After taking a drink frolass, the buyer answered, “I’ll take her”

“No!” Hope shouted fro space as fear shot up her spine She clasped her hand to her mouth, but she’d been too late The men turned to the sound, their eyes trained on the tiny crack in the hidden wall panel She was busted

Hope spun around and atteh the other door before they could find her, but when she pushed on the handle to her only escape, it wouldn’t budge I can’t get out!

The day they had that conversation had only been a little over a year ago, but it would be forever etched in her mind Her father had tried to sell her off to be a mistress Of course it hadn’t ended the way her dreahtmare of her past sent her into a fresh stream of tears Soon, she’d have to face her father in court for his trial and was certain that it would trigger more bad dreams

He dipped his fingers into her, testing how ready she was A sers to hisher heat “I know”

He lined up his cock with Hope’s entrance, rubbing it over her slit, grazing her bundle of nerves She arched up with her eyes doing the pleading for more With his hands flat on the mattress, he drove in with his thick shaft

“I love you, Gage”

“I love you” He rocked his hips, sending their heavy bed off its feet and his dick deep inside Hope “I’d move mountains for you”
