His hand moved to the back of my head, digging into my hair. He gently tugged on it and brushed his lips past mine. He didn’t kiss me, purposely teasing me. “Good answer, baby.” He positioned himself on top of me then closed his mouth around mine.
He needed to rest his shoulder, so I should push him to his back and straddle his hips, but when I felt his weight sink me into the mattress along with this big dick, the thought left my mind. Now all I wanted was him inside me, to feel him conquer me the way he promised.
He locked my knees back with his arms then slid inside me, moaning as he felt me. “Mine.” He rocked into me hard, hitting me at a punishing pace right from the beginning. “And you will always be mine.”
He fucked me first thing in the morning. Didn’t even wait for me to wake up first.
He moved me to my back, separated my thighs, and pounded into me. He pinned me down so I wouldn’t move and coated my body with this sweat. He ground hard and fast, pushing me to a climax so he could quickly follow. Then he got off me and walked into the shower like nothing happened.
Like I wasn’t just stuffed with all of his come.
I went back to his sleep with his seed inside me, and when I woke up hours later, Bones wasn’t in the bedroom.
I pulled on his t-shirt and walked into the living room, expecting to see him sitting on the couch with a scotch on the table.
My prediction was right, but he wasn’t alone. Max was there too.
Max sat on the couch beside him and examined his shoulder. His scotch was on the table, and he was dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt. He didn’t have ink the way Bones did. His tanned skin was untouched. “I sent Shane into the field. He’ll be alright. You should be good as new in a month, so you’ll start your rotation then.” Max released his arm and stopped staring at the white bandage that covered Bones’s shoulder.
“Max.” Bones’s deep voice vibrated with tension, like whatever he was going to say next wouldn’t be pleasant. “You know I can’t be involved anymore. I didn’t think we even needed to have this conversation.”
I stopped before the kitchen table, unsure if I should be listening to this.
Max’s nostrils flared in fury, just the way Bones’s did when he was really ticked about something. “You’re kidding me, right?”
Bones turned his way, his entire body rigid with aggression. “Do I ever kid?”
“The only reason you quit the first time was because her father made you. News flash, you don’t owe that asshole anything anymore.” He rested his forearms on his knees, so absorbed in his conversation with Bones that he didn’t notice me in the background.
“First of all, no one makes me do anything.” Bones grabbed his glass and downed the entire contents with one gulp. “And secondly, don’t call him that.”
Max’s eyes widened to the size of baseballs. “You’re defending him?”
“No. Just don’t call him that.” He grabbed the second glass of scotch and drank that too. “He’s still Vanessa’s father, so out of her respect for her, keep your comments to yourself.”
Max rolled his eyes. “I put my ass on the line to save those guys. We all did.”
“No, we did it for Vanessa.”
“Whatever,” he snapped. “I risked my neck for those assholes that called you trash. And now you’re going to bail on me?” He pressed his hands against his chest, expressing his disappointment. Then he dropped his arms, his shoulders sagging with defeat. “You can’t do that. We’re a foursome. We need four.”
“You can replace me. Any guy would want the job.”
“But I don’t trust any guy. You can’t turn your back on us.”
Bones massaged his knuckles, his breathing increasing along with his anger. “I’m not turning my back on you. If you ever need something, I’m there. I’d risk my life to save someone you love—in a heartbeat. But that’s not what you’re asking me. You’re asking me to keep killing people for cash.”
“And you like killing people, and you like cash.” Max stared at his friend in disbelief, looking at Bones in a way I’d never seen him. “Come on, man. Don’t let her tell you what to do.”
“She didn’t ask me.” He brought his voice down, probably worried about waking me up. “She’s never asked me. And Crow wouldn’t ask me either, not after what I did for him. This is voluntary. This is what I want.”
“To do what?” he asked incredulously. “What are you going to do? Sit on your ass and get fat?”
Bones didn’t rise to the insult. Max seemed to be the only person who could speak his mind around him. “Look what happened to Conway. He got mixed up with the wrong people. They didn’t just come after him, but his pregnant wife too. I have no problem risking my life every day, no matter the odds. But I can’t risk Vanessa.” He shifted his gaze to the ground. “I just can’t…” His voice trailed away, pregnant with the emotion he didn’t express.
