I smile and manage to follow them to the elevator. The ride to the penthouse floors is silent, all of us in our own heads. I can feel the hairs on my neck standing up, and an impending feeling of doom settles over me. I finally glance at Onyx, who hasn’t looked away from me since I arrived. His irises are completely blacked out. My brain screams danger, but my stomach swoops and my core tightens at the sight.
Spyder and Ocean get off on one floor and I barely catch the twinkle in Ocean’s eye when she waves goodbye with a knowing smirk. The doors close and the elevator ascends. I start counting down the seconds until we’re alone.
“Onyx—”
I’m cut off when he bends and throws me over his shoulder. “Are you serious?” I ask, but Onyx keeps walking through the penthouse foyer and down the hall that leads to our split spaces. He turns toward his room and my heart races.
“Onyx.”
He doesn’t acknowledge me, just walks into his room and locks the door behind us. I’m set on the floor and my legs wobble. His face is a mask of anger. “You ran to Aruba. You left the country and broke your contract.”
I jump slightly at his words. My cheeks heat and it takes everything in me not to bow my head. “I know.”
“You know? You fucking know and you did it anyway. Right now, you are in violation and could have to pay me 2.6 million dollars. Do you have that kind of money?” He seethes, and for the first time since Mia, Ocean and I made the rash decision to leave, I feel the consequences bearing down on me.
“Mia is my friend. She was hurting. Her heart was broken. We only wanted to give her some space before she has to deal with the fallout of what happened. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.” My voice shakes with every word.
“Your job is to dance. You are here for my part of the tour. With Narissa being let go, everyone is needed. I had to cover for you and hopefully Mia has something she can say to help smooth things over with the other crew members and dancers.”
“You let Narissa go?” My head pops up. My feet carry me over to him, closing the distance between us.
“The decision was made by the entire entertainment team.” He scoffs. I feel stupid thinking it had anything to do with what I said to him.
My brain spins for an idea, a way to make this better, fix what is already broken between us. “What can I do to help? Or to make it better. I’m sorry you had to cover for me, but I couldn’t leave them. I finally have people who really care about me. They’re my best friends.”
His eyes flash and deepen until they are the shiny, watery depths of a black ocean. And they are trailing over my body, creating patterns of heat wherever they touch. “Anything?”
“I'll dance for you. I’ll help with the stage decoration. Anything,” I promise.
His lips twist into a dark and sinister smile. Onyx moves back from me, the suit jacket he was wearing hits the floor and I watch, entranced and completely captivated, as his tattooed fingers start pulling at the buttons on his dress shirt. “I couldn’t find you. I broke about a dozen laws trying to locate you and make sure you were safe. You will never understand the amount of danger being with me could bring you, Jade. I used all my resources and it will cost me.” His shirt falls off and I’m greeted with the artwork I’ve only seen peeks of ever since he brought me with him. Music notes, guns, ballet shoes adorn his arm and twist up to his shoulders. My lips part and I feel breathless when I see the large stars, small stars, all of them different colors and shapes. I’d seen them on his neck and hairline but together with the rest of it, makes my knees weak. Me. Us. Our story is told on a canvas covering his skin.
“I don’t want you to dance for me. I want you to get on your knees and beg.” He sits on the edge of the bed and waits for me.
My throat bobs with emotion. My chest squeezes until I feel like I’ll choke on all the thoughts and feelings swirling around inside me. My core aches, while heat spreads through my belly. His body has changed since we were together in our teens. He was gorgeous then but this man now is devastating. I drop to my knees. His eyes stay focused on me with so much heat, anger, possession. I’m in a trance and under a spell that for once I don’t want to stop. So I crawl. On my hands and knees all the way toward where his legs are parted. From this position, I seem at a disadvantage; yet, I feel the most powerful. His pupils dilate and his chest is breathing deeply. His fingers flex over the blankets covering the mattress, but he doesn’t move. Just watches, waits.
I stop in front of him, my sides cradled between his open legs. My head tilts back farther to maintain eye contact. I drag my tongue over my bottom lip, fully aware that what happens next is going to change everything. I have to be strong enough to withstand the consequences of whatever is happening right now. “I’m sorry.”
Onyx’s eyes shutter, but he doesn’t look away. He leans forward and drags his fingers over the side of my face and down my neck before wrapping it around the back and into my hair. I exhale right as he fists the dark locks in his hand and pulls, so my neck arches in his grasp. Onyx lowers his mouth to my ear, inhaling deeply as he moves to my neck then up to my temple. His lips press a long, hard kiss there and I shiver from the contact. My legs clench together. His free hand drags over my collarbone, my breast and down my side before sliding to my stomach. I can feel his fingers hovering above the waistband of my shorts. A whimper escapes my lips and Onyx chuckles softly against my skin.
“Don’t worry, my little star. I’ll make the ache go away. I’ll fill you up so full, you’ll never think of leaving again. I’ll mark your body daily, so you remember that you’re mine, that you can’t run from me.” He shoves his hand into my shorts, his fingers finding my entrance soaked for him. His lips curl in satisfaction before his long fingers are plunging inside me.
“Shit.” My neck loosens and my head falls back, my body bending perfectly, thrusting toward Onyx. I want to feel him. I want him to surround me everywhere. He shoves another finger inside, spreading my pussy wider. I cry out and he finally dips down, cutting off the sound with a crash of his lips on mine.
His tongue slips in my mouth and tangles with mine. We’re all lips and teeth, straining to get as close to each other as possible. My hips grind on his hand. I still want more. My body feels heated. I want his naked skin on mine, between my legs and pushing every single bad memory away.
He moans against my mouth before suddenly pulling his mouth away. His fingers drop from inside me. The next thing I know, my back hits the mattress and Onyx is above me. “Take your clothes off,” he snaps and I fight the smile on my lips, while my hands scramble to pull my shirt off and roll the shorts down my hips.
Onyx’s hands work his belt and suit pants. Finally freeing his body of them, they slide to the floor and he steps out before moving over me again. I shove my body up the bed, wanting his full weight on top. His lips come back down on mind, softer this time, but still with the same urgency as before. His hands move roughly between us, and soon, I find my underwear shoved down my legs and tossed over his shoulder. I glide my fingers over his body, squeezing and shoving to keep him as close to me as we can get. I’m dripping and ready for him. I want Onyx more than my next breath and it's a terrifying realization.
“You feel so good, Little Star. Fuck. I missed this.” He groans, and another shot of desire shoots down my back. My nipples tighten painfully. Onyx drops his head to take one in his mouth, his teeth clamping down on the bud and rolling it, sucking so hard my back arches and a gasp leaves my mouth.
I can feel his cock cradled between my legs, the silky skin is burning against me, making the moisture build between my legs. “Onyx, please,” I beg again and rock my hips to his.
He growls and moves to the other nipple, giving it the same treatment and attention until I’m a puddle of desire. Onyx licks and nips his way over my chest and up my neck. I grab the sides of his head and pull his lips to mine, unable to take the way my body is shaking. “Please fuck me.”
Our eyes open at the same time. I want him to see my truth and how badly I want him. His eyes glitter like he’s won. Onyx locks his fingers with mine and stretches our arms above my head. My body pulls tight. His cock finds my entrance without any guidance, and with our hands and gazes locked, he shoves inside me.
Onyx stretches and fills me until I’m gasping beneath him, my body adjusting to fit around him. He shoves inside me over and over, each time a little harder and deeper. His hips slap against mine, echoing in the room. Heat crawls over my chest, up my neck and blooms in my cheeks. Still, I want more, need more of him. I bury one hand in the hair on the back of his head and the other grips his shoulder, my nails grazing the skin and leaving red marks in their wake.
