“Phoenix, oh God, I think…I think I’m gonna-”
That was all he got out before a burst of semen hit the back of my throat. Levi’s cries of delight had my own orgasm rushing to the surface and I groaned around his dick as my climax tore through me. I swallowed over and over as Levi continued to shoot. His cock pulsed in my mouth as the last bit of his seed slipped over the back of my tongue. I gently sucked on him to bring him down. He was leaning heavily on me, his hands resting on my shoulders. When I released his spent dick, he sank to the floor. I expected him to kiss me, but I was caught off guard by the tears in his eyes. I knew they were tears because small sobs were bubbling up from his throat. He put his arms around my neck and buried his face against my shoulder.
Since I knew I hadn’t hurt him, I just held him. My guess that he was just completely overwhelmed proved to be right when he finally lifted his head long enough to whisper a quiet, “Thank you” in my ear.
And I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he wasn’t just thanking me for the pleasure I’d brought him.
Chapter 17
Levi
“What the fuck are you doing?”
I flinched at the anger in Jed’s voice as he watched Ricky yank the woman to her feet.
“The missus and me are going to go check things out upstairs. Maybe someone” – Ricky viciously kicked the man kneeling before him – “will start remembering better if he ain’t got his pretty little wife around to distract him!”
“No!” the man screamed as he lunged to his feet. Jed kicked the back of his knee and the man went down hard. The boy was sobbing as he tried to get closer to his father.
“Fred!” the woman shouted as my brother dragged her from the room.
My stomach rolled violently since I knew what was coming. My eyes darted around the room in desperation. There had to be something I could do.
“Hey!” Jed snapped as he hit me upside the head. “Get the tape!”
I stood there and stared at him because I had no idea what he was talking about.
“In the bag, you idiot!”
My eyes shifted to the small green duffle bag a few feet away. I’d assumed Jed had brought it to carry the money, since it looked practically empty.
Why the hell did he need tape? He’d already tied all three people’s hands with plastic zip ties.
Another smack had me moving forward. The gun in my hand felt like it weighed a ton, even though it had no bullets in it. As I neared the bag, my eyes fell on the cordless telephone sitting on a side table. I desperately wanted to grab it, but I knew Jed would probably shoot me if I did.
I searched the bag for the tape, but between my shaking hands and tear-filled eyes, it took me a while to locate it. I could hear Jed yelling at the guy behind me, along with the teenager’s muffled cries, but I purposefully tuned out as much as I could.
But I couldn’t tune out the female scream that rattled through the house. I let out a guttural sob and felt the vomit crawling up my throat.
“Hurry the fuck up!”
I returned to Jed and handed him the tape.
“No, cover his mouth,” he said as he waved his gun at the kid.
“What?” I asked.
“Cover. His. Mouth.”
I shook my head. “No,” I said automatically.
Jed didn’t hesitate in the least as he stepped past the guy and pressed his gun to my head. “Cover his fucking mouth.”
I stifled a choked cry and forced myself to walk around the boy’s body so I was facing him. He was on his knees, his hands bound behind his back. His wet eyes were on his father.
He flinched when another muffled scream came from upstairs.
“Corinne!” the man shouted just before Jed hit him with his gun.
“Shut up or I’ll start putting bullets in your kid!”
The man instantly fell silent, except for the sound of his crying.
I so badly didn’t want to look at the young man as I tore off a piece of tape and leaned down to put it over his mouth. But his terror-filled eyes lifted to mine and I saw the silent plea.
I can’t help you. I can’t even fucking help myself.
I didn’t say the words to him, of course. I did as I was told and put the tape on his mouth.
“Good, now that that’s out of the way,” Jed said as he turned his attention to the man. “Where’s the safe?”
“Safe?” the man asked as he shook his head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about-”
“Wrong answer!” Jed snarled and he hit the guy again.
