Madison breathlessly pulls away while I groan low in my throat. I want this woman with every inch of my body, but I won’t push. Yes, Madison has made substantial progress, but physically, she’s still stuck in the past—a past that involves her asshole brother defiling her in unspeakable ways. I clench my jaw, thinking about what he did to her, but I rein in my temper because that’s what supportive boyfriends do.
“So I just came by to say hi,” she says, her beautiful smile lighting up the room.
“Well, hello,” I reply, nuzzling her neck, her smell driving me wild.
She giggles, turning into my embrace. “What time is your next appointment?”
“Appointment? I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I playfully reply, drawing on her neck in a long, wet pull.
She gasps under my lips. “Dixon.”
I sigh, pulling away with a pout. “Fine, you win. For now,” I add with a wink.
She laughs once again, and I smile, loving how carefree she’s become. “We still on for tonight?” she nervously asks, and once again, I restrain my seething temper.
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
Tonight is the engagement party of her stepsister andbrother. It is also the night I meet her mother, Rachel, and her stepfather, Sebastian. Like I mentioned, we’ve been taking things slow, but this is a big step for Madison, and I’m going to try my hardestnot to make a scene when I meet her brother. Visions of me beating him to death with his own limbs have been playing on a loop in my head since she invited me, but I will do everything in my power to remain calm because I can only imagine how Madison feels.
She hasn’t said much about her stepsister, but from what she has shared, it’s safe to assume there would be no tears shed if she contracted an incurable disease and dropped dead tomorrow.
I need to be strong for Madison because I don’t know how she’ll react to seeing Dylan. She mentioned she hasn’t seen her brother in over a year, so tonight will test her mental and physical strength. It sure as shit will test mine.
I know she’s made progress, but dealing with what that bastard did to her will be an ongoing battle for her. All I can do is provide her the unconditional love and support she deserves, and show her that nothing willeverchange my feelings toward her.
“Thank you,” she says, nervously tugging on her lip. “I don’t think I could do this without you.”
“Yes, you could,” I affirm, brushing her cheek with my thumb. “You’re capable of anything you set your mind to.”
“Anything?”
I nod. “Anything. I mean, you entrapped me, didn’t you?” I say with a laugh when she playfully slaps my shoulder.
“I think the feeling was mutual,” she replies with a dimpled smile.
“It was more than mutual,” I say, my voice lowering when I remember the first time we kissed.
“Dixon,” she says, her cheeks flushing.
“Madison,” I playfully counter, wrapping my arms around her waist and drawing her close. “I’ll pick you up at seven?”
“Sounds like a plan,” she replies, her breath hitching when I lean forward and kiss her cheek.
“Okay, well, I’ll see you then.” I unhappily pull away, not wanting to ever let her go.
“Can’t wait,” she whispers. “I’ll see you tonight.”
She gives me a quick peck on the lips and leaves me staring at her perfect ass as she exits my office, wondering how a son of a bitch like me ended up with someone as incredible as her.
“Are you sure we can’t skip this gathering and have our own gathering at my place?” I ask, nuzzling into Madison’s exposed neck as we ride the elevator to the twenty-second floor.
“I…wish.” She gasps as I nip her collarbone. “But I’ve told my mother we’re coming, and she really”—she giggles as I tongue her ear—“wants to meet you.” I sigh against her neck. “We’ll stay for an hour, tops.”
“If we must,” I reply, pulling away, my eyes dropping to her amazing breasts, which are pushed up to the high heavens in the gorgeous red strapless dress she’s wearing.
“We must, although if you keep looking at me like that, I don’t know if we’ll make it out of this elevator anytime soon,” she says, her smoky eyes doing an appraisal of my sharp Armani suit.
Just as I’m about to pounce on her offer, the elevator dings, indicating we have reached our floor. I feel Madison tense up, and my heart breaks at what she’s currently going through. My brave girl is taking her first step toward freedom, and I’m with her every step of the way.
