"Why do you make me do this to you Hailey? I love you so much...Why do you run from me?" Ryan broke down crying with his head in my lap, finally, after being tied to this chair for so long I was finally free. I don't know how long I was actually sitting stiff in my own piss and blood.

I had come to the decision as I took the repeated beating after beating over the last several hours that the next time I ran, the next time I got the opportunity to get away, that it would be my last and he wouldn't see it coming.

That had been my problem in my past attempts, I had gotten to eager, to careless in my planning. I wouldn't make that mistake again. I knew what I had to do. I swallowed down any shred of self respect of my pride that I had left and put my plan into action immediately.

"You're right Ryan" my dry horse voice croaked as I closed my eyes and swallowed the bile that rose up in my throat as I spoke those words that I knew were untrue.

'Just survive' I told myself.

Shakily, and with great struggle from being tied up for so long, I lifted my arms that he had just unbound and put my hands on his head of black hair that lay in my lap. A silent tear ran down my cheek when I started to move them gently against my will in his hair and spoke. It was all I could think of to do.

"You're right" I said again not really knowing what to say, yet knowing exactly what I had to say. I just couldn't yet, but then I gulped down the sick feeling in my throat.

"I deserved it" I finally uttered

—-

I screamed as I shot straight up in luxurious bedding of the king size bed in our hotel suite and then reached for my gun.

Cole's arms around my waist pulling me back to him kept me from grabbing it.

"I didn't deserve it...I didn't deserve it...I didn't..."

I cried in a barley audible whisper as I mumbled that phrase over and over again against Cole's chest as he held me tight in arms as I sat in a heap in his lap.

"Shhh...I know baby, you didn't deserve it"

"I want him dead Cole" I tilted my head to look up in his eyes "I want him buried in a hole in the desert so I don't have to have nightmares about him anymore. I want my life back" I pushed my body up so my lips could meet his and kissed him softly.

I studied his gorgeous face, that face that was gorgeous to me and many other women, but when I saw past the blind love, I saw the hard exterior that everyone else saw. A person you'd step out of the way for should they cross your path.

I scoffed out a laugh.

"You know Ryan was supposed to be safe. He was getting a college education in business, he came from a wealthy family, he was supposed to be safe" I said again because it just baffles me.

"You...You're a mean, bad-ass biker who hurts people, you are not supposed to be the safe one, but you've never put your hands on me to hurt me, you've protected me, and I have never felt or been more safe than when I'm with you. I...I don't think I can face him Cole"

Cole rubbed my back until I had calmed down and then turned me around so I sat in the V of his stretched out long legs. I stretched my legs out inside his and laid my back against his chest. His arms came around me and cocooned me in his safety. We laid in each other's arms looking out at the dazzling strip of Las Vegas that was lit up in front of us. It was like a fairytale and that made me even more nervous, I kept waiting for it to end because fairytales aren't real.

"You know I'll never let him hurt you Hailey. He won't get near you and if you don't want to face him then you can come back up to the suite as soon as we grab him. I'll put him in that fucking hole myself"

"I'm just scared. What if something goes wrong and he somehow gets to me?" I ask and my voice gets higher pitched in fear as I talk.

"Shhh baby...you know I have back up plans for everything. You'll be covered and I don't plan on letting you out of my sight. Can you try to not think about it anymore? Let me grab a joint" he skimmed his lips in butterfly kisses against my neck "I love you" he added whispering in my ear.

"God I love you so much Cole" I sighed "Yes, please, could you grab it?

I moved forward so he could scoot out from behind me to get into his bag for a prerolled blunt and then got right back into the same position in bed behind me.

He lit it up and hit it to get it going good before giving it to me.

"Just know that I'll always come for you if anyone were to ever grab you, whether it be Ryan or another club or my fucked up old man. Also baby, you're feisty as fuck now, you're strong and can fight. Ryan thrived off your fear, don't give it him, don't break in front of him when we get him; that's what he wants"

I rubbed along Cole's muscular forearm, running my fingertips along the prominent vein running the length of his arm. I can feel my eyelids getting heavy and relaxed.

"Are you okay now Hails?" His genuine tone made my heart swell with even more love for him.

I sighed and turned so I could straddle him. I kissed him slow and sensually.

"I'm good, Let's do this Clyde, I'll be your Bonnie" I laughed at my dumb joke. Cole made a sound, I wouldn't really call it a laugh but it got a reaction.

"I like that actually" he smirked" Go into the fancy as fuck bathroom and go find the surprise I got for you, the first surprise I got you, the Irish made it special for you" he smiles, so beyond proud of himself and patted my butt to get off of him.

I took the blunt from his fingers and hit it one last time, then gave him a shotgun before a kiss that lit my thighs on fire, before I got off of him and sashayed my hips into the bathroom with a giggle. I was blasted and goofy which was better than being nervous and scared.

Inside the luxury bathroom suite that was bigger than our bedroom at home, was designed in all white Carrera marble, seamless glass shower doors, multiple jets and rainheads enticing me to use them all.

Hanging on a brushed chrome hanger was a full length red satin dress that had a slit running up each thigh, stopping right around my mid thigh by the looks of it. The body of the dress was long sleeve red lace over a nude material that would certainly make me look almost naked. The deep V would definitely expose my breasts.

It was gorgeous but I was going to attract a lot of attention in that. Maybe that was the point? Cole alway has a point to everything he did.

I grabbed the hanger to put in on and underneath it was another hanger that held a red lace body suit. I could tell this is the piece Cole had custom made for me.

Although it was red it was heavy, making me think it was bulletproof, it had clips for my gun and slots for my knife. A separate, red, belt-like strap hung off the top of the hanger. I knew exactly what it was for, my Sgian-Dubh, this was a gift from Branna. A note confirmed it.

Concealment can be an art form...an early wedding gift as your soon to be husband told me about his love for red. B

I smiled and stripped my clothes. I was going to go seduce Cole and pull him out on the balcony into the private hot tub and pool we had. I walked into the bedroom naked with just the red heels on that were in the bathroom to match my dress.

"Oh shit!" I screamed as I threw my hands over my important bits "Drew close your eyes!" I yelled and ran back into the bathroom to grab a white hotel robe off the door in the bathroom and put it on.

I couldn't go back out there now. I sat down on the edge of the jetted tub.

Cole wasn't in the bedroom, maybe that's why Drew was there to watch me but seriously he didn't need to be in our bedroom? Plus, he didn't tell me he was going anywhere.

I heard Cole's chuckle as he walked into the bathroom pulling me from those dark thoughts. He was smiling from ear to ear.

"You gave Drew quite the show Hail"

I started laughing with him then stopped.

"It's not funny, he saw me completely naked" I said innocently "I wanted to get you into the hot tub with me" I batted my eyes at him.

He stripped off his clothes, then held out his hand to me, when I took it he pulled me into him. Feeling the hardness of his naked warm body against mine was still a feeling I couldn't get over. Every time he touched me, my skin ignited in flames.

"Lead the way babydoll" he kissed under my ear on my neck already giving me goosebumps.

"Grab your phone for some music Cole" I told him as we went through the bedroom before we went into the others spaces of the luxury suite he rented for a couple nights.

He grabbed his phone and picked me up bridal style and walked to the door, put me down, the picked me back up and walked through to the balcony. He set me down and I walked forward towards the hot tub.

We had a private balcony looking over the strip at all off he lights and huge casinos that almost look fake or toy like. You could see the all of Vegas from up this high.

The hot tub cover was off and the water was bubbling. Neon lights changed colors on its own making it look even more inviting.

"What do you want?" Cole asked referring to the music choice.

"Dangerous Woman" I said cutting my eyes to him, giving him the look🎵

He isn't a Ari fan, at all, but he put it on for me.

Once he stepped to me and made eye contact we with me, all I could think about is...what if this is the last time I have with Cole? I launched at him like I heat seeking missile. He read my eyes and body language as I made my move.

He put one arm around my lower back, pulled me tight to him and spun around, putting his other arm against the hot tub just in time to keep us from crashing against it.

"Nice moves President Thomas" I said in a low voice.

He smiled and leaned his down until his mouth hovered above mine.

"Did you like that?" He mumbled lowly against my lips with his raspy voice, he was just as turned on. "Mmhmm" I hummed and then our lips met, both of our mouth opened immediately, allowing our tongues to taste each other.

I clutched him tight around the neck and pushed up off the concrete ground, jumping up and wrapping my legs around his waist, which let me feel him between my legs.

His bare hard cock was rubbing me in the best way as he slid back and forth between my folds against my wetness.

We kissed hot and heavy for a few minutes with Cole teasing me, just rubbing against me but never going inside me. I decided I could play that too.

I lowered my legs down off of him and stood in front of him. I looked at him in the eyes before looking down at his ready and waiting cock. When I look back up to his eyes he's smiling.

I took him firmly in my hand and watched his eyes close, he face twist and contort in pleasure, as I stroked him slowly but firmly.

"Get in the tub" I demanded.

His mouth was on mine in carnal need

"Come here" he pulled me over to the hot tub and helped me in before he climbed in with ease.

He sat down on the bench of the tub, his face grimacing in pain from the heat on his balls I would imagine, He hissed as he lowered himself down. I wasted no time climbing on top of him. I didn't care me knees would probably be bruised from knocking against the hard plastic seat.

It doesn't take us long before we're panting and clawing at each other wanting even more from each other.

"Fuck...baby, you feel so fucking good" he moans into my ear. All I can do is whimper.

"I'm-

I can't talk as the ballon in my belly is about to burst.

"Uh fuck-Cole?!" I plead for the torture to end. He brings his hand down into the water to my clit and slicks his thumb against it, making me buck forward and bury himself deep inside me, making me groan out a guttural sound.

"Come on baby, let go and give into to me" He circles my clit at the perfect speed he knows I need, and that's all it takes along, with his dirty words in my ear before the burst happens and my orgasms ripples out like a detonation and I feel it everywhere.

No sound leaves my mouth at first, an open mouthed scream, until the ripples race through my body allowing feeling back and I scream Cole's name loud enough for all of Vegas to know how good Cole can lay it down. He's good with pipe, in more ways that one.

That's all it took for him as he holds me down firmly by my hips as he thrust hard up into me before drilling inside me. I feel the swell and the warmth hit my insides, over and over, as he twitches releasing in me. He holds me close, skin on skin, telling me he loves me softly against my neck.

I wonder if this most perfect moment will be the last I have with him?

"I love you so much Cole"

"I love you more baby, we're so close to the finish line, let's go get ready so we can cross it. Everyone is ready and waiting for us" Cole tells me after we've sat and soaked in each other's physical energy.
