“Fuck, I love you on your knees,” he growls as he pulls himself to the front of my mouth. I open up wider, taking in a gulp of air, before he pushes back in. I close my eyes as he hits the back of my throat again. My body once again tries to fight it, but his hand holds my head steady.
I feel my eyes start to water and my cheeks start to burn as he pulls my head back by my hair. This time he doesn’t give me the chance to take a breath before he thrusts back into my mouth with just as much force as the last time. And something about his forcefulness makes me even wetter. The sounds he makes as he has his way with my mouth are intoxicating. I have always wanted to please this man, and judging by the sounds he is making, I am doing just that.
He slowly pulls away and his cock pops out of my mouth as he jerks my head back. I look up at him with my eyes half closed, breathing heavy.
He reaches down and yanks me up quickly to stand, and then pins my back against the wall. I shiver from the unexpected cold surface on my skin.
“That mouth of yours….” He runs his thumb over the bottom of my slick, parted lips as I continue to breathe heavily. “Is fucking amazing.” His gaze moves from my lips to meet my eyes. “I don’t know where I prefer my cock more. Your tight little pussy or your perfect mouth.”
I whimper as he inches his body closer to me. I want to beg him to give me what he knows I want, but I’m still trying to catch my breath.
He stares at me for a few seconds and it makes me nervous. Is this it? Is he going to break up with me over what I did this weekend? If the roles were reversed, I would be mad at him for skipping town without a word.
I start to speak but he pulls me away from the wall, brings me over in front of my new car, and spins me around. He bends me at the waist and pushes me face down onto the hood.
“Slade, we can’t do it here.”
His hands leave my back and I place my hands flat on my hood to push myself up but I don’t make it far. He grabs my arms and pulls them behind my back, causing me to fall against the metal. He holds my arms together and secures them to my back with one of his strong hands on my forearms.
“Slade,” I pant. “We can’t do it in here,” I repeat in case he didn’t hear me the first time.
He leans over, placing his weight on top of me. “We can do it wherever the fuck I want, baby.” I feel him run his palm between my thighs where it comes to rest on my sex. He hisses in a breath as he rubs a finger into my wet folds.
“And by judging how wet your pussy is, you don’t really seem to object.”
I don’t think I have ever been so turned on.
He glides a finger in slowly, working it in and out of me. After a few slow strokes, he pushes in a second finger. I push my hips back toward him.
I feel his hips pull from mine as he removes his fingers and I think he is going to get off of me, but instead, he slams his dick into me.
I scream.
He brings his other hand to help keep hold of my arms, pushing them further up my back, pinning my body in place. It’s painful, but in a good way. This is what I have been waiting for.
He pulls out of me and slams back into me. He pulls back and does it again. He picks up the pace and continues to push me harder than he ever has before. And he was right, the rougher he is, the wetter I get. All I can feel is him filling me, controlling me, dominating me; just how I like it.
It doesn’t take me long to come. I scream out his name as my body tightens around him. I feel him pulse inside of me as he finds his release.
He pulls out and releases my arms but I don’t move them. I can’t. I feel as if my body is glued to the hood and I can’t move a muscle.
I hear a rustle of clothing and then I feel something rub against my sex as he cleans me off. I continue to lie there, not moving. He helps me stand as I stumble on shaky legs.
He reaches down, places an arm under my legs, and lifts me up. I lay limp in his arms with my eyes closed as he carries me to the bedroom. I do notice that my skin is touching his bare chest; he must have used his shirt to clean me off.
He lays me down in bed and climbs in beside me.
I open my eyes and see his eyes roaming my face. I can’t seem to keep them open. I’m exhausted. These last few days have kicked my butt.
I feel the pads of his fingers lightly trail over my cheek. “The bruise is gone,” he remarks quietly.
“That’s because it was not as bad as you thought it was,” I whisper.
He is quiet for a few minutes before he speaks again. “Look at me.”
I open my heavy eyes to see his relaxed look has changed to one of concern. “Anyone touching you is bad.” He exhales a long breath as he relaxes his face. “I have never been so protective of someone before you and maybe sometimes I go overboard a little.” He chuckles. “But that’s nothing new to you. You know how I can get when it comes to you. I just think that you need to be more careful when it comes to who you are around. You need to be more alert and—”
“I know,” I interrupt him. “I know how crazy you can get.”
“Crazy?” he questions with a smile on his face.
“Yes, I just called you crazy. But you need to take it easy.”
“I just don’t understand why Tate had to call me. Why didn’t you want to tell me what had happened?”
“I was going to tell you.” He would have known something was wrong the minute he saw my face. “I was just in shock. When it happened, I didn’t even think before I reacted. But then I realized how terrified Tate looked and how confused I was over the attack. I was scared. I knew you were just going to make it worse.”
“How so?” he asks, sounding offended.
“By freaking out. By blaming me.” I look away from him.
“I didn’t blame you.” He pulls back and leans up on one arm.
“Yes you did and you just did it again. All the talk about whom I’m around, or to be more careful.”
He reaches up and runs a hand through my hair. “I just don’t know what I would do if someone hurt you. Actually, that’s a lie. I know exactly what I would do. Kill them.”
I let out a little laugh at how determined he sounds.
“I want you to quit your job.” I take in a deep breath, not wanting to have this conversation again. “But I won’t make you do that.”
“Thank you. I know it’s not important, but does it really matter that I’m just a waitress?”
“It has nothing to do with you just being a waitress.” He lies down and looks up as if he’s deep in thought. As the seconds tick by, I start to get nervous. I can tell something is going through his mind.
I place my hand on his chest, but it’s as if he doesn’t even feel it. His baby blue eyes are fixed on the ceiling.
“Slade?”
He doesn’t answer as he continues to lie there still as a statue.
“What are you thinking?”
He finally looks over to me with a worried expression on his face. “I don’t want to freak you out,” he says slowly.
Maybe I don’t want to know what he’s thinking. I speak before I can even stop myself. “Okay?”
He takes in a deep breath. “My job is not always the safest, Angel. When Tate called me and told me what had happened, my first thought was that you were too injured to call me yourself. Why would Tate be calling me if you were okay? Then I saw how shaken up you were once you arrived at the station.” He swallows nervously. “The next thing I thought was that someone was trying to hurt you to get to me.”
“What do you mean?” Does he think some girl is after him bad enough that they would hurt me to get me out of the picture?
“The break-in. The window being broke. Then someone attacking you,” he says clenching his jaw.
“You think they are all by the same person?” I still don’t think that the events are related.
He lies back on the pillow and runs his hands through his hair. “I don’t know. I fucking hate not knowing. Everyone knows how I feel abou
t you and that you live with me. Word travels fast in this town and I get paid to defend bad guys, to keep them out of jail.”
I bite my bottom lip to keep my mouth shut, hoping he will talk more about his job.
“I know when my client is indeed guilty, but I’m good enough to make them seem innocent.” He looks over at me and I see the true fear in his eyes as they search my face.
“So I was afraid that someone was trying to teach me a lesson, or send me a message, and I can’t allow that, Angel.” He sits back up on one elbow and places a hand on my cheek. “I don’t know what I would do if I lost you.” He leans in closer, placing his forehead on mine. He releases a long breath before he pulls back just enough for me to look into those beautiful blue eyes. “I don’t know how I would survive if I were to lose you.” He shakes his head.
“I’m not going anywhere, baby. I’m right here.” I give him a small smile although I am a tad freaked out now. But he can’t see that. He opened up to me and told me how he feels about the events that have been happening in our life. And now that I see them from his point of view, I can see the true terror behind them.
“And that’s how I want it to stay.” He leans over and kisses me.
“I love you, Slade,” I say as he pulls away.
“I love you too, Angel,” he states, lying down and pulling me to his side. I close my eyes and think of how quickly life can change. No one knows who is after us or why, and I need to always be on high alert.
He chuckles, getting my attention. “What’s so funny?”
“I was just thinking I’m going to have to buy us a bigger house.”
“Why’s that?” I ask, pulling away from him.
“Because you’re starting to collect cars like you do shoes.” I smile over at him.
He goes to speak but my phone rings. “Hello?”
“Hey, Samantha. I have a buyer for the house,” my realtor says happily.
“What? Did you even put it on the market yet?”
“What can I say? I’m good like that,” she laughs out. “They didn’t even try to chisel you down. They will pay asking price.”
“Okay. They can have it.” We say our goodbyes and I disconnect the call. “Someone just bought my father’s house.” I say somewhat confused. I figured it would take months.
“You put it up for sale?” he asks, as he raises an eyebrow.
“Yeah.” I forgot he doesn’t know what all I was doing while in Oklahoma. “That’s what I went to Tulsa for. I had to let go of what was left of my past.”
“And how does that make you feel?” Slade asks, running a hand down my arm.
I look over to him. “Relieved,” I answer with a small smile on my face.
*****
It’s been two weeks since someone attacked me outside of Larry’s.
I still constantly look over my shoulder wherever I go, but I haven’t had much time to think of how well things have been going. I have been too busy trying to plan a surprise birthday party for Slade. I never thought it would be so hard. He is always by my side. He even invites me to visit him at the firm while he’s working. I find myself filing papers or talking Rose’s ear off. Slade loves it, and keeps dropping hints about hiring me. I keep declining them with a smile. I will say that office sex is pretty awesome, though.
Slade had some work to do at the office this morning so Tate came over to visit. Our new bedroom furniture is finally being delivered today. They had some problems with the order, so it took longer than expected to get it all straightened out. Slade said he wanted Tate present while the delivery guys were at our house.
Once I had made us lunch and put the sheets on the new bed, Missy called me and said she needed a girls’ night tonight. I think she is having problems trying to get Tate as close as she wants him. I can understand that, so I called up the ladies.
“The girls and I are going out tonight,” I announce as Slade joins me in the shower. He just got home about twenty minutes ago and I have a feeling he is not going to want me to go out.
He rubs the back of his neck as he releases a long breath.
“What?” I ask walking over to him.
“I don’t know how I feel about you going out without me,” he replies honestly.
“Don’t trust me?” I arch an eyebrow.
He backs me up against the wall and I gasp as the cold tile touches my skin. “Honestly, it’s everyone else I don’t trust, those men watching you dance.” I bite my bottom lip to hide my smile. I’m not going to tell him that we are just going to the movies. I’ll let him sweat it for a while. “Men having their eyes on these.” He brings his hands up and grabs my breasts possessively. I arch my back. “Men watching you move your hips to the music.” His hands slide down my waist and to my hips. “Fuck,” he growls lowering his face close to mine. “I loved watching you dance that night I dragged you out of Larry’s.”
“What?” I question, somewhat breathless.
“You had caught me fair and square.” He chuckles. “I sat there and watched you dance.” He lifts one hand and runs it up the base of my neck. He grabs my hair and pulls my neck back. “I sat there just imagining how fucking amazing it would feel to have your hips moving like that while you rode my cock.”
I suck in a breath as my knees start to shake. His other hand leaves my hip and travels up to my cheek. He runs the pad of his thumb over my bottom lip. He removes his hand and leans down to kiss me. His tongue ravages my mouth and demands my attention. As he moves away, he grabs my arm and pulls me onto his lap as he sits down on the bench.
“Remind me, Angel,” he says panting. “Remind me what those hips feel like as that tight pussy—”
I cut him off, crashing my lips to his. I lift my hands up and grab a hold of his hair. His hand slips between our bodies and he opens me up before he slides himself into me. I don’t waste a second as I start moving my hips back and forth. He pulls his mouth away and I take in a big gulp of air. He reaches up and grabs my wrists. He pulls them away from his hair and pins them behind my back in one hand, causing me to push my chest forward.
“That’s what I want,” he says before he leans down and takes a nipple into his mouth. He lightly bites it and I lose the rhythm of my hips. I stop and throw my head back, letting out a cry.
“Don’t stop, baby.” He kisses his way from my breast to my neck. “I want you to fuck me.”
I lean up and start to move my hips again. He places a hand between us and circles my sweet spot as I ride him. We don’t stop again until we are both panting and the shower water has run cold.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
SLADE
I had just kissed Angel goodbye when I hear my phone ringing.
“Hello,” I say to Micah as I search for something to wear.
“Hey man, I’m calling to give you a heads up.”
“For what?”
“The guys and I are coming over. Oklahoma plays Alabama tonight. Josh wanted to go out and watch it, but I figured you would want to watch it at the house.”
I think about it. It has been a while since we were all together without the girls around. “Yeah, I’m in no mood to go out.” Especially since Angel won’t be going with me. “Okay, well come on over,” I say, pulling a t-shirt off its hanger. “I’m going to give Tate a shout.”
“No need. Josh already called him,” he informs me before we end the call.
Not fifteen minutes later my doorbell rings. I answer the door to Josh. “I forgot that Alabama plays tonight,” I admit, closing the door behind him. His favorite college team is Alabama.
“Oh, I didn’t. It’s all Courtney has talked about this week. How Oklahoma is going to kick their ass.” He waves a hand in the air as if dismissing that idea.
“I bet you twenty bucks Oklahoma wins,” I say with confidence. I’m not the biggest OU fan, but I know that Angel is.
He chuckles as he nods his head. “You’re on.”
Micah and Tate show up shortly after and we al
l go down to the basement. I turn on the TV, getting ready for the game to start as we team up, grabbing pool sticks. “How are things going with Courtney?” I lean up against the wall as I watch Josh rack the balls.
“Pretty good.” He looks up at me, and smiles. “She’s going to move in with me.”
“That’s great, Josh.” I’m glad that he has found someone that makes him happy.
“Yeah, all that begging paid off,” he jokes, making all of us laugh. Then he gets serious. “At first she had been kind of apprehensive to trust me but one night everything just came out, stuff about her past, regarding her dad. Then she told me she has wanted to find him for a long time. I told her I would help her out.” He shrugs. “She didn’t want to involve me, but I told her there was no way I was going to let her do it without my help.”
I remember her telling Angel the night after their fight that she had decided to locate him. “Yeah, Angel says she’s always had a problem with all the stuff her mother fills her head with about men,” I say, bouncing my left leg as I continue to lean up against the wall.
“Something wrong?” Tate asks, eyeing my bouncing leg.
I stop the movement. “I don’t like Angel being out without me,” I admit shamelessly.
He chuckles and Josh starts laughing at me as well.
“She has to have a life, Slade,” Micah says, positioning himself in front of the pool table.
“I know that,” I snap. “I just don’t like her going out drinking without me. What if something were to happen to her? There are still so many unanswered questions.” Ever since the break-in and her being attacked, I have not wanted to let her out of my sight.
Micah frowns. “Drinking? Since when did the movie theater start serving alcohol?”
I push off the wall and look at him with my head tilted. “What do you mean the movie theater?”
“They went to see that new chick flick,” Josh chimes in. “I offered to go, but she said it was a girls’ night only. I think Missy even went with them.”
