“You only want this because of my name and money.”
“Of course I do.” She laughs. “I don’t want you, Noah. I just want to own you. I didn’t give up my identity and hope of happiness to be pushed aside. I will be the best CEO this world has ever seen. I will take my family name to new heights, and to get there, I need your name and connections, and I will get them. Nobody will get in my way, not even you and your feelings for that boy out there. I tried to be kind, but that wasn’t working, so now we are going to do it this way. You will walk away from him.”
“And if I don’t?”
“Don’t test me, Noah. I’ve been playing meek and coy all this time,but there is a reason my father chose me as his successor. I will do whatever it takes, and I don’t care who I have to ruin along the way,” she promises with a shrug as she drops her phone into her bag.
The door slams open, and I leap to my feet as Mackie steps into my office, looking furious. My stomach drops out, terror clutching at my chest as I beg him with my eyes not to misunderstand. The idea of losing him makes me want to throw up. “Baby, listen, it isn’t what it sounds like.” What if he leaves me? What if this breaks his heart and he walks away?
I can’t live without him. I can’t.
“Sit down,” he snaps, and I lower my ass into the seat as he rounds the desk. His hand rests on my shoulder as he glares at Amanda, and despite the circumstances, desire rolls through me at that soft, innocent touch.
“Ah, the plaything. You have some fire, but the adults are talking.”
“I wasn’t finished,” he growls, and her eyes widen. “I heard everything, but one look at you was enough to tell me what I needed to know. You’re nothing more than a spoiled rich girl who’s used to getting her way, but let me tell you something: that won’t work here. Starfire has been built from the ground up, hard work?—”
“So sad. Save me the sob story,” she scoffs. “Half of Starfire will be mine anyway.”
“Your parents apparently never taught you manners, since you keep interrupting me,” Mackie retorts, and her eyes narrow. Nobody speaks to her like that. I tug on his hand in warning, but he pulls it away, sitting where she was, blocking her from me. “I’m not letting him go anywhere, never mind marry you.”
“It’s cute that you think you have a choice.” She sniffs. “You’re just his dirty little secret. I have to thank you, really. Before you, Noah never had a weakness to exploit.”
“You see me as a weakness, but I know differently, and what you don’t seem to understand is that I have and always will do anything for Noah and his happiness. You’re fighting for money and power, but I’m fighting for someone I love.” My heart clenches, and I want to tug him into my arms and tell him I love him too, but he’sfocused on her, and she’s staring at him. Neither of them is backing down.
“Amanda, just leave. You’ll never get what you want,” I respond tiredly, trying to break them apart.
“No? I think I will.” She grins. “That’s the difference between you and me, Noah. You have everything to lose, while I have nothing. He’s a weakness, one I will carve from your life until you bleed. I’ll tell them. I’ll show them everything?—”
“Fine,” Mackie interrupts. “Tonight, at his parents’ house. Let’s finish this once and for all.” He stands and turns her toward the door. “Now get out. You aren’t welcome here, and if I see you in my boyfriend’s office one more time, I will toss you out on your stupid designer heels, little girl.”
She spins to give him a response, but he slams the door in her face. Her eyes widen and she reaches for the handle, so he locks it, waving at her through the glass before tugging the blinds down.
He doesn’t look at me, but his back is heaving.
I stand. “Baby,” I murmur softly.
He turns, his eyes on fire, and I shrink back under the fury I see on his face. “I was going to tell you. I promise. I’d already told them multiple times that I have no intention of marrying her. Even if I didn’t have you, it was always you,” I blurt, rushing the truth out in fear.
His eyes narrow, and before I know it, my chair is slammed back into the wall. My eyes widen as he pushes me into it and drops to his knees, yanking my pants open. He grabs my cock, and it hardens despite the fear I feel.
“Baby—” I say, but it ends in a groan as his lips wrap around my length. My eyes roll back into my head as I reach for him. “Mackie, Mackie . . .”
His mouth releases my hard as hell dick, and he meets my gaze. “I’m going to remind us both whom you belong to. Is that a problem? Or would you prefer I brought her back in here to watch? It might make her realize.”
Shaking my head, I grip his hair. “I’m yours, Mackie. I promise. I’ve never been and never will be hers. I’m sorry.”
“You can be sorry tonight and show me how much. For now, either I’ll go out there and kill that bitch or I’ll do this. Your choice.”
“You’d look good in a jumpsuit,” I admit, breathing heavily under the fierce anger in his gaze. Fuck, he’s beautiful. I don’t like hurting my boy, but I always loved fighting with him. “But then I’d have to commit a crime to get in there with you.”
He simply smirks as he drops his mouth to my length, sucking me to the back of his throat and holding me there. The sight and heat has my eyes rolling back as I grip his hair, mussing it as I fist the short locks and tug him free then back down. I take over, using his mouth.
His hand snakes up my thigh and higher, cupping and rolling my balls in his fingers before squeezing to the point of pain, yet pleasure slices through me, making my cock jerk. Moaning, he takes me deeper, saliva and precum dripping from his pretty mouth as I fuck him faster.
“Jesus, baby, your mouth is heaven,” I growl, uncaring who can hear. My pleasure is overwhelming me, and I know I won’t be able to hold out long. “It was made to suck me, wasn’t it? Fuck, you’re going to make me come and you’re going to swallow it all, aren’t you?”
He nods his head around my length as his other hand slides up under my shirt and grips my pec, squeezing at the same time he squeezes my balls, and it sends me over the edge.
