“It’s not drastic at all. No one touches you. No one makes you feel uncomfortable and gets away with it. You aremine.”He growls the last word and tugs me closer to him. “I protect what’s mine.” I search his face, looking for any hint of deception, but I again find none. He brushes my damp hair out of my face and then wraps a hand around my throat. A move that should make me flinch, but I melt into it every time. I feel the heat spread throughout my core as his eyes bore into mine.
My cheeks begin to flame and I try to break eye contact but that only causes Maverick’s grip to tighten around my throat. When he’s looking at me in this way, it feels like he reallyseesme. Not just the shallow parts of myself that most people see, but all of me. And that thought scares the shit out of me. I hold his gaze with determination even though my stomach is in knots.
What if he sees the parts I’ve meticulously kept buried? The part of me that took a life–that’s lying about who I really am.
My thoughts are interrupted when he leans forward and presses a featherlight kiss to my lips that makes me dizzy. Then, he grabs my body wash and squeezes some into his other palm.
“Let’s get cleaned up and into bed.” He says. Turning around to face away from him, he begins at my shoulders, then works his hands down my arms. He comes back up and slides his hands down my front to my breasts–massaging them as he washes me. My soft moan echoes throughout the bathroom and he continues down to my stomach, washing every inch of my skin. I close my eyes then lean my head back onto his shoulder and he snickers. His tattooed hands dip under the water and push my thighs apart. He grips the insides of them tightly and my back arches off of his chest slightly.
“I love how responsive you are to my touch.” He whispers in my ear. His fingers creep to the apex of my thighs and my body jerks, still sensitive from earlier. He brushes my clit and I let out a whimper. He begins to rub lazy circles around it and my body jerks forward. He wraps an arm up over my left shoulder diagonally across my torso, slamming me back into him.
“Where do you think you’re going?” He chuckles darkly in my ear, then pulls my lobe between his teeth. He applies a bit more pressure on my clit and begins rubbing faster.
“Please.” I say breathlessly. “It’s too much.” My skin lights on fire as he plunges two fingers inside of me, stretching my sore pussy. It hurts, but feels so damn good at the same time.
“You can do it. Breathe, Sweetheart.” He says and begins thrusting his fingers. I toss my head back onto his chest again and he pins me to him tighter with his arm still stretched across my torso.
“Ah!” I moan as he curls his fingers and they hit my most sensitive spot. His teeth nibble down on my ear again and he picks up the pace with his fingers. My neck arches and stars crowd my vision as the orgasm slams into me with a force I’ve never felt before.
All of a sudden he pulls his fingers out of me, releases his hold on my torso and rises to a stand. He hurriedly gets out of the water then bends down to let it down the drain. My body begins to shudder and he reaches over to pull me out of the tub. When my feet are set on the floor, he grabs my towel off the hook and hastily dries me off.
“What are you doing?” I ask in a haze.
“I need you. Now.” He declares, then grabs my thighs and lifts me off of the floor. My legs wrap around his waist and he carries me into the bedroom. We reach the bed and he tosses me onto the mattress. Through hooded eyes, I look up to see his beautiful green ones blazing with desire. Heat pools at my center and I squirm under his watchful gaze. He bites his lower lip and prowls toward me. The way he looks me up and down and stalks in my direction slowly over the mattress, has me feeling like I’m being hunted, like I’m caught in a trap. I realize quickly that I don’t wantto be set free.
Maverick pushes my thighs apart and positions himself at my entrance. He wastes no time thrusting into me fully and my back bows off the bed. I let out a moan at the feel of how my pussy stretches around his thick shaft. He begins fucking me at a punshing speed and I explode almostimmediately. He fucks me through my orgasm, not letting up then grabs my face to direct my gaze to him. He continues his intense pace, and I feel my pussy tighten around his dick.
“That’s it, pretty girl. Come for me again.” He demands breathlessly and his lips slam into mine. His tongue pushes through my lips and swirls around mine, and I meet him with equal need. My thighs start to shake and he breaks the kiss to sit back on his heels. He grips under my thighs and lifts my hips off of the bed. He thrusts in again and I feel him deeper than I thought he could go, and I immediately shatter around him.
“Maverick!” I scream and my neck arches.
“Fuuuck, Sweetheart. That’s it. Say my fucking name.” He growls and starts pounding into my pussy. “Who’s are you, pretty girl? Tell me who you fucking belong to.”
“Yours! Oh fuck.” I gasp as he continues fucking me. “I’m yours.” My vision goes blurry and I feel wetness pool at my center once more.
“God damn right you are.Mine.”His body stills and his dick twitches inside me as my pussy pulses around him.
We stay that way for a few minutes, coming down from our high. Maverick slowly lowers my hips back to the bed then gently eases himself out of me. And just like earlier tonight, he pushes two fingers back inside me while staring at my pussy, then peppers kisses on the inside of my thighs. My chest heaves as I try to pull air back into my lungs, and I feel my heavy eyes begin to close.
Once he’s satisfied I won’t lose any of his come, he turns my body on the bed to lay with my head on the pillow, then covers me with a blanket before disappearing from the side of the bed. I shift to lay on my side, facing away from the bathroom door. A moment later I feel him gather my still soaked hair in his hands, and he starts running a towel through it. My eyes widen, surprised at the gesture, but I don’t move. I’ve never been taken care ofafter sex, and even though it surprises me, I decide to revel in the fact that he’s taking care of me. He finishes drying my hair then I hear him walk back into the bathroom to hang up the towel.
The bed dips beside me as he slides into the spot that’s remained empty since I’ve lived out here. At that moment, I decide I like the way he looks in my bed. He stifles a yawn then turns to look at me.
“Goodnight, Sweetheart.” Maverick whispers and drops a tender kiss on my forehead.
“Goodnight.” I whisper back and offer him a sleepy smile. He lays on his back then wraps his arm around me, tucking me into his side. Placing my hand on his chest right above his heart, the steady beat lulls me into a deep sleep.
Chapter twenty-six
Exiting the interstate, Itake a left and head south towards Perdition. My thoughts are not even on the meeting I’m driving to, but completely on the woman I left in bed. I woke her up this morning with my head between her legs and devoured her until she shattered all over my face. When she was spent and could barely hold her eyes open, I slid my cock inside her and took everything she had left. The thought of leaving her after only a few hours next to her was driving me crazy. The sound of her begging for more has been the soundtrack in my mind during the drive this morning, and I’m ready to turn the fuck around and get back to her.
Perdition Hotel and Casino - 2 miles
The road sign lets me know we’ve almost reached our destination and Karson speaks up.
“Slater’s already parked at the valet entrance and said he’s waiting for us outside the doors.” He tucks his phone back in his pocket and pulls out a piece of spearmint gum. He tosses it into his mouth and looks out the window, taking in the scenery surrounding the casino. Trees surround us on either side, and stretch in front of us as far as the eye can see. The temperature today is significantly cooler than it was yesterday, causing fog to linger in the air, giving the surrounding area a horror movie-like feel.The casino is close enough to the highway to be easily accessible, but there’s nothing else around for a few miles in either direction.
