Alexander, Kortny - Love, Interrupted (Siren Publishing Classic) Page 12

  Raiden realized that Hitomi was still a little weak in the knees from her orgasm, so he cupped her ass and picked her up. Hitomi simultaneously wrapped her legs around him as he walked the few steps to the bed and laid her down. He quickly undressed and slid onto the bed with her. Ripping the thin strap of cloth she called panties, Raiden tossed them to the floor. Her sweet, musky scent filled his senses. He was dying to taste her.

  She pushed Raiden onto his back and climbed on top of him. She flirtatiously rubbed her wet pussy on his stomach as she coated his face with butterfly kisses. Nibbling at his ear, she murmured, “I love you more than you know. Remember that.” She trailed her tongue down the side of his neck, making her way to his hard nipples. She pinched both at the same time.

  Raiden hissed at the pleasure that soared through his body. He stared at her, hoping she would do it again. “I’m going to flip you over if you keep doing that, woman.”

  Gently grabbing hold of his nipples, she teased him. “Behave or you don’t get your present.” She narrowed her eyes at him, still teasing him. “Do you want your present, Raiden?”

  Raiden was not above begging. He was all about the “by whatever means necessary” motto. “Please, baby, I want my present.” He smiled lazily at her, completely turned on. The anticipation of what was coming next was making his cock pulsate harder.

  “Good boy.” She smirked as she finally let go of his nipples and lightly traced her nails down his chest, stomach, bypassing the fire that was his cock, and on to his thighs.

  Moving her body backwards, situated between his thighs, she caressed his cock with the back of her hand. Raiden flinched at the touch. She slowly took him into her mouth as far as possible, getting his cock nice and wet. Putting her hand to her mouth, she formed an O, moving up and down his cock and twisting her hand in opposite directions.

  “Oh baby, that feels so good,” he muttered.

  She tightened her hand and continued to move up and down as she lowered her head and licked his sac. That earned her louder moans from Raiden as he placed his hands on either side of her shoulders and tried to pull her off of him.

  Hitomi whined as he tried to remove her hot, wet mouth.

  Raiden choked as he spoke. “Baby, you have to let go. We haven’t made love in two days. I won’t last very long…but you know that already. I want to come inside of you.”

  “Fine.” She reluctantly let go of his cock and pouted.

  “Come here, big baby,” he jokingly replied as he sat up and reached out for her. “Wrap your legs around my waist. I want to take my time.” She nodded her head and scooted up to him, her heat hovering right above his cock. The lusty look of desire on her face was one he adored. Her lids were heavy as she watched him from under her lashes, and her lips were swollen. “Baby, I need you. Slide down on my cock. He missed you, too.” He smirked.

  Hitomi did as told. She slowly slid down on top of his cock, adjusting to him as his thick cock stretched her. “Mmmm. I missed him, too.”

  He held her at the waist as he began to move in and out of her at a slow and steady pace. Controlling her movements was necessary or he would be finished before they began. “Kiss me,” he whispered. She wrapped her arms around his neck and traced his lips with her tongue before kissing him. As they continued to move in unison, building up the fire that was brewing between them, their kiss deepened, became more passionate. They moved as if they were determined to meld their love, their souls. Their tongues danced and teased each other as Raiden’s grip on her waist tightened.

  “Raiden.” Her breathing became shallow.

  He thrust harder, but it wasn’t enough. He had to have more of her. Raiden wrapped his hands firmly around her as he rolled them over, lying Hitomi on her back. He didn’t have to worry about his cock coming out. Her pussy sucked him tight like a kung fu grip. Hitomi continued to thrust her hips forward, trying to pull him in deeper. Raiden grabbed her legs as he spoke. “Put your legs on my shoulders, baby. I need to be deeper inside you. This isn’t enough.”

  Hitomi gave a low growl, surprising Raiden as he grabbed her ankles and kissed her legs as he thrust harder.

  “More. Baby, I need more.”

  “Okay.” Raiden smiled down at her. They were thinking the same way. He grabbed her hips and slowly pulled back until only the tip of his cock was inside of her, then pressed forward hard and fast. Never losing momentum, he continued this movement as Hitomi moaned and began to grind her pussy harder on him.

  “Harder.” She was breathless as she continued. “Fuck me harder.”

  Raiden nodded and stopped moving.

  “Wh–What are you d…?”

  He put his hand over her mouth. His light brown eyes seemed darker as he stared at her. “You want it harder.” It wasn’t a question. “Grab that pillow…you’ll need it.”

  Hi stared with hesitation and excitement in her eyes. She never took her eyes off of him as she quickly reached for the pillow. “What will I need this for?”

  Arching an eyebrow at her, he said, “Hmmm…you’ll figure it out.” Not waiting for a response, he rose to his haunches, pushed her legs out to her sides, scooted closer to her, and growled low and hard as he looked at how wet she was. Hitomi watched intently. Grasping her thighs firmly, he attacked her pussy with an urgency. Filling her to the hilt with his cock, he watched her put the pillow over her mouth to muffle her screams of passion. The only other sound heard above her muffled screams was the smacking of their sweaty bodies as he thrust deeper, harder, and faster. Giving them both exactly what they wanted, needed.

  The screams faded as a long, low moan began to build and grow at a fast pace. Hitomi was still thrusting her hips. He could still feel her pussy spasm around his dick, and it wasn’t slowing down like they had, it was increasing once again. They way she clenched at him every time he pulled out was painfully delicious. He could never deny her.

  Raiden could barely hold on to her as she began to fling her hips off of the bed. Moving to his knees to keep up with his wild woman, he managed to cup her ass, leaving only her shoulders touching the bed.

  “Come.” Raiden couldn’t think straight, barely hanging on. “Fuck.” He hissed. Their bodies were covered in sweat. Raiden realized he was no longer leading the train.

  Hitomi was fucking the shit out of him.

  “Oh…it’s com…yea…Ra…oohhhh!” Hitomi was incoherent and panting. She grabbed the pillow and screamed.

  She pulled at the pillow at both ends so hard as she came Raiden heard it rip. That didn’t stop her. It wasn’t just a strong orgasm. It was long and strong. If Raiden hadn’t been holding her so tight, she would have flung off the bed.

  Raiden kept moving faster, deeper, and harder. He couldn’t hold back any longer. His cock was on fire, and he felt as if he were a volcano. “Hi…baby.” She locked eyes with him as they rode out their orgasms.

  Untwining their bodies, no words were spoken as they lay their wet bodies under the covers, still panting. Raiden pulled her back to his front and fell asleep. Managing to make love one more time in the early morning hours, they showered together and changed Hi’s sheets.

  “The sun is coming up, Hi. I better go get into my bed before Kimi wakes up. I’m sure I won’t be able to sleep with you lying next door.” He smiled as he cupped her face and kissed her gently. Rubbing her hair back off of her face, he pulled her to his chest. He loved holding her tight.

  “I will be awake if you can’t sleep. We can always lie on the sofa a watch a movie until we fall asleep from exhaustion.”

  Neither of them attempted to move. It was obvious they did not want to leave each other’s side. He was glad he wasn’t the only one that had felt that way.

  Hitomi pulled back and looked up at Raiden. “Come on, babe.” She giggled and reached for his hand as she walked to her door. “What movie do you want to watch?”

  Raiden chuckled and threaded his fingers through hers. “We are pathetic.”

  “No, babe, we�
��re in love.”

  Chapter 14

  Hitomi had followed the breadcrumbs the thief unknowingly left behind until she hit a brick wall. She had a knack for knowing where to look. It was almost like putting a puzzle together. You just had to know where the pieces fit together. This was one of Hitomi’s areas of extreme expertise. Until she hit that damn wall.

  The person working for Raiden, who in turn was stealing from him, had been extremely sloppy. Then his actions had all but vanished. He left a false clue here and there but never allowed a person to get too close to the truth. When Raiden had given her total access to the company’s records, she immediately started with the employees. There were over one hundred names to dig through. Her expertise in this area was kept strictly confidential. It was the only way to keep the criminal unaware of what she was looking for.

  Running social security numbers of each employee was tedious but necessary. You never knew what an employee could have gotten into after the first background check during their initial hire date. And once she discovered there was only one employee contracted to work from home, red flags immediately went up. The job title was exactly the same as another employee who worked in the building and also shared the same last name.

  Not one to believe in coincidences when it came to missing money, Hitomi was like a bloodhound—well, more like a bloodhound with nowhere to go. Apparently, Boyd Johnson decided to stop being sloppy. The trail all but disappeared.

  That’s when she put a call in to Stacey. She could type her ass through just about any code and backdoor. The woman could out-hack a hacker, all courtesy of her now ex-husband. Stacey was always the absolute last resort and worth her hefty fee. That’s why Hitomi was grinning when Stacey had returned three hours after getting settled into one of Hitomi’s conference rooms with Raiden’s files to let her know she’d found the money and thief.

  “Okay, Hitomi, Raiden has a clever little thief on his hands. Too bad he couldn’t outsmart me.” Stacey took a seat in front of Hitomi’s desk, smiling like a kid in the candy store.

  “Good grief, Stacey, you couldn’t at least make me think you were working hard for your fee? You know, take a little longer. Make me feel good about my skills. Act like it was a little trivial for you.” Hitomi shook her head as she grinned at Stacey. She knew how Stacey operated. Hell, once Stacey realized her husband’s daily patterned changed, she found out the hotel he was using, found the secret credit card he was using, learned of the other woman’s name and address, and pulled a copy of her driver’s license. She never left the house to find any of this. From the desk in the bedroom they shared, she quietly built her ammunition for the divorce she was going file.

  “You know once I get going, Hitomi, I can’t stop.”

  “All right, let me have it, Stacey.” Hitomi sat up straight and slowly let the smile fade from her face. She knew the now serious look on Stacey’s face meant it was fun for her but a punch in the gut to Raiden.

  “It seems that Raiden’s human resources supervisor has several talents. You found only one theft and thought there was more, right?”

  “Yes, that’s correct. It was like the connection damn near disappeared every time I thought I had something.”

  “That’s because the genius knew what he was doing. The path was easy enough to follow, but I guess he got smart and clever. Or at least he tried to. But you were on the right track about the two men being possibly related.” Stacey pulled out a few sheets of paper and laid them in front of Hitomi. She then walked around the desk to point out the path the thief took. “Here’s how he did it, Hitomi. Since Boyd Johnson handled the paperwork for his department, he managed to add his deceased brother to Raiden’s employee pool right along with a fictitious second cleaning service for the company. The checks were direct deposit, which of course requires no signature. The address on all paperwork for the cleaning company is a post office box that he has keys to.”

  “Damn, Stacey, how the hell did you do this in three hours? Hell, it took me a few weeks just to find what little I did manage to uncover.” Hitomi smiled as she looked at her. She knew Stacey was good, but she never really wanted to know how she managed to access all the information she uncovered. Just cut the check and be overjoyed that she did.

  “Now Hitomi, I know that was a rhetorical question. Oh, before I forget, here’s Boyd Johnson’s real address, driver’s license picture, as well as the make and model and license plate number of the car he drives. It also includes the banks and account numbers he used to steal the money from Raiden. And it looks like he never even touched the money. It’s all still there.”

  “Wow! I’m paying you extra just for that.” She stood and walked Stacey to the elevators. “What I don’t understand is why he didn’t spend it. What was he planning on doing with it?” Raiden would be ready to kill when she told him everything that had been uncovered.

  Stacey gave Hitomi a quick hug and stepped onto the elevator. She pushed the button to hold the doors open. “Hitomi, you never asked how much Boyd Johnson stole. Considering what you told me, I don’t think Raiden really knew how much was stolen either.”

  “Crap! I was so wrapped up in the unveiling and quickness of your findings, I totally forgot. How much?”

  “Three and a half million dollars.”

  * * * *

  “What the hell? What was he planning on doing with my money?” Raiden paced back and forth in his office. He had cancelled the rest of his appointments when Hitomi had shown up unexpectedly. He hadn’t braced himself for this. There were phone calls he needed to make and get that piece of shit out of his building.

  Raiden had been patient while waiting for Hitomi to try and find his money. She had already explained to him that it could be a possibility that she wouldn’t be able to find it. He, in return, told her that he would pay whatever was necessary to find his money. He was grateful that Hitomi, her company, and Stacey were able to find his money. All three and a fucking half a million dollars.

  “I will let you get to whatever it is you need to in order to get this situation under control. I leave for Japan in the morning. You’re still coming over tonight, right?”

  “Of course.” Raiden kissed her on the cheek and walked Hitomi to the elevator. “I will see you in a few hours. I have some calls to make.”

  * * * *

  Hitomi couldn’t stop smiling as she rolled her bags to the front door. She always looked forward to seeing her godfamily, and the party the family threw for her godfather was always indescribable. But that wasn’t where the smile was coming from this time. Last night, Raiden strolled in as if a weight had been lifted, and they had a wonderful night together. Raiden eased all of her questions by telling her that his lawyers were handling “Boyd Thieving-Ass Johnson,” and all was well. With that taken care of, they had rushed through dinner to get to dessert.

  The trip to Japan was going to be a week-long party fest, and Hitomi thought she had better check her e-mails and send Heather another one containing her contact information in Japan. Once she finished responding to her e-mails, Hitomi gathered her things in anticipation of the driver who was to take her to the airport. An envelope slipped out of her purse when she yanked it hastily. Investigating the contents of the envelope, her heart raced when she realized it was a letter from Raiden.

  Dear Hitomi,

  I will miss you while you are away. I hope you enjoy your visit and make it back home to me safely. Last night was wonderful, just like any other time we get to spend together. I love you and can’t wait to have you in my arms again. I’m yours forever or for as long as you will have me. You bring out the mushy side of me, sweetheart. I want to be with you, spend the rest of my life with you, and have beautiful children with you so our little Kimi isn’t alone. I love you.

  Raiden

  The letter fell from her hands as she began to cry. They were not tears of joy, more like fear. Things were great with just the three of them. Why did Raiden have to go and ruin her happiness by
wanting more children? There was only one way to handle this situation. She knew this relationship couldn’t go any further, especially if she could not give Raiden what he wanted. That letter was another reminder of how broken and defective she was as a woman. Hitomi knew she needed to end this relationship with Raiden as soon as possible before they got hurt anymore than they already had. There was no way in hell she was going through that type of pain and loss ever again. This trip came just in time.

  Unfortunately for Hitomi, she wouldn’t get a chance to think about how to end her relationship with Raiden. When her driver pulled up to the curbside check-in at the airport, Raiden was waiting for her with hot drinks in hand. She had told him that she was being driven to the airport and did not need him there to keep her company. He clearly chose to ignore her request. Although she had to admit the gesture was sweet, after reading his letter, she was not prepared to see him.

  “Damn, he just forced my hand. Might as well deal with this now. The sooner the better for us both,” she mumbled to herself before getting out of the car.

  Hitomi had come to accept living in a world of what will never be instead of living in a world of what could be. No matter what her dreams showed her, she chose to accept the fact that the future Raiden wanted with her wasn’t possible. Accepting the hot green tea from Raiden, they checked her bags at the curbside check-in and went inside the airport.

  It wasn’t difficult for Raiden to find a quiet place to talk inside the airport. It was early in the morning, and they sat in one of the airport restaurants not eating the breakfast they had ordered. Despite the wonderful night they had shared, Hitomi was indifferent and distant. His intense gaze made her uncomfortable. She looked away. She felt as if she allowed him to stare hard enough, he would unveil all of her secrets, and she just wasn’t ready for that. She could feel her eyes begin to water.
