“I’ll call later, I am too angry to speak with you right now,” she says, and then walks out the door.
Jagger watches her go, then he walks over to the trash can, picks it up, and brings it over to the kitchen counter. There, he swipes off every picture, discarding them like old trash, not giving them a second thought.
“You looked happy.”
I can’t help it, the words just come out.
He looks to me. “I was happy. I fuckin’ married her, but it was a lie. We both know that. These photos don’t change what has been done. They don’t change who I am now. They don’t change the way I feel for you, because it far outweighs what I ever felt for her.”
Jagger’s gaze searches my face, and before I can say anything more, his lips are on mine. His kiss isn’t gentle, nor is it coaxing. It’s a demand, a demand that I feel what he feels, a demand that I know the desperation in his heart. His free hand tangles in my hair and his body presses up against mine. I can’t help but respond, I want nothing more than to feel every part of the man who captured my soul.
He begins backing me up until my back is against the wall. He breaks the scorching kiss and stares into my eyes. I don’t know if he’s looking for confirmation to keep going, or if he just wants to see my face when he undresses me. I grip his jaw and pull his mouth back to mine. With a growl, his hand reaches down and slides up my thigh. When he reaches the hem of my work dress, he slides it up. Then he grips my leg and wraps it around his waist.
I know this isn’t going to be love making, I know there will be no foreplay or tender kisses. This is going to be hard, fast, raw, and primal. That’s perfectly okay with me, because having Jagger inside me, desperately fucking me until we can’t breathe, is the only thing I want right now. Not only is it what I want, it’s what I need. His free hand trails down and finds my panties, with one hard flick of his wrist, they’re gone.
He grips his jeans and jerks them down so hard the button goes flying off. When his cock springs free, he grips it in his hand and then lowers himself just a touch. In a split second, he’s inside me, filling me to the hilt. I groan and grip his shoulders, pressing my chest against his. I shiver when his lips find my neck and he begins nipping and sucking the flesh there.
He drives his hips upward, sinking into me and pulling back out with such intensity I’m dizzy with desire. His fingers pinch into my bottom as he uses it to drive his thrusts. They’re angry, lust-filled, and so fucking incredible my head spins. I feel my head slam against the wall behind me as an orgasm tears through me so fast I’m momentarily stunned.
Jagger’s growls and grunts fill my ears as he buries his head into my shoulder and rides me with such heat, it burns. He’s muttering my name and hissing curses as his thrusts become harder and faster. Then, he throws his head back and roars my name as he finds his release. I can feel him pulsing inside me, and I know I’ll be left with bruises on my ass once he’s finished squeezing it with each pulse of his cock. He slowly lets me down, but doesn’t move his head from my shoulder.
“Jagger?” I whisper.
“Fuckin’ love you, Willow, even if it kills me. You’re the best piece of darkness I’ve ever had.”
And he meant that, I knew it as well as I knew myself.

“Holy shit! This movie is horrible.” Ava laughs, leaning back against the sofa in her floral pajamas.
“Totally shit,” Jenny agrees, pursing her lips in disgust.
I chuckle as I run my fingers through my hair, untangling it. “At least we have a night away from the guys, that’s got to be something, right? It has been forever since we have had a girls’ night, I’ve missed you both.”
“Hasn’t life been something else?” Ava nods, eyes wide. “What a shit show the last few weeks have been. I’m glad things are finally settling down.”
I nod. “Here’s hoping it stays that way. What do you think they’re doing over at the apartments?”
The guys are having a meeting, so we organized a girls’ night to keep ourselves entertained. Plus, we wanted to take the chance to enjoy ourselves while we can—it’s rare for us to get together these days, and I miss these girls; they’re my family, and it has been too long since I’ve laughed like this. I needed it, more than they’ll ever know.
