“Really princess? Couldn't you wait one day? Miranda thought I was bad.” Val’s voice was like ice cooling my desire, sending me rolling off Thorn’s body, hiding behind him on the bed. I had been caught with my pants down; well zipper down, panties exposed kind of down. Only one man got to see my pink panties and play with me, and that man was not Val Knight.
“Have you ever heard of knocking V?” Thron growled.
Val winked, “Payback’s a bitch princess. And is that tent under the sheet all for me? Just cause I admitted I care about what happens to your dumbass doesn’t mean I think you’re pretty. Besides I’m taken.”
“Get the fuck out Val.”
“Or what? You plan to beat my ass one hand McGee? I think I can take you.”
Fuck this. I shot my head up from behind Thorn ready to kick some ass.
“He might not be able to take you but I can.”
Val laughed clearly thinking little old me was no threat.
I reached under the mattress and pulled out the gun I had stashed there when Thorn was asleep. I figured if Thorn tried pulling some stunt again I could just threaten him at gunpoint.
I took aim at Val. “See how I am the one holding a gun, care to play princess?”
Val’s mouth dropped open slightly.
“I thought we agreed to keep guns out of her reach.” Val raised his eyebrows in Thorn’s direction.
“Don’t blame me I’ve been out cold.” Thorn put his hands up in a mock gesture of surrender.
I glared at Thorn. “Don’t forget I saved your ass with this gun sweetheart. As for you Val, I ask that you kindly get the fuck out.”
“Sorry to interrupt your healing my friend. I’ll let you get back to the pressing matter of that tent pole you got in your pants princess. May I suggest locking the door after I leave?” Val flashed a smirk before heading out the door.
Springing to my feet, I crossed the distance to the door in record time twisting the lock into place.
“Do you want to put the gun away darling? It’s sexy as fuck, but I’m already as hard as a rock.”
“Seriously? Val barging in didn’t ruin the mood?” My eyes dropped down to Thorn’s cock. It twitched under my gaze. “Does that thing ever take a break?”
“Not when you are looking at it like that darling.” Thorn’s voice was low sending shivers racing down my spine.
Apparently, Val barging in hadn’t ruined my mood either. I didn’t know what it was about Thorn that turned me into a horny school girl, but the sound of his voice like that and the sight of his cock still hard for me made me even wetter.
My tongue darting out to lick my suddenly dry lips. My fingers tugged, pulling the sheet off and revealing the part of Thorn I had been longing to see. I opened my mouth wide, taking his entire cock inside, only stopping when it hit the back of my throat. My hands resting on his hips, keeping him from thrusting because I planned to do all the work myself. I started sucking, my cheeks denting around Thorn’s cock causing him to moan. I showed no mercy, lavishing attention and sucking until I felt Thorn beginning to try to dislodge my hold on his hips. I pulled my mouth off his cock and watched it bob in disappointment.
“Case…So close.Please.” The words came out broken, and I knew I had him tittering on edge.
“You want to come handsome? Then stop moving and let me finish sucking your cock. He’s had a rough few days.”
“I think I’m in love again. I know he is.” Thorn tossed his head back down on the pillow and blew out a breath.
I lowered my lips again loving hearing the tortured groan Thorn let out. It was music to my ears and my pussy. I owned him. There was no shame at the thought only pure satisfaction. No regrets. No doubts. His heart resting in mine. His soul breathing within mine. His cock was mine as my mouth took him over the edge, screaming my name as he came flooding me with his taste. I drank him in. His cock giving a final twitch within the confines of my mouth. Not being able to help myself I took one final long lick before releasing him.
I moved so I could hover over his body taking in the sight of his closed eyes and the fine sheen of sweat highlighting his features. His eyes finally opening, revealing the deep coffee shade I loved so much.
“Tell me you know. Tell me you understand that you are mine. My heart is in your hands, but I have yours Thorn. You gave it to me without thought. You handed it over not knowing if I would break it or save it. A foolish thing to do but that simple act showed me just what kind of man you are. You are mine. Every inch. Every piece. Your life doesn’t belong to the things that chase you. I out ran them. I out gunned them. The rest of your days belong to me.”
Taking his face in my hands as I kissed him like the end of the world was upon us. Maybe it was. The end of the world we had known. The new girl in my soul had set me on fire like a wildfire, reckless and fierce as it took me over. No longer the same girl I had been the day Thorn had lifted me from the dirty floor like I wasn’t some broken thing that needed to be discarded. The loss of my life was nothing in my mind. No one would care. Then he came. This fire in my soul would burn so hot so that every time I touched Thorn would know his life mattered as much as my own. Equals. Partners. Lovers. Flawed stars no longer burning out but flaring back to life, scarred and brilliant in the dark.
Thorn’s cheeks heating within my hold, warming me further.
“I will never belong to anyone but you. You get every piece for as long as you want me.” Thorn declared.
“Good thing I want you forever.” I kissed him, the smile on my lips meeting his.
Chapter Forty
Our happy moment was interrupted angry voices outside our door. I broke the kiss, cursing the crazy people I called family. One day. I couldn’t have one day with Case that didn’t involve insanity.
“Where is she?” Val’s voice shouted through the oak.
“How the fuck would I know? You are the one has her. Tell me where she is Val or I will bring hell down on you and fucking little club.” Law’s voice countered back, violence darkening every note so strong it slipped right under the door and brought it right to where we lay.
“Should we place bets on who will win?”
“I know where she is.” Case whispered softly, “Selena’s gone, Thorn.”
“Fuck. They aren’t going to take her leaving well but if we don’t tell them they are going to kill each other.”
“I’ll do it. I’ll tell them.” Case rose from the bed, her hands doing up the button on her jeans the sight of her pale pink panties disappearing behind the denim.
My gaze stared at Case’s now buttoned up jeans as I let out a curse. “Now I want to kill them,” I growled.
“Down boy. I won’t be gone long. I plan to tell them and then dive under the covers with you to hide.” Case blew out a breath sending a blonde curl flying. Her eyes closing before taking another deep breath.
“I’ll go with you.” My legs hit the floor as I tried pushing myself to my feet. White hot pain rolling through my body but I did my best to ignore it. My fists tightening by my sides before taking a step towards the door. I swayed, dizziness striking hard. I reached out grabbing the bed trying to steady myself.
“You pass out on this floor Thorn Emery I swear the next time you wake up I won’t be so willing to suck your cock.”
“Why would say something so evil to the man you love?” I gave a mock gasp clutching my chest. Pushing myself from the bed, I took another step. This time the pain was a scream instead of a roar, and I managed to make to where Case was standing. The door was only a few more steps ahead of us, and I took one step before my knees gave out. The floor rising to meet me my only thought was my poor dick. He was the one that was going to suffer for my stupidity. An arm caught me before I hit the ground.
“You’re fucking heavy you know that.” Case grunted using every bit of strength to keep me upright. I locked knees, wrapping an arm around her waist holding on tight adding what was left of my strength to take some of my weigh
t.
“Since you caught me does that meant you won’t deny me that sweet mouth of yours?” I smiled sweetly at Case. This was a serious question. My dick needing to know the answer.
Case’s eyes narrowed as she huffed out a breath refusing to my question as she walked me back to the bed. She gave a gentle push, and my ass ended up right back where I had started.
“You want to help? Keep that fine ass of yours on this bed and don’t move, got it? I am a big girl. I got this.” Case marched back to the door, flinging it wide open startling Val and Law into silence.
“I’m sorry Case. Val and I were just having a small disagreement.” Law moved closer to Case his face lighting up with a smile. Old school charm bleeding from every inch of him morphing from predator to gentleman in a blink of an eye. My hatred for him had lessened and a small part of me felt warm and fuzzy about the asshole. Fuck me.
Case glared at the two men in the hallway. Her hands on her hips as she mumbled something about how we were all insane
“I wouldn’t call all the noise you two were making a small disagreement. You two sounded like you were ready to kill each other. I’m pretty sure Selena wouldn’t want you to murder each other, but since she’s gone, I’m going to have to be the voice of reason.”
“Way to sneak that in there baby,” I shouted from the bed.
Case’s head whipped her bright blue eyes blazing, growling she said, “I told you to shut up and sit there.”
Nice going asshole my dick whispered.
Note to self-don't ever piss off my badass girlfriend. Shit, where did she put the gun?
“Where is she?” Law’s voice was dangerously low as he stepped into the room towering over Case mere inches away from her. Case refused to back down taking a step closer, crossing her arms over her chest and peering up at Law her eyes glinting.
Law’s proximity to my girlfriend set off warning bells. I wouldn’t sit here and let him rough up my girl not even if it was only just intimidation. Law went right back on my hate list. Anything warm and fuzzy for the man vanishing in an instant.
“What did I say sexy? Sit there and don’t move. I got this.” Case smiled in my direction clearly not flustered by Law in the slightest.
“I don’t know where she went. All I know is she’s gone. I watched her leave.”
Val choose that time to join the party entering the room and standing next to Law.
“You didn’t try to stop her?” Val’s voice sharp and clipped. It was ton he always took when he was trying to stay in control. This situation was going to shit fast, and my body wasn’t well enough to take on a fight. That didn’t mean I wouldn’t try.
*
Thorn was still sitting, but I knew he wouldn’t be for much longer. The love of my life a hand grenade with the pin pulled, and all he needed was a reason to let go of the trigger. Thorn, Val, and Law could devolve into a hot mess at any moment.
Crossing my arms over my chest wishing time would speed up. My head starting to pound nearing my limit for insanity. Time to get to the point.
“You think I didn’t try to get her to stay Val? What was I supposed to do, tackle her the ground and hold her down until she changed her mind? She would have kicked my ass, and I wasn’t ready for to go another round. Selena’s some pet you can keep against her will until she does what you want her to do. Tell me, did Selena ever demand that you change? Or did she love you both the way you are?”
Val and Law’s snapped shut, their mouths drawing tight as tension vibrated through them. A thousand possibilities raced through my mind they would either hear me out or start a rampage. I was hoping for the latter.
“Fine, you don’t want to answer, so I will. Selena loved every fucked-up thing about you. She never asked either of you for your secrets or demanded you change. Val, she challenged you, fought for you and gave you space when you couldn’t stand to be alone with yourself let alone anyone else and Law she doesn’t belong in a cage yours or anyone else’s. It’s her life and Selena gets to decide what to do with it and who she wants in it. All you need to do is love her and be waiting when she comes home. And she will come home. We are her family. She chose us, took care of us and loved us. All of those things will lead her back home where she belongs.” Pulling back slightly I gave them a minute to let my words sink in.
“Case is right Val. We have been fools. No one can stop Selena, and if we truly love her, we shouldn’t try to.” Law gave a heavy sigh, as he scrubbed a hand over his face. Law looked tired, and I couldn’t blame him. Selena had left for the third time, but still, I doubted her would give her up. He didn’t know how.
“She’s been my best friend. The person who kicked my ass when I needed it and who refused to give up on me even after I had given up on myself. I wouldn’t have Miranda if not for Selena. I don’t know what to do without her.” Val’s voice cracked the sound rebreaking the piece of my heart that had shattered when I watched Selena walk away. If Bound and Bared had a heart, it was Selena.
I reached out capturing Val’s hand before squeezing it slightly. For a second he didn’t react before he squeezed it back and then let it go. The gesture reminding me the king of Bound and Bared was simply human like the rest of us.
“I didn’t know her like you did. I haven’t had the time you both have shared with her, but I feel the same way. I don’t know what to do without her either.” I reached out and captured Val’s hand squeezing it slightly. For a second he didn’t react, and then he squeezed it back before letting my hand go. The gesture reminding me the king of Bound and Bared was simply human like the rest of us.
“She will come home, Val,” I assured.
Val nodded before stepping back next to Law.
“I need a drink care to join me?” Val sighed looking at Law.
Law shrugged. “It depends. Tell me you have more choices than the cheap liquor I saw behind that bar of yours.”
Val offered a half smile. “Has anyone ever told you that you are rather high maintenance?”
“I prefer the best. There’s nothing wrong with that Mr. Knight.” Law declared.
“Knock off the Mr. Knight shit and call me Val. Do that, and I’ll show you what I keep in my office.”
“Well, Val lead the way.” Law extending his hand before following Val out the door.
My head bowed as I let out a breath. Flopping down in the chair by the bed I dropped my hand into Thorns.
“Way to go champ. I don’t think Selena could have done any better.”
“Go, team,” I said releasing a shaky laugh. All humor fleeing struck by the thought I could be wrong. What if Selena didn’t return? What if she had left us all behind and never looked back?
“Thorn what if she doesn’t come back?” My voice rose, panic slipping past my lips as my heart stuttered inside my chest and my eyes flooded with tears.
*
Staring at Case’s face, I wished I had something more to offer her than words. I wouldn’t lie. Selena might never come home. Whatever her demons were they had finally chased her away from the people that loved her. If anyone could defeat the dark, it was Selena. The question became did she even want to?
“We will be okay sweetness. We will wait. We will miss Selena but we will survive. It’s what we do. Come here.” The words came were ragged. I hated seeing her pain. Case’s body fell next to mine, her head landing on my shoulder.
“Do you ever get tired of just surviving?” Case’s voice was soft and tired.
“All the time sweetness. All the time.” The sound of my voice matching hers.
Chapter Forty-One
“It’s been two weeks,” I growled. Case stood just out of my reach, refusing me with a smile on her face. My patience had ended. If I didn’t get inside her soon, I would go insane. My body had completely healed except for my wrist. The cast sucked, the thing itched like a son of a bitch, and I still had four more weeks to go. Being back at the cabin helped. There was no one to interrupt us, not like it mattered since
Case wouldn’t let me have her anyway. Oh, she would wrap that delicious mouth around my cock every chance she got sucking me dry and let me lick and finger her until she came screaming my name, but I never believed my dick could be jealous of my fingers and mouth until now. He wanted in-between Case’s thighs in the worst way, not willing to let them have all the fun without him anymore.
Case darted past me, but I was faster my good hand catching her around the waist bringing her down on top of my lap. Thrusting my hips upward, the hard length of my cock pressed against her thighs begging for entrance.
“He’s going to get what he wants Case. I don’t think I can stop him.” I thrust again causing a small moan to slip from her lips.
“I don’t think you want to stop him. You two are in cahoots together. I am only refusing because I don’t want to hurt you.”
Grabbing her hand, I placed it on my cock, her fingers wasting no time wrapping around it through the denim jeans I wore.
“This is what hurts, and he’s no longer satisfied with just your hands and mouth. He loves them don’t get me wrong he just wants your pussy instead.”
“Well, when you say sweet things like that how can I refuse?” Case whispered in my ear before placing a kiss against my neck. “Can I ride you?” Her breath fanning my neck as her words sent, even more, blood racing to my dick.
Thrusting my hips, I rubbed my cock against her thighs once more. “He’d thought you’d never ask.”
“Lie back baby and enjoy this. Both of you.”
I scrambled to the center of the bed. My free hand is trying to get my zipper down as fast as possible but it was nearly impossible with only one hand.
“Fuck you zipper stop being a cock block.” I hissed in frustration as kept trying determined to succeed.
“Let me help.” Case climbed on the bed to hover over me as my brain took a minute to process she was naked. When had that happened?
Staring at her bare body my lips parted and my breath quickened. My cock twitching against my stomach as my mouth watered. “How did you get naked without me noticing?”
