Chapter Text
Beth walked into his bar. It was a busy night, full of people. She didn’t know how, but his bar was him somehow. She could feel his presence the moment she stepped inside. Her eyes wandered around the room looking for him. She looked back at the pool table, and at the bar where his stool was, the stool he always sat at.
Rio had summoned her to come and see him which she was pissed about. She had been through enough in the past few days doing that pill drop for him that turned into a dangerous situation. She knew by his voice when he called her that saying no this time wasn't an option or he would just show up at her house. His voice was very cold and she knew he was pissed.
She knew what Rio told her the night Jane went missing was right. She could have gone to jail or died, the second being more likely after what happened. She didn’t even want to think about what those guys in that house were going to do to the three of them when they wanted to take them to the basement. Beth took a big risk standing up to them even though she was scared shitless but she knew she had nothing to lose. What she didn’t need at this moment was for him to remind her just how lucky they were to get out of there unharmed.
Beth was about to ask the bartender where Rio was when she felt him behind her. It was like she just had this sixth sense about him, just like he seemed to have for her. She had no idea where he came from, he was just suddenly there like he always was when it came to her. He could show up anywhere, at any time. “This way,” he barked at her as he headed over to a door to a hallway she had never been down before. She followed him to another door that said office, he opened it for her, letting her walk in, and then he slammed the door behind her once she was inside.
She turned and glared at him, “what the hell is going on?, I just finished my shower and was getting ready for bed.”
Rio shoved an envelope at her. Beth opened it and it was Janes dubby. She looked up at Rio whose eyes were still full of anger. She was about to thank him when he fired off at her. “Do you have any idea how fucking risky it was going into that house?” he said to her with his voice full of anger. He handed her another envelope. It had their cell phones in it.
She did know how dangerous it was and didn’t need him to remind her. “Yeah, I do know, but you never told me who I was delivering the car to!”
Rio stepped towards her. “This is you never just doin’ what you are supposed to fuckin’ do. All you had to do was drop the car off and you were supposed to do it that afternoon. But not you, you go to your kid's recital instead and end up dropping it at night. I told ya I would do the fuckin’ job but you didn’t wanna give up the money.”
Beth became defensive. “I was working all day at the dealership and I am a mom too, so...."
Rio cut her off, he wasn’t having any of it. “Fuck off with that, don’t tell me again you are a mother. YOU sat behind that desk at the dealership, all smug and whatnot. You refused to give me my stuff until I agreed to give you 50% of the cut. YOU wanted it, YOU got it darlin’. You managing your family time ain't my problem. You want to fuckin’ play games with me this is what happens, but you just cannot stay in your own lane. You are fuckin’ lucky you are standin’ here right now,” he said to her not letting up.
His eyes were so black and dark, he hadn’t even taken off his beanie, and jacket. She had never seen him quite like this before.
Beth was glaring back at him with the same anger he had. “You tried to dump cars onto my lot and not tell me what was in them, you were flipping your game and using Boland Motors to do it. So don’t come at me….next time don’t try to pull one over on me. This is YOUR fault.”
He gave her his menacing grin. “Ya, always my fault! You are such a pain in the ass. I just showed ya why I didn’t tell ya. I didn’t need you to fuck it up and ya did anyways. You put my business at risk me going there to deal with ‘em!”
Beth was feelin’ it from all sides, knowing she messed up but he wasn’t innocent in this. How dare he put the blame all on her. She had to admit it stung because all he seemed to care about was his business. “I didn’t ask you to go back there to get our things did I?”
His eyes darkened when he responded. “They had your fuckin’ phones sweetheart! You gotta be smarter than this if you don’t know why that’s a problem.”
She was more angry now…at herself and at him. Who did he think he was talking to her this way? She raised her hand to smack him out of anger, frustration, and knowing deep inside, that he was right and she hated it. Rio took her hand in his, then grabbed the other one too. He pinned both of them against the wall as she struggled against his hold.
They both glared at each other before they both became suddenly aware of how close to each other they were. If anger had a sound, it would be silence as the room was filled with it except for the erratic breathing between them, their faces only a few inches apart.
Beth struggled to free herself from his grip, her breasts pressed against his chest. “Let me go you bastard.”
Rio pinned her hands harder against the wall, his eyes piercing hers. His voice was low with anger that was seeping out of him. “You don’t get it do ya?”
She could feel his unsteady breathing on her face as he tightened his jaw hard. She tried to knee him but he placed his leg between hers which made her more reactive. “I get it, you are all about your money!”, she said as she gritted her teeth at him.
She felt her whole body become flushed with warmth. Unable to move her arms, she arched her back, pressing herself against him harder. He felt the friction of her body against his, knowing if she kept moving, she would feel the hardness between his legs.
He freed her wrists, and her hands landed on his chest. ”‘Fuck you Rio,” she said. Her hands slid up to his tattoo. She put her hands around his neck sitting at the bottom of his tattoo, glaring at him. She suddenly found herself focusing on his mouth as he spoke. He had a glare in his eyes too but a grin on his lips. “'Aight you wanna play it this way huh?"
Beth found herself hypnotized by the proximity of his mouth to hers and started biting her lip absentmindedly. Rio’s eyes followed her movement and if she didn’t know better, she swore she heard him groan slightly when she touched his neck.
The tension in the room suddenly felt unbearable, both breathing hard as their eyes met again. They felt the heat radiating from each other’s bodies, inviting, making them want to press into each other more. Beth told herself she should be pushing him away but her rational thoughts failed her. The desire to feel every inch of his body became overwhelming. God, why did this man have to be this way, why did he do this to her?
His pupils dilated as his gaze traveled between her lustful eyes and her lips. His breath hitched when suddenly she crashed her lips on his. She knew she shouldn't have and wanted to stop kissing him but instead, she found herself responding too eagerly. His lips were demanding against her and as he groaned in her mouth. She gasped as his tongue passed the barrier of her lips. Her hands slid behind his neck, her nails digging in trying to pull him closer to her as their tongues battled against each other. His hands landed on her waist and in one harsh move, he pulled her hard against his body. The kiss deepened as they both kept trying to dominate each other’s eager mouths. Out of breath, she finally pulled away, both of them now panting heavily.
Rio grabbed her ass possessively. She got to him in every single way possible and she drove him to the edge just being near her no matter how angry he was. His desire for her was consuming him, which made him angrier.
She grabbed his shirt in her fists, yanking hard. She’d be damned if she’d let him know he hurt her when he didn’t say she was the reason he was angry; that he was worried about her, not his money, not just his business. Before she could say another word, his face was buried into her neck. She closed her eyes, fighting back the shudder that would consume her whole body if she let it but she failed to hold back a whimper when took her earlobe between his teeth. “You ain’t got no fuckin’ idea the risk I took ‘cause of you”, he growled in her ear.
His hands started roaming over her body, then slid their way up under her shirt, caressing her sides. Her whole body felt like he set it on fire and the heat between her legs was almost unbearable. Still gripping his shirt she pulled him closer so that their mouths could meet again. The kiss was needy, rough, and passionate all at once. Her one hand slid down until it was under his shirt, caressing his well-defined abs, inciting a moan from her.
Rio tugged at her shirt and before she had the time to react, he had pulled it off over her head in one swift movement, throwing it aside. She returned the favor, not letting him have the upper hand. She grabbed his jacket, yanking it down his arms with force, showing him her anger. Her eyes did not leave his as she threw it aside almost daring him to see what he would do next. “Tell me, were you upset that something would’ve happened to me or upset because of your business?”
His eyes were dark with desire as they roamed over her bra, her taut pink nipples were popping out against the lace. His hand was about to cup her breast when she grabbed him around the wrist hard, shoving his arm down. “Answer me!” she said as she started to unbutton his shirt so hard that the buttons were almost popping off. She held her ground, staring him down. Her eyes were angry but with an undeniable yearning for him.
He pushed up against her once his shirt was open, he could feel her hard nipples against his chest and his cock twitched hard, wanting to be buried deep inside her.
The feeling of his hard chest pressed against her was almost too much for her, his warmth was consuming her.
Rio's hands worked to open the button of her jeans, pulling them down over her hips enough to slide his hands down into the back of her panties. Her ass was so fucking soft, so fucking perfect, making his cock even harder. “What do you think Elizabeth!” he said as he pulled her hips into his so there was no mistaking the hard bulge rubbing back and forth against her.
She was so turned on that if he slipped his hand further down underneath her, he would be met with her wet pussy and he would know how much she wanted him. She pushed against him, so she could slip her hands down between them. She grabbed him by the waistband of his pants with both her hands. He wasn’t going to have her first. She was going to be in control even though every inch of her body was on fire for his touch. She had opened his pants enough to slip her hand down inside his boxers. He didn't stop her, he didn't want to but he was only going to let her go so far. He fought himself not to make any sound when her soft hand touched him. Her thumb circled the head of his cock with his precum. Torturously, her fingers ran down his shaft as he resisted the urge to thrust into her hand. That was all he was going to allow her to do or he would not be able to stop himself from wanting more. He slowly pulled her hand out of his boxers, not releasing his eyes from hers.
She had teased him with her tits long enough. He pulled the strap down on one side, exposing her breast. Immediately, his lips found her nipple, she didn't stop him as he sucked on it eagerly. Rio suppressed the sound of satisfaction that he felt when she pressed his head into her, needing to feel more. He pulled the strap down on the other side and she almost pushed herself into his mouth. His lips left her breasts when she started to suck on his collarbone, leaving a mark on him, a moan escaped from him. He grabbed her under her ass and placed her on his desk in one swift movement that caught her by surprise. He rolled her jeans down over her legs as Beth arched her body, unwittingly helping him out. He tossed them aside and looked down at her.
“Shit.” He croaked as his breath hitched, seeing her panties, soaked in anticipation. His fingers slipped inside the waistband, pulling them off her. Rio grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her to his hungry mouth as she wrapped her legs around his waist. They both groaned at the friction of his cock against her. She was panting in need against his mouth when she spoke again. “Rio..."
"You want me to stop? he said with his mouth still on hers, knowing by the way she said his name, that wasn't it at all. He wasn't going to answer her question until she told him she knew she fucked up badly. He slipped his other hand down between them taking his throbbing cock in his hand and rubbing it over her slick pussy.
Her eyes closed for a moment as she shook her head no. She was angry at herself as much as him. She was angry for wanting him so badly, she was angry she couldn't say no, but most of all she was angry he didn't answer her but in this moment, she needed him inside her more than anything.
Rio pushed his hard cock into her in one thrust, grunting. Her breath got caught in her throat with a loud gasp. Rio let out a hoarse moan. The feeling was indescribable for both of them and their mouths found each other again.
Rio set the pace as he thrust in her. Her whole body was rocking with every move as he devoured her mouth, their tongues battling passionately. Her hands settled on his lower back pulling him to her as she arched her body to meet his thrusts. But she didn't want him to win this, to not answer her, to not tell her. She let go of him and leaned back on her hands, making him slow down. "Answer my question Rio", she said in a half moan.
Rio placed his hands under her hips and adjusted her position. He pumped his cock into her shallowly and on a different angle. She was trying hard to focus but she was losing the battle as she started riding the edge of an orgasm when he started hitting that sweet spot inside her. He was still just as pissed at her because she wouldn't answer him either and he wasn't playing that game with her. It came down to a battle of wills between them.
She could not stop the small moans coming out of her mouth now, she was ready to let herself go. He could feel her tightening up around his cock when he suddenly stopped, pushing himself into her one more time, burying his cock inside her, holding it there.
He leaned over, his face right at hers, his lips almost touching hers. "Not 'til you fuckin’ tell me you know what you did was dangerous, you gotta say it 'cause I ain’t gonna let you cum until you do.”
She squeezed her legs around him, then tightened up inside as hard as she could around his cock. She could play this game too.
Rio felt it and damn it felt so fucking good. He had one hand holding her hip and with the other he grabbed her hair in his hand, but his hold was soft as he pumped into her a little faster. "This ain't hard darlin'....you are so fuckin' stubborn." He held her face to his, fighting the urge to just fuck her.
She pressed her hands to his shoulder blades, nails digging into his skin trying hard to keep control. Her face was a mixture of anger and pleasure because his thrusts were bringing her closer and closer to coming. Rio was just about to stop again when she blurted it out barely able to say the words. "I know...." she cried out... "I know I fucked up."
Rio groaned as he pushed into her, thrusting harder and deeper, making her whimper. His voice was soft now when he asked her, "ready Mama?" She was holding onto Rio now, needing to come so badly. It was more a moan than a word when she gasped out yes to him.
He was the anchor that kept her bound to him. His pace became needy and almost desperate. He needed her, he needed to release himself inside of her. Their warm bodies were pressed together like they were one person. He could feel her spasming around his cock, she was lost in the pleasure, letting herself go with it. He responded to her with a few more deep thrusts that sent her over the edge. She cried out his name as she shut her eyes, her body arching against him. The feeling of her walls tightening around him again and the sight of her face contorted in pleasure made him come undone himself in a loud groan that vaguely sounded like her name as he emptied himself inside of her.
She suddenly felt vulnerable a feeling she didn't like and Rio sensed it because he knew her so well. He immediately enveloped her in his arms. His anger was gone as he gently ran his fingers down her back, his lips placing a kiss in her hair. They were so complex and complicated, or maybe they both just made it that way, always protecting themselves.
Her voice was so soft, and he heard the hurt in it when she finally spoke. "I guess you win this one Rio, I just needed to hear you say it."
He lifted her chin so he could look her in the eyes. "Nah, I would lose if anythin' ever happened to ya...don't ever do somethin' like that again Mama, I just can't deal with that, ya hear me?"
She did something she had never done before, she hugged him tight. "I hear you loud and clear."
