“I can tell when you’re lying, Sof,” he says in a soft tone. “Something’s wrong. What is it?”
Tears flood my eyes. “Everything and nothing,” I choke out pitifully. “I have a dream job and a dream boyfriend. My life is perfect.”
“But…” he urges.
“But my brother hates me.”
“He doesn’t hate you. And this isn’t new. What else is it?”
With a huff, I step back and cross my arms over my chest. “I understand you have a past with other little girls like me, but I don’t like having it flaunted in my face.”
His brows lift. “Elaborate.”
My bottom lip wobbles. “Eve and Starla. I overheard Eve talking to your ex-girlfriend.” And while he’d been upfront about his most recent relationship, I didn’t think about the girls who came before me until today. “Starla still wants you.”
He presses his lips into a firm line and narrows his eyes. “I only want you, Sof. I’m pretty sure I’ve made this abundantly clear.” He steps closer, and I wilt at his alluring nearness. “I didn’t move any girl besides you into my home.”
“You bought them cars instead,” I state bitterly.
He lets out a heavy sigh. “Look, I won’t apologize for the man I am. All my past relationships have led me to this place. But while they were simply tests or experimental relationships, no one but you has ever gripped me by the heart and demanded my undivided attention. All I see is you, Sof.”
When he pulls me into a hug, I soften and rest my cheek on his chest.
“I wrote a song,” I breathe. “I wanted to surprise you with it. I just…it has to do with you taking care of me, and now…”
“Now what?”
“It feels cheapened.” The truth hurts.
He grips my jaw and tilts my head up. His intense brown eyes sear into mine. “Nothing about what we do—what we are is cheap. Don’t let a few words of others work their way into your head and make you doubt us. The moment I saw you, I dropped Starla. She was for passing time until I found the right one.”
“And I’m the right one?” I ask. “Until the stripper shows up?”
His features harden. “I’ve allowed your tantrum, sweetheart, but now you’re getting disrespectful and I’ve done nothing to deserve it.”
The disappointment in his features has me bursting into tears. Normally, him spanking me turns me on, but right now, I feel like I’ve let him down by letting self-doubt get me down. He hugs me tight and kisses the top of my head.
“Listen to me, sweetheart. I love us. I love being with you. I love hearing you sing in the mornings when you get dressed for the day. I love watching you sleep and the way you cry out when you lose yourself to an orgasm. I love shopping and dining with you. I love being with you.” He places his palms on my cheeks and kisses my forehead. “Take away all the kink of what we are, and I still love us. Got it?”
“I’m sorry,” I say sadly.
“Don’t be sorry,” he croons. “I’d be pissed as fuck if I had to hear about your ex-boyfriends talking about how much they still want you. I get it and I’ll have a talk with Eve to keep her personal conversations to her lunch hour. But promise me you’ll squash my past and live in the present with me.”
I smile at him. “I promise.”
“And I can’t wait to hear that song, Sof. You’re so fucking talented.” He beams at me. “Bastian says you’re a natural with songwriting. I had no doubts, which is why I wanted you having ultimate creative control with your music.” He playfully pinches my cheek. “I was taking care of my little girl long before she knew it.”
God, he’s so sexy when he’s playful.
I slide my palm down to the front of his slacks and rub him until his cock is straining against the fabric.
“Now you’re being a bad girl,” he growls. “You know I like to keep the work stuff separate from the hot as hell stuff. The banter and flirting and hugging and kissing is fine, but—”
I pull at his buckle. “Did you fuck them in here?”
His eyes darken. “No. I told—”
“Did they suck you off in here?” I interrupt, unfastening his pants and pulling his dick into my hand.
“No.”
“Good,” I purr as I drop to my knees. “This makes me different, right?”
He groans and his eyes roll back when I lick his crown. “Fuck, yes, sweetheart.”
I take him fully in my mouth, loving the painful grip on my hair as he loses control to the pleasure.
“Jesus, Sof, you’re going to kill me.”
Sliding off his dick, I look up at him and grin. “I’m marking my territory and staking my claim.”
His eyes flash with darkness and lust. “You’re still getting punished for breaking the rules.”
