Page 47 of His Obsession Her Cure
“Take your dick lil baby. Make me cum,” Gunner commanded. Holding on to his shoulders for support I rocked my hips bounced my ass up and down going all the way to the tip of the dick and dropping back down, taking him deeper each time. Before long, my pussy rained down all over him. The water splashed around us as I rode Gunner like a mechanical bull.
“That’s it lil baby, fuck me. Cum all over your dick.”
Our moans and grunts were our love language as Gunner held my hips and let me fuck him into oblivion and when my pussy spasmed and pulsed from the orgasm that ripped through my body. Gunner fucked me through it and into his own, thrusting deep into me from the bottom. Holding me so close to him I could feel his rapid heartbeat as if it were my own. We professed our love to each other as his dick pulsed in the deepest parts of me. This is where I belonged in the arms of the man I loved, and this is where I would stay.
I hadn’t felt peace like this in years. Gunner was right, he and Samuel, as it turns out, had helped clean up everything that had happened. The girl that I attacked ended up disappearing without a trace and the Dean never even sent me so much as an email about the incident. It was as if it never even happened. The students that were in the library didn’t even seem interested in what had happened either, which was weird, but I figured it had to do with the finals. Samuel had also had a change of heart and started coming back around. I spoke with Gunner about it, and he said anyone that would help protect his wife was cool with him.
Since the incident at school, I’ve been spending most of my time at Gunners, wrapped up in his arms or studying in the family room. I still didn’t work so it was the perfect balance of work and play. Char had been staying here as well, not only because of Alestar but because she wanted to be close to me, which I loved. She was my person, and nothing had changed between us after she saw me covered in the blood of an enemy. This family had showered me with love, loyalty and protection. They did not play about me and in turn I didn’t play about them. I had tried over the past few months to find reasons to isolate myself from these people that I now consider my family, but they fought their way into my heart.
Especially Gunner, he wouldn’t let me push him away no matter how much I tried, he stayed. He was nothing like Taye, who had stoked my insecurities fueling my anxiety. Gunner helped me to embrace my main character energy and showed me how to live life with no fear of failure. It was time I gave him that same energy in return. I couldn’t keep fighting how I felt about him. My thoughts of a life with Gunner consumed me as my phone rang on the side table next to my recliner. I grabbed excitedly thinking it was Gunner and answered without looking at the number on the screen.
“Hello," I smiled into the phone.
“You really thought that you could get rid of me so easily, pretty girl.” Taye said in an icy tone. His voice sent chills through me as I thought of what to say.
How was he alive? He was dead and I was the one that had killed him. He should have been a ghost, nothing more than a phantom that haunted my nightmares.
“He was dead, we buried him.”
“Answer me Love." He said, making my skin crawl.
“Did you think I would just let you get away after what you did? I love you, Pepper.” He said, like he hadn’t been torturing me for the last five years. “But you have to be punished for what you did to me.”
“How? How could you love me after everything you’ve done to me? Does your wife know that you love me?” I asked smugly without fear. “What about your kids? Do they know?”
“Oh, I see, you got a little freedom now and you forgot who the fuck you’re dealing with. I see, but I can definitely rectify that shit. You have seventy-two hours to bring your motherfucking ass home or I’m coming to get you. And what you did to me will be a dream compared to what I’ll do to you and your new little family. Maybe I’ll take your friend Charlotte or maybe her grandmother. What’s her name Ms. Mamie or would she let me call her Ma?”
“No!” I gasped.
“Yeah, that’s right. You thought I didn’t know about Charlotte and her grandmother. Bitch I know everything. So, like I said, you have seventy-two hours. Or I will show you better than I can tell you. Remember pretty girl I love you to death. See you soon, love.” He said before the line went dead.
I hadn’t even noticed the tears of anger that were rolling down my face until I saw them dripping onto the phone I was holding too tightly in my hand. Fuck, how did he find me, I wascareful. I erased all my text threads and call logs between me and Char or the school. I even dropped the phone he got me in the toilet before I left home. Damn, I even reset my laptop to factory settings so he wouldn’t find a record of my application or registration to BU. I tried to rack my brain as the tears poured down my face, blurring my vision.
I can’t have anything, I was just starting to feel like I could be happy here.
“We can have it all. If I have to burn that bastard to ashes, he will not take this from us. I’ll fix it. Pepper, I promise.”
Char and Ma had taken me in and shown me the love and kindness that I had always been starved of from my actual family. And then there was Gunner who had made me feel safe and cared for. He spoiled me and loved me. He loved me, the thought, making me cry harder. Not because I was sad but because of what I knew we would have to do to keep what we were building here. I could be vulnerable here and I could finally open up and let go of my feeling of abandonment and neglect.
I had to leave. I couldn’t let the monsters from my life hurt the people I loved. I had to do this for them. I knew if I stayed, they would be put in a position to try and fix my mess. I couldn't stand the chance of them getting hurt. Taye was crazy and he’d kill anyone that tried to stop him from getting what he wanted. He used to remind me that if he couldn’t have me then no one could. Someone once said that looking away from the monster didn’t make it less real. Well, I was about to go home and show Taye that I was the monster that hid in the shadows of his nightmare.
I could no longer live in fear of being seen. No matter how much I want to stay here and live a better life; I had to do this for my family. I couldn’t let anyone hurt them, not for me. I would handle this myself. I would use some of the money Gunner had put in my account to get a ticket home, but first I needed to letChar and Ma know how much I appreciated them for taking me in and giving me change at a new life. So, I left my little study nook, heading to the office to grab a piece of stationary. I knew if I sent a text or called, they would try and stop me. But if I left a note I could be gone before they realized I was missing. I hoped Gunner would forgive me for leaving before we could explore this thing between us. He didn’t deserve to deal with the drama of my past. It would be better this way with me gone he could find someone that could give him the love he was looking for. I was too damaged. It was too late for me. I’m sure he would be better off.
Chapter 20
Taye
All it took was a DM from a scored woman to find out where Pepper had been hiding. Missy hopped in my messages looking for dirt on Pepper. From what she said she thought I was either dead or missing after finding the article about my disappearance. I was gonna ignore her at first but when she shared a picture of Pepper smiling with another nigga I knew it was time for me to get her back. Charm and a few well placed compliments later and I had Missy under my spell just like every other bitch I fucked with. And as long as she didn’t see my new face she would stay that way. She was even dumb enough to trust me when I said I would help her get revenge for what Pepper and that nigga did to her.
Without her I would have never been able to find my love. It wasn’t like Pepper was making it easy to track her down. She had deleted all her socials. Got rid of the phone I bought her and reset her laptop when she left. I tried everything I could do to find my girl after I woke up in the woods alone and covered in damp earth. At first, I couldn’t believe she tried to take me out but when I thought back on it. I had handled Pepper all wrong. I should have kept her so drugged up on psych meds she couldbarely think without me. I had given her too much freedom and in the end, I had paid for it.
Pepper was mine and I was determined to get her back. I didn’t waste all that time training her to be the ultimate submissive to have her run off into the arms of another man. I would kill them both first. She belonged to me and with me is where she would remain. I was so excited about her arrival my dick was hard. I couldn’t wait to sink back inside the pussy I had cultivated so long. But first she had to be punished. Not too severely of course I wouldn’t want to hurt my property. I had paid the ultimate price for my love.
The only thing that was left was to figure out how long it would take to break her back down to my will. Once she was sufficiently broken, I could put the final stage of my plan into motion. I’m sure it would be difficult for her to adjust at first, but we will get there. She would remember her place and act accordingly and so would everyone else. I had to remember to check Tyron about his role in helping her escape. He couldn’t possibly think that I didn’t know he had a guilty conscience and decided to step in and help her get away from me. I wonder if he had gone as far as to help bury me? He would pay for his intrusion as soon as I had her back securely in my arms.
She sent me her flight details an hour after I called her. I appreciated that she didn’t make me prove my love to her. I had too much going on as it was to come all the way to Brookview to catch a few murder charges. But I would. It was time Pepper brought her home and this time she would be locked away where she belonged in a prison of my design that only I could access.
The roar of noise in the airport washed over me as I sat in the mist of luggage wheels scraping, kids crying, and impromptu family reunions. To them, it was just another night but to me, it was the beginning of our new life. I stood by the windows at the gate, hood low and cap pulled down. My reflection barelylooked like me anymore. Scars crawled down my cheek, jagged reminders of the knife she dragged over my skin. I was left with missing back teeth and fragile ribs that hadn’t healed quite right. Pepper had carved me into a new man.
