Getting up as well, I cross my arms across my chest. “And I think you should move in with us.”

Ah, fuck… This is not at all what I meant to say. I was going to apologize, to explain that I want to fix the distance between us… I absolutely wasn’t going to push her further.

“W-what?” she gasps, and I can’t blame her for looking shocked. “Are you kidding me right now?”

I shake my head. “No, but I know some excellent jokes if you want to turn that frown upside down.” Yep, it’s official. My mouth has somehow disconnected itself from my brain. Gone rogue on operation, let’s see how angry we can make Mia before she kicks me in the balls.

Tralalalala.

I’m fully expecting Mia to kick me, scream, punch, to… Anything but leap at and push me up against the wall to climb me like a jungle tree.

“Shut up. Don’t say anything else, just shut up.” She growls before her lips are on mine.

My hands slide down her back until I reach her ass, and then I squeeze the globes harder than I probably should.

“I can feel how hard you are for me,” she purrs and angles her head to lick and bite the shell of my ear while rolling her hips against me.

She’s not wrong. I’m fucking painfully hard, and my cock is twitching by the mere thought of being buried to the hilt inside her. But… That’s not going to happen, or maybe it will… Later.

“Sweets,” I pant. When she doesn’t stop kissing, licking, and biting me, I move one hand to her hair and force her mouth away from my skin. “You have to stop.” I walk over to the kitchen counter that has haunted my memories for so long and sit her down. Mia’s displeasure with being stopped is written all over her face, and I think I’m wearing a similar look.

Mia looks at me from beneath her long and dark eyelashes. “Why?” It comes out like an irritated huff, and I like how annoyed she sounds. “Is this because of Coen?”

“Why would he have anything to do with it?” I muse, thoroughly intrigued by whatever made her ask me that. “Is this some elaborate ploy where he’s told you not to have sex, so you’re acting out?”

That finally turns her frown upside down, and she smiles at me. “No, he hasn’t, and I can’t imagine he would.”

I shrug and say, “What do I know? You want him to order you around, and I don’t think any of us know what that entails. The more I think about it; it doesn’t seem to work, though, does it? I doubt he told you to sneak out of the house and send us into a blind panic when we couldn’t find you.”

“But I—”

I place one finger on her lips. “No, I’m talking right now. I am curious, does CJ need to tell you to stay for you not to do something like that?”

“No, of course not.” Her eyes flash with annoyance.

Taking my time, I study her face as I try to understand what she’s going through. “Then I don’t understand why you asked if CJ put out a sex ban?”

She doesn’t look away from my eyes, and I like that about her. Consistently strong and not willing to back down. “Because I wouldn’t let him eat me out, so I left him.”

I throw my head back and laugh at her unexpected answer. “Hmm, I think you know him better than that,” I muse with laughter in my voice. “We’re getting off track here, though. You said I don’t have to be sorry and that we’re fine, but we aren’t. You sacrificed your body and mind to keep CJ and my sister safe. That’s a large cosmic debt, sweets. And I like to repay what I owe.”

Unable to stop touching her, I move even closer and wrap my arms around her back. When she pouts, I feel like I need to kiss her, so I do. It’s slow and teasing, and when she tries to get me to open up for her, I move to her neck.

“You don’t owe me anything,” she pants. “And I don’t want to talk about any of that.”

Well, of course not. No one ever does, I think before saying, “I don’t think you have a choice. If you don’t talk to someone, it will just eat away at you. You’re carrying so much shit around inside of you, I don’t think you realize how much it’s affecting you. One minute you seem fine, then you retreat within yourself, and the only thing that seems to hold any interest for you is making Mr. Riley pay.”

“Neil!”

“Right, right… Neil. Making Neil pay.”

Mia pulls away from my lips and scoots further in on the counter she’s sitting on. “Don’t you think I have the right to make him pay?”

Shaking my head, I pull her back to me. “You do, but I’m not sure you can handle it. And I don’t want you to ruin your life and your sanity. Be angry with me for that if you want. It won’t change anything. Have you ever talked with CJ about what his system is when he’s breaking in a new pet? Did you really hear what Alec was saying after he made Neil hurt himself?”

Even though it’s a rhetorical question, I still wait for her to answer. I’ve already asked CJ about this, and I know she’s asked. Alec told us all about what happened before we watched the recording. I have to say he impressed me. Who would have thought that my brother from another mother, who values life so much, had it in him? I know I didn’t. Although a part of me is almost sad that Alec has crossed over to the dark side, I’m mostly happy. As fucked up as it sounds, I’m happy he held on to that piece of himself and didn’t give it away until he found someone worthy.

I involuntarily cringe as I realize it sounds like I’m thinking of his virginity and not his first time torturing someone. On the other hand, Mia is the first he’s ever done something like that for, so I suppose she did pop his cherry.
