Colin POV
“NOOOOO!”
Shots are fired and no matter how fast I run to her I’m still too late to save her. I hold her in my arms and tears start to flow down my cheeks.
“I told you to stay in the car. I told you so.”
I wake up panting and bathing in my own sweat. I look next to me, Nora is still sleeping quite peacefully. I get out of bed and go to the bathroom to take a cold shower. I throw my boxers in the laundry basket, turn on the shower and get under the rain of cold water. After a few minutes I get out and dry myself off before I put on a new pair of boxers and some sweatpants. I unlock my phone and see that it’s only 8 am in the morning. I text Nate to see if he’s up. A few seconds later my phone rings.
“Hey.” I pick up.
“Hey, how is Nora?” Nate asks on the other side of the line.
“Still sleeping, but she’s relaxed at the moment. Have you heard something from Jared?”
“Nope, I think they’re both still sleeping. He’ll call when she wakes up.” Nate says.
“Did you get any sleep?” He asks and I sigh.
“No not really. Bad dream again.”
“About her?”
“Yes, about the night they killed her.” I cringe thinking about it again.
“Don’t worry, Colin. No such thing is going to happen to Nora.” Nate tries to comfort me, but something in my gut tells me to be carefull.
“I’ll call you back when she wakes up.” I end the call and go to the kitchen. I make myself a cup of coffee and grab a bottle of water and some aspirin for Nora. I take it all with me back to the bedroom where I place the water and medication on the nightstand on Nora’s side. I lay down on the chaise longue in the corner of the room and enjoy my morning coffee while I keep an eye on Nora for when she wakes up. I can’t predict how she’s going to feel when she opens her eyes. Some people just suffer a light headache but others are feeling nauseous and can't bear to see daylight for a while. I scroll through my social media but find nothing interesting so I put on a show on netflix and watch it on my phone to not disturb Nora as she sleeps. About an hour later I hear her moaning and see that she’s a little restless. I get up and go sit on the side of the bed and caress her cheek. She opens her eyes and stares at me for a moment.
“Colin?” She looks confused.
“Yes, baby doll. It’s me, I’m here.” I say softly.
“Where am I?” She looks around the room.
“We’re in my bedroom, in my penthouse. We just slept in the same bed, nothing more happened. Don’t worry. How are you feeling?”
She grabs her head and moans.
“My head hurts. And my body.” She sits up straight. Just as I want to hand her the bottle of water and aspirin she puts her hand over her mouth and runs to the bathroom. I hear sounds of vomiting and go to the bathroom too. Nora is hanging on the toilet, clearly not feeling too well so I kneel next to her and hold back her hand as I rub her back.
“It’s ok, baby doll. You’ll be fine.” I try to calm her down. After a minute it seems like it’s over and she sits on the floor next to the toilet with watery eyes.
“What happened to me? Why am I feeling like this? How did I even get here?” Tears are now rolling down her cheeks so I pull her onto my lap.
“What is the last thing you remember?” I ask her.
“I remember that we went to the club and that we were all having fun. And that you needed to see someone upstairs. And from that moment it gets really blurry. I was drinking and dancing with Eliza and then a man was suddenly dancing with her. And that’s the last thing I remember.” She sobs.
“It seems like you and Eliza have been drugged. We noticed from upstairs that you were dancing with some other guys so we rushed downstairs...”
“I was dancing with another man?!” Nora interrupts me with wide eyes.
“Don’t worry about that. You were high from the drugs.” I sooth her.
“So anyway. When we got to you we pulled those men off of you and then you and Eliza passed out. We carried you to the limo and decided it would be better to take you with us so we could keep an eye on you.” I explain to her and it seems like she understands.
“And where is Eliza?”
“She’s with Jared, he’s keeping an eye on her.”
Nora glares at me with one eyebrow raised.
“Don’t worry. She’ll be fine. Me and my brothers aren’t like that. Jared will call when she wakes up.” I try to calm her.
“Ok. If you say so.” She pouts and lets her head down. I grab her chin and make her look at me.
“Do you trust me?”
“Yes.”
“Then don’t worry.” I say and I kiss her forehead. I reach down to kiss her lips but she turns her face away.
“Could you give me a spare toothbrush first, please?” Nora says shyly and it makes me laugh.
“Ofcourse. Let me go get one for you.” I get up and open the bathroom cabinet where I keep my extra supply.
“Thank you.” She gets up and walks to the sink to brush her teeth. In the meantime I go grab the bottle of water and the aspirin.
“Here, take this. It’ll help with the headache.” I hand her the bottle. She takes the pill and downs it with a sip of water.
“Am I allowed to kiss you now?” I pull her against me.
“Since when do you ask permission to kiss me?” She laughs her most beautiful smile and I lean in to kiss her. She deepens the kiss by grabbing my hair and making me moan. I pull away and she pouts.
“Before we continue, I want to ask you something.” I look her in the eyes.
“And that is?” She looks at me confused.
“Tomorrow you’ll start working for me. I really like your company and after what happened last night I want to keep you near me.”
“Colin, I don’t think that’s a good idea.” She says with a troubled look on her face.
“I do. Nora, I know it’s a crazy idea but we’re both adults so why not give it a try?” I try to convince her. I really want her to live with me so I can keep an eye on her and protect her if necessary. I know I can’t force her to so I’ll have to convince her.
“But Colin, think about it for a second. How do you see us living together all so suddenly?” She smiles. This is my chance.
“Am I allowed to try to convince you, baby doll?” I look at her and she nods. I turn her towards the bathroom counter and place her hands down.
“Look at you. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen.” I get close behind her and look at her in the mirror.
“Try harder.” She laughs. I grab her hair and pull her head slightly to the side so I have access to her neck.
“So strong, yet so fragile.” I kiss her neck and run the tip of my tongue on her earlobe, making her whimper.
“Imagine what living with me must be like.” I unbutton the shirt that is hanging loose around her perfect body.
“Living with a man that adores every inch of you.” I cup her breast and she gasps.
“A man that knows your worth.” I kiss her neck and pull down the fabric of her bodysuit so I have access to her n*****s. Moaning she lays her head in her neck. I trail her back with kisses, down to her ass. I pull up the shirt and knead her buttcheeks.
“Colin, what are you doing?” Nora whimpers.
“Convincing you, baby doll.” I groan as I dig my teeth into her skin.
“Do you want me to stop?” I ask but when I look up she shakes her head.
“Imagine what we could do after work.” I run my thumbs upwards on her inner thighs and she goes standing on the tip of her toes. I feel her goosebumps all over her skin. I gently rub her lips, through the fabric of her bodysuit and I feel a certain dampness.
“I could help you with this every night.”
She whimpers again.
“And every morning.” I unbutton the little snap buttons at the bottom and she gasps.
“Or during the day.” I make her lean forward so I have a full view of her magnificent folds. I trail kisses from her butt cheeks to her already wet area.
“Colin...” She moans.
“Want me to stop?” She shakes her head again so I continue my persuasion. I run the tip of my tongue around her neatly shaven folds, carefully avoiding the most sensitive spots. I use my thumbs to spread her lips and flick my tongue from right above her c**t to her cunt, making her gasp. Damn, she tastes sweet.
“I could do this multiple times a day.” I circle the tip of my tongue around her c**t, avoiding to touch it.
“If you would only let me.” I kiss her lips and suck them gently into my mouth.
“Yes.” She mutters.
“What yes?” I groan, gently running my finger up and down her fold.
“Yes! F*ck, yes! I’ll move in with you!” She shouts, half moaning and a grin appears on my face. I run my tongue flat over her entire p*ssy before I suck her c**t into my mouth and flick my tongue over it. Nora’s moaning and panting only make me want to continue. I slowly slide a finger into her cunt, hooking it downwards to hit her g-spot. I devour her sweet tasting p*ssy with tenderness and it doesn’t take long before her moaning and panting start to increase and I feel her walls clench around my finger.
“Do you want to c*m, baby doll?” I groan against her wet lips.
“Uhu.” She whimpers.
“Then c*m for me.” I pump my finger in and out at a soft pace while I lick and suck on her c**t. She moans loudly as her cunt pulsates around my finger and her legs start to tremble. Her org*sm fades away slowly as I place soft kisses on and around her folds and I am right on time to catch her as she loses all strength in her legs and falls in my lap. She buries her face in my neck, still panting, and I hold her tight against me.
“Did I convince you?” I smile as she lifts her head to look at me.
“I don’t think I can handle such torture again so I’m not going to give you another chance to convince me of something.” She glares at me before we both burst out laughing. Suddenly she presses her lips on mine and moves over me so she’s straddling me. I open my mouth and our kiss is getting heated. Her fingers are pulling on my hair and my hands are kneading her breasts once again. She’s grinding against the bulge in my sweatpants, making it even harder then it is already. Then my phone rings and we pull away from each other. I grab my phone out of my pocket and see that it’s Jared.
“Everything alright, Jared?” I say.
“Not really. Is Nora up already? Eliza just woke up and she’s very disoriented and panicking.” I hear him say.
“We’re coming.” I say bluntly and hang up.
“Come on. Eliza needs you downstairs.” I look at Nora. She nods and she hops off my lap immediately. She walks into the bedroom and I get up from the bathroom floor. I find her putting on her jeans and buttoning down my shirt she’s still wearing. She turns around and chuckles.
“What’s wrong?” I give her a confused look.
“Maybe you should change your pants.” She points at my sweatpants and when I look down I see a wet spot, probably a mix of her and my fluids.
“You’re right.” I laugh and switch the pants into a pair of black sweatpants. I put on some loafers and hand her a pair of bathroom slippers. I quickly put on a white t-shirt before we head off downstairs to Jared’s loft.
