Wanting More (Mitchell Family #5)(21)
Author: Jennifer Foor

I didn’t lean over and give him a kiss and he was probably going to take it out on me later. There was no way I could sit there for another minute and pretend that I wanted to work things out with him. The whole time he was talking, I was seeing Conner between my legs, licking and kissing me.

By the time I got to the salon I was too shaken up to concentrate on hair. I had lied about the perm client and thankfully work was slow. Miranda came in and kept to herself. I knew she had a bunch going on and tried to stay out of it.

When lunchtime came around and Conner showed up at the salon, I couldn’t keep my hands off of him. His strong hands touched me and gave me that urgency to be with him again. From the moment his hard erection entered me, I felt pure bliss again. He wanted me as much as I wanted him and I had to find a way to keep seeing him.

When Miranda came back from lunch early and I sent Conner out the back door, I sat around and memorized his number. For safe keeping I even stored it as a secondary number under Miranda’s contact information. As the day went by and I did a few clients hair, I was reminded all day about my afternoon delight by the wetness in my pants. By the time Miranda went home and I turned out the lights to the salon, all I could think about was Conner.

I dialed his number with shaky hands, just hoping to hear his voice before I had to go home.

Hello

Conner, it’s me…Amy.

Yeah, I know who it is. You alright?

I just…I just wanted to tell you goodnight.

Oh my God! He must think I am such an idiot.

Did you think about me after I left?

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t.

You need to start wearing skirts to work.

Why is that?

So I can bend you over and smack your ass.

Why is that hot to me?

Because I’m under your skin. I bet your still dripping with my come. Does it make you hot thinkin’ about me f**kin’ you in that chair?

Yes…

Now you have no choice but to give me what I want.

What do you want Conner? I wanted to hear him say it.

I think you already know the answer to that, Blaze. The rules are off and I want more of your fine ass.

What if I say no?

He started laughing on the other end of the phone. Good luck with that, Blaze. Sweet dreams.

Goodnight, Conner.

I was literally fanning myself as I hung up the phone. Reality set in when I realized I had to go home and deal with Rick. He’d been home all day and that was never a good thing.

I locked up the salon and headed home, the whole time thinking about being with Conner again.

When I got home, Rick was waiting for me. Six beer bottles were sitting on the coffee table and the house wreaked of cigarettes. I tossed my purse on the kitchen table and tried to avoid him, but he came up behind me and started kissing on my neck.

Panic set in when I knew if I fought him, he was going to hurt me. His breath smelled like stale beer and ashtray mixed together and I wanted to gag when his tongue licked my neck.

My eyes filled up with tears and I struggled to keep them from rolling down my face. “Where you been?”

He spun me around and pushed me up against the counter. “I was at work. You know I don’t get off until five.” I tried to move out of the way, except he was blocking me.

“I missed you all day. The kid ain’t coming home again, so I figured I could get some of that sweet pu**y tonight.” His hand touched me between the legs and I cringed and looked away.

What was I supposed to do?

If I said no to Rick there was no telling what he was going to do to me. I was his wife and he expected me to do whatever he said. I was trapped in Hell and I couldn’t find an escape. I wanted to throw up.

“How about I get a quick shower and get the chemicals off my hands. I can make us dinner and then we can spend the rest of the night in bed.” It was my last chance at getting him away from me. If I could stall long enough, he would pass out and leave me alone.

This wasn’t about Conner, it was about survival.

“Hurry up. I’m horny right now, so don’t make me come find you.”

When I got into the bathroom, I locked the door behind me.

I reached down in the cabinet and searched for my makeup bag, where I kept my stash of money. I searched through the bag twice and realized that my money was gone, all of it. I wanted to scream, but realized I couldn’t say a word. If Rick found that money and not his daughter, then he was just waiting for the right moment to approach me. I turned on the shower, and sat in a ball on the floor. As the water trickled down my body, I cried in fear. I couldn’t leave and I couldn’t go out there and face him.

I wanted to be back in Conner’s arms, where I knew I was safe.

I stayed in the bathroom for as long as I could and thankfully when I came out, Rick was asleep on the couch. A rush of relief hit me when I knew that he wasn’t coming after me with his fists. I’d lost my appetite and crawled right into my bed. I contemplated locking the bedroom, but knew he would break it down if he found out.

I don’t know how long I just laid there crying. I wanted to grab the laptop and look up how to get a fast divorce and what legal rights, if any, did I have.

Rick woke me up around five in the morning. He was on top of me and freshly showered. His naked body smothered mine and he began kissing all over my face. I felt my tank top slide up and his mouth on my br**sts. He yanked down my shorts and forced himself inside of me. Like every time we had sex, I was dry and not turned on at all. Luckily he wasn’t very endowed and after being with Conner, the pain was bearable. When Rick noticed the tears running down my eyes, I told him that I was just happy about his new opportunity. As soon as he walked out of the house I ran to the bathroom and started throwing up.

If I didn’t feel like a whore from cheating, I really felt like one now. I wasn’t torn, I knew exactly where I wanted to be, even if I knew I could never really have him.

Since Rick was on the road for a few days, I thought I would have time to sort out what I needed to do, but something happened that I just couldn’t ignore. Conner showed up on the second night right before I closed the salon. The last customer had left and he locked the door behind him.

“Amy, we need to talk.”

Chapter 13

Conner

Throughout my whole life there was one person that I would have laid down and died for. I swore to my father’s grave that I would do everything I could to protect my sister and make sure she was always happy.

Even though I thought Ty’s plan to alter the paternity test was convoluted, it still would have given Bella the future that she deserved. Behind my sister’s back, Ty had to enlist the help of one of his crazy ex’s, who took it upon herself to allegedly drug him. I said allegedly, because I wanted to give my brother-in-law the benefit of the doubt before I pulverized him.
