THEO
The thought of Blake thinking so little of herself royally pisses me off. But what really gets to me is the fact it’s all my damn fault. If I hadn’t been avoiding her all this week, she’d never start to think that shit. However, her seeing me in the kitchen with Gillian is irritating because she didn’t have the courage to step up and demand to know what’s going on.
Now still seated deep in her sweetness, I brace myself on my elbows and cup either side of her face. “Don’t ever think I don’t fuckin’ love you, Blake Bandoni.”
Her breath hitches, and her eyes are shining, but she nods.
“Will you finally talk to me?” I ask, tilting my head down and pressing my forehead to hers—our noses touching.
“It hurt seeing her standing so close to you wearing nearly nothing,” she whispers. “On top of that, you came to bed smelling like Gillian.”
Closing my eyes, I let out a deep breath, remove my hands from her cheeks and roll us until she’s straddling my waist. I grip her hips to hold her in place. Having this conversation, I want us to stay connected.
“I’m going to explain a few things, and I want you to listen, Snowflake.” I wait for her to nod. When she does, I begin again. “Gillian is here because she’s good at finding people. You know we’ve got a rat working for us, and they’d gone silent for a while. Well, they’ve been making plays against us. We need them found and out of commission.”
“But why have you been avoiding me all week. I understand all of this. It’s important. What I don’t get is since she’s been here, I’ve not seen you,” she whispers, tears shining in her eyes.
Without releasing her, I sit up and slide my arms around her while I hold her gaze. “Working with Gillian was her stipulation, according to Leo. For the family, I’ve been doing what I’ve had to do. Have I touched her? Fuck no. We’ve been working together, that’s it.”
Blake nods and slumps in my arms. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, Snowflake,” I murmur, leaning in and pressing my face against her chest. “If anyone should, it’s me.” I plant a kiss directly between her breasts and pull away in order to meet her gaze once more. “Can you forgive me?”
I don’t know what she’s thinking, but her eyes bore into mine, seeking any type of deception. She must find what she’s looking for because Blake finally gives me a smile. Small as it may be.
Leaning deeper into me, she pushes me to my back at the same time, claiming my mouth for a sensual kiss. My cock thickens more than it already is, having stayed inside her.
“Blake,” I rasp, grinding her down on me making her moan. “If you don’t stop, we’re going another round.”
My woman lifts just enough for me to see her smile. “What’s wrong with going another round?”
Enough said. Flipping her to her back, I release Blake’s hips, scoop her legs over my arms, and plant them on my shoulders—allowing for deeper penetration.
Already she’s squeezing my dick like it’s the first time she’s taking me. Never has she not been tight around my shaft.
Unlike a bit ago, I take her slowly. Building up her pleasure—savoring the look that overcomes her face. There’s nothing better than seeing the beauty that is Blake. I’ll never get enough.
“Theo,” Blake moans, gripping my upper arms, sinking her nails in. I’d be surprised if she didn’t pierce the skin. “I’m close.”
“Give it to me, Snowflake. All of it,” I order, thrusting into her forcefully skin meeting skin. My cock going all the way to the hilt.
Blake does just as I command, arching into my touch. Not ready to come yet, I send her directly into another when she starts to come down. I do this three more times. Sweat begins beading our bodies.
My own release shoots through me, growling her name huskily.
Breathing heavily, I smile down at my beautiful woman and hope she knows just how much she means to me.

ETHAN
“Are you sure?” I demand, holding the phone to my ear while listening to the news my toy is now telling me.
“I am, sir. She’s got her doubts about him, and with enough toying with her mind, it’ll all work out the way it needs to.” The voice on the other end of the line murmurs.
Tapping my fingers along the desk in front of me, I glance down at the girl on her knees with my dick in her mouth. She’s not the one I want, but she’ll do until I get what I was promised.
