Chapter 2

Puck was beginning to get frustrated, really fucking frustrated. It didn't matter how many times he had fucked his girls he still couldn't get Rachel out of his head. He'd quite happily be sitting back enjoying the sensation of a hot, wet, willing mouth around his cock and a tongue flicking over his head when he would look down and instead of the actual girl he would see a vision of Rachel. Her pouting lips were wrapped around his cock, her deep brown eyes would bore deep into his and he would come almost immediately, before remembering that it wasn't Rachel at all. He didn't know what it meant, but he hated the fact it kept happening.

He had decided that the only way to get her out of his head was just to fuck her out, but this was proving easier said than done. Rachel had refused and rebuffed all his advances, something that had never, ever, happened before. Seriously he had tried everything he could think of, but still nothing was working, she still refused to sleep with him.

Hell he had even said that she didn't need to join the harem, he just wanted a little Rachel-lovin' every now and then, but no, she just said 'she would not be objectified and defiled by some heathen brute' before whipping around and storming out of whichever room they happened to be in. Puck had to admit she was so hot when she got all riled up like that, but seeing her act like that just made him want her even more, which just made him even more frustrated. It was a vicious fucking circle.

Puck had decided it was time for drastic action, this time tomorrow Rachel would be in his bed and his life could go back to normal.

Rachel meanwhile was busy planning her next escape.

She had been with Puck for nearly a month and every attempt to run away had, so far, been thwarted. If it hadn't been for Matt and Mike, Puck personal security guards, Rachel was sure that she would have been able to trick some of the other staff members into let her slip away. Every time Rachel had come close to finally being free Matt and Mike would appear, as if from nowhere, and drag her back to the house, locking her in her room. The door never remained locked for long though as Puck insisted she wasn't a prisoner, but that's exactly what Rachel felt like.

It wasn't that she really hated staying with Puck; it was just that she had a plan and she was trying to stick to it. Rachel desperately wanted to perform and Broadway had been her dream for so long that she wasn't willing to give it up easily. Of course this meant that the other girls that lived in the Palace hadn't really taken to her very well, especially after her first attempt at running away.

Santana had taken offence when she had discovered that Rachel had refused to become a member of the harem. She could still vividly remember the screeching tirade she had overheard. 'Who the fuck does she think she is? She should be fucking honoured that you want her in your harem! What a stuck up little bitch! Doesn't she know how much fucking better a life she could have here? Does she want to be left starving on the fucking street? Someone needs to remove the stick from up her ass!'

Rachel had been listening at the door as Santana ranted and raved while Puck had tried to calm her down and she had became worried when the screaming abruptly stopped. She found herself opening the door separating her room from Puck's as quietly as possible so that she could see just what was going on between Puck and Santana. What she hadn't been expecting to see was a naked Santana bent over the end of Puck's bed as he pounded into her, grunting with the force of his thrusts. Of course, she should have realised that Puck would use his own special talents to calm Santana down.

Rachel had quickly closed the door and made her way into her bathroom, turning the shower to cold as she stripped down and stepped under the spray, desperately trying to calm herself down. Her body was betraying her mind as she felt heat pooling low in her stomach but she refused to do anything about it; she was going to remain pure and untouched until she was married, and if Rachel was anything she was determined.

There had been a lot of cold showers since that very first time. Puck was certainly trying to break her defences down and sometimes, more times than she was willing to admit, she was very close to throwing herself at him and letting him do whatever he wanted to her. But when she started to feel that way she remembered that Puck didn't love her and that he would only be using her to fulfil a basic physical need.

Rachel was trying to figure out what routes she had not yet tried when there was a knock at her door. Looking up she saw Puck making his way into the room and Rachel felt her heart rate quicken as she realised he was only wearing a towel.

"What can I do for you Noah?" Rachel asked trying to keep her voice dripping with disdain.

Puck looked at her with the most infuriating expression on his face that Rachel couldn't decide if she wanted to smack or kiss off. "I was just thinking about going for a swim, care to join me?"

"No thank you, I'm quite happy staying in my room."

"Come on Rachel it's just swimming, no funny business I promise."

Rachel felt her resolve fading as she looked up into his gorgeous hazel eyes and before she knew what was happening she had agreed to come down to the pool.

"Oh and clothing is optional, but none is preferred"

Rachel watched as he left and a felt blush creeping all over her body as she realised that he and probably all his girls would be naked. But she still went to her dresser took out a bikini, hastily changed and made her way down to the pool.

Puck had been surprised when Rachel had agreed to come to the pool without much of a fight, he just worried that she would get cold feet when she realised that none of the other girls would be there. Puck knew that there was more than a little animosity between Santana and Rachel, so he had been sure to pick a night when his girls were engaged in their own activities. It was strange that this was the first time he had not been tempted to join the three of them as they enjoyed each other. Puck thought that Rachel should be grateful that he was willing to spend an evening with her instead of with three girls willing to fulfil his every desire.

As he waited anxiously for her Puck removed his towel and dived into the pool, swimming to the furthest edge so he would see Rachel arrive. He knew that she wasn't really happy living with him and he knew that she wanted Broadway, but he hoped that once she listened to what he had to say to her tonight she would start to appreciate him more.

He was going to asked her to be the star attraction at his new bar, a new venture for him. His financial advisor, Artie, was still more than a little hesitant about the project as it was nothing like the other businesses they ran, but Puck was certain that they could really make this work, especially with Rachel at the helm.

"Noah, where are you?"

"Over here Rach." Puck watched as she walked towards him, groaning inwardly at the sway of her hips in her tiny gold bikini, seriously it was so small she may as well be naked. As Puck watched her stand at the pool edge nervously, he thought she had never looked more beautiful, which stirred feelings inside him that ran further than just wanting to fuck her, she was trying to kill him, he was sure of it.

"Where are the girls?"

"Oh they're busy having 'girls only night', Brittany wanted to invite you but I told her we had plans. Aren't you going to get in? The water's lovely." God I sound like such a fucking pussy.

Rachel quickly slipped into the pool but remained at the opposite side from Puck, feeling her cheeks flush when she realised she was disappointed that he was wearing trunks.

Puck fought the urge to swim over to her, knowing that she would start to freak out at his 'inappropriate behaviour'. "So I have a business proposition for you."

"We've been over this a thousand times Noah, I will not engage in any form of sexual activity with you, not now or ever. I should have known better than think you would want to speak to me like an actual civilised adult instead of the sex depraved deviant that you are!" Rachel began swimming towards the steps before she felt Noah hand wrap around her ankle and pull her back until she was leaning back against the side of the pool trapped between his arms.

"Get your mind out of the gutter Rach; I actually want to talk to you about a business venture."

Rachel was having a real difficulty focusing on anything but Puck's chest, it just looked amazing, wet and muscular and so very close.

"So what do you think?"

Shaking her head slightly to clear it Rachel looked up at Puck's expectant face. "Sorry what did you say?"

Puck smirked as he realised that Rachel had been so busy looking at his body she hadn't heard a single word of his little speech. "I asked you if you wanted to be the star at my new bar. You'll be able to sing, dance and perform, all your own composition, you can be in charge of all the entertainment."

"What kind of bar? I hope you are not trying to set me up in some kind of brothel!"

"No Rach it's going to be a real upmarket place, a little mini Broadway right here in Lima. People will come from miles around just for a glimpse of the talented Rachel Berry." Puck knew that if he was going to get Rachel to agree to his plan he would have to appeal to the performer in her, she would never give up the chance to be on the stage.

"What makes you think that I would want to perform for you?"

Puck's mind was suddenly thinking back to this morning when he had awoken from a very vivid dream of Rachel performing a striptease. It had been so erotic that he had gone straight to the harem and told the girls to strip for him, but even as they had moved around him removing their clothing it had spectacularly failed to live up to the dream, probably due to the fact it wasn't Rachel standing in front of him pushing her panties from her body.

He had still managed perform, he was Puck after all, and ensured each of the girls came at least once, but once he had returned to his room he could hear Rachel singing in her room and his cock was instantly hard again. He had never had to take care of his business himself before, well at least since he had become Sultan, but he couldn't help but slide his hand around his cock as he listened to her beautiful voice until his breathing became erratic and he came hard.

Realising Rachel was still ranting in front of him about his barbaric lifestyle and obtuse values Puck did the only thing he could think of, he kissed her, taking full advantage of her surprised gasp to plunge his tongue in sweeping over the roof of her mouth before stroking her tongue.

It took Rachel a few moments to regain her self-control and quickly pushed Puck away, her chest heaving with anger. "How dare you kiss me like that Puckerman! I can't believe you are so disrespectful that you would invade my personal space and violate me in such a manner."

"Rach, I'm sorry, fuck I just couldn't help myself, I couldn't think of another way to get your attention." Puck tried to move back closer to her but was cut off by a look that seriously made him fear for his balls.

"So you thought the best course of action was to stick your disgusting tongue in my mouth! I think that it would be best if I left now, God knows what you'll try to do if we try to continue to have a conversation."

Rachel swiftly made her way to the pool steps and grabbed her towel wrapping it tightly around her body before turning around towards Puck again. "I will come and inspect this bar before I make my decision. I am well aware that to make it I need to ensure that my voice is in its peak condition and I will concede that for this to happen I need to hone my talent which I may be able to do at your bar, if it is up to my high standards."

Puck watched as Rachel turned and almost ran back to the house before he allowed himself to smile. He may not have managed to get in her bikini tonight but he was definitely heading in the right direction. After swimming a few lengths to calm down his body he made his way up to his girls hoping to release some of the tension in his body caused by being so close to Rachel without being able to touch her the way he really wanted.

Rachel watched from the shadows as Puck pushed open the door to the girl's room. She heard the squeals as they pulled him further into the room and saw them wrapping their arms around him before the door was slammed shut, blocking Rachel from their world.
