My body gives in to his demands at the first kick of his cock inside of me. I don't fuck him through it. I settle on top of him, taking him as deep as I can go, as I shudder in orgasm. My skin tingles, knowing it was utter perfection, but at the same time, my body is demanding more.
My mental health can handle knowing how obsessed I am with this man because when I look into his eyes, I see the same level of obsession there. It's okay to be a little crazy so long as we're together.
He doesn’t speak when I untie the gag from his mouth, like I expect. He watches me, his eyes darting from mine, running down the tip of my nose to my lips.
“Is it going to take you one month to apologize?” I ask.
He shakes his head no, angling his head up to press his lips to mine.
“I want more,” I groan in distaste when he pulls away, wondering just how long I can maintain all the control.
“I'm never letting you out of my sight again,” he whispers, and that's all I need to give full power back to him.
Chapter 41
Liam
Before, when Raya and I were secluded in my house, it was all about possession. It was selfish. I didn't want people coming and taking her because she was mine.
As we walk out of the room, I realize how much that has shifted. All I want to do is protect her from the men standing there. I recognize them immediately but that doesn't matter.
Part of my head can understand that we're here together because of them. That she went to Angel for help. But I want to growl at Angel, at Hollis, at Nash, at the other guy standing in the room who I have no idea who he is.
She doesn't inch away from me when I pull her tightly to my side. She makes this little sound of satisfaction as she leans her arm against my bicep.
“You fuckers have a lot of nerve,” I growl. My anger must not have the hint of danger to it I expect, because there's nothing but smiles all around. These motherfuckers are happy with themselves.
The warmth of Raya’s hand spreads across my chest as she presses her palm to it. It soothes me in a way I never thought possible. I went without her touch, went without the warmth of her body for so long, I hope that the novelty of it never wears off. I hope my heart flutters, my pulse increases, every time she touches me from now to eternity.
“Who the fuck is that?” I grunt, pointing to the stranger across the room.
“That's Fox,” Angel says. “Don't worry about him.”
I narrow my eyes. The man may be sort of my boss but I don't follow commands from anybody.
Hollis inches closer, looking back over his shoulder before speaking. “That guy’s a real fucking psycho,” he whispers. “Not like you, not like me, certified. I think it has something to do with his girlfriend being killed.”
Understanding washes over me. If his girlfriend meant half of what Raya means to me, I have no doubt that would be enough to make him certifiably insane.
The man bares his teeth as if issuing a final warning before walking out of the house.
“Lauren didn't bother to come?” I ask, looking around the room and noticing she isn’t in attendance.
“She's spitting fucking mad,” Angel says, but instead of looking worried, his lips turn up in a smile as devious as the one Raya gave me when she pulled the bag from my head.
I don't know much about their relationship but I have no doubt in my mind that it doesn't include hearts and flowers and rainbows.
“Since you're all fucking here,” Angel says, annoyance clear in his tone as he looks around the room. “I have a job and instead of assigning it to any individual, I'm letting you choose.”
“I’ll take it,” Hollis says without hesitation.
Angel’s head shakes. “This isn't a normal job,” he says. “It's more dangerous than any I've encountered. There's a very good chance that whoever takes this job won't make it out alive.”
“I'm busy for the foreseeable future,” I say, pulling Raya even tighter against my body. A chuckle sounds around the room and I smile wider when she tucks her face into my chest in embarrassment.
“I'll take it,” Hollis repeats. “Gotta die someday.”
“The pay is five times higher than normal,” Angel says, his eyes on Nash for some reason.
