When she turned, placing her lace-covered ass against the window, her intentions clear, I ran for the front door. No way was my girl fingering herself when I should be the one to make her come.
My heart raced and my breathing was hard like I’d sprinted miles to get to her. There was a roaring in my ears when I opened her bedroom door and saw her little fingers rubbing the most perfect pussy in the world.
“Adam,” my name on her lips sounded devastated as she looked out the window to find me gone.
“I’m here.”
I didn’t know which of us moved first but I was the one to lift her naked body in the air and drop her to the bed. Part of me screamed that I should take it slow, to make Mia writhe and come on my tongue for hours before I gave in and found my release deep inside her.
The darkness ate that small voice and started a pulsing beat in my veins.Take her, take her now. She’s ours. Bind her to us so that we’re never alone again. Our Mia, our angel, ours.
I murmured apologies, begged her to forgive me for what I was about to do. Then Mia proved she was made for me by understanding, by allowing me to shove my big cock into her tightness over and over until we were both coming so hard the sheets were soaked beneath us. I’d pushed as far inside of her as I could go, holding myself deep until my stomach cramped.
Now I was lying next to the only woman I’d ever wanted and my gut was consumed with guilt, worry, fear. We’d both been lost to our desire, needing the release and closeness that only existed when we were in each other’s arms.
In mere hours she’d wake up and I couldn’t bear the look of disgust and betrayal that would stare back at me. I certainly couldn’t trust myself to sleep next to her. In the end, nothing had really changed. Mia and Miles might be safe from Avery but there was no one that could keep them safe from me. No one but myself.
Leaving her in bed, alone, was like ripping off my own skin. Pain shot through my body and I doubled over from the onslaught, my vision going blurry. The darkness howled inside my mind, pummeling me from the inside for taking him away from her.
Like an addict, I started sweating and my limbs shook as I dragged on my clothes and forced myself to leave. This couldn’t happen again, I needed to be more careful. Mia’s life could depend on it.

MIA
Waking up from a dreamless sleep, I slapped my phone until the alarm stopped.
Flopping onto my back, I registered the tender ache between my thighs. I’d loved every second of what Adam and I’d done last night and any discomfort I felt this morning was definitely worth it.
I ran my palm over the cool sheets next to me. Clearly, he’d been gone for a while. It wasn’t a surprise and though it was disappointing, I’d already made up my mind yesterday that I wasn’t going to let him disappear again. I was done waiting, done sitting back and allowing him to make all the choices for us. It was time for Adam to nut up and accept how things were going to be.
After I got dressed, I made sure Miles was ready for school. We ran through his list of sight words while we waited on the bus and once he was on, I went straight to my car and drove into town.
I’d never actually been inside of Falls Security, even though I’d spent a lot of time over the last few weeks glaring at the tinted windows. Part of me was surprised to find the front door unlocked, I’d half expected some fancy intercom and keypad system, maybe even a secret password. Then again, when all of the employees were muscled up, combat trained badasses, there were probably very few people who’d attempt something stupid like robbing them.
“Hey, flower girl! What’s up?”
The greeting came from a pink-haired pixie with a wide smile and perfectly applied makeup. She looked young, much too young to work there. She was in complete contrast to the heavy, serious waiting room. Her white button-down blouse was tucked into a pink skirt covered in green mushrooms and she wore cute silver glitter tennis shoes. She even had matching mushroom earrings dangling from her ears. Everything about her was adorable and innocent. It was hard to even imagine her in the same room as Gage and the rest of them.
“Um, hi, I’m Mia.”
I held out my hand and she reached over the computer monitor to shake it vigorously, a stack of multi-colored bangles jangling around her wrist. Every last inch of the clear, glass desk was covered in a rainbow of markers, pens and sticky notes. There was even a lamp shaped like a toaster with a smiley face. While that level of mess would have given me anxiety, it fit right in with her personality. She was a bundle of colorful chaos and I couldn’t help but return her smile.
“Right, sorry. Jesse,” she pointed to herself. “I’m assuming you’re here to see Gage?” She shuffled aside paperwork and a stress ball shaped like a platypus until she revealed a plain black desk phone that stuck out like a sore thumb amid all the color.
“Yeah, how’d you know?”
“He likes to take up half the waiting room like a giant, angry bear while he stares across the street. It’s like he’s trying to use the force to make you appear. That dude is not subtle about how obsessed he is with you.”
My cheeks warmed as a million tiny Mia’s did cartwheels inside my belly because the boy she liked, liked her back. The goofy smile on my face must have told Jesse that I was one hundred percent okay with this because she gave me a knowing smile in return and winked.
“I forgot,” she slapped her forehead and sent the bangles jingling. “They’re all in the gym, it’s sparring day.” She jerked her thumb over her shoulder toward a door at the end of the hallway. The sounds of music pumping and loud thumps followed by grunts of exertion drifted toward us.
“In fact,” she said, drawing my eyes again as she flipped a purple pen expertly over her knuckles and back. “I’d be happy to take you back there. Sparring day is my favorite, even better than donut Fridays.” She bounced in her sparkly tennis shoes down the hall, leaving me no choice but to follow.
The closer we got to the door, the louder the music. I’d been confident this morning, ready to stare down a man that was more than a foot taller than me and packed with muscle. But now that I was here and Jesse was opening the door, I felt my confidence waning.
“Dear God, this is better than the why choose orc romance I’ve been reading.”
