Chapter 9 Hide And Seek

Fuck...? Where do I hide?...? I am so dead...Ya...Vic is ripping my head off today. I have laid my greedy little paws on his little princess, and I am going to pay.? I need to get these pants on and find a closet fast...? So I scope out the room and find the best place I can find...that huge walk-in closet of hers...? I make a somewhat nervous dash with shorts and underwear in hand...? Trinity grabs a bathrobe and quickly covers what was nearly mine if her goddamn father did not come and spoil my fun...? Once I am neatly hidden behind a bunch of fur coats, she goes to open the door with a rather flushed face...? "Hey, daddy."? "Hey, my little princess. Did you make it home safe?"? "Yes, that man is the rudest asshole I have ever met."? "Well, that is just how he is. He is a nice guy if you just give him a chance."? I nearly choke myself as I burst out in hysterical inner laughter...? Ya, right, Vic? Just keep on telling yourself that...? But this girl is really trying to plead with her father and it breaks my heart. I can hear the strain in her voice as she speaks...? "Daddy, I don't know about this. I do not want to marry that man."? "Trinity, I am afraid that you have to."? "But I have met..."? Oh god, please don't say it...? If she is about to say what she wants to say, I might just step out of the closet and present myself for the beating that I shall be receiving. But thank the pope, Vic does not listen as he always does...? "Trinity, this is just business."? "That is not what he says."? "He likes playing games, especially when it comes to a woman, and I am even afraid to say that he shall have other women even when he is married to you."? But then I hear her push on; she has got this thing in her head that her father will consider to let us be together? Not a chance...? But the next two sentences will probably be the worst that I shall hear in a while; which one is the greatest depends on which side you are standing from. So her dad gives her the messed up one first...? "Karlo has just phoned me; he wants to move up the wedding."? What...The...Fuck...? I hear an awful sound coming from the bedroom...Ya...Trinity is throwing a tantrum. This is the worst I have ever heard of them...The girl is pissed...? "I am not marrying that asshole."? "Trinity, you will do as I say, do you understand me?"? "I do not want to step up one day and be with a man that makes my skin crawl. Why can't I be with someone like Colton?"? Did she just say that? Did she just really say my name? Oh, Vic is so ripping off every part that can possibly give his little princess any pleasure...? But wait...Vic did not hear her. She is screaming at the top of her lungs and is mumbling her words...? So he asks her to repeat herself...? "What did you say?"? "I. Said. Am. Not. Marrying. Karlo."? "You will! End of story! Now I need you to go fetch the cake for your mother's birthday.".? "Oh, are you finally letting me out by myself?"? "No, I am looking for Colton. Have you seen him?"? Then I nearly strangle myself, for this girl has balls, or she just has a death wish for me...Yes...Wait for it...? "He is in my closet."? "Trinity, this is no time for making jokes. If you see him, tell him that I am looking for him."? I hear her huff as her father finally makes his way out of the room...? Next thing she is running into the closet and seeking the very thing that will give her comfort...my arms...? "Colton, this is a nightmare; what am I going to do?"? "Princess, I can think of only one thing that I want to do to him."? "Colton, you can't kill the man."? "Ya...I can...for you; I will kill him twice..."? (Holy shit) Did I just say that?...? I am getting soft...? Okay, maybe not that...? She is running her nails agonizingly slow over each crack and crevice of my rippled abs...Ya, I am hard...? Then she drives me into the wall behind us...and...Oh my god...I can only muster one word...? "Princess."? And there goes my pants again...? "Colton."? Ya...we cannot form sentences...? She drops her bathrobe, revealing that gorgeous body that I have been able to see so many times but never have I really taken it for myself.? But that is about to change...? Or so I think...? For then, her father comes back...? "Trinity, are you decent?"? "No, daddy, I am about to get something onto me."? I raise my eyebrows at her, and she just wickedly smiles back at me.? "Vixen."? "Ssshhh."? I grab her by the ass, and she squeals...? "Hey!"? "Ssshhh."? But this is actually not a joke; Vic is only standing a few feet away. And when he speaks, it sounds like he is even closer...? "Before you leave with Colton, please come see me in the office regarding your engagement party."? (What?!) …TRINITY POV…? What did my dad just say? I swear I heard an engagement party? I get engaged to Karlo Castaneda? That will be the day. I am just about to storm into that room and throw a fit past seven Sundays.? But in front of me is standing a man that now truly looks defeated. Only but a day ago he said that he can't be with me and know he has just found out that he is really never going to be now? I cup my face in my hands...but he smiles...nothing will get him under...? "I guess I need to go get dressed and hear what your father wants."? "Please don't go yet."? "Princess, I have to go; you know how he gets if you keep him waiting."? "But I will see you just now again?"? "Ya bet your ass you will."? He turns to leave the closet, but before he walks out the door, he turns around and smiles at me...? "Don't wear any panties."? "Colton!"? "See you later, princess."? With that, he slips out the door; I wait a minute and watch as he walks outside...Dad did not kill him...Not today...? After having a quick shower and washing Karlo Castaneda off me, I head downstairs to my dad's office to go discuss this exciting party that he has arranged for me without asking.? As I walk in, Colton walks out. He slowly looks me up and down and develops a somewhat satisfied smile on his face...? Then wham...? He slaps my ass...? "Colton!"? "Morning, Trinity."? "You are going to pay for that."? "Oh, I am counting on that."? I watch as he walks off...Damn that ass is tight ... I shake my head, dizzy to snap out this Colton-trance that I am in...I step into my dad's office, where he is waiting...? "Come sit down, Trinity."? "Is it that serious?"? "Listen, the turf war might not be over soon, so Karlo and I have agreed that if you get engaged now, then we can start to join ranks."? "How soon is now?"? "After your mom's birthday."? His words knock me; my mom's birthday is only three days away... Does this mean...? "Must I go live with him?"? "I told him that I would only allow that if Colton can go with. I do not trust your life with any other man."? "What did he say?"? "Well, obviously, he hates it. So you shall be going there at least one day a week for now."? "Will Colton come with me?"? "He said he would. Colton is putting his life on hold for you; I don't know why, but please do not try to get away from him while you are with Karlo. Karlo will kill him."? "Thank you, daddy."? "Now scoot off and go fetch that damn cake."? It is with mixed emotions that I leave the office...What am I going to do now?? …COLTON POV…? When she turns that corner, my heart goes...Boom...it pops right out of my chest. Damn, she looks good enough to eat up...As she spins that ass around the corner, that skirt flairs ups, and all I can see is...yum...? It takes Alexa to slap me from my trance...? "Colton, you are going to give yourself a heart attack."? "Oh...she is giving me a heart attack."? "I know she can be a handful."? "I would say she is a little bit more."? Alexa smiles and winks at me, then she comes a little bit closer and slaps me with this...? "I know about you two."? "What? How? When?"? "Don't you worry, just look after her. Her dad will come around...eventually."? "Ya...I am just hoping it is not too late. I don't want to see her marrying that Castaneda."? "Over my dead body will she. Now go pick up that damn cake that Vic is going on about."? I whistle at an amazed Trinity, and that comes with all smiles to join me...But...? Both our smiles are fake...? "Are you ready, princess?"? "I did not know you can whistle."? "All real men know how to whistle."? She smiles again, and I know exactly what she is thinking...It is rather large...rather hard...and somewhat throbbing...and it was in her hand this morning? But what I say next makes her a little nervous...? "I just want to make a stop at my place to sort a rather pressing situation out."? "What pressing situation?"? "You will see."
