Cain

My hands are in my pocket. I turn to face her as she’s staring at me. She doesn’t look pissed off, so that’s a good sign. She looks like she’s been crying. At this time of night there is only one place she’s been. Calling whoever it is she calls every week.

“What are you doing here, it’s a bit late, don’t you think?” she asks, walking up to the door.

Taking my hand out of my pocket, I look at the time, and glance up at her watching me. “It’s two in the morning. I could ask you the same thing?” I reply.

I watch as her eyes move from my watch to my knuckles. I’ve showered, got as much of The Pit off me, but cuts and bruises don’t fade so quickly. Placing my hands back into my pocket, I wait for her to open the door. “Where have you been?”

“For a walk.” She finally opens the door, and before she can close the door, I walk in behind her, but she stops me. “What the hell do you think you’re doing here?” she snaps, and not quietly, either. Loud enough, if her neighbors cared, they would come out to see what was happening. But I’ve been standing here for a long time and three of her neighbors have walked past me and no one has asked me what I’m doing here at this stupid time in the morning.

“To talk.”

“Not happening, you think kicking me out like I mean nothing, and then come here and I’d be like, ‘Oh yes, Mr. Cain please come in’ “Ugh. No. Not happening.” Autumn-Rose tries to close the door, but I stop her and lean on the door frame, and stare at her for a moment.

“I fucked up. What I did was the worst thing a man could do. But I had reasons, and it had nothing to do with you.” I stop because she raises a brow at me, wanting to know more, but I’m not talking about Tess at the moment. “If you really want me to leave, which I know you don’t. You can lie, but your eyes tell me something else. But I will leave and come back tomorrow.”

“You’re an asshole.”

“A word many people call me.” I bring my hand to the side of her cheek and move her hair away so I can see her face better. Fuck, I want to know what’s upset her, so I can fix it. “Are you letting me in?” She presses her lips together, looking away from me.

She’s fighting with herself. Shaking her head, she steps to the side, and I place my hand on the side of her waist as I walk past into her apartment.

I hear her lock the door. Four locks, that’s a bit extreme, so turning around I have a look at the locks and the corner of my lips curls slightly. “What?” she asks me, not replying. I look around her apartment, even though I already know what it looks like here. My glance stops at the flowers. Well, at least she didn’t throw them away.

“If I wanted to, I could break into this apartment in less than five minutes, and the terrible security you have won’t do anything.” I watch her slowly moving to the coat stand in the corner of her room as she hangs her coat. Fucking beautiful, top to bottom.

“No, you couldn’t.” I hear the panic in her voice, and she looks around to make sure I’ve not already been in here. I haven’t. I’m not a fucking creep. “What do you want? To make me feel cheap again?” Yes, she’s gone straight for the punch in the stomach, all to make me feel like shit about last night.

There is so much I could say. I could tell her everything, but I know no one is going to believe that shit. I could show her the scars, but I don’t want her to fear me. No matter what I say at this moment, she’s going to think I’m crazy.

Taking a step closer to her as she walks over to where I’m standing, she folds her arms over her chest. Wrong move is all I can think of, wearing a pretty cute dress, with a V cut which now gives me the perfect view of her chest, something I will be sucking on very soon.

She stares at me for a moment, her eyes moving from my eyes to my lips. For someone who’s supposed to be pissed off at me, she is also begging me to touch her.

Closing the small gap between us, I want to see if she will move away from me. No, she’s standing her ground.

I grab her chin, lifting her face to look up at me, and lean down to kiss her. If she pushes me away, then I’ll have to figure something out what tell her, but she doesn’t.

Kissing her soft lips, I move my hands to the side of her neck. I feel her hands softly placed on my chest.

Wrapping my arm around her waist, I pick her up, and she wraps her legs around me. I enjoy the fact I can pick her up with one arm. My other hand moves to the back of her neck and pulls her deeper into the kiss.

Not asking the way to her bedroom, I make my way over, taking a quick look to see how far the bed is. I don’t turn on the main light, knowing very well you can see through the window if it’s on.

Laying her on the bed, I gently kiss her neck, her legs still wrapped around me. My hand moves up her thigh, bringing the hem of the dress up with me. Autumn’s hands move through my hair. Breaking away from her lips, I remove her dress, and quickly I remove her bra before slamming my lips back onto hers.

“Fucking beautiful.” I look down at her body. I knew she would have an amazing figure, but fuck, she is sexy. “I get to taste you again.” Before she says anything, I kneel between her legs, planting small kisses on her thighs. “You smell just like a rose.” I kiss closer to the one place I want to taste again.

I slide two fingers inside her, making her arch her back, but I remove them to give them a lick. “So fucking sweet.”

I hear Autumn-Rose moan when my tongue moves slowly over her clit, sucking and licking, dying for another taste of her.

Sliding two fingers inside her again, I flick and suck on her clit, her hands move into my hair. The moans and gasping from her beautiful lips are only making me get harder.

“Oh. Mr-” She stops mid scream when I pull away from her. “Nooo.” Now that makes me smile. “I knew you’d be sexy when you smile.”

“You scream my name. Cain. My name is Cain.” Before she can ask if my name is Cain Cain, I bury my head behind her legs again, suck hard on her clit, making her arch her back off the bed.

“Fuck!” she screams, feeling her tightness around my fingers. I move them faster, my mouth changes between flicking and sucking. The grip of her hand tightens in my hair, the pull on my hair isn’t stopping me from giving her an orgasm which will be mind blowing for her.

“Cain!” she screams my name as she comes.

My fingers continue to give her pleasure as I kiss up her body. I feel her hands move down my back, and I feel her wanting to remove my top.

“Leave it on,” I whisper against her lips, then kiss her hard before she asks why. I know it’s a question I’m going to have to answer, but not at this moment. I sit up between her legs and look around as I move my fingers into her fucking sexy pussy.

Placing my hand on her lower stomach, I push down slightly. ‘If I do this, can I make you come again?”

I curl my finger up and the second it touches her spot, she grips my forearms.

“Oh God, Cain,” she moans as she comes again. Giving her a moment to stop shaking before I remove my fingers, half-opened eyes, she watches me as I suck on my fingers before getting off the bed. I remove my pants.

“I’m not finished yet.” She breathes out my name, which only pulses my hard dick as it springs free from my sweats.

Fuck, do I need to be buried inside her. Getting on the bed, I place myself between her legs, rubbing her thighs, I place the condom on because once I’m in, I’m not getting out. I place the tip of my dick at her entrance, which is dripping from the two times she’s come already. Teasing her with the tip so I can look over at her perfect. I wish I didn’t see the bruise on the side of her waist. Autumn-Rose notices the change in my eyes.

“I walked into the counter. I bruise like a peach,” she quickly tells me, and the only thing I can think about is how her body will be marked from me now. I inch into her pussy, slowly, because she is tight and I don’t want to hurt her. She cries out as I get deeper inside her. Once I’m deep inside her, I flick her clit with my finger, which makes her jolt in pleasure. Beautiful.

“Oh God,” she moans as I move faster. I suck on her breast, and her hands move to my shoulders.

“Fuck,” I grunt out. It’s better than I thought she was ever going to be. So much fucking better.

“Cain,” she pants out my name, knowing she’s not going to last much longer, but fuck, neither am I.

My hand moves to her beautiful, graceful neck, and I squeeze it a little, then I let go. I do it a few times. I don’t want to go all in and scare her by going too tight. But one day I will choke her enough to give her pleasure like she’s never had before.

I pull back from her, but before she can moan about it, I thrust harder into her, making her scream so much louder this time. I lean down and kiss the side of her eye

as a tear escapes. My English Rose is making me lose everything I have inside

me.

“Oh, Cain, yes-” the words cut off, as the waves of pleasure hit her so hard the orgasm takes over her body. Removing my hand from her neck, I kiss her neck as I thrust my hips, making sure I come hard myself.

“Fuck.” I grunt out, sucking on the side of her neck.

Finally slowing down, I bring my lips to hers and kiss her so fucking hard, she wraps her legs around my waist, hands in the back of my hair, pulling me deeper into the kiss.

“You okay?” I ask as I pull away from her lips. I finally pull out of her and sit back and she moans, which makes me smile again, but I don’t show her as I remove the condom.

“More than okay.” The beautiful sound of a soft laugh hits me as I walk to the bathroom to throw the condom away.

Walking back out, I put my sweats back on and get on the bed next to her.

Leaning in closer, I kiss her lips, then her neck, as my hand plays with her nipple. I’m going to have so much fun playing with these.

“I don’t know about you, but I need some time to recover.” Autumn-Rose runs her fingers through my hair so I look at her. “God, you are sexy, aren’t you?”

“If you say so.” Giving her a kiss, I grab my cell. “Now I know you’re tired, but I’m about to prove my point. Can’t have you living here scared of something. Which you will tell me about by the end of the week. Now with this crap you call security, I will prove my point.” Hitting the call button, I wait for him to answer.

“I paid good money for it, and it’s been working fine.” Autumn gets off the bed and puts on some shorts and a t-shirt.

“Hold-” I tell the person on the cell, and make sure they can’t hear me. “First you look better naked, and second, you might want a refund.” Rolling her eyes, she walks out of the bedroom, and I follow her. “What are you doing?” I ask Miles and put him on speaker while I get some water from the fridge and watch Autumn-Rose leaning on the counter watching me.

“It’s almost three in the morning, what do you think I’m doing, I’m fucking sleeping,” Miles snaps, and I smile.

“I’m sending you an address. Break in. Let’s see if the student is as good as he says.” I drink my water and listen to Miles moaning about it. “What do I have to get?” Miles asks, knowing he can bitch about it all he wants. He’s doing it.

“Nothing, just break in. Call me when you’re outside-”

“You fucker, you're going to time me?” Miles jokes. He knows me well enough to know that’s exactly what I’m doing.

“Yes.”

“Fucker, which means you could do it quicker. What’s the time?” Miles asks. The good thing about Miles is he wants to learn, he wants to get better, and no matter what, he will always ask for help because he doesn’t want to fuck up.

“Now that would be telling. Let me know when you’re outside the building.” I end the call, and take the bottle off Autumn and her eyes go back to my hands, I walk over to the couch and put my cell on the side, and lean back on the couch, closing my eyes for a minute, but open them when I feel Autumn sit on my lap.

“So, how long are you giving him?” she asks, moving her hands through my hair, and the feeling is something I’ve not felt in a long fucking time.

“He should do it in under five minutes. If I didn’t care, I’d do it in less than three, but if I wanted to make sure and be careful, less than four.” Placing my hands on her hips, she leans in closer, planting a kiss on my lips. “I have a feeling you have questions, but so, do I?”

“I don’t have a lot. I have three. Why do your hands look like that? Why didn’t you take your t-shirt off, and how do you know how to break into someone’s house? See, not that many.” She smiles, and I could watch her smile every single second of the day.

“My hands look like this because someone did something wrong and needed to be taught a lesson. My body, I will show you, but not tonight. I think that part of my life needs a day, and time for me to tell you my story, or some of it. Breaking in, no I don’t do that, but when you learn about my past, it will all make sense.” I tell her and adjust myself a little because her being so close to me is already waking up my cock ready for round two.

“I call my parents in England,” Autumn-Rose whispers, and I hear the word parents come out with a choke to it.

I don’t answer straight away and answer the call to Miles. “Go,” I tell him and start the timer on my cell. “I’m going to need more information than calling your parents, because I see you have a cell you can call from the safety of your apartment.” There might be a bigger reason, which I will find out, because I couldn’t find anything online about her apart from her hospital stuff. Nothing, I didn’t find one single thing She has covered her tracks well.

“I know.” Her finger moves down the side of my face, and I close my eyes again.

She feels so soft and gentle, and I’m about to bring her so much fucked up darkness. “I will.” I sit up and kiss her, pulling her closer to me, hoping and praying I can protect her to my death, and she doesn’t run when she finds out about The Pit.

Standing up, I look at my cell when I hear the door open. “It took you four minutes and twenty-two seconds. Not good.” I move to the side when he throws his cap towards me. “Need to work out what took you so long and fix it.” I turn to Autumn-Rose.

“And your cell didn’t even go off. It’s that easy.”

“Shut up.” She sticks out her lower lip and pouts like a little girl.

Miles shuts the door behind him, and I give him a shake of the head not to say too much in front of her, and not to say anything to his parents. I won’t hear the end of it.

“Miles, come tomorrow morning and get the whole place set up. You know which one.” Even though it took him a longer time than me, the man is good with computers, and can hack into anything I throw at him. He knows what he’s doing.

“What key entry do you want?” Miles asks. He takes a moment and looks over at Autumn-Rose, then turns to me with a smile.

“Take her finger print. Two cameras on the windows, one on the door, one on the stairs coming up to her place, and-” I stop and turn to Autumn-Rose when she coughs. “Scared scale one to ten? How scared are you of whoever it is finding you?”

“I can’t afford all that. And a ten, a very high ten.” Frightened, that’s all I see in her. A shiver in her voice, and she bites on her lower lip.

“Do you trust me?” She gives me a nod, and I turn back to Miles. “One on the roof, and the front door, but make sure that no one can see that one. Add my print on the system, and send me all the information so I can get it on our cells.” Whoever it is she’s hiding from won’t get past my system, I’m glad she is willing to put her trust into me.

“Face recognition?” Miles asks, and I look over my shoulder and I see her panicking.

“Not yet. I’ll be here when you come. Call me when you’re on your way.” Miles says bye to Autumn-Rose. I know I didn’t introduce them, but at the moment she’s not ready to meet my whole family, especially when I keep them at a distance myself.

I turn back to face her, walking over to her. I wrap my arms around her and she finally relaxes into my arms for the first time since the conversation started.

“Let’s get to bed.” I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist. If this is her way of saying we get to play one more time before bed, I’m more than happy to make her scream my name a few more times.

And this conversation can wait for when she’s ready. I will start pushing if I get nothing from her in the next two days. About my past, I have no idea where to even fucking start. But I know I’m going to have to give answers to get answers from her.
