  “I didn’t tell her anything except you’re just having a problem.” Danny’s voice brooked no argument. “You’re staying with me until Jake catches whoever is doing this to you.”

  “But I can’t stay with you!”

  Danny arched an eyebrow.

  “Why not?”

  Amanda floundered. She knew exactly why she couldn’t stay with Danny. Because if she was given half a chance she would be jumping him and tearing his clothes off. Even now her hands were burning to touch him and pull his shirt off. The knowledge that Abi was still in the condo and that she had promised herself not to do anything more with Danny Chao stopped her from doing so.

  But she couldn’t tell him the truth. He looked like he would happily welcome it and encourage her. Amanda shook her head.

  “It’s not proper.” She said weakly.

  Danny burst out laughing.

  “You’re talking about proprieties now?” He stepped up to her and cupped the side of her neck, his thumb against her jaw. His laughter died away. “Amanda, I’m worried for your safety. Call me caveman if you wish but I want to make sure you’re okay. I want to know that you’re safe and the best way to do it is in my home.”

  Amanda knew he was being protective and she liked it, if she admitted it to herself. But it still didn’t make her feel any better.

  “You can walk out anytime you want.” Danny added gently. “I just want to know you’re okay.”

  Amanda knew she was going to lose the argument. And Danny was making sense. She huffed a sigh and stepped back.

  “Fine. Tonight. For now. But if you insist then I will get my stuff and not my mom.”

  Danny grinned. He looked like he had won.

  “Understood.”

  *****

  Amanda managed to get over to her house before her mother did. She was intending to stay in her house and not come out. Danny couldn’t tell her what to do and it was safer for her sanity to stay in her own place. She couldn’t be tempted by Danny Chao.

  There was no temptation there.

  But Helen turned up moments later and she urged Amanda to pack and go back to Danny’s. Amanda tried to argue but Helen was just as adamant as Danny about her safety. She kept talking about how nice Danny sounded and hinting that he had a thing for Amanda. Amanda wanted to believe that but, at the same time, she didn’t want to explore it. Not when Danny wouldn’t be here for much longer and their relationship would be new and up in the air. Chances were he wouldn’t want to take her with him and Abi, now she thought more about it, didn’t really want to leave.

  Eventually, Helen managed to get Amanda’s bag packed and on her way. Amanda was tempted to go around the block and go back home but she wouldn’t put it past Helen to stay for a while to make sure she actually went.

  There was no choice for her. She was going back to Danny’s condo.

  Abi had already gone by the time Amanda pulled into the carport. Danny took her bags and put them in the guest bedroom, which was opposite his. Amanda couldn’t help but notice that. Was it deliberate? She didn’t know.

  There was an en-suite bathroom connected to her bedroom and Amanda decided to have a shower and attempt to relax. That was going to be easier said than done when the object of her desires was only a few feet away but Amanda was determined to try.

  She couldn’t find any towels in the bathroom. Danny apologized and said he would get some more. Amanda went into the bathroom and switched the shower on. There was a bathrobe on the back of the door; she could shower and use that until the towels arrived. No big deal.

  Stripping down, Amanda stepped under the spray and lifted her face to the water. It was warm and inviting. Something Amanda needed right now. She washed her hair and scrubbed her body, aware that her breasts felt very heavy and her nipples were sensitive. She whimpered as she passed the sponge across her nipple. It zinged through her body and went between her legs. Her clit seemed to be throbbing.

  She shouldn’t. Not in someone else’s house. But Amanda couldn’t help herself. Maybe if she could take the edge off, it would feel a lot more comfortable when she next saw Danny.

  Leaning against the wall, the water spraying down her body, Amanda dropped the sponge and trailed her hands down her belly. She reached her mound and spread her legs, her fingers of one hand finding her clit and the fingers of the other going to her slit. The ministrations to her already aroused body made her shiver but it wouldn’t be enough to take the edge off. Masturbation never got her off.

  But she wasn’t going to stop. Right now it felt too good.

  Moving her hand from her pussy, Amanda closed her eyes and conjured up Danny’s face in her mind. She imagined him right there with her, naked and pressed up against her in the cubicle. She pinched her nipple, rolling it between her fingers, pretending it was Danny who was doing it. She felt his kisses against her throat, his cock hard against her belly. His other hand palmed her backside, running his palm over her skin.

  Amanda moaned and rubbed her clit faster. This was one fantasy that was making her lose her breath. She could almost feel Danny actually touching her.

  Danny lifted his head and gave her a heated look that made Amanda rub her fingers faster over her clit. Then he lowered himself to his knees, pushing her legs further apart until they were up against the opposite walls.

  That Amanda felt. This wasn’t the feeling of a fantasy. The feel of someone’s hands on her thighs was real. Her eyes snapped open and she saw Danny kneeling at her feet. The spray from the showerhead cascaded down his bare back and he stared up at her with blatant hunger as his hands darted over her thighs. His fingers brushed against her pussy, which tightened.

  He was actually here? How had she not heard him come in?

  “Danny?”

  Danny grinned and leaned forward. Amanda’s protest broke off in a moan as his tongue licked at her pussy before worrying her clit. Two of his fingers pushed into her pussy and curled inside her, rubbing against her G-spot. Amanda gasped and thrust her pelvis at his face. Danny held her firmly in place and worried her clit with his tongue and teeth while his fingers pumped deep into her pussy.

  Chapter 9

  Amanda felt her arousal go right up to ten before she realized what was happening. Her orgasm hit her hard and she found herself screaming and writhing against his face. Danny drew it out, not allowing her any reprieve. Amanda shuddered and felt her legs going. She slipped down the wall but Danny was up and catching her into his arms before she could sit on the floor.

  Then he was kissing her. It was passionate and it was heated. Very heated. Amanda gave up thinking this was a bad idea and kissed him back hard, nipping at his lip and scratching her nails across his back. She was hungry to have him. Very hungry.

  Danny growled and hoisted her up, pressing her back against the cold tiles. Then he pulled back, panting heavily.

  “We need protection. I don’t want to get you pregnant this early.”

  This early? Amanda didn’t want to decipher what that meant. She shook her head.

  “No need. I’ve got the coil in and I’m healthy.” She rubbed her pussy against his cock, which was thick and very hard against her. “Just fuck me now.”

  “With pleasure.”

  Danny shifted his hips and then thrust. Amanda gasped as she felt his cock’s hard length push inside her. It felt like she was being split in two. Momentarily pain gave way to pleasure that had her shuddering in his arms. Already another orgasm was building.

  She had barely managed to climax again after one time and already she was about to come again.

  Danny didn’t give her a reprieve. Grasping her backside in his hands, he withdrew and thrust against. He was relentless, not slowing his rhythm or changing it. Amanda clutched on to him and held on for dear life. It felt incredible and her pussy was hungrily clamping on to his cock, making Danny groan and grip tighter on to her. His mouth dipped to her breasts and he suckled on her nipples, nipping with his teeth. Amanda cried out and he
ld on tighter, biting hard on his shoulder.

  Her climax hit her harder than the one before, setting off fireworks behind her eyes. Amanda’s voice was too ragged to scream and she panted as the orgasm wrapped her body up and spun it around, making her head spin. Danny pistoned into her hard and fast and then, with a growl that made Amanda’s body shiver, he thrust himself deep into her one last time. Amanda could feel him filling her, his cock twitching inside her.

  The world felt like it was turning. Amanda felt like putty in Danny’s arms. She managed a smile against his shoulder as he held her in trembling arms.

  If she had known this was what sex would be like with him, she wouldn’t have waited.

  *****

  Amanda didn’t know what woke her at first. It took a moment for her to figure out where she was. She was in a bed that wasn’t hers and she could hear gentle snoring behind her.

  Amanda rolled onto her back and fumbled in the dark, her hand hitting a hard chest.

  “What’s that?” She mumbled.

  Danny grunted and he sat up and leaned over the side of the bed. The duvet fell away and Amanda licked her lips as she watched the muscles in his back flex. That body was gorgeous and she was itching to get a hold of it again.

  Danny sat up, scowling at his cell phone.

  “It’s just my phone.” He rubbed at his eyes as he tossed it onto the bedside table. “I can’t read the number right now.”

  “Why don’t you answer it?”

  Danny grinned at her.

  “Because I’ve got something more interesting to focus on.”

  He pounced. Amanda squealed as he landed on top of her and swept her up into a kiss that took her breath away. He tasted delicious and Amanda wanted to keep drinking him in. Then the phone went off again.

  Amanda managed to force herself to push him away.

  “Be serious.” She pushed at his shoulders. “It could be important.”

  “It can’t be as important as this.” Danny rolled onto his back, taking her with him as he kissed her. He growled and nibbled at her jaw. “God, you’re incredible, Amanda.”

  “I bet you say that to all the girls.”

  “Would you not talk about other girls right now?”

  “Sorry.”

  Danny cupped her cheek in his hand. His eyes were burning amber flames.

  “I don’t want to hear about the other girls.” He said softly. His thumb brushed over her mouth. “The only girl I want to focus on is you.”

  That warmed Amanda from the inside. That declaration was something she hadn’t heard from a man in a long time.

  Then her brain started whirring again. What was this meaning? Was this a one-off thing? Or was Danny wanting more. She swallowed.

  “Are you trying to suggest something to me, Danny?”

  Danny smiled. He shifted her body so her legs were draped on either side of him. His cock, now hard again, rubbed against her pussy but didn’t go in. He flexed his fingers on her hips.

  “Is it a conflict of interest if I start a relationship with my sister’s tutor? Theoretically speaking?”

  He did want a relationship. Amanda felt momentary panic. That had been something she wanted to avoid. But then the rational part of him kicked in and she realized she was being irrational. She had feelings for Danny Chao and he clearly reciprocated them. He wanted something more and Amanda, if she was honest, would happily accept it.

  The knowledge that things outside of the relationship would get mixed in and cause problems. But now Amanda didn’t care. She would happily give up whatever she had to stay with Danny. She grinned and leaned over him.

  “Well, you are paying me.” She whispered. Then she reached back and grasped his cock, repositioning it against her. “But you’re not my pupil. So I wouldn’t say no.”

  Then she sat back, his cock sliding in easily. Danny groaned and bucked, his cock sliding in to the hilt. Amanda gasped and clamped her legs against his hips. She rolled her hips and began to ride him, Danny guiding her until she was fucking him. He took her nipples in his hands and tweaked them before putting his mouth on them.

  Amanda could feel her climax building. It wouldn’t take much to set her off. But the sound of Danny’s cell phone going off was intruding on them. And the orgasm shrank back, leaving Amanda empty. She huffed and stopped, lifting herself off Danny and rolling onto the bed.

  “Please, just get the damn thing.” She grumbled. “It’s putting me off.”

  “Fine.” Danny growled. He kissed her cheek and slapped her behind. “But I want more of that once I’m done.”

  He sat up and picked up his phone. Amanda watched as his face darkened. Something had happened. She sat up.

  “What’s happened?”

  “It’s Abi. She’s called me four times and now she’s sent me a text.”

  “Abi? Is she okay?”

  “Mom’s at Natalie’s house trying to make Abi leave with her.” Danny threw the duvet back and jumped out of bed. “Natalie’s parents have called the cops.”

  “Georgina’s there?” Amanda was already moving, running over to where her clothes were folded on a nearby chair. “How did she know where Abi was?”

  “I have no idea.” Danny did up his jeans and reached for his sneakers. “She was probably using her Ouija board again.” He gave Amanda an embarrassed look. “I’m sorry but I need to get over there.”

  “Of course.” Amanda clipped on her bra and grabbed for her panties. “And I’m going with you. No arguments.”

  “I’m not going to argue.” Danny looked relieved. “I was actually going to ask you to come. Abi’s going to need you.” He paused. “I need you.”

  Amanda’s heart squeezed. He had no idea how much she had wanted to hear that.

  *****

  Danny was angry. He had finally got Amanda into bed and his intention had been to keep her there the whole night. She was a keeper and he wanted to make sure she knew that. She was even softening up to the idea of a relationship between them.

  And then his mother had to jump right in and ruin that for him.

  Danny was panicking for Abi. She was more confident and a lot stronger since Amanda had come into their lives and Abi was out from under her mother but Georgina knew her daughter’s weakness. She would play on them like a violinist.

  Abi would also be sensitive about her friends. She wouldn’t subject them to that but Danny wasn’t about to let his sister sacrifice herself for her friends.

  Amanda was silent on the drive over. She seemed to know that there was nothing she could say to make it better. But she gave her support by taking his hand as he drove. Danny gripped on to it, barely letting go to change gears.

  They arrived at Abi’s friend’s house to find chaos. There were two police cars outside the house as well as a car Danny recognized as Jacob’s. Georgina was standing on the lawn arguing with his friend, who looked like he was reaching the end of his patience with her.

  Danny got out and helped Amanda out. He saw Natalie’s father standing in the doorway to his house, arms folded across his chest as he glared at Georgina. He looked ready to pounce himself. Then he saw Abi and Natalie at an upstairs window looking through the curtains. When Abi saw him she waved, which Danny returned.

  “We’ll go around behind them.” He murmured. “I don’t want to deal with Mom right now.”

  Amanda nodded. Gripping on to her hand, Danny led her behind the police cars, using them as a shield as Georgina threw her arms about.

  “I don’t see why I have to leave!” She shrieked. “That is my daughter in there and I have a right to talk to her if I want to!”

  “Mrs Chao, Abi is eighteen.” Jacob’s voice sounded strained. “She’s not required to talk to you if she doesn’t want to. Just go home now.”

  “No! I want to talk to my daughter.”

  Danny knew Jacob had seen him but didn’t make any indication. Using that distraction, he and Amanda got onto the porch. Danny nodded at Natalie’s fathe
r.

  “Hey, Jamie.”

  “Danny.” Jamie Prescott shook his head, his face saying he was going to blow any moment. “Amanda.”

  “Hey.” Amanda hugged him and stepped back to Danny’s side. “What happened, Jamie?”

  “Abi and Natalie were in the den watching movies when Georgina came charging up. She tried to barge in to talk to Abi but Abi said she wasn’t talking to her and I wouldn’t let her in. That was when Georgina started threatening us.” Jamie bared his teeth, his hands clenching into fists at his sides. “I have a pregnant wife and she’s high-risk. I can’t be having that.”

  Danny felt the guilt hit him across the face. He had allowed Abi to go to a friend’s house, thinking they would be able to live like normal teenagers. Instead he had allowed their mother the ability to get to his sister so she could start terrorizing her again.

  He would address how she found out where Abi was later. Right now they needed to get rid of her.

  “You!”

  Danny looked up. Georgina had seen them. And she was glaring at Amanda. Danny quickly pushed Amanda behind him and faced his mother as she plowed across the lawn towards them.

  “You little bitch!” Georgina lunged at Amanda before two uniformed officers caught hold of her. She struggled but they held tight. “This is all your fault!”

  “How the hell is this my fault?” Amanda demanded.

  “You ruined my family! Abi would never have disrespected me if you hadn’t put poison in her ear.”

  Danny was trying to figure out the logic there. Even Jamie looked confused. Amanda, however, just laughed.

  “You are a crazy woman. You just don’t like the fact Abi is standing up for herself now.”

  Danny wanted to tell Amanda to not antagonize his mother but he realized that would have been seen as him being on her side. He had told Georgina multiple times if she didn’t like what she was hearing she shouldn’t have put herself in a position where it would be said. But Georgina would never listen to him, even though she expected him to listen to her no matter what she was saying.

  “That’s enough, you two.” Jacob approached them as Georgina’s arms were wrestled behind her back and Danny heard the snap of handcuffs. “You’re already under arrest for trespassing and breach of the peace, Mrs Chao. Don’t make it worse for yourself.”
