Victor's Vow, page 8
“Brought you some dinner. From the looks of things, you need it,”
he answered.
“Go home.” Charlie turned and walked away from him.
He put the food in, shut the door, and followed her out of the room,
feeling for a second like a damn lost puppy. “I’m not going home.”
“Look, Vinny, I’m at the end of my rope when it comes to all you
men. Leave before I do something that I can’t take back.”

Vinny’s Vow
“Like what?” Of all the things for her to do, tossing an already
broken lamp at him wasn’t one he’d have thought of. “Shit!” he yelled
while ducking.
“Get out!” she yelled at him.
“What the hell has gotten into you?” he asked as he glared at her.
“How about right now I just hate all men.”
“All men?”
“Yeah, all men. I don’t like you, can’t stand Levi, and I want to kill
my brother.”
“What did he do?” Vinny made his way to the chair and sat down.
“Wh—no! Don’t sit down. Leave.”
“Why don’t you calm down and tell me what’s going on?” He spoke
softly, hoping to defuse the situation a little.
She growled at him, her hands going up in the air. She slumped
against the wall. “Levi’s trying to buy the mortgage on the house from
the bank.” She sighed. “I called Dozer so he could take care of it, and
he’s not sure whether he wants to keep the house or not. I want to, but I
don’t have the money, and I can’t fight Levi alone.”
“I thought Dozer wanted to keep it.”
“So did I, but apparently he’s not sure. Maybe it’s because we need
to put a lot of money in it to get it back to where our mother had it.”
“It was a beautiful house back then.”
“Yeah, well, if I lose this house I’ve got nothing left to keep me
here.”
Her statement hit him as if someone had just punched him in the gut.
Before he could think about it, he blurted out, “Let me talk to Dozer.”
Charlie snorted. “Good luck with him.”
“Have some faith in me.”
She snorted again. “All I have in you right now, Vinny, are a lot of
disappointments.”
“Then I guess it’s time for me to change your opinion.” He stood up
and walked up to her, bent to grab her arms, and had her straight up on
her feet in front of him.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before he jerked her
even closer and kissed her. Not letting go of her arms so she could stop
him, Vinny deepened his kiss as much as he could and moaned when she
57
Jaden Sinclair
started to kiss him back. When he felt her relax, he let go of her arms and
looked deeply into her eyes.
“Take my T-shirt off,” he told her.
Instantly, her cheeks flushed with shyness. She shook her head at
him. “I can’t.”
Charlie moved fast, faster than Vinny had thought she was capable.
She rushed into the bedroom, the door slamming in his face, but she
wasn’t fast enough to turn the lock before he pushed his way inside. Her
eyes widened as he came into the room, closing the door behind him.
She backed up to the far wall of the small room.
Keeping his eyes locked onto hers, Vinny pulled his T-shirt over his
head. He tossed it to the side and kept advancing, stopping only when he
was right in front of her, and she could go nowhere else.
“This isn’t a good idea,” she breathed out.
“It’s the best damn idea ever,” he said.
Once more he kissed her deeply. Vinny worked at stealing any kind
of resistance from her and tossing it right out the door. He didn’t want
her to think. He wanted her to feel. Taking hold of her shirt, he had it up
and over her shoulders before she had the time to react to what he was
doing. Pulling back only long enough to take it off, Vinny was right back
to kissing her, pressing his bare chest to her bra covered one. His fingers
traced a path between her breasts and down her belly to the top of her
jeans. It didn’t take him long to slip his hand into her pants, cup her sex,
and slip a finger inside of her. She gasped, rose up on her toes, and
gripped his shoulders tight, digging her nails into his flesh.
Vinny kept his hand in her panties long enough to awaken her
senses before slipping it out of her jeans. He gave the button a jerk to get
them open, took hold of the waist band, and started a slow pull
downward. He followed then, going to his knees before her.
One foot up, leg free of pants, then to the next. She stood before him
in nothing but a bra and panties. The sight heightened his hunger for her
as well as the need that raced fast and burned hot in his veins. He didn’t
think he’d ever wanted a woman as badly as he wanted Charlie that
moment.
A kiss to her belly, another to the top edge of the panties, then yet
another to her hip. The whole time he kissed her, he watched her, and
58
Vinny’s Vow
she watched him. Vinny slid his hands up her legs to her hips, gripped
the panties, and pulled them down her legs. Charlie’s breathing
quickened, and she fisted her hands so tight the knuckles turned white.
However, things came to a stop when he started to bring his face
closer to her sex and both of her hands closed in front of it, blocking
him.
“I can’t do this,” she breathed out.
Vinny looked up at her. “Yes, you can.”
He stood, picked her up, and carried her to the bed. Again her hands
covered his treasure. Keeping eye contact with her, Vinny finished
undressing for her. He kicked off his shoes first and took his socks off
next. Slowly, locking his eyes to hers, he released his belt, unbuttoned
the top of his jeans, and pulled the zipper down. Charlie’s eyes got
wider, and she gaped at him when he pulled at the sides of his jeans
along with his underwear. Once off, he kicked them aside, standing
naked before her, letting her get an unfettered view of his body.
Her face reddened; her chest rose and fell quickly. Bending over, he
crawled onto the bed, Charlie scooted away, her hands still between her
legs. Vinny hovered over her, stopping her from moving any further.
Slowly, he lowered his body down to hers, and she moved her hands
before his body touched her own. Holding some of his weight on his
elbows, he reached under her and unclasped her bra. She gasped again.
“This is going too fast,” she said, squirming under him as he worked
to remove the bra.
He managed to pull it away, toss it behind him and still positioned
himself between her legs, right where he belonged. “It’s not going too
fast. I’m taking this as slow as it needs to be.”
She opened her mouth to speak again, and he silenced her with his
lips. Moving more of his weight to his right side, Vinny slid a hand down
her body to her right leg. He pushed her leg out, bending her knee. With
her opened up, he slid his hand between her legs, touching her sex and
rubbing his body against her as he brushed his hand over her mound.
Charlie gripped his arms, her nails digging into his flesh. While stabbing
his tongue into her mouth, he thrust two fingers deep into her body.
Vinny moaned at the wet heat which greeted him.
Tonight there’d be no holding back or stopping when things were
59
Jaden Sinclair
barely started. Nope, tonight he was going to show her just how good the
two of them could be together, how perfect they were, and how right this
was.
Breaking their kiss, he started a trail of kisses down her chin to her
neck and throat. Charlie made gasping sounds as if she couldn’t catch
her breath, which had him smiling against her skin. He kept his fingers
moving between her legs in a slow motion, loving her with them,
reminding her of the pleasure she’d already received from his hand. He
moved his mouth lower down on her body, stopping at her breasts. He
kissed one nipple, then the other before closing his lips around one,
sucking it hard into his mouth and giving it a little nip.
She jumped when he bit her. “Shit!”
Popping the nipple out of his mouth, moving over to her other
breast, he kissed the plump mound. Vinny licked the underside and
suckled his way back up to her nipple, sucking it between his teeth as he
bit down hard. He was determined to give her as much pleasure as he
could. When he was finished torturing her, the sound of her nipple being
released, brought another gasp from her lips. Next he kissed the skin
between them and went even lower. On his way, he stopped at her belly
and glanced up at her. She was watching him. He gave a lick to her belly,
followed by a kiss over her belly button. Continuing to move down, his
shoulders forced Charlie to spread her legs even wider for him.
“Do you have any idea how much I love kissing your body?” He
searched her face for an answer. She shook her head. “It’s a big turn on,
Charlie. I love it and can’t wait to taste even more.”
“Oh God!” she groaned, her head falling back onto the pillow.
He smiled, stopped the thrusting of his hand, and parted the swollen
folds of her sex. Feeling like a starved man, Vinny went in for the kill.
He licked her like a kitten would attack a bowl of fresh cream. Her legs
stiffened next to his head, but it didn’t stop him from his task. He wanted
Charlie to scream in pleasure tonight, pleasure that only he could give
her.
With his thumbs, he rubbed her clit and used his tongue to consume
each and every drop of her pleasure. Her hips moved. At first she was
grinding into him and then she reversed and moved away. He could hear
heavy breathing coming from her, knowing she was struggling with the
60
Vinny’s Vow
sensations, and he was loving every second of it. His own desire and
need were also building. The head of his cock throbbed in pain. He
wanted to sink into her and bring them both to completion, but in order
to do that he had to do this first. He had to let her experience everything
he’d promised. Tonight Vinny was determined that Charlie wouldn’t
leave his arms until she’d reached climax several times.
Moving his thumb away from her clit, Vinny thrust his fingers back
into her and returned to loving her with his hand. Closing his lips around
her clit, he sucked, pulled, and nibbled as he pushed his fingers fast in
and out of her. She sat up then, one hand fisted into his hair, pulling at
the short strands.
“Shit, shit, shit, shit,” she began to yell. “Vinny!”
Charlie climaxed. She pulled on his hair, pressing his face harder
between her legs. The thrusting of his hand and sucking on her clit didn’t
stop until the grip on his hair eased and her body dropped back on the
bed. Slowly, he removed his fingers, and then raised his body back up,
covering hers. She was relaxed all over with her eyes closed. He kissed
the top of one breast.
“Enjoy that?” he asked.
“You’re a shit,” she stated.
Vinny smiled. “Yes, I am and only getting started with you.” His
words had her opening her eyes and staring at him in shock. “Time to
finish this, baby.”
* * * *
Charlie looked at him as if he’d lost his mind. She couldn’t move.
Her whole body was so relaxed and very content, still humming from
what he just did. She couldn’t even imagine there would be more to
come after that.
The lower half of his body touched her, and the hardness between
her legs brushed her sex. It gave her the chills and had her body tingling
in all the right places. Hell, even her clit seemed to know what it was and
throbbed for more. Was she ready for more? On instinct, she put her
hands up to his chest, thinking about pushing him away. One of his
eyebrows went up, and his hand moved down between them once more.
He rubbed his turgid flesh along her swollen wetness, and surprisingly
61
Jaden Sinclair
enough, she did want him inside her.
The head teased her entrance, and she didn’t stiffen up like she had
thought she might. Vinny kept a hand at her hip, holding her in place,
and ever so slowly he entered her body.
It’d been four years since they last had this dance, and according to
him it hadn’t really been sex. Sure, he’d entered her body and took her
virginity, but according to Vinny the whole act itself never happened.
Back then she’d pushed him away before things could get started, but
this time there’d be no stopping him. This time what got started would
end in a mind-blowing orgasm. It didn’t hurt like it had that first time.
He still stretched her, not much of a discomfort, but it still felt strange at
the same time.
Vinny moved one of her legs up higher and held it where he wanted
it as he sank into her. He filled her so completely, stretching her to
accommodate him, and she knew no other would ever feel this good
inside her. He was simply made for her as she’d been for him.
Only one tender moment passed, and Vinny began to move in
earnest. Out slowly, fast thrust back in, the movement stole her breath
away when new places on her body began to tingle. He started a steady
rhythm, kissing her throat as he moved his hips. The new sensations
inside her body caused it to come alive fast. She couldn’t stay still. With
each of his thrusts, her hips pushed upward to meet him and had him
moaning against her throat.
“God, you feel so good,” he groaned.
Charlie moved her other leg up, so she could wrap both around his
hips, to hold tight to him with her knees. She looped her arms around his
back, gripping him and holding him close.
“Don’t stop,” she panted.
“Try to make me.”
“Faster.” A groan slipped past her lips this time. “I’m so close.”
“If I go faster I’m going to lose it.”
“Oh!” Charlie arched back as much as she could and tried to grind
her throbbing clit harder against him. “Please!”
His speed picked up. She got the friction she needed against her clit,
and the climax she’d been reaching for hit. Charlie didn’t even try to
hold back the scream. It came out along with digging her nails into his
62
Vinny’s Vow
back. Vinny yelled also, but she didn’t know if it was from his own
release or from the nails in his back. His arms tightened around her body.
He held her close, still grinding against her. When it was over, she just
dropped. A few minutes later Vinny let her go and rolled off of her,
spread out as well, both breathed hard and fast.
After some time passed with nothing said, Vinny spoke, “That is
how our first time should have been.”
Charlie yawned. “If you say so.”
She couldn’t keep her eyes open and didn’t even want to try. She’d
had a rough week, and she never would’ve thought sex could relax her
this much or have her drifting off to sleep so fast. She should be having it
out with Vinny over seducing her the way he just had but didn’t have the
strength. In the morning she’d give him hell, but for tonight all she
wanted more than anything was a good night’s sleep.

Chapter Six
Dwayne ‘Dozer’ Rivers pulled into the driveway of his old family
home and frowned when he saw a truck parked there. He thought he
knew the owner of that truck, but then again knew it couldn’t be him.
There wasn’t a reason for Vinny to be here this early in the morning.
Parking and getting out, Dozer walked up to the front door and
frowned again. The damn thing was unlocked. Not like his sister to leave
the door unlocked, ever. Bracing himself, he turned the knob and walked
inside. Just like Vinny had told him, the place needed a lot of work. The
main living space had nothing in it. With the exception of one ratty chair,
all the furniture that used to be in the room was gone, even the rugs that
had covered the hardwood floor. The paper on the walls was peeling off
and in some spots hanging in ripped sections. He walked up to one of the
wood trims in the corner of the room and touched it. It seemed to still be
