Chapter 3

Memories hit the Prime in his recharge… All happy memories of Kelly...

~~~000

"I love you so much," Optimus whispered, holding Kelly close to him.

"I love you more," Kelly said, leaning further into his embrace.

The two just laid there in the bed, enjoying the sweet moment they had. The sex was amazing, but it was each other that made it even more special. Optimus nuzzled into her, kissing her neck. Kelly turned in his arms to face him, kissing him back.

~~~000

"Optimus!" Kelly giggled, trying to squirm away from his digits tickling her.

"I'm not done with you yet," said Optimus, trapping her wrists by her head. Kelly leaned up and kissed him before licking his neck. "Very sneaky."

"You love it," Kelly said with a grin.

His memories faded once more

~~~000

Optimus woke up, looking around his shelter, confused for a moment.

"Kelly?" he called out. He remembered then that she was not with him. "My Kelly..."

Optimus got up, going to where he knew she lived. He transformed and drove for hours until he reached where she lived. He transformed, deflating in sorrow. There was nothing but empty land. No house, no barn, no Kelly. Nothing but dead land. Optimus fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. She wasn't there.

"Kelly, where are you?" Optimus sobbed, curling up where his alt mode had sat many times next to the house. "Kelly!"

Optimus cried until he fell into recharge. He was alone and scared. He just wanted to go home and be with his dear Kelly once more.

Kelly's realm…

Kelly's alarm had gone off and she got up getting dressed, and heading into the kitchen. She smelled fresh coffee brewing and was confused at first, until she remembered Savoy and his team and she growled inwardly.

She came down the stairs and saw Savoy on the phone with someone, and when he caught sight of her he got off the phone.

"I made coffee. It would have been nicer if you had made it for us." Savoy said as Kelly remained silent at first.

"Don't press your luck," she snapped.

Savoy smirked.

Xxxxxxx

Kelly had started to go out to the gym she had made, when one of Savoy's men stopped her by grabbing her arm.

"Our boss is using your homemade gym," he replied.

"Touch me again, and I will kick you in your damn dick, got it?" she replied.

"You got a mouth on you, why don't you use it on something more productive?" one of the men said as Kelly punched him in the face.

Kelly was disgusted by Savoy's men, and she planned on telling him so. She disliked guys like that, she really did. She walked up and flung the door open and her eyes locked with where Savoy was using weights. Her eyes watched as his muscles flexed.

Kelly's POV

Shit, he was built. His muscles rippled and he had taken his shirt off his back shined with sweat and I couldn't talk for a minute. I couldn't even form a usual snarky retort. All I could do was watch Savoy as he used the weights.

Naturally, he had to moan and grunt while using the weights, I thought about it and seriously wondered if he knew I was standing there watching him.

"Like the view?" he asked smugly.

Figures.

"You have the manners of a… " I started to say.

"Of a what?" he demanded as he was on me before I could stop him.

He had me against the wall, his mouth on mine and the next second his tongue was inside my mouth. He had my arms pinned against the wall as his other hand slid over my stomach.

I couldn't help but moan.

Damn it!

"Still don't like me?" he asked after his lips left mine.

I just narrowed my eyes at him then. I was not giving in to him no matter how hot he was.

"You are such a stuck up wise-ass!" I snapped. "Let me go right now!" I shouted as he let me go and ran his tongue over his lips.

I walked away never telling him the reason I was there to begin with, oh that man was such a…..!

Xxxxxxx

Where Optimus was…

Optimus' spark reached out once more for his mate, and all he got was emptiness. He felt sick now. He was lonely and scared without her. His processors swirled back toward his past.

Was he being punished?

He knew she loved him. Bonds don't lie. They don't lie, he knew that. His optics went to his servos; they were trembling so bad. He was in so much emotional distress, and he had no idea where Cemetery Wind was. If he couldn't find his mate now and he lost her, what would it matter if he died now?

She held him together. She was what kept him alive, and if he lost her he didn't care anymore if he lived or died it was as simple as that.

Xxxx

Kelly was annoyed with herself allowing herself to behave in that way.

"Oh, that man is insufferable!" she shouted not realizing he was standing in the kitchen with her.

"What's wrong, did I hit a soft spot?" Savoy asked as she fumed then.

"Touch me again, and I will rip your balls off and shove them down your throat!" She shouted.

"Play nice!" he demanded.

"I am NOT playing; I want you and your apes off my property!" Kelly ordered her eyes flared with fury.

Savoy chuckled then.

"I didn't say anything funny, Savoy," she growled.

"Maybe not, but I can't help but think you're afraid of liking me," Savoy mused.

Kelly laughed at those words.

"Think highly of yourself, don't you?" she asked sarcastically.

"It is a fact, doll," Savoy said.

"Don't call me that," Kelly remarked.

"Why not?" Savoy asked as he approached her and Kelly stiffened tension with fury.

"I am warning you not any closer!" she threatened as he approached her quickly and she tried to hold her ground.

He slammed her against the wall, and she grunted in pain. She glanced at Savoy; her eyes locked with his. She struggled in his arms.

"I did tell you never to point a weapon at me unless you intend to use it, and that also goes for threatening me. You will listen to me, and do everything I tell you to do, or I will just take what I want whenever I want it!" he simply said as his words struck fear in her heart then.

She wasn't even safe in her own home. She had to get out of here somehow, but how?
