C12 Chapter 12

She listened to him breathing and to his heartbeat. She felt torn. She hadn’t known a man like Zane in a long time. But from when she had first been informed about him and come into this town and watched him, she had felt an ache in her heart. An ache she hadn’t known since she had first laid eyes on her daughter’s father all those years before. She had known what she was coming to do here. Had been promised this was her last job. Then they would let her go. Let her daughter go and she would be free. With a handsome payoff to boot and even funding for a non-profit organization to help street kids without having to employ them to pack or push drugs on the street.

In her heart, she agreed with Zane. He was right. Even though she hadn’t started outright and had been peddling marijuana to begin with, she had never intended to do it this long. It had never been meant to be a way to make a living but rather a temporary to an end.

And then? Then she had run afoul of the law. Not in the usual sense that a criminal runs afoul of the law. More like it, she ran foul of the foul law...

A bunch of corrupt cops who had the power to high levels in the police force. A network of corrupt cops that would stop at nothing to build a wide distribution network for drugs supplied by the drug cartels in Central America.

She had been caught and forced to become a tool. She had last seen her daughter when she had finished the last town.

And they had promised her Hurstville was the last. Zane was the problem. They didn’t believe he would ever be turned. And so they planned to remove him. Discredit him and see him dishonorably discharged from the force. Then Hurstville would be theirs. They would vote for a new chief and the way would be paved to extend their distribution highway across America.

Zane lay quietly feeling her on top of him. He enjoyed her scent and her warm, naked skin against his. He felt the sweat from the heat of their bodies against each other, trickle down his sides onto the bedsheet. He felt the softness of her breasts pressed against him and her hair as it tickled his lips.

He wondered that she was suddenly so quiet. Perhaps she had fallen asleep he thought.

“Hope?”

“Mmmm?” she answered.

“You okay?”

“Mmm-hmm,” she sounded not saying anything.

“Can you release me now?”

“Sshhhh,” was all she said. She didn’t move for some time still but finally, she pushed up on his chest. She looked down at him with a hint of a smile.

“Are you going to arrest me?” she asked.

“Nahhh Hope. I don’t think so.”

She studied his face looking for a sign that he was lying. She couldn’t see any.

“I think I prefer you like this though,” she said smiling.

“Why?”

“Because I’ve got all your attention.”

“You’ve always got all my attention.”

“Really?”

“How do you think I ended up in this situation in the first place?” he murmured with a hint of a smile.

“Oh yes. That’s true,” she smiled. She paused then added, “But still. Let’s talk like this.”

“I am going to spank your ass again,” he said.

“I hope you can do it with your legs,” she smiled.

“Very funny,” he growled.

She was quiet and studied his face. It was a kind face and his blue eyes were two pools of calm that she could lose herself in. She realized she had started to develop feelings for Zane. He didn’t deserve what was coming. She wanted to believe somehow that he could stop this but he was alone. How could he stop this all on his own? The people she worked for had more power than he did.

“I like you,” she murmured.

“Like me enough to stop doing what you’re doing?”

She smiled but said nothing as she looked into his eyes.

“I like you too, Hope. But I’ve worked too damn hard all my life to get tangled up with someone pushing small-time drugs on a large scale. It’s not worth it and it’s not worth what it’s going to cost me in terms of my career. Right now I’m in about as much trouble as you for just sleeping with you and not arresting you.”

“Were you a willing participant?” she smiled.

“You know I was. If I had to plead otherwise it wouldn’t help. I assure you.”

“I can’t leave this Zane. I want to but I can’t. I don’t have a choice.”

“Bullshit. Everyone’s got a choice.”

“Yes, they do. But sometimes the choice we would like to make is the wrong choice at that moment in time. So we have to make the choice we don’t want to make.”

“What power do they have over you?”

“They promised me this is the last city. Then I’m done. Free.”

“What’s so important about this city for them?”

“I don’t know. What’s important to me is that this is my last job for them if you can call it that.”

“You think so? You really think so? You think they’re going to let you go?”

“I have a plan to guarantee it.”

“Really? You’re one woman against a whole gang I’m guessing. Never mind the fact that they surely must have ties to some or other mafia. You screw with them you’re as good as dead.”

“And my chances with one small city police chief are any better? What chance do you have? There are corrupt cops involved too. When are there never corrupt cops involved?”

“Corrupt? In my city? On my staff? Never!” he paused then and decided to check with her. “Unless you know differently that is? Do you? Are there corrupt cops that you know of on my force?”

Hope was silent a moment, then shook her head, “None that I know of. If there were, I don’t think the tip-off you got about me would have made it to you. It would simply have ended up in a trash bin or I would have had a warning and been gone when you arrived.”

Zane studied her face, long and hard wondering if he could, or even should believe her. His arms were getting tired tied to the bed and he told her as much. She finally relented and untied him. He sat up against the headboard and she sat on the bed facing him.

“What do they want you to do?”

“Set up drug supply and dealing on a large scale here.”

“So do it. Keep me posted every step of the way. I can let the FBI know I have an informant and we can end this network for good. You can get immunity and for your helping the law and when it’s all over we can be together.”

Hope looked at Zane silently, saying nothing.

He saw a longing in her eyes, a yearning. A yearning that what he said could or might be the truth. A yearning to believe him. To believe that what he offered was possible. Then her mouth tightened and she looked away out the window.

When she looked back her eyes were bright as if she had blinked away tears.

She smiled wistfully and moved closer to him. She pressed her finger against his lips. “Let’s just have now. Right now,” she whispered, and then she leaned forward and kissed him.

He did not resist as she brought her lips close to his. He felt her warm breath on his lips, smelt it, tasted it. He closed his eyes and felt her lips brush his. Soft. Warm. She kissed him again. Then again. Harder. She sucked his lip into her mouth and bit it gently.

Their tongues mingled, exploring and then their kiss deepened as they locked their mouths together. Zane moved his hands up and found Hope’s naked skin. Goosebumps rose as he stroked his fingers over her skin.

She traced her fingers over his chest and his stomach. His breath hitched as he sucked in air from the sensations she created just with her touch.

‘Then she broke their kiss and moved down. She quickly took his still soft cock in her mouth and began to suck him. He felt his erection growing in her warm moist mouth. He stroked her hair as he moaned and she sucked him more and more vigorously.

Then finally he decided to take control. He lifted her head and kissed her again briefly before pulling her down on the bed beside him. He kissed her as he held himself over her on all fours. He moved down her body, first giving all his attention to her neck. When she tried to touch him he pushed her hands away. Then his hands found her breasts. Her nipples were pebbled and he touched them gently before taking them in his hands and alternately sucking and massaging them. Hope moaned with desire and arched her pelvis behind him as she ached for more.

Then he moved down further and positioned himself at her entrance. He slid his head up and down lubricating it with her juices and then he slid in. She moaned with ecstasy. He thrust slowly at first. Small thrusts, then harder. Short thrusts, then longer, deeper. Hope writhed beneath him and grabbed her breasts, squeezing them hard. Then she put her

arms around him and he felt her nails clawing his back and his ass.

Hope felt herself climbing towards her orgasm. Zane’s cock was so big and buried so deep in her. She felt as if she was being impaled every time he thrust into her and she craved more. He couldn’t get deep enough into her and she locked her legs around him as well trying to give him more room inside her as she groaned. His thrusts were hitting the right

spot inside her and outside her and she quickly reached the point of no return. She screamed as her orgasm hit her. Her nails dug deeper into Zane and she squeezed as tight as she could with her thighs, clenching him between her legs.

He slowed his thrusts and when she had relaxed he withdrew. He wasn’t finished yet though. He kneeled at the edge of the bed and pulled her towards him. He buried himself between her thighs as he began to lick her. He flicked her clit with his tongue. Gentle flicks with intervals. Hope didn’t know when to expect with his tongue and found her arousal continuing to increase as each flick hit her button hinting at the pleasure she could experience.

Zane’s tongue began to rest on her button longer with each flick and then he began to circle it slowly and gently. She tried to lift herself and press against his tongue harder for more pleasure but he simply pulled away.

Then finally he closed his mouth over her clit and flicked and sucked it alternately. Hope moaned as the sensations he was creating drove her wild. She felt herself climbing to another orgasm and screamed as she reached it shortly after. But Zane wasn’t finished yet.

He continued sucking on her clit and this time inserted his tongue in her pussy scooping out her juices and covering his face with them. She had another orgasm and begged him.

“Please fuck me now!”

“On your hands and knees,” he said.

She gladly obliged, positioning herself at the edge of the bed on her hands and knees. He wasted no time and she felt the head of his cock as he rubbed it up and down her entrance, lubricating it. Then he pushed it in and grabbed her hips as he drove himself into her pussy.

She gasped as he entered her. He thrust deep into her and almost pulled out altogether before thrusting into her again. He kneaded her hips with his hands as he fucked her.

She moaned as he rode her, “Fuck me. Oh yes, oh yes! Deeper, aahhh, fuck. Just like that.”

He rode her harder and harder and deeper and deeper. He smacked her ass as he fucked her. She loved the stinging that seemed to heighten the sensation in her pussy. Then she felt him beginning to swell and she knew he was close. He began to thrust harder, faster, and even deeper until he cried out as he exploded inside her. She felt his cum explode from

his cock and quickly fill her up lubricating the walls of her pussy as he continued to drive in and out of her.

Then finally he was spent and she turned, removing his cock from her throbbing pussy. She sat on the edge of the bed, his cock in her face. Cum still oozed from his head and she looked up at him as she took him in hand and milked the last of his cum into her mouth. She swallowed and then sucked him into her mouth, tasting herself on him as she looked at

him again.

“You dirty little girl,” he growled with a smile.

“You like this dirty little girl, don’t you?” she smiled back.

“Damn right I do. I hope I see you again, Hope,” he smiled.

“Ha, ha,” she said at his poor attempt at a joke.

“And what are you going to do to me if you see me again Chief?” she teased batting her eyelids at him.

“I’m going to fuck you like you’ve never been fucked before,” he replied.

“Oh, chief. I thought you are going to arrest me,” she teased still holding his dick in her hand and gently closing her teeth over his head.

“Well, I could always arrest you first,” he smiled.

“That sounds like a very good idea,” she smiled wistfully as she let him go. “I suggest you do because there won’t be another chance. As it is, I shouldn’t be letting you walk out of here alive. But I’ll get around out at least this time but I can’t be lenient next time Zane. It’s you or me and that’s the cold, hard truth.”
