“Princess, I’m gonna have to tie you up if you can’t lie still.”
I glower at him, but it lacks any punch. “Go ahead and try.”
He chuckles, a husky sound that hits me right between my thighs and his green eyes darken as he prowls back up my body and hovers over my lips.
“Now, why would you go and say that when you know I will? Maybe you want me to tie you down.”
I shake my head. “I just want you.”
He steals a kiss before pulling away and sliding back down my body. When he gets to the waistband of my skirt, he moves to the side and slowly slides the zipper down before yanking it off and tossing it to the floor. His hands push my shirt up and he flashes me a look that makes it clear he wants it off. Now. I sit up and pull it over my head, letting it join my skirt on the floor as I lean back on my elbows and he crawls up to me again.
“Please, Chance,” I whisper.
He smiles and reaches behind my back to unhook my bra, sliding it down my arms. When he stands to strip his jeans off, I lift my hips off the bed and shimmy out of my panties, tossing them at him. A wolfish grin lights up his face as he catches them before tossing them to the floor and shoving his jeans and boxer briefs down. As he stalks back toward the bed, he wraps his hand around his cock and strokes it slowly, his gaze locked on mine the entire time. My breath punches out of my body and I couldn’t look away even if I wanted to which I definitely don’t.
“Spread your legs, Darlin’,” he rasps and I release a breathy moan as my head falls back and my knees part. His answering groan feels almost as good as his touch… almost. Kneeling on the bed, his hands slide up my thighs and he pushes them further apart as he lowers his face to my pussy. My chest rises and falls rapidly as I wait for him to touch me where I need him and he doesn’t disappoint, trailing his finger down my slit.
“Oh, God,” I whisper, lifting my hips as I try to get more and he laughs again. Before I can yell at him to give me what I need, he slips a finger inside me and his tongue flicks against my clit, making me cry out as I hold a death grip on the sheets beneath me. He moves slowly, taking his time dragging his finger out before slowly sinking it back into me and it’s pure torture. Just when I think that he’s never going to give me anymore, he pulls his finger out and hooks both hands over the tops of my thighs, his tongue diving into me.
“Chance!” I scream, my hips bucking up against his face hard and his grip on my thighs tightens as he moves back to my clit, sucking it into his mouth and I moan, fisting my hair as I grab my breast. He develops a rhythm, flicking my clit before sucking on it and ending with dipping down to my entrance as he holds me still with his hands on my legs. It drives me out of my mind with need and I’m dripping but it’s not enough.
“More,” I moan, reaching down between my legs to fist a chunk of his hair and he groans against my pussy. Pulling away, he wipes his mouth with his hand and I wonder if it would be possible to come from looking at the fire in his eyes.
“Are you on birth control?” he asks and I blink as I try to process his words.
“Um… yes.”
He leans over me, one hand cupping my cheek. “You’re mine, Carly, and I want to take you without anything separating us but it’s up to you.”
“Yes,” I breathe out because it’s exactly what I want, too. He grins, sealing his lips over mine and I taste myself on his lips as he lines the head of his cock up with my entrance. Just when I think he’s going to thrust into me, he drags it up, teasing my clit and I let out a frustrated moan. He pulls away, chuckling as he does it again and I shake my head from side to side.
I’m certain he’s going to torture me forever instead of actually giving me what I want when he plunges into me and I gasp, gripping his arms as my hips rise up to meet him.
“Fuck, Princess,” he grits out. “That feels fucking incredible.”
He props himself up on his elbows and claims my lips, kissing me with so much love and passion that I don’t know how I’m not a pile of ash at this point. The steady pace of his cock sliding in and out of me builds me up slowly, letting me enjoy every moment with him as we get lost in each other. Hours could pass by and I wouldn’t know or care because the only thing that’s important is already right here in my arms. With a groan, he reaches down, grabbing my hip as he drives into me harder and my release builds.
“Shit. I’m gonna come, baby.”
I nod, digging my fingers in his ass cheek to urge him to thrust harder. “Me, too. Give it to me.”
Groaning, he pushes up to his hands and then runs a hand down the center of my body as his thrusts become more urgent. His hand slips between us and he circles his thumb over my clit slowly, giving me just what I need.
“Yes,” I hiss, arching into his touch and he shoves off the bed, both hands gripping my hips firmly as he holds my hips up off the mattress and powers into me. He drives into me again and again, sweat dripping off his brow and my body lets go, clenching around him as he buries himself inside me one last time with a low groan before we both collapse to the bed.
A smile lights up my face as I bask in the glow and when I run my fingers through his hair, he pulls back to look at me.
“I swear to God, woman. I’m never letting you go,” he says and I roll my eyes despite the growing smile on my face.
“Promises, promises.”
Chapter Twenty-Five
Carly
Dark clouds roll across the sky, blanketing half the city in darkness as the sun shines bright on the other side and it represents my mood perfectly. On the one hand, I’m happier than I’ve ever been because of Chance but as soon as I feel an ounce of that happiness, I feel guilty for even daring to be carefree for a moment. My sister is trapped in a hell I can’t even imagine and there is absolutely nothing I can do for her. Except worry.
Chewing on my thumbnail, I sigh and press send on my phone, hoping Mercedes will be as understanding as she has been for Ali recently. Although, it doesn’t look good when your two newest hires suddenly need a bunch of time off.
“Hello?” she answers, sounding breezy and uncomplicated. I envy her.
“Hey, Mercedes. It’s Carly.”
“Hey, Chick. What’s up?”
“I was wondering if it would be all right if I worked from home, today?”
There’s a pause and I hold my breath, waiting for her reply. “Yeah, sure. That shouldn’t be a problem. Is everything okay, though?”
No.
My world is falling apart.
“Yeah. There is just some stuff going on with my family I need to deal with and I’m afraid I would be too distracted to work if I came in.”
“Of course, Carly. Whatever you need.”
I let out a sigh of relief. “I want you to know this isn’t going to be a regular thing for me, either. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I called into work.”
“Hey, don’t worry about it. We all need to take a day to deal with shit from time to time. I get it. As long as the page goes live on time, I’m good.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure we’re on schedule.”
“Perfect. Let me know if you need anything else, okay?”
