how would any kid act in this situation? After all, her grandfather is a ruthless criminal. Can we expect her to behave otherwise?”
He chuckled. “You’re soft because she’s a kid.”
“That and my bruised shins are healing.”
I handed her the water after unscrewing the cap off the bottle as Raiden untied her. The door was locked, and if she ran, she wouldn’t get far. She guzzled the water, and I told her to take it easy. “You don’t want to make yourself sick.”
“I was so thirsty.” She swiped the back of her hand over her mouth.
Raiden offered her one half of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I’d made. She took a bite and smiled.
“Mmm, this is good.” The garbled words brought a laugh out of me as she spoke with her mouth full. Peanut butter coated her teeth, and the picture was comical. She demolished the first half, and he offered her the other.
I held up a small plate full of potato chips. “Want some?”
“I love crisps!”
What kid didn’t? When she polished the plate clean, I showed her the chocolate chip cookie. “Do you like cookies?”
Her eyes sparkled. She really was cute. Dark hair and green eyes, she resembled her mom but must’ve inherited the dark hair from her father because her mother was a redhead.
“That was good. Do you have any more?”
Raiden glanced at me, and I nodded. He left to go retrieve another. “Are you a bottomless pit?” I asked.
“What’s that?”
“It means your tummy holds a lot of food.”
“That’s what my mommy says. Did you give her a cookie too?”
“I’m not sure because I’m not the one who took her lunch.”
Raiden was back and handed Aisling her other cookie. “Can I have some milk too?”
“Um, maybe with dinner,” he said.
She nodded and chomped on her cookie. When she finished, she asked if she could watch a movie. There wasn’t any way to do that here, so I wondered about returning her to where her mother was. We couldn’t keep her tied up here forever.
“Let me check.”
I motioned for Raiden to come out in the hall with me. “Can you check with the others about what we should do with her?” He agreed and left, only to return and say it was fine to take her back downstairs, but not to where her mother was.
“They want Sinead to think she’s still being mistreated.”
“Good idea.” We took her down with us and set her up in one of the smaller rooms that had a TV so she could watch a movie. Dana, Raiden’s mom, sat in there with her, and we instructed her not to tell her anything about what was going on.
Everyone milled around as we waited to hear from each of the teams. We figured the Maine and Pennsylvania teams would have nothing to report, but we were eager to hear from the New York team.
Finally, Drex announced, “Hey everyone, this will take a while. Why don’t you take a break? Hanging around like this makes everyone edgy.”
Raiden nudged me and asked, “Wanna take a walk outside?”
“Why not?”
We donned our jackets, since it was September in the mountains. The autumn air was crisp, clearing our heads. It was a breezy day, and the wind whipped my hair around.
“Dang, I should’ve put my hair up.”
“I love it when its messy. You have that just fucked looked.”
“I should because we just fucked not too long ago.”
“I’m ready again if you are.” He winked and flashed a sexy grin.
“Hell, yeah.” He took my hand and led me to an outbuilding. The gardening and lawn equipment were stored in it. “Here?” I asked.
“Unless you want to go to our bedroom.”
“No, it’s fine as long as no one joins us.”
“That wouldn’t be ideal.” Raiden searched the room and motioned me to follow. He entered a side door which opened into an office. Inside was a desk, chair, and some bookshelves. The property caretaker must’ve used this when the owner was in residence. A hired company handled everything now. Raiden closed and locked the door.
We both took our jackets off, even though the room was chilly. He removed my jeans and underwear next, pulling them down to my ankles. Then he lifted me up and set me on the desk, spreading my thighs. His tongue explored all of my secret places, lingering on the most sensitive bits. I was near orgasming when he stopped and unzipped his jeans until his cock sprang from its confines. I reached for it and guided it inside of
