Selfish because she wanted it as much as I did.
My control snapped, three years in the making, but I can’t keep denying what’s been right in front of me this whole time. I’m scared shitless, worried I’m putting her in more danger than before, but I want to do right by her.
As soon as I head to work Monday morning, I notice the black Suburban behind me. I’m agitated as hell Victoria hasn’t gotten her dad off my ass, but as long as I keep up the act, they’ll have nothing bad to report to Johnny. Though I’m curious as to what he’s expecting to find. I suspect it’s because he thinks I’m not “good enough” for his precious princess. Whatever the reason, it’s annoying as fuck to have them watching.
I text Maddie as I wait for my coffee order at the cafe.
Liam: Good morning, my beautiful pain in the ass. I’m gonna be working till seven or so, if these dickheads don’t give me a hard time. I hope you have a great day talking shit about me to your sister, but if you decide you want company later, leave your bedroom door unlocked.
Maddie: Morning, my annoying roommate. Every day talking smack about you is great. It’s the only reason I wake up. Also, I just might deadbolt my door since you didn’t say please.
I smirk as I read her message, hearing her sarcastic tone in my head. Maddie’s never been afraid to give it as good as she gets, which is hot as hell.
Liam: What if I get on my knees and beg?
Maddie: Don’t put those dirty images in my mind.
Liam: Like they weren’t already?
Maddie: Never mind, I don’t talk to arrogant assholes.
Liam: So, you miss me yet?
Maddie: No.
Liam: Liar. I bet you’re fantasizing about me right now.
Maddie: Who is this again?
Laughing, I grab my drink when the barista calls my name. I’m a little relieved that nothing’s changed between Maddie and me. After giving in to what we both wanted and telling her how I felt, I knew there was no going back. But I wasn’t sure if it would change the dynamic of our relationship. Considering I’ve never had more than a weekend with a woman before, I had no idea what to expect once we finally crossed that line again.
But I’ve always seen Maddie as more than just a friend, which is why I avoided her.
I jump into my truck and send her one last message before I get on the road. If all goes as planned, I’ll hunt down two fugitives today and have them back in jail by dinnertime.
Liam: I’m off to do a stakeout. Think you can behave and stay out of my room? ;)
Maddie: But I masturbate in your bed every time you’re gone. :(
Liam: Fuuuck. That is not funny, Maddie.
Maddie: Who’s laughing?
Liam: I’m going to sit here with a hard-on and not be able to do anything about it. Thanks a lot.
Maddie: You’re very welcome. That’s payback for three years of lady blue balls.
Liam: I’d be careful, baby. I don’t think you know who you’re dealing with.
I nearly choke on my hot coffee when Maddie sends me a picture. She’s lying on her side in a teeny tank top and no bra. The angle of the photo shows off her glorious tits and the outline of her nipple rings. The very nipples I’ve dreamed about licking and sucking, especially since she got them fucking pierced. Her walking around in skimpy tops has only taunted me more—on purpose, I’m sure.
Liam: That’s not fucking fair.
Maddie: Who said we were playing fair? You’re the one who thought he could talk smack and get away with it.
Liam: You should punish me and send another pic. Preferably lower.
Maddie: Oh yeah? How low?
Liam: I think you’re creative enough to figure it out.
Maddie: I need to know exactly. So tell me what you wanna see.
Liam: A wet pussy.
A moment passes before my phone dings with another text, and when I open it, I see an image of a cat taking a bath in a sink that looks miserable as hell.
Maddie: One wet pussy!
Liam: And you’ve ruined it. You’re awful at sexting.
Maddie: I am not! You’re the one who requested *A* wet pussy. You didn’t specify it had to be mine.
Liam: You really are a pain in my ass.
I adjust my cock as it hardens in my jeans, which is really uncomfortable and inconvenient. She knows how to drive me insane. Maddie sends another photo, but this time it’s of a donkey wearing a lei.
Maddie: Have a great day!
I laugh and put my phone away, wishing I could drive home and spend the day with her. But I refocus, start my truck, and head out.
After a long-ass day, I’m spent and don’t get home until seven thirty. When I walk in, I find all three of my roommates in the kitchen eating dinner and laughing, but the moment they see me, the laughter dies.
