suspicions were valid before addressing the situation with Ricardo.
Señor, with all due respect, I need to speak with you concerning an issue that involves your wife.” Immediately Carlos viewed the dark shadow which crossed Ricardo’s face.
Ricardo’s temper had been one of the reasons that he had not been looking forward to this conversation.
“The guard who is assigned to Señora Ramirez; I don’t trust him.”
“What has he done, and more importantly, what has my wife done?”
“He watches her, and not in the sense of guarding her. It is my experience that if a guard is distracted with a client, they could possibly overlook a threat. My primary goal is to see that she is kept safe. Once again Sir, with all due respect, your wife can be naïve at times, and she does not pick up on these advances.”
Ricardo eyed his driver, “Carlos you have been very loyal. I believe that you are due a promotion. I am going to begin using you as our personal driver and bodyguard. I will address this issue with my wife later this evening.”
The one thing that Juanita would have going for her , that would help to ward off the wrath of her naturally suspicious mate’s nature, was that he too realized that Carl had pegged her correctly when he stated: That she was naïve.
Chapter Nine
Ricardo stood in the doorway and watched his wife dance around with the headset blaring in her ears, five minutes passed before she ever even noticed him.
He made his way over and removed the headset.
“Hey, I was listening to that.”
Ricardo threw it to the side and growled, “And now, you are listening to your husband!”
He squinted his eyes as he eyed her toying with a curl. “Do you dance like that when your guard is watching?”
“I don’t like him, he’s creepy.”
“Creepy?” Ricardo looked puzzled. “Que es eso, Juanita?”
Juanita laughed and said: “He looks at me like this .” She then made a face like the guard watched her hypnotized.
Ricardo could feel his blood beginning to boil, “I don’t like those s horts and that white tee shirt! I forbid you to wear them!”
“Don’t even start Ricardo, I’m not like you, I don’t need a maid to dress me. Get out of my room!” She screamed pointing towards the door.
“You little bitch! This is my house!”
Juanita swung back to smack him and he caught her hand mid air. He picked her up like a sack of potatoes and slung her onto the bed.
He then sat over her straddling her as he glared into her face. “You are my prisoner, maybe I’ll make you wear stripes, or better yet; maybe I’ll make you wear nothing at all.
“You big bully, you can’t make me do anything!”
He became distracted with eyeing her nipples under the white tee shirt, “You little bitch.”
In one sudden movement he ripped the shirt from top to bottom exposing her chest.
He rolled a nipple between two fingers as he listened to her breathing; which had now become labored.
“You owe me a lot of money little girl and I have every intention of taking it out of your hide. You little thief, I saw how you got my soldiers worked up. Do you think that you can flirt and tease me? I have my choice of women, but I like you, so I’ll keep you as my toy.”
He was purposely taunting her as his hands pulled and rolled at her now hardened nipples. He licked over one and then blew his hot breath over it.
“Please, Ricardo,” she had no idea what she was begging for.
He rose on his knees tugging at her shorts and she found herself kicking them off, rather than fighting him.
I want to play with my little toy, my little captive, mine, mine, mine.”
He was alternating sucking, licking and pulling at her breast.
“You are mine, the room that you live in , is mine.” He buried his face in her hair as his raspy whisper threatened
