Maddox: Obsessed Alpha

by Steele, C. M.

  There’s more I want to say, but I’m not even sure I can voice it. As I take the steps with quick feet, I ache to turn back around and stay in bed with her all day, but I have a conference call with some parties looking for an investor.

  I enter my office and smell her scent with mine all over the room. I breathe it in like a sick twisted fuck. Taking the seat, I pull up to my desk and lean forward and smile to see her pussy juices dried up on the edge. Getting this meeting over fast is a must. I have to be inside Rory until neither of us has anything left. Her svelte body clinging to me as she rode my cock to completion is one fucking sexy sight.

  “This is Devlin. I’m ready. Is everyone on the call?”

  “Yes,” Brian Dempsey, my CFO, says. They read off a list of names, but my only concern is what they are hoping to get out of my money. The call goes on for almost an hour before I end it. Once everyone is off the call, I dial Brian’s cell and go over the meeting.

  “Mr. Devlin, I say we pass on this. The deal isn’t as smooth as I hoped, and the expected ROI is low, and the risk is high.”

  “Draft the denial letter, please. I’ll sign off on it Monday.”

  “I thought you’d be in today before the party?” he questions.

  “No, I’ve had something urgent come up. Besides, it’s the end of the year. Take it easy for a day.

  “What? Important? Anything I need to know about?”

  “No. I’ll be in on the sixth.” I end the call because I don’t give anyone an explanation for my actions, especially one of my employees. Brian and I have been friends for years, but he has a bad habit when it comes to cocaine. That son of a bitch will be here tonight. Damn, I’m going to have to keep tabs on my woman, or he’s going to try and steal her from me.

  Thinking about my woman, the one thing that’s nagging me is that she came here at all. There’s no way that she did this of her own volition. I slam my fist on the desk, anger seething through me. Nothing about her screams unscrupulous. In fact, she came off as scared but interested in me. So damn interested. She came multiple times in my arms, and the way she held onto me as we came down from the high hit me in the chest. The whole situation has fucked my head up.

  Rudy must be crazy if he thinks that his sister’s pussy gave him a pass. There’s no way in hell. If he put her up to this…I’ll bury him. Seeing him drive her here told me that my hunch is more than likely correct. She wouldn’t know where to find me even if she’d seen me on the fucking gossip sites. As much as I am happy she’s now in my life, he treated her like chattel. I need to get to the bottom of this.

  I call my head of security, Angus Ferguson, a big ass Scotsman who takes pride in doing his job well. “Angus, I need all you can dig up on Rudy Jones’ family members. Every detail. By tonight.”

  “Yes, sir.”

  I dash upstairs, taking the steps two at a time. My dick is so damn hard, making it painful to run, but I want to know the truth. I throw open the door and cause her to drop the towel, revealing her smooth, naked flesh to me. All thoughts of Rudy are gone. My sole purpose is to make sure she doesn’t leave.

  She reaches for it to cover up, but I shake my head. “No. Don’t cover up what’s mine. Do you hear me, Rory? That pussy, those perfect tits, and those luscious curves belong to me.”

  She stands there, nibbling on her bottom lip, staring at me with a pink flush on her face.

  “Lay on the bed, spread your silky legs open and wait for me. Now,” I demand when she hesitates. Slowly, I unbutton my dress shirt, watching the way she admires and focuses on each roll of my fingers over the buttons. Her tongue slips out past her plump, thoroughly kissed lips and her pupils dilate.

  “I have one question to ask you. I want it answered truthfully,” I state, stepping toward the bed and letting my shirt fall to the floor. Aurora nods, and I continue, “Did Rudy put you up to this?”

  “Put me up to what?”

  I growl as she slides her hands over her thighs. “Did Rudy tell you to come and seduce me in exchange for his debt cleared?”

  “He said you demanded the deal,” she says, tucking her chin into her chest.

  I jump on the bed, my hands and legs straddling her as I lean over and ask, “I sure as fuck didn’t demand shit. He told you that?”

  “Yes.”

  I shake my head, trying to gain some semblance of self-control. “Just so you know…the contract is null and void.” I lean in and kiss her cheek, and then her jaw.

  “What?”

  “You entered it under duress. Any lawyer will tell you that,” I say, continuing my kisses down her neck. Being this close to her is too damn tempting to resist.

  “I doubt a lawyer would be involved in this kind of transaction. Besides, it’s a little too late for the one part.” She rolls her hips up.

  “Well, that was a done deal the second I saw you on the camera—stepbrother or no stepbrother. The thing with your stepbrother is another. Why the fuck would you tolerate it?”

  “You don’t understand.” She turns her head away from me like that shit’s going to fly with me.

  I grip her face and stare into those suddenly tear-filled eyes, needing an explanation. “What the fuck is there to understand? Selling you to me to clear his debts, lying to you, trading your virginity for his own gain.”

  “No, he has my sister.”

  “Your sister? Oh, yeah…there’s two of you.” It slipped my mind, but it explains why she was willing to give me her pussy for her stepbrother. Just thinking about Aurora’s gift to me brings a smile to my face.

  She nudges my chest with her fists. “Don’t even start thinking about her. She’s too young.” Her eyes narrow with a hint of jealousy. I understand she’s full of distrust, but I’m not the one who created it.

  I grab her throat, holding her firmly enough to keep her focused on my face but not hurt her. Fuck, I don’t ever want to hurt her. “Don’t ever accuse me of thinking of another woman. That’s not going to happen, and you’re going to pay for that remark later, but right now, tell me what’s going on?”

  “He’s hiding her from me with Big John. He said if I got you to drop the debt that he’d keep her safe. If not…I’d have to sleep with Big John and then he’d traffic my sister.”

  I can’t contain how fucking angry and disgusted by the image of my woman in another man’s arms. “He’s a dead man, Aurora. I’m not letting you go, but I can’t let him get away with this.”

  “What about my sister?”

  “We’ll get her and bring her home. Okay? My sweet wife-to-be.”

  “Wife?”

  “Yes. What did you think I wanted after I came in your virgin pussy? I told you I wasn’t letting you go before I filled you up.” A change came over her face. It’s a sense of excitement and maybe a hint of trust.

  Her eyes soften, and she asks, “And you want to fill me up right now?”

  “Fuck yeah. I want to spend my seed deep inside your innocent little body and mark my scent all over you so that when we’re around everyone tonight, they’ll know you’re mine.”

  “Maddox, take me, please.”

  “First, I want your sweet taste on my tongue. Relax and let me make you scream.” And I do just that for the next hour.

  Chapter 6

  Maddox

  My sister Grace arrived an hour ago, and she’s been with Aurora the entire time. I’m pacing my office, waiting to see my woman again. Angus dropped off the file I asked for just before I came into my office, but I can’t even focus long enough to look at it.

  My hands are itching to feel my sweet Aurora again. My dick refuses to go down. Two orgasms at my age should be the max, but my cock doesn’t agree. I have a feeling only she can do that to me.

  A knock at the door stops my nervous anticipation. “Come in.”

  “Mr. Devlin. I wanted to let you know that I’m back. Is there anything you need from me?” Debra says with a smile on her face. Nothing out of the ordinary, except that I hear footsteps
behind her.

  “No, he doesn’t,” Aurora snarls. I rush to her side, dying to be alone with her in that perfectly tasteful, but still sexy as hell little black dress. I slide my hand around her waist.

  “Kitten, let me introduce you to the party planner. Aurora, this lady is my long-time party planner, Debra Armstrong. Debra, this is my fiancé, Aurora.”

  “Hello, Aurora.” She shakes her hand, and I don’t sense any issue. Thank fucking goodness for that. I’d hate to fire my best event planner because she gave my woman an attitude.

  “I just wanted you to know that all of my staff are ready for your guests. The food is coming out and the wine is flowing.”

  “Great. Thank you again. Now, if you’ll excuse us.”

  “Yes, Mr. Devlin.”

  As soon as she closes the door behind her, I lock it and pin Aurora’s back to the door. “Fuck, you look stunning.” I crush my lips to hers, stealing her breath away, dominating her mouth until we are interrupted by another damn knock. I growl, and she giggles.

  “Wow. That is sexy as hell. You’re going to make me kill the person behind the door.” My heart’s running a million miles an hour. I need her like my next breath.

  “Whatever! I heard that, asshole. Open the door,” my sister says. I chuckle because she’s the only one that can get away with talking to me like that.

  “Oh yeah. Grace has been waiting for us.” Aurora giggles, pressing her head to my chest in embarrassment.

  I rub my throbbing cock on her pussy. “I’ve been waiting impatiently for you for over an hour. She can wait another minute.” Aurora pouts and arches her perfectly-shaped eyebrow. “Fine,” I grumble, pulling her to my side and let my sister in. I hope for boys because I’m already getting outnumbered by these two.

  “About time.” My little sister walks in with a shit-eating grin, looking at Aurora’s messed up hair. “I’m guessing this works?”

  “It does and it doesn’t. I’m going to do my best to contain myself, but I might butcher someone tonight,” I say with gritted teeth. For the first time in my life, I’m possessive with a woman. Never have I ever wanted to keep a woman all to myself. Everything in me wants to lock up Aurora from all those perverted, rich bastards who will be eyeing her.

  “Don’t do that. And don’t ruin this piece. It’s a part of my new collection. It’s one of my favorites.”

  “I tried to tell you I don’t need anything fancy.”

  “Please. You need to wear the best. That’s why I asked my sister to bring it to you. Bill me for it, Grace.”

  “Will do, money bags. Now, I wanted to wish you a happy new year. I have to get home to the husband and my baby boy. I can’t wait for him to have some cousins to play with.”

  “I’m working on it.” I give Aurora a squeeze on her hip. “Have Angus walk you to your car.”

  “Um…he’s busy,” Grace says.

  “What do you mean?” She knows regardless of what’s going on, he’s not busy for me unless it’s an emergency. I hit up the surveillance cameras and can’t see him.

  “I think he’s finally claimed the event planner,” she adds.

  “Oh…that explains her need to leave earlier.” I knew he has been growly about her working for me. I’m starting to wonder if it’s just jealousy. Either way, as long as they do their jobs, I’m all good. “Hmmm…I’m happy for them.”

  “I’ll walk you out.” I turn back to Aurora and say, “I’ll be right back. Stay in here until I come to get you.” I lean in and steal a kiss and then lead my sister out of my office, locking the door behind me.

  Chapter 7

  Rory

  As soon as they leave me, I start wandering around the room. So much has changed in a matter of hours that I’m overcome with questions and fears. I know lust remains at the top of the reasons why he’s promising forever, but I can’t help hoping that one day we both fall in love with each other. I’d hate to be in a loveless marriage regardless of the man I’m married to.

  Sitting in his chair, I spot a file with my name on it. Since it has my name, I scour through the pages and it makes my stomach turn. It’s my entire life summed up in a dozen pages or less. He lied about the deal with my stepbrother. He was prepared for me. I feel like a fool for buying into his lies. Maybe I hoped to get away from Rudy so badly that I let myself believe Maddox was serious. Pissed and unable to sit still, I stand and pace around the room contemplating my next move and if I can get out of this.

  I freeze and focus on the wall of security cameras that are hidden behind a sliding paneled door. They are perfectly placed around the entire compound. The center camera is the largest, showing the vehicles arriving with guests.

  I nearly jump out of my skin when I see Big John exiting his chauffeured car. I stumble backward, landing on Maddox’s chair crookedly and falling onto the floor. Standing quickly, so I don’t miss anything, I focus my attention back on the cameras. That’s when I see something much worse—Maddox and Big John shaking hands with a smile on both faces. Oh, my God. It can’t be.

  He can’t be willing to do business with that unscrupulous bastard after what I told him. I dash from the seat and out of the office. I can’t just go outside, so I decide the best place is the party hall. Once he doesn’t see me, I can leave…shit. I can’t even do that. My sister’s life is at stake. What am I going to do? Maybe he can still bring my sister, and then I can run with her. I’ll do whatever I can to get away from these monsters.

  The main hall is crowded with lots of well-dressed people. I recognize the mayor and his wife, but they have a large group of people talking to them. “Miss, would you care for a glass?”

  “Yes, please.” I know I’m not old enough, but it’s okay in a private residence. Besides, I need all the liquid courage I can get. Taking it to my lips while trying not to breathe, I toss back the glass and hand it back to one of the waiters. Another server comes by a moment later, so I snag a second glass from her. I’m already spinning because I’ve never touched alcohol, or maybe it’s the realization that I’ve been played.

  “Hello. Wow.” Oh shit. I close my eyes, hoping that it’s not the person I think it is.

  “He’s dressed you very well.” I cringe and turn to see Big John. I’d recognize that bastard’s voice anywhere. He makes my skin crawl and bile rise up in my throat.

  I take a step toward a nearby cocktail table, but he follows. The place is too crowded for me to escape his reach. I look for an exit, but it’s all the way across the room. I’d managed to have gotten too far deep into the fray.

  “Well, soon, you’ll get to trade up for me. Your stepbrother owes me too, and I don’t think I can wait until your sister’s old enough when there’s something so sexy in my grasp. You, on the other hand, are so damn fuckable.” He reaches out to touch me and I flinch backward, but he’s relentless. His large meaty hand grabs my bicep and pulls me to him.

  “And you’re a dead man,” Maddox growls. John drops his hand on me, and Maddox pushes me behind him.

  Chapter 8

  Maddox

  Shaking McDowell’s hand had been the most disgusting thing I’ve probably ever done. Knowing what I know now, trying to play it cool was difficult. I wanted to bust his head open right there. Instead, I point to the entrance of my home, letting the fucker darken my door.

  There’s nothing I can do with so many witnesses on my own property, especially with him holding Aurora’s sister captive.

  As soon as McDowell’s inside, I send my men on their mission. Now to greet my woman and finish our interrupted moment. First, though, I have to wash my hands because I’m not touching Aurora with these filthy hands. I come out of the main hall’s bathroom and walk to my office.

  A sinking feeling hits me when I see the door ajar. I enter, and Aurora’s not in the room at all. Fucking hell. I see my chair overturned. At first, I think someone snatched her, but the file on the desk is open. I turn my head and realize that I left the camera case open. “Shit.” On t
he main screen is the spot where I was talking to McDowell. I doubt she’s been kidnapped. She must have seen me talking to John.

  “Fuck.” I scan the security and alert the front gates that Aurora doesn’t leave. I scan the cameras, searching for her. I need to find her. It takes everything in me not to storm through the house. I can’t make a scene, but at the same time, I’m worried about losing Aurora.

  It takes a few minutes for me to find her in the ballroom. She's taking a glass of wine from one of the male servers who doesn't fail to notice how sexy Aurora is. I snarl and rush out of my office, slamming the door shut and dashing into the room. It's so crowded that I want to demand everyone leave, but this isn't some small fucking gathering of nobodies. This is the town's most influential people on the last night of the year.

  My stride increases, but then someone stops me. It's a woman from the prosecutor's office. I don't know her name, but she's a vicious investigator. Her head points toward, McDowell, who is moving ever closer to Aurora. "Interesting guest list you have here Mr. Devlin."

  "Yes, well, I didn't pick the guest. My assistant and my CFO picked the guests."

  "Well, I wouldn't be too close to him. He's currently the target of an investigation."

  "Good, the bastard needs to be in prison. Excuse me, but I'm looking for my fiancé."

  I walk away from her and step behind Aurora and McDowell only to hear him utter the most disgusting thing to my beloved. The man has a death wish, and I'm going to grant it for him when the time is right.

  I reach them and growl, "And you’re a dead man." John drops his hand. I can see he's caused red marks on her soft skin. I tug her around the waist and pull her behind me.

  "Relax, Devlin. I thought she's fair game."

  "You thought wrong. Stay away from her." I turn my anger toward Aurora. "You weren't supposed to leave until I came to get you."

  She narrows her eyes at me, but then she thinks twice. "Yes, Mr. Devlin. Excuse me."
