The Red Door (The Door Series Book 1) (27 page)

I had no idea how they ran the business side of the club without a program to keep up with everything but I planned on downloading one today. When finished it was going to be a huge timesaver. Becca and I worked together and by six p.m. we had all the current members with their basic information in the program.

Becca was meeting up with Mark at a bar at seven. I had only seen him a couple of times and missed him. He was facing the door with his back to the wall. He stood when we walked in, giving Becca a long kiss and me one on the cheek.

“Ari, I didn’t expect to see you tonight.” I saw his easy smile and was happy I decided to come. After all the work we put in at the office, I needed to sit back and have a comfortable drink with no hidden agendas.

“I spent the day with Becca and wanted to hang out with both of you some tonight.”

“That’s great. I miss us all hanging out. We should plan to have a night in like we use to do. Rent some movies and have pizza, popcorn, and as much junk food as we can find.”

“Cookies and ice cream.”

“Jelly beans, Twizzlers, and gummy bears.”

“We did have fun. I remember the time you talked us into getting all scary movies. It ended up storming and every time it thundered, I screamed.”

“Yeah, but you both cuddled with me all night.” He laughed.

“My parents came home and found us all cuddled together. You were in your sleep pants, and we were in tiny shorts and tank tops. After you left, they gave me the sex talk. It wasn’t so fun then.”

“Oh, it couldn’t have been too bad. Your parents were more sexually relaxed than most.”

“I was fourteen. It was horrible. They didn’t want to just touch upon it; they wanted to talk about everything. Yuck!” I smiled realizing I was thinking about them without crying.

“I am sure they knew what they were doing and trying to make you think ‘yuck’ in association with sex.”

“You know, I am sure that is it. I never wanted to have that conversation again so I didn’t ever want to do anything to warrant them giving it to me.” I laughed.

“Your parents were good people no matter what others thought or what happened.” I looked over Mark’s serious face.

“What do you mean?”

“They were good people, Ari. They saw the good in others where many didn’t. I just wanted you to know how I felt about them.” He shrugged.

“Okay guys, enough serious talk.” I looked up and saw that Becca had already taken two shots and was finishing her mixed drink. I checked my watch; forty minutes had already gone by. “I need to run to the bathroom. You two plan a fun night while I’m gone.” I watched her weave through the bar toward the bathroom.

“A movie night? I guess the first thing would be location. We all have a house, but mine isn’t done. It would need to be yours or Becca’s.”

“We could do mine. Or we could do something totally different.”

“Like what?” I watched him look off and could see him thinking of something. Planning something.

“A whole night, right? Or a day?”

“Sure, I guess. That’s what we use to do. We’re adults now, no permission needed.” I was thinking of Mitch and Alex when I said this. I knew they wouldn’t like it, but until they decided to be open and trust me, I was going to hold part of myself back from them. Not the sex, that was too good to pass on, but I wouldn’t let them in on every detail of my life outside of the club.

“What about we leave town? My parents still have the cabin. We can rent movies to watch there and cook s’mores on the fire. Maybe grill steaks, instead of ordering pizza. Plus, there’s a hot tub. Only a couple hours out, the drive wouldn’t be long.”

“S’mores and hot tub, sold. I can go pack now.” I smiled at him and received a return smile.

“Cool, here comes Becca. Let’s keep it a secret and surprise her. I’ll have to check with her work days and mine. It could be last-minute when it’s planned. Is that fine?”

“Sure. You must really like her. She’s told me you two hardly spend any time apart. I’m glad everything is working out.”

“Me too, and don’t worry, everything is working out perfectly.”

Alex

I knew I shouldn’t have left mad this morning. I shook my head thinking over the way the day started and everything said. I woke up this morning wrapped around Ari. Her face was planted into my chest and she had a grip on my pillow with one hand and the other was thrown around my back. She was plastered to me and it felt unbelievable. I never thought I would have this, have her. Waking up with Ari and a stiff cock, I knew I was here for however long she would have me, because I didn’t feel the need to get up and run out as fast as I could. I actually wanted to stay in bed all day with my cock buried in her, but I knew she had to be sore and tired. We hadn’t been in bed but for a little over four hours. I was about to get up when I felt Mitch push his hard cock against my ass. I froze.

Mitch.

I had felt the heat on my back and knew he was there, but I had managed to push away thoughts of him and what we did up to this point. I knew he wasn’t going to let me anymore. I also knew I wanted him and he wanted me, but I wasn’t sure how far I could go. I gently rolled away from Ari and over to face him. I saw he wasn’t casually rubbing my ass, but he was rubbing the head while jacking off. I reached down and wrapped my hand around his and leaned in for a kiss. I heard his inhale when I touched his cock and felt his shock when I leaned over him and took the kiss deeper. This I could do. I had complete control on how far it went and knew I could quit anytime. I was surprised it only took a minute before he came all over my hand. Surprised and a little proud he wanted me so much to blow so quickly, I stood up and went right to the shower, never saying a word. He might push me, but my response to him was that. Mine.

My choice.

My control.

I was going to have to take care of my own cock, but that could be done easily enough. I jumped in and started washing my hair before I felt Mitch join me. I ignored him and started on my body. When I was done rinsing off, I turned and looked up at him. He was taller than me by couple of inches and he was so big around, it made my muscled body look thin. He was casually leaning back against the shower wall, watching me with those lazy brown eyes of his like he didn’t have a care in the world. Of course, since he had cum and I had a raging hard on, I was sure he was feeling pretty relaxed.

“Why did you run off?”

“Because you finished and I need to get back to the files.” I turned my back to him and grabbed the conditioner. I didn’t normally use conditioner, but there was no way I was going to make it far with my cock straining.

“Don’t lie. Are you scared of me or what you feel for me?”

“Don’t.”

“Don’t tell me ‘don’t’. I want to know if you’re going to keep running until you’re gone for good.”

“I’m not running, I’m taking a shower.” I turned back around to look at him as I said this.

“You sure?” He reached down and wrapped his hand around my cock. I heard my own strangled groan.

“Yes, I’m sure.” I closed my eyes and leaned my head back into the spray ignoring him completely. I felt Mitch shift. Then he took me in his mouth. “Fuck. Stop. Don’t fucking do that.” I jerked back from his mouth.

“What, this?” He grabbed my hips and took me all the way in and sucked hard. Up and down coming back to the top and swiped his tongue over the head of my cock. “Are you sure you aren’t running because your cock is telling me to keep going.”

“Yes,” I gritted out. “I’m sure.” I pushed against his shoulders.

“So sure that you’re pushing your hips toward my mouth.” I looked down as he once again took me in his mouth bobbing his head a few times while massaging my balls in his hand.

“Fuck!” I moved my hands from his shoulders to grab his head and started fucking his mouth. Damn, but he knew how to relax his throat so I could push all the way in. My cock was long, and I knew it wasn’t a simple thing to do. Not that I knew how it felt to give one, but the girls who gave me head before always had trouble and went at their own speed, which kind of sucked for me, but I wasn’t going easy on him. I felt my head hit the back of his throat, watched as he gagged and his eyes watered, but I never let up. Fucking his face hard enough that my balls were bouncing up under his chin. He wanted my taste so bad, and he would have it. I kept up and made him gag again then pushed hard and came down his throat. Forcing him to swallow everything I gave him. When I was done, I kept ahold of his head while I slipped out of his mouth but didn’t let him go. I fisted his hair and tugged, getting him to meet my eyes. The dominant part of me had come out, and he wasn’t done yet. He told me he would willingly submit to me. I needed it now more than ever. I needed to know that I was still in control of what was happening between us. I stared into his eyes waiting. Watching as he realized what I was doing and fighting with his inner self before relaxing in my hold.

“Thank you, Alex.” I watched as his whole demeanor changed and his body relaxed.

“You’re welcome. I was rough, are you okay?” I asked fully in Dom mode and taking care of my sub. I still hadn’t released his head nor broke eye contact.

“Yes. I enjoyed it.” I looked further down and saw that he did in fact enjoy it.

“I don’t know how much I can give you, Mitch. I enjoyed this and how rough it was. I know I could never do that with Ari. I don’t like the thought of me gagging her by forcing all of me down her, but with you, it’s a major turn on. I know now, after doing it, I could grow to need it. I could also use floggers and whips and wouldn’t have to worry about going too far or hurting you. It would balance out Ari’s gentleness, but I don’t know my personal limit with you. I need to take it at my speed, and I need total control over it. Understood?” I pulled his hair again letting him know I needed him to agree.

“Yes, Sir.”

“Good.” I stepped out of the shower and dried off. I looked over, watching him stand and start pumping his cock. He was hard again. I wondered how this big ass controlling man liked submitting to me. “We might have to start every morning in the shower with you on your knees.” I watched his hand start pumping faster. “While I grab your head and fuck your mouth. Would you like that?” Mitch moaned loudly and leaned his head back closing his eyes. “I thought you might. For now, you aren’t allowed to cum unless I’m with you. You do, you’ll go without anything from me.” I turned and left to the sound of his moan.

“Son of a bitch!”

A couple of hours later Mitch found me in his office and started rubbing up against me, silently begging to help him out.

“Is there a problem, Mitch?”

“Please, Sir. I’m in pain.”

“Hmmm. I don’t know. Take it out and let me see how much you’re actually hurting.” I watched as Mitch, without any hesitation, yank down his pants and pulled out his stiff cock. I knew it had to hurt, being so close earlier and having to quit. I reached forward and wrapped my hand around him. He immediately moaned and started fucking my hand.

“I think you forgot, Mitch. You’re not the one in charge here.”

“Please, Sir.” I kissed him as he fucked my hand. Pre-cum was leaking from his head and made my hand sticky. I felt as he drew close and broke the kiss, watching as he came moaning my name.

I shook my head and focused back on what I was doing. I looked down at the files and knew I was missing something. I looked around at them spread out on my desk and my bed. I was back in my motel room, if you could even call it that. You would think that working for the suits on high profile cases, I would be given the means to at least afford a good hotel room. Not the roach infested motel with the rusty water and stained wall where I was staying. But the door locked, and it had a desk and was quiet at this time of the morning, at least, since all the druggies and whores had passed out.

I had gone over and over the members and their backgrounds. Still not finding what I was missing, I grabbed my phone and pressed the call back number.

“Sledge.”

“You find anything?”

“Nope. This guy and the people he works with are walking around polishing their halos.”

“We’re missing something, and it’s big. There has to be a trail. How are they getting these girls? Eight girls in the past four years. That’s two girls a year. And you know to go through all this trouble they have to be making a chunk of money. Why is there no money trail? It’s like someone came through and erased all the important details right before the case came to us.”

“We need to cross reference other clubs. Who knows how big this really is.”

“Why have other clubs not been checked already? Who handed down the orders, Sledge?”

“Don’t know.”

“Where the fuck is all our information?”

“All I can find out is that when he gets it we will get it.”

“He?”

“Carter.” Their boss. I shook his head.

“We have been sent in blind with promises of information and what we could dig up ourselves. I’m just wondering why we were pulled in, if they already have a team from Homeland investigating. Has Diana revealed anything about her team?”

“No. That woman is a bitch. I swear butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. She’ll not give me a number, name, or anything. I called their office, and they thought I was crazy. Said they didn’t have a Diana who worked for them, and if they did and she was going by an alias, it was up to her to give up any remaining information.”
