“See ya downstairs, Lili.” They follow Jaxx out, shutting the door behind them.
“Every man in this house is insane,” I say to myself as I walk into my closet to dress, dropping my towel right before I feel him.
“Costin?” I turn, whimpering when I notice his rapid breathing and lust filled eyes. “What are you doing here? Jaxx… the wedding.”
Costin
“You don’t think he noticed me slip in here?” I ask, not taking my eyes from her body while slipping the drive discreetly into my pocket. She is even more beautiful than I thought she would be. “Princess, you’re fucking gorgeous. I…”
She releases a small moan when I lick my lips and adjust myself. Meeting her gaze, I step forward with a growl. Mine. “Fuck it, you aren’t married yet.” I pull her to me, and she jumps, wrapping her legs tightly around my waist. Kissing her deeply, I spin, pinning her to the wall. Knowing I won’t be able to hold back, I warn her. “This is gonna be fast and hard. I don’t think I can control myself, not with you. Are you ready for me, Eliana?”
She nods, reaching between us, and pushes down the elastic waist of my sweats then bites my shoulder to muffle her scream when I immediately slam my cock inside her.
“Shh. They’ll hear you, Princess.” I chuckle, pulling back and slamming into her again. I grip her hips, no doubt leaving small bruises, while thrusting into her repeatedly. With her back pressed to the wall, she takes every fucking inch of my cock. I pound into her relentlessly, enjoying every second I am inside her like it’s my last. It probably will be. I can’t believe Jaxx turned a blind eye this time. For her.
“Time to cum for me, baby.”
“I… I…” she pants, clawing my back and shaking her head. “It’s too much. I can’t.”
“Oh yeah? What if I-” Slowing, I begin circling my hips, grinding into her and adding new friction to her already sensitive clit. I chuckle when her legs tighten around my waist, encouraging me to pick up the pace. “Thought so. Let go for me, Princess. I need to feel you cum all over my dick.”
“Oh, Costin. Fuck.” Her legs begin to tremble, and when I roll her nipples between my fingers, she fucking explodes, tightening around me and pulling me over the edge with her.
Sealing my mouth over hers, I swallow her screams as my cock swells and fucking fills her.
“God, Princess.” I still, leaning my forehead to hers. “Mine. I love you so fucking much. Run with me. Be with me, Princess.”
She looks behind me at the small rack of Jaxx’s clothing, going white, and sobs. “Oh, my God, what have I done? I’m so sorry.” She wiggles free and ducks under my arm in an attempt to leave.
“Princess, please don’t.” I grab her hips, pulling her back to me.
“No, I-” She stiffens, pivoting and pushing me behind her wall of gowns when she hears her door open and footsteps approaching the closet.
“I don’t care Jaxx. It’s fucked for you two to do this to her.” Abel swings the door open as she pulls a dress from her left, stepping into it. “You all right, Darlin’? Where the hell is he?”
I step back out, pulling at my hair as she grabs her purse and rushes from the room in tears.
Abel curses, watching her go. “You were supposed to put away the photo so she didn’t get upset.”
“I did.”
“Yeah, I mean fucking her the night before her wedding didn’t upset her worse than the photo would have.” Abel snorts with disgust as Jaxx’s face falls. Then, he turns quickly, walking after her.
“Maybe, but we are still in love with each other whether she can admit it while sober or not. She can’t fight it forever, and she just proved that to us both. She felt what I felt. I saw it in her eyes.” I sigh. “She was willingly mine for a moment, and I don’t regret a single second.”
Chapter Fifteen
Eliana
Rushing down the stairs, I blow past Daddy with a quick peck on the cheek and hurry to the car where the girls are waiting.
“Poppet, we need to talk about last night. “
“No, we don’t, Daddy. Super busy… wedding… adulting… gotta go.”
“Eliana. Stop.” I stumble when I hear Jaxx call after me but right my footing and practically launch myself into the back of our limo. “Get in!” I hiss at the girls when they refuse to move.
“Excuse us.” Jaxx steps in, shutting the door with them still outside.
“Traitors,” I whisper looking away.
“Baby, talk to me.”
“You knew. Were you setting me up?” I pull back, closing off my emotions and wrapping my arms around myself. “Why?”
“You love him. I wanted you to remember how that feels. Remember the difference. ” He reaches for my hand.
“I love Joshua,” I defend.
“Joshua is dead, baby. He’s not coming back.” He wipes a tear from my cheek, sucking it from his thumb just as Charming had done the day I met him, and I sob. Pulling me onto his lap, Jaxx holds me while I try to compose myself.
“I was supposed to marry him tomorrow. I love you Jaxx, but at least with you, it’s survival. We aren’t engaged because we are head over heels in love, Jaxx. We are doing what we have to do. Costin is different, though; he’s a betrayal to everything I had with Joshua. The only man my Charming feared I loved more than him, and now I feel like I have tainted that love and disrespected you, all in one impulsive moment. I am garbage. I don’t deserve you. Joshua would be disgusted with me if he were here,” I cry.
“God, baby, I didn’t think you would feel that way. I honestly thought I was helping you. I wanted you to see that you can be happy with me without giving him up again. You can have both safety and be in love.” He holds me close. “You do deserve me, and you are crazy if you think Joshua would be disgusted. He loved you so much. If the roles were reversed-” He shivers, squeezing me tighter, kissing my temple. “-he would be just as lost as you are, baby.”
“I’m sorry, Jaxx.” I scoot in close, hugging him around the waist. “It won’t happen again. I promise I can be a good wife. You’re right; our life won’t be a bad one.”
“There is nothing to be sorry for. It’s my fault. We will work this out later. Your heart, it matters, baby. Never say never.” He places a soft kiss on the corner of my mouth. “Now, go have fun with your friends. Regular fun, not that man displaying, penis eating kind of fun.”
“Okay,” I laugh. “I’ll see you… when?”
“When you get back.” He chuckles, stepping from the car. “I’ll be the one in the tux.”
“The one in the tux…” I nod slowly. “Holy shit.”
“Yes, holy shit.” He smiles back. “Be careful, Eliana. Smart choices. Stay alert and together. The area has been cleared and is being patrolled, but sometimes…”
“Sometimes, things happen anyways,” I whisper. “I will Jaxx. Love you.”
“I love you, too, baby.” He steps back, letting the girls climb in. Abel gets in the front, allowing us some privacy, knowing I need it right now. The second we are alone and the driver pulls away, they both start in.
