“Mathias,” The words comes out in a staccato cadence.
“Say it,” he demands, fucking me into another dimension.
“I belong to you, Mathias.” I say it against his lips as his hips grind hard against my pelvis, the rough curls surrounding the base of his dick rubbing my overly sensitive clit, making me fracture. He fucks me through the orgasm. Flipping me over, he fucks me from behind like a rag doll, grabbing my ass and watching me clench around him, playing with my pussy until I’m coming again. Then, when I’m pliant and spent, he pumps his hot come into me, filling me until it overflows.
ChapterSixteen
Nikki
“Take these,”Mimi tells me as she hands me a cup of water and some pills.
“What are they?” I ask, my voice hoarse, my tummy cramps like nothing I’ve ever experienced.
“Percocet. No, take them,” she demands, shoving the pills back to me. “You’re not going to have problems just because Uncle Josiah had problems, Nik.”
“I guess you haven’t seen my habitually tipsy sister sashaying around town,” I say dryly, tossing the pills back in one swallow.
“Yeah, there is more to Kandie’s drinking than that. Stuff she doesn’t share with anyone. Plus, after losing Kareina, you, and your parents, she had to find a way to cope.”
“I know. I wasn’t shading her. I would never.” Shame making my tummy clench harder.
She nods. “I know. Still. A few days of taking Percocet ain’t going to make you into an addict or a drunk. There’s only so much I can give you anyway, as prohibited by law. Now you need to cancel whatever events you have over the next couple of days and rest.”
Trepidation skitters through me at having to explain to Mathias why I can’t go with him—I had Misoprostol implanted and a copper IUD implanted. His words about breeding me scared the heck out of me. Easy was pregnant before she even left Angel last year. She’d just found out before having to run away from him. And my daddy’s side of the family is known to be fertile; we’re one of the largest families in the state.
“I’ll manage,” I hedge, looking away from her all-too-knowing gaze. “I can’t let him down when he was forced to marry me or lose the campaign. He’s ahead, but how the public views this marriage is one thing that moves the polls.”
I think of how the numbers went through the roof after the Farris wheel incident despite Natalie coming in the next day with blogs claiming it was a publicity stunt. The local news interviewed the little girl’s family, who verified never knowing me before that day, and no, they weren’t part of any carnivals or circuses my parents used to work for.
“I’ve known Mathias since college, and he never struck me as the type of man who’d hold this against you or make you attended events when you didn’t feel a hundred percent.” Reaching out, she takes my hand and squeezes it.
I can’t do anything but nod, not having the heart to tell her that person is gone and the man in place is a mean motherfucker who couldn’t care less. The campaign and his ex’s hurt feelings are all he cares about.
I woke up in his arms, my head on his chest, and he seemed mad about it, though I started out the night on my side, having fallen asleep immediately after he took me that last time. When I lifted my head, it was to meet his silver gaze. Silently he rose from the bed. “I have a lot of things to see to for the Shelby estate. Be ready tonight at eight p.m.”
I sat where he on the bed me until he showered leaving without a word, knowing what I needed to do—protect myself.
My parents loved each other; even though my mom died when I was still too young to really remember, I know they did from the way my daddy spoke about her. In the face of both their families doubting their love, they had three daughters and fought to keep us all together.
“You don’t believe me.” Mimi says, “Just like you thought the family wouldn’t accept you when you first came here. We didn’t even know anything until Nebraska told us you were at university with him.” Her whole aura isI’m not mad, only disappointed.“I get it. We all do. You were a kid, and your daddy and mom were mistreated by some of this family. But Mathias is not them, and we ain’t the old folks. You have to decide to trust us. We are waiting. Trust me, it was a hard lesson to learn for me as well. I almost lost Santiago.”
With that, she rises from the table we are sitting at and starts fixing us some food. After a few moments of quiet, I confess, “He’s still mad at me.”
“It won’t last. If it does, you know what to do.” Mimi places a hot dish of homemade chicken potpie in front of me. “Nothing makes ’em get some sense like missing you.”
I smirk, shaking my head. “Last resort—let’s not forget what Angel did. Mathias is just as powerful, if not more so.”
“Yeah, but he cares for you just as deeply.”
I blink at her in shock.
“I’ve seen the way he looks at you, cuz.”
“Wow.”Mathias’s deep sensuous tone has me looking over my shoulder.
“I just passed Summer as I was coming in. She said, ‘Be prepared to be wowed.’” He takes in the high-neck webbed lace dress that is my first attempt at anything bodycon. I don’t often like my curves squeezed in. I don’t want to look like a stuffed little sausage. So I was quick to refuse Summer, but when I saw it was perfect, I tried it on.
“She’s a genius,” I say, looking back at my reflection.
