “Damn Baby,” Nate grunted and bucked his hips.

He reached for the back of her head and started to pump deeper into her throat. Pam moaned loudly swirling her tongue around him and flicking it in turn. She released him from her mouth to spit on it and massage the head while looking into Nate’s eyes. She smiled as she heard the rumble that rolled up out of Nate’s chest and through his lips. She dipped her head back down but didn’t take her eyes off of him.

Nate never thought he would find a woman he wanted to be with that would be able to handle his sexual appetite but Pam was everything he wanted and more. Pam reached to tug and massage his balls placing two fingers right beneath them. She began to really massage the soft flesh, sucking in earnest and that was it. Nate came with a loud roar.

Pam crawled up his body with a wide grin on her face. She pecked his lips and snuggled into his chest. “I was craving chocolate. Hope you don’t mind,” Pam teased.

“Not at all, just remember your turn is coming,” Nate said sleepily before they both drifted off to sleep.
