Rosé - Gone

"I'm glad that you're eating well." Gideon murmured into her ear. She felt him grin against her skin, his stubble tickling her neck and causing her to shake from the friction. He chuckled, leaving a kiss against the side of her throat.

They were at the breakfast table with a feast laid before them. Just the two of them. She sucked on a piece of grapefruit segment, the juice drinking down her chin. Placing the segment down, she grabbed the bowl of soursops pieces and dug in with her hands.

Gideon leaned against his palm and watched her eat with a smile. Knowing that she was eating for their baby warmed his heart. His free hand slide up her loose top and rested against her belly. Another week had gone by in flash and she had grown little by little, and within a few more weeks they'll get to know the sex of their baby.

He wanted a girl; one with her mother's unruly hair texture, her facial features and his dark hair and eyes. A combination of both of them. But, a boy won't be bad either since he'll inherit and lead his empire.

"Once you're done," he said with a mischievous shine, "let's go take a dip in the pool."

Rory faced the hunger glint in his eyes and instantly knew what he was suggesting. She should've been disgusted by his request but instead found herself eagerly nodding. She blamed the raging pregnancy hormones. It had heighten her sexual drive and she had a hard time saying no to him.

After devouring her food, she raced upstairs and pulled on a forest green bikini. Wrapping a soft robe around herself, she legged back down, towards the pool. There she found Gideon swimming laps, his muscles tensed and glistening in the water.

Removing the robe, Rory sat on the edge, dipping only her feet in.

He swam towards the edge - towards her - and lifted himself up, caging her between his arms. He kissed her slowly, moulding his lips to hers before dragging them down her neck, the space between her breasts and to her belly; where he lingered. He lowered himself back into the pool, gently taking her with him.

Rory lay flat against the water. Gideon's outstretched arms keeping her afloat. She gazed up at him to find him silently admiring all of her. His eyes drinking in every fibre, every cell and all her perfects and imperfects. He flashed her a lopsided smile when he noticed that he was caught.

Heat rose on her cheeks and she twisted in the water, dropping both her legs. Gideon curled his arms under her bottoms, lifting her up so that she was a head above him.

Meeting his heated dark eyes, her heart pounded in her chest. It was intense and hungry. He looked at her like she was his next meal and she was willing to be devoured alive. With shaky movements, she cupped the back of his neck and lowered her head where she placed her lips over his.

Gideon tighten his hold on her and deepened the kiss. Licking, sucking and tasting. She was a favour that he'd never get bored of.

Not a moment later, her butt was settled on grey tiles. Her bikini top was thrown into the water, floating with her the matching bottoms. She was naked, legs spread wide apart with Gideon's fingers sliding between her folds.

A finger popped inside, pumping and twisting, in and out. He rubbed his thick thumb over her clit in circular motions, quick and rough; driving her to madness. Tension built in her stomach, shattering the surface and she came, gasping.

Rory broke their kiss and threw her head back, groaning in bliss. Every cell of her being shook in pleasure.

Gideon hoisted himself out of the pool and lifted Rory in his arms. They settled on an outdoor sofa. Their wet bodies soaking the dark material - María was going to be pissed.

His swim trunks were discarded at some point, leaving them both naked; wet and horny.

"Fuck me." He instructed, fisting his cock with his head. "Do it the way you want."

Swallowing, Rory hoovered above him and lined her hips with his cock. As she lowered herself onto it, her walls fought against the thickness and length. He split her into two halves from the within and felt it amazing. So full, so tight. She rose back up his length, having only fitted half of him inside.

"It's too big." She whined, "I can't go further."

"You can do it." He encouraged, "You've done it before."

Gideon leaned against the back of the sofa. Both of his arms thrown back while he watched her with a dark stare.

Taking a deep breath, she bounced a few times on his cock, taking more of his length with every movement.

Hands sprayed on his chest, she lifted her hips high, leaving only his mushroom shaped tip inside. With one more quivering breath, Rory slid slowly down until her bottom meet his pelvic. She convulsed with pleasure. Eyes rolling back as she rode him at her own pace.

Her walls fought against his cock, at first, but eventually, they moulded around him - accommodating his length and size.

When she opened her eyes, staring at him through her lashes, she knew he wanted - desired - more. Thus, she repeated her movements in faster and uncoordinated paces. Drawing circles and rocking back and forth - she gave into her bodies natural instincts.

Gideon grunted, howling in animalistic ecstasy. His big palms gripped her hips, marking her with his nails. His mouth found her throat and he sank his teeth into her flesh leaving love bites that stained her neck with purple and blue bruises.

Rory cried out and fell atop of him. Her orgasm exploding, spreading to every fibre and cell until it seized her movements. And, she laid motionless atop of her husband who continued to ride through her pleasure, seeking his own release.

Another blinding orgasm gripped her by the throat, leaving her gasping for air. Rory buried her face into his shoulders, eyes sealed shut. Her arms snaking around his neck to hold on - onto anything. Finally, Gideon's warm cums spilled inside. He groaned feeling the liquid shoot out the head of his cock.

"We need to do more of this before the baby comes." He growled in her ear, playfully biting down on the flesh.

"That's a world's away." She said, her voice trembling.

Rory lids fluttered opened and before her were teeth marks - her marks - sitting pretty on Gideon's tanned flesh. She didn't realise she had bitten him. Seeing those marks had her heart swelling with triumphant.

"She'll be here soon." He murmured. "Running around the garden with dolls."

"And if she's a boy?"

"Then I'll teach him how to fight." He smiled, nuzzling the side of her face, "Show him how to use a gun and how to run my company."

"And you won't teach her the same because?"

"I will teach her too because our world is full of dangerous men and she should be prepared for what's to come." He stated. "But, I'll always protect her even if I die trying."

Rory gulped and inhaled sharply. Their future was full of violence. The moment the baby was born horror awaited them. She knew, from the moment she felt the change in her body, that she couldn't let this baby be subjected the cruel reality.

Of their father and his world. Of her weak and naive self. This baby deserved better.

To avenge Alvaro and to save her baby, she had to put him down.

She kissed his cheek and snuggled into his warmth closer. For now, she let herself enjoy the moment then, she would put Luci's plans into motion. Plans to bring down Gideon's empire and put him into prison.

Later that evening, Rory laid on their bed staring blankly at the ceiling. Gideon was busy with work and Sebastian, she hadn't seen him since she was at the hospital. He was Gideon's most trusted advisor hence, he won't have strayed far from him. Did he know about her pregnancy? Despite, them keeping it a secret.

More important, his relationship with Luci. Was it real? Or, was she indulging him to get the information she needed about her brother's movement? It would've made him another prawn in her game.

Luci was in love with Cristian, that much she had gathered from their talk on the beach.

"So help me, Rory, please." Luci pleaded. Those dark gems harboured only determination. "Let's end him."

Her husband deserved nothing more than to be punishment according to the law. He maimed and murdered, provided weapons to both sides at war, he raped her over and over again - taking what she was never willing to give him. He tore and smeared deep scars into her soul - scars that will never held unless she found peace.

Putting him away would bring her peace. Won't it?

Rory tilted her head towards the dark sky. It was blank, there was nothing twinkling just like they had never been nothing between her and Gideon. They were captor and captive disguised as husband and wife.

She owed him nothing especially for the things he had done to her.

"I don't want him to die." She blurted before she could comprehend her words.

Taken back, Luci cocked her head to the side with a tight lip. Pondering, she continued; "What do you insist we do?"

"He should go to prison to pay for his wrongdoings." She answered. "No one deserves death even the people who took lives away. In Gideon's case, death is a blessing. He should spend the rest of his life repenting."

Clenching her jaw, Luci hesitantly agreed. If this was what it took for Rory to align with her. So be it.

Tossing a look over her shoulders, she ensured that that her movements were out of Jairo's line of sight. She reached into her pocket, fumbling for the burner phone and the USB drive.

They feigned a sincere hug. However, Rory being her naive little self found her melting into the embrace. Unlike before, Luci's arms felt cold though perhaps the Caribbean night breeze was the reason.

Luci curled Rory's hands around the two items before releasing her.

"Only use that phone to contact me." She instructed. "The drive is for downloading evidence and Gideon has stacks of it in his computer. All you need to do is download as much as you can."

"He always locks his office." She sighed.

She recalled going in there only a handful of times and it was usual with him working at his desk while she finished her schoolwork. He hardly ever left her alone in there.

"He trusts you." Luci was convinced that he did. He brought her to their childhood home was proof of that. But, to ensure that he truly did, she said; "Make him trust you. Do whatever it takes."

Rory scanned the items in her palm wondering if she could actually do it. For her dead friend who should've lived a fulfilled live, she had too. She owed it to him.

Yet, she couldn't shake the annoying voice in her head that told her to retreat and run back to her husband. That voice was simply afraid of Gideon's wrath - what he would do to her if he found out.

She couldn't turn back now. Hence, she pushed it away.

"Once you've retrieve the evidence, text me and I'll pick you." Luci explained, "I'll take you away from him and keep you and your mother safe."

She nodded in agreement, afraid that if she were to utter a word - it won't be what she wanted, needed, to say.

"Thank you, Rory." Luci smiled weakly. "You once asked me who's side I was on and I told you it was "the side of justice", and that still stands but, my family, their happiness and safety, was always my first priority." She stated. "Cielo and Cristian, they are the people that I have sided with. And, I will do what is absolutely necessary to protect them from Gideon."

Rory hadn't fully grasped their history, yet. Whatever happened between Gideon and his sister must've been horrible for her to go this far.

Again, she nodded. The words unable to take form in her mind. Gideon was the enemy, that was clear.

Luci took her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. The gesture clawed at her chest and it felt so wrong to be standing by her side planning her husband's downfall. Once again, Rory pushed that feeling to the deepest corner of her heart because it was her fear talking. She won't let that control her any longer.

Another chance at freedom was laid before her and she grasped on with firm hands.

Rain drummed against the window of the master bedroom. A dark cloud hoovered over the sky and thunder roared boomed in the air. Azul jumped from her position by the window and scurried out the room.

Rory frowned and opened the door for her to skip out. She watched the blue cat hurried down the hallway; to Gideon's office. Azul scratched his door with her paws and it opens, flooding light into the hallway. The opening was big enough to let Azul inside.

She rummaged through her rucksack for the USB drive and slide it into the pockets of her shorts. With a pounding heart, louder than the rainfall and thunder outside, Rory stumbled after Azul.
