I quickly drink what’s left and hand the bottle to him. His fingers brush mine as he takes it, lingering a second longer than necessary. A spark ripples along my arm as I pull away, and I see a knowing smirk pull at the corner of Zak’s mouth.
“Sure,” I reply, shuffling back and tucking my legs beneath me. My eyes follow him as he leaves, trailing down his body as my tongue swipes out to wet my dry lips.
As he disappears out of sight, I turn back to find Maddox grinning at me. The smile I didn’t even know I was wearing slides off my face at getting caught checking Zak out. And this feeling right now is another issue with what happened between me and each of these two men. Brothers, not by blood, nonetheless. Blood doesn’t always make a family.
Attempting to gloss over my blatant staring at Zak, I answer Maddox’s original question.
“I’m waiting for the final report, but—”
“You don’t need to hide it, you know?” Maddox cuts me off, and at the confused look on my face, he continues, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, Roxanne.”
I’m not ready for this conversation. “I need to go make a phone call. I’ll see you later,” I tell him, rising to my feet. As I do, I’m met with a hard wall of muscle blocking my way. My breath stutters in my lungs, and my skin heats at the closeness of him. Before I have a chance to move back, Maddox reaches out, tucking my hair behind my ear. As his finger brushes the shell of my ear, he continues, trailing it all the way down, over the pulse in my neck and across until he reaches my chin. With gentle pressure, he lifts my face up so that I’m looking right at him.
He steps impossibly closer, and this time my breath doesn’t stutter but ceases altogether as he dips his head and brings his lips to mine with the barest touch. It’s a mere second that feels like an eternity before he deepens the kiss, and I fall.
I hear the faint clinking of glass, but it’s eclipsed as Maddox’s hand grasps my nape, gripping me tight and holding me there. His tongue delves into my mouth, and the sweet taste that is uniquely him along with the bitter tang of beer elicits a groan.
Hands grip my hips, and it takes me a second to realise they aren’t Maddox’s. They slide up my torso, fingers skimming over my breasts before working their way back down and across my stomach.
As Maddox continues to possess my mouth, a second set of lips meet my neck, laving at my skin, teeth grazing over the tender junction between my neck and shoulder.
I feel hands all over my body, and the unmistakable feel of Zak’s erection grinding into my arse.
My head drops back, breaking the kiss and resting on the shoulder behind me as Maddox trails a path down my neck with his lips. Hands inside my t-shirt, push it up and over my breasts, revealing them to Maddox who eagerly takes a nipple into his mouth, and my back arches, pitching my pelvis forward where I feel Maddox’s hard length brush against my core. It’s the smallest touch, yet it builds an immense desire for more.
A hand slips beneath the waistband of my joggers, searing over my skin on its path to my pussy and draws a growl of approval from Zak when he finds me bare.
“Fuck, Rox, you’re drenched,” he groans, dipping a finger between my folds and circling my clit before easily pushing two fingers inside. He curls them just as Maddox’s teeth graze my nipple, sending a jolt of pleasure-pain through me. I turn my head, breath ghosting over my lips a second before Zak takes my mouth.
The taste of him on my tongue collides with the taste of Maddox from minutes before. It’s erotic and so fucking hot. But then the reality of what I’m doing pops like a confetti filled balloon in my lust crazed mind as hands begin to slide my joggers down over my hips.
“Stop,” I whisper, but it comes out breathy, not at all how I had intended thanks to Zak’s continued assault on my pussy. My body completely at odds with my mind.
Blocking out the screaming, wanton whore that’s taken residence in my head, I make a grab for my joggers just as Maddox continues to slide them down my legs. This time when I speak, it comes out firmer.
“Stop. Stop.” I pull away, pushing Zak back so I can escape the heady and intoxicating pull of them both. Stepping aside, I right my clothes, covering myself, as I put more space between us. “I can’t do this.” I say, moving further away from them and their wide-eyed looks. “God, what am I doing?”
“Rox, it’s—”
I shake my head. “No! Don’t say it’s okay, Zak. It’s so not.” I look to Maddox as he stands with his hands at his sides. His fists twitch, and the veins on his arms pop with each movement. Fuck, I must be out of my freaking mind to have stopped what was happening. My eyes flick back to Zak as he moves a step closer. I take a step back, putting my hand up to stop his advance. “Don’t, please.” I ignore the worried look in his eyes and quickly leave the room.
In my room, I collapse on the bed, burying my head in the covers to hide my cries of frustration. There are no tears, just venting.
Sufficiently purged of my annoyance, I sit up and snatch my phone from the bedside table where I’d left it charging.
I take a couple of deep breaths to centre myself as I pull up the number. Once I’m certain I can speak to her without breaking apart, I hit call.
“Rox? You okay?”
I swallow down the instantaneous lump that forms in my throat at the sound of her voice and force words out through the narrowed space. “I’m okay. Look, I need your help. Well, actually, Rick’s help too.”
“First off, I call bullshit on the‘I’m okay’line you just spun me. But it’s fine, I’ll see for myself when I get there. Now, tell me what you need?”
I give Jess a brief overview of what I need. During which I realise that we need to check on Eva.
Once I’m done, Jess tells me that her and Rick will be here tomorrow. She doesn’t try to pry any further information out of me, but I know once she gets here tomorrow, there will be no escaping her interrogation.
Ending the call, I check the time to see it’s late, and there’s probably not much I can do about Eva tonight. Then I wonder if anyone has checked on Axel.
