Chapter 29: The Rescue

Barbara Brown's POV

I was looking at Owen as he was walking over me. We have been trapped inside the mineral cave when I heard some explosion before Owen was tying me up so that I cannot move at all. Damn him and my trust issue. It seems that I trusted the wrong guy.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked Owen as he was looking at me before he was trailing his fingers on my cheek. I cringed.

"You see, it seems that Mr. Cornwall was forgetting to raise my money for the month. And I thought what could motivate him if not for the whore that he showed up on the site?" He started as I was looking at him with all my might. If looks can kill, I hoped my glare killed Owen right now.

"If you need a raise, you just talk to him," I reasoned out as I was looking at him. He laughed like a maniac before he crouched down in front of me and grabbed my chin.

"I have talked to him for over a hundred times. I'm getting sick of it! It's time for me to take action into my own hands." He said as he was looking around for something. I don't know what he wanted but I think I can read his mind.

He moved me to a flat surface and he was pushing my hands above my head before he was tying me again against the stalagmite that was near my head as I was struggling to get away from him.

"Get your hands off me, you jerk," I said as I was kicking before he was gripping my legs.

"Feisty, I like it. I wonder what Brad will think once I'm done with you. As far as I'm concerned, he did not do well with sharing his toys," he said as he was undoing his belt as he was smirking at me.

I felt fear was gripping me before I screamed. Owen covered my mouth as he was smashing my head with something. I think it was a rock and as I drifted to the abyss, I heard an explosion, and a huge silhouette was coming inside the cave.

Brandon Cornwall's POV

"I want all the explosives to be in front of the cave and set the TNT to be on the side. This will give us enough explosion to make it through," I ordered for my supervisor to see that it was done.

"But sir, the explosion will cause more debris to fall. What if they fall on the inside?"

"Just do it before it was too late," I barked at him before I was rubbing my face. I need to calm down but I can't. This was Barbara that we're talking about. Forget the contract. Forget the site. All I need was her to be safe right now.

The first thing to do when I got her out, I will tell her how much I love her. God, she was the only one that capable to make me confess my love.

"Ready?" I asked as the workers were nodding their heads. I prayed for her safety until I can save her.

"Detonate!" I shouted as I was looking at the rock before I felt my power was tingling inside my body. I need to make sure that they did not cover the entrance as I was moving the rocks when the explosion happened.

You see, I cannot risk people to know but if I have to expose it for my wife, then I will be glad to do so. But luckily, the debris was covering my action and the entrance was clear for me to get in.

I heard a scream before it was muted and I think the worst has happened to my Barbara. I need to kill Owen and I think I have to do it now. I went inside the room as I saw Owen was forcing himself on Barbara. I can see the tears were streaming her face as Owen was trying to undo her pants. I went to Owen and kicked him on the side before he stumbled back on his feet.

"You bastard!" I shouted as I was coming onto him before I grabbed his collar and punched him even more. He was smirking even when the blood was dripping from his nose and mouth.

"I don't think your wife would taste so sweet," he said before anger was taking the best of me. I was punching him again until I was being stopped by someone else and I heard that Barbara was calling for me.

Everything was in slow motion when I was seeing Barbara lying on the floor and was being untied by my men. I shoved them away before I was losing my control again. I was cradling her close to my chest before I was scooping her in my hands.

"Sir, what about Owen?" The supervisor asked me as I turned to look at him, concealing Barbara from their views.

"I promote you to be the supervisor. See to this matter was resolved and Owen was to be escorted to the county prison for attacking my wife," I said sternly as they nodded at me before I was walking away from the cave.

I carried Barbara in my hands as I can sense that she was trying to get out of my hold. I held her tighter as I cannot risk her getting away again. I felt my tears were breaming my eyes right now.

When we're inside the tent, I closed the entrance as I put Barbara on the makeshift bed. She was exhausted as her amber eyes were looking at my every move. I was setting the clean water to wash her as I brought it near the bed. Barbara was quiet when I was working the cool rag across her face.

"Brad, I—"

"Don't just…don't," I said before I was working on cleaning the dirt from her body and I was trying to control my anger inside me. I think Barbara can sense that I was angry before she touched my hand that was holding the rag and took it from me.

She brought my hand to her lips and kissed my knuckles. I was closing my eyes as I was taking a deep breath. I almost lost her. I almost get her raped. I almost being a horrible husband and protector to her.

"It's okay," she whispered as I was trying to reign in my anger and tears in.

"No, it's not. You could have died and I will have to tell your parents that their only daughter perished under my care. I have to face the wrath of your father and brothers. And I will be spending my time without you taunting my every decision. I just…I can't." I said before Barbara was hugging me. I clung to her as if my life will be suck without her. I cannot lose her again.

"I'm here. I'm with you," she whispered before I was looking at her face. She was smiling but my heart was breaking.

"I will make sure that this time, our annulment will be through. I know you don't wish to be with me, after all, that's been happening—" my sentence has died as she kissed me.

Barbara was kissing me.

I gripped her arms before I was pushing her down. It has been torturous after that night we shared at the office. I can see that she was as eager as I was. I was kissing her nose, forehead, and chin. She moaned before I was gripping her tank top and pulled it over her head before I was pulling her hiking pants off from her long legs.

"God, you're beautiful," I said before she roamed her hands on my body as I was learning her curves and soft skin. How can I let her go after all?

"Take off your clothes. I wanted to see you. Touch you," Barbara whispered before I was taking off my clothes and I was pulling down my pants before I was standing naked in front of her. Barbara's amber eyes were appreciating my body and I felt proud.

Barbara locked her eyes with me before she was kneeling in front of me. Her hands were on my thighs before her mouth was covering me. I groaned and moaned before I was gripping her head as I was pushing in and out of her sweet mouth.

She gripped my thighs and I felt that she was becoming bolder. I was playing with her hair before I can sense that I was close.

"Fuck!" I shouted as I pushed her off and onto the bed as I was on top of her.

"Are you wet?" I asked her as she was smiling with her saliva on her mouth still.

"Why don't find out by yourself," she said as she was aligning my cock into her core and I was hugged by her wet, warm sheath. I groaned as I was nuzzling her neck. Her sweet blood orange and I kissed her neck before sucking her sweet spot on the hollow spot of her neck.

"God, you taste even better," I said as I was moving in and out of her core. She moaned before she was gripping my hair and brought my lips to meet hers. I was consumed by our desire and fire for each other and I was playing with her needy nub and she was clenching around me.

"Argh!"

She orgasmed and I was pumping 3 more times before I spewed my hot load inside her and I smiled. Home. I was finally home and no one can be my home except for Barbara Brown now.
