LOGIN“Naomi, who in the hell is this?” a voice asked, snapping me out of the daze I was in.
I lowered my hand from my mouth as I spun around. “Riley! This is Rip.”
“Rip?” he repeated, completely confused. “The Rip? Your father Rip?”
I nodded. “Yeah. That Rip.”
He reached out to grab my arm. “Don’t lie to me, Naomi! Who is he? He was just kissing you, and it didn’t look very fatherly!”
I yanked my arm away from him. “He’s drunk, Riley! And doesn’t recognize me! I need to get him home!”
He narrowed his eyes on me before reaching out to grab my elbow. “Get him home! Yeah, right! Is this why you won’t sleep with me? Because you’re a geezer whore?!”
I tried to pull my arm away from him again, but he didn’t let go. “Let me go, Riley! I don’t sleep around! You know that! I told you to just be patient and–”
“Patient?! Yeah right!” he sneered. “I brought you here to get you wasted so I could–”
I raised my hand and slapped him across the face. “YOU BROUGHT ME HERE SO YOU COULD FUCK ME?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!”
He shook me, hard. “You’re not even that cute,” he snarled as he threw me to the ground.Before I could move the sound of flesh hitting flesh came before Riley landed on the floor next to me. I looked up at Rip, who was shaking his fist. He kicked Riley in the shin before reaching down to pull me to my feet. As soon as I was standing by his side, he wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to his body as he glared down at Riley.
“Don’t fucking touch her! You need to learn how to treat a lady!” he spat. “Stay away from her!”
“Or what?” Riley asked angrily as he climbed back to his feet.
Rip stepped in front of me, shielding me from Riley’s furious gaze. “Or you deal with me!”
“You don’t scare me, old man! She’s mine!”
Before Rip could respond, I stepped around him to get in Riley’s face. “I don’t belong to anyone! I can do whatever I want!”
“Like old men?!” he yelled angrily.
I shoved my hands into his chest, pushing him back away from me. “If I want to, yes! It’s none of your business if I bang him. Now, I’m going to take him home and get him in bed!”
I turned around to take Rip’s arm when Riley hissed, “Don’t you mean you’re going to join him in bed?!”
I spun back around to glare at him with my hands fisted at my side. “Let me make something very clear to you, Riley,” I said furiously as I poked him in the chest. “I can do whatever I want! I’m going to give him everything you want from me! I’m going to give him my virginity! I’m going to let him stick his dick so far inside of me that I can feel his tip in the back of my throat! I’m going to let him give me hickies and fuck me until all I can do is moan his name.” I tossed my head back, laughing coldly as I put my hands on hips. “I might even suck his dick! Who knows! I’m just a geezer whore!” I reached behind me to take Rip’s hand and pulled him up beside me. “Come on. Let’s get you home.”
He glared down at Riley for a moment before putting his arm over my shoulders and guiding me out of the bar as if I were the drunk one. When he stumbled, I put my arm around his waist to get him to the car, where I got him in the passenger seat before stepping back. I shut the door before racing around to the driver’s side. As soon as I got in, I groaned as I turned toward him to find him watching me with a small smile on his face.
“What?” I asked as a blush started moving over my face.
“You’re feisty,” he mused. “I like that.”
I met his eyes for a moment before looking away, completely flustered. When I was able to think clearly again, I held my hand out.
“Give me the keys.”
He smirked at me as he leaned toward me. “Put your foot on the brake.”
I did and he pressed his finger into a button beside the steering wheel, making my eyes widen as the car purred to life.
“You don’t need the keys. You only need me,” he told me softly, and I was instantly unsure if he only meant to drive the car.
I nodded. “I do. I always have. Rip, I know you don’t want to hear it, but I’m Naomi. I’m your daughter.” I turned toward him and immediately sighed when I saw that he was asleep. “Well, fuck!” I shook him a little to rouse him. “Rip, where am I taking you?”
He yawned as he tapped on the screen a few times before laying his head back down on the seat and within seconds he was out again, making me sigh.
“Well, fuck!”
As I drove the 15 minutes to his house, I couldn’t help but keep glancing at him. I was still stunned that I had found him. I was even more stunned that he had kissed me. I knew deep down that I couldn’t let him kiss me again. No matter how much I wanted him to. Not only that, but I knew that I was going to have to deal with Riley when I got back to school. His behavior tonight was exactly what I needed to see to know that I was wasting both my time and energy on him. I also knew that he was going to be spreading it around that I went home with a strange older man. Oh well. I’d deal with that later. I needed to get Rip home first. When we finally pulled up in front of a small house, I turned the car off and hopped out to hurry around the car to help him get out. As soon as he got out, he gripped my wrist and tugged me forward, startling me enough that I fell forward into his chest. I tilted my head back and he immediately lowered his head to press his lips against mine.
Oh, God! Not again. This was bad. I needed to pull away. Why wasn’t I pulling away? Why was I opening my mouth so he could deepen the kiss? And why were my hands going under his shirt to stroke along his muscles? Fuck! I closed my eyes as I leaned against him, enjoying the kiss more than I should. When he finally pulled away, I looked up at him mesmerized by our kiss for the second time. He grinned down at me as his eyes danced merrily.
“So, were you serious about what you said?” he asked huskily, confusing me.
“What did I say?” I replied.
His hands moved down my body until his hands were gripping my ass. “You said you were going to let me have you.” When my mouth dropped open in shock, he groaned. “Or we can start with that if you prefer.”
I snapped my mouth shut when what he meant registered in my head. “Oh, God!”
He chuckled as he pulled me up his body a little so that I could feel his erection. “Say yes and I’ll make you scream that.”
“I-I…yes,” I whispered.
He let me slide back down to the ground. “Let’s go.”
He guided me inside the house, and when we got to a small bedroom, I was a little stunned that it was so small. Seeing the bed in the middle of the room made what I was about to do that much more real. I took a step back away from him as panic set in.
“Rip, wait.”
He immediately let me go, which shocked me. He really was a gentleman. He was exactly the kind of the man he wanted me to be with. Surely, he was the right choice to give myself to for the first time. He wouldn’t pressure me into anything and he would stop if I asked him too. Right? I hoped so. Making up my mind, I reached out to fist my hand in his shirt and pull him closer to me so I could kiss him. He slowly backed me up as he removed our clothes. By the time my legs hit the bed, both of us were fully naked. When his hand came up to cup my breast, I gasped as my hands flew up to his shoulders.
“Rip, wait!” He immediately pulled back again to look into my eyes. “I’m a virgin,” I blurted.
“Sure you are,” he chuckled as kissed me.
Our kiss quickly got heated and moments later I was laying on the bed with my legs spread apart. He settled between my thighs, his eyes silently asking me for confirmation that this was what I wanted. When I gave him a small nod, he thrust into me hard and I cried out as pain tore through me and my hands once again flew up to his shoulders.
“RIP! STOP!”
His eyes widened as he raised up to look down at where we were joined for a moment before meeting my eyes.
“Holy shit! You really are a virgin!”
NaomiI opened my eyes, yawning as I stretched, before I froze with my mouth hanging open. Where in the hell was I? I scrambled up out of the bed, grabbing my shoes before rushing out of the room, only to immediately draw up when I saw Phoebe’s picture on the wall across from my door. My shoulders began to relax as I started to remember why I wasn’t at home. I had spent the night talking to Phoebe about my fears and worries.I was more than a little ashamed that I had even thought for a second that Rip would hurt Becky in any way. Last night, I discovered a lot about myself, and I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to make it up to him. I sighed deeply as I bent down to put my shoes on before reaching into my pocket to pull my phone out, instantly groaning when it was at 7%. Shit! I needed to charge it. I pulled the notification bar down, smiling softly when I saw that Rip had sent me three messages. Just three.‘I love you, baby, and I’ll be waiting for you to come home. Whenever yo
They exchanged looks, and I couldn’t help the wave of excitement that moved through me as I watched them silently debate if they were going to make a run for it or not. I wanted them to try. I wanted to lay each of them out flat for even thinking about hurting my princess. As I was about to goad them into trying, the sirens were cut off, making me wonder if I had been wrong about them coming to the warehouse. Before the idiots could decide what to do, four police cars sped into the parking lot, slamming on their brakes. Within seconds, multiple officers had the group in handcuffs and were putting them in the back of the cars, while Kyle and Eric walked up to me, frowning.“Mr. Gerrett, you were told to stay away from the warehouse!” Kyle hissed at me.“I know. I was lost in my thoughts, and when I realized where I was, I was already here.” I handed him my phone. “There’s a video in there that you will want to give to the prosecutor. It will prove that they were going to abuse Becky. T
Rip (Minor Trigger Warning)After speaking with the prosecutor about making sure that Candice was removed from the picture, I still wasn’t satisfied. I was still pissed off. How dare that bitch have the nerve to come after Becky! Hadn’t she done enough damage with Naomi? As soon as the question drifted through my mind, I already knew the answer. It was never enough for her. All she cared about was money. I knew that when I divorced her. Well, I had known it longer than that, but the divorce made it even clearer. She had spent our entire marriage bitching at me about not being able to give her the life she ‘deserved’.I rolled my eyes. Yeah, the life she deserved. It was always about her, and never about Naomi. I had known that she was going to make Naomi’s life a living hell after I was out of the picture. I just hadn’t thought it would be as horrible as I now know it had been. My poor Naomi. She had been left to be tormented in ways that would haunt me until the day that I died. When
She was quiet for a moment before bumping my shoulder with her own. “This isn’t just about Becky, is it?”I sighed as I shook my head. “No. It’s not. The same person who is threatening Becky made my childhood a living hell. Thank you, by the way. Thank you and your son for protecting her. She is too pure and innocent to ever have to go through what I did. If my mother had gotten hold of her…”My voice caught on a sob that made Sarah fully turn toward me to wrap her arms around me. “Becky will always be safe with me, Naomi. Just like I know that Jessica will always be safe with you. That’s how it should be.”I smiled as I hugged her back. “Children are innocent, Sarah. Some adults don’t care, but Rip and I do. We’ve seen what it does to a child to have that innocence ripped away from them. We refuse to let that happen to Becky.”She leaned back, sniffling a little as she gazed into my eyes. “When are you two going to adopt her? She really needs that reassurance.”I swallowed hard. “The
Rip turned his head to glare at the officers. “I don’t understand how Candice is even out on the streets! Not after what she’s accused of doing!”“Well, Judge Alexander let her out on bail. We can’t do–”“Did you say Judge Alexander? As in Niles Alexander?” I asked, raising my head to look at them.They glanced at each other before sighing. “Yes, Niles Alexander. Do you know him?”I swallowed hard as I looked back up at Rip before looking at the ground. “I do know him…”His arms immediately tightened around me as Kyle asked, “How do you know him?”“He was one of the men that my mother offered me to,” I whispered as I tried to keep the tears in my eyes.“Son of a bitch,” Rip practically growled. “That judge needs to be removed from the bench and arrested!”“Yes, he does, Mr. Gerrett, and I promise you that we will. We will speak to the prosecutor and–”“No! I will speak to the prosecutor! Candice and that judge, as well as everyone else who touched Nomes and Jenny, need to be off the s
I barreled out of the door, quickly taking in the scene in front of me as I rushed down the stairs toward Becky, who was currently being dragged to a car by a strange woman, while Rip tried to get a hold of her. I ran past Simon, who was shaking his hand as he stood over a strange man who was bigger than him, to get between Becky and the car. I jumped on the woman’s back, sending her flying forward to the ground while Rip grabbed Becky to keep her from hitting the ground. I put the woman in a chokehold, while Rip handed Becky to Sarah, who protectively had Jessica behind her, so he could grab the strange man.“Simon, call the police! Naomi, how are you doing, baby?”I tightened my hold on the struggling woman beneath me as I turned to look toward Becky. “I’m alright. Becky, are you okay, sweetheart?”“I’m okay, Mommy,” she whimpered, clutching at Sarah’s pants.“YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!” Rip roared, drawing my attention to where the man was swinging at him, desperately trying to bre
