"C'mon, let's get you girls home."
The drive back was a quiet one as all three of them were lost in their thoughts. Dominic pulled into the driveway and headed up to the front door with them. Once inside, Adele suggested Kelly might like to go have a shower, and she headed off to her room.
"I can't stay right now, beautiful. I've got to get back to the station to organize the guys to watch over Kelly until this guy gets caught. I'll be back by dinnertime. Then I'll stay tonight to make sure you're both safe. Does that sound okay?" Adele was still looking a little shell-shocked so Dominic pulled her in for a hug. He lowered his head into her hair, inhaling her sweet scent. Having her safe in his arms improved his mood massively. After a few minutes, he reluctantly pulled away then dropped a gentle kiss on her soft lips before heading out the door and back to the station.
Chapter Thirteen
Cole had followed his slave and the woman yesterday until they headed back to their house. A disgusting purple monstrosity only a girl would ever live in. After that he'd gone home and got his workout in. He'd come past this morning just in time to see his slave walking across a vacant block opposite the house. He'd left the bag of dogs for her to find. He'd then stashed his ute at a public car park at the end of the next street before walking back to the house. He was nearly there when Kelly ran across the street and the woman met her. He'd stayed back and hid amongst some bushes until another car pulled up. A man got out, went inside for a short time before all three headed out again. Once the car was out of sight, he jumped the back fence and pried open a window. He searched through the house before settling in the kitchen. He was certain they would be gone for a while with those dogs so he made himself a coffee and a sandwich before sitting down.
He'd just finished washing up and putting away his dishes--damn OCD could be a pain in the ass--when he'd heard a car pull up the drive. He'd quickly made his way down the hall to his slave's room where he stood by the door and waited. He heard the three car doors slam before the front door opened and he heard the deep murmur of a male's voice. Damn it. The man that had come to pick them up had come in with them. That was one big bastard. No way he could take him on and the two girls and come out on top. He was trying to form a new plan when his slave came through the door next to him. Her head down, she was not paying attention. Good. His trick with the dogs had worked in throwing her off kilter. He snapped forward, quickly wrapping a hand over her mouth and an arm around her waist. He leaned forward to whisper in her ear.
"Hello, slave. I've got you now."
As soon as he'd spoken, she'd gone bat shit crazy fighting against him. She'd grown stronger over the last weeks. She was going to be so much more fun to play with now. Despite her efforts, he kept her in a firm grip. Realizing he couldn't safely leave the house while that man was still here, he held her tight against his body while he breathed her scent in and listened for the front door.
As he heard the front door close, he smiled. Now it was just him and the two girls. This he could most definitely work with.
"I'm going to release your mouth now, slave. You scream and I'll shoot you then I'll take the woman you seem to like so much as my slave. Understand?" He growled his words into her ear. He'd felt her body stiffen when he'd threatened the woman. He waited for her to nod, which she did just as he heard footsteps come up the hallway toward them. He released her mouth and grabbed his pistol out of the back of his pants. He held it against the side of her temple and waited.
The door swung open slowly as he heard the woman begin to speak.
"Kelly, are you okay in here?"
Well, there you go. Her name is Kelly. Not that it mattered now. She would never escape him again.
"Oh, Kelly's just fine. For now." He said in a deep drawl as she entered the room. She cursed as she froze to the spot when she spotted his pistol against his slave's head.
"We're going to take a little drive, the three of us. Me and Kelly here have some catching up to do. Don't we slave?" He moved his arm from her waist and took hold of a fist full of her hair. He looked the woman over from head to toe. She was a pretty thing; built just how he liked a woman.
"And I think I might just save you for later. Now, here's what's going to happen. We're going to move real slow and easy out to the lounge. You're going to grab your keys. Then we're going for a car ride. You're driving. Me and my slave here will sit in the back. If you so much as twitch in the wrong direction, she gets a bullet. Do we understand each other?"
He watched as the woman slowly nodded before she turned to go back out the hallway to follow his instructions. Such a good girl, maybe he should keep her too. He followed along behind with his slave firmly in his grasp.
